When I was a young comic book reader in the 1980s there was a certain aesthetic for bad girls that was hard for me to get on board with. Of all the recent Marvel Legends releases, I can honestly say that Typhoid Mary was easily the one I was least excited about. In terms of plastic form, Hasbro did a fine enough job to add Typhoid to their many good looking female action figures.Venom Legends: Wave 1 (Monster Venom BAF) - Typhoid Mary - Hasbro 2018 Black leather may be overused but given enough quirks like Typhoid's one leg fishnet, the corset, and the half painted face, and we have an overall good look. As for Typhoid Mary's appeal, her looks, and how she is presented, I think she has a good enough look to make her somewhat stand out. That part of Typhoid Mary(the fighting prowess), is generic and easily found in the many villains that the mentioned super heroes fight. Then again, to go against the Man Without Fear, Spider-Man, and the many street level super heroes of Marvel, one has to be able to stand her grounds. I knew she had a small amount of telekinesis at her disposal, but as I mentioned before I was not aware of her ability to use fire or her skill at using a katana. Though one thing is a common thread whenever I somehow stumbled into her through my years of reading comics are her trademark black leather themed outfit and her white painted face(most of the time half painted to imply her split personality). Typhoid Mary has had many costumes and aesthetics throughout the years.
