You should make the time, man. The longer you wait, the less chance that the devs will be able to fit the modifications into their change queue before the game goes public. In this sorta thing, you gotta strike early or it might not get done at all, no matter how good the idea.

No sixpack!? That's a key component of the Ultimate Muscle Babe. Grrr. What's the point of making a superbabe with muscles of steel if her belly doesn't look hard enough to stop a battering ram?

I didn't tell you this…

Yes you can make a muscle woman, but she'll only be as muscular and as big as comic book She-Hulk.  Don't expect them to have any DCM sized muscles, so no bulging biceps at least currently.

Collector, how do you know this? Are you a Champions Online Beta Tester? I'd gotten the impression from various articles from the devs that a pumped up muscle babe was a real possibility, if one were so inclined.

Total disappointment. She rips a metal rail off a hospital bed and runs a guy through with it, knocks Clark down a hallway and through a wall with a single punch, and pins Clark to the top of the car he totaled by falling on with a grip on his throat. Even though Kara was in the episode, she got NO strength scenes at all. While Clark went to take on Faora, Kara…. got sent on an errand to get J'ohn's crystal to use to extract Faora from Lois's body.

There was a plot hook at the end for a Kara spinoff, but unless the writer for the spinoff is a fan of superfemmes(assuming there's a spinoff at all) don't hold your breath. For some inane reason, corporate types seem to think that people hate the idea of strong women, so they make sure women are almost never depicted in TV and movies as strong, never muscular even when they are super strong, and even when a superfemme is in a series, she won't get much opportunity to show off her power. Geez, too bad the Holodeck is at least 400 years away. Imagine the stuff a femmuscle fan like us could do with a Holodeck….. Oh the holographic heroines I could make with just a few voice commands. Alas, my drawing skills are beyond pathetic, and in the absence of advanced Treknology, never shall my fantasies become reality.

It's an alternate history where WW2 never happened because the Neuroi invaded. Conventional military weapons and tactics proved useless. Then a scientist came up with  a way to combine magic and technology, resulting in the Striker Unit. When worn by a girl with magical abilities, it would allow her to fly as well as generate a shield capable of blocking the beam attacks the Neuroi use. Other than the Striker Unit, and 2-way radios small enough to fit inside a girl's ear, the tech seems pretty consistent with the 40's, with the exception of the robot, which was a prototype made using captured Neuroi technology.

I welcome a family-friendly, comedic superhero flick. But I do want a decent superheroine in a lead role. The possibility of a She-Hulk cameo is stronger now that Banner's blood has proven so powerful. But is it better to just have her manifest as a cameo, or give her a supporting role in any future sequel?

Are you kidding me? A supporting role is obviously better than just a cameo. With a supporting role, we get to see some extended ass-kicking by our beloved muscle-babe

I like this, especially the part about releasing the antigen in the Middle East. I'd love to see a story about the women of the Arab world overthrowing the male-dominated theocracy that is so prevalent in the Middle East. It could start with individual women in the process of becoming Amazons fighting back against their overbearing male relations who treat them like cattle, the women taking their freedom by force, and moving on to the formation of an all-female terrorist group, maybe called something like 'al-Amazonia' dedicated to putting an end to the insanity and widespread murder perpetrated by Arab governments that actively support terrorism like Iran and Syria by overthrowing those governments and putting a more sane, female power structure in place. Oh, that would be just so awesome.

So it's essentially the Dave the Barbarian episode all over again?

It was worse than the Dave the Barbarian episode. At least the girl in Dave the Barbarian spent time as an Amazon before going completely overboard and turning into an ugly troglodyte. In the George of the Jungle episode, the girl went straight from waif to ugly troglodyte with no Amazon stage in between. What a disappointment.

Bionic Whiner is what I called it, I am not sad to see its demise..but Jericho… OMG that show totally had my interest and was so freaking sweet the last episode made me scream at the direction it was heading and then…cancellation… F-you you stupid coke sniffing, dope smoking, whoring TV execs who wouldn't know a good show if it came up and bitchslapped you. I just wished Sci-Fi would have shelled out some money to move it over there…but NBC and CBS…don't get along.

I'm surprised that they canceled Jericho again. The last time they did that, they got inundated with literally tons of nuts sent by faithful Jericho fans. Canceling Jericho again so soon after that, they're just asking for fans to send metric tons of buts to them again.

I'm stiull trying to understand why there would be anti-femuscle on a She Hulk board.

That's like buying a subscription to GUNS & AMMO and sending letters to the editor about all these firearms in the magazine!

Why did Statler and Waldorf keep going to see The Muppet Show night after night from the exact same balcony seats just to yell about how terrible the acts were every single time? Some people paradoxically enjoy viewing something they hate just so they can yell about how much they hate it and ruin the show for everybody else.
