That's kind of how the LNH has always worked, really.

I came up with this whole dynamic for an attempt at starting an LNh v3 
#1 which would have had an all-female team, mirroring the Brian Wood 
X-Men of the time (probably for the best that went nowhere, considering 
how that turned out...) I came up with this whole dialogue exchange out 
of the blue and didn't know what characters it went with, later deciding 
on Cat and Tara.

I excerpted this scene on the LNH tumblr, and to this day it still gets 
reblogs every now and again from people who know nothing about the LNH.

I've always kind of written Tara as being a reflection or distillation 
of current internet culture.

All the characters I create tend to have powers that are both 
wide-ranging and very specific, kind of like the early Silver Age Flash 
and Green Lantern. There's a definite logic by which they work, but it's 
associational logic.

One thing about the whole Alice/Victoria relationship is that Alice 
really has many of the same inseucrities and anxieties Vic does, she's 
just better at hiding them because she's built her personality around 
bieng the confident hero/leader type.

Like Cat/Tara, their relationship was influenced by Carol Danvers and 
Jessica Drew's. Carol being someone who was always pushing forward (even 
when it might not be a good idea), Jess being someone who tended to 
retreat into anxiety. Alice is Carol Danvers+Kitty Pryde and Vic is 
Jessica Drew+Illyana Rasputin, more or less.
