Oh I remember the first character, people made so many excuses as to why getting powers didn't heal her condition, it was hilarious watching them go "well she can still use her legs just not for long" as if that means she should always be in a wheelchair outside of fights.
For the second character, the Sentry can fly so there's no reason for her to be in a wheelchair at all while in costume lol.
It's just dumb from an audience perspective, they always look ridiculous whenever you see that they probably could get away with being normal. At least with Barbara Gordon, she just transitioned to a support role and kept fighting crime that way (albeit now she's walking in current canon, forgot what happened there). Sure, the disability forced her to use a wheelchair, but at least back then the writers didn't make excuses, though some writers experimented with her being able to walk again while still using a wheelchair outside of combat. So even if you were disabled, you could still think "she's disabled/was disabled but she's still doing good even if she's not out there on the streets." And even now she's still in her support role (so the disability actually had an impact) despite being able to walk, she just also does the usual crimefighting.
The trope of "we need to inspire disabled people, so let's show disabled superheroes with powers/tech that completely nullify the disability while still showing that they're disabled" always makes me laugh.
