Major/Recurring Villains
"Evil Spinnerette"
Alexis Woodrow a.k.a. "Evil Spinnerette"
- Alpha Bitch: Complete with two underlings, Dakota and Julian the latter of whom she transforms into a spiderwoman because if he'd remained male, he would have been a lot smaller and a tasty snack.
- Age Lift: She's aged up to 18 in her Patreon-exclusive NSFW comic, which carries over to Issue 33. How she could be 16 in 2010 and 18 in 2020 remains a mystery, as previously it was indicated only a few months had passed in-universe given Mecha Maid's terminal illness.
- Arachnid Appearance and Attire: Has a spider for the lower half of her body and wears a costume with a webbing motif.
- The Atoner: In Issue 7, she voices regret for turning herself into a Drider, and voices interest in somehow reversing the transformation. Ultimately subverted, it's all an act intended to trick Spinnerette into helping her turn her friends into driders as well.
- Being Evil Sucks: After two years, Alexis comes to genuinely regret having impulsively turned herself into a drider, barely making enough money as a camgirl — let alone a supervillain — to feed herself, and being treated as a monster by most people even when she doesn't mean to harm them.
- Blatant Lies: To get out of fighting Spinnerette on someone else's terms, Alexis feeds her a spiel of obviously dubious veracity. What cements it as being lies is the fact that just as she disappears through the portal, Alexis promises Heather they'll fight again, but on her own terms.
- The Bus Came Back: After defeating Spinnerette, she skips town with Dakota and Julien, stating it was unlikely Spinny would ever see her again. Fourteen issues later she's summoned to fight by the Editor alongside Silver Age Evil Spinnerette and Dark Age Evil Spinnerette. She gets off by feeding a heap of Blatant Lies to Heather, who of course believes every word of it, and departs with the promise of a rematch on her own terms. Her next appearance is in Issue 33, where she returns to Colombus to promote her webcam show at a convention by distributing autographed photos, though Spinnerette is convinced she's up to something.
- Card-Carrying Villain: Embraces being the villain to the point of demanding Heather refer to her as Evil Spinnerette.
- Chaotic Neutral: Self-describes as such after her Heel–Face Turn. She tends to be rather morally flexible, but she does have enough humanity left to find purpose as a pretend villain and turn down an offer to return to straight-up supervillainy.
- Dark Action Girl: As Heather's evil counterpart, she is a supervillain.
- Engineered Heroics: She magically summons a snowstorm that causes several accidents, including a semi hitting Spinnerette as she was trying to rescue another crash victim, shuts down Mecha Maid's jet-pack with ice, and then "conveniently rescues" her from the Scioto River. This time, Spinnerette is not fooled.
- Evil Counterpart: To Spinnerette, as the super villain with the spider motif.
- Evil Laugh: being an Evil Counterpart and a showboat, she generally introduces herself with a maniacal cackle.
- Extra Eyes: Gets four smaller eyes on her forehead post-transformation.
- Friendly Enemy: Alexis appears to genuinely like Heather, despite their differences. This becomes more pronounced after Alexis becoming a "pretend villain" after her Heel–Face Turn.
- Functional Magic: Dungeons and Dragons magic works the same in real life that it does in the game.
- Half-Human Hybrid: Turned herself into a drider: human torso, the lower body of a spider.
- Heel–Face Turn: After spending two years as a drider, Alexis realizes that Being Evil Sucks and makes one final attempt on Spinnerette's life, selfishly blaming Heather for what she'd done to herself. When - despite this - Heather excuses Alexis' attempt on her life as a promo for a superheroes vs. supervillains roller derby, Alexis becomes a "pretend villain" and finds herself much happier for it — even turning down Bloodcrow's attempt to bribe her into turning heel again with a serum that suppresses her powers.
- Hellish Pupils: After her transformation she is frequently drawn with slitted pupils.
- I Am a Humanitarian: Strongly implied to have eaten other humans in this guest art
. Although, she is not entirely human anymore. - I Just Want to Be Normal: As an adult, Alexis comes to regret her impulsively turning herself into a giant spider-monster; since even after her Heel–Face Turn she's still regarded with fear by civilians. Bloodcrow offers her an out in the form of a serum that will suppress her powers and turn her human for a few hours per dose, but attempts to bribe her into working for him in exchange for it. Alexis strongly considers it, but decides to turn the offer down despite her desire to be human again and her attraction to Bloodcrow.
- Insane Troll Logic: Her train of logic placing blame on Spinnerette for "ruining her life" makes sense to her and her alone."Being a supervillain is nothing like I thought it would be! My minions left me! I can't exactly hide anywhere, being 10 feet long and 2000 pounds! Robbery is impossible! Oh, and that 40k a year barely covers food for a drider!"
- It's All About Me: Is very arrogant, and the reason she transformed herself in the first place was to rebel against her controlling parents.
- Karma Houdini: Because of her status as a minor (and her rich family), she couldn't be tried in a court of law, despite numerous instances of breaking-and-entering, theft, illegal use of magic, and assault, and more or less got off with a light sentence. In Chapter 7, she creates two more Drider minions and soundly beats Heather in one-on-one combat, and leaves the city, facing no repercussions... for this encounter. Come the next one however...
- Karma Houdini Warranty: Karma came a-knocking not long after as she suddenly realizes how much finances it took to actually keep up her supervillain practices as well as to sustain her spider body that she ultimately had to let go of her Drider minions and work as a cam model just to get by. When Heather encounters her again, a fight breaks out and this time Heather does defeat her in combat. But takes pity on her and says the whole thing was staged for her photo gig so she won't lose standing with the city she's in. It's still a nice bit punishment though since E. Spin can't deny it and gets a bit of embarrassment from the whole encounter.
- Lonely Rich Kid: Alexis' upbringing appears to have been both wealthy and painfully stultifying, with implications of endless and unnecessary (to Alexis) sessions with psychiatrists, doctors, and clergy after her transformation. (It's played with a bit though; Dakota and Julian are definitely friends, even though Alexis threatens to kill them both if Heather won't fight her.)
- Manipulative Bitch: Tricks Heather by faking repentance... twice, and Heather falls for it both times.
- Meaningful Name: Arguably her last name Woodrow.
- Most Common Super Power: Her enormous bust size is lampshaded by Tiger and Mecha Maid.
- Never My Fault: The fact that she's a ten-foot long, one ton, giant spider, whose henchmen abandoned her after she herself realized her "super-villain" career isn't what she imagined has to be Spinnerette's fault, somehow, even after Spinnerette tried to help her change back to human only for Evil Spinnerette herself to spit in Heather's face and create two new driders instead.
- Non-Indicative Name: Well, Non-Indicative Codename. On one hand, it implies that she's an evil version of Spinerette, even though all they have in common is spider-powers. On the other hand, following her heel-face turn she defines herself as Chaotic Neutral, meaning both parts of her name are incorrect.
- Of Corsets Sexy: Her costume is a webbing-themed corset.
- The Oldest Profession: After she turns 18, Alexis becomes a camgirl with a sizable following... and Heather Brown is one of her patrons — ostensibly just to keep tabs on her. Alexis takes a moment to flirtatiously mock Spinnerette when she shows up for an autograph acting like a tsundere.
- Playing the Victim Card: After Spinnerette turns the tables on her and brings her into custody for attempted murder of both herself and Mecha Maid, Evil Spinnerette has the gall to start crying and shout "if you're such a great hero, why didn't you save me?!"
- Religion is Magic: She's basically a cleric of the D&D spider goddess Loth, given her veneration of spiders and her performance of physically transformative rituals that are meant to please her. Maybe "adept" is more accurate to what she's capable of.
- Revenge Before Reason: She still wants revenge on Spinnerette in Issue 33 despite the fact that she left their last confrontation laughing all the way to the bank, having beaten the living daylights out of her, dodged jail time as a minor, and settled into a lucrative career as a cam girl.
- Revenge Myopia: Which Spinnerette lampshades. She chose a career in super-villainy, engaging in grand theft and attempted murder, escaped jail time by being a minor, lured two other minors into crime, drowned Spinnerette and then fled the scene, but in the present uses a magically summoned snowstorm to jeopardize Mecha Maid "because she needed vengeance" even though her Patreon income from her web-cam show nets $40k a year, more than Spinnerette herself makes.Spinnerette: What revenge? You kicked my ass on national television last time, and said we'd never meet again. If anything, I need revenge on YOU!
