* Where do the black capes get all these henchmen, given the likelihood of mental instability in such an employer? You must be pretty desperate to not only turn ti crime to support your wife &a child, but to do it under the leadership of some caped maniac.

* Look, Captain Katanna was able to control a bunch of katannas-for-limbs because he had a magical katanna stuck in his head, lacking functional arms or legs yet still being able to fight at a superhuman level until he was vaporized. We know that the surviving katanna ninjette got was somehow able to survive Willy Pete. Usually supers get their powers from one extraordinary thing, so it seems more likely that he got his powers from one magic katana stuck in his head that empowered any other katanas he had on him, rather than having a collection of magic katannas.
Ninjette's clan want to cut her hands and feet off in order to prevent her from running away as they use her for her womb -which would put her in a pretty similar physical state to Captain Katana.Supposedly something horrible happens to Ninjette in the future, as seen by hospital-future-EMP's shocked and teary reaction to seeing Ninjette alive and well. This gives something horrible to happen to her which doesn't eliminate her as a character, and may actually make her more prominent in super-fights.

\n[[WMG: The Caged Demonwolf is not "caged" at all]]
* The Caged Demonwolf is just pretending to be trapped in the alien bondage gear, so he can observe some filthy monkey coupling from a close distance without freaking out said monkeys. He let himself be "caught" despite knowing past, present and future with absolute clarity, so Emp aproaching him from behind to trap him into alien bondage gear couldn't possibly have been a surprise to him. Then he catches some vacation time before going back to planet-raping.

[[WMG: The suit is a [[SpiderMan symbiote]]]]
I haven't read far enough in the series to see if it's explained how/where Emp got the suit (until vol. 5 included, it isn't), but it does seem to have rather a resemblance to SpiderMan / Venom's suit and indeed, it is sentient. My theory is that while the Venom costume is powered by adrenaline, Emp's is powered by endorphins, which explains why it works better when she's happy (and why she doesn't need to eat people). While of course it's not as crazy/evil as the Marvel versions tend to be, it did kill that Ninja clan in a pretty brutal manner. As far as why she is able to remove the suit, my theory is that she really isn't. The suit is on some level in her bloodstream, and that's why it regenerates no matter how damaged it seems to be.

* In one of the earlier volumes, that fat guy who kidnapped Emp so he could wear her suit had an INT 19 (Supra-Genius) shirt. (Emp even ended up wearing it). An old team mate of ThugBoy's perhaps?

to:

* If one was missing it was probably WIS, given [=ThugBoy's=] FatalFlaw



While the "zombie voice" probably ''is'' poking at Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy, [=Maidman=] may still be a case of [[DemonicPossession possession]].
* This is part of why he's so friendly with EMP, as teased in his interview (his "we hot blondes have to stick together" answer being an obvious deflection). The maid costume itself is the host of a possessing spirit, and it recognizes a similar existence in EMP's suit, the difference being that [=Maidman=] just directly control's the person wearing the costume, where EMP's suit deliberately takes a back seat and lets Elissa do the crime fighting herself.



*** Sorta confirmed, sorta jossed. The Infernal Services Provider [[spoiler:was lying about almost everything, since everything from giving Spooky "too much power" to apparently manipulating Mindf**k's death was all one big plan to get himself out of hell. It was all a trap for Spooky. But tragically, it turns out that Mindf**k IS in hell- and Spooky and Emp don't see her while they're on their way out, so she'll probably stay there. '''Forever.''']]

* Really? I always assumed [=MaidMan's=] "zombie voice" (and the discussion he has with one of the superdead about it) was just supposed to be a gentle poke at Christian Bale's [[Film/TheDarkKnightSaga excessively gravelly]] take on Batman.

\n[[WMG: Emp will go through an ExpositoryHairstyleChange]]
* Emp might try to prevent the incident in Internal Medicine where Emp sees a future version of herself crying for Ninjette. The easiest way to change this scenario and still be able to be a superhero is to change her hairstyle. Adam will want to keep the GodivaHair to keep it PG when she gets naked and he hinted that he prefers drawing light hair to dark hair. (Takes less time.) She might dye her hair a light shade of red that's only noticeable on the cover or colorized specials or dye a streak of splashy color.

\n[[WMG: Everyone's going to need some deep therapy soon. ThereAreNoTherapists will be averted.]]
* Thought Thugboy's PTSD was bad before? It's even worse now. Ninjette and Emp both have Daddy issues for different reasons. Now that Emp is a full time Superhomey, she'll find that psychological counseling is now among her medical benefits. She, Thugboy and Ninjette will all take their turns on the couch. The therapist will be a super him/herself with a very odd appearance. Demonwolf might even get a chance to lie on the couch and rant with alliteration while the therapist takes notes.

* We don't ''know'' that Wet Blanket's dead. If he's alive, and can be maneuvered in close enough to Willy Pete (with or without WP being aware of his presence) he might be able to dampen Willy Pete's fire long enough for the other capes to finish him off.

to:

*Earlier in that volume Sistah Spooky casts a divination to find the location of Willy Pete. She gets an unusually specific answer with GPS coordinates and exact time. She even remarks how unusually precise the prediction is. Then it turns out the time is off by 10 minutes and Willy Pete nukes the hero party. Maybe the Infernal Service Provider tampered with that divination to put the heroes in the precise time and place, so they could be ambushed and so Willy Pete incinerate the d10 station through the Lotus Node and thus kill Mind****, just to give Infernal Service Provider leverage over Sistah Spooky. Who knows how those divinations work or where the information comes from? Infernal Service Provider is the logical guess.
