Empowered #3
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis third volume of Adam Warren's comedic superhero saga continues the misadventures of the titular heroine, a cape whose powers are hampered by her own insecurities and a malfunctioning supersuit. Collecting issues from the ongoing series, the trade paperback delves deeper into Empowered's personal struggles and her relationships with her fellow heroes and villains, blending raunchy humor with genuine character development. Dark Horse presents this installment as part of the long-running, fan-favorite series known for its satirical take on the superhero genre.
In "Feel the Uberburn," Empowered faces off against The Chloroformaster, a villain whose twisted brand of humiliation involves chloroforming costumed heroes and sharing their unconscious images online. Written, drawn, and lettered by Adam Warren, this 2008 Dark Horse issue delivers a sharp, surreal take on superhero vulnerability, with Warren’s distinctive art bringing the absurdity and tension to life—both in the story and on the cover, which he also created.
In "Chlorosexuality," Empowered faces off against The Chloroformaster, a villain whose bizarre scheme involves chloroforming costumed heroes and sharing their unconscious photos online—turning vigilante exhaustion into viral content. The story blends sharp humor with the absurdity of superhero tropes, all in a self-contained 11-page tale.
In "Mysterious Dumbass," Elissa finds herself reluctantly enlisted in a bizarre undercover operation by Major Havoc and Protean, forced to don the guise of a sexy librarian while secretly monitoring video feeds—her mission a mix of awkward espionage and cringe-worthy roleplay, all under the watchful eyes of her teammates.
