Kamen America, Vol. 1: Stars and Strife

Product Information

Engineered Heroics: Carly's arch nemesis Vermillion Masquerade turns out to be her best friend Vicki.

There are also two webcomic spinoffs of the series, Kamen America: The Web Series and Kamen Academy , and some Japanese doujinshi . While Wormwood isn't truly sadistic, she's certainly disrespectful and cruel to Carly and Vicki, belittling their interests and insisting they develop different ones. Expy: Carly Vanders is an expy of both DC's Supergirl and Marvel's Captain Marvel, who respectively have the similar names of Kara Danvers and Carol Danvers and are already expies of each other.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Alpha Bitch: Carly originally saw Sylvia as this, since Sylvia was wealthy, popular, and somewhat insensitive towards Carly herself.

Smooth-Talking Talent Agent: Lansky, the depraved talent agent whom Carly ultimately fires, is one of these. Follow the adventures of Carly and her friends - Kamen Comet, Kamen Ramen, and Kamen Victory - as they face their adversaries: not all of whom can be defeated by simple fisticuffs! As they get closer to figuring out the secret identity of Vermillion Masquerade, the stakes are raised as the danger may be a lot more familiar to the team than they expected!

Elemental Powers: Several of the Kamen Corps have them, including Misha (who has fire powers) and Kimiko (who has water ones). High School AU: The second web series, Kamen Academy, functions as this: it sets all the main characters as students in the same high school.

Misha started as an employee of one before she defected and joined the Kamen Corps, and Hare Trigger ran one. Fanservice: Carly herself is this; she is conventionally attractive and often fights in a Leotard of Power.Redemption Demotion: Vicki loses most of her powers after she finally surrenders to the Kamen Corps and begins her process of redemption.
