I recently reviewed Spitfire #1 for CBR and, in the process, wrote the following sentences: "Over a year since Captain Britain and MI:13 ended, Paul Cornell returns to one of the book’s members with a Spitfire one-shot that’s part of Marvel’s 'Women of Marvel' initiative. With Cornell now a DC exclusive, this could be the last chance for fans of the title to see him handling some of the characters for a few years, at least, and Cornell does not disappoint. While the comic stars and focuses on Spitfire, Blade also features prominently as Cornell continues to build on their relationship with one another as they go vampire hunting in New York City."You can read the rest HERE!

hhh...is that name really such a good match for that character? I mean, she looks just like Firestar in that pic, sure, but that's not it.
The Spitfire was a real thing. Helped us win WWII. Kept us safe. In the American idiom, the word is applied to a certain sort of feisty, implacable ass-kicker woman, so it probably sort of works here. But that word, in British English...*expression of faux-pained incredulity*
/pointless pedantry
//\Oo/\\
Well, she is a British superhuman who helped fight the Nazis in WWII as part of the Invaders (retroactively added by Roy Thomas in the 1970s), so the reference is very much intended.
Yyyeah...but you'd think there would be a more direct, more literal visual correlation.
*waves hands* I know, I know...
