Because everybody in Nextwave was wearing a trenchcoat. It was a riff on the trope.

Comic tropes.., cant wait to see what the next trench coat or straps and pockets fad will be.

on a similar note, my fam sat down and watched the She Hulk trailer and my kids commented that she was copying Deadpool by talking to the audience. I tried to explain that Shulkie actually did it first but honestly could not explain why she did that in her solo series but not in say the Avengers title. Anyway, was too enamored with John Byrnes art to care though I did think it was a little weird even as a kid

I loved her first appearance look. If this cover is any indication, she's getting rid of that coat and that's good; I never understood why they thought a character whose power is based on energy absorption/ generation/ controlling the electromagnetic spectrum etc. would ever possibly need to wear a trenchcoat.

Amazing cover art. Always loved the character even though the original suit wasnt my favorite.

Her stint as Avengers leader was undermined by that weasel Dr Druid so there was another reason to hate that dude. She had awesome potential as a long time leader but between poor editorial decisions ( all the name changes for example) and she kinda peaked back in the 80s.

Really hoping they give her another memorable run. Cant think of any crutch that writers can lean on like Moon Knights Dissociative disorder or the Black Knights Ebony Blade cures thatEVERY Marvel writer falls back on instead of expanding the characters mythology. So again, fingers crossed they move forward with Monica

Love Monica Rambeau. She was a badayass as Captain Marvel back in the 80's when she was the leader of the Avengers. Not sure why they abandoned her back then, but let's see how bad they mess her up. And they will mess her up. In an ideal world the writing would be at least half as good as the cover art.

she's back to Photon? I liked her using the Spectrum name.

Genis-Vell probably stole the Spectrum name
