Grrl Power #891 – Enter the Wench! (Not that way, pervs)
Before anyone asks, “All of whose powers?”, that is the first line on the next page.
My first question is, how did she discover this powerset? Did she get a summer job at a home and garden shop that just happened to be owned by someone who had the super power to till soil with their mind. And was also evil, I guess. She specifically said “supervillains who hire me” so maybe it only works with bad guys? That would be my second question.
Hench Wench is a Patreon cameo character from… actually I didn’t ask if she wants her name here, so uh, stay tuned maybe. Anyway, she didn’t give me any instructions for the cameo beyond the name, so I came up with something that honestly might be a little overpowered, but she seems like she’ll be fun either way.
Max might need to talk to Heatwave about not trying to immolate tangos. Or suspects. I’m not sure what Arc-SWAT calls people actively criming. “Suspect” seems like you’re not sure if they’re guilty. If they’re actively punching your teammates, a more proactive term might be appropriate. “Tango” sounds a little terroristy, but can also mean target, so I guess it’s okay.
Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. Feel free to contribute as much as you like!
SuperheroThey're super, thanks for asking!
Meatspace ComicSeriously these are awesome. Check 'em out!
Not UpdatingNo longer updating or only updates sporadically, but definitely worth reading.
SeriouslySeriously you guys. If you like Grrl Power the check these out.
"Mature"Mature subject matter and occasionally something explicit but usually safe. Can't guarantee the ads are safe though.
Dongs Ahoy!Full frontal and backal. Lots of skin, sex on some or all pages, explicit or otherwise.
How to defeat someone like Hench Wench:
1) Find a super whose superpower is negating other superpowers, like Leech from the Morlocks.
2) Give that superpower-negating super a lot of money.
3) As soon as someone like Hench Wench pops up and becomes a threat, have our Leech buy his way into the LLC.
4) Hench Wench absorbs his superpower-negating superpower, which cancels all of her other superpowers (that she borrowed from the rest of her directors), and suddenly she’s not such a problem anymore.
5) …profit?
Unless she can stack them in which case she now has all their powers plus the power to turn off her opponents powers as well. While some compatibility issues can arise between certain powers, one is generally immune to any negative feedback from their own power, hence no burning, freezing, electrocuting, ect. Yourself. Why power negation isn’t an oxymoron, if they could affect themselves them they would negate their own power negation powers and not be able to negate powers any more. Only ever seen that once and it was someone where it wasn’t automatic and he had to focus, it was one guy from Savage Dragon.
Yes, I reckon we would have to specify — or have specified for our benefit — whether the superpower-negating superpower is constant and uncontrollable (and I believe that’s the case with Leech; his mere presence nullifies mutant powers), or if it’s controllable and can be turned on or off.
(Rogue never took me up on my suggestions, alas. “Rogue! Make friends with Leech! That way, you can have skin-on-skin contact with Gambit or anyone else! That means you can hug Gambit, kiss Gambit…have sex with Gambit…even though Leech must be in proximity to cancel your absorption power…perhaps even in the same bed…okay, okay, bad idea! No go on the coitus! Abort, abort, abort! Sorry, Rogue, but your superpower has doomed you to lifelong virginity. Have fun with that.”)
Why not just have the power negater get close enough (or whatever their is), rather than that complicated crap, that could all come apart as Rhuen described?
What if the power negator doesn’t WANT to get directly involved in a skirmish? Even without his superpowers, Knuckles there looks like he could still put some pretty good welts and bruises on people.
She seems a bit think, I think she’s self defeating
*thick
Enter union rep (some lawyer) “Do you have a state contractor’s license?”, “Was you employment agreement in writing, notarized and filed with the labor board?”, “Do you have professional status certification?” etc.
Power creep much? Which caused the internal logic of the comic to implode.
Actually, this comic is quite a stupid.
You clearly don’t read this comic and are just some random internet troll trying to start something
Spending all your time reading stupid comics is really smart. High IQ play.
I feel bad for heatwave, most of the times I can remember seeing her she’s had a bad day, lol.
What bothers me is there is a panel that shows the hold explicitly having an arm around Heatwave’s neck that makes me thing that yanking her out should pop her head off.
Umm, Henchie initially grabbed Brooke around the neck, but when in the Downward Spiral(TM), she is clearly holding her under the bewbs
Woo, almost sounds like a mosh pit.
Also, i find large threads TL;DR, cause work, life and other things force me to limit time here
:P
And that is NOT the message i was replying to.
Yay cmputers
I foresee aliens being impressed by this performance, followed by Ray Cosmo starting up an impromptu “bookie” business brokering bets (with a tiny split for the house of course) from all comers.
And after that, forming fan clubs and wanting to know when and where the next “Big Event” is scheduled.
