You could also say that her power is one of active contrariness, as well--she cancels and reverses an otherwise universal force. Hence she instinctively resists any majority trend.
Star Boy's the exact opposite--a natural conformist, with the power to intensify that same universal force.

I was backing up some pics from my digital camera and looking for the picture of Waid and Kitson I took at a creators forum at the Baltimore con. I thought I might post it here and start a thread for people to add their own irreverent captions. In the forum, Waid was talking and talking, Kitson was quietly sitting by -- made me think of this thread.
It seems to me that Cos' and Brainy's behavior in "leading" the Legion are sort of like exaggerated projections of Waid and Kitson.
Waid talks . . . a lot. Anyone who's heard him can attest to that. He's the primary writer of the title's dialog. Kitson seems to add subtle, sly, intellectual touch to the work -- Dream Girl watching a MacBeth video -- a Hamlet reference in Brainy's lab.
Let's hope Lightning Lad isn't a projection of Wacker. I'd hate to see him leave abruptly.
