Ok, maybe not. :tlol:
But she's definitely the most interesting original character in the IDW-Universe.
First. She has a mysterious and tragic origin.
Who is she? What was her first name? How did she get to the EPF? How does she know Bishop's father? Why did she consent to participate in that experiment? We do not know anything about her early life.
Also, we know very little about the experiment, which turned her into a mutant. But for Ravenwood it was, obviously, a physical and psychological trauma. Just imagine - a young pretty girl turns into a strange awful creature with 5 heads and bodies consisting of ribbons of flesh. And it happened in the 50's. I'm sure she was locked in the laboratory for several decades before she was allowed to go out into the street, and then again become an agent.
Second. Her mutation is very, very, very strange.
Ribbons of flesh and heads. It's all. Where are the lungs? Where is the stomach? How this mutant can live? A Mutagen Man is also strange, but he has all the internal organs.
The Ravenwood's mutation reminded me Mantis from Avengers: Infinity War. Perhaps this is not just a genetic mutation? Perhaps this is a change in the space-time field?

Third. Ravenwood has a lot of unusual super powers.
1. Very strong.
2. Elastic.
3. Feels mutants and (possibly) people.
4. Venom.
5. Immortality or regeneration.
Perhaps this is not all.
Fourth. This is a very strong character.
As I said, she suffered a very serious injury. But it did not break her. And it did not turn her on evil. On the contrary, she has adopted a new self and she is trying to use her new powers for good. Her unique position between people and mutants, as well as working for EPF, potentially makes her a very important character.
And the fifth. Ravenwood broke all stereotypes about such characters.
1st issue. “Oh, look, woman Hulk is hunting for Bebop and Rocksteady. It will be fun. A stupid, big & strong woman against stupid, big & strong mutants”. But Ravenwood opens her mouth. Wait, what? She's not stupid. She's smart. Hmm, already interesting. Oh, and she's also loyal to the mutants. Very, very interesting.
2nd issue. “Well, now we will see how she strong”. Wait, what? Elasticity? But how? We waited another power...
3rd issue. Elasticity, superpower, and feels mutants. “Ok, maybe Weaver tricked us. Maybe she will take the side of Bebop and Rocksteady and allow them to escape?” Wait, what? No, she understands that they are villains and she ready to stop them.
In each issues, we learn a small piece of information about Ravenwood and every new piece makes her an increasingly interesting character.