Evil Spinnerette: Oh that is rich! As you bask in the glory of being Ohio's number 3 super hero... I'm living a life of misery!
Spinnerette: I'm still not seeing it... You escaped jail time, and your Patreon makes like fourty k per year! That's more than I make! - Spider People: She uses a ritual to summon Lolth and turn herself into a drider. And she's now got two drider minions at her command.
- Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Her career as a super-villain failed because being a giant spider woman makes it impossible to commit conventional crimes or hide from the authorities. Also, despite making tens of thousands of dollars from Patreon and her career as a cam girl, the amount of food needed to sustain her massive body means that her grocery bills easily outstrips her finances, to say nothing of the effort required to fit that much food through a human jaw.
- Teens Are Monsters: When she first appears she's only 16, and unlike Dr. Universe and Greta Gravity, has no sympathetic backstory to explain her Start of Darkness. She became a villain For the Evulz and mutated herself just to rebel against her controlling parents.
- Walk the Earth: The true motivation of Alexis' confrontation with Spinnerette: to get the hell out of Columbus. Her next major appearance shows her becoming a highly successful camgirl upon turning 18.
- Younger Than They Look: She's initially only 16, but looks like she could be in her early 20's.
Dr. Universe
Ulysses N. Verde/Dr. Universe
- Anti-Villain: Easily the most sympathetic of the villains, as he's not exactly evil but he is still a villain.
- Bald of Evil: Balding, as he appears to have lost most of his hair after he became a supervillain.
- Benevolent Boss: Both before and after his Start of Darkness, he's shown to treat his assistant Greta well and is quite fond of her.
- Big Bad: The most outstanding candidate thus far, for a given value of bad given that he was first and is the most reoccurring.
- Blatant Lies: After having Greta lift Evescroft's jeep into the air and threaten to drop it, he claims to have come for peaceful protest.
- Blue-and-Orange Morality: When you get right down to it, Dr. U isn't exactly evil to begin with. It's just that his principles are way out of step with society.
- Card-Carrying Villain: He's a complex case. On one hand, he won't dispute anyone calling him a villain but he considers himself a scientist first and foremost, and at one point berates Greta for "playing the villain". On the other hand, he claims that society at large considers scientists in general to be villains and pop-stars to be heroes.
- Cut Lex Luthor a Check: Subverted in his backstory. He and Greta were working on free, limitless energy, but they planned to give it to China, who funded their research and had the greatest projected need of it. Dr. Universe and Greta were then shut down and imprisoned by the government under suspicion of being Communist sympathizers.
- Einstein Hair: What hair he has stands on end. It's that crazy brilliant scientist look.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Works for Nazis only because he knows their plan will fail, and visibly enjoys it when it finally does. It doesn't hurt that they are paying him a lot of money, and he considers draining racists of their money as a service to the community.
- A Father to His Men: Though Greta is technically his assistant, they're as close as family. It was Universe who encouraged Greta not to be ashamed of her plus sized figure.
- For Science!: His primary motivation is the progression of science, but he doesn't ignore potential practical applications.
- Foreshadowing: His defense that everything could be used as a weapon, up to a cricket bat (when Spinnerete refuses to allow him to get his hands on a "potential weapon" like a C-K reactor), is followed several issues later by Dr. Singh breaking his old bat on a villain's head in self-defence.
- Friendly Enemy: Towards Spinnerette, to the point that he saves her life. He's also cordial towards Mecha Maid in Issue 34, who is suspicious towards him.
- Hazy-Feel Turn: He registers with the ASA alongside Greta at some point prior to Issue 34. When Mecha Maid incredulously demands to know how that was possible, he remarks that there's a loophole that makes registry possible as long as there are no active arrest warrants.
- Heroic Build: Cuts quite a massive figure for a scientist. Also has a rather nice Shirtless Scene here.
- I Did What I Had to Do: When he had to cut off Spinny's extra arms to save her life. From the dialogue, he's really apologetic.
- Labcoat of Science and Medicine: His getup consists of this and goggles. He also wore red lab gloves in his initial appearance, but quickly abandoned them for some hi-tech gauntlets (presumably because he knew he would be going into the field), and had those ever since.
- Mad Scientist: Zig-Zagged; in practice he's relatively calm and pragmatic, even reasonable. On the other hand, he's pretty amoral in scientific pursuits, even immoral at times, and made a career of being completely willing to commit heinous acts for science (such as vivisecting werewolves to find out how they transform).
- Mundane Utility: The CK Glove isn't just for power amplification, it also makes espressos and plays flac files.
- Noble Demon: Considering he saves Spins' life twice when she has having a superpower melt down. He had ample opportunity to experiment on her at the time, but insisted on her volunteering for such treatment. He also has the courtesy to not remove Spinnerette's mask as he helps her.Spinnerette: Aren't you curious who I really am?
Dr. Universe: I know exactly who you are. You're Spinnerette. - Old-School Chivalry: He takes great care not to invade Greta's privacy even though they are shown in the NSFW issues to actually be lovers, or have been at some undetermined point of the storyline.
- Omnidisciplinary Scientist: His day job was apparently is a nuclear physicist, considering his research into limitless energy, but he also has the skills to dabble into the workings of gravity, he is a geneticist, and also a surgeon.
- Only in It for the Money: Keeping up with his Objectivist philosophy, this is the reason he does anything. He doesn't believe in Nazi or Neo-Confederate ideals for a second, but he'll work for them if the money is good (and is confident their idiotic plan requiring his services would fail anyway).
- Power Armor: His gauntlets. He appears to be wearing a full set under his lab coat, but it conceals anything but the gauntlets.
- Pragmatic Villainy:
- He calls off an attack on the heroes when he finds out there are other "rogue werewolves" he can take.
- When Spinnerette asks for his help against Colonel Glass and even explains how fighting Glass would help him, Universe declines, stating that he and Greta only engage in battles that they can win.
- Steven Ulysses Pervillain: His real name is Ulysses N. Verde.
- Secret Identity Apathy: Doesn't really give a hoot about who Spinnerette really is under the mask.
- Secret Test of Character: Administers a subtle one to Spinnerette, asking her if she'd accept to selflessly donate her body for testing to give the world free energy. It all sounds like your typical Mad Scientist rhetoric, until you realize that he's an objectivist. He's by definition opposed to altruism. Either that, or he has a conscience in spite of his beliefs or he believes being a good person when necessary is ultimately more profitable, making this a case of Blue-and-Orange Morality.
- Strawman Political: Dr. U is a better Objectivist than virtually any Rand fan you'll meet in real life, including Rand herself. This makes him a very unusual positive case.note
- Super-Intelligence: His genius is confirmed to be an actual superpower rather than the Muggle variety when Tiger starts giving science lectures after swapping powers with him. In the absence of his power, he finds that he has a harder time making logical connections and conceiving ideas, which he interprets as a 'fog' in his mind. Of course, Universe is still no moron without it; his love for science and his prior knowledge and motivations were not lost in the power transfer.
- Un-Evil Laugh: A rather lackluster "Heh... haha!" He occasionally wishes that he was "more maniacal".
- Villains Out Shopping: Issue 15 has him and Greta Gravity going out for some ice cream. Super MILF takes the time to stop by and melt their ice creams for no real reason before flying off.
- Workaholic: Greta regularly gets on his case for not being able to turn "mad scientist" mode off. He's so consistent about bringing his C-K glove everywhere he goes, even when she tells him not to, that he has a seriously-bad reverse farmer's tan on his left arm.
Greta Gravity
Greta Gravity
- All Germans Are Nazis: Averted, she's visibly uncomfortable around the Nazi remnants who commission a Hitler clone from her boss. Of course she's German-Brazilian so her "fatherland" is not the same as theirs.
- Anti-Villain: Like Dr. Universe, she's not genuinely evil. She just does villainous acts on behalf of her boss.
- Big Beautiful Woman: She's chubby but extremely well-endowed, rocks an hourglass waist, and her outfit reveals a lot of cleavage. If she's not providing fanservice in the main series, then it's usually in donation wallpapers. Doctor Universe made her eat enough food to gain over thirty kilograms of weight in their backstory since she would need the extra energy for their escape attempt. Much to her chagrin, since she was trying to lose weight. It's also revealed that she uses her gravity powers to enforce the "beautiful" part.
