1	Julie Ann Carey and Rina Wu are your average, everyday girls, slogging through life at the usual pace; Julie's a bit shy and socially awkward, and easy to harass, while Rina is assertive and confident. One day, they happen to take [[IneptAptitudeTest an aptitude test]] at school, and to everyone's surprise, Julie's test reveals that she would do quite well as a superhero.

3	Enter Momentum, Julie's mentor for the day--a superhero with the power to affect the inertia of moving objects. Despite Julie's misgivings about the line of work she's 'best suited for', Momentum nevertheless advises her to just go on ahead and try her best at whatever she does wind up doing.

5	[[TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive The only problem is that while the superhero/villain universe is leaving her alone (for now), it's dropping harder than usual on her hometown....]]

10	!!This webcomic provides examples of:
11
12	* CoolBigSis: Momentum, on and off the job, is as normal as can be, and pretty relaxed, almost [[BunnyEarsLawyer spacey]], until [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass the situation demands otherwise.]]
13	* DeadpanSnarker: Every character has elements of this, but Rina tends to stand out, since this is her default mode. Not as grouchy as most snarkers, though.
14	* HalfHumanHybrid[=/=]CatGirl: As her name obviously implies, Feline. [[FreakLabAccident Unlike Momentum]], her powers seem to have been given to her on purpose. Then again, [[spoiler:Momentum isn't sure that her own powers ''weren't'' an accident, and that a certain company may have had a hand in her power gain....]]
15	* IJustWantToBeNormal: Regardless of what her test says, Julie is really less than eager about jumping into a world full of heroes and villains. For good reason, of course.
16	* MagicalGirl: On page 15 of issue 8, Angela becomes one, à la ''Franchise/SailorMoon''.
17	* {{Otaku}}: Julie and Rina sort of fit this; their interests span computer games and comicdom, and there are a number of jokes and references to both.
18	* StraightGay: [[spoiler:Aaron, Julie's crush. The worst part is that he tells her this while they're on their ''first date''. Luckily, she's not shaken up by it at all, and is grateful that he took the time to tell her in private instead of embarrassing her by turning her down in front of a host of people.]]
19	* TokenMinority: Surprisingly averted. The cast may not be even steven, but there are more black people around than one might expect to see in any given webcomic.
20	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Julie and Rina, again. [[SarcasmMode Bonus points for guessing who's who.]]
21	* WeirdnessMagnet: Ever since Julie met Momentum, things have begun picking up in Julie's small town. [[spoiler:[[LivingShadow Just ask Nick.]] [[MagicalGirl Or Angela.]]]]
