That first issue would go to set the tone for the entire series. Because that’s what happens with women with large breasts, they just can’t stand up for more than thirty seconds without gravity taking them down. And she was defeated by… being too top-heavy and falling over. You see Peter David had to make a pun with the character’s name, and Nina Dowd became The Mighty Endowed. What powers? Well, the powers of big ol’ boobies of course. The plot revolved around a mousy woman named Nina Dowd getting superpowers from an Apokolips Space Rock. So what exactly turned me off of Young Justice those first two times? Well, that very first issue was one of the most misogynistic and immature books I’ve ever read, and even as a 14-year-old the sense of humor felt gross and unnecessary. I read the whole series then, out of obligation to see what my friend loved about it, and not finding anything worthwhile to take away from it. That first issue of the series turned me off so much, that it would be years before I tried the series again, loaned to me by a friend who loved it.
