They need their own comic


Crazy Jane, a woman suffering from multiple personality disorder, was part of Grant Morrison and Richard Case's Doom Patrol. A highly complex character, each her 64 personalities had its own superpower. I would have loved to have seen a series come out of her appearance in Doom Patrol, only a handful of the personalities were talked about in the original but a series could have gone into deeper details of each one.

Jet Girl is the sometimes unappreciated sidekick of Tank Girl. Much less aggressive than Tank Girl's other friends she is thought of as boring and criticized for her taste in music. Yet out of all this she has a serendipitous lifestyle in which she is never in need of money and her wants are simple, resulting in a very relaxed outlook on life despite being pursued by the law.
*The character of Jet Girl portrayed in the 1995 film Tank Girl bears no resemblance to the original comic character and should not be used for the argument of a Jet Girl comic*
