LOOK KIDS SHE'S SMOKING AND WEARING MAKEUP BECAUSE SHE'S A GIRL AND DOESN'T HAVE A MOUSTACHE TO TWIRL
While I agree that Claremont's work was superior, I don't think Wolfman was trying to say "She's evil because has makeup and she's smoking." I mean, Adeline smokes in the same story.
I think it was supposed to serve as a jarring contrast to how she usually looked like as the Titans' "kid sister."
