Let's look at the scorecard at how Marvel treats their red-headed characters:
Jean Grey: killed off so that Marvel can ram Cyclops/White Queen (a blonde) down fans throats
Scarlet Witch: turned into a murdering madwoman who lost her husband and children
Spider-Woman II: Stripped of her name, arrested, and exiled to Canada in order to keep her from upstaging the worthlessly boring and dull as shit Jessica Drew, who's only worthwhile period as a character was when a crazy fundementalist Skrull was impersonating her.
Heather Hudson: Stuck in limbo as far as Marvel not being willing to confirm outright that she's alive or dead after Bendis decided to senselessly kill her off.
Mary Jane Watson: Marriage with Spider-Man invalidated by a vindictive middle-aged asshat who wants to make Spidey single so he can live vicariously via Spidey kissing other women
Medusa and Crystal: Cruystal is back to being a slut again, this time being pimped out by her own sister, Medusa
Rogue: Shot by her mom, infected with a deadly virus and the minds of a million aliens, now in self-imposed exile with her mom's personality inside her head making her feel like shit because she used her powers on her to punish mom for trying to kill a baby as her go-to solution for "saving" her daughter from the above mentioned things. Oh and Gambit joining Apocalypse and briefly becoming Death, at which point he beats Rogue up several times all because he can't handle mom being around and bugging Rogue to date a guy who doesn't even want to date Rogue.
Firestar: Forcibly retired and living in fear of being outed as both a mutant and a former super-hero.
Jean Grey: killed off so that Marvel can ram Cyclops/White Queen (a blonde) down fans throats
Scarlet Witch: turned into a murdering madwoman who lost her husband and children
