Henchwomen Through the Ages
The "ages" of comics are not hard and fast things, and even comic book historians argue where they begin and end. They're more like moods than time periods, and your standard game of Henchwoman RPG will probably be set in a vague time period that could be anywhere from the thirties to today with an overall Silver Age mood. Still, let's take a look at how the roll of the Henchwoman has evolved, shall we?
Goldie is a gun-toting, cigar-chomping bank robber in victory rolls and a bullet bra. She's not called a henchwoman- she's called "Look out, that broad has a grenade!" She's loyal to the boss despite his dumb penny gimmick, but if he ever finked on her in court, he wouldn't live to see the sunrise. There's no Henchwomen's Union for her to join yet, but she's provided muscle for plenty of mob-backed unions. Goldie can't afford to be soft on heroes since they'd be just as happy to throw her off a roof as to arrest her, but she might be wooed by an appeal to patriotism- she ain't no Nazi rat! Her hobbies include matinee shows, swing dancing, and blasting coppers.
Sylvia is a competitive surfer and was a cocktail waitress until they fired her for slapping too many customers. Thanks to the newly formed Henchwomen's Union, she's treated much better by her current job, which usually involves crashing parties to steal themed jewelry. She and the heroes she fights have an understanding- they'll never be rough with her, and she won't check up on them after putting them in a death trap to see if they've died. On her off hours, she can go dancing in the same outfit she worked in- a silver jumpsuit, gogo boots and a purely decorative motorcycle helmet.
Brawny is a member of the Sisterhood of Wicked Witches, and she fights for a cause- or rather, several causes. These range from the reasonable (Save the whales!) to the less reasonable (A free ray gun for every child!) The Henchwomen's Union is strong enough to get her good pay, so many of her problems are philosophical- is she a good guy or a bad guy, and what do good and bad even mean? Brawny has to be a bit more careful than she would have been ten years ago, since death may well stick- but that also means she might really kill a hero, at least for a while, and that's what matters!
Tenebra prefers to be called a Dark Muse, a member of a vampire circle dedicated to bringing art to life, painted in colors of blood. Her eyeliner is swirly and her gowns are velvet, and she wears them onstage in her sideline darkwave band. Tenebra arranges her crimes in accordance with pre-raphaelite imagery, with victims displayed in heartbreakingly beautiful and mythologically-influenced poses. Her boss may technically be the Queen of the Vampires, and she may have a card with the Henchwomen's Union, but her true loyalty is to art itself.
Ferra is a mercenary with a separate pouch for each type of bullet, and she has a lot of types of bullet. Her stilettos are tall but her hair is taller, and she can strike intimidating poses that would break a normal person's back. The Henchwomen's Union had its own back broken by the bosses, and is now more of informal underground thing, but it still hooks her up with real deal bad guys. She'll kill without a second thought for her boss, but she's only one bad day away from turning her gun on him. It might even happen accidentally, since he and the heroes dress exactly the same. Ferra somehow has a heavy metal soundtrack even when there's no music playing.
Ally got a degree in psychology but until she can afford grad school, she gigs as a henchwoman. Her bosses are sillicon valley dickheads, but the first one to offer her real benefits will have her loyalty for life. Thanks to the resurgence of the Henchwomen's Union, Ally gets to wear big stompy boots instead of high heels, but she still has to wear a big day-glo logo on her leather jacket that might as well be a target sign. Her hobbies include pop culture conventions, smoking weed and credit card fraud.

Chapter 15 hehe
♦️𝙻𝚞𝚌𝚒♠️
The sisters slammed the door open, making Porkrind jump from the nap she'd been taking while waiting on customers.
""Porkrind!"" The sisters said in unison.
"Cup-brats..." She rolled her eyes, leaning her head on her hand. "Come back to annoy me after being gone for three months?"
"Has it really been that long?" Cuphead asked, picking Lucas up from getting into things.
"Yep... Too bad, isn't it?" Porkrind's eyes rolled to the ceiling. "What's with the mutt?"
"He's our dog! Isn't he cute?!" Mugma'am ruffled the tuft of fur on his head.
"Strangest dog I've ever seen. Do they usually come with horns?" She asked skeptically.
"Uhhhhhh..." Cuphead looked to her sister for help, Mugma'am quickly changing the subject.
"We need dog food, a collar... Uh... That kinda stuff. Do you have anything?" Mugma'am quickly asked.
"Nope." Porkrind answered immediately.
"Could... Could you check?"
"Nope."
"Come on, Porkrind! You gotta have something!" Cuphead whined.
"Isn't there a pet store in the city? Like, away from here? Where you can't annoy me?"
