So I am new to this Wikia and Fandom, so I do not know a whole lot about the television series, but what incarnation of this Devastation from the series inspired her look? When I looked at her comic book incarnations she was depicted as a small child with an elf-like appearance, or a young adult female sorceress with vibes reminiscent of Circe.
Why is she a muscular woman with cornrows and thorn tattoos? I think this design really throws off the audience who she really was in the comics, especially since this was her first animated appearance.
Was she retconned for the series due to copyright issues of the original character? Was this design consequential as to how she would affect the story? This goes for some of the other characters I noticed as well in the series. Was this answered long ago?
