Superheroes let a lot of stuff go less to give themselves more to do and more so people don’t come to utterly depend on superheroes. Just imagine if all superheores were as efficient as Jenn Erica was as Empoweress. They wouldn’t only be stopping crime, they’d be rescuing kitties from trees, putting out all fires, and rescuing folks from problems they could save themselves from. It would get to the point where folks wouldn’t even bother anymore, Superhero X or Superhero Z will be around. Hey, see someone drowning, just wait and watch them drown cause a superhero will save them. Superheroes have to let quite a bit o stuff go so folks don’t depend that utterly on them. Well, most of them do, Cap and Dynaman, now that’s a different story.
Come to think of it, with how efficient she was Jenn Erica took the wrong name. Left a superhero she would have ended up being exactly what superheroes shouldn’t be. You don’t see Wonder Woman being that efficient. She should have called herself Disempoweress.

She never accepted Siliconia as an arch nemesis. That was Cap’s idea because Cap just wanted to drool. Her choice was the Subjugator.

Probably not, though with what she did to the guys who never called her back I think she’s nuts to think she never hospitalized anyone.
But Dis’bowl’ess? She wanted a name that would inspire women to be assertive and powerful so Empoweress suggested empowering people as well as her being empowered herself. But with how efficient she was she was more disempowering than she was empowering.
