Following Inchworm has brought us to the point in the Slaughterhouse 9 arc that I feel goes overlooked, which is that when the Undersiders and Travelers are coming up with the plan to bodyjack a slaughterhouse member, they narrow the viable targets down to Shatterbird or Burnscar. And I think the counterfactual where they catch Burnscar instead is pretty slept upon as a premise. Because while Shatterbird's characterization means that she's very predictably a bomb waiting to go off the second something distracts Regent badly enough to give her an opening, I think that there's a strong case to be made that Mimi ending up as the Undersider's pet thrall artillery would constitute a significant improvement in her quality of life.
