There isn’t a trap capable of holding Scott Free for long, as the master escape artist has even managed to work his way out of death and resist the irresistible Anti-Life Equation,a feat that only a handful of mortals have mastered.

Visually, Ghost In The Shell made Major look like she was ripped straight from the manga pages or stills from the landmark anime movie. Whether it was an iconic silicone skin-suit or more urban clothing, Ghost In The Shell was stylish. Just like this one-sixth scale of a more combat-ready Major, from ThreeZero.

The former boy wonder is going to be going off the rails slightly in Nightwing: New Order. Metahumans are a tad too prevalent in the DCU, and somebody has to level the playing field for ordinary humans who happen to have been trained to peak physical perfection by the world’s greatest detective.
