It has been so long since LL really used her powers, or did something villainous, that I had almost forgotten that she has them and is one. I wasn't even sure if she could fly (she has only been depicted as maybe doing so in one panel before now, and that was ages ago). Looks like we are finally going to see a few of the supers in Evil Inc cut loose and show us what they can actually do. Especially if a superhero or two shows up to intervene.

Evil Inc has always been as much or more an office/business comedy than a superhero (or in its case supervillain) one though. The fantastic elements to date have actually mostly come from wacky Evil Inc inventions.

Is this a new direction for the strip, more superpowers?

You're right about the flying.

Wasn't mentioned in her Evil Inc Personnel File.
