3	''[[http://m9girls.com/webcomic/en/about/ M9 Girls!]]'' is a webcomic by Rulopótamo, first drawn by Kanela and later by Shadow (formerly known as Séreméla).
4
5	The M9 Girls are Any, Pato, Claudia, and Karla. They are a team of college researchers who gain the ability to tap into the primordial power of the universe and become endowed with superpowers as a result. Their first story arc is the [[SuperHeroOrigin origin story]], with the girls discovering the implications of their transformation. Their second story arc shows them as a budding super-heroine team.
6
7	Although the girls dress up in attires closer to MagicalGirl looks, their story is more of a SuperHero one, with MadScience overtones. The comic has been updating since 2011, and the first arc was completed in April of 2019. A second story arc started after a 1 year hiatus, featuring shorter chapters and a more episodic nature.

9	!This comic provides examples of:
10	* AfraidOfNeedles: Pato apparently hates getting shots.
11	* AgeGapRomance: Any develops a crush with the Professor very early in the history. [[spoiler: The feelings are mutual.]]
12	* {{Animesque}}: Both the story and the art are Manga-influenced.
13	* ArtEvolution: Shadow is the artist as of Chapter 5.
14	* ArtShift: Artist Kanela was fond of using [[SuperDeformed chibi]] versions of the characters for reaction panels, in contrast to her more realistic manga style. Artist Shadow goes back and fort between a semi-realistic approach and a classic manga look.
15	* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn:
16	** Karlita/Pink Starlight - Beauty. She is the ValleyGirl and TheFashionista of the group, though she is also a closeted bookworm.
17	** Any/Blue Destiny - Brains. She is a bookworm, the [[TeamMom leader]] of the group, and the most dedicated to science in the team.
18	** Pato/Purple Space - Brawn. The DeadPanSnarker, she can transform into the material she touches. She usually prefers transforming into metal.
19	* BodyHorror: The cyborgs look like a cross between robots, zombies, and torture victims.
20	* BlatantLies: Vero's excuses when she's caught sneaking into the lab are...less than convincing.
21	* BrokenPedestal: All of the girls are pretty disillusioned by [[spoiler: the Prof]] at this point, though the revelation hits a particular emotional nerve for Any, considering her obvious admiration of him early on.
22	* CheekyMouth: Frequently.
23	* ColorCharacter: All the M9 Girls hero names.
24	* CrossOver: Several, particularly members of Website/WebcomicUnderdogs. To date the girls have met Webcomic/TheDemonArchives, Webcomic/PrincessChroma, Webcomic/RubyNation, Webcomic/{{Cesium}} and Webcomic/GroovyKinda among others.
25	** The Groovy, Kinda crossover has lasting effects in both comics, with one supporting character of Groovy moving permanently to the M9 universe. The authors claim this has not been attempted before.
26	* CrucifiedHeroShot: When Any is given her second dose of radiation, the platform she’s on strongly resembles a cross.
27	* CurseCutShort: Pato, when she realizes she possesses absorbent powers.
28	* DramaticIrony: Vero is laughed at for thinking the lab is involved in some kind of conspiracy. [[spoiler: And it is.]]
29	* ElementalPowers: The abilities that the M9 Girls possess seem to be connected to the universe's primordial forces. Any controls time, Pato controls matter, Clau controls energy and Karla controls light. [[spoiler: Vero could be considered chaos.]]
30	* TheEmpath: Any's other main power. She can sense other people's main feelings and can delve further into them by concentrating, which causes discomfort in the subject.
31	* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles: Karla can produce colorful sparkles.
32	* FormFittingWardrobe: Blame Karla.
33	* FourGirlEnsemble: Obviously. Any is the quiet one and TeamMom, Pato is the DeadpanSnarker, Clau is the GenkiGirl and Karla is the sexy and [[ObfuscatingStupidity not so dumb]] one.
34	* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Any is melancholic, Pato is phlegmatic, Clau is sanguine, and Karla is choleric.
35	* GenkiGirl: Clau is the most energetic of the four, though Pato is also very plucky.
36	* TheGlomp: Clau is quite effusive when meeting her boyfriend.
37	* GotVolunteered: Pato gets shoved to the front of the line for radiation treatment, despite her marked reluctance to go.
38	* HalloweenCosplay: Bubbly Clau did it for the [[http://m9girls.com/webcomic/en/2014/10/30/happy-halloween-2014/ 2014 edition]].
