panel from Ninja-K #4 showing Ninja-G, a black woman with an afro fighting a blonde Russian woman using electricity nunchucks. The narration goes: I let myself think I was too good for them to push around. That I was the only one who could counter Russia's top agent, Devotchka. That's what they called her - The Girl. I'd thought a Socialist nation whose women had fought the Nazis would be less sexist. Of course, I was wrong, we were their best agents and we were oddities for it. Like two sides of the same coin."

   I'm reading the Valiant retool of Ninjak from 2017 where they changed his name from the cringey 90s "Ninjak" to Ninja-K and made up all the other MI6 Ninjas that have alphabet letters.

   Ninja-G is a black woman, the first black person and woman in the ninja program. She fought the top agent for the USSR who is also a woman and they both faced similar struggles against sexism.

   She falls in love with a man in MI6 and planned to retire and marry him, but MI6 had him killed & framed the Soviet agent for it in order to keep Ninja-G in the program and wanting revenge.

   But Ninja-G figures out what happened when she and the Russian agent fight, and then they escape together and she fakes her death, and then they become a happy lesbian couple.

   This rules
