+1 Salty Symbol of a Nation

[retro_me]

So this is Jamie here with my second girl, Janis Sandusky aka Retro Girl from the Powers TV series.

She's coming in from the end of episode 10, when she gets killed. Apparently I really like obscure superhero girls because Powers never had much of a following. But for anyone curious, there's a personality blurb taken from the eulogy at her funeral on her profile and a YT clip of an in-universe tribute from after her death here. She is also tired and could use a nap.

She's sort of the big blue boyscout of her canon except she wears red. She has been doing the superhero thing since WW2 and has been America's symbol of the nation since then. I wish I could explain the whole Retro Girl thing, but I mostly handwave her superhero name as being some vague reference to American nostalgia. Though she's not going to be using it much initially. She's going to be working in search and rescue, because of course she is.

A Note: her canon is not Marvel, but it is written by Bendis, and her bestfriend is a pretty open Tony Stark riff. So while she's not from 616, there is a bit of weirdness here and there. Her Friendr is here for anyone that wants to bother her, and you can hit me up at natalia_vdova or natalia_vdova#0150 on Discord.

Hahah, that could be interesting.

Yuffie will probably fall into that trap of Janis thinking she's a Child, but it could be interesting. :)

I mean, she's 19 and acts very imature most of the time lol. She's only serious when she needs to be lol

Ohmygosh yes!!! The problems with a PSN-only release.

I don't care what anyone says, the first season was great, cheesy costumes and all. Johnny Royale was the best! And I loved Harley, sigh.

But i would totally love to toss her at Doom sometime because I can only see that being hilarious. XD
