Strong Female Protagonist (Webcomic)	comment	Strong Female Protagonist is a Webcomic by Brennan Lee Mulligan and Molly Ostertag. Formerly updating Tuesdays and Fridays from 2012, it went on hiatus when Brennan started Dimension 20 for CollegeHumor in 2018.Alison Green is the former superheroine Mega-Girl. Key word, former. After deciding that superheroes can't really make a difference in the world when it's not giant robots and evil masterminds, Alison goes into retirement in order to focus on her college education and figure out just what she wants out of life.Her old team, the Guardians, are still a peripheral part of her life. Pintsize can't quite handle that the heroic age isn't what the comic books made it out to be. Sonar retired to the private sector after a few years as well. Moonshadow felt like she had to take up the slack after Mega Girl quit the team, and has built up no small amount of resentment against Alison as a result.Alison's little sister Jennifer is having a hard time coping with a superpowered older sister, and Alison is just trying to do her own thing with the shadow of her own superheroic celebrity hanging over her head. Complicating things further is Patrick, formerly the supervillain Menace, whose up-and-down relationship with Alison causes her much consternation.The comic has been officially on hiatus since September 2018.

Strong Female Protagonist (Webcomic) / int_1439161f	type	Heroic BSoD
Strong Female Protagonist (Webcomic) / int_1439161f	comment	Heroic BSoD: Alison has three significant ones. The first was minor, albeit prolonged, after the chat with Menace/Patrick that led her to reveal her identity live on television and quit being a super hero. The second was after learning that she accidentally killed Cohen's husband, which wasn't helped by her also sporting a serious head wound that made it hard to think straight. The third follows her coercion of Max to get him to help Feral, which prompts a whole round of soul-searching about whether the end can ever justify the means.

Cohen gives her an F for it, claiming that she shouldn't be criticizing Nietzsche since she's such a good example of what he was talking about. Ironically, she's closer to The Last Man, only she doesn't have views to cling to.

Later on, Alison uses the same technique to argue with herself about the choices she made, wearing her coat to represent the side that favors those choices.

On one hand, she tried to save Furnace's life from her trap after discovering he wasn't a rapist like she had suspected. On the other hand, she expresses an unhealthy amount of glee during her killings and tried to slice Alison's throat just to see if she could, something that causes her a moment of pause when she realizes she just tried to kill an innocent friend. She embraces it a short time later when Alison brings up the prospect of how easily she could end up killing innocent people if she remains a reactionary vigilante, and Moonshadow replies that she doesn't care about murdering innocents as collateral damage.

Strong Female Protagonist (Webcomic) / int_330a3b9c	comment	Differently Powered Individual: The general term used is "biodynamic", although this is used for seemingly normal people who happen to have a superpower. "Dynamorphic" specifically refers to individuals with significant physical changes. Some are fairly mild, like Feral's eyes and claws and Carmen's green skin, but some are drastic; for instance, Sonar has a very bat-like head, and one woman in the dynamorph support group has become a sapient pool of water in a special tank. "Innate" designates another subcategory, referring to individuals that can master one given field, ranging from mechanics to combat abilities, inhumanly fast. They were thought to be just very fast learners until traces of the biodynamic genes were found.

According to him, they were carefully and quietly killed before anyone even knew about super heroes. Patrick himself is sort of an example of this. Although his telepathic power is pretty straightforwardly awesome, one of the things that made him the world's most dangerous supervillain was that he was actually capable of empathizing with the monstrous biodynamics who were violent menaces to everyone else. He didn't recruit his minions through mind control, he recruited them because he was the only one on earth who was capable of being their friend.

