I’m not suprised given how much more people seem to like the character in the show, but the character was pretty much out of shit they did in the comic.

There was like one scene of Invincible and Ray interacting from the comics we didn't get. But I think it was like a joke scene that made Ray look lame so they probably won't include it. Definitely not now that they're taking Rae seriously.

As others have said, I think they're just saving her to be fodder in one of the future death-filled events. And I don't mind it because even if new audiences began to think the show won't kill anyone for real, that might work to it's benefit in shocking them when the big deaths happen and don't get undone, you know?

That’s distinctly possible all though I wouldn’t bet on it, I would think why bother.

Because the death of a character, even one who isn't very fleshed out, who the audience has known all the way since season 1, would help sell the stakes and consequences of the Invincible War (or one of the other bigger events) better than a character introduced in season 2 or later dying, so saving this one for a bigger event than the Lizard League might be the reasoning. Just a guess, though, it totally might not happen and maybe they just wanna keep her around forever. Just spit-balling on what their thinking for the change may be!
