AVENGERS POLL: FIREBIRD

[Doctor Bong]

How do you rate Firebird as an avenger, on a scale from 1 to 8 points?
How well does she work for you within the dynamics of the team?
How much do you like/dislike her as a character?

I think Firebird makes a very interesting Avenger and I'm sorry that she hasn't been utilized more often. Every time she shows up in the book, something good happens in terms of character development. She's an excellent catalyst for other characters to bounce off of, she has a cool costume and a unique personality.

I thought she was a pretty cool character, although sometimes her stints were too short. Loved her in the West Coast Avengers run.

I would liked to have seen her more. She could have become popular somewhat akin to Dawnstar of the Legion.

I liked the way she was used in Volume 3, to discuss mortality and immortality with Thor, and I think she had some important role in WCA too.
However, as powers go, I like other characters much more. Both the Original Human Torch and Firestar would be better choices for me in terms of flame guy/gal around.

She had an interesting role during Busiek's run and found her to be pretty fun. She's got a five for me!

[freedomfighter]

She has a unique personality in comics and I think she would be fun to write as a character. Definitely underdeveloped in terms of what she can bring to the table. Always thought she and Starfox would be good on a team together, they'd bring an interesting sexual chemistry. That's part of why I like certain characters that didn't have good stints as Avengers- you can see where the potential lies with some of them.

I gave Firebird a 4. I liked her unique personality, and being Catholic, I liked that some writers played her religious devotion into her character. I'd like to see her pop up somewhere, even as an Avenger.

I like freedomfighter's idea of a chemistry between Firebird and Starfox. His romantic powers could really place temptation on her chaste beliefs. Definite potential.

[Tana Nile]

I also gave her a 4. She's unique and interesting. I really liked the relationship she developed with Thor in Busiek's run. If we ever actually have an Avengers team again, I'd like to see her pop up some time.
