Grrl Power #1274 – Soul X sole
I’m going to pop back and forth between good guys and bad guys in shorter sequences for a bit here, instead of going on 80 page benders. I’ll probably return to that once I hit a good stride with a storyline, but if you’re wanting to see what happens to Sydney after groin recombobulation, you won’t have to wait long.
I haven’t gone into much detail as to what Escorpia, now Sciona’s superpower is. We’ve only seen her use it on the girl at the ¡Arriba Mart! (I’m deciding retroactively that’s what it was called) and it basically turned her into Transcendence el Gato as far as an external observer could tell. But we’ll be seeing a bit more of her abilities in the near future.
The new vote incentive is up!
Oh no! Superheroines in a deathtrap! Well… a tickle trap. Okay, not trapped, trapped, but… look, three of the girls are getting tickled. Actually, in a way, seven girls are getting tickled since the other four Harems will feel this as well, but technically it’s only the three shown in the picture since Harem insists there’s only one of her – it’s just confusing since she can be in 5 places at once.
As you can probably imagine, Patreon shows what happens if they laugh, and also has a comic revealing who is behind this nefarious situation.
Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. Feel free to contribute as much as you like.
This guy toe-tally got a feet-ish.
…
I don’t want to encourage you. There are way too many puns that could be done from this page, and they are all terrible.
I think you mean toe-reible.
If you feel you got to put your foot down please do so.
Ho! The game is a-foot! To-e the chase! Let’s leg it! Let’s commit some serious feets of punning. Let’s really nail those puns. Let’s polish our wit. Let’s toe the the line of what Pander can stand.
Still waiting for someone to put their foot in their mouth. Suppose some tendons do need stretching.
And if you want to send ninjas why not hire the Foot Clan?
Until there’s only a sole survivor left?
It’s going toe take more than that to de-feet me.
You think yourself king of the heel? You think that’ll be your leg-acy?
I see you are still in denail about wordplay.
*long, slow drag off a clove*
Dangit. All of you… I try to get out and you all pull me back in.
Ninja hit squads for all of you
And the first one to make a ‘The Foot Clan’ reference gets a horde of pirates going after you as well.
careful now- always use a non-us VPN when torrentting The Foot Clan.
Too late, some heel already made that one. It was quite corny.
Too late. Sorry if I stepped on some toes.
It was a bit premature.
Should have left that bunion the oven longer before delivering.
*sips cocktail*
Ok that was actually very clever. But since it will encourage Ro and others to do some more awful ones, I’m sending more ninja.
That’s pretty callus of you.
Well puns are her Achilles heel.
That’s gotta be Hellen one’s arches, making it difficult to stay pumped.
Zorri, but I have a geta way plan, specifically tabi able to keep body & sole together.

Is he? Or is toe just only part of body Sciona let him touch?
He was cleary seduced by an archmage.
well played, I’m head over heels over that one, you toetally need your own feeture window. You nailed it. That wasn’t even corny. You’ll be the sole survivor. I’ll support you and give you a leg up.
Google is one of the foremost great companies to work for and they in a few cases contract laborers from distant truant. sp Within the occasion simply have to be work direct with this company and win cash, go to the Google Careers zone and press on the “Work” interface.

OUT, DAMNED BOT!!!
Presumably her sweat contains something more addictive and fast-working than crack cocaine.
Somehow, this feels just as bad as the blood magic.
sounds about right
No you see he is still entirely acting as he normally would here, his ability to make judgements are not at all impaired and this is just a bit of pheromones that will lower his inhibitions.
If Sciona were a billionaire buying legislation that will specifically & explicitly profit her financially, this would be more apt.
its an appropriations bill. if it doesn’t benefit her directly, she’s being paid to push it through. situation normal, nothing to see folks, move along. capitol hill foot clan meets tomorrow.
This is just how politics works on our world, but with money instead of mind control.
Well, actually quite often sex; Look at the Swalwell case. Fang must be hot stuff, given how successful she was at running honeypot operations. Well, she is a bit cute.
