Okay, so I like the basic design of the character, and the fact that she's from Triton (which is my favorite moon), but... I don't know. Her powers are kind of boring, actually, and if she's constantly running out of energy, that seems like a huge weakness. Maybe if she could latch energy from other people or other sources as well?

Yeah... I'm not overly impressed with her yet either. And isn't needing to replenish her energy with liquids almost tantamount to Storm Boy getting his powers from an outside source? She probably wouldn't be eligible for membership by the old rules.

Isn't she Shooter's shout out to all the Red Bull/Rockstar swilling skater gurls out in the parking lot across the way.

Maybe Lyle could get a glucose drip working for her.

I like her and her florgy attitude. I like her visually. A bit of training and she'll have full metab-control. I hope she has a future with the Legion and that she continues to press buttons and be... um... florgy.

My opnion of Giselle depends on where she's being taken, so I'm withholding making any judgement untill the next issue comes out.

She's better as a hero (potential legionnaire or friend) than as a developing villain. Her power isn't entirely clear to me - does it operate in all climates or only cold?

I do hope we see more of her, either way. Lyle will probably figure out something to overcome her glucose drink needs, being a super genius and all taken with her.

I agree.

I also think she may make a better supporting character than Legionnaire or villain; someone for Legion ideals to sort of bounce off of without sticking. Sort of like Dev-Em in the Levitz era, but more so.

I'm leaning towards this as well. Some of my favorite Legion characters were not Legionnaires (R.J. Brande, Dr. Gym'll, Shvaugn Erin, Gigi Cusimano, Yera, etc.). It could be neat to see the Legion universe expanded without every new character having to be an actual member of the team.