Cuphead grumbled, Mugma'am placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Queen Dice didn't specify we had to shop at Porkrind's." She said as quietly as she could, though it proved to be quite fruitless.
"That scamming pain in the ass sent you? Where exactly are you two staying?"
"Uhhhhhhh—"
"That's not important, Porkrind, we'll get out if your hair." Mugma'am pushed her sister toward the door.
"You know what, girls, why don't I go check and see if I can find something for your sweet little pup, and we can make a deal."
"Uh—"
"Ok!"
"Cuphead I'm not too sure if we should— "
"Don't worry, I remember what Dice told me, I won't let her scam us." Cuphead whispered, excitedly heading back inside.
♠️ ♠️ ♠️
Somehow, at some point, Old Scratch and her right hand woman ended up on the lounge in the demon's office. Sharing a drink, it surely helped with the Devil's nearly blown circuit. She leaned her head upon Dice's in complete tranquillity, even so, something was on her mind. Something she was just so unsure of.
"Dice... You know they're going to find out sooner or later, don't you...?" Lucifer asked, keeping her eyes glued to the bourbon in her glass.
"Who will find out about what, honey?"
"That lady at the orphanage. She's going to find out that I lied... Hell, we can't keep this from the girls. What am I supposed to do? Ban them from going outside?" The Devil frowned.
"You've grown to care a lot about them, haven't you?"  Queen Dice teased, though the Devil didn't find it very funny.
"Answer the question, Dice."
"Right—" Dice cleared her throat. "Well, we're always here if they need us... They know that. And I'll fight that woman and win if she comes by again— And you know I would."
"Yes, but that is how it works... They're 17 with no caretaker..."
Queen Dice shifted positions, the Devil sitting up to look at her girlfriend, the woman blinking as she pondered. She sipped at her drink, stringing together a plan. Her green eyes looked to her Boss as she still pondered.
"What?" The demon tilted her head.
"I'm just thinking... You know, the girls have made home here..."
"Dice." The Devil warned her.
"If they're up for adoption... I mean... I don't see why we couldn't." Dice continued.
"Dice you're not serious, are you?! Wh— Why would they want to stay here?" The Devil asked.
"I'm just sayin, maybe we could... Y'know... Keep them... Just a thought..."
"Dice..."
"Oh come on! Don't tell me you haven't thought about it! Not even once?!"
"Of course I've thought about it! But... I dunno..."
The office door swung open, grabbing their attention.
"Cuphead! We can't just waltz in like we own the place! You gotta knock!" Mugma'am scolded her sister.
"Oh... Right."
"Did you get all you needed?" Dice held her hand out for her change.
"Yep! And I even have change!" Cuphead smirked proudly, reaching into her pocket and handing Dice a single one dollar bill.
"That's it?!"
"Hey, you didn't specify how much change you wanted." Cuphead placed her hands on her hips.
Queen Dice grumbled, unable to argue as she did not in fact give the sisters a specific amount of money she wanted back.
"Porkrind scammed you, didn't she?" The Devil smirked.
"She didn't scam me!" Cuphead frowned.
"Yes she did." Mugma'am rolled her eyes.
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Did not—"
The sisters suddenly stopped at the sound of a low growl as the Devil gripped the bridge of her nose. They knew very how easily the demon's anger could get out of control.
"The Boss has had a rough day, why don't you two go downstairs and... Do something." Queen Dice said calmly, the girls nodding as they left the Devil's office.
As the door clicked shut, Dice turned back to the demon. She sighed, leaning her head in the woman's shoulder as she stared at her drink, running her finger around the rim at a slow pace.
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah, just... Overwhelmed..."
"Well, we don't have to do work for the rest of the day if you'd just like to relax." Queen Dice put an arm around her girlfriend.
The demon looked up at her, pausing as she made eye contact with Dice. Blinking, she didn't say anything, but she didn't need to;
"Or if you want some time alone, I can leave too."
"Noooo." The Devil whined quietly, burying her face in the crook of Dice's neck.
"Ok, ok, I won't go..."
Queen Dice pondered at what she could do to help cheer her up. Looking around the room, Dice's eyes fell on the demon's desk. Piled with endless paperwork in an unorganized mess, Dice could see how it could be overwhelming at times. She couldn't help but think that even just looking at the desk made the Devil feel overwhelmed and frustrated.
She pulled the demon closer to her, placing a kiss atop her head. The Devil's tense body immediately relaxed, shifting slightly to sit in a more comfortable position, still sitting right next to her girlfriend.
♣️ ♣️ ♣️
The sisters didn't speak one word to each other on the elevator ride down. Both because they were simply upset with one another and the fact that they felt guilty for making the Queen of Hell's mood even worse.
