That's one kiss you'll never remember.
Ghost Kiss is a webcomic created by Jake Richmond in 2015 and has crossovers with his other work, Modest Medusa, and has it's own section on his website.
Mya is a young super heroine called Ghost Kiss who operates out of Portland, Oregon. She doesn't have super strength, or speed, or even fancy gadgets. Instead she has the power to make people forget all about her with a kiss. She must manage her superhero life with her civilian life all the while being careful not to accidentally use her powers on someone.

Tropes featured in this webcomic:
- Attackof The 50 Foot Whatever: Stellatron is a giant robot who went on a rampage in downtown Portland.
- Black Dude Dies First: The first onscreen death in the comic is a random black guy named Tom swallowed by the Ghost Shark. Subverted when he turns out to still be alive after the shark is defeated, if a bit cold.
- Crossover: Ghost Kiss seems to share a universe with Modest Medusa. In one chapter Ghost Kiss speaks to Ms. Brook's class, though Modest herself wasn't there.
- The Ghost Shark was originally summoned by the mermaids before being banished by the mermaid hunters. Lonesome Ocean managed to turn up, even though the Prince destroyed it.
- The Ghost Shark was originally summoned by the mermaids
- Deus Exit Machina: While Adventure Man in Europe, Ghost Kiss must face rank A super villain Volcana with only police, firefighters, and construction workers as backup.
- Empty Piles of Clothing: When the Ghost Shark swallows someone it leaves their clothes behind.
- Evil Is Petty: Volcana seems to of taken the PDX Daily staff hostage just to get at Mya.
- Fights Like a Normal: Ghost Kiss' ability has some natural limitations that limits it's use in a fight. As a result Mya trains her body and practices martial arts.
- Flat Character: A number of the villains aren't really given any characterization such as Stellatron or The Eel and we never learn what they are even after.
- I Have No Son!: Thanks to her Laser-Guided Amnesia, Mya's mother refuses to believe she is her daughter despite her husband's claims to the contrary.
- Laser-Guided Amnesia: Mya's power. Anyone she kisses or even consumes her saliva will forget they ever met her. Naturally this has left more than a few people with gaps in their memory.
- This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman: Stellatron is a giant robot that will drain the powers of superheroes that get to close. Needing to stab him with a magic spear and unable to do it himself, Adventure Man gives the staff to Ghost Kiss and drops her on him.
- Power Incontinence: Mya can't turn off her powers, meaning she has to be careful not to kiss others and freaks out when someone tries to drink out of her straw.
- Super Registration Act: There is a ranking system for superheroes and villains. Mya is upgraded from rank F to D early on, which gets her a NSA implant, allowing her handler to provide her with tactical support, but also keep and eye on her.
- What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: Gina repeatedly questions how useful the ghost kiss power is, as it requires her to kiss her opponent to use it and even then it doesn't grant her a win.
