Rose ans Thorn

[jamesfreeman]

Remember her from the Gail Simone mini and her brief appearance in Birds of Prey.

What happened to her? Did Infinite Crisis retcon her away?

[Red Jack]

I think she's just in the normal limbo of unused characters.

She's the new Batgirl dontcha know.

I remember her from the old Lois Lane comics, back when they'd put *two* stories in an issue: the main title, and then a "lesser" character. (I also had some Superman comics with Metamorpho stories in the back.) So back then, a "Rose and The Thorn" story would come behind the latest Lois Lane story. Not sure of the current take, but back then Rose was a nice sweet short-haired blonde who had a second personality she was totally unaware of: The Thorn---a strong-bitch crimefighter who wore a long dark auburn wig and a skimpy dark green outfit with thigh-high boots. The Thorn knew about Rose, but Rose didn't know about The Thorn.

I was very fond of Gail's mini. Sexy and disturbing.

Sexturbing.

I hope Gail can actually find a use for her in Secret Six. She wasn't exactly a villain, but she did seem willing to hurt innocent people to accomplish her goals.

I suspect Thorn's still knocking about out there...

SECRET SIX would probably be easier to arrange, but a WONDER WOMAN guest-shot might be more interesting...

And if you haven't read Gail's ROSE AND THORN mini, do so now. Don't worry, she doesn't invalidate the old stories. She just... enhances them a mite...

Thorn Mite was the best part! Everyone should have their own 5th-dimensional imp buddy. Deadmite, Swamp Mite, Unknown Soldimite...

I did read the series and I loved the whole concept of her having multiple personalities, especially the Irish chick.

But it's the stuff I saw her do in BOP and Green Arrow that leads me to believe she woudl fit in well with the S6. Like I said, she hurts innocents quite frequently.

[jamesfreeman]

But here's why I think she would rock as a SS advesary. It's like she and the Six are two halves of the same coin.

The Six are a group of villains and anti-heroes who don't kill people unless they have it coming, and Thorn is a "hero" who is willing to hurt innocents to gain what she views as "justice".
