Ms. Cramer, I'd have to agree that a warrior like Umbra shouldn't seem so dependent on men. I've always felt that the match between Mon-El and Shadow Lass was a bit forced. A more interesting match, if we want to talk about Tasmia's potential partners, might very well be Val Armorr. They are both skilled warriors with exceptional hand to hand skills. The difference is that Karate Kid is all about discipline and Umbra is wilder. There is much potential in such a match.

Just a thought.