39	** Doubling as a ImageLinks/CosplayFanArt when the Girls donned [[http://m9girls.com/webcomic/en/2013/10/30/happy-halloween/ high school uniforms]] to dress-up as the ''Webcomic/DoodlingAround'' cast.
40	** ... while the ''Webcomic/VaticanAssassins'' dressed-up as [[http://www.vaticanassassinscomic.com/vatican-assassins/the-fantastic-v-9-girls-halloween-2013/ the Girls]] for the same event.
41	* HighClassGloves: All girls wear gloves, though probably Any qualifies better. Again, this is because of Karla's idea of superhero fashion.
42	* HowDoIShotWeb: The third chapter has the girls experimenting with their powers, and the fourth chapter features a training sequence under Professor T.X.
43	* IdenticalPanelGag: Every now and then. For example, [[http://m9girls.com/webcomic/en/2012/07/08/busted/ this page]] depicts how exciting is the actual work at a genetics lab, and [[http://m9girls.com/webcomic/en/2013/10/20/time-in-a-bottle/ this page]] uses it to convey Any's [[TimeMaster time-freezing]] powers.
44	* InSeriesNickname: All of the girls are known by their shortened nicknames.
45	* KnewItAllAlong: Vero thinks the girls are part of a conspiracy. [[spoiler: She finds out she's right]].
46	* LEGOGenetics: A combination of this and radiation are what give the M9 Girls their powers.
47	* LuminescentBlush: Any blushes quite a bit around the professor early on.
48	* MadScientist: [[spoiler: Professor T.X.]] does not seem to have problems with a complete lack of research ethics for human experimentation. [[spoiler: He actually was originally part of a mad science team with the BigBad.]]
49	* MagicalGirl: The M9 Girls are the mad science-version of the trope.
50	* ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler: Professor T.X.]] uses his [[spoiler: ridiculously good looks]] to manipulate Any, Pato, Claudia, and Karla into becoming subjects for his mad experiments.
51	* MindOverMatter: Claudia is a telekinetic.
52	* MiniDressOfPower: Lampshaded. Karla reasons that, since they are becoming super heroines, they should all wear pretty costumes.
53	* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: Any realizes that she is able to read minds and becomes disappointed in her choice of crushes.
54	* NervesOfSteel: Purple Space is the first to act when a threat comes up. Just don't give her [[FearOfNeedles a shot]].
55	* NinjaPirateRobotZombie: The cyborgs have a little of everything in their design, not always for the better.
56	* ObviouslyEvil: Alpha Prime, the BigBad, is horribly deformed as a result of being exposed to the same cosmic radiation that gives the M9 Girls their powers. Justified in that he is a result of early, not perfected, experimentation.
57	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickName: Professor T.X.
58	* PowerGlows: Using cosmic powers results in a purple aura.
59	* QuirkyCurls: Pato, the most contrary of the group.
60	* RageAgainstTheMentor: The Prof may be the one who gave them their powers and started them out learning to use them, but Pato did not take kindly to finding out [[spoiler: they were being used as counterweapons all along]] and has no qualms about calling him out on it.
61	* ShyFingerTwiddling: Karla does this when the Professor points out the unaccounted expense on the costumes she has made for the Girls.
62	* SourSupporter: Pato is the least enthusiastic member of the group. She’s also prone to teasing from the others as a result.
63	* SpandexLatexOrLeather: Technically, [[http://m9girls.com/webcomic/en/2013/08/26/went-too-far/ "an unaccounted expense on high-resistance polymer fibers"]]
64	* SpeechBubbles: Each character gets a different font in the early chapters. Apparently the authors got tired of keeping track of the fonts, because they have dropped it in later chapters.
65	* SuperHeroOrigin: The webcomic itself is an origin story.
66	* ThreePlusTwo: Any, Pato and Clau are shown to be classmates and friends at the start of the first chapter, then they recruit fancy (but secretly smart) Karla for splitting homework. Eventually, [[spoiler: Karla's friend Vero joins as the SixthRanger]].
67	* TeamPowerWalk: The first time they wear their costumes for battle. The page even has a ThemeSong.
68	* TimeMaster: Any can create a bubble inside of which time is slowed down.
69	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Vero and Karla.
70	* TransformationSequence: Averted. The M9 Girls must change themselves into their super-heroine clothes, not without some shinny effects [[http://m9girls.com/webcomic/en/suit-up/ added by the artist]].
71	* TranslationConvention: The M9 Girls actually speak Spanish. The English version of the comic is there only for readers' convenience.
72	* WillTheyOrWontThey: Any and Professor T.X.
