Sunbow Scarlett rocks. Wouldn't be surprised if she's one of the next to get a Sunbow style O-ring figure, though the render on pilot Scarlett looks like her original head, so maybe no ponytail.

Sunbow Baroness and Destro are awesome. Episodes like Eau de Cobra, Skeletons in the Closet and Last Hour to Doomsday give a lot of insight into how messed up their relationship is, which makes them the perfect counterpoint to Flint and Lady Jaye. And they use that relationship to strengthen the characters with moments like Baroness literally burning Destro's house down.
Comics Destro and Baroness aren't so good. Neither seems to bring out anything much unique or interesting in the other, and both characters have gotten progressively more and more watered down. Baroness went from efficient and ruthless to confused and weak. Destro went from being ruthless but "honorable" to following Baroness around like a puppy. Both characters started out great and got downright terrible.

But it's dumb and not reflective of the way people actually behave in the real world.
That said, the Destro/Baroness relationship might be the one that bothers me the least XD
That's another reason why Cover Girl's awesome. There may be some tension with Shipwreck or even Duke, but she's not there to get dates. At least not in Sunbow or marvel.
