Mindmistress: No. Never in a million years. Artist: Look, we're trying to meet you halfway... Mindmistress: Yes. I can see which half.  I appreciate your including some of my armor, but...it's armor!Mindmistress: fishnets? Cleavage-windows? Leaving the heart unprotected...a perfect target?  Ditto the legs...you do know women's breasts aren't perfect spheres, right? Ewww... Artist: It'd improve circulation... Mindmistress: ...Especially below men's belt buckles.

Artist: We could put you in a team---for instance, the UN Law-Enforcement Force.  Olympic--the Mystery--the Ultimate--G-Force.  Mindmistress: Wow. The big league. Full of iconic characters...but...'Law-Enforcement Force'...Mindmistress: ...Sounds a little...forced?? ...Still the idea has merit... Artist: Problem: No one's allowed to be smarter than Mystery... Mindmistress: Which one--? The our-earth Mystery--the other-earth Mystery...the post-emergency Mystery--?

Artist: Uh...there's alos the Teen Tomorrow Team...the core team that leads a superhuman army in One Million A.D....Meteor...Eclipse...Double Star.... Mindmistress: Which ones---the originals, first reboot, second, or third?Artist: I'm...surprised how familiar you're with-- Mindmistress: I read eight books nightly--including graphic novels. Quite frankly--I've read String Theory less complicated than your continuity-- or lack thereof.

Artist: You admire simplicity...? Like the Golden Age American Law-Enforcement Alliance...with..Intangible...Speedster...Hourglass...Dr. Darkness...but...we've tried to streamline our continuity...and each attempt-- Mindmistress: ...Made it worse.Mindmistress: Rebooting alienates your fanbase-- sacrifices for...novelty. Novelty fades...old ideas--reappear.  'Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.' ---That's PC/PR's problem. Good writing. Innovative concepts.  That's what works.
