[edit] Plot

A parody of more mainstream comics it details the brief career of a prostitute given superhuman powers by the Viewer (himself a parody of Uatu from the Marvel Comics universe) she reluctantly joins the League of Honor, comprising of;

• The Saint (a Superman parody)
• The Knight (a Batman parody)
• The Squire (a Robin parody)
• The Lady (a Wonder Woman parody)
• The Lime (a Green Lantern parody)
• Speedo (a Flash parody)

Together they fight an array of lackluster villans such as The Noun and The Adverb, until her coarse language, violence, retribution and her giving The Saint a blowjob result in her being expelled from the League. She rejoins them to fight a terrorist attack, flying into space holding a nuclear bomb facing certain death, more in an effort to save the life of her young child than anyone elses in the vicinity.
