Magellan

Everything you wanted to know about Charisma Epoch... but didn't know to ask.

Hey there! Chances are you found this page via charisma_E's Twitter account. You've also probably worked out by now that Charisma Epoch is a fictional character in the webcomic Magellan... what you may not know is some of the following:

she is a first year superhero cadet at Magellan Academy - a training facility on Magellan Island which trains (you guessed it) the next generation of superheroes;
her powers include flight, strength, invulnerability;
her father, Vlad Epoch (aka "Epoch") is currently one of the greatest and most popular superheroes on Earth;
she was a successful young teen pop princess before joining the academy, although much of her success was often slated down to 'fame-by-association' to her father;
she is generally self-centered and... um... abrasive (although you've probably worked that out already!).

First appearance: Brawl [1.36]
Assorted other appearances: [1.53] [2.23] [2.40-2.48] [2.51] [2.54-2.58] [2.63]... and more!
Special appearance: Charisma's "Kiss Me" Tour 2008 (this was originally a voting bonus from 2005, Charisma's attempt to carve out a pop career for herself goes horribly wrong! Slightly NSFW!!)

For heaps more info about Charisma see her "Classified" page.

Charisma is not the central character of Magellan (although she probably thinks she is) that role falls mostly to Kaycee Jones but there is a big cast of other characters to be found throughout the comic.
