I'm not to sure if many people read Conan the Cimmerian by Dark Horse, but I find myself unable to wait for the next issue to come out. They're on issue 24 right now, and I'm telling you that every issue gets better than the last. It makes me want to buy 10 issues and wait before reading them, because 1 just doesn't seem like it's enough. Shyt 24 leaves off on another cliff hanger, and now the drudgery of waiting for an entire month for 25 begins. This is a highly addictive series, and I recommend it for anyone that would like to escape from the monotony of the capes and tights.

What power class is she in (sans any clothing damage)?
Depending on various factors, mid street to low meta.
Emp has low superhuman strength (I don't know her max, but she can carry a car or a 3/4ths ton alien liver without fatigue), which is also useful for super-leaping and all that, and super-toughness- being hit hard 'uses up' some of her suit and causes clothing damage even if it's not a ripping attack per say, but she's, say, been shot a dozen times and been fine, and even been hit by a giant invulnerable skull used as a mace by a giant enemy a few times (and I mean, pounding her when she's in one spot, into a crater) and survived. The suit's surprisingly good at protecting her and it doesn't decrease as much as other powers, but of course it comes along with the loss of other powers.
Emp can fire plasma/concussive bolts of variable power. Normally when firing at humans it's enough to one-shot them and has also taken out some robot foes. Somewhat lowish accuracy (since she has to point her whole hand), but she's getting better at that. Finally, she can stick to surfaces spider-man like, a power she unlocked/figured out in a later volume.
Then there's 'sparkly mode.' She's unlocked it only once and not on purpose, but it gives her hovering and ups her plasma to 'charred skeleton' range even with a damaged suit. Sparkly mode puts her above low meta but she doesn't even really know about it.
Overall, her abilities are very confidence-based. On a bad day her bolts are low-powered and her suit takes even more damage than normal, at full steam, rare though it is, she's rather badass.
