You're not always nine feet tall and green, though. Aldrich..." She parted with a sigh and looked up to the middle distance, her tone kept neutral and measured. "I didn't just kill him with some push of a button. I punched straight through the chest piece of one of Tony's suits that was attacking me, then detonated Aldrich by throwing one of its missiles at him and blowing it up. And all I could think to say after was a comment on how violent it was. And I... well, it felt good. Amazing, actually. The anger, and channelling it like that."
