Your characterisation of Catalyst Lass makes a lot of sense, Tom.
Jameel's and Jeff's versions were both a bit ditzy in their own way.
I once jokingly pointed out that her ability to get people to do what
she wanted would have made her a lot like Chatillon, the villain from
Net.Heroes on Parade, and, sure enough, her desire to become LNH
Leader almost bordered on malevalent (as did Irony Man's [or, for that
matter, Iron Man's desire to lead the Legion of Marvel Universe
Heroes]).  As it turned out, her ability to manipulate people was put
to good use and she was redeemed in the eyes of her teammates
although, to her credit, perhaps not in her own eyes.
