Don't care. Really, death is the only thing that can redeem some of these characters. The fact that Cap is going to try and "make things up" to the mutant community after this event is garbage.
When did Cap promise this? He said the Avengers would help T'Challa to rebuild Wakanda which is understandable considering it was Tony who's indirectly responsible for it being reduced to rubble. BP showed his discontent toward Tony & even slapped the taste outta his mouth for his actions and sluggishness in correcting the problem.

So every time Wonder Woman does better than a man in a JLA book, we're supposed to assume it's a feminist angle?

Wonder Woman herself was originally supposed to be a feminist role model anyways , so that point is moot .

i get the fanservice thing, i guess i just... I dunno. I can see why it's considered sexist, I guess.
I think I'm just so used to seeing Canary be Ollie's superior in Green Arrow books that I'm not too put out by bruce looking more competent than she is. I mean, it is Batman.

In Fleisher's story , Batman was essentially a perfect he-man to Canary's clingy , worthless female self . Hard to justify , especially when you consider that the story was set in Star City .

It is ridiculous that she would be incapable of getting even basic info out of a local thug(w/o Bruce's aid) .In Fleisher's story , Batman was essentially a perfect he-man to Canary's clingy , worthless female self .

I suppose...

It's the whole premise behind Uncanny Avengers; Cap tries to make up to the mutant populace by recruiting more mutants to the team, namely Rogue and Havok.
