First and foremost it should be stated that she is not a doctor. Sure she hears inter-dimensional voices that give her insight into both scientific and occult endeavors, but that doesn’t earn you a degree. You have to put both time and effort into it, and she dropped out of art school. Also, we checked with her art school teachers, and it turns out she wasn’t all that good at that either. Come on, Susan, you have to kneed the clay more, otherwise it’ll have air bubbles that will cause the clay to explode when it’s in the kiln…
Beyond that, she is pretty good when it comes to crafting unspeakable horrors. As far as super villains go, she’s got potential, she just needs to learn how to focus more. Granted, she is dealing with a number of ethereal voices in her, so I suppose we should cut her at least a little slack.
