The Other Bad Guys

There are several supervillains that face off against All American Girl and Skygirl, with more or less success.

Plague Drone: A slimy character with the ability to infect a variety of nasty diseases.

Magmaman: Can turn into a man-shaped blob of molten fire.

Tigershark: An Australian supervillain with super strength.

Dark Energy

 Dark Energy is one of Professor Destructions most capable superpowered cronies.  He can fly and shoot energy bolts from his fists.  All American Girl finds Dark Energy handsome, though she would never tell him so, but his fondness is for underage prostitutes.

Behemoth

 Behemoth is a supervillain in Women of Power.  He is about six feet tall and six feet wide and is made of pure muscle.  He has super strength, the result of toxic radioactive waste.  Unfortunately Behemoth is not the smartest knife in the kitchen drawer.    He has repeatedly failed to notice that his one weakness seems to be supernaturally stong women.  Behemoths great power is that once he gets going, he can’t be stopped.

Irving

Irving is All American Girl’s agent.  Here’s a little bit of Irving and AG.

“Oh baby,” said the man on the other end of the line.  “That hurts.  That really hurts.  You know Irving is your number one fan.”

“Really?  I thought you were supposed to be my agent.”

“Come on baby.  Give Irving some love.”

“How about I fly over there and twist your head off like a bottle cap?  You haven’t answered my calls in weeks, and then here you are, all ‘baby, baby’…”

“Baby.  Irving has been busy.”

“I’ve been busy too.”

“I know you have, my sweetness, but Irving has been really busy.  He’s been busy working for you, my sassy spangled mega-babe.”

“That’s it,” Stella sat the soda down and stood up.  “I’m flying over there right now.”

“Before you do, listen to these four words: All American Girl Magazine.”

“A magazine deal?  Where and who?”

“National baby!  Hatchet Media International!”

“Hatchet?” Stella ran her fingers through her close-cropped blond hair.  “They’re big right?”

“The biggest magazine distributor in the world—forty eight hero magazines and all of those supers are in the top one hundred of the New York Times list!  Captain Hero!  Ultrawoman!”

“Vanguard?”

“Vanguard!”

“Dark Defender?”

“Um, no… He’s published by somebody else.”

“But Ultrawoman…”

“Ultra-woman, baby!”

“So what?  They’re ready for magazine number forty nine?”

“Well, no.  They had an opening.  Cosmic Man, well you know…”

“Yeah, that was too bad.  But you try to stop an asteroid; you’ve got to expect that kind of thing.  This is big, Irving.  This is big.”

“Big baby.”

“You did good Irving.”

“Oh baby, you know Irving is always working for you.  But this was all you, super friend.  Kicking ass on terrorists.  Terrorists with rockets.  And doing it right while the traffic copter was there to film the whole thing.  That was brilliant baby!  You’re all over the news.”

“Am I?”

“You know it.”

“That was a lucky break,” said Stella, more to herself than to Irving.

“Luck is for suckers, baby.  You got mad skills.  And you know what a magazine deal means?  Money.  Advertising revenue, sponsors, money, collateral damage insurance, money.  Did I mention money?”

“That’s awesome Irving.”

“There’s just one thing, baby.”

“What’s that?”

“They haven’t exactly made the final decision yet?”

“What do you mean?  Do I have a magazine or not?”

“It’s down to either you or one other super.”

“Who?”

“Skygirl.”

“Skygirl?  That slut!  Who’d want to read about her?  She’s a total airhead!  And have you seen her thighs?  They’re like tree-trunks! And what’s the deal with her costume?  Were they out of ass spandex that day?”

I originally wrote Irving intending that he appear as nothing more than a voice on the phone, but I liked him so much, he just had to make an appearance in the flesh.

The Atomic Jack-O-Lantern

The Atomic Jack-O-Lantern is a radiation based supervillain.  Since he never speaks, nobody really knows where he came from or who he is, but his radiation is one of the few things that can weaken All American Girl.

Professor Destruction

Professor Destruction is your typical power-suit afficianado.  He likes to think he’s a mastermind and makes up for his lack of super-powers with a relatively vast intellect.  He is in charge of a group of super-baddies who make life difficult for All American Girl.

Omega Woman

Omega Woman (Omega Girl until her recent 21st birthday) is one of the most powerful and popular superheroes in the world.  This is particularly annoying since she is now dating Perihelion, All American Girl’s ex.  Omega Woman has flawless silver skin and golden hair that reaches almost to the floor.  She is hauty and disdainful of everyone she thinks is below her… which is everyone.

Omega Woman has super-strength, invulnerability, flight, and can shoot Omega Rays from her fingertips.

Perihelion

Perihelion is the ex-boyfriend of All American Girl.  Though we are not privy to why they split up, they did so about six months before the story started.  I have a feeling that the breakup was either Stella’s idea or her fault, and now she regrets it.  Within a few months of their split, Perihelion began dating Omega Girl.

Perihelion is extremely good looking and is the spokesmodel for a line of sharp Italian suits.  He has the super strength and invulnerability, but his great ability is flight.  He is the fasted flyer of all the supers.

Melanippe

There are several mythological characters named Melanippe, but Stella’s mother is the sister of Hippolyta, queen of the Amazons.  She has an on-again/off-again relationship with Theseus (Yes, that Theseus) and has setteled into a life of hedonism on Mount Olympus, much to Stella’s shame.  “And my mother is an Amazon, which I used to think meant she was a warrior woman, but apparently just means she’s some kind of immortal hoe-bag.”  Of course this means that if you were to mix the continuity of my little story with that of DC Comics, then Stella and Wonder Woman would be cousins, which is cool, because WW has always been one of my personal faves.


Hipparion

In Women of Power, I wanted real mythological figures for Stella’s parents, but I didn’t want them to be major mythological figures that everyone knows.  Her father is the demigod Hipparion, who is mentioned once or twice in the mythology texts but has no surviving stories about him.  His name means “pony” in greek, so he must have had something to do with the being a lord of horses or something.
I had fun playing with the idea that nobody on Earth remembers him, even though he thinks he is a major figure in history.  Like most mythological fathers, Hipparion has only a passing interest in his offspring, and expects to be called on for magical armor or weapons, but not emotional support.
