Empowered/Nightmare Fuel

• Empowered's Knight of Cerebus, Willy Pete, wants revenge on Thug Boy for ripping him off. How? Well, the rest of the Witless Minions were used to satisfy the physical lusts of a man who is walking flame. And because the normal orifices don't last long enough to finish the job... There's a reason Willy Pete has pride of place in Thug Boy's nightmares.
  • He's since added eating bits of living people to his repertoire, and combines it with... no, too horrible to describe, getting the Brain Bleach out again.
  • Mindf** k's backstory has a fair bit of this. It seems her rather psychotic brother had similar mental powers and used them to take over her motor functions in order to induce the whole Disability Superpower thing... by carving out her eyes and tongue with her own hands. Please note that Mindf** k was both conscious the whole time and well aware her brother thought he was doing her a favor.
    • Actually, it's worse than that. He made her use a rusty pair of kitchen shears.
      • It's even worse than THAT. She's a lesbian, so cutting off her tongue was a sexual mutilation as well.
      • And then, there's what Ninjette's ex-clan had planned for her - and what happens to the assassins they send to collect her. Y'know, for a book that began as a spoof on BDSM manga, Empowered has gotten pretty goddamned grim!
