    When we thought it couldn't be worse, at least it's not Spider related

    Let me just check if this one is a complete waste of time

    And there it is.

    Impossible to tell from 2* stats, but most of these turn out decent as 5*.

    Purple milk? Normally you only get this with a bad case of gonorrhea…

    Interesting power set. Bet she'd be annoying as a 5 with all those traps doing damage AND burst healing. Like crystal/aunt may. Also, love the moo hahahaha

    Ugh. This character seems entirely useless to me - did she age out of producing edible dairy products? Is that why the milk is purple?

    I'm imagining the brand new player to MPQ opening their 1st standard token and pulling not Iron Man, not Captain America, not Spiderman or any other Marvel character they know but Bessie and going 'What the tinykitty is this?'

    KGB

    P.S. I find it infinitely amusing that the purple power is called 'pink gold' and yet the milk looks purple :smiley:

    Honestly... There's not nearly enough "tinykitty" in the forums anymore, and that would be great introduction to what it means.

    Healers rarely play at high levels. But, I guess she is a 2.

    In MPQ, the cow eat you.

    It’s funny to me that Hellcow was only in a backup Howard the Duck feature in the 70s (main comic: Giant Sized Man-Thing) and was quickly killed (as you might imagine for a silly character who obviously was meant to be a joke yet somewhat tragic) and not seen again until a Deadpool comic in like 2012.

    As a 2* looks quite strong in its tier.
    Cool art.
    I think this is one I will get to 140 and keep there to partner with Headpool.
