Don't Meddle with My Daughter! (Uchi no musume ni te o dasu na! note ) is a manga series by Nozomu Tamaki of Dance in the Vampire Bund fame, which ran in Young Comic from 2014 to 2015. Seven Seas Entertainment licensed the manga for US release.
The story revolves around retired superheroine, Athena Haruka, or as she used to be known: "The Eighth Wonder". Despite being the world's greatest superheroine, she decided to lead a normal life as a single mother and has spent the last 20 years raising her daughter, Clara. But, as fate would have it, the villainous organization Athena thought she vanquished long ago (known as "Blowjob"), has "risen" once again. Worse, she finds out Clara has taken up her mantle as the new Eighth Wonder, which spurs Athena out of retirement to help her daughter from the sidelines.
However, Athena has to do it without Clara finding out, since she doesn't know her mother was the original Eighth Wonder. Athena hid it from her, because there were dark and embarrassing secrets about her superhero career she'd rather Clara not know about...
Fair warning to anyone interested in reading the manga: It's an adult parody of the superhero genre. Meaning, it's NSFW.
Don't Meddle with My Daughter! provide examples of:
- Affectionate Parody: Of the superhero and the hentai genre. Although the latter being an intentional parody is unclear.
- All Men Are Perverts: A lot of the male civilians let their hormones overrule their sense of decency.
- Suffering years of perversion and sexual harassment is what forced Athena to retire. It wasn't just her enemies either, the public she was protecting took every opportunity to gawk at her.
- In chapter 1, Athena's costume gets destroyed during a fight. Two men immediately pull out their cellphones to take pictures of her and later upload it on the internet. Fortunately, she managed to obscure her face.
- The JGSDF soldiers offer no resistance to the mind-controlled plant women (chapter 2). They drop their weapons and engage in a public orgy with them.
- The news crew that was covering Clara's encounter with Point Blank wasn't any better. They filmed her while she was naked and unconscious after she was gunned down and intended to sell the video. Point Blank notices the news copter and shoots it down in contempt.
- All Women Are Lustful: Despite being a frequent victim of sexual assault, it's shown that Athena isn't always unwilling. It's worse for Clara because she's a virgin and has spent years repressing her hormones because she's put off by anything having to do with sex. But once she finally acts on them, she ravishes the entire staff at N.U.D.E. HQ!
- Barbie Doll Anatomy: Averted. All female nipples are shown and Nozomu finds ways of showing their nether regions. Such as placing emphasis on their camel toe through their tights, whereas penises are usually silhouetted in white.
- Battle Couple:
- Athena and BM, met and fell in love 20 years prior to the start of the series. They eventually reunite, in time to save their daughter from being publicly executed.
- Clara's doesn't happen until the epilogue doujinshi series, where she finally hooks up with Mei. They've teamed up to defeat Phantom Spector and, in "Uncanny Eighth Wonder no.2", they take down Athena via tag-team seduction.
- Belated Happy Ending: The attraction between Clara and Mei was limited to subtext in the series proper. But the three-chapter bonus story "Honey, Hold me Tightly!" made it official., Both girls confess their feelings for each other and consummate their relationship.
- Big Bad: Zenovia leads the main villainous organization, "Blowjob".
- Big Entrance: Clara likes to make flashy entrances before she begins fighting. Athena and Point Blank both tell her it's stupid since it gives her enemy a chance to strike first.
- Black Comedy Rape:
- In chapter 2, the giant plant monster makes the mistake of raping Athena. But her immense strength, combined with her pent-up libido, made her cum so hard that the plant couldn't contain the energy from it; causing it to explode!
- Mei's conscience literally rapes itself when her shoulder demon rapes her shoulder angel to get her to stop trying to convince Mei not to transform into her evil alter ego.
- Bondage Is Bad:
- During chapters 9-11, Zenovia uses S&M style torture devices to reduce Artemis and Athena to being Sex Slaves. She even makes them wear leather bondage suits that each includes a dildo and butt plug harness.
