Aurora is a bad-ass. From a few years back.
WEAPON X (vol 2) #22 shows that Jeanne-Marie Baubier has a history of kicking ass and "dialing up" a new personality as needed.

Aurora is rescuing Malcolm Colcord (psycho ex-commander of the Weapon X program) and Madison Jefferies (former member of Alpha Flight brainwashed into following Malcolm's orders) after a coup at Weapon X. Malcolm was Aurora's lover for a time, but snapped after Brent Jackson (the mastermind of the coup) called him a mutant lover. Malcolm beat Aurora savagly, and since Weapon X members are programmed/conditioned not to attack Weapon X handlers, she couldn't defend herself.

Well, that might explain why none of Aurora's personalities want to kill Norman: leaving him alive would be punishment enough.

That would be at least her fourth personality I think, since in the old Alpha Flight series she had three; the repressed Jeanne-Marie Beaubier, the hedonistic, some might say wanton, Aurora, and a third personality also called Aurora which was more balanced than either of the first two was coming into being.

	I like this Aurora. She's a bit more like her brother (although I guess in recent times Jean-Paul has gotten less dickish). (Reply to this) (Thread)

	There is nothing bad ass about Frank Teiri's work. There is only 'Finally over!' and 'Another cliche?'. (Reply to this)

	While I am vehemently against actual heroic types killing, I have to ask, why do the homocidal types NEVER KILL when the victim wants them to? We all know the victims will pull themselves up for another murder spree eventually. It just makes me tired of the stupid. (Reply to this) (Thread)

It would be refreshing to see the bad guy plead, "Finish me," and the hero reply, "Fine!" and do it.

You don't see it as much anymore, but what used to rile me up was the scene where the two antagonists are fighting on a rooftop or edge of a cliff; the villain leaps, usually after he seemed to be defeated, and the hero steps aside just enough to let him go sailing off the edge. The villain gets killed, but the hero didn't have to actually do it.

I'm sure this is at TV Tropes but I've sworn not to go there on a worknight.

	Despite the viscous beating Malcolm gave Aurora (with her unable to defend herself) Aurora didn't know how bad the Weapon X program was. As Malcolm was fond of Aurora (psycho though he was) he was able to keep most of Weapon X from her. IIRC, she just thought it was a more secretive version of Alpha Flight.

	That does make me feel better, though I'm not sure why. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)
