• Iron Woobie: Marilyn Seong aka Mecha Maid. No pun intended on "iron."
• Les Yay:
  • Heather's first week as a hero wasn't quite the success she expected it to be, but hey! At least she got to be the Damsel in Distress to Mecha Maid.
  • Also see Mecha Maid's expression in the first panel here
  • The sub-plot thickens.
  • This casts Tiger's reaction from this strip in a totally different light. Even he seems to think there's something going on between Mecha Maid and Spinnerette. check out MM's eyes in the 3rd panel of the same picture. She's openly checking out Heather's body. Not to mention the wall of MM / Spinnerette pictures Heather has, one of which has MM openly glomping her.
  • In Heather's little news clipping shrine to her superheroing, more than half of the clippings and photos shown are of her and MM in close physical contact. Sahira even uses one of them (of MM openly checking out Heather's ass) to help drive home the suggestion that Mecha Maid is a lesbian. This is Hypocritical Humor as well, since Sahira really seems to like touching Heather. Including in that very comic.
  • Sahira has outright stated she thinks that Mecha Maid wants to be more than just friends with Heather. Confirmed at the end of Chapter 6 -- Mecha Maid admits she finds Heather attractive, but denies having any romantic attraction to her. Her thought bubble at the end says otherwise. Heather is too clueless to realize the subtext.
  • It's just fanart... but here you go.
  • Katt O'Nine Tails can add this to her repertoire. There's also Mecha Maid's reaction when she walks in on the following tail-massage. She can mistake it for a) Katt attacking Spinnerette. b) The two of them getting it on and so being jelous or c) both. In any case on a second readthrough (or just to anyone with Yuri goggles enabled) it can be interprated very much as a "lay of my crush!" reaction.
  • Spinnerette holding an underwear-clad Marilyn
  • Evil Spinerette/Alexis kissed a girl that was taunting her and made up some fake story about how a Drider's kiss creates a magical bond of romance. One week later, the girl practically throws herself at Alexis. Alexis admitted to Heather that she was probably a closet lesbian her entire life and now has an excuse to come out. It was all part of Evil Spinnerette's cunning plan to fool Heather into helping her with her latest drider-creation ritual.
  • Alexis and Heather: See Clean Pretty Reliable
• Meaningful Name: Alexis Woodrow's first name might be a Shout-Out to famous Rich Bitch Alexis Carrington (Joan Collins) of Dynasty, as this Alexis, like the original, comes from a wealthy family. Also of note is that "Drow" is in her name, Drows being the elven race from Dungeons and Dragons that Driders had once been.
• Memetic Mutation: When Katt throws a car at Dr Universe, take a look at the car's license plate.
  • The strip in question, though this troper admits to not getting the reference.
    • Oh, come on...
• Narm:
  • The strip that shows why Tiger decided to pursue superheroing is either really sad or too melodramatic. Hey, "Vary" is the key word here.
  • After Mecha Maid gets electrocuted and can't breathe, she tells Heather to take her to the "superhero hospital". It's a serious moment, but the way it was worded just made it seem silly.
• Viewer Gender Confusion: Green Gable and Katt o' Nine Tails, Wholesome Crossdresser and Bifauxnen, respectively.
• Villain Sue: Evil Spinnerette had shades of this in Chapter 7. She not only figured out Heather's secret identity, but she also fooled Spinnerette into helping her and then effortlessly trounced her in battle. The whole chapter almost reads like a fanfic by someone zealously devoted to the character.
• Wheelchair Woobie: Mecca Maid, outside her armor.