- Brains and Brawn: Played with. Within the context of the comic, she's very much the Brawn to Dr. Universe Brain, having an offensively very powerful ability and usually seen using throwing heavy objects around... which can make it easy to forget that she's actually also a professional scientist, an accomplished theoretical physicist, and seemingly no slouch in ethical philosophy (considering her ability to talk objectivism with Dr. Universe). It's just that relatively to his superhuman intellect but mundane physique, she comes off as the dumber, burlier one. When paired with another character while temporarily not having access to her powers, she actually ends up taking the Brains role!
- But Not Too Foreign: She's of German ancestry, but is proudly Brazilian born and raised. note
- Cooldown Hug: When Heather starts freaking out over the loss of her extra arms in Issue 12, Greta gently cuddles and reassures her.
- D-Cup Distress:: Her enormous bust prevents her from seeing what's directly below her.
- The Dragon: For Doctor Universe. She tends to do all of the fighting and heavy "lifting" for him.
- Friendly Enemy: With Spinnerette, to the point that they're more like Vitriolic Best Buds. Despite often being on the opposite side, Greta does seem to be genuinely fond of Heather.
- Genki Girl: You might not want to get her started about Brazil (or, even more so, futebol). You might not be able to handle the gushing.
- Gravity Master: Her power is control over gravity within a limited radius.
- I Was Just Passing Through: Claims that she saved Heather and Mecha Maid from burning to death out of "[her] own rational self-interest."
- Most Common Superpower: Her size is a side effect of her power — and her power is to defy gravity.
- Mundane Utility: She uses her gravity powers to give herself an hourglass waist despite her size, and to support her huge bosom, without need of corsets nor bras.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: During the Spa arc, Heather has a run in with a villain whose taken her looks. After barely escaping, she runs into Greta who likewise had a run in with a doppelgänger. Greta decides to test whether she's the real Spinnerette by bringing up the time they went out for breakfast after the power-swap incident. Spinnerette misremembers what she'd ordered, resulting in Greta attacking her. When the real doppelgänger shows up, Heather manages to prove she's the real Spinnerette by showing she wears a wig while the doppelgänger doesn't. When the doppelgänger captures them, Greta tells Heather to help, but she can't due to Greta having broken her ribs while slamming her around.
- Noble Demon: Like her boss, she's not truly evil, but has embraced being a villain.
- Oktoberfest: Her costume, given to her by some racist guards.
- Pet the Dog: Her reaction to Heather's despair at losing her extra arms was nothing short of heartwarming.
- Skewed Priorities: "Mein busen! I've lost at least three cup sizes!" [notices she has six arms]
- Vain Sorceress: Heather deduces that she's using her gravity powers as a makeshift corset and push-up bra. Hence, why she has still an hourglass figure and shapely breasts despite being chubby. While Greta is quick to drop the conversation, she's doesn't deny it either.
- Vapor Wear: She wears her very loose dirndl top explicitly without any bra -or rather, without fabric ones, at least.
- Villains Out Shopping: Issue 15 has her and Dr. Universe going out for some ice cream. Super MILF takes the time to stop by and melt their ice creams for no real reason before flying off.
- What Would X Do?: She taunts Dr. Universe with the actual line "What would Ayn Rand do" to goad him into taking for his own what he desires, namely, herself in one of the NSFW issues.
Colonel Glass
Colonel Glass
A member of the Korean People's Army with telekinetic control over glass, and who has a past with Mecha Maid and her family.
- Absurdly Sharp Blade: He can manipulate glass on an apparently molecular level, enabling him to create blades sharp enough to cleanly slice through metal.
- Arch-Enemy: Strongly implied to have been one to White Heron.
- Ax-Crazy: Look at his expression on the cover of Issue 18! He revels in violence any bloodshed.
- Bandaged Face: He's completely swathed in bandages.
- Berserk Button: He's from
Best Korea, so he doesn't take kindly to insults to Father Kim Il Sung. - Boxing Lessons for Superman: He's able to identify different types of glass on sight.
- Character Death: Col. Glass is the first super villain in the comic to die. And it's by Buzz's and Spinny's hands, no less. They cremate him to make sure he doesn't heal. He's the first of the comic's main fatalities outside of a flashback.
- Colonel Kilgore: He's a(n allegedly former) Colonel in the North Korean People's Army.
- Commissar Cap: Wears one as part of his military uniform.
- The Cracker: He can apparently use the silicon in glass shards to re-program attack drones on the fly. He's shown doing this twice. The first drone he crashes into a government black-ops counter-terrorism van that was launching them, and the second drone he tries to use to secure the C-K reactor to ship back to North Korea. Tries being the correct word as he is intercepted by Spinnerette.
- Crazy-Prepared: Deliberately rigged the hostage exchange to provoke a fight with White Heron and filled a nearby river with glass shards to use as ammo.
- Deader than Dead:
- Had his head blasted into a gory mess by Buzz and then had his corpse cremated. No way in hell he survived.
- Marilyn confirms in the next chapter that he's not coming back.
- Deadpan Snarker: Colonel Glass is fond of sarcastic humour and making cutting remarks while he shreds his opponents with glass shards.
- Death by Irony: After being led into a greenhouse by Spinny, he is caught in the spray of glass shrapnel caused by the explosion of the bomb set off by her. Overwhelmed by the dozens of pieces of glass now falling toward him, he is unable to focus enough to stop them all in time and gets shredded by the stragglers. It doesn't kill him, but it incapacitates him long enough for Spinny and Buzz to finish him off.
- The Dreaded: Everyone that has heard of him fears him, and his appearance in Columbus is enough to get the city sealed off. Even in a different hemisphere, his name scares people.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Glass may be a bloodthirsty psychopath, but when he learns that Mecha Maid is dying of ALS as a result of North Korea's superpower-breeding camps, he calls off their fight, apologizes, and tells her to spend her remaining time with her loved ones before leaving.
- Faux Affably Evil: He can be relatively polite when he wants to be, and may invoke Villainous Valor on occasion. Though he's quick to ditch it when the opportunity arises, and there's still the little matter of him being a Grade-A psycho.
- Flechette Storm: Col. Glass uses glass offensively by levitating shards and firing them at opponents, He can also fire larger shards to cause a Storm of Blades.
- Genre Savvy: He reads TVTropes, and even cites one of the pages to General Evescroft (Faceless Goons to be precise).
- Godzilla Threshold: Prompts this in Marilyn, who loads up on several highly lethal and incendiary implements in her suit, overriding her AI helper Vesper's safety protocol warnings each step of the way. Including a thermite self-destruct charge.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: A guy honking his car horn at him sets him off. And by "sets him off" we mean "imagines liquefying everyone in the car and dismembering random passersby." He's able to resist the temptation of doing it for real, but a cat in a nearby alley isn't so lucky.
- Healing Factor: His secondary power gives him "Level 4" regenerative abilities. In one instance he regrows part of his arm moments after it was severed in an attack. He is even able to recover from white phosphorus. So Buzz blows his head away and than has Heather cremate him before he can try it again.
- Hero Killer: Is considered a Class Triple-A super villain and, in a more literal sense, killed the legendary White Heron in the 1980s.
- In the Hood: Sports a black hoodie while "incognito" in the US, and somehow fits his military uniform underneath it and some jeans.
- It's Personal: Fought and killed Marilyn's adoptive mother, the South Korean superheroine White Heron, in 1985.
- Katanas Are Just Better: Forms a katana out of glass to slice apart Mecha Maid's rockets.
- Kill It with Fire: Since he can block, deflect, or destroy most attacks using glass, and his Healing Factor allows him to recover from any injury quickly, the only way to really defeat Col. Glass is to burn him to death. Which Spinnerette finally does at the end of Glass' arc, using thermite after white phosphorus proved ineffective.
- Knight of Cerebus: Stated as such in the comments. He also appears to be the first truly psychotic villain (Alexis wanted to rebel against her stiflingly proper parents, and Dr. Universe is an Anti-Villain with a case of Blue-and-Orange Morality. Col. Glass here revels in ripping people to bloody shreds with his glass shards, the first on-panel killing in the comic.)
- Luke, I Am Your Father: Marilyn believes that Glass might be her biological father.
- Meaningful Name: He's a colonel with control over glass. 'Nuff said.
- Not Quite Dead: This guy just won't go down. Not even when Mecha Maid uses white phosphorous on him. It took a volley of gunshots to the head and being set on fire to finally off him.
