Grrl Power - Sydney


Okay, so how many comics can you name that are based around a mostly female superhero group?  I myself can only name three (Birds of Prey, The Fearless Defenders, and Femforce) and that frankly is an appallingly low number for a genre packed to the gills with super team ups, many of them all guy.  Luckily the nature webcomics provides a bit more freedom in story concepts, which has yielded this rather nice little gem.

As the name implies, Grrl Power is a comic based primarily around a group of super heroines and Archon, the government overseen super hero agency they all work for.  Much of the comic centers around the things that you'd expect a group of super heroines to do.  You know, going on dates, discussing diets, saving the world, dismantling tanks, that sort of thing.  Pretty light hearted for the most part, but deffinately a read for any fan of super heroes.  (first comic)

Sydney
Sydney, aka "Halo," is the co-owner of a small comic book shop and the latest addition to Archon.  By far the nerdiest (and shortest) of the superheroines of Grrl Power, Sydney is constantly dropping references to nerd culture and is the most genre savvy of the group.  Her powers are derived from a series of seven orbs that orbit around her head, each with a unique ability, and can be activated when she grabs hold of one.  However this means she's limited to using two abilities at the most at any given time.

Sometimes Sydney's imagination get's the better of her
*le gasp*  The fiend!
Sadly the foot activated death ray just wasn't meant to be.
