"Who was that kid?"

Black Beetle's daughter? I mean come on, they only had ca 15 issues to flesh her out! That is not nearly enough to get anything done obviously!

Was Rani meant to be a reference to the old Dr Who villainess? We may never know...

I believe that DeMatteis told me during a conversation (not an interview, and therefore a little more candid) that there were no specific plans for her to be anyone special. I'll have to touch base with him again to see if I'm remembering correctly, but I think Rani was just meant to be Rani.

Thanks, you're probably right. I'm sure it's just my devious "fanboy" mind working overtime.

Come on guys! She was just a "supporting character", something that is quite missing a lot from current modern comics. Nowadays, we just have action scenes one after the other. A supporting cast serves to develop the hero and give some character interaction. Like Dirk or Trix' in the good ol' classic Booster Gold series!

I was always a bit terrified that they were going to pull the 'Rani grows up to be Booster's Wife/Rip's mother.' on us.

(I was honestly getting the same vibes, but I guess that's because of the lack of purpose that was around Rani, we started interpreting things as such..)