- Older Than They Look: He's at least in his 40's, but looks the same as he did in 1985.
- Pet the Dog: When he finds out that Mecha Maid is dying as a result of the breeding camps and experiments, he apologizes and leaves her alive, telling her to spend the rest of her allotted time with her loved ones.
- The Power of Glass: He provides the trope image, and for good reason too. He can control any form of glass in his vicinity down to a molecular level. Any form of glass.
- Rasputinian Death: Of the "nothing less would have taken him down" variety. To wit, he has his arm torn off in a building collapse, then Marilyn lights him on fire with white phosphorus, then Heather tricks him into shredding himself with a rain of glass, and then Buzz blows his head off before he and Heather finally cremate him with a thermite charge.
- Scary Teeth: His teeth are shark-like.
- Slasher Smile: Sports one on the cover of Issue 16, and throughout the issue as well.
- The Sociopath: Used glass shards to peel a cat like an orange For the Evulz, and rigged a hostage exchange by bringing one extra prisoner - baby Marilyn, who's hinted to be his own daughter - and a truck with glass headlights, and then trying to turn the extra prisoner into a Human Sacrifice for Kim Il-sung as a ploy to get White Heron to drop her guard.
- Super-Soldier: He's the product of a North Korean CK super soldier program, which also produced Lt. Warthog, Mecha Maid, and White Heron.
- Worthy Opponent: Acknowledges Mecha Maid as one after she tries to activate her self-destruct to kill him. When it fails due to her suit malfunctioning, he gives her a chance to stand up so she can die on her feet.
- Would Hurt a Child: Brings baby Marilyn as an extra prisoner and tries to kill her in order to provoke a fight with White Heron. Especially awful since she could very well be his own biological daughter.
Adrastea
Jennifer Troy/Adrastea
A former patient of Dr. Singh, returned for revenge after contracting Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (also known as Lou Gehrig's disease or just ALS).
- Abnormal Limb Rotation Range: She's shown twisting her torso so that it's perpendicular to her hips twice.
- Ambiguously Brown: Anglo-sounding name + medium-brown skin + straight dark hair = ???
- Armor-Piercing Question: Spinny gives one to her after she seemingly murders Dr. Singh, asking her if there is anything left in her life except revenge and if anyone really loves her. Although it doesn't cause her to doubt her actions or her crusade against Singh, it does convince her to spare Mecha Maid and end her rampage.
- Crazy-Prepared: A well placed EMP should have taken her down. Instead, her armor has a compressed gas "auto-eject" feature should it be disabled, and she somehow has enough room for a thigh holster with a gun inside those presumably skin hugging armored legs.
- Deadly Disc: Combined with Improbable Weapon User. She takes the lid of a stem cell tank and throws it through a window snapping Spinerette's spider thread trellis in an attempt to stop Dr. Singh's escape.
- Didn't See That Coming: She was apparently quite surprised that somebody would think of using an E.M.P. against her and her Powered Armor. She also failed to think that Dr. Singh would actually defend himself with his cricket bat.
- Don't Make Me Destroy You: When confronted by security guards, she warns them to stand down. When they refuse, she stomps them into the ground.
- Evil Counterpart: As a woman dying of ALS and clad in powered armor, she's a villainous counterpart to Mecha Maid. Her Nemesis Suit is also explicitly based off of the Mecha Maid armor (though not in appearance, obviously).
- For Justice: What she believes her motive is. She actually has the gall to say that her murdering Dr. Singh, thus endangering his patients, and trying to kill Mecha Maid is "justice."
- Gadgeteer Genius: She managed to design and build her Nemesis Suit using only video footage of other powered armors in action, specifically Mecha Maid's, which she considered the best out of all the ones she had seen. Not only that, but she managed to improve upon the Mecha Maid armor's specs, or so she claims.
- Hero Killer: She believes she killed Dr. Singh (not an invalid assumption), and actually pats herself on the back for it, despite Mecha Maid outright telling her that she killed all of Dr. Singh's patients too.
- Hope Crusher: She deliberately sets out to kill a doctor that's working on a cure of ALS, knowing full well that she would be dashing the hope of thousands of people, because she believes the deaths of people with ALS are inevitable and that killing Singh is just saving them from false hope.Adrastea: We will all DIE. But I will die with my eyes open!
- Hope Spot: Being hit with an EMP, disables her... until she ejects her power suit, and draws a gun. Subverted since losing the suit leaves her without any of her powers making her vulnerable enough that Singh is able to knock her out with his cricket bat.
- I Am Not Left-Handed: She has ALS, so disabling her suit should stop her, right? Turns out she hasn't had it long enough to affect her limbs yet, so she simply takes her suit off, stands up, and draws a gun. It's then subverted when it turns out that without said super suit, she's just an ordinary woman who Dr. Singh is perfectly capable of physically overpowering with the element of surprise.
- Insane Troll Logic: Despite going to Dr. Singh because of massive neurological trauma in the first place, after serving a tour in Afghanistan, (where the enemy has very little regard for the rules of the Geneva convention), she, without contacting Dr. Singh in any way, places the blame for her condition entirely on his work, and the procedure that restored her ability to walk. It would be like a patient getting her appendix removed and then fire-bombing the hospital because she developed colon cancer a few months later, without contacting the hospital, or other medical professionals, in any way beforehand.
- Knight of Cerebus: Only the second villain in the comic's run to be presented as a 100% serious threat.
- Knight Templar: Is so utterly convinced that Dr. Singh is responsible for her condition, that she's using lethal force against nurses who work in his office, in front of other patients.
- Meaningful Name: Her codename, the name of her armor, and her MO are taken from the Greek goddess of revenge, who is implacable and ruthless to the point of being more-than-willing to endanger and hurt innocents in pursuit of her "justice."
- Misplaced Retribution: She wants Dr. Singh's blood because she developed ALS after undergoing his treatment to restore her mobility, taking no steps to confirm it really was his fault.
- Moral Myopia: In response to Mecha Maid screaming "AND HIS PATIENTS," she replies "an eye for an eye." Further when Mecha Maid says "you want revenge against me?" She goes, "no. JUSTICE."
- Murder Is the Best Solution: Her hat. Even if Dr. Singh really was responsible for her condition, there are many better ways to handle it. Going to the press, writing an open letter to the authorities, filing a lawsuit. Instead, she spends months going over footage of Mecha Maid in action, copying her power armor, breaks into his lab, brutalizes nurses, and effectively throws the man himself out a window, over three stories up. Further, when she sees Spinnerette coming back after presumably failing to evacuate Dr. Singh, she immediately intends to snap Mecha Maid's neck like a chicken bone. Fortunately, Spinnerrette had a plan to talk her down.
- Oh, Crap!: When she realizes that Mecha Maid and Spinerette were holding back because unlike herself, they were actually concerned about the fate of innocents. Especially as she sees a missile heading towards her face.
- Pay Evil unto Evil: What she believes she's doing, having convinced herself that Singh is responsible for her ALS and intends to infect countless innocents with it.
- Powered Armor: Her Nemesis Suit, which was constructed using Mecha Maid's suit as a basis but improves upon its specs.
- Rationalizing the Overkill: When Mecha Maid points out that killing Singh effectively means murdering every person with ALS (both ethically and legally), including herself, Adrastea sneers that only a fool would have believed the cure would have worked, and that at least she'll die with her eyes open to the truth.
- Recognition Failure: She's insulted that Dr. Singh didn't immediately recognize her... when she's in a gaudy red and black power armor, wearing a mask and speaking with a synthesized voice.
- Red and Black and Evil All Over: Her powered armor is black and red, with a faceplate painted to look like a fanged skull. Even her speech bubbles are black with red text.
- Revenge: What her motive truly is, despite believing it's For Justice.
- Revenge Before Reason: Despite having no evidence whatsoever that Dr. Singh's stem-cell research is responsible for her condition, she insists that her condition itself is the evidence, and is trying to smash Dr. Singh's research, and Dr. Singh himself, in revenge.
- Roaring Rampage of Revenge: She's destroying Dr. Singh's research in order to get revenge on him for supposedly poisoning her, and even named herself after an epithet of Nemesis, the Greek goddess of vengeance.
- That Man Is Dead: She tells Dr. Singh that he "killed Jennifer Troy."
