I'm just curious: have you seen/played The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds? Because Link gets a power quite a lot like your villain here. (It's the theme ability for the game, like the wolf in Twilight Princess or Ultrahand in Tears of the Kingdom.)

I'm not trying to imply you're ripping off anyone if it comes across that way. When you're making superheroes or a magic system, I'd be more surprised if your work didn't resemble something I've seen! (There's just so much!)

Fair question, but no, I've never been into Zelda games. I played the original NES game at friends' houses back circa 1990, but I'm very much out of touch on all things Zelda and Link.

But I figured a similar power must have been used somewhere. There was no earthly way I'd be the first to think of it. DC Comics has the Shadow Thief, who has a similar ability but more in a shadowy way rather than a flattened person way. I just hope that the specific execution of the character and scene is as unique as possible.

Daniel, The Second Dimension, Part 1 is a fantastic blend of action and introspection. I love how you bring Ultra Woman's humanity to the forefront, balancing her super-powered life with relatable emotions and uncertainties. Great piece.
