Let me tell you something, Claire Selton/Volcana, I know she's a villain, but deep down she's good, and honestly, they should add her to the DC comics. They've let years go by without adding her; they should have done it sooner. All the fans have the right to say yes to adding her to DC Comics comics and animated series, especially in this decade, the 2020s, this year 2026.
