The origin of Monster Girl

[stubbleupdate]

More stuff for New Female Character week, coming from the pages of Invincible. She's a mainstay of the new Guardians of the Globe, though she's actually not in the Guarding the Globe series.

Her power-set is quite fun and I like her. There's also a good ongoing story with her relationship with Robot and his battle to stop her from de-aging.





I need to re-read my Invincible books.

But, really, if all the grandmother wanted was to break them up, instead of threatening the spoiled American, wouldn't it make more sense to threaten the grandson? I'd imagine telling him that his cock would turn green and shrivel like a cucumber left on top of a radiator if he stuck it into anyone she didn't approve of would do the trick -- he'd know she had the ability to back it up, even if she didn't intend to.

Ah, but then she wouldn't get to see her great-grandkids.

Scary witchy grandmothers aren't really known for meting exactly fair justice.

I wasn't thinking in terms of fairness, more in terms of effectiveness. I mean, they broke up eventually, but she'd have had her way a lot sooner and without actually expending a curse if she'd chosen the other target.

Also not sure how bright using his sprog as bargaining chips would be...

"Grandmama, I am putting my foot down! You will not see the children again!"
"Hans, my boy, do you like having a nose that does not look like the hind end of a dachshund?"
"...so you will be by for dinner on Sunday?"
