* [[Action Girl]]: Jenny Swenson, aka "Spitfire".
* [[All There in the Manual]]: The story begins in ''Star Brand'' #12. Ken Connel gets powers in the "white event", and fashions himself to be a super hero. Unfortunately a [[Big Bad]] begins to intervene, and he wants to quit. He tries to rid himself of the Star Brand more safely by going to the other side of the moon, but chickens out in fear that he may become stranded and die there. Instead he tries getting rid of it 10 miles above the Earth in a flash of bright light which ends that issue and is picked back up on page 4 of ''The Pitt''.
