With love, comes vulnerability. She needs to be kidnapped by the villain, in order to motivate Superman to come to her rescue and right all wrongs. Why is that? It seems to me that couching one's response to a book in relief that specifics can be transcended in favor of only the universal might create more problems than are solved. Dagger Type's self-definition is unclear, though the character conforms to terrible transphobic stereotypes, something the creative team has apologized for.
