DESCRIPTION:
Not your typical supercheesecake idol Tom Knapp She's not a typical superheroine by any stretch. Her powers come from her tight-fitting supersuit, which gives her various abilities and, apparently, works only for her.

She learned the hard way not to wear underwear beneath tight spandex. She's pretty sure her butt's too big. She gets captured a lot, and she's usuall. "Cheesecake with Substance? No really.

Remove all previous notions of superhero entertainment from your puny mind and prepare to be Empowered! * Adam Warren's work on The Dirty Pair is well-known to U.S. Nonetheless, she pluckily braves the ordeals of her bottom-rung superheroic life with the help of her "thugalicious" boyfriend (and former Witless Minion) and her hard-drinking ninja girlfriend, not to mention the supervillainous advice from the caged alien demonlord watching DVDs from atop her coffee table .From Adam Warren-writer/artist of the English-language Dirty Pair comics (the original "Original English-Language Manga" before OEL was cool), and writer of Livewires, Gen13, and Iron Man: Hypervelocity-comes Empowered, a butt-kicking, bootylicious superhero lampoon that raises the bar for long-john lust and low-brow laughs. Worse yet, the suit's unreliable powers are prone to failure, repeatedly leaving her in appallingly distressing situations and giving her a sha
