History Headscratchers / Empowered

** This answer is going to be uncomfortable to read, but... the answer is most likely fertility drugs being used to produce multiple pregnancies. At that point, as long as you're willing to sacrifice some genetic variety, you can have a large number of children at one time.

* Why doesn't Emp wear a bodysuit under her costume? I know she's said she can't wear anything under the suit, but since she did wear panties in one of the earliest strips, it's because any clothing would show and not because it would stop the supersuit working. With a full bodysuit underneath, though, only the seams would be visible and it would probably just look like costume detailing like many post-reboot DC superheroes have on theirs. It would (a) give the poor girl some more modesty when the supersuit inevitably tears, (b) provide a little figure shaping, (c) stop the suit from fritzing out so much since its powers are supposedly linked to her self-esteem due to the first two points, (d) avoid the 'wire-wool' problem and (e) possibly provide some extra protection depending on its material when the supersuit fails.
** She can probably wear SMALL amounts of clothing under the suit (i.e enough for a pantyline gag) but if she tried to wear a full bodysuit she'd definitely short the suit out. It's a living biosuit which enhances her physical abilities, it DEFINITELY requires body contact to work for her.

** Or that Emp hadn't worked out the specifics yet, since it was also early in her career with the Superhomies. Perhaps at some point she decided to go with the embarassment visible underwear instead of the [[IncrediblyLamePun em-bare-ass-ment]] of being naked when her suit gets ripped up, only to find out the hard way that her suit powers isn't compatible with underwear.
** Or on the flipside, why not wear clothing *over* the suit? If the suit gives her powers only when its in contact with her skin, why not wear it as an inner leotard to a far less form-fitting outfit?

** Also his 'super style name' is actually a pet name given to him by Emp. As for why he continues to use it see above.

** It's possible that Kid Anglerfish was perfectly upfront with women about his power, and they agreed to have sex with him ''[[PowerPerversionPotential because]]'' it would appear to be someone else, most likely someone they fantasise about but couldn't actually sleep with. Black capes with FoeYay towards white capes, for example.

** Sadly, the answer is "honor". Remember that Ninjette couldn't have sex with her father's men because they were afraid of what he'd do when -- not if -- he found out. For the prince of a rival clan to have done so would declare that the prince did not fear, and thus respect, her father to that extent. Thus, to maintain his honor and fearsome reputation, he did what he believed was neeed. It's twisted, but it makes sense in its own context.
* Why is he so set on getting Ninjette back to the clan? She doesn't seem to be spilling any clan secrets and she straight up tried to kill him. While Ninjette ''could'' possibly give birth to more BAMF ninjas, she could only conceive and give birth once a year. Her father, however, [[CaptainObvious is a man]] and thus could impregnate several women at once, either naturally or artificially. ''He'' could be increasing the clan's numbers and he could be doing it ''easily.'' In fact, if he did, he'd essentially make 'Jette superfluous, since, by dint of being his daughter, [[BadassFamily at least some of her badassery can be traced to him.

* Even if he IS an abusive asshole, he still has to be the leader of an entire clan. And considering he's (as far as we know) STILL the leader, that usually implies some level of competence at it. It just hasn't been shown why an otherwise competent leader would be so willing to basically drop EVERYTHING to hurt his daughter. Why was he so willing to go to war to against his formerly close allies over a broken marriage contract and 'Jette's virginity? I understand (and HATE) why he might beat the shit out of ''her'' for it but what was he offered that he'd turn that same rage against a largely innocent party? A ninja may need to be ruthless but they're pragmatists too.

** There's also, again, the fact that it would be beaking the rules...and it might be considered a slippery slope. Or, "Rules" violations are something people come down HARD on. That said...yeah. Havoc would let her die. Someone like MAIDMAN, however...(It's actually brought up by Thugboy, in that her 'harmless' reputation HELPS her.)
