* {{Expy}}: Several characters. 'Mazing girl is ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} (though she has powers closer to the '40s Franchise/{{Superman}} and seems closer in scope to that). Knighthawk is Franchise/{{Batman}}, The Flame is Radio/TheShadow, and Knife Girl seems to be ComicBook/GreenArrow. Meanwhile, Deca is Doctor Doom, Mysterion is, well, [[Franchise/SpiderMan Mysterion]], and Professor Milner seems to be [[Franchise/{{Batman}} the Scarecrow]]. That they live in a world where all of this actually exists is occasionally just outright stated.

Long red hair to her waspish waist, cape, long red pants tapered at the leg (it was easy to run in), high-heels (fantasy), the domino mask that obscured her face... and by the way, a tank-top with her ‘Mazing symbol on it. Except this one had her top cropped to show off her sleek well formed abs, the tapering breasts that defied gravity, and slim well muscled arms."''

* NewOldFlameL Chad in "Weirder Spreadsheets of Love." Though it turns out he's less of an old flame, but a guy she had sex with in order to help his popularity.

Sarah Jennings is a prop master working in LosAngeles working on USA Network Television. She's a bit of a nerd, plump, likes to paint TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}} figurines. Pleasant, basically sweet, if a tad irresponsible. She likes to clap before eating burritos. She is also the strongest, most powerful super in the western United States. Maybe the world.

->She looked about 22. Long red hair to her waspish waste, cape, long red pants tapered at the leg (it was easy to run in), high-heels (fantasy), the domino mask that obscured her face... and by the way, a tank-top with her ‘Mazing symbol on it. Except this one had her top cropped to show off her sleek well formed abs, the tapering breasts that defied gravity, and slim well muscled arms.
