''[[The Dragon Queen]]'' is a now-defunct 2010 webcomic by Julie Konopka. It follows the adventures of Dragon Queen, a transvestite superhero in Harbor City. The webcomic suddenly went from dramatic storyline-based to [[Gag Per Day Webcomics|Gag A Day]] in February 2011 and then vanished off of the web later in the year.

* [[And Knowing Is Half the Battle]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20140803130735/http://www.dragonqueencomic.com/2010/08/18/transgender-tips/ Transgender Tips]: A guide to how to pick up transsexuals, delivered courtesy of Dragon Queen randomly showing up in a guy's living room.
{{quote|'''Jimmy:''' "Geez! I'm bored and I'm kind of horny. Maybe I should go online and try to pick up a hot she-male."
'''Dragon Queen:''' "Hang on there, Jimmy!" }}
* [[Badass Grandpa|BadassGrandma]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20140803134930/http://www.dragonqueencomic.com/2011/03/21/security-interview-3/ The new security guard].
* [[Boobs of Steel]]: Well, boobs of gel enclosed in bullet-resistant polymers, which are apparently sufficient to stop bullets as well as a bulletproof vest.
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20140803120827/http://www.dragonqueencomic.com/2011/05/09/bulletproof-boobs/ But they don't] [[Jiggle Physics|jiggle right]]...
* [[Bottomless Magazines]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20140803120822/http://www.dragonqueencomic.com/2010/08/04/payback/ Averted].
* [[Combat Stilettos]]: Part of Dragon Queen's costume.
* [[Femme Fatalons]]: Sported by the demon in [https://web.archive.org/web/20140803122822/http://www.dragonqueencomic.com/2010/12/01/conversation-with-a-demon/ this strip].
* [[Harmless Freezing]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20140803122930/http://www.dragonqueencomic.com/2010/11/15/bad-deals/ Noted to only be possible due to the character's powers].
* [[Leotard of Power]]: Another part of Dragon Queen's costume.
* [[Old Retainer]]: Roderick Pennywise has been Bradley's guardian since his parents died.
* [[Reverse Cerebus Syndrome]]: Invoked by the author in [https://web.archive.org/web/20140803120912/http://www.dragonqueencomic.com/2011/02/21/notice-upcoming-changes/ March 2011] for unspecified reasons mid-storyline.
* [[Samaritan Syndrome]]: Dragon Queen can't even finish an interview without having to head out to fight giant robotic wasps.
* [[Secret Public Identity]]: Bradley doesn't bother hiding the fact that he's the same person as Dragon Queen.
* [[Self-Made Orphan]]: One of the interpretations of what is known about his origin.
* [[Stupid Sexy Flanders]]: Bradley's caretaker finds it [https://web.archive.org/web/20140803130656/http://www.dragonqueencomic.com/2010/06/14/regrets/ unnerving] that his young ward is so attractive when dressed in drag.
* [[Super-Hero Origin]]: Left somewhat vague. All that we know is that Brandon was somehow empowered in an event involving him being in the middle of a hermetic rune circle with a bloody knife in his hands, mourning the death of his parents and shouting, "I'm sorry! Please stay!"
* [[Super Strength]]: So far restricted to a single lifting of a car using both hands off-screen.
