Haha, yeah, that was one of the main comments I saw.

I loved that so much. It was so different from any other character and although she wasn't biologically mute, she didn't speak with her voice (usually she spoke with her fists, hehe). With her special way of processing, reacting, and interacting with the world she was sort of an avatar to many readers with a myriad of disabilities.
Also the Cain dynamic was a different way of showing emotional repercussions from parental abuse/neglect. Most heroes have great parents and suffer a traumatic loss. Or they're stereotypical wastes filled with alcohol, drug, sexual, physical abuse. She had what I liked about Bane's origins, but with a bit more nuance.

Ah, I do remember seeing that one. I collect with gut reactions and for some reason that piece doesn't resonate with me at all (this seems to be the case with most characters I like... I dig Batman, but out of the millions of statues of him, there's none of them I want to own- It's weird, I know). I like the
size and heft of it(nearly 10" tall is my jam), but the design and paint... le sigh.
I wish there was a piece something like this:
Especially with a switch out unmasked portrait? I'd be all over it!
P.S. For some reason I thought she had bold sewing designs all over her costume, not just on the facemask? I couldn't seem to find pics of that anywhere online, so did I imagine that?