- Mei's evil alter-ego, Honey, is a bondage-themed supervillain with the power over soul latex.
- Bond Villain Stupidity: When Zenovia captures Clara in chapter 15 she chooses to let monsters rape Clara instead of just instantly executing her. Zenovia also captures Athena multiple times but chooses to humiliate her rather than just kill her.
- Bridal Carry: Chapter six ends with Clara carrying Mei in her arms and taking her to a cake shop instead of going to school. Mei's embarrassed and worried people will see them but Clara doesn't care.
- Bridge Bunnies: Jun, Kisara, and Risa are among the few recurring members of N.U.D.E. and are Clara's closest friends in the organization.
- Brother–Sister Incest:
- In chapter 9, Artemis challenges her sister Athena to a duel to decide whether she and Clara would have to return to Hypertopia with her. The match is even, until Athena gains the upper hand by seducing her. Artemis concedes the match, though she calls Athena out for using such a shameful tactic.
- A bonus page from "The MILF of Steel Returns" shows Athena and Artemis having sex, while wearing the plugsuits given to them by Zenovianote .
- Bullying a Dragon: You'd think Blowjob would know better than to underestimate Athena, but...
- In chapter 2, Athena gets caught by a giant plant monster that feeds off sexual energy, except the energy released by her orgasm ends up being too much for it; causing it to exploede.
- The "MILF of Steel" epilogue begins with Athena being raped by her nemesis Heavy Metal. He was so busy gloating that it didn't occur to him that she could still fight back. Big mistakenote .
- Can't Stop the Signal: When Athena was a heroine, she was constantly subjected to sexual harassment from Blowjob's forces. N.U.D.E was able to cover up those incidents and silence any witnesses, but that was before the prevalence of smartphones, the Internet, and social media. Now video of any such incident would spread too quickly to contain, which is why Athena is determined not to let that happen to Clara.
- Captain Ersatz: Massive Girl, a minor character, looks nearly identical to She-Hulk.
- Chekhov's Army: The Eighth Wonder cosplayers from chapter 3 come back in chapter 10 and have an I Am Spartacus moment.
- Child by Rape:
- Near the end of chapter 16, Athena's husband BM is revealed to be Zenovia's son. She became pregnant with him as a result of repeatedly being raped during top-secret experiments that were conducted by the Japanese government.
- Discussed and ultimately averted, during the "MILF of Steel" epilogue story. As Heavy Metal rapes Athena for the second time in her life, he gloats about the time he and the rest of her enemies did the same thing to her 20 years prior. He's also aware that Athena gave birth to Clara sometime after the incident, leading him to wonder if he might be the father. It's at that point that Athena sets him straight, just before killing him.
- Clark Kenting: Neither Clara nor her mother Athena wears masks with their superhero costumes. Yet, no one besides N.U.D.E. realizes they're the Eighth Wonders, despite their faces being plastered all over television.
- Clothing Damage: Every chapter.
- Clara's body is able to take multiple hits from Point Blank but her costume gets completely destroyed.
- Athena seems to have gotten her costume burnt fighting St.Elmo.
- Create Your Own Villain: During the events of chapter 16, Hana explains what led Zenovia to become a villainess. She was shot down by the Chinese military when she descended to Earth, but her unconscious body landed in Japan where she was taken captive by their government. They ran top-secret experiments on her in an attempt to extract the secret of her power. But her body was too resilient to be pierced by their instruments, so they resorted to breeding her with the supervillains they captured. Each time she was successfully impregnated, her ovum was extracted and the process was repeated until they had an army of super beings. Which is how the Japanese government created Blowjob. She was pregnant with Point Blank, who was her last child, at the time she was rescued. Though she settled into a peaceful life with him, the ordeal left her bitter towards the people of Earth. So when Lady Death Stinger offered her the chance for revenge, Zenovia welcomed it.
