User blog:Dava4444/Ways Claire Temple's Character Could Be Exited..

Hi www

As we feel a build up in the background, from the whole Marvel Netflix Roster MCU, centering around Claire Temple, and 'who REALLY is she?' I'd like to put forth some exits for her character.. I already put forwards 'Rainbow She-Hulk' which is my preference, but let's run through some ideas.

Rainbow She-Hulk

If Claire is already 'special' there are multiple reasons she would hide being a Hulk from everyone, and many reasons she would seek out others who were special.

Genetics

An as of yet unnamed power, she has yet to share with the group.

Rand Armor Suit

If she is not to be 'special' in the sense of having Hulk, mutant or inhuman abilities, but remain human, she will be in regular danger as a human, the team will wish to protect her, and what better why than for Rand Industries to make her own Iron-Lady suit?

White Tiger

White Tiger is a character I am unfamiliar with, however, she is support for both Luke Cage and Iron Fist in the comics. She is a ninja who channels the power of a Great Tiger through a mystical talisman.

Amalgam

I think if the two above ideas, Rand Power Armor + White Tiger were combined into a character..'Steel Tiger' it would be a cool way to exit her. CGI cost would be through the roof, so, I guess not, but still.. use the style of White Tiger but in a Rand Power Suit.

Cons

Like I said putting Claire in any kind of power suit would cost a small fortune and pretty much wipe out NF's budget, so that would be too prohibitive.

Making her a straight up White Tiger is repetitive.. we already have loads of ninjas, we dont need any more to make the series roster boring. We already have the right balance.. making Claire yet another ninja is an imbalancing unimaginative way to exit her character.

Viable

I think Rainbow She-Hulk is the most viable due to the low cost* and the fact it can be already present. it instantly makes Claire a character with more depth that she has been hiding such a huge secret of being a Hulk this whole time. Her previous heightened emotional states could be retconned into having discipline, also being terrified of the 'monster' inside and not knowing if 'it' would also kill friends. I mean she was cool-as-a-cucumber while Misty was almost bleeding out.. discipline.

I think an interesting twist could be that Claire never reveals how she became She-Hulk, but for the insightful listener, I would put 4 easter eggs across the Defenders series like : 1. I used to have a boyfriend called Sam. 2. I had an ex who used to stalk me 3. I don't like going in cages 4. I had an ex who thought he was the smartest person in the world.. I showed him he was wrong.

The story hidden here is, Claire used to date Samuel Sterns, when Claire entered medical school Sam became afraid she would be tempted by the Doctors in to infidelity, Claire had feelings for Sam but felt due to her moving away.. also his actions putting more pressure on her during an intense time of study in her life, she decided to break it off with him, it made her sad, as Sam wasn't a bad guy, it was just a bad situation and not his fault.

A year passes, and Claire sees Sam outside of the college she waves to him but gets nothing in return, then the next day outside of her room window than again and again. She phones the police and that's the last time she sees Sam for around 10 years until.. after he became' The Leader'.

Two weeks after Sam becomes the Leader, he kidnapped Claire, locked her in a cage. He intents to keep her as his pet..but Claire is smart.. smart enough to trick him into fantasizing about them being together as a 'real couple'. She even goes as far to 'prove it' in encouraging him to give the gamma treatment to her as he got. And he does.. then as we already know what happens when you make a hulk angry..

Claire escapes and tells no-one. Samuel is still alive unbeknownst to Claire, who thinks she has killed him by the beating she administered. One month later.. she meets Matt.
