Grrl Power #1407 - A plethora of powered (Patreon)

Thank you for the support! You guys and grrls are awesome!

See, he's not stepping across 3,700 light years, he's simply walking from where one Harem is to where another Harem is, and as you can see, they're all standing right next to each other. Relatively speaking. Look, it's very simple, and not at all silly. 

While Archon HQ is one of the places of relatively high Super density, they really don't have all that many Supers there. Harem accounts for nearly 1/3 of the actual "bodies that have Super powers." Achilles technically isn't a capital S-Super, and neither is Dabbler. Heatwave is a weird case that I haven't gotten into. She's... more like Pixel, in a way, who, if you recall, is a Super, but only in her hybrid and feral forms. (Man, I really need to find time to go back and repost those pages in the 750 pixel-wide format instead of the old 643 px format I had before I redesigned the page slightly.)

In case you're wondering about panel 4, starting at the top-left and going clockwise, the Supers shown are Sleeping Harem, Redline, Anvil, Varia, Showering Harem (spending a lot of time in that shampoo pose it seems), Super Hiro, Heatwave, Jiggawatt, Stalwart, Jogging Harem, Mr. Amorphous, Po-Boy Harem, Jabberwokky, and down in the bottom-left is Omar, who I think we've seen maybe twice. He's Jiggawatt's half-brother and works for Arc-SPARQ. Going by the "Super-Aura-Vision" Nthaniel has going on, it looks like they both have the same power, but they don't. Not quite. It'll probably come up in a future page, but there's a reason Omar is in R&D instead of the field. 

Before you ask, 1) Yes, he has electricity powers of some sort, and I did name him Omar so Sydney could try and work an "Ohm-ar" pun in at some point, and 2) No, I don't know what "SPARQ" stands for. I called it that because it rhymed with Arc-DARK, which is a dumb reason considering Arc-Dark is an agency within Archon that no one below the rank of Major is supposed to even know about. 

But it is what it is. Let's say it stands for Super Power Assisted Research... uh... Quarry. Cause they're in the basement. And they strip-mine knowledge from the fertile forest glens of... uh... ignorance? Maybe Query makes more sense Quandary? Don't question the Quetzalcoatl posters pinned up here and there, either. 

Oh, hah! I was looking through the archive a bit, which can be quite a bit of a time sink at this point, and look at the stinger on this page. Didn't even remember I did that. I mean... IT WAS ALL PLANNED! Well, the major milestones are planned, but it's nice when the gags along the way line up.