Basically at this point, if you’re an even moderately successful politician in the West, and a pretty Chinese girl starts coming onto you, you should conclude she’s a spy. It’s more likely than not.
Just look how fast Giuliani took Borat’s bait.
Money and FEAR!
The saddest thing is that, having seen actual political meetings, if anything this feels a bit toned down compared to some of them.
… Oh, dear.
What happened to the blue skin?
Oh you know; a bit of body snatching here, a bit of body snatching there…
Sciona’s body died on Alar Prime (or whatever their homeworld is caused) when she broke open a spirit battery; her spirit and all the spirits she released returned to Earth through her portal just before it closed. She possessed Escorpia after she was shot in the chest three times.
God I did miss her old body. Dark elves FTW.
All true, but I think Dean’s asking about the Alari-blue skin that replaced the gunshot wounds, as seen in https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-745-como-llego-al-banco-de-sangre/.
The simple answer is makeup.
Another possibility is that Sciona’s essence managed to engender some sort of regeneration of the original tissue in place of the obviously-not-human flesh. Or some sort of bloodmage ability achieved the same effect.
Unlike classical villians, she doesn’t appear to enjoy exerting her powers.
If anything, they’re an annoyance.
I’m sure she will be happy to buy politicians in the old fashioned way once she have gained some more money.
Reminds me of an old web comic where the big bad evil villain was annoyed that the citizens were groveling to him because he didn’t want them to ENJOY groveling, or the lash of the whip.
As he claimed it took all the fun out of being a villain.
From what I remember, Sciona is both speciesist and a user of… basically anyone who isn’t her.
So her point of view, this is probably about the same as someone who doesn’t like dogs letting one lick her, because it keeps the dog friendly.
I remember reading a story about a sadist/masochist relationship (viewpoint sadist), and at one point the character suddenly gets bored because the sadist is the one whose arm is getting tired; the masochist just lies there and takes it.
No idea how accurate that is, but I imagine it comes up sometimes. Certainly if you’re e.g. getting paid to be a dominatrix a session with certain clients is likely to be a lot of work for the money.
Those masos are so selfish. All taking and no giving.
I know, someone should spank them for that.
Swalwell?
Democratic congressman from California. Not really the best example, since he helped the FBI investigate the subject and was never accused of wrongdoing. The GOP House investigated him for two years and found nada.
The typical targets of honeytraps are intelligence operatives rather than politicians.
He helped the FBI investigate her AFTER they told him Fang was a spy. Prior to that there’s no indication he was at all suspicious of her.
… and? Are you trying to indicate he did anything wrong on basis of not personally catching a spy?
Unzipping for a person who turns out to be a spy is clearly wrong.
i mean its not like he knew, and once he learned of that fact he did everything in his power to help the FBI
You stink of desperation with this shit.
What a bizarre moral framework you have, where the ultimate moral judgement of an action can be determined solely by factors you have no way of knowing at the time.
– “The typical targets of honeytraps are intelligence operatives rather than politicians.”
I guess Trump isn’t a typical target? Or isn’t a politician?
And he certainly isn’t an intelligent operator.
Need a dictionary to learn what ‘typical’ means?
Or need someone to walk you through on how it applies in this case?
That’s because it only takes one well-chosen intelligence officer to leak classified information, but it’s rare when you can influence legislation by buying just one vote. Of course she could have several congresspeople in her thrall, and that might be enough to tip the balance.
From what I’ve seen, Sciona’s new power in Scorpia’s body is pretty similar to Bliss from Gen-13.
I’ve got a book recommendation for you, How to Tame Dragons: A Guide to Modern Banking Solutions and Strategic Hoard Management.
Sounds funny. I’ll check it out.
Well this was a very pleasant surprise.
She has the powers of Snowflame? Would be the fourth time I’ve seen the powers and first time it wasn’t literally just Snowflame. Once was… Marvel? I think? Another time a CCG game on Kongregate back in the day and another some original story someone posted on a website I can’t remember.
Snowflame should make a cameo in this comic. He would fit right in.
Who’s the uncomfortable woman in the background in panel 1? I would guess the senator’s wife or mistress. Is she addicted to the pheromones too?
