Farewell, O Wretched Banana Peel of DOOM!

Marvel.com has perview pages of New Warriors #9 here, featuring Jubilee's Infinitely Superior new costume. And other, unimportant stuff. Medina's 2 issue break seems to have improved the art a lot, too. That and the coloring. Except now Jubilee almost looks as tall or taller than Jono. Instead of being a foot shorter like she's supposed to be...
Meanwhile, one must ponder how on Earth they ever got her to wear that ugly banana peel, anyway. I figure it was the abandoment/getting skewered stress: "Oh, you lost your powers and your surrogate family basically kicked you out. Then you got kidnapped by a random enemy of your surrogate father's and got a pole through the gut. Granted, no one really knows how you survived that or what happened to you after that, what with Wolverine surrendering to S.H.IE.L.D. to save you and then the writer forgetting you were there after. Anyway, tell you what, we'll give you powers and a team, but in return, you have to wear a banana peel."
But now she is over the stress and has burned the ugly banana peel and gotten herself a decent costume and threatened to use the gauntlets on anyone who tried to confiscate them.
Plus, Jono is there now to beat up anyone who tries anything.
Now to ponder the mystery of why Jono now has butterfly wings made of solid sound...
(seriously, Jono, butterfly wings?)
