* SpeaksFluentAnimal: As indicated by his name, he speaks to chipmunks.

to:

* EmbarrassingSuperpower: At first, Tomas was embarrassed about being an AnimalThemedSuperbeing with chipmunk powers, and tried just using his enhanced strength and reflexes as a generic hero named Handsome Puncher. Seeing Squirrel Girl in action inspired him to embrace his chipmunk side.
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: As indicated by his name, he speaks to chipmunks. Doreen also teaches him how to talk to squirrels.


Added DiffLines:

In her first appearance, she took down ComicBook/DoctorDoom without the help of a nearby ComicBook/IronMan, who refused her request to become his new sidekick earlier that day. Since the art and plot had a [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] touch that did not take itself seriously--and because the story was published in UsefulNotes/{{the Dark Age|of Comic Books}} that marked TheNineties--Doreen's debut was essentially a comedic one-off that attracted little attention.\\\

Despite the silly name, Squirrel Girl is one of the most canonically powerful superheroes in the entire Franchise/MarvelUniverse. According to [[WordOfGod her official Marvel powergrid]], ''all'' of Doreen's stats are through the roof, putting her at the same level as ''[[GuardianOfTheMultiverse the Living]] [[PhysicalGod Tribunal]]''. Stats aside, her powers include [[FlyingBrick enhanced strength, speed, reflexes, agility,]] and [[InASingleBound leaping ability "proportionate to that of a squirrel"]]. She has also small, sharp claws rather than fingernails and retractable knuckle spikes--both principally used for climbing. She can speak with squirrels, who tend to do her bidding because of how well she treats them. Oh, and she has a semi-prehensile squirrel tail and her lips taste like hazelnuts.\\\pp

* TimeTravel: Doreen once tried to travel into the past so she could stop ComicBook/CivilWar from happening (and thus stop Speedball from becoming Penance). Somehow, she traveled into the future. This bit doubles as [[MythologyGag a very sly reference]]: When Squirrel Girl tries to travel to the past, she sets the time machine to take her to "Speedball's second to last coordinates" (i.e., the last time Speedball was Speedball prior to the events of Civil War). Prior to Civil War, Speedball's last appearance in a Marvel comic ''was in a comic set in the year 2099''.

Squirrel Girl was specially written as a response to the DarkerAndEdgier comics of the '90s. She basically serves as a litmus test for those who take comics too seriously, specifically those who think darker and edgier is automatically better. If you're the kind of fan who gets upset when a happy-go-lucky girl with the powers of a squirrel defeats god-level threats, you're exactly the kind of fan Squirrel Girl was written to upset.\\\