- Ungrateful Bastard: Rather than being grateful that she temporarily regained the ability to walk, thanks to Dr. Singh's work, she's very quick to blame him when things go wrong, and does her best to utterly ruin the lives of his other patients by destroying the stem cells that may well mean the difference between life and death for them. She even told a paraplegic Marylin to "run" as she was viciously brutalizing a nurse.
- Vengeance Feels Empty: Spinnerette tries to get her to come to this realization, asking her if she has anything left to live for now that her revenge is complete. Adrastea merely calls off attempt to kill Mecha Maid, acknowledges she has no reason to fight her or Spinnerette, and prepares to leave. Until she looks out the window to find Dr. Singh's body missing.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: She's convinced that Dr. Singh and his "poisoned" stem cells are responsible for her ALS and is trying to destroy his research both out of a desire for personal revenge and to prevent others from suffering like she has. When she's told that murdering Dr. Singh means killing his patients too, she pats herself on the back for it by saying that at least they won't die with false hope.
Sarah Nicole Megan
Sarah Nicole Megan
- Armoured Closet Gay: Sarah is quite against homosexuality despite being gay herself, and the drugs she happily distributes to everyone can turn gay people straight among other effects. She even continues to dose herself to keep herself straight. However, since the drugs do alter people's personalities to make them more "wholesome," it's not clear whether or not she was like this before the church gave her the drugs. Depends on if she willingly sought out a cure for being gay, or if it was forced on her.
- Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Her second appearance has her using some Imported Alien Phlebotinum that allows her to become this.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: While there are witnesses around, she acts like a good, wholesome woman who wouldn't harm a fly. When she's alone with her intended victim, she's cruel, vicious, and thinks little, if anything, about shooting a people to death if they oppose her. How much of this is due to her being drugged is up for debate as she has a history of bullying Heather whie pretending to be a sweet child long, long before anybody thought of "curing" her homosexuality.
- The Bully: Since they were children, Sarah went out of her way to harass Heather.
- Cardboard Prison: She was in one. The warden testifies that all Megan had to do was "borrow" the warden's keys to simply walk right out the front door and escape.
- Compelling Voice: By her own admission, she's put an even stronger version of the drugs she uses in her pies to make anyone who hears her voice do whatever she says, hoping that Mecha Maid has unknowingly consumed it.
- Cure Your Gays: As a Family-Values Villain, one of the effects of her drugs is this. She experienced it first hand after the church used them on her.
- Didn't See That Coming: Both Mecha Maid ignoring Spinnerette's surrender and being shoved off-stage by the little girl she grabbed the microphone from took her by complete surprise.
- Dirty Coward: Does everything through her mind control pies, letting others do the fighting for her. Once Spinnerette managed to subdue a brainwash Mecha Maid, she ran the first chance she got and tried to order the whole town to kill her.
- Disproportionate Retribution: Her response to cat-calls from a pair of construction workers is to use a wrist device to turn herself 50 feet tall and terrorize them. Albeit while intending this as a lecture making this a result of her Obliviously Evil tendencies rather than malice.
- Drugs Are Bad: After her family discovered Sarah's dark secret, her priest dosed her with drugs to "keep [her] on the straight and narrow". As a result of this, Sarah got the idea to use the drugs to fight crime and keep Circleville perfect, while also keeping herself dosed up on them.
- Dude, She's Like in a Coma: She admits to drugging Spinnerette when the later was unconscious.
- Evil Gloating: After ordering Mecha Maid to win at all costs, she calls Spinnerette "Loserette" while demanding the latter's surrender. Seems she didn't lose her bully tendencies after all.
- Evil Is Petty: Using her mind-control drugs to regain her former crown as Circleville's 2004 Pumpkin Queen before putting her plan into action. Though once she's defeated, she's stripped of the title once more.
- Exact Words: Combined with Hoist by His Own Petard. Because she ordered Mecha Maid to "win at all costs," Mecha Maid does not recognize Spinnerette's surrender, and is prepared to fire missiles through Megan herself.
- Family-Values Villain: She has a fixation with "keeping Circleville perfect". She also admonishes Spinnerette for her form-fitting costume because "there are children around!". Ironic, considering her past as Shameless Fanservice Girl. The drugs the church gave her seem to be the cause of her new set of morals, and now she is distributing them to others.
- Gone Horribly Right:
- A local priest interrogated, browbeat and drugged her into having a "family friendly" personality at the behest of her parents because they didn't approve of her being gay. The new personality turned out to be so militant that she decided to secretly drug everyone in town into becoming like her, and ended up killing the priest because he showed some scrap of a conscience and did not approve of her plans.
- She gets a taste of this herself when her mind-control works a little too well on Mecha Maid when she tells her to "win at any cost". Unforunately that means she won't stop till Spinnerette is dead, even if she surrenders, and has no qualms about putting Megan in the line of fire to achieve the command.
- Ultimately leads to her defeat, turns out it's not just tuned to her voice but anyone who can get their hand on a microphone. The little girl from earlier manages to break Megan's mind control by telling those affected that they're not being themselves.
- Heel–Face Turn: After breaking out of her mental institution and stealing a watch that allows her to change her size, she tries to atone for her past misdeeds by destroying the homophobic church that drove her to villainy in the first place. After a misunderstanding-induced brawl with Spinnerette, they manage to talk things over and Sarah joins the army as a relief volunteer.
- Hollywood Science: Even though the extent of her education is an associate's degree in culinary arts (Columbus State is a community college), she boasts of being able to enhance the drugs she's using in her pies so that anyone who ingests them will very quickly come under the influence of her voice, and only her voice, so as to be unable to resist any command she gives. The fans, basically without exception, are all quick to point out how implausible that is.
- Furthermore, supposedly, her decade's long use of mind-control drugs has such a high concentration remaining in her bloodstream that she can use her blood to control others.
- Hypocrite: Claims she wants to make Circleville a wholesome place for people through her mind-control. But is willing resort to murder the moment things don't go her way. Ironically she's beaten by a girl who embodies the true spirit of the town.
- Humiliation Conga: Nearly getting blasted to bits via an ill-worded command by Mecha Maid while under her control, shoved off the stage by a little girl and finding out she wasn't affected because she had diabetes showing that Megan really didn't think her plan through, had said plan foiled by said girl who undoes her brain-washing, is quickly arrested, and for a extra kick in the teeth, is stripped once again of her pumpkin queen title.
- I Did What I Had to Do: She says this word for word in regards to her new personality shooting her family priest to death when he disapproved of her "off label" use of his drugs.
- Imported Alien Phlebotinum: In her second appearance she's acquired an alien device that allows her to change her size.
- Incompatible Orientation: Sarah had an implied crush on Heather when they were in high-school, which manifested as aggressive flirtation and teasing. Heather, being Oblivious to Love and considering herself to be heterosexual, interpreted this as Sarah bullying and trying to outdo her.
- Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: While she may have been worthy of some sympathy due to being interrogated and browbeaten into taking the drugs that made her how she is, if not force-fed them, and her position has some merit, the fact that her "solution" for dealing with anyone that she can't drug into Blind Obedience is to have them killed has made her a Card-Carrying Villain.
- Knight Templar: Sarah is a Family-Values Villain on a crusade against everything that violates her sense of morals, and if that means killing the offending party then so be it.
- Let's You and Him Fight: Even though Spinnerette is handcuffed to a chair, Sarah goes for a microphone and calls for (a presumably drugged) Mecha Maid the moment Spinnerette begins to resist.
- Madness Mantra: When she sees Spinnerette wrestle Mecha Maid to the ground and handily pin her in a suggestive manner, she immediately goes for the drugged muffins that she keeps on her person while trying to convince herself that she's not gay.Sarah: You don't like girls—You don't like girls—You don't like girls...
- Magic Pants: Zigzagged, her new size changing device works with her old dress but she ends up shredding a new costume she tries out. Forcing her to keep the old one.
- May Contain Evil: Her fruit pies are laced with a personality-altering drug that is extremely addictive and causes those it has affected to become polite, friendly, and adhere to traditional Christian morals. However, she isn't the original source of the drugs and is drugged herself.
- Moral Sociopathy: She honestly believes she's a good and upright individual, even calling herself a superhero, but she is entirely delusional, after doping herself on psychotropic medication for at least a decade.
- Mundane Solution: Ironically beaten not from a fight with Spinnerette, but being shoved off-stage by a little girl who had diabetes and thus didn't eat her pies.
