-Lost their families at a young age

-Got their powers in a traumatic accident, kept them secret from most people

-Were attacked by a brainwashed ex-lover

-Hang out in dumpsters

-Blonde & probably bisexual BFF with a heart of gold that kicks ass when needed

-Don’t know how to deal with emotions legally

-Sarcasm

-Too Much Guilt

-Also, drowning the guilt in alcohol, yeah, that’ll work

    That’s what we’re assuming will happen, and we’re really excited for it. While we’re still mourning Ben’s premature death, and are sad to have such an awesome story arc taken from him, transferring it to Karen is also a really neat shift. In the same way that giving her Wesley’s loaded gun in Season 1 called back (in our minds) to her failure to shoot Bullseye in “Guardian Devil”, giving her Ben’s active, heroic “Born Again” role would make for a great contrast with her powerlessness in the comic. (Not that Karen’s arc in “Born Again” isn’t heroic in its own way– she survives a horrific experience through sheer tenacity, and we’d never dream of downplaying that– but it’s undeniably a passive role.) We’ve also been dying for Karen’s journalist career and Matt’s superheroics to bolster each other, and this would be a really powerful way of facilitating that team-up.  

Yesss finally I got round to finishing this! The Defenders Secret Santa, in colour, hope you like it.

Happy holidays, everyone!

Merry Christmas @hoeskookmintz ! Here I am, your very mysterious Secret Santa for @mattelektrasecretsanta! I really hope you like this, I got the feeling most people were doing fic but this is more my style. I thought the quote matched the idea that you always end up with the one that’s meant to be, and tried to include the “favourite mattelektra moments” you sent me.

Anyway, here it is! Hope you had a very happy whatever holiday you celebrate and I wish you a happy new year to you and everyone who took part in the Mattelektra Secret Santa, especially to @fadedtoblue and @significantowl for all the work they put into this!