Strong Female Protagonist (Webcomic) / int_3c3f28a5	comment	Blessed with Suck: Cleaver's blades may be incredibly sharp, but they replaced his hands, and they're made out of metastasized cancer cells, with more of them inside his body than out. Thus, he has millions of tiny shurikens floating around in his body, guaranteeing an intensely painful life and, likely, an early death. Feral's amazing Healing Factor may allow her to recover from any injury within seconds, and thus allow her to become a perpetual organ and tissue donor, but it also makes her immune to anesthetics, meaning every operation she goes through is unimaginably painful. Patrick's telepathy is incredible powerful. Unfortunately, he can't turn it off, and so is bombarded by other people's thoughts 24/7. It's later revealed that he's had his power since he was a child, and it nearly drove him insane before he was able to develop a way to cope...although that coping mechanism may be breaking down, and actively tries to kill Alison when she enters his mind to figure out what's going on with him. The same story arc reveals that said coping mechanism was his childhood way of walling off anything that could make him weak - such as fear and morality, and that Alison introduced another element - love.

As their powers tend to become apparent around puberty, history continues largely the same until 2006, when the existence of supers becomes known to the public and the world undergoes a major superhero vs supervillain war. However, a later chapter reveals a superbeing well into old age, implying the existence of supers goes back much earlier.

When he did find out about it, he was so horrified at what it led to that he erased his memory of it. Likewise, a telepath can speak in someone else's mind, but it requires letting them into yours, which Patrick isn't willing to do.

Strong Female Protagonist (Webcomic) / int_582564f5	comment	The Gadfly: Professor Gurwara wastes no time in establishing himself as this, poking any holes he can into everything that comes out of Alison's mouth. He seems to dismiss the risks crossing her is attended with, such as getting fired as Prof. Cohen did (he probably has no idea that wasn't what Alison intended). A little further on in the story it's revealed that Gurwara probably wasn't concerned with that because he's not actually a professor at the school; he either caused or took advantage of a couple of bureaucratic screwups to hijack a class that should have been cancelled due to the real professor being unexpectedly unavailable. However, he also doesn't seem too concerned about the possibility of her punching a hole through his rib cage.

After she tried to murder him, he was forced to live on the streets, and thus threw up barriers to block out anything that could weaken him - such as fear and morality. Once those barriers are torn down, it hits him all at once.

Another monkey wrench is thrown into the works when Patrick shows up at Alison's boyfriend's apartment, very drunk and in filthy clothes, and reveals that his mind may be breaking down. When he allows her into his head and she sees his childhood and how it shaped him into Menace, her feelings for him become even more conflicted.

Strong Female Protagonist (Webcomic) / int_64d3ffd8	comment	Alison appears to have stepped into this territory by forcing Max to use his power to boost Feral's power, under threat of crippling violence. One of the reasons this tears her up so much is because it works, with the end result being that Feral can provide replacement organs for literally the entire world without having to be constantly tortured. The only downside is Max being left in mortal terror of an unstoppable Knight Templar, and then it turns out to be not so effective after all almost immediately afterwards. Max goes into hiding, leaving him unavailable for any future use of his powers, and his Evil Matriarch of a mother is very mad at Alison.

Strong Female Protagonist (Webcomic) / int_66dfe36a	comment	Missing Mom: Deconstructed. Alison's mother is a teacher, and taught some of Alison's own classes. She teaches Alison empathy, and that hiding her intelligence because other kids think she's weird is a bad idea. She was present emotionally and supportively until the government effectively drafted Alison to fight as Mega Girl. She feels she didn't fight hard enough to protect Alison, and that the rift growing between her daughters due to Jennifer's jealousy is her fault, and that it all makes her a bad mother. Patrick's memories of his childhood play with the trope, as his mother's face is mostly obscured by darkness even though she is right there. It's eventually revealed that Patrick caused his parents' deaths in a misguided attempt to finally get them to love him, and obscured his mother in those memories because of what happened to her in particular and what it revealed about his powers.

Unfortunately, the problems of the world aren't that simple â€” and her heavy-handed attempts to make them simple have resulted in people becoming increasingly afraid of her readiness to inflict violence. Her long alliance with her former archnemesis terminated abruptly when he broke her heart and reminded her that the young man she's been so infatuated with is in fact a terrorist who changed his methods but not his goals. Not to mention that she's now guilty of kidnapping, torture, terroristic threats, and medical fraud against an ex-boyfriend after she forced him to save the lives of thousands even though he refused to do so because of her method of "asking." Said ex-boyfriend also happens to be the son of some very powerful people who seem to have been letting her operate freely only because she wasn't important enough... until she acquired their full negative attention.

