>>117469164Bendis, hack though he is, was very clever and ruthless in how he destroyed her:
1. Cut her off from the Avengers by having her kill some of them and wreck them.
2. Cut her off from mystic Marvel by implying she had no skill as a sorceress and was only a mutant, not a Witch.
3. Having stripped away the Avenger and Witch parts of her identity, he has her genocide mutants.
4. On top of that he uses her as a plot device, giving all the character arcs to other characters like Wolverine, Spiderman, and Magneto.
In effect he makes her unusable and very difficult to re-integrate into the MU. Her solo was cut off from the rest of the MU, and she has been used as a plot device or prop in almost every appearance, aside from Robinson and Zub, and a decent cameo in Star, she's become a D list chatacter, no longer one of Marvel's major female characters.
We are now seeing Hickman emphasise that her "sins" can only be redeemed by her death, and also imply she is an inept sorceress, like Bendis using Strange to stick the knife in (which appeals to X-fags who have always resented her being an Avenger and Witch instead of just a mutant).
TBQH I'd rather she be rebooted in a licensed comic about her being a witch, by another publisher like Image or IDW.
