You said just before you realised the distinction between a "because of sales" and "because of intrinsic character".
So Shadowcat doesn't run around phasing common criminals hearts out because of sales?
To be perfectly fair, there's no point in her doing that. I'm sure if she developed some fetish for killing criminals, they'd do it.
If she decided she wanted to kill Spider-Man, she wouldn't would she?
Why is this whole "Sue was posturing" issue coming up? Why is there any reason to believe she is lying?