Strong Female Protagonist (Webcomic) / int_8aa0f76	comment	Patrick's morality is heartlessly pragmatic at best, something he admits to readily. As far as he's concerned, since everybody dies eventually, murder is just "moving up the date," and there's absolutely nothing wrong with killing people for a greater cause. "Lives are there to be spent." Because of this, he sees anyone who insists on saving as many lives as possible to be his greatest enemies. On the other hand, he considers general happiness and quality of life to be extremely important. He expresses disdain for chattel slavery and seems genuinely shocked when Alison suggests he might be a rapist. In their last meeting, Alison calls his beliefs pretty much bullshit when you put them together, as why would he care about slavery or being called a rapist if he thinks lives are to be spent?

Strong Female Protagonist (Webcomic) / int_8ae880f7	comment	Deconstruction: The entire comic is a massive one toward supers in general. Many teen heroes, Alison included, retire from superhero-ing once they realize that the problems of the world are too complex to be solved with their powers. Alison is pretty much a classic Flying Brick who realizes that being able to punch things really hard doesn't solve as many problems as she wished it could. Likewise, Patrick is a classic Supervillain who eventually discovers that Taking Over The World is an unrealistic and even boring goal, especially when there are more subtle forces for evil in the world that are frankly doing a better job at it than he ever did... With the introduction of Gurwara, the idea of the superhero is deconstructed even further, and Beware the Superman is in full effect. He points out that Alison may have good intentions and genuine passion about her beliefs, but she lacks the skillset to win people over to her point of view with anything other than force. She isn't good at convincing people—and she's not very patient with people who disagree—but she's very good at threatening them. The people who agree with her and help her are only doing so because they fear her wrath if they don't; the few who don't fear her just find her to be useful to their own plans.

The realization of this trope is what drives Mega Girl to quit superheroing to go to college, and Feral to volunteer to be cut open and have her organs harvested 24/7 without anesthesia, just so people who need them can have them. Heartbreakingly upheld by Paladin, who signed a contract as a minor which gives her no legal control over her inventions. She could change the world, but the people who own her are too comfortable to mess with the status quo. Patrick owns the contract, as well...and utterly dismisses her idea, after finding out that all the people with superpowers that could really help were murdered as children.

She then threatens to kill all of the other anti-super protestors if they don't disperse immediately. While Max's seeming callous indifference to his family's hired help's situation irritates Alison, it's his questioning whether or not Feral's decision to become a perpetual organ donor is truly a selfless act that causes Alison to break off their date and fly away, turning his arguments on their head as she leaves.

Thinking all this started with Alison, Pintsize just starts yelling and crying at her, basically hating the concept of trying to overcomplicate the idea of superheroes and hating the idea of people laughing at him just because he wants to save the world with his friends and just wants to do the right thing. In a sense, it's seemingly a speech against people who choose to deconstruct superheroes all the time and it feels to him that all they want to do is make people sad in the name of being "smart". Surprisingly, Alison actually agrees with him and fully supports superheroes when there are supervillains or disasters going on and generally believes the Guardians always was a good idea. The problem is it's not a good idea anymore. It is eventually reconstructs superheroes helping society. They just need to figure out a better way, by working together and contributing. Basically, what Feral is doing, only without the sacrifice. Alison starts a woman's help group. Pintsize himself gets in on the act, setting out for France to use his shrinking ability to aid in the study of nuclear particles and power. Sonar, on the other hand, had been working on his own program to help dynamorphic individuals (mutated out of the human form by their anomaly) integrate in society.

