With all this infinite crisis crap going on with infinite crisis why doesn’t someone bring back Kate Godwin, the only transsexual character ever in any ongoing comic.  No, Byrne had to kill her and everyone else off.  Bastard!

Actually…wasn’t it Rachel Pollack who killed her off? I didn’t read the Vertigo run of DP, but I don’t recall Byrne killing any of that crew (and yes, I bought all but the last 2 issues of that crap cuz the orignial Patrol was back and I love them. But…GAWD…was that dreck!).

So, I looked up Kate on wikipidia and she sounds interesting. I would love to see this character return…but where would she go? She wouldn’t really play in any of the team books I read, but I could totally see her becomming a supporting role in Manhunter or somthing similar.

If I remember correctly the ending was a bit ambiguous, which is on par for the series.  My understanding of byrne’s reboot was that he erased everything prior to the original group, including morrison’s.  I have no idea about what impact infinite crisis had on the whole thing as wiki says that Larry Trainor is again negative man, even though he became Rebis in Morrison’s run.  GIven this situation someone could bring her back.  I would buy every comic created by the person who brings back, but I’m doubtful. 

Just in case Gail Simone reads this board.  Wouldn’t it be interesting to have a transsexual woman as part of Wonder Woman’s entourage?  Think of what that element can bring to the issue of gender relations within the book.

As for Manhunter.  I think they already have a trans woman of a sort.  :P
