History YMMV / GrrlPower

** He won't be making groups of characters (such as Aborigines, Eskimos, Taoists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Scientologists, etc) due to the fact that he doesn't know enough about them to write them in an intelligent manner (so if they do appear, it will probably be just one or two from each group, and it will be after he does some research about them) and also because he realises any religious group would probably have extreme members who attributed their powers to {{God}} and know that wouldn't necessarily make them behave saintly (it comes down to their personal values). Though has confirmed that a fair number of non-white supers will show up in a future storyline.

** The Angels in the story either inspired the Biblical Angels or were just fine with posing as them. Though considering that they have [[https://gotquestions.org/Bible-halos.html Halos]] and the way [[http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1200000277 Biblical]] [[http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/b/r1/lp-e/nwt/E/2013/26/10#h=64:0-72:0&study=discover Angels]] [[http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1200000945 are]] [[http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1200003905 described]], it is most DEFINITLY the latter.

*** He thought that having Varia claim to be a Aztec, who are arguably underrepresented, was amusing

* {{Squick}}: Steak knife. Kicked into someone's mouth. And lodges between their teeth and in their gums. Aaaaaaaauuuuuuuugh.

* MagnificentBitch: By the time of the press conference, Ariana has confirmed for us all that yes, she is this.
* MarySue[=/=]MartyStu: Some readers claim to detect these twin tropes in characters such as Halo (comics fan, cute, smart, very powerful) or Math (character profile says that "''His reflexes, speed, attack and defensive abilities exceed many members of the team that actually have powers in those categories, making him one of the more dangerous members on the team, despite him not technically actually having any powers''", and he also checks out on being all about action when he is not lusting after women). However, this is highly debatable and disputed in all cases; these characters have clear flaws, frequently make fools of themselves, and aren't automatically loved or respected by the people around them. Your mileage may very definitely vary.
** Dabbler, meanwhile, IS loved (or lusted after) by everyone she encounters, is a ridiculous hybrid of demon and alien in a cast of humans, is officially stated to be '[[JackOfAllTrades kind of good at everything]]', existed before the comic and was shopped around to other works by the author, is the host of the setting extra strips, has virtually no reason to be in the plot, is the only one who avoided getting bugged by Halo in the 'meet the supers' segment, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking is purple with stripes]], and is so over the top in fitting every single characteristic of the Mary Sue that she'd come across as a parody if there was any self-awareness involved whatsoever.
** VillainSue: Vehemence has drawn a few accusations of this, as a result of [[spoiler: his ability to draw power from violence.]]

** Maxima gets pretty scary towards the end of the press conference, especially towards the pink haired reporter who is really only doing her job. Particularly when said reporter asks why Maxima went full power for the demonstration, prompting Maxima [[FalseReassurance to laugh at the notion that she'd gone full power there.]]

* FridgeBrilliance: A number of readers were bothered by the fact that Maxima, a stickler for the rules, [[JugglingLoadedGuns pointed a gun at Sydney]] [[http://grrlpowercomic.com/archives/1758 to prove a point]]. The author later [[http://grrlpowercomic.com/archives/1776 reminded readers about why she's an exception to that rule]].
* FridgeHorror: Focuses a lot on what might happen if a real-life superhero fought in a crowded area the way they do in the world of comics, such as when a villain dodges an energy blast or someone is thrown into a wall. See Deconstuctor Fleet on the main page for more.
* FridgeLogic: If Achilles is invulnerable to the effects of time, shouldn't he be a child super? Unless PubertySuperpower is in play.

* ArcFatigue: More than a few people have complained about the length of the fight with Vehemence, a fact exacerbated by some pacing issues and a twice-a-week update schedule

* {{Spoiler}}: The cast page originally showed two extra powers of Sydney's, but these were changed to "two she doesn't know about" to preserve a plot point. Later, superpower details were removed entirely.

* MagnificentBitch: By the time of the press conference, Ariana has confirmed for us all that yes, she is this.

* SmugSuper: Maxima takes her sweet time stopping a bank robbery despite having enough speed to catch bullets. When one of the civilians she rescued protests her behavior Maxima brushes him off ("You were never in any danger"), finally cracking her knuckles to scare him away. Sure, the hostages were safe [[spoiler: especially since the "bank robbers" were agents of ARC carrying out a publicity stunt on PR manager Arianna's orders]], but they must have also been ''stressed and terrified'', seeing as how they were at the mercy of men with guns for several minutes.
