*throws myself over you like a weighted comfort blanket but without the comfort* 

Re: MAC, a complete answer would require more time, space, & spoilers. But bottom line is she's a *hero* (and I do think that label should be emphasized) who can punch, kick, fly, & fight with the best of them, but much more importantly understands that love will save the world. (A debt owed at least partially to WW, no doubt, as is much of her character). Combine that with the fact that she presents as a queer Latina, and the result is she resonates powerfully with *this* queer Latina.