"How do we always manage to make things a million times worse?" Cuphead sighed as she once again tossed the puppy's toy for him to chase.
"We don't always make things worse... Do we...?" Mugma'am asked.
"Maybe it's just us... Elder Kettle didn't like us fighting, neither do Dice and Devil." Cuphead crossed her arms, ignoring the puppy when he brought the toy back and dropped it.
"Well, that's just it," Mugma'am picked up the toy and tossed it, the dog barking happily as it ran after it. "Maybe it's just because we fight so much... We can't seem to agree on anything."
"That's not true! You're the one that doesn't..." Cuphead stopped, Mugma'am frowning. "I guess we do fight a lot..."
"Let's promise not to fight as much." Mugma'am held her hand out to shake.
"Fine by me."
They both looked over the to Hellevator, Henchwoman walking out and sighing rather loudly, unknowing that the sisters were right in the throne room. Taken aback by seeing them, she immediately attempted to look more positive and optimistic.
"Is everything ok, Henchwoman?" Mugma'am seemed to have noticed before she hid it.
"Who? Me? Absolutely! Things couldn't be better than... Than they are now..."
"Something's wrong, and I think I know what!" Cuphead smirked.
"No! It's not what you think! I swear I'm happy for them! S— Sure I love the Boss, but I would never want her to be unhappy and..." She stopped, judging by the sister's facial expressions, she was quite off about what she thought they meant.
"What...?" Cuphead looked at Mugma'am. "I just thought you were tired from work. What are you talking about?"
Henchwoman froze in place, she was completely petrified. And the worst part was, she had no idea how to get out of this situation. She'd always been bad with secrets, even her own, she'd always wished she knew how to lie to people as easy as her boss could.
"Look... I'm... I swear that I'm happy for the Boss and Miss Queen Dice but... I... I..." She drifted off, sighing as she glanced back to the ground. "Being around the Boss for thousands of years has given me a chance to really get to know her and... And appreciate her... And..."
Two loud gasps got her attention as she drifted off once more.
"You're in love with her, aren't you?!" Cuphead asked, giggling.
"Th— The Boss?"
"You can tell us, we won't judge." Mugma'am spoke sincerely.
"I— I mean she's... She's wonderful... Sure, she doesn't have a very good understanding of emotions and how her actions can affect others... But... I dunno, there's something about her that... That I can't help but like..."
"Like or love, Henchwoman?" Cuphead snapped, getting annoyed.
Panicking, Henchwoman looked between the two of them, trying to find a way out of this. With no way out, she buried her face in her hands.
"Henchwoman, just answer the question!"
"Cuphead stop!" Mugma'am took her sister by her shoulder. "You're— We're upsetting her."
Cuphead opened her mouth to argue, Mugma'am frowning, reminding her of their deal. They turned back to Henchwoman, the purple imp uncovering one of her eyes when she noticed they weren't yelling at her anymore.
"You don't have to tell us, Henchwoman." Cuphead sighed. "We're sorry."
Henchwoman uncovered her face completely, sighing as her gaze fell to the floor.
"We shouldn't have pressured you to tell us what had happened. That's your business, not ours." Mugma'am went on.
"Yes." Henchwoman blurted out, quickly covering her mouth to stop the words from tumbling out.
The sisters gasped, turning to look at one another before turning back to Henchwoman. They both smiled, getting excited much to the demon's dismay. She frowned, creasing her eyebrows as she lowered her head. The sisters frowned, realizing the exact circumstances.
"Now she'll never know cuz I was too much of a coward to tell her before..." Henchwoman spoke bitterly.
"Is this why you've been so down?" Mugma'am asked.
"Is it obvious?"
"Yeah kinda."
Mugma'am elbowed her sister in the ribs, Cuphead glaring at the other.
"I guess I'm just upset cuz I know I'll never have a chance with her now..."
"Hey, don't be sad, who knows, maybe you'll... You'll find someone even better than the Devil." Mugma'am tried to lift her spirits.
"That shouldn't be too hard." Cuphead mumbled.
"Don't be rude." Mugma'am snapped quietly back.
"Thanks girls, but I think it's a lost cause... Love just... Isn't somethin that works out for me." Henchwoman shrugged. "But let's get somethin straight, you two don't tell The Boss or Queen Dice about this, alright?"
"Tell us about what?"
The three of them yelped, turning to face Queen Dice, who had just exited the Hellevator with the Devil.
"Nothing!"
"We weren't talking about anything!"
"Who's Cuphead?!"
Queen Dice raised an eyebrow, looking between the three of them. Smiling sheepishly, the three others stood in uncomfortable silence as they stared up at the other.
