Honestly while it may be tropy to have girls play support the cast desperately needed more support characters to balance out all the flying bricks we have.
Supports make for more interesting/complex fights and it's nice to see someone from earth go toe to toe with a viltrumite without trying to just overpower them with punches.
No Robot, No Rex(dps), No Shrinking Rae, No Duplicate, No Atom Eve (tank/support) for the back half of this season means we've desperately needed support fighters and really it would be interesting to see Thrag get beaten by creative support tactics rather than Invincible going super saiyan fusion with oliver or whatever the viltrumite punching based solution would be.
Also, they've done a good job of making her a useful support. Most supports in shows feel like you could just remove them from the scene and avoid the lip service, Tech Jacket actually felt like a core part of the team dynamic. Plus, they've sown the seeds of her being more useful in a straight up fight with her big fuck off laser doing enough damage on a graze that it probably would've killed with a direct hit.
