As Scott mentioned, we've been debating Niki's powers on Heroes for a while now, and I'm convinced she has the suckiest powers ever. First off up to this point, she really hasn't shown Super Strength. Some people say that she's thrown people into walls, or killed them. I contend that such feats while uncommon in real-life, are on par with "normal movie female behavior", ala Ellen Ripley or Sarah Connor.
What stinks is that she was teased with having the best super power of all. Originally I thought she was going to be able to create Madrox like duplicates from mirrors. Instead, she apparently has absorbed her dead sister, who sometimes takes over her body. Wow great, that sounds like a Super Deformity, not a super power. Even if she has the strength of *two* women, (which is what one would expect since she IS two women), it pales in comparision to Mind Reading or Seeing the Future or Phasing or Radioactive Blasts or altering the fucking space-time continuum. Niki is the Aquaman of Heroes.
What it boils down to is that Niki either has schizophrenia or a severe case of PMS. She doesn't even have boobies going for her since everybody just lusts over the underage Cheerleader instead.
On another topic, we are over a week late because Mike spent all week playing Knights of the Old Republic 2 instead of drawing the strip. I guess on the plus side, I think he did a great job of drawing a bunch of different panels, instead of repeating one panel over and over again like we did last week. Also our traffic has basically tripled or so this month and we have a hard time figuring if these are real hits, or just some crazy bot. If you've started reading the strip in the past month, drop us an e-mail and let us know where you got the link from, or where you heard about us.
