I really like Omega Woman and her Meg Ryan-esque face and shaggy hair with a rock-hard, busty body.
People have been pointing out that Omega Woman seems "out of place" amongst the other heroines, and that's something I actually like about her. She may have been a founding member alongside Valiant Woman and Ms. Metrobay, but both other women have evolved through the times and changed with technology, politics, and social movements. Omega Woman, on the other hand, leapfrogged her way through time and jumped straight from the 40s-era to the modern world. She's social inept and awkward, but how would YOU feel if you woke up in a strange new world with dozens of new faces and barely anybody you cared for or loved from the moment you went to sleep was around anymore?
Another thing I've liked about her is her attitude towards being a heroine. Heroines like Gadget Gal or Alpha Woman love being heroines, but Omega Woman has approached it and does it because she simply has no alternatives. She was stripped of a normal life and pumped full of powers she barely had control over and then whipped up to fight crime. She seems very unhappy as a heroine, yet she's shown to have trouble letting her hair down and doing anything but fight crime. Ms. Metrobay is her friend, but even then Ms. Metrobay has to practically drag her friend out of the station to have FUN.
None of that is a bad thing, I think. It makes her isolated and distant, but that's just the way she is. She has a hard exterior, but once you get in and know her, she's really a sad woman, lonely and disconnected from the normal world. Maybe I'm reading way too much into it, but that's the way she comes across to me and I think it makes her both sympathetic and interesting.
Her experiences with Mesmerella and Ginger both have given her good reason NOT to have any other life but that of a heroine, but maybe she'll find the right occasion or person to make her smile, relax, and throw away some of her inhibitions. In all, though, she's a great addition to Metrobay and a sexy bundle of power to stare at.
If she would just do what I asked, I wouldn't need to use mind control!
