How do her normal Slayer powers not constitute superpowers?
I hate the Buffy fandom that denies that they are superheroes. They have powers and/or skills beyond those of normal people and use those gifts to fight evil. That makes them superheroes with superpowers.
I never denied that they already had superpowers, but these powers are even beyond the powers ANY of them, (save maybe Willow) have ever had. BUffy said herself that this was more power than she has ever had, or is accustomed to. they have always been conscidered superheroes to me. but now her powers (temporairly) are more almost straight outta the comics... (little sad she didnt have the vision powers... oooh maybe cold breath!:)
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
