Amanda is one of the few female characters I'm really FANNISHLY in love with. She's just so very very awesome. First of all, she's short and oldish and black and very very SOLID to look at--not at all like a typical comics heroine. And then there's the personality that goes with it--one of the strongest in the DCU, that raised her kids and brought her into power in the DCU government, and which controls uncontrollable supervillains and bureaucrats.
She's ruthless at times, but in the comic especially she's very much *not* evil; she's up front that what she runs is a SUICIDE Squad, and does, in fact, try not to have it live up to its name more than necessary.
I don't think I did her justice, she's *hard*. But wonderful.
