According to Entertainment Weekly, one of my favorite D-List comic characters is getting her own comic book Series. Squirrel Girl is fun comical character but she also has game. She has taken down some of the big boys in the Marvel 616 Universe. She has beaten Doctor Doom in her first adventure. She has also fought Thanos, Wolverine, and Deadpool and she hasn’t lost yet.
Here is a list of her abilities from Marvel.Wikia.com.
- Superhuman Strength: Squirrel Girl is super-humanly strong and can lift between 800 lbs and 25 tons.
- Inability to lose to stronger enemies: The more powerful an opponent is, the more likely Squirrel Girl is to emerge victorious.
- Leaping: Squirrel Girl can leap several stories.
- Climbing: Squirrel Girl has small claws on each finger and toe to enhance her griping and climbing abilities.
- Knuckle Spike: Squirrel Girl has a a retractable knuckle spike capable of carving through solid wood.
- Prehensile Tail: Squirrel Girl has a bushy, 3 foot long semi-prehensile tail that she can use to cover opponents’ eyes or wrap around herself for warmth.
- Communicate with Squirrels: Squirrel Girl can perfectly mimic squirrel sounds, as well as actually communicate with and direct the actions of squirrels. She often uses a number of squirrels to distract or even assault others, chewing through circuitry and other materials. She shares a close, possibly empathic, bond with certain squirrels, such as Monkey Joe and Tippy Toe.
- Regenerative Healing Factor
Since she has never lost, they have named her book, The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl. It is being written by Ryan North. The art will be handled by Erica Henderson .
I can’t wait for this comic. I hope they keep the comical undertones to this character while giving us a ton of fun character development and fun stories.
Stay Geeky My Friends!
