Check this out: A Wauwatosa Police spokesperson claims the 17-year-old initiated the fighting with the officer after refusing to speak with him, according to a statement reported byCBS 58 El, of course, has her supernatural powers, a fighter’s instinct, as well as the courage to mentally and physically sacrifice herself for her friends. And as a girl without supernatural powers, Max possesses a different kind of strength — cleverness and street smarts that El, who spent most of her childhood locked up in a lab, does not have. Apparently, I was not alone in my desire to see Max and Eleven maximize their girl power by teaming up.