- Darkest Hour: A short story in "MILF of Steel" shows just how badly N.U.D.E. was losing against Blowjob, during the time Athena had retired. It's also shown that Hanna was raped on the battlefield by one of their generals, after a failed skirmish.
- Dark Secret:
- During her days as a superheroine, Athena was often the victim of sexual harassment and rape. It's the reason she's kept her past hidden from her daughter, out of fear of what Clara might think of her.
- Near the end of chapter 16, Hana explains that the Japanese government bred Zenovia with captured supervillains, to create offspring with superpowers. But they couldn't market the results publicly, so they created Blowjob as a way to showcase their abilities. It eventually resulted in the indictment of multiple high-ranking officials, 20 years later.
- Defeat by Modesty:
- Back when Athena was the Eighth Wonder, she was naïve and bashful about her body, which made sexually molesting her Blowjob's primary "go to" tactic. That was then. Trying it now is more likely to piss her off and get the offender hurt. Badly.
- Artemis is a virgin and a paragon of cleanliness. A fact which Athena weaponizes against her in chapter 9, but Zenovia does far worse.
- Distracted by the Sexy:
- The Reflection is able to spy on Athena completely undetected until he sees her masturbating. He's so mesmerized by the sight he fails to realize the door to the closet he's hiding in is opening. Athena spots him and knocks him out.
- Point Blank challenges Athena to a duel in chapter 7, but when she shows up wearing a string bikini, he decides to postpone the match since he wouldn't be able to focus.
- Despite her prudishness, Clara isn't exempt either. In "Honey, Hold me Tightly pt.3", the sight of Mei's hips and her plump hindquarters caused the parasite to immediately react to Clara's hidden urges. Mei suddenly finds herself pinned against the wall, as Clara takes her virginity from behind.
- Double Standard: Rape, Female on Female:
- The earliest example happens in chapter 2 when the plant women swarm Clara. One is seen performing oral sex on her, while the others hold her legs and cape to keep her from flying away. Except Clara is shown blushing and biting down on her own finger in pleasure.
- Mei gets raped in the school's infirmary by Clara, 'til Mei finally passes out from a combination of exhaustion and extreme pleasure. The same thing happens to Risa, Kisara, and Jun, only minutes later at N.U.D.E. HQ. By the time Athena arrives to answer the distress call, all three are found unconscious and stripped naked on the floor, along with all of the other female agents.
- Clara is found in the act of taking Sister Velocity's chastity, then follows that up by thoroughly ravishing her own mother! All of it is played for girl-on-girl fanservice and concludes with all her victims forgiving her for it since she wasn't herself at the time.
- Doujinshi: Nozomu Tamaki made some erotic doujinshi of this series, short stories in which some happened after the official manga series ended.
- Ecchi: It's a series about a voluptuous superheroine and her daughter, with Athena often being the victim of sexual harassment and rape. Whereas Clara and her aunt, Artemis, are mainly used for girl-on-girl scenes. The sequel doujinshi graduate to full-on Porn with Plot territory.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Point Blank may be ruthless but when he sees a cameraman trying to get footage of Clara, who’s unconscious and naked, he shoots the cameraman’s helicopter down.
- Expy: A number of characters are based on other superheroes and villains
- Athena and Clara are heavily inspired by Power Girl and Supergirl with some backstory from Wonder Woman. The former pair have similar haircuts, body figures, costumes, powersets, otherworldly origins, and a similar relationship to each other as with Power Girl and Supergirl. They also come from an Amazon-like place, having similar nicknames, and both are meant to succeed as queens like Diana (though Athena takes more from Diana's mother, Hippolyta).
- Hanna is clearly modelled after Black Widow, from her hairstyle to her catsuit, but she fills Nick Fury's role instead. She's the leader of N.U.D.E. just like Fury leads SHIELD and both wear an eyepatch.
