Ink Pen by Phil Dunlap for July 28, 2010

Aren’t all screams sonic? Mine seem to be.

The Cap seems to incite violence to his person wherever he goes; that his special power, tactlessness.

Yay, for her! You go, girl!

Now thats Amazing….

Ahhh, Girl Powers, a/k/a Frown and Point. Stand on the sidelines, strike a pose, and think real hard. The best/worst of the class I can remember belonged to the Scarlet Witch, with her Mutant Hex; altering probability so that random bad things happen… Truly dopey and incomprehensible, but it didn’t muss her hair.

The Capt and me share a lot of power. Smooth, suave, the ability to be removed quickly from bar stools by other’s hands. Oh, add in idleness and disrespect.

She’s a bit bashful today, isn’ t she?

The power to turn sound into sparkly lights. (While roller-skating!)

The power to command plants.

The power to see 10 seconds into the future.

The power to learn any language by seeing three words. (Wait, that was a guy…)

And if being a telepath is girly, being an empath is even worse.

On the other hand, Ms. Amazement amply demonstrates the “Most Common Super[girl]power”: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MostCommonSuperPower

I always questioned John Byrne’s conviction that the Vision didn’t have some sort of reproductive capacity. He’s not just an android, he’s a synthezoid, with synthetic analogs to organic human anatomy. He’s “basically human”, in the words of the classic “Even an Android Can Cry.” In an old (prose) short story by Jim Shooter, he made it fairly clear that Wanda and Vision had a sex life.

Failing that, Wanda’s probability-manipulation could have given her a pregnancy by parthenogenesis, but a homozygotic child using only her own DNA ought to be have been female…

Of course, this was 20 years’ worth of continuity ago, so I’m not up on how they’re dealing with all that nowadays…
