Of course, it's also eating her up. She wears the suit to protect others and she can direct the toxicity. I really like the character as an iteration on Rogue.<br /><br />That said, Rogue is never going to die so Biohazard's days are numbered. Her whole deal in this episode is that rather than play Arcade's game and fight in a game that's stacked against her, she's going to enjoy her last few days until she's eventually murdered off.<br /><br />But then dino-boy screams things at her and she completely changes direction so whatever.VanVeldinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441999455333315750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35276667.post-81404327975127388062016-11-23T12:07:42.879-06:002016-11-23T12:07:42.879-06:00I want to like this cover.

Like it hasn't thought beyond who should be in the scene. <br /><br />To the extent I <i>can</i> extrapolate any emotion from it, I'd guess they don't particularly care about each other, but they're clinging together because they're in such a hostile place that non-hostility is a comfort. (As long as I'm hoping for depth that probably isn't there: it'd be nice if their cooperation were motivated by something other than simple altruism, and if teaming up were risky both in terms of survival and moral growth / psychological health.)SkilTaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15496366094516039415noreply@blogger.com
