> [@Larry\_Borgia](#): > > I was going to pick Buffy, but she doesn’t fight humans. So I’m sort of voting for Natasha Romanoff. Yeah, Buffy’s default plan (“Kill them all”) doesn’t really work for me when it’s humans in the house. I also figured this was just another trap to capture WW and put her in bondage, and I’m not buying into that kharma. The Cavalry it is. ---

Especially if she’s wearing the costume from the final year of the show (I swear, the top got lower with each passing season)! :o I remember a stand-up comedienne who did a monologue in a Wonder Woman costume: > [@](#): > > Everywhere I go, kids follow me around, screaming “Make the wings flap!

> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > Melinda May for me, too. Tough as nails, no B.S., and a beauty. I really expected the Cavalry to win handily, even over Carter!Wondy. I guess the board skews older than I thought. I also think that the Black Widow would have beaten even her, but the thread title disqualified her. > [@](#): > > It also occurs to me, **Skald** , that Becky is _'way_ too blabby over the phone about RhE’s bidness. Do you really want her explaining that much? [Evil!Skald] Yeah, she’s been fired. If she were a dude she’d have been dropped into the hyena pit, but what’re you gonna do? Rules are rules.

I want Hermione Granger to use some of her wizardry to rescue me. Or at least Luna Lovegood. ---

My inner 10yo is upset that his chance to see Jamie Summers, the Bionic Woman, in person is not an option. However, the inner 13yo is thrilled about the chance to see Lynda Carter in action. And I do mean _thrilled_, in a way the 10yo has yet to understand.