"Alright, you three obviously don't wanna tell me, and I'll respect it." Queen Dice rolled her eyes as she and her girlfriend headed down the hallway to the Devil's bedroom. "The Boss and I will be back later."
When the door clicked shut and they were completely out of earshot, the three of them sighed, relieved that they seemingly hadn't caught the whole conversation.
"That was a close one..." Henchwoman sighed. "Anyways, you two had better not tell the Devil 'bout this."
"We won't." The girls said in unison.
"Swear it."
The girls hadn't exactly ever seen or heck, even heard Henchwoman get angry before. Even with her boss. For someone who spent most of her time with the literal Devil, she didn't seem to lose her temper or get annoyed with her as Queen Dice or even the sisters did. There didn't seem to be one mean bone in Henchwoman's body. Seeing her get angry and upset at her secret potentially getting revealed was definitely surprising and a little unnerving.
"We swear we won't tell!" Mugma'am threw her hands up in defense.
"Yeah, we'll keep your secret."
"Good... I don't know what I would do if she ever found out... Now I have to go finish my duties for the day."
The sisters watched Henchwoman slump out of the room and down the hallway, off to do some of her many chores for her Boss.
♥️ ♥️ ♥️
“Uhm… Ruby…?”
“No.”
“Diamond?”
“Surprisingly, no.”
“Hmmm… It’s a gemstone that’s cherished��� Can I have another hint?”
“Really?” Queen Dicr stopped playing with Lucifer’s hair momentarily, receiving quite a spit frown from her. “I’d give it away if I gave you another hint.”
“Pleeeeease…?” The Queen of Hell looked up at the woman from her lap, giving her the very best puppy eyes.
“Ugh, fine. It’s blue.”
“Uhhh… Agate!”
“No.”
“Aquamarine?”
“No.”
“Sapphire?”
“Bingo! There ya go!”
“Yay! I win!” The Devil laughed. “So that’s your middle name… Queen Sapphire Dice. I’m still surprised it’s not Diamond.”
“Well… I supposed it’s because that’s my mother’s middle name; Duchess Diamond Dice.”
Lucifer snickered again.
“What’s so funny?”
“Her initials… Are— Are D.D.D.” She giggled, covering her mouth in an effort to be quiet.
Queen Dice rolled her eyes, smiling while she shook her head.
She once again stopped playing with the demon’s hair, moving to her face, moving her hair out of her face. All the while her Boss just kept on giggling about Dice’s mother’s initials.
“I take it this is helping your stress?”
“It is… Thank you… You’re so smart, Dice.” The Devil reached up and cupped the other’s face.
“Anytime, Dev.”
The Devil paused, lowering her hands in thought.
“What? What is it?”
“Can I tell you something, Dice?”
“Sure, anything.”
“So… Back when I was… Y’know…” She drew a circle above her head in the air to represent a halo, Dice nodded, immediately understanding. “Anyways, I was… I was referred to as Lucifer… But I also had nicknames back then… Sort of like I do now…”
“Where is this going?”
“Everyone close to me back then called me Luci… No one’s called me that for eons…”
“Not even Henchwoman?” Dice tilted her head.
“No, not even Henchwoman.” The Devil shook her head.
“It’s a shame… It’s a pretty name…”
“Uh-Huh… So… I just wanted to say… You… You can call me that… If you want to.”
“What? Luci?” Dice asked.
Lucifer smiled, a tear forming in her eye before she quickly wiped it away. Sighing, she closed her eyes.
“Yeah…”
“Alright then Luci, you beautiful, beautiful being.”
Luci chuckled, her eyes still closed.
“Luci, my love.”

About The Henchmen universe, what are The characters superpowers? They seem so cool.
Vanessa - Super Strength. The likes of which we haven't seen the upper limits of yet.
Emerald Entropy - Transmu-tech. An invention of her own making that allows her to rearrange molecules to her whims.
Shield Maiden - Super Strength/Speed and flight. Coupled with an indestructible shield (natch) and a sword enchanted to destroy evil. Fun fact, if the sword is not used altruistically, it will shatter forever.
Golden Boy - Flight and energy projection. Like firework, he's loud, bright, obnoxious and is over-hyped.
Show' Em Hero - Red Belt in Karate. Also has a magic bat that he has a telepathic connection to.

Hang on, I suddenly started imagining an alternate timeline in which Tsukasa Kudamaki was introduced like five games before her role in UDoALG, and kept bouncing from one Polycule Of Evil Women to the next in each game (with or without any explanation each time for why she was kicked out of the last one), with all that culminating in her finally landing the "fail to assassinate Reimu, shack up at the Moriya Shrine" job.