- Murder Is the Best Solution: She orders the police of Circleville to kill Spinnerette. Not subdue, not restrain, not capture, but kill so as to "protect Circleville's 'perfect' lifestyle."
- Obliviously Evil: She fails to see how drugging people against their will is not just wrong, but dangerous in her bid to "keep Circleville perfect." Of course, she was drugged herself, and the drugs may or may not be affecting her psychology in ways beyond suppressing her sexuality, leading her to spread them around to others.
- When she returns to the story, she honestly believes she's a super-hero and always has been...Though she's at least nicer then she was, with most of the problems coming from a failure to explain herself, others thinking she's planning something villainous, or her plan to take out some non-super villains.
- Oh, Crap!: Get this when her mind-controlled Mecha Maid continues her assult, despite Spinnerette having surrendered, due to Megan telling her to "Win at any costs" which apparently includes Megan's life.
- Powers Do the Fighting: She relies entirely on her drug-addled brainwashing victims to do the fighting for her. The last time she took action personally was using a gun on a completely unarmed priest. She is so utterly inept as a fighter that a small child can, and does, best her.
- Zig Zagged in her second appearance, she manages to fight Spinnerette using wrestling moves but was more of a threat due to her new giant size. Even when Spinerette got a device to go giant herself, it wasn't to the scale of Sarah's height and worked on a time limit, leaving her at a disadvantage
- School Bullying Is Harmless: What she genuinely believed when she and Heather were kids. And that being a Loving Bully was the right way to show affection. Heather replies that no, it's not.Heather:"I didn't feel 'liked', Megan. It hurt!"
- Shameless Fanservice Girl: According to Heather, the population of Circleville as a whole thought this when she posed with a tied-up shirt and unbuttoned daisy dukes for a billboard add, which cost her the title of Circleville Pumpkin Queen, which then went to Heather.Heather: It was salacious! She had her shirt tied up, you could see her belly button and everything!
- Shapeshifter Mode Lock: The watch she stole from Dr. Universe was unstable and fuses with her on a molecular level after her 2nd use, leaving her stuck in giant form.
- Sore Loser: Combined with Ungrateful Bitch, and Zerg Rush. After Spinnerette manages to take down a brainwashed Mecha Maid, without killing her, the first thing Megan does is run to the nearest microphone and tell the people of Circleville to crush Spinnerette.
- Strawman Political: For Ex-Gay ministries.
- Supreme Chef: She joined the same cooking class as Heather, and became a successful baker capable of whipping up the best darn fruit pies in southern Ohio.
- Villain with Good Publicity: She's the face of Circleville, and is heralded by the press as the image of Incorruptible Pure Pureness. In reality, she's a vicious bully who thinks nothing of drugging unconscious people who are chained to chairs, and then painting herself as the victim when her target fights back.
- We Can Rule Together: She reveals to Spinnerette that she drugged her while she was knocked out, and once the drugs kick in and she becomes family-friendly, she can have a spot on the town ruling council. In response, Spinnerette headbutts her and reveals that her altered physiology makes her resistant to all drugs intended for normal humans.
- Weaksauce Weakness: You don't need a drug resistant body to stop from being controlled by her mind controlling pies. Just don't eat them. Anyone who doesn't like pie or can't eat sweets (such as the little girl with diabetes who defeated her) will not fall under her control.
- Wrestler in All of Us: Her second appear had her adapt this fighting style when Spinnerette went giant to fight her, actually besting her twice.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Even her intentions are pretty extreme: she wants to keep Circleville free from not just crime, but things like divorce and rudeness as well. To do it, she's drugging her fruit pies which she then distributes to the population at large without warning about the contents.
- Wounded Gazelle Gambit: The moment Mecha Maid shows up on the scene, she acts as if Spinnerette is attacking her for no reason.
Bloodcrow
- Affably Evil: Bloodcrow might be a professional criminal able and willing to maim and kill those who get in his way, but his affection and eventual love for Evil Spinnerette is genuine. This doesn't make their initial romance healthy, which leads to a sound thrashing by ES after she uses his C-K supressor on him.
- Animal-Themed Superbeing: Models his costume off a corvid, with a matching beaked mask.
- Big Bad Wannabe: Super-MILF thinks of him this way, which he views as a threat to his credibility as a villain.
- Bigger Is Better in Bed: Alexis certainly thinks so after they spend the night together, with his enormous manhood allegedly being a consequence of the super soldier serum that gives him powers.
- Bribe Backfire: Bloodcrow attempts to bribe Alexis into depowering Super MILF during a next hero-vs-villain roller derby, offering her a supply of the serum to keep her human. Alexis strongly considers accepting, but despite her desire to be rid of her powers and attraction to Bloodcrow she refuses. Bloodcrow claims to respect her decision... but then goes ahead with it anyway, to her outrage.
- Canon Immigrant: Of a sort. He was introduced in book- and Patreon-exclusive stories.
- Casual Kink: When meeting Evil Spinnerette in a BDSM club, he openly admires her drider features and they end up sleeping together.
- Creepy Crows: His supervillain gimmick, as his name suggests, revolves around crows.
- Dating Catwoman: An odd variation of this, as Evil Spinnerette is not very heroic by her own admission.
- Defeat Means Respect: Following his defeat and escape, he lays in a hospital bed, realizing he may genuinely be in love with Evil Spinnerette.
- From Nobody to Nightmare: When Mecha Maid encouters Bloodcrow on her first night as a superhero, she beats him with ease. A year later, she's shown limping away from their latest fight, disbelieving that a "third rate" villain could give her trouble. Evil Spinnerette recognizes him as an A-list supervillain when she meets him.
- Heroic Build: He's revealed to be quite lean and musclebound once he takes off his shirt.
- Karmic Thief: He prefers stealing from the rich and powerful. Thinks of himself as like Robin Hood, "but without that 'gives to the poor' crap."
- Leotard of Power: Wears a rust-colored one with stitching under his cloak. It does wonders for showing off his body.
- Mercy Lead: Receives one from Evil Spinnerette following his defeat.
- Mix-and-Match Man: Bloodcrow has a sizeable burn scar across the upper half of face, the result of an explosion that blinded him. His parents paid a great deal of money to obtain new eyes, giving him heterochromia due to the eyes coming from different people. He despises this and wears a mask to hide his eyes.
- Opportunistic Bastard: After Evil Spinnerette turns down his offer to use a C-K supressing drug on Super-MILF as part of a planned heist, he plants the drug on her—along with an explosive in her skate—without her knowledge, instead planning on defeating his nemesis once and for all while she's powerless.
- Power Gives You Wings: One of his major powers is the ability to manifest corvid wings from his back.
- Super Serum: The source of his powers is a super-soldier formula.
- Supervillain Lair: His is large and opulent, complete with a gallery full of stolen art.
- White Hair, Black Heart: He has curly white hair under his cowl. He's also an unrepentant, self-righteous criminal.
- Wicked Cultured: Loves dancing to Apoptygma Berzerk. Subverted when it comes to the priceless art pieces in his lair; he values them as trophies rather than artwork.
General Hyun
General Hyun
The military commander in charge of the North Korean Metahuman Special Forces—a supersoldier program that produced White Heron, Lt. Warthog, Col. Glass, and Mecha Maid.- Alternate Self: As White Heron is set in a more serious alternate timeline than Spinnerette, he possesses a Lighter and Softer counterpart.
- Big Bad: He's the main antagonist of the White Heron webcomic.
- Boomerang Bigot: General Hyun views humans as inherently inferior to metahumans despite only being a normal human himself, and desperately seeks to use the program to give himself superpowers.
- Casual Danger Dialogue: While fighting White Heron, he casually pours himself a glass of wine while dodging her attacks and sits down to drink it while smugly calling her out on betraying North Korea to work for Captain Park, stating that he's a mass-murdering war-criminal.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: General Hyun claims to have loved Kim Jeong like she was his own daugther while sadly asking Lt. Warthog if he's ever been betrayed by someone he loves... and then undermines it by saying she must die slowly and painfully by his hands with a Slasher Smile. It's also undermined by him having almost killed her brother and taken significant amounts of her blood in the hopes of getting their powers for himself, and seriously attempting to kill her when they fight.
- Greater-Scope Villain: He was the one in charge of the North Korean super-soldier program that produced White Heron, Lt. Warthog, Col. Glass, and Mecha Maid.