- Mr. Tentacles, a Blowjob member who's a Mad Scientist and uses mechanical tentacles similar to Doctor Octopus from Spider-Man.
- Fanservice: The series is Ecchi so this is to be expected in the truckloads.
- Finger Firearms: Point Blank appears to shoot something out of his fingers but he's really using them as reticles. He shoots a super precise and devastating wave of psychokinesis at his enemies using his fingers to concentrate on where to hit. Athena's late husband B.M. the Shooter had the same power. It's not a coincidence.
- Flying Brick: Both Athena and Clara have the typical set of superpowers Flight, Super-Strength, Nigh-Invulnerability, and a couple of others like Heat Vision.
- Forced Orgasm: This is how Athena chose to defeat her sister, Artemis, during their duel in chapter 9. Since they were evenly matched in direct combat, Athena gains the upper hand by suddenly making out with her and subsequently 69ing with her 'til her sister climaxed. It gets a full page spread, complete with lightning bolts in the background, amidst Artemis' screams.
- Fun with Acronyms: The main heroes work for Next Ultimate Defense Exports (N.U.D.E.). Though in Chapter 1, Jun agrees with Athena that it's an embarrassing name.
- Generation Xerox: Not only has Clara inherited her mother's powers, but she looks so much like Athena did in her youth that only close examination of archived photosnote reveals that she is not the same person.
- Hero of Another Story: The doujin MILF of Steel Forever ends with Athena bringing in the gang of budding young supervillains and scaring them into not wanting to use their superpowers anymore. However, one young man, who was bullied by the others to use his paralyzing saliva to commit crimes, becomes a cadet, and the ending narration states that years later, he took on the moniker of Spitball and became one of NUDE's top agents, as he used his ability to accomplish his missions without bloodshed.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Athena's husband and Clara's father, the masked hero B.M. the Shooter, blew up Blowjob's airship to prevent it from crashing into a city of millions while was onboard. Athena wasn't able to reach him in time to save him, a failure that has haunted her ever since. Time Travel helps to set things right.
- Hot Gods: Applies to Athena and her sister, Artemis, who are revealed to be the actual Greek goddesses in the flesh, during chapter 9. Which makes Clara a demigoddess, being the offspring of a goddess and a mortalnote . All three are portrayed as nubile and scantily clad, with Athena being acknowledged In-Universe as a MILF, who's constantly lusted after and sexually assaulted by Blowjob's forces.
- Hotter and Sexier: The manga is borderline hentai as it is, but still it dared to go further, after the series ended Nozomu Tamaki went on to make some doujinshi out of it, these self-published extended epilogues (they happen after the series' end) contain more detailed portrayals of sex and penetration befitting of a hentai manga.
- I Am Spartacus: In chapter 10 Clara is blackmailed into facing an opponent who can reveal all of her secrets. Then the Eighth Wonder cosplayers from an earlier chapter all join her and all claim to be the real Eighth Wonder.
- Identical Stranger: Point Blank looks exactly like Athena's husband and Clara's father, the hero B.M. the Shooter. He even has the same power. Athena immediately dismisses the notion that they could be the same person since Point Blank is around Clara's age and he's a ruthless villain, while B.M. was a heroic and loving man who sacrificed himself stopping one of Blowjob's plans. Their initial theory is that Blowjob cloned B.M. Point Blank actually is B.M. the Shooter. Time Travel is involved.
- Idiot Hero: Clara is naive to a fault in a lot of situations, and rather gullible. However, other than Athena, she's the only one capable of standing up against Blowjob.
- I Have You Now, My Pretty: Weaponized by most of the villains that fight Athena and Clara.
- I Just Want to Be Normal: Athena only came out of retirement to secretly help Clara. She doesn't want herself or Clara to become superheroes.
- Imposter Forgot One Detail: The media are eventually able to figure out that Clara isn't the same Eighth Wonder as the one 20 years ago, because that original Eighth had much bigger breasts.
