The Mighty Mite is an independent superhero comic created by CB Zane and released through his Outpost 426 Studios.
After being exposed to a dangerous substance called Quantium, diminutive high-school senior Pressley Pagette becomes the pint-sized powerhouse called Mighty Mite. Now she finds herself thrust into the world of professional superheroics.
This series contains examples of:
- Alliterative Name: Mighty Mite's civilian name is Pressley Pagette.
- Dishing Out Dirt: In the first issue, Mite battles Wil-Der-Ness, who resembles a walking mountain but is actually a construct created by Liam Belling, who exposed himself to Quantium as a last-ditch attempt to cure his cancer but instead ended up with geokinetic and florokinetic powers.
- Fun with Acronyms: Mighty Mite works for QUEST, which stands for Quantium Emergency Support Team.
- Gosh Darn It to Heck!: Mite betrays her small-town origins by using minor curses like "golly" instead of rougher language.
- Radiation-Immune Mutants: Lampshaded. Most people who are exposed to Quantium end up suffering horrible deaths, but a few lucky folks, like Pressley Pagette and Liam Belling, get superpowers.
- Unexplained Recovery: The first issue ends with Liam Belling, who exposed himself to Quantium in an attempt to cure his cancer, going into remission, even though he was stage four prior to exposure.