“ it's so funny how many hardcore Arya stans despise Sansa when if Arya heard them talk shit about her big sis she'd beat the shit out of them ”
I mean, firstly, Arya is a 9-11 year old skinny little girl. She can’t even wield a sword other than skinny Needle. She is not going to be beating the shit out of anyone. And she reserves her rage for those who truly deserve it, the rapists and murderers who made the lives of people truly hellish.
Even when others were slagging her and even Needle (i.e Jon Snow) off, she just yells at them and calls them stupid. At no point does she beat anyone up for talking shit. It was Arya who was getting beaten bloody. Sansa stans who love to remind us that Sansa is just a child would do well to remember that Arya is even younger and physically smaller.
And secondly, textually and in canon, this is Arya
Arya squirted past Greenbeard so fast he never saw her. “You are a murderer!” she screamed. “You killed Mycah, don’t say you never did. You murdered him!”
Harwin took her arm to draw her back as Lord Beric said, “The girl has named you a murderer. Do you deny killing this butcher’s boy, Mycah?”
The big man shrugged. “I was Joffrey’s sworn shield. The butcher’s boy attacked a prince of the blood.”
“That’s a lie!” Arya squirmed in Harwin’s grip. “It was me. I hit Joffrey and threw Lion’s Paw in the river. Mycah just ran away, like I told him.”
“Did you see the boy attack Prince Joffrey?” Lord Beric Dondarrion asked the Hound. 
“I heard it from the royal lips. It’s not my place to question princes.” Clegane jerked his hands toward Arya. “This one’s own sister told the same tale when she stood before your precious Robert.”
“Sansa’s just a liar,” Arya said, furious at her sister all over again. “It wasn’t like she said. It wasn’t.” - Arya, ASoS
Again, this is Sansa’s own POV where she sees Joffrey sadistically mutilate Mycah, Arya hitting Joffrey to stop this and then Joffrey attacking Arya.
“And you’re only a butcher’s boy, and no knight.” Joffrey lifted Lion’s Tooth and laid its point on Mycah’s cheek below the eye, as the butcher’s boy stood trembling. “That was my lady’s sister you were hitting, do you know that?” A bright bud of blood blossomed where his sword pressed into Mycah’s flesh, and a slow red line trickled down the boy’s cheek. (--)
Joffrey slashed at Arya with his sword, screaming obscenities, terrible words, filthy words. Arya darted back, frightened now, but Joffrey followed, hounding her toward the woods, backing her up against a tree. (--)
Joffrey made a scared whimpery sound as he looked up at her. “No,” he said, “don’t hurt me. I’ll tell my mother.”
“You leave him alone!” Sansa screamed at her sister. (--)
After they had gone, Sansa went to Prince Joffrey. His eyes were closed in pain, his breath ragged. Sansa knelt beside him. “Joffrey,” she sobbed. “Oh, look what they did, look what they did. My poor prince. Don’t be afraid. I’ll ride to the holdfast and bring help for you.” Tenderly she reached out and brushed back his soft blond hair.  - Sansa, AGoT
----
There was something slung over the back of his destrier, a heavy shape wrapped in a bloody cloak. “No sign of your daughter, Hand,” the Hound rasped down, “but the day was not wholly wasted. We got her little pet.” He reached back and shoved the burden off, and it fell with a thump in front of Ned. Bending, Ned pulled back the cloak, dreading the words he would have to find for Arya, but it was not Nymeria after all. It was the butcher’s boy, Mycah, his body covered in dried blood. He had been cut almost in half from shoulder to waist by some terrible blow struck from above.
“You rode him down,” Ned said. The Hound’s eyes seemed to glitter through the steel of that hideous dog’s-head helm. “He ran.” He looked at Ned’s face and laughed. “But not very fast.” - Eddard, AGoT
----
Arya screwed up her face in a scowl. “Jaime Lannister murdered Jory and Heward and Wyl, and the Hound murdered Mycah. Somebody should have beheaded them.”
“It’s not the same,” Sansa said. “The Hound is Joffrey’s sworn shield. Your butcher’s boy attacked the prince.” - Arya, AGoT
So yeah, Arya also supports the truth and textual canonical facts which is that Sansa is a lying liar who lied and sided with her beautiful prince Joffrey and his mother over her little sister because as Sansa thinks in her own ACoK POV, she loved prince Joffrey with all her heart.
Once she had loved Prince Joffrey with all her heart, and admired and trusted her his mother, the queen.  - Sansa, ACoK
Arya would in fact be happy that many of us agree with our favorite character and call Sansa out for the liar she was!!