She is probably his personal assistant. How would you feel if you saw your boss getting totally whipped right in front of you? Especially if you percieved him as a source of power and influence.
If I remember correctly she is the sister of the woman Sciona bodysnatched, but as I’m too lazy to actually go back and check, that’s going off of my admittedly quite faulty memory.
Lol. I’m gonna say your memory is very faulty here. Sciona body snatched some woman in Mexico who had pissed off the cartels and was known as Scorpia or something. I don’t think they specifically said anything about her family status but there was definitely no introduction of a sister. And even if there is a sister out there somewhere, I feel that Sciona would have killed/and or body snatched her as well to tie up loose ends. And when I say she would have body snatched any hypothetical sisters, I mean she would have put one of those Alari souls in her.
I don’t think that’s a superpower, she just found your average foot fetishist.
Sounds about right. :)
Okay, I’m just left wondering what exactly Sciona is trying to do here and why she’s bullying politicians to… pass convenient legislation? Is she trying to turn Mexico (?) into a new Alari Empire?
What is truly interesting here is that both Sciona-in-Scorpia’s-body and her former Amazo/Adaptoid-style blood golem evolved into sapience are busy building their own criminal empires at the same time. Coming clash between formerly related supervillains with Archon caught in the crossfire?
Might just be. Though knowing this comic, there are at least 50 pages of preamble and filler before we even start coming to that.
This is most likely her trying to control the funding and legislation around the dungeon farm project to suit her own needs.
did the page numbers go from 1273 to 1247?
At least Sci remembered to wear underwear… this time :P
Ummm… We’ve time-travelled back to page 1247?
Hmm … not sure should I feel sorry for the guy … or should I be jealous ??
I’m so confused right now … =P
And suddenly a bunch of OnlyFans are interested in the comic.
You’re just doing your part to get an entry into WikiFeet, aren’t you Dave?
I love that Sciona is back in the comic. Too damned good of an antagonist to be left on the back burner for so long. I’m kind of hoping that she occupied Escorpa’s body before she was fully deceased and Escorpa’s soul is still in there somewhere. Could make for some interesting head games.
Is no one going to mention how twisted and mangled that foot is? I mean, I’ve seen footwear do some nasty stuff to a foot, but that ankle is broken.
If Sconia has the souls of hundreds (thousands?) of her kind in her, and she previously restored herself using that weird blade, which required 100 sacrifices between uses, how many hundreds of humans will she have to kill to retore the last of her race? That’s the question.
No, she has hundreds of the souls of her people with her, not in her
She hasn’t restored her body this time, she possessed Escorpia’s body, and two of her kind occupied the bodies of the fuckers who killed her
Plus the body of the Congressman that ARCHON and he Council had met with about creating a farmable dungeon in the United States. He’s also an Alari in a human body. :)
Even so, she will want to be an Alari again. So will the others. We’ve seen how, and that blade requires 100 sacrifices to work. Human sacrifices, I’m guessing. Cats won’t do.
well, to be fair there are places where one can collect a couple of thousand souls and few would notice, fewer still would care. I suspect they are after something bigger.
This, plus Sciorpia is still in the rebuilding phase of her power base and would probably be shy of attracting excessive attention to her doings, even if she goes collecting souls from people that would not be missed so much. Last time, she was able to endure being in a male orc body for years, even if she didn’t like it. Even if she is specieist and vain, Scorpia’s body is likely much more acceptable to her standards (super, mental manipulation powers, female, attractive, good boobs) than that.
More importantly, as far as we know, she currently has no control of the blade. Deus has, and last time the story checked, he was busy by proxy in the not-so-fast process of recharging the blade by only using the souls of war criminals and the like. I guess that Sciona would not be so keen on attracting unnecessary attention to her operation yet by contacting Deus for a deal and going on a mass-murdering rampage by using the blade to turn herself and dozens of Alari back into their original (enhanced) bodies. This assuming he would agree to lend her the blade in the first place.
