Donna Limber is a superhero webcomic by Draco Dragite on DeviantArt. The story follows Donna Lymber, a young woman who gains super-stretching powers from a chemical created by an alien robot. Now, she fights villains under the name Donna Limber!


This superhero webcomic contains the following tropes:

  • Brainless Beauty: She is drop-dead gorgeous, no doubt about it. However, she is also quite the airhead who tends to not think things through most of the time. She relies on her best friend Valerie, her robot sidekick Tau, and other bystanders to think for her.
  • Cute Clumsy Girl: Donna tends to get into plenty of accidents which her powers make it quite difficult to avoid. But apparently, she was already this even before her powers as she mentioned her friend Valerie never lets her do jumping jacks.
  • Curiosity Is a Crapshoot: The story started because Donna ate a strange chemical that turned her into a Rubber Woman, thinking it was candy.
  • Cuteness Proximity: The Cubots are tiny robots whom Donna thinks are adorable, much to their irritation due to wanting to be taken seriously as cosmic defenders of the multiverse.
  • Deus est Machina: The Cupio System is a massive computer system that creates the Cubots to gather information from various dimensions. Reportedly, it's powerful enough to rewrite the laws of physics but is currently in sleep mode.
  • Dumbass Has a Point: Lambda is an idiot who causes several problems for the heroes early on, but he makes a good argument for Donna being allowed to keep her powers and help the Cubots. All of his siblings are amazed and baffled that he came up with a good idea.
  • How Do I Shot Web?: Donna naturally has some issues learning to control her powers. It takes her five weeks of relative time to manage normal movement again, let alone using her powers in combat.
  • Idiot Heroine: Donna Limber aspires to be a superheroine but she is not the smartest, leading to her making a fool of herself more often than not and causing more problems than she solves.
  • Minor Injury Overreaction: Even though her powers allow her to be smashed, squashed, and sliced up without any permanent damage, she still winces at being hurt even if it just a paper cut.
  • Powerful, but Incompetent: Donna may be able to stretch herself into any shape she can imagine and is virtually impossible to injure. But she has the intelligence of a goldfish and tends to cry like a baby at the slightest injury. Most of her fights against supervillains usually start with them playing around with her like a toy until she figures out a way to defeat them.
  • Rubber Man: Donna's powers allow her to stretch and morph her body like crazy.
  • Year Inside, Hour Outside: Donna spends the equivalent of five weeks with the Cubots learning to deal with her powers, but on Earth, it was less than a day.
