Hey! That's, The GREAT Charade!

Penelope T. Williams

The girl... The myth... The legend...

The absolute weirdo.

The Absurd Hero.

Who is she?

Even in a world of superheroes and the supernatural, Penny is something of an anomaly.
She's just one of those mysteries that refuses to make any sense.

Origin

EVERY superhero has an origin story, right? Some kind of tragic backstory of how they got their powers and embraced their destiny to become a hero? Well not Penny. She just kind of showed up out of nowhere one day. No, really!

There are no records of her prior to her appearance in 2018. She's claimed that her earliest memory was waking up after having fallen out of a tree. In one rare occurrence that Penny decided to cooperate with a police interrogation, a psionic hero was brought in to perform a mind reading. After being rickrolled by Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up", they were able to verify that she wasn't suffering from amnesia, she simply didn't have any memories before 2018.

Given her chaotic nature, getting her to cooperate for any further tests has been a challenge. She ages normally, estimated to be a 15 year old teenager when she first appeared, now a 19 year old young adult. A DNA test collected from a spitball she fired once was able to confirm that she is indeed just a regular caucasian human girl with no active or latent mutant genes and no known relatives.

Superpowers

Penny's superpowers truly defy explanation.

That is, because no one can identify how they work or why she even has them in the first place. Penny's superpowers could perhaps best be described as a limited form of reality warping, although what exactly those limits are no one can say. Its clear that her powers aren't based in any kind of science since she regularly defies the laws of physics, but she doesn't seem to follow any sort of rules of mysticism either. Its believed that her powers must be some sort of powerful innate magic, but anything beyond that is completely unknown.

One theory proposes that Penny might somehow embody or personify a platonic concept, some mystical aspect of chaos or absurdity, a concept she seems to be particularly fond of. The theoretical nature of such a being would perhaps explain the exasperating vagueness of her abilities and her perplexing past. Her existence is, itself, an open-ended punchline to the absurdist joke that is the meaning of life.

Whether there is any truth to any of this is impossible to say, but its after this theory that her powers have been named and classified as 'Absurdity', and its after her favorite absurdist philosopher, Albert Camus, that she proudly calls herself, an Absurd Hero.