- Invisibility Cloak: Blowjob's Invisible Scout Tank. It can turn invisible and even elude Eighth Wonder's x-ray vision.
- Irony:
- Athena spends the entire series worried that her daughter might have her virginity stolen by pervy supervillains. It never occurred to her that Clara would choose to give her virginity to them. Or that the lucky supervillain would be a dominatrix.
- There's also the fact that Athena repeatedly has to protect Clara's virtue, but hers gets taken by Clara (who's secretly horny for her own mom). Twice.
- Killed to Uphold the Masquerade: Whoever Point Blank is, he has some kind of connection to Athena's late husband. The Reflection, before being transferred to prison, was about to tell Athena this but is shot and killed by Point Blank before he could say anything.
- Knight of Cerebus: The first couple of chapters are fairly light-hearted until the end of chapter four where Point Blank kills The Reflection, and then in the next chapter grievously wounds several superheroes including Clara. And to complicate things it's heavily implied that he has some connection to Athena's late husband.
- Kryptonite Factor: In her younger days, Athena was extremely modest; making her vulnerable to sexual harassment. Fast forward 20 years later, now that she's older. She'll still be embarrassed by it, but it's more likely to piss her off.
- Legacy Immortality: Because Clara looks like a younger version of her mother the public, Blowjob, and even a few agents at N.U.D.E think that the current Eighth Wonder and the one 20 years ago are the same person.
- Leotard of Power: Much like the main two characters, the majority of the female superheroines and villainesses wear leotard outfits.
- Living Shadow: The Reflection, a member of Blowjob, who can flatten himself and blend into other people's shadows. This makes him perfect for spying and stalking.
- Living with the Villain: Clara's best friend and classmate, Mei, is actually the villainess, Honey "the Hugger". However, neither of them is aware of it since it's Mei's Superpowered Evil Side, and she has no recollection of her transformations.
- Locked Out of the Loop: Clara is one of the few characters working for N.U.D.E who doesn’t know Athena was the Eighth Wonder. N.U.D.E agents are instructed not to tell her but some of them are surprised she hasn’t figured it out on her own. The signs are everywhere.
- Luke, I Am Your Father: Point Blank is Clara's father, B.M. the Shooter due to Time Travel. When she finds out, she's upset by the idea of considering someone who is only biologically two years older than her to be her father.
- Mama Bear: The series's basic premise is about a retired superheroine, turned housewife, who fights to keep her daughter safe from pervy supervillains. Hence, the title's English translation: "Don't Meddle With My Daughter!"
- Man-Eating Plant: The monster flower, a giant plant created by Blowjob that emits a pheromone that attracts women towards it. It swallows them up, plants seeds in them and then spits them out as plant-like zombies with tendrils connecting the women to it. It has complete control over the women and makes them have sex with any man in the vicinity so it can feed off their pleasure.
- Man of Kryptonite: Athena used to be embarrassed by sexual harassment, but her libido is greater. So now that Blowjob's aware of it, they design their monsters and robots to take advantage of her.
- Most Common Superpower: Both Athena and Clara; with Athena, it's taken up to absurd levels.
- Naughty Nuns: Sister Velocity is a nun superhero who wears a very fetishistic outfit that bares her shapely legs.
- Nebulous Evil Organisation: Blowjob has to plunge the world into chaos, but it's not really clear why.
- Official Couple: Clara finally realizes her feelings for Mei at the end of "Amazing Eighth Wonder Vol.3" and openly confesses to her. One defeat of Blowjob later, and the two sweethearts have good sex.
- The Only One: Anna states that since only the Eighth Wonder can stand up to Blowjob when Athena retired and made it clear she wasn’t going to be a superhero anymore, they had no choice but to recruit Clara.
