Voting for January's Character Of The Month

I wouldn't say they have little background. Supergirl has quite a bit of lore and Spider-Gwen has done quite a bit herself.

I have to admit, I'm curious to know how you've deciphered exactly who I was talking about, since to the best of my reading comprehension, I haven't actually specified which characters I was talking about, other than Jones whom I voted for.

I just said Supergirl and Spider-Gwen had some background. Not that you were talking about them exactly. You said most so I just used them as examples.

Yeah, the backgrounds of Supergirl and Spider-Gwen are so very similar, it's not like one of the two has been around for more than 50 years, while the other has only been around for a bit more than a year... oh wait.

Moving on to the rest of the list, we've got Agent Carter who to an extent has some background story, but in the incarnation shown here, she has less than a year of background to pull from, again not impressive.

Then we have Rey, who doesn't even have a full month of showing time, and who has only appeared in one movie thus far.

So, to sum it all up, most of the characters on the list have been active for about a year, being generous in rounding up the time, giving them little to no background story worth mentioning, as I posted earlier.

While the last two, being Jessica Jones and Supergirl, has been around for more than 10 and 50 years respectively.

I voted Supergirl, because she's one of the few major DC superheroes that I've never really bothered to get to know that well. I mean, yeah, I know her backstory and can recall some of her adventures, but when it comes to reading up on all of the overhauls the character has had over the years, I just roll my eyes and yawn. A nice, condensed dozen paragraphs explaining the character and all the variations of her that have existed over the years would be swell. Wasn't there a period where the character was replaced by a shapeshifting creature or some shit like that? The whole 'dozen paragraphs' thing might not even be possible actually, come to think of it.

But if the CotM only focuses on the TV incarnation who I think has only debuted a few weeks ago, then I might change by vote to Jessica since there probably isn't enough information regarding TV-universe Supergirl.
