Crimson Tide, a.k.a. Cassie Taylor (Super Power: Epic Rage)

Start here to read an abridged version of their origin story and follow the links to catch up on all of their adventures.

These ladies are great but I thought I would submit this link to a slightly more serious take on how women aren’t taught to understand what exactly birth control is doing to their bodies and what it means to be on or go off of hormonal birth control.
Thanks, Jaime!
