Watch Haywire and you'll know why! The following is just one of the many fight scenes she had in the movie. No stunt doubles were used. And in case you were wondering her acting in the movie was pretty good.

Woman power!!!! Holy crap, she beat the crap out of him. XD

@HushoftheWind: You know, I'd pay actual money at this point to see the sales figures on that book, because I'm sick of speculating over whether it's as popular and/or doomed as everyone keeps claiming. Of course, I've been saying for a while now that one of the hindrances of Arena, all else being equal, is that it negates the opportunity for other writers to use these characters (heck, even Yost earlier last year -- who co-created X-23 and is currently writing Scarlet Spider -- seemed keen on the notion of her teaming up with Kaine at some point, and of all writers he's the one most likely to have actually gone and done so).

That said, this isn't X-Force, and I'm not sure whether Laura has a stun setting. I'm not sure it'd be in-character for her to join an X-Men squad, unless they've recently begun officially condoning killing and I missed it.

Laura has actually tried to distance herself from killing. That was the entire point of her solo series, as well as some of the points made in Avengers Academy. So, being on a non-killing team would be the perfect--and natural--next step in the evolution of her character.

The first issue of Avengers Arena sold over 64,000 copies. It ranked 19th overall on the sales chart. Issue 2 sold 43,000 copies and ranked 50th overall in sales.

Thanks for the sales figures!

@Matchstick: I dont even think she looks the part I mean sure she is fit but Wonder Woman is supposed to have curves lookin sexy. I saw some pictures of Gina and she don't got much curves. To me her face and Dianas face look totally different.

Well to that I say, Diana is supposed to be supremely beautiful, but that doesn't mean she can't be strong and muscular too.

I think it's a good book so far. At first I wasn't convinced on the subject matter of the book, but after reading the first few issues I've become fairly engrossed by it. I think it's neat to see how they cope with modern society and the revelations of what they each become.

@lilben42:

I think she kind of looks the part--I stress kind of. I dunno about her acting though, I've never seen her in a movie to my knowledge.

He's pretty awesome. I miss Cass though. X.x

I love homicidal maniacs. <3

I think there is another topic on this, not that I really care. Anyway, I kind of like it. A little on the flashy side, but it isn't horrible.

I think that I still like both companies about the same as I did before. I still follow the same books and characters and neither relaunch or reboot has affected that for me.
