Why did Livewire catch on while Volcana didn't?

Shock-jock turned electric villain is a more novel gag than fiery redhead
Wyatt Mitchell
Live wire had a more stand out personality and wanted to kill sups (making her hotter). Volcana is a dime a dozen vixen that wants to bang sups.
Cameron Young
Better voice and backstory.
Owen Brooks
Livewire didn’t blow up that much either, I think ultimately they’re just coombait and don’t have anything else going for them.
Anthony Stewart
Yeah but it's bruce timm all the female characters are coom bait it's why a guy who mimicks his style for porn is so popular
Josiah Kelly
lesbians make a surprising large part of the target demographic for some unknown reasons. volcana was too sexy to relate to...apparently
Julian Richardson

>catch on
She's more successful than Volcana, but she's still barely a blip. Livewire's way more Volcana's speed than say Harely. Now who's bigger between Livewire and Mercy Graves, I dunno.
James Russell
Mercy was in a movie. And got blown up
Jayden Jenkins
Harley >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Mercy >>>>>>>> Livewire >>> Volcana
Thomas Cooper
Yeah but HQ for example has the abuse victim angle, that made her big. She was coombait but also an interesting character. Had Livewire have one of those she would probably be Supes Harley Quinn
Nolan Lee
Look regardless of who you favor the fact is that Livewire, Mercy, and Harley all broke out from the shows into main canon and all of them have had widespread recognition. Harley just has the most momentum given her relation to Joker and Batman material in general. Though OP does have a good point, what did Volcana and arguably Roxy Rocket do wrong? Is it simply exposure? Hell I don't think there's anything really wrong with Volcana. We need more female villains these days, especially Supes

>lolquirky girl
mercy is superior as an actual right-hand minion
professional, dresses like a female kato, actually accomplishes most of the tasks lex gives her
only reason harley was such a break out character is because people relate more to goofy kooks and BTAS being in the public consciousness more than STAS
but mercy definitely works in the role of minion way more than harley
Julian Collins
Because Livewire was just morally-ambiguous enough to be able to play the anti-hero when she got introduced to the comics, while Volcana was literally a one-trick pony in the show and was ditched as soon as Timm was bored of her.
Jackson Collins
The fuck are you talking about?
Livewire on the show was a pretty unambiguous piece of shit before she even got powers.
Even Parasite was more ambiguous than her and he just went full asshole like ten minutes after getting his powers.
Her going good was pretty out of left field really.
Nathan Martin
But Volcana was literally an Anti-hero.
Wyatt Reyes
I mean in the comics, where Livewire ended up getting most of her bitchiness toned down fairly fast and soon ended up helping Superman more than hindering him. Even the last issue of the TAS tie-in comic ended with her helping to save the day from Darkseid.
Ryan Gomez
I'm talking strictly fame and recognition in the public eye.
Jose Howard
They pretty much resolved her story arc within her debut episode though. There's really no excuse for her to return to villainy without rehashing her blackmail plot or drastically changing her character.
Easton Nelson
>There's really no excuse for her to return to villainy without rehashing her blackmail plot or drastically changing her character.
And she ended up doing that anyway by the time of JLU.
Aiden James
Oh hell, I completely forgot about that.
I guess you can just chalk it up to her just not getting the exposure that her contemporaries got.
Cooper Cook
the anti-hero shit was dumb, out of character, and you're dumb for defending it
