Well, yeah, the gender in the series is lopsided. But they keep utterly wasting the women characters they have. Karai's storylines keep treading water, and have started to feel recycled to the point where I tired of seeing her in yet another can't-come-home-yet plot. Renet was a one-dimensional abortion of a scripted character that they handled so horrendously bad that I wouldn't want to salvage this version of her. Mona Lisa is a crime against good writing. Chloe is only getting more development in Amazing Adventures, and she's so much younger than April anyway. Casey's sister has been mentioned but never seen, and for all we know she may be a figment of Casey's imagination. That leaves...just about nobody left alive who is remotely human or anthropomorphic who could be April's female peer.

And of course you know they'll never adapt interesting women characters like Aka (IDW), Angel (IDW), Lilith (Mirage), Lucindra (Guest Era), Radical (Mirage), Renet (Mirage, and not totally lame), Robyn (Mirage), Seri (Mirage), Shadow (Mirage), Sloane (Mirage), Tang Amaya (Image) or Dr. Xeinos (Mirage/Image, though her Utrom gender was largely an informed attribute). I'd have mentioned Pimiko (Image), but I never really cared for her design, and 2K12 Karai has almost the same personality anyway. I also didn't mention Sara (Image), because she is such a trampy airhead who only treated Mikey like a friend with benefits. XD

Also, just a heads up, this has already veered way off the thread's topic.
