Line #17 Webcomic/SatinSteele


1	''Satin Steele'' is a webcomic series by David C. Matthews (creator of ''Webcomic/{{Tetsuko}}''). It follows Janet ("Satin") Steele, a professional female [[UsefulNotes/{{Bodybuilding}} bodybuilder]] who finds herself caught up in situations that hint at a grand conspiracy behind them. It is not published on a regular schedule, but “whenever a page is finished” (to quote the creator).

9	----
10	!!The comic contains examples of:
11	%%* AmazonianBeauty: Satin herself
12	%%* AmazonChaser: Matt, Satin's boyfriend
13	* BerserkButton: Satin gets rather angry when a Tiger's Paw goon [[spoiler: stated his aim to frame Satin for murder by portraying her as "steroid-crazed".]]
14	* CharacterDevelopment: Janet has come a long way from her days as a relatively naive rookie as seen in ''Contest Jitters''. She is still good-hearted, but knows when to become a Guile Heroine.
15	* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Satin has no superpowers to speak of. Instead, she relies on her strength and flexibility (and her karate lessons) to do her stuff.
16	* ClothingDamage: Satin's dress gets ripped up in ''Bloodpaw''.
17	%%* TheConspiracy: Tiger's Paw is one.
18	* DemBones: The dinosaur bones in ''Bones'' [[spoiler: come to life due to an alien device]].
19	%%* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The leader of Tiger's Paw.
20	* GenreShift: Compared to Janet's past in ''Webcomic/ContestJitters'', her adventures here are otherwordly.
21	* EverythingFades: Tiger's Paw equipment and personnel does this when they are destroyed or killed.
22	* GuileHeroine: Janet on at least two occasions.
23	** In ''Bones'', [[spoiler: after watching a reanimated giant dinosaur skeleton hastily avoiding a tank shot to its skull, she correctly deduced that the skull is worth further investigation.]]
24	** In ''Bloodpaw'', [[spoiler: she faked a blackout to get an alien monster to drop her prematurely and write her off from the fight.]]
25	* HeKnowsTooMuch: Joe Taylor has dug up much about Tiger's Paw. His final fate? [[spoiler: See MakeItLookLikeAnAccident.]]
26	* HumansAreBastards: The Mistress thinks so, and regards Satin as a great danger due to her heroism, which could inspire others to follow her example.
27	* MakeItLookLikeAnAccident: How [[spoiler:Joe Taylor]] was killed. [[spoiler: Tiger's Paw sent an alien creature to jump onto his windscreen, distracting him long enough for his car to crash into a tree.]]
28	* MusclesAreMeaningful: Contrary to how bodybuilders may not be very strong in RealLife (see the analysis [[Analysis/StoutStrength here]]), Janet's strength is depicted to come from her physique.
29	* PunnyName: Janet's stage name. No SilkHidingSteel here; Janet is obviously ''both'' Silk and Steel.
30	* SheFu: Satin incorporates gymnastic moves in her fights. As ''Contest Jitters'' reveals, she had an extensive background in gymnastics.
31	* SmugSnake: Morgana deVries, who generally has a smug look. In ''Backstage Battle'', [[spoiler: she defies the Mistress and sends a team of goons to capture Satin. After its failure, the Mistress strips her of authority.]]
32	* StageName: Janet goes by the name "Satin" in public.
33	* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: In ''Backstage'', Janet asked Matt to tape ''[[Series/TwinPeaks Twin Peaks]]'' for her, while in ''Bloodpaw'', Janet and Matt were watching ''Skin Deep''. A VHS system was also prominently displayed in ''Bloodpaw''.
