>>94784627Because her power was cool.
Because she was strong independent woman who got in trouble for being too gung ho (Demon Bear) and learned to tone it down and become a capable leader.
Because her friendship with Rahne is cute (and its bullshit she hasn't' interacted with Rahne since the Elixer bullshit. There's been two civil wars, the multiverse died and was reborn, and Cap become a Nazi and they still haven't said a word to each other).
Because her being a Valkyrie ties an X-men character into Thor's corner of the Marvel Universe and its neat.
Because she's proud of her race and heritage without coming across as a smug eternal victim.
She's cool. I wish she hooked up with Sam.
