I have forced hundreds of people to sit through presentations of my paper on windfalls (due out tomorrow, no matter what). Some people, like Gordon, have seen it twice. And none of my geeky Com-Con friends bothered to tell me about Windfall, aka Wendy Gordon, doomed tragic heroine and member of The Outsiders? Sigh.
Not being limited by reading the actual comics, I'm fascinated by Windfall. She lived a life marked by huge swings in fortune, enduring tragedy and trauma at times, and being part of a superhero team at other times. She also brings swings in fortune to others -- saving some, asphyxiating others. Windfall can control the wind. Yes, she can fly!