- Hypocrite: He smugly calls Captain Park a mass-murdering war-criminal and says that the Republic of South Korea has massacred hundreds of innocents... despite General Hyun being in charge of a supersoldier program where he brutally murders those he considers weak links, has performed horrifying human experiments to create a super-soldier serum, and fighting for a regime willing to resort to acts of domestic terrorism to get a leg up on its enemies.
- I Just Want to Be Special: Super Supremacist that he is, General Hyun hates that he's just an ordinary human and has set his sights on gaining superpowers by any means necessary.
- Insane Admiral: General Hyun is the sociopathic social darwinist in charge of North Korea's Metahuman Special Forces. Viewing metahumans as superior to normal humans despite being one of the latter himself, he abuses the soldiers under his command—torturing Kim Pak after he's caught with South Korean contraband, then having him vivisected in an attempt to replicate and weaponize his time-bubble powers as a Super Serum when simple blood transfusions from him and Kim Jeong fail to grant him their powers. He also wastes a syringe of said Super Serum—which are in short supply due to Jeong's defection and Pak being on the brink of death (if not already dead) to kill a soldier he views as a weak link in a fit of rage upon learning that Jeong survived his attempts to recapture or silence her, declaring that she must die publicly and painfully for her treason.
- Like a Son to Me: The interrogator says that this is how General Hwang sees the metahumans under his command, but his brutal treatment of Kim Pak and anyone else he deems a weak link say otherwise. While he refers to Kim Jeong as his "treasonous daughter" and briefly looks melancholic when asking Lieutenant Warthog if he's ever been betrayed by someone he loves, he follows this up with a Slasher Smile while declaring It's Personal and that he's going to kill Kim Jeong himself "as an act of love".
- Master Swordsman: He wields a military sabre in combat and is a highly skilled swordsman, which combined with the Super-Speed granted by the super-soldier serum he developed makes him extremely dangerous in combat.
- The Sociopath: General Hyun is a ruthless social darwinist who desperately wants to become a metahuman, overseeing a super-soldier program where conscripted metahumans are pushed to their limits and indoctrinated with propaganda. Even the former Unit 731 scientist Doctor Morimoto—in charge of producing the Omega Serum—is afraid of him. When he receives word that Kim Jeong is not only alive but has joined the South Korean military, he selects the lowest-performing soldier and wastes a syringe of Omera Serum to murder him in cold blood, pours himself a glass of wine, and announces that Jeong must die in a bloody public spectacle as punishment for her treason.
- Super Supremacist: General Hyun believes that metahumans are the purest and innately superior to non-superpowered humans... despite being a normal human himself.
Minor Villains
Kugelblitz
Kugelblitz
An elderly Nazi plotting to resurrect Adolf Hitler by infusing a clone with his soul.- Apocalypse Hitler: His Evil Plan was to resurrect Hitler by cloning him and then summoning the original's soul to possess the clone.
- Bad Boss: Didn't show any compunctions to burning his henchman, Maus, to death along with his enemies.
- Berserk Button: Anything having to do with Jewish people.
- Evil Old Folks : He's a geriatric Nazi who looks like he's over 100, but he can fight with the wizardry he has learned.
- Ghostapo: The "last of the Third Reich's Sorcery Batallion" and a practitioner of "Germanic wizardry".
- Mad Scientist: Has enough knowledge of cloning to know that simply creating a genetic duplicate of a person doesn't mean creating a copy of them.
- Meaningful Name:
- His name means "Ball Lightning" in German, and in astrophysics refers to a black hole formed of energy rather than mass.
- The Flakpanzer IV Kugelblitz was an experimental self-propelled anti-aircraft gun (essentially a tank) that utilized a twin-mounted version of the MK 103 cannon - but of the five made only one was used.
- Politically Incorrect Villain: He's a Nazi and thus hates Jewish people.
- Shock and Awe: As per his name, he uses lightning magic.
- Those Wacky Nazis: Is a survivor of the Third Reich, but a relatively minor villain.
Maus
Maus
A tall and heavily muscled Nazi Super-Soldier who acts as Kugelblitz's dragon.- All Germans Are Nazis: Makes this assumption about Greta.
- The Brute: Tall, muscular, and not the brains of the outfit.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: Gets taken down in one hit by Mecha Maid.
- The Dragon: He acts as muscle for Kugelblitz, and is his second in command.
- Meaningful Name:
- The Panzer VIII Maus German tanks, which were powerful but heavy and not all that maneuverable.
- Furthermore, "Maus" is the German word for "mouse", which is quite ironic, given his size.
- Politically Incorrect Villain: Like Kugelblitz he's a Nazi and hates Jews.
- Ship Tease: Briefly flirts with Greta.
- Stupid Jetpack Hitler: He's a Nazi Super-Soldier.
- Super-Soldier: According to Kugelblitz, and it accounts for his Super-Strength.
- Those Wacky Nazis: While it's unknown if he's been around as long as Kugelblitz, he's got balls to be wearing an SS uniform in broad daylight in the 21st century USA.
Roberta Lee
Roberta Lee
The great-great-great-great-granddaughter of Robert E. Lee. She plans to clone him and raise the clone to lead the Confederates anew.- Artistic License – History:
- Has several misconceptions about her ancestor's role (and the fact that he had a Fair for Its Day view of slavery) in the Civil War. She admits to not knowing the history, and claims that as a whole that's true for American racists so the plan to clone him would've worked for that reason.
- Robert E. Lee does have living descendants. They...don't fit Roberta's description.
- Has several misconceptions about her ancestor's role (and the fact that he had a
- Badass Longcoat: She wears a trench coat along with her hat.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: Gets KO'd in one (technically two) hit by Spinnerette.
- Dark Action Girl: Is pretty handy with her sword.
- Escape Artist: Her magic enables her to open any lock.
- Hollywood Voodoo: She uses Hollywood-esque voodoo magic to fight.
- Hypocrite: She's a neo-Confederate who practices Hollywood Voodoo.
- Necromancer: She can summon zombies, but she wants to clone her ancestor because any zombie she made would be stupid.
- Politically Incorrect Villain: She's a neo-Confederate who wants to bring back her ancestor and presumably reinstate slavery.
Fireblade
Fireblade
An aspiring supervillain that attacks a bus full of kids.- Cool Shades: He has a pair of admittedly badass-looking sunglasses.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: After realizing that Sahira meant it when she said she wasn't a hero, the firemen return and deliver one to him. Specifically they hose him down and then smash his face in with a fire extinguisher.
- Diabolus ex Nihilo: He's just starting out and tried to make his first kill a group of children on a bus. Since Sahira saved them, and as far as he can tell she's a superhero, he really wants to have her become his first kill.
- Flying Firepower: He can fly while shooting fireballs, and flies specifically by creating a board made of flames and standing on it.
- Good Smoking, Evil Smoking: Displays his lackadaisical attitude by calmly lighting a cigarette right after he nearly kills a bus full of children.
- It Is Beyond Saving: His reason for trying to kill children is that he thinks they're stealing from everyone through food stamps and section 8 housing.
- Non-Indicative Name: Though he's got fire down, he has yet to use a blade of any kind thus far.
- Oh, Crap!: Doesn't say anything, but he gets the expression for it before having his face smashed in.
- Pre-Asskicking One-Liner: He tried anyway.Fireblade: I'm Fireblade. You're going to be my first kill.
- Playing with Fire: He can create and throw fireballs, and can fly as well.
- Pyromaniac: Fitting given his abilities.
- Retcon: A subtle one that was missed for a few days. His name was Flameblade for about an hour or so before it was changed to Fireblade. And were it not for a couple of comments posted on the strip in that time mentioning the original name, and a few times on the next strip's comments, this likely would've gone unnoticed.
- Strawman Political: Sort of. While Dr. Universe tries his best to be a true Objectivist (and arguably a better one than Ayn Rand ever could have been), Fireblade is essentially a psychopath who justifies his hate for others based on right-wing libertarianism. Such people do exist, plentifully, in real life (at least one existed, unnamed to history, in Rand's circle) but the vast majority of them aren't about to actually go out and kill someone over it. They also don't have superpowers, but when has that stopped anyone in real life?
- Too Dumb to Live: Averted. He was winding up to throw some fire at the firemen, only to have them throw a fire extinguisher at him. Instead of risking it exploding in his face, he let it hit him and got his face smashed in, knocking him out cold.
