So, apparently, Spider Girl's origin involves her being chosen by the Taltarian matriarchy to be given super-powers so she could infiltrate the Legion to help prepare the way for a femme revolt on Earth or something like that.
Surely, however, Sussa can't be the only super-powered chick produced by the Taltarian government's super-power-chick-producing program. Therefore, I speculate, Taltar must have it's very own team of super-femme protectors!

I --Thora of Taltar-- can assure you that this is very true.

There have no doubt been many heroines of Taltar who, because of the covert nature of their mission, lied about their planet of origin. We may never know the full extent of the Taltarian super-power-chick-producing program (SPCPP).

Charma was intended to be an Agent of Taltar. She was a product of the early stages of the program, and things went wrong... Since she ended up having women hate her, she was exiled from Taltar and provided with a convincing backstory. There's actually a statue on Taltar in her memory, and as a reminder of unintended consequences of covert programs. Blowback is a bitch.
Come to think of it, Blowback would be a good Taltarian super-agent.

There's actual a pretty cool unstated implication in that - that the Taltarians would take a symbol of the traditional male idea of femininity - long hair - and subvert that symbol by weaponizing it.
Very Taltarian, that.

Hmm... maybe that's an angle. All of the Heroines of Taltar could have powers based on stereotypically feminine traits or something...

So how would the Matriarchal Taltar heroines and the Matrilineal Naltor heroines get along?
I suspect it would be like the rivalry between Pittsburgh and Cleveland. To outsiders they look very similar, but nobody who likes living says as much in front of either group.
The whole uncomfortable business probably stems from a bad call in the last game of the Women's Moopsball finals, way back at the dawn of the United Planets...