- Physical Gods:
- Athena and her sister, Artemis, are revealed to be the Greek goddesses of legend, during chapter 9. A news panel discussion in chapter 4 alludes to it, when the guest speaker speculates that Clara and her mother originate from an island of goddesses. It turns out, he was only half-wrong. They come from a different planet entirely.
- It's also the reason Clara and her mother are both called "the Eighth Wonder". They're initially assumed to be one and the same, due to Clara looking nearly identical to her mother in her younger days. But after carefully examining footage from Athena's time and comparing it with Clara's, they notice Clara's fighting differs from Athena's and that her breasts are smaller. Thus, they begin referring to Athena as the "1st Generation Eighth" and Clara as "the Next Generation Eighth"; realizing that they're mother and daughter.
- Phlebotinum Overload: In Chapter 4, the monster plants manage to pull Athena into its main body and rapes her to absorb her ecstasy. Which ends up being its downfall as Athena gives off so much ecstasy the plant can't contain it all and blows up.
- Power Nullifier: N.U.D.E has special handcuffs they use on supervillains to nullify their powers.
- The Power of Friendship: Realizing how much Clara values their friendship helps Mei overcome her evil side.
- Predestination Paradox: Although Point Blank was born in the present to be raised as an assassin for Blowjob to defeat Athena and Clara, it's revealed after he was sent in the past with Athena that he was actually B.M. Shooter by growing into the hero role by being sent 20 years before B.M.'s supposed sacrifice. At the time he met a younger Athena and inspired her to become the first Eighth Wonder, by befriending, marrying, and impregnating her with Clara before meeting her future self again at his future sacrifice point. Meaning he'd have to be born in the future first to meet and fight the adult version of his future wife as the Eighth Wonder to go in the past to become B.M. Shooter and inspire his wife to gain her title in the first place and hunt her daughter who only existed because he impregnated Athena's younger self while in the past.
- Rape as Backstory:
- The "MILF of Steel" epilogue story reveals Athena was defeated 20 years ago by Heavy Metal. He abducted her afterward and took her to an unmarked island where he had gathered all of her enemies, then let them take turns with her before finally gang-raping her.
- A short story in the same issue reveals Hanna was also a rape victim 20 years ago. She has a nightmare, wherein, she recounts how badly N.U.D.E. was losing to Blowjob after Athena retired. One scene shows Hanna being raped after a failed skirmish until Athena suddenly appeared and saved her.
- Really Gets Around: Justified since Clara and her mother, Athena, are frequently the targets of sexual assault by Blowjob.
- However, Athena isn't always unwilling, being that she's secretly horny. Several stories show she'll even give it up to villains, depending on her state of arousal.
- Clara is likely the only character where the trope applies to a virgin. Yet, the parasite that possesses her in the "Amazing Eighth Wonder Vol.1" was able to feed off of her repressed sexual energy.
- Reluctant Fanservice Girl:
- Athena usually takes the full brunt of Blowjob's sexual assaults, to protect Clara. She's been publicly stripped and molested. But in chapter 2, and the epilogue stories, she gets raped several times.
- Artemis doesn't fare any better, having been molested by her own sister (chapter 9) and by Blowjob in chapter 10. The "MILF of Steel" epilogue story expands on the latter scene, by showing Zenovia had her minions take Artemis's virginity by repeatedly gang-raping her 'til her mind finally broke.
- See the Invisible: Athena is able to defeat the invisible scout tank by throwing dry ice containers at its general location. The dry ice that falls on the tank reveals its silhouette, allowing her to destroy it with one punch.
- Sex Slave: After being captured, Artemis and Athena are repeatedly molested and raped by Zenovia's machines, until they give in to their lust. Afterward, they're forced to wear plugsuits that are designed to enhance their bodies' sensitivity, to keep them in heat.
- Shout-Out:
- The post-epilogue doujinshis are titled after superheroes comic books and film series. To wit: MILF of Steel, MILF of Steel Returns, Uncanny Eight Wonder, and Amazing Eight Wonder.
