    Half the fun of Philomena Cunk is she’s like half right or at least you can see where she starts from.

    I’m not into comics but now i’m genuinely curious; is there a comic story where the radiation turned a woman super? Only one springs to my mind is fantastic 4s invisible woman, which, you know, there’s some subtext. I’m also not counting things like She-Hulk cause that lacks originality.

    Is there more turtles turned super by ooze or radiation than women?

      There just aren’t a lot of women supers with cultural staying power in the first place, and getting powers from radiation was a trope from a time there were less than average.