Not to mention that at this stage of her master plan, her plans are likely better served if herself and her Alari crew keep super/human bodies for infiltration purposes. Ofc, Deus being Deus, chances are he already guessed Sciorpia and the golem’s existence and activities to some extent simply by analyzing the news. But what he is going to do with such info is anyone’s guess.
Correction to my previous statement: Deus already met Sciona in Scorpia’s body and busy infiltrating the US government during the dungeon farming talks, recognized her, and apparently chose a ‘wait and see’ stance.
Dang it, I missed that that was Sciona/Scorpia (didn’t read the under comic commentary that literally told us it was her, and she wasn’t in the who’s who to the side), now I need to go back and reread the dungeon bits to see if I missed any under currents.
I thought the Deus thing was just him noting there were Alari infiltrating the government.
Situation was not 100% clear but imo it is heavily hinted that he ackowledged it was an Alari in a human body, it was Sciona, and she was busy infiltrating US government. His super-intelligence all but surely includes a version of Sherlock Scan, he has been intimately familiar with Sciona (and he already knew enough about her to fill a full entry in his record of sexual conquests), and he has spent a lot of time recently hanging out with Alari.
“Is no one going to mention how twisted and mangled that foot is?”
Anatomically accurate comic book feet can be hard to draw. Just ask Rob Liefeld. Or so goes the internet meme :)
This is true.
Besides, I don’t think it’s all that mangled.
A little wonky perhaps, which is easily explained by the difficulty of drawing feet well. I also think it’s being viewed at a slight side angle, which might have an effect on perception.
It’s not as though the toes are pointing in vastly different directions. They’ve just been squeezed somewhat by her choice of footwear.
I had thought her ability was similar to Newter’s from Worm, but this looks to be a lot more potent. Then again, Newter’s fluids (sweat, blood, saliva, etc) were stated to be 100% safe (he once tried to kill somebody with an overdose but couldn’t) and completely non-addictive (chemically, anyway; humans can get psychologically addicted to just about anything), so maybe hers just lacks those safeguards.
Well that explains why Boris Johnson just looks like that.
I guess he failed to toe the line?
Oh stoppit now. Bad Random Guy. BAD!
Don’t look now, Sciona, but you forgot to undo one of your buttons. Just the one; you got all the rest.
… wtf Dave, I recommended this comic to my friends. great, now *I’ll* be the weirdo friend into weird stuff. lol
Oh… no… That’s Sciona… that’s a bad thing… I mean she looks fantastic compared to the last time we saw her… Right?? She’s the one that got effed up pretty bad right?
that prominent scar from the shots to the heart seems to have cleared up.
Advanced blood magic should be amazingly good for healing tasks.
The last time? Wasn’t that in the dungeon project?

Testing…
test failed.
Escorpia certainly has not skipped leg day.
If her hands induce euphoria, I wonder what her feet do… maybe different body parts secrete different drugs?
Sciona tries hard to fulfil the supervillainess clichè list, but apparently being able to enjoy going Domme on minions is an exception. Or perhaps she is too much of a specieist to appreciate that kind of interaction with lowly human worms. Although we know that prejudice has limits, since she is able to work in a super body for prolonged periods and greatly enjoy getting intimate with a super sex god.
Some villians enjoy the obesience and for others it is just a side effet of Getting Things Done.
You may have a point, although we have seen Sciona getting enthused at the notion of the Alari (led by her) conquering Earth. Perhaps she is the kind of villain that enjoys the ideal and sheer act of conquest, but the actual responsibilities of ruling the conquered, not so much.
There are two types of people in this world. People who try to hide their fetishes, and people who do not. I am glad to be in the second category with you, Dave.
I’m not so sure this is DAVE’s fetish. He’s shown some of those, but I don’t think this one of them, just the CHARACTER’s one. Sciona would probably see it as less demeaning, and the various succubi would have done it at some point if it was something the artist was personally interested in to any great degree. That’s my impression at least.
I am not into feet. I mean, as a tickle target, okay, but the only other acceptable uses for feet are walking and kicking.
That sounds like something a person into feet would say in order to trick people into thinking they’re not into feet.
