You know until I saw those panels in isolation…I really never realized how much subtext is going on in those Kitty and Courtney stories before.
Kitty may have a type when it comes to her boyfriends over the years…but her girlfriends seriously run the gamut.
Does she have a type in her boyfriends?
Piotr Rasputin – She first crushed on the 6’10” (or however tall he is) built-like-a-stell-outhouse Russian farmboy.
Doug Ramsey – She had a couple of not-quite-dates with the “boy next door” kid who liked computers as much as she did.
Pete Wisdom – She was in a relationship with a the cynical, burned out Black Ops agent. (and Claremont can de-age her all he likes, she was written as an adult by her primary writer at that point in time)
Bobby Drake – Well, THAT was probably a non starter for at least ONE more reason than is now obvious.
Peter Quill – Not entirely sure how serious that was as I didn’t read the titles it appeared in, but it did seem to last for a while.
Aside from have a weird preponderance of guys named Peter in her life (more if we count Ultimate Kitty who dated Peter Parker IIRC) I’m not sure I see a type.
(But it’s Friday and I’m knackered so I’m probably overlooking something obvious)
