Jeepers H. Tutu! I'm writing TEEN TITANS-- DC's hottest seller and I'm also going to write CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS which will pretty much be THE event of the millennium! I should kill off one of my castmembers... but I don't WANNA!
I know!! I'll CREATE A NEW MEMBER, make her interesting, with the worst parents EVER and stuff and then I'll KILL HER IN THE CRISIS since she isn't a *REAL* Titan anyway and she's silly.

It occurs to me the fact the people care so much about Kole after so long a time means Marv did his job. His job was to make fans care about a character who literally was a throwaway.

As much as I also loved Kole (her costume, her hairstyle, her powers... her wanton sexuality!) and was saddened to see her die so quickly during the Crisis, I don't hold this against Marv. Quite the opposite in fact. I thought he did a great job of introducing a character whose light shone so briefly and yet so brightly with the team that so many people are still trying to get her brought back to life now, 20 years later.
And I also have no problem with the fact that she was 'created to die'. Crisis obviously needed a high-body count for whatever reason and as LYL suggested 'Who were the alternatives'? We already lost both Aquagirl and Dove I (who were both big faves of mine!). I don't think I could've handled losing any more early Titans. Much better to lose someone I'd only been liking for a short time rather than someone I had known for so long that I could remember dressing up as and pretending to be as a 10 year-old (as was the case with Aqualad and Speedy!).
... Hmmm, speaking of Kole like this has made me start to wonder if an 'Ultimate DC' wouldn't be such a bad thing after all? Imagine if we got to see a re-booted Titans-verse whever people like Kole and Aquagirl and Dove I really got to shine! That would be Hell cool!
Oh, and I totally agree about Lilith being the real victim of Graduation Day! I so hope that whatever weird planet Donna was on at the end of that series that Lilith is there too, and that when they come back its together.
