I kind of liked the 'last drop'. It reminded me of Maxwell House coffee!
I noticed the space rats, too. Reminded me of Lois childishly saying, "Mine! You can't have it! It's mine!" or something like that.
Ohh... ok... I'll try to explain I meant... I'm not sure competitive is right for it.
Metaphorically I see her like a boxer, you know, with her gloves on and ready to fight - and she's not going to give up. She's fighting to save Superman, litterally.
What would be a better word, you think?
Hmmm.... Yes, I know what you are trying to say, but the word isn't coming to me right now. Let me think about it. The good old thesaurus didn't help, either.
