''The Adventures of Gyno-Star'' is a superhero parody webcomic featuring a feminist protagonist whose tagline is "Fighting the forces of evil and male chauvinism." Gyno-Star boasts super-strength, a [[http://www.gynostar.com/archives/212/ "Gyno sense"]] which alerts her when women are being discriminated against, and the [[http://www.gynostar.com/archives/90/ power to make men feel the pain of childbirth]].

->''"I started out Wonderella to make an off-the-clock superhero who was an average woman instead of some 24/7 warrior... though somewhere along the line, 'average woman' became a cross between [[{{Seinfeld}} Elaine Benes]] and Zelda Fitzgerald."''
-->-- '''Justin Pierce'''

''The Non-Adventures of Wonderella'' is a parody of the DCComics character WonderWoman, and many superhero tropes in general. It focuses mainly on the mundane parts of the life of Wonderella, a somewhat air-headed and lazy Valley Girl-ish superheroine who demonstrates [[PunchClockHero little interest in being a hero]]... or, in fact, doing anything much outside of partying, getting completely wasted, violence, and shopping. She is super-strong, super-durable, and she can't fly but she can "totally jump hella high", and [[FlightStrengthHeart when tied up she can hork up a giant octopus]], [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/06/28/balance-of-flower/ tell plants to die]], or [[http://nonadventures.com/2008/04/26/power-couple/ curl up in a perfect ball when traumatized]]. Also has a rarely used invisible blimp.

BetterThanItSounds, honest!

Seems it requires lots of dedication and the unspoken agreement to limit torture and captivity to a single heroine (or her plucky sidekick). The heroine, by herself, is bound to listen her nemesis' villanious rants and, after beating her nemesis, stay there until the police comes. Connect some dots...

* FridgeBrilliance: In Dr. Shark's first appearance, he tells us that he was trying to use shark stem cells to cure cancer. The brilliance comes in when you remember that sharks are known for their excellent immune systems and are one of the few species that are known not to get cancer. So using shark stem cells might not be so random.
