Agent of H.A.T.E.
Monica returned in Warren Ellis’ Nextwave series, which only ran for 12 issues but has become a fan favorite. At least as much of a comedy as it is a superhero story, it sees a much-embittered Monica lead a group of semi-heroes fighting Unusual Weapons of Mass Destruction for the Highest Anti-Terrorism Effort, sponsored by the Beyond Corporation. When Monica and her teammates learned Beyond was secretly a terrorist organization, they battled it instead, fighting some of Marvel’s most ridiculous monsters and villains along the way (e.g., a bunch of MODOKs wearing Elvis costumes). While Nextwave was initially considered as taking place in its own universe, it was later retconned so that the events were memories manufactured by Beyond, and later retconned again, making it not only real but in continuity.
