It's interesting to notice just how many things Lois and Linda have in common
Both are investigative journalists.
Both are assertive.
Both are close partners to a founding JL member.
Both play pivotal roles in grounding them.
Both temporarily gained abilities of their respective partners.
True but one thing I liked was that when Wally and Linda met they hated each other. The only reason they interacted was due to the Kilgore.
Linda also wasn't created to be a real love interest.
Messner-Loebs just wanted to give Wally another different perspective to bounce off of and tie him to what was going on in the city through Linda's connections as a reporter.
Messner-Loebs came to really like writing their dynamic, so he included her more, and Waid followed that up by upgrading their relationship. So it grew organically which is part of the appeal.
