 Favorite part of "Superheroine Squad"? It has occurred to me that there are a handful of basic building blocks of a Doctor Robo/Finister Foul story. So this week's poll question is pretty straightforward: What part of "Superheroine Squad" (or "Twisted Tales" for that matter) do you like the most? What is it that keeps you coming back week after week? Inquiring minds want to know!

They are all the parts built into the quality of the whole package that draws my attention each week to patiently wait for the next installment. Saying that, picking one is near impossible for me. But I had to vote for the induction, robotization one as it is the main reason I keep coming back to view the story.

Once again, you have omitted 'torture' from your poll. Admittedly, there really hasn't been any torture in the story -- yet -- so I picked 'enslavement', which is a kine of mental torture.
As for fights, there hasn't been much of that either.
'Sex scenes'; that goes without saying. After all, this is Hipcomix, not Hipcomics.

Yeah, it's definitely the whole package that works for me.
Though, if pressed, I'd probably say the control of the villains. I mean, doesn't that mean that they get controlled in the first place? The mind control itself is really great and erotic, but it's the villains who make it FUN.

Here's my opinion on 'torture'. Most of the time when I am writing my stories I am working from the mindset of my own fantasies, as you might imagine. If I didn't do that it's a good bet that the quality of my writing would suffer simply because I didn't have as much of an investment in the storylines.
As you can probably guess, 'torture' is not very high up on my personal list of fantasies. That is not a condemnation of others who enjoy it, it is just a statement of personal preference. While I try to include some other fantasies like bondage and whatever else into my stories, I'm afraid that if I tried to do any sort of 'torture' (sexual or otherwise) it just wouldn't come out right. I may be wrong, and please feel free to lend some suggestions, but that is the reason why I don't include the topic in discussions about my stories.

Well I like the crimes and evil they commit after the initiation process.

I like the artwork on the women in this storyline. It's impeccable.
What I would like to see more of is fighting! I love it when a superheroine gets dominated in a fight with a menacing villainess (I love heel/jobber scenarios). This would build up to the torture, mind control, and sex so much more.
Also, your heroins are so beautiful Doc, but I would love to see some blood and bruises on them. I dont mind extreme torture on them.
What do you guys think?

Well, here's what I think:
For me, these comics are all about the eroticism. Now the word 'erotic' of course means different things to different people and I am by no means one to comment on the tastes of others. I only know what I like, and violence isn't really my thing. On occasion we are going to have our heroines and villains get into a little tussle, but for the most part I prefer to derive my dramatic tension through the emotional stress of mind control and the like instead of physical pain and torture.
That said... if you want to see a superheroine and a supervillain throw down, this week's issue is one you are going to want to keep an eye out for. There will definitely be some hard to hand combat, Doc Robo and Fin Foul style.

There's a problem there; it doesn't appear to me that there is any emotional stress to the women; they seem to be complete automatons, just running the subroutines loaded in. For there to be stress they would have to be aware that they are controlled and unable to do anything about it.
I don't know how such stress would be depicted, graphically though.

Good point. I guess I meant that the stress occurs during the conversion or enslavement scenes as opposed to during the subsequent control.

Its all about the annihilation of the individual; what happens to the victim at the end seems beside the point, especially any further demeaning actions. How can you humiliate someone who essentially no longer exists?
I guess I think back to some of the older films with famous conversion sequences, particularly Our Man Flint, Invaders from Mars (the '50s version, not the disastrous Tobe Hooper/Golan & Globus remake), V: The Final Battle and especially Invasion of the Bee Girls. The process was the point in all of them. Sure, in Flint and Bee Girls there are some perfunctory scenes (very tame by the HIPComix standard) after the process, but that's not what stand out about the films. As for the other two films, outside forces save the DiDs just before their conversions are completed.
So yeah, the process would be the point as I see it. | | | | |
Those are some great references there, Poppyknee. I remember seeing V, Our Man Flint, and Invasion of the Bee Girls at a young age and I am sure that those images left and indelible imprint on my young impressionable mind. 
You also make a good point about the loss of individuality. That's what I was looking for with this 'factory' setting... the drones losing their free will to the hive mind and subjugating their own desires to that of their master. In this regard they are little more than tools for their master's use, living machines as opposed to thinking, feeling human beings.
By the way, welcome to the HIPComix Forums. Great first post!
