This is so common and every time writers do it, I cringe:
Suddenly having a heroic character do a left turn and be all about retiring, leading a normal life, and having babies.
I thought it only annoyed me with female characters, but they're now doing it with Vibe...and I discovered it's just as irritating when the character is male.
Now, if this has been their goal all along, that's a different thing. Or if it's "I want babies, but I'm not going to give up doing what I do." (Alex Danvers comes to mind).
But when it comes out of the blue as a sudden change I want to go "Uh, guys."
It's just a peeve of mine and I had forgotten how annoyed I was by it.
