Profiles in Superpowers That Seem Good But Might Actually Suck: Miss Arrow

by King Oblivion, Ph.D.

Subject's name: Ero

Subject's powers: Can extend stingers from wrists; can also turn into sentient swarm of spiders

Why this power seems good: It would be pretty convenient to be able to turn into a big bunch of spiders and escape from your chatty aunt's house through the chimney, sure. And some big wrist-stingers would be great for dealing with middle management, panhandlers, solicitors, collection agencies, people who generally get in your way, and many others.

Why it might suck: Let's imagine you're playing a video game. As is often the case, you lose your temper. Pop! There go your stingers, all up in your Wiimote. Or, worse yet, say you decide to sleep one night as a swarm of spiders and your arachnophobic landlord has you exterminated. That wouldn't be cool at all.

What kind of a crappy villain calls herself "Miss", anyway?
Does she want to inspire fear or hint that's she's available?
"Ohnoes, it's Miss Arrow! She'll either shoot at you with her cute little stinger thingy or push for a relationship! Either way, run!" Ugh.

I think the real question here is why a woman with spider themed powers is calling herself "Miss Arrow". Now I have to look her up and hope there's a good reason.
