What do you mean he's not a superhero? Have you seen this guy's workload?
Oh, fine then.
Penny Pincer from Gold Digger.
Penny is a genius, world-adventuring archeologist. She originally came into the book as an antagonist to the book's main character, Gina Diggers, seeing her as both a professional rival and competition for the hand of high-flying pilot, Ace.
Penny has had a phenomenal amount of character growth over the course of the book, however. She buried the hatchet with Gina, stopped playing games with Ace, and took on mentorship of a genetically engineered canary-harpy.
She and Gina work as colleagues more often than not these days, and if there's still a slight edge of profession competition between them, it mostly comes out as banter.
Which is cool and all, but I do occasionally miss the wedgie wars... ;)
...in Fred's defense, the book is equal-opportunity cheesecake/beefcake.
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.
