Grrl Power VI: Stripping The Hero Doesnt Work

[Sean Mirrsen]

New page. Resolved in about the way that was expected.

Honestly, with the benefit of hindsight and the extended explanation from this and the previous page(s), I think I like the concept for Hench Wench's abilities.

She's a super that's also part devil. Her power, which is to copy other superpowers, works only as long as the side providing her said powers has entered into a binding, mutually-signed contract with her. It's a pretty neat take on the concept, and the universe already has demi-supers whose powers only manifest in the paranatural form (i.e. Pixel). Her power is ridiculously broken, but has a massive and obvious (once you know it's there) flaw in that it relies on human-mediated contracts that can be overruled by a third party.

A flaw that the heroes in this case would not have been able to exploit, had she not been such a blabbermouth about the nature of her powers. :P
