What Makes Her Pure Good?[]
In General[]
- She is a registered Nurse so even when the Defenders are not around, she helps plenty of other people very often over several years.
- She always is treating and stitching the Defender heroes after their heroics/vigilantism such as Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and even Misty Knight.
- She acts as the heart, emotional support and voice of reason to the various Defenders.

- Despite the phenomenal admirable standard of the MCU, she stands out for continuously being a driving force behind the Defenders, with far less resources than other heroes.