- Strong Family Resemblance:
- Clara looks so much like her mother did at her age, that the media initially assumes they're the same person. It took video analysis of their battles for the public to finally tell them apart and recognize that the new Eighth Wonder was likely the original's daughter.
- This also foreshadows an important event at the manga's conclusion: When Zenovia first awakened her eighth power, she saw a vision of Athena succeeding the throne as Hypertopia's new queen. Since Zenovia sought the throne for herself, it naturally made Athena her enemy. However, according to their law, only one who has awakened all eight powers is eligible for succession. During their confrontation in chapter 17, Athena admits she reached her limit after only awakening seven. Which is when she realizes that the one Zenovia saw in her vision must have been Clara, because she had just unsealed her eighth power. It's at that moment Zenovia notes that Clara has her mother's looks and concedes that Athena is correct.
- Supernaturally Young Parent: Point Blank is physically only two years older than his daughter Clara by the time he returns to normal space-time and back to the present. Clara doesn't want to accept someone as young as her father.
- Teleporters and Transporters: Clara has a teleportation device in the closet of her room that leads directly to N.U.D.E's base.
- The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: Point Blank becomes obsessed with defeating Athena after his initial defeat at her hands. When Zenovia turns her into his willing Sex Slave, he becomes upset and later helps Clara free her because that wasn't how he wanted to "win".
- Time Travel: Athena and Point Blank are sent back in time thanks to one of Blowjob's devices. Athena was sent back in time to the day her husband B.M. the Shooter disappeared. Point Blank was sent back in time twenty years...and became B.M. the Shooter. When Athena and Point Blank are reunited, the explosion that supposedly killed him actually sends them about half a year after the day they were sent into the past.
- Unresolved Sexual Tension: Between Clara and Mei, though it's limited to subtext in the main series.
- Unskilled, but Strong: Clara has the same powerset as her mother Athena making her one of the strongest superheroines in the world. Unfortunately, her naïvet´e; and lack of experience make her a lot less effective.
- Vine Tentacles: A plant-based monster is unleashed by the villains, and it uses its vines to capture women so it can feed off their sexual pleasure.
- Virgin Tension: The manga's main premise is about a superhero mom, who's worried that her nubile teenage daughter might have her virginity stolen from her by horny supervillains.
- Wardrobe Malfunction: In the first chapter Athena goes to help Clara wearing the same outfit she wore twenty years ago. Unsurprisingly, it doesn't fit like it used to. Not only does it hinder her movement, but it also completely shreds as she attacks the enemy.
- Weaksauce Weakness: Athena is a very powerful Flying Brick unless she is groped or molested by a villain in which case, she is completely defenseless.
- What Happened to the Mouse?:
- It's unknown what becomes of Artemis following her rescue. She's clearly affected by her ordealnote and even adopts a new persona as a coping mechanism. In chapter 14, Blue Skull claims to be her "therapist", but he doesn't seem to be helping her. Instead, her bio in "Honey, Hold me Tightly!" states that she's subservient to him. The page caption of her final appearance in "MILF of Steel: Forever" lampshades the ambiguity of her situation:
caption: "What the hell happened to Black Bone?!"- Heavy Metal is a more straightforward example since it isn't known whether he survives having his spine crushed by Athena. All that's seen is his scream, along with the sound effects of his bones breaking. He's neither seen nor mentioned again afterwards.
- Your Costume Needs Work: In chapter 3, Athena and Clara end up entering an Eighth Wonder look-a-like contest. Clara thinks it will be an easy win for her since she's the real thing. Some villains end up attacking the contest because they think Eighth Wonder is there. Athena is able to take charge of the situation and help get a lot of the civilians evacuated. For this, the judges give her first place reasoning that though she doesn't look like the real Eighth Wonder (even though she is the previous one), her actions inspired people much like the real one. Clara on the other hand gets 10th place.
