I'm not making any assumptions just because it's superheroes, I got burned bad last time I did that reading Gamma (a damn fine read either way, don't get me wrong).
That being said, I enjoy jovial russian characters like Pepesha and I hope she bounces back. And I kind of get how Koveras feels, it's like having an American character who's always cramming burgers in their mouth but it just makes their boobs big instead of actually being obese. Like, it's the stereotype but at least it's just being playful with it instead of making it a grotesque caricature.
