Panel 1: Gotta try to remember these random capes for future reference, as they're presumably "real life" supervilllains of some sort; then again, as this flashback is set roughly 13-16 years from the Empverse's present, they might well be dead (or Superdead) by now.

Panel 2: One of my favorite shots of Young Hannah, gotta say.

Panel 5: Just noticed that Young MFBro is wearing a tee with the same Action Girl(?) logo sported by Very Young Emp earlier in the series.

Today’s Patreon update: Originally done as a means of scratching out more worktime to complete the long-gestating Empowered vol. 12, I've switched over to a Monday/ Wednesday/ Friday Patreon posting schedule that won't feature the fixed content format I previously used. However, my vast archive of years of Patreon posts—extensive Empowered previews, work-in-progress updates on developmental projects such as fantasy comics The Chaste and the Chained and The Last Party, vintage con sketches, work stages on covers, "damsel in distress" commissions, life drawings & much, much more—remains available for Patrons' perusal.
