  1. “Because you’re the tallest one in the house.”

    Into some short guy then…

    1. Short public domain character who was also the Spectre.
      …Billy Batson?

        Nah, her issue has nothing to do with height. She just went with tallest… because?

        1. Oh! Mary and Vic are the two shortest, and they’re the least likely to get into relationships, extrapolating that gives the tallest as having the most relationship experience. (took me a second there) I’m probably the last person to figure that out. Thanks you all for being patient with me. o7

  2. Why am I now feeling sorry for Fantomah? And she’s the scariest one there, except for Mary Marvel after Gap Tooth Mindy…

  3. Ooooh, what if Spectre’s one of the film crew.

    1. Dough from accounting…

      1. That would explain a lot about Doug.

        1. Now if it would just explain the extra “h” that added itself to the name… (misspell? Me??)

          I thought you were just insulting his craving for baked goods.

  4. The awkward dial doesn’t have an twelve? Are we not seeing it?

    And place your vote for off screen voice! (for some reason I keep going to Gap-Tooth -Mindy as she’s the type)

    1. Specter’s based in Heaven, right? I’m going to go with um….
      Jack Kirby. Yeah.

  5. That’s one expressive skull!

    1. The dial goes higher. And that voice is Miss Fury.

  6. After thinking some it is most likely Matt will have the voice be a totally new, to us, character. Since he also likes old, obscure, early heroines it is likely to be someone like Nelvana of the Northern Lights. She has a Wiki:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelvana_of_the_Northern_Lights
    And so much for my wild guess. (could he be a he?)

    1. mattador5@hotmail.com

      Hmm, never heard of Nelvana, but she could definitely make an appearance. Depending on Canadian copyright laws…
      But, you are right, I will be introducing someone new next panel!

      1. FYI, here is a list of superheroines I found. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_superheroines

        Being old, and therefore no longer having a life, I spent some time searching till coming up with Nelvane. Wonder what other jewels await?

  7. Found this listing on Fantomah! Posted for your pleasure…

      This is the site where I usually search for public domain superheroes: https://pdsh.fandom.com/wiki/Public_Domain_Super_Heroes

  8. Uh-oh!

    1. Are you getting a Morticia Adams vibe from Hel? Or is it just me.

      1. Definitely seeing the same style of dress and (I think) body type. Maybe she’ll bust out the Morticia loom when she’s berating them for “letting” the pirate get away.

        1. mattador5@hotmail.com

          Maybe that’s Hel’s secret identity?

  9. In the “I want to talk to my boyfriend” frame I wonder what the “misdirection chorus” is getting wrong since leading us to the wrong (but reasonable) conclusion is one of their jobs.

    As for Spectre with his level of awkward I can see him having no idea he had made suck an impression or even believing he could HAVE a girlfriend. And if, as I suspect, HEL is his boss rather than a love interest this could get embarrassing and also raise some questions about his last expense account…

    1. NO MISDIRECTION AT ALL! Also: Money on: That camera just actualized- and then DIED! There’s a frigging UNBOUND AI floating around in Hel’s realm taking in the fight!!!

      1. mattador5@hotmail.com

        Eventually, the camera will return to Earth like VYGER in Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

        1. Now I’m wondering if Spectra’s Main Squeeze will show up to put these side squeeze’s in their place. Or, maybe his mom. (does he still live in her basement?)

        2. This is where it hurts not being Joyce- I don’t know if you’re foreshadowing or messing with the readers.
          …On the off chance that the HellAI’s a real future plot point, may I recommend transmitting to Earth via Solar flare?
          FWOOSH

        3. Huh? What hurts about not being me?

        4. mattador5@hotmail.com

          I think Archives believes that you have a preternatural insight into the plot webs that are Matt’s mind. 🙂

        5. I’m super jealous of your (and Daniel and Simon’s) abilities to predict Matt. (but they don’t post in Real Superheroines).

        6. Expanding: Author Matt folded a city’s backstory into his greatest villain’s weakness, displayed the twist for (I’m gonna go with) most of the comic, offered a big prize to anyone who could guess the twist, and managed to keep everyone guessing until the hammer dropped! It’s like being able to get into the mind of Zelazny or Alliston.

  10. Holy %#@$.

  11. I’m giving up commenting, maybe, as it is clear I don’t have an idea what’s going on or will happen next…..

    1. That never stopped me!

      1. mattador5@hotmail.com

        Yeah… embrace the not knowing! I was contemplating the immortal words of Socrates who said, “I drank what?”

        1. Dude should have left the cave!

  12. Final frame: Size Queen!!

    1. Or is Jim a wee little man? Inquiring minds want to know!

      1. NO! NO THEY DON’T!!

      2. mattador5@hotmail.com

        I’m sure that will be revealed in Fantomah’s upcoming tell-all book. Well as soon as she finds a ghost writer. Get it? Ghost? Hah!

        1. RIP bonny Jim!

        2. Archieves,

          Don’t you mean “we bonny Jim”? (to be consistent)

        3. I’ll say THAT when the book comes out!