- Would Hurt a Child: En masse. He lit a school bus full of children on fire.
Delta Wave
Delta Wave/Justin
A young man with dream altering powers.- Battle Harem: Once Spinny realizes they're in a dream, Delta has Evil Spinnerette, Katt, and the rest attack Spinny.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Downplayed. While the overly polite, shy Nice Guy behavior he exudes is just a front, he's not particularly evil, he just got carried away.
- Black and Nerdy: Has a Geek Physique, Nerd Glasses, and an unhealthy obsession with anime and superhero girls. Though it's been pointed out in-universe that he doesn't seem particularly smart.
- Compelling Voice: Uses this to control weaker minds trapped by his dream powers.
- Don't Tell Mama: After being defeated, he begs Spinnerette not to tell his mother about his actions.
- Dream Weaver: His superpower is to control dreams. With it, he traps and brainwashes Spinnerette into believing she's a character in a cliche-riddled harem anime world. When she realizes what's really going on, he drops the whole act and starts showing his full mastery over the dream reality.
- Easily Forgiven: Downplayed - although Spinnerette does let him off with nothing but a couple of slaps to the face and an order to get a girlfriend, he did technically save her life and didn't cause her any lasting harm with his dream shenanigans.
- New Transfer Student: He's introduced playing this role.
- Not Evil, Just Misunderstood: He invokes this when Spinnerette calls him a super villain and starts pummeling him.Justin: I'm not a supervillain, I'm just misguided.
- Obliviously Evil: He's not intentionally malicious, but he really doesn't seem to be aware that there's something very disturbing about taking an unconscious girl home instead of to the hospital and using her to live out his sexual fantasies via her dreams.
- Occidental Otaku: He's apparently a huge fan of harem anime cliches.
- Scary Black Man: Played with. He poses as a fairly wimpy kid in dreams, but can come across as menacing once he breaks out the Compelling Voice. In the real world, he really is a completely powerless wimp.
- You Need to Get Laid: Spinnerette tells him this after she escapes from the dream world because it would be a less creepy way for him to act out his sexual fantasies than manipulating some girl's dreams.
- Yuri Fan: Deconstructed, as Spinnerette, an actual bisexual, is clearly not amused that he would consider her sexual preferences to be entertainment.
The Sheilas
Sheila and Sheila
Australian twin sisters, both named Sheila.- Artistic License – Biology: They apparently take inspiration from Noah's Ark since they only release two of each species under the impression that will be enough to result in a stable population and destroy America's ecological balance.
- Artistic License – History: They claim America introduced the cane toad to Australia. It was actually the Australian government - specifically the Bureau of Sugar Experiment Stations - that introduced the cane toads from Hawaii in an effort to get rid of a native Australian species, the cane beetle.
- A Taste of Their Own Medicine: They plan to introduce native Australian animals to America's ecosystem, where they have no natural predators and will quickly flood the land. They claim this is payback for America doing the same thing to Australia with cane toads, which if you look at Artistic License – History above, is way off the mark.
- Battle Boomerang: They wield boomerangs (labelled "KARMA") that hit hard enough to injure Mecha Maid through her armor.
- Book Dumb: As stated above they know nothing about how ecology works or the history of their country. They're just idiotic eco-terrorists working off assumptions and having lucked into a little bit of power.
- Identical Twin ID Tag: One of them wears a blue ribbon in her hair, the other wears a red ribbon.
- Introduced Species Calamity: Trying to cause one in America using Australian species, in retaliation for all the American invasive species ravaging Australia. Fortunately they're not too bright.
- Land Down Under: They're Australian eco-terrorists who think a very small sample of their fauna is capable of annihilating the North American midwest's ecological stability.
- Musical Assassin: The blue-ribboned Sheila wields a didgeridoo capable of creating sonic waves loud enough to break glass. Unfortunately for her, Mecha Maid has a bit of a problem when it comes to glass shards...
- No Ontological Inertia: If anything happens to incapacitate Bruce, they revert to human form.
- Not-So-Harmless Villain: When introduced, they were a couple of moronic Australian ecoterrorists who were defeated with relative ease. After they transform, they pitch Spinnerette over the horizon and beat Mecha Maid up enough that she seriously considers using lethal force against them.
- Our Werewolves Are Different: You know that one quokka that Spinnerette and Mecha Maid couldn't find? His name is Bruce, and he can use his Psychic Powers to turn the Sheilas into ferocious were-quokkas.Blue-Ribboned Sheila: We'll tear Mecha Maid to bloody shreds!
- Right for the Wrong Reasons: Inverted. Releasing all those animals may not have been sufficient to cause an ecological apocalypse. Still unleashing a large number of wild animals near a highway could easily cause serious injury or death, not to mention massive property damage as drivers try to avoid them and crash.
- Stupid Crooks:
Word of God is that they're not the smartest fish in the barrel, failing at ecology and history, and their plan to destabilize the ecology of the American Midwest is laughable. Fortunately for them, Spinnerette's not the smartest of heroes and panics at the idea of a couple of kangaroos having free reign of the place due to being much too fast for the local black bears to catch, let alone the "horrific damage" a breeding pair of koalas or quokkas could do. They become more competent (at fighting) once they transform. - Synchronization: The quokka, Bruce, can uses his power to turn them into were-quokkas. But any damage that comes to him reflects on the girls as well. Spinnerette manages to beat them by feeding Bruce chocolate, knowing it was poisonous to animal which caused the Shelias to pass out (Though Spinny quickly resuscitated Bruce not long after).
- What the Hell, Hero?: The blue-ribboned Sheila triggers Marilyn's PTSD and was gunned down with rubber bullets. The red-ribboned Sheila initially thinks her sister's been killed and yells at Spinnerette.
Lt. Warthog
Lt. Warthog
A North Korean super soldier dispatched to hunt down Kim Jeong when she defected.- An Arm and a Leg: One of his hands gets blasted off by an anti-materiel rifle.
- The Brute: Lieutenant Warthog is a North Korean metahuman supersoldier whose main powers are superhuman strength and durability—compounded by his enormous size and bulk. While not stupid per sae, he's brutal in a fight and prefers to crush his opponents in melee combat.
- Cain and Abel: He considers himself to be Kim Jeong's older brother. He's also a ruthless supersoldier who takes pleasure in beating Kim up.
- Super-Soldier: He's a North Korean soldier with Class 5 C-K powers, and is presumably a product of the same program that produced Colonel Glass and Mecha Maid.
- Super-Strength: He was strong enough to jump dozens of feet and turn a bridge into a crater with a single punch.
- Super-Speed: He was fast enough to keep up with Kim Jeong, who was running at a good 80 kilometres per hour.
Wendy G
A wendigo acting as Betty Brown's Lola Rue coach, and the antagonist of Issue 31.
- Black Eyes of Crazy: It possesses jet-black sclera, icy blue irises, and vertically-slitted pupils.
- Corrupt Corporate Executive: Betty introduces Wendy G as her Lola Rue coach, though it's later revealed the entity is possessing her.
- Demonic Possession: It possesses Betty Brown using her desire to be the breadwinner of her family, exacerbating her ambition into all-consuming greed.
- Fangs Are Evil: It has a mouth with tattered lips and cheeks, exposing fangs.
- Greed: Fitting with Algonquain mythology, Wendy G is excessively greedy and furious when the sales of Lola Rue products slip by even a percentile.
- An Ice Person: Wendy G and those it possesses can create and manipulate ice, using this to incapacitate opponents.
- Kill It with Fire: On the receiving end. Sheriff Brown traps it in the Browns' storage shed and then lobs a road flare in. After pounding on the heavy steel doors for a little bit, silence follows and he and Heather open it to find all that remains is a charred corpse.
- Lean and Mean: Wendy G is emaciated to the point where its practically a skeleton with skin stretched over it; and is a dark spirit of hunger, greed, and ice.
- Louis Cypher: Its name is "Wendy G", and it's a wendigo.
- Overly-Long Tongue: It has a black serpentine tongue that protrudes from its mouth.
- Sadly Mythtaken: It has antlers, hoofed feet, and a tail — traits absent from Native American depictions of Wendigo that were added by Pop Culture Osmosis.
- Transformation of the Possessed: Betty starts sprouting claws and antlers as its control over her increases.
- Would Hurt a Child: Compels Betty to attack the child of one of her clients as retribution for the client's sales declining.