Strong Female Protagonist (Webcomic) / int_e8e56799	comment	Blue-and-Orange Morality: Patrick's morality is heartlessly pragmatic at best, something he admits to readily. As far as he's concerned, since everybody dies eventually, murder is just "moving up the date," and there's absolutely nothing wrong with killing people for a greater cause. "Lives are there to be spent." Because of this, he sees anyone who insists on saving as many lives as possible to be his greatest enemies. On the other hand, he considers general happiness and quality of life to be extremely important. He expresses disdain for chattel slavery and seems genuinely shocked when Alison suggests he might be a rapist. In their last meeting, Alison calls his beliefs pretty much bullshit when you put them together, as why would he care about slavery or being called a rapist if he thinks lives are to be spent? After a Journey to the Center of the Mind, Alison learns that this was something Patrick had to do, as he was only 4 years old when his powers developed, and his parents were a Henpecked Husband and The Sociopath as his mother. After she tried to murder him, he was forced to live on the streets, and thus threw up barriers to block out anything that could weaken him - such as fear and morality. Once those barriers are torn down, it hits him all at once.

Strong Female Protagonist (Webcomic) / int_f87886d2	type	Sharpened to a Single Atom
Strong Female Protagonist (Webcomic) / int_f87886d2	comment	Alison is completely impervious to anything that's not Sharpened to a Single Atom. Her skin is easier to cut through than her bones, though. She can't even get a haircut without her hair being frozen with liquid nitrogen then cut with a saw.

Strong Female Protagonist (Webcomic) / int_fb8e9cf4	type	Samaritan Syndrome
Strong Female Protagonist (Webcomic) / int_fb8e9cf4	comment	Samaritan Syndrome: This seems to be the basis of Feral's plan to donate her organs repeatedly for the rest of her life, as she figures it's the best way to help the most amount of people with her powers. Interestingly, a version of this is also why Alison opposes her plan, as she doesn't want to see her friend going through agony for the rest of her life in order to only save a fraction of the people who need help. Alison eventually finds a way to lessen Feral's burden by strongarming Max into amplifying her healing to the point that she only needs to be in surgery for around 40 hours a month to meet the world's demand for organs.

Strong Female Protagonist (Webcomic) / int_fcc33b8b	comment	First Injury Reaction: Cleaver's blades prove capable of bypassing Alison's nigh-invulnerability. She defeats him but gets a slash to her head, and becomes woozy as her near-impenetrable skin means she's never felt pain before. Her first reaction to seeing her own blood on herself is thinking someone else put it there.

Strong Female Protagonist (Webcomic) / int_fd4f8299	type	Well-Intentioned Extremist
Strong Female Protagonist (Webcomic) / int_fd4f8299	comment	Well-Intentioned Extremist: Moonshadow has good points, but stabbing the problem in the face with a knife isn't much of a solution. Alison appears to have stepped into this territory by forcing Max to use his power to boost Feral's power, under threat of crippling violence. One of the reasons this tears her up so much is because it works, with the end result being that Feral can provide replacement organs for literally the entire world without having to be constantly tortured. The only downside is Max being left in mortal terror of an unstoppable Knight Templar, and then it turns out to be not so effective after all almost immediately afterwards. Max goes into hiding, leaving him unavailable for any future use of his powers, and his Evil Matriarch of a mother is very mad at Alison.

Strong Female Protagonist (Webcomic) / int_ff17ccf1	type	Innocently Insensitive
Strong Female Protagonist (Webcomic) / int_ff17ccf1	comment	Innocently Insensitive: Alison's friend Violet. Played straight: Violet asks a DJ to play "Bulletproof" at a club because she thinks Alison would like it (despite Alison famously taking off her mask and quitting superheroing on national television). When Alison asks to leave, Violet cheerfully suggests the girlfriends all get little tattoos, having forgotten that Alison literally can't be cut to get the tattoo. Subverted: Violet gets extra brave at protests knowing Alison is there and has powers to protect her if things go badly. Subverted again: Violet gets Alison kicked out of her dorm after the incident where Alison threatened a date-rapist. She was never Alison's friend after all, she was just using the fact that she knew Alison as her lame claim to fame.
