History Series / ElectraWomanAndDynaGirl

-->"I think about him every day. His name was Jonathan. {{Literature/MrsFrisbyAndTheRatsOfNIMH Jonathan Frisbee]]."

* TheDiva: Electra Woman turns into this fairly quickly as success goes to her head and she starts believing herself better than Dyna Girl. Of course she has her HeelRealization almost as quickly.

* WhatKindOfLamePoerIsHeartAnyway: Some of the superheroes in this show have less-than-impressive powers; the most obvious one being

In 2015, a series reboot was announced, starring YouTube comediennes Creator/GraceHelbig and [[WebVideo/MyDrunkKitchen Hannah Hart]] in the titular roles.

* MissionControl: Professor Frank Heflin. He's an electronic genius who created all of the duo's gadgets, and often updates them with new functions. Sometimes those new functions actually last for more than one episode, like the [=ElectraBeam=], which becomes a regular part of their arsenal after being added in "The Sorcerer's Golden Trick". Most are just one-episode tricks that are never seen or mentioned again, like the [=ElectraSplit=], the Electra-X, or the [=ElectraStrobe=].

* HotterAndSexier: The new outfits have PowerGirl-like boob windows, and there are a ''lot'' of sex jokes and innuendoes. Electra Woman has shades of a MrsRobinson, actively going out to seduce college guys.

* MissionControl: Professor Frank Heflin. He's an electronic genius who created all of the duo's gadgets, and often updates them with new functions. (Sometimes those new functions actually last for more than one episode, like the [=ElectraBeam=], which becomes a regular part of their arsenal after being added in "The Sorcerer's Golden Trick")
* NephariousPharaoh: The Pharaoh, who was implied to be an actual pharaoh by the narrator.

* SuperWristGadget: The [=ElectraComps=], which they wear in both identities. You'd think someone would comment on a gigantic wrist-mounted device on a pair of magazine reporters.

* NonPoweredCostumedHero: Without their [=ElectraComps=], Lori and Judy are normal (albeit athletic and quick-witted) humans.

* MakingUseOfTheTwin: Deidre Hall's twin sister Andrea Hall played an evil duplicate of Electra Woman in "The Spider Lady".

* EvilSorcerer: The Sorcerer and Ali Baba. [[spoiler:Well, sort of. The former is a stage magician who relies on illusions and devices for his "magic", while the latter is just a normal criminal whose sidekick pretends to be a genie to scare people. Neither can do actual magic.]]

* ExpositoryThemeTune: "Electra Woman and Dyna Girl, fighting all evil things.."

* LargeHam: Lots of scenery-chewing on display; Judy Strangis really cuts loose when Dyna-Girl is turned evil in one episode.

* MakingUseOfTheTwin: Deidre Hall's twin was used as an evil duplicate in one episode.
* TheManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler:The Empress of Evil turns out to be an android, and the ''real'' villain, her inventor, was pretending to be her sidekick all along.]]

* MirrorMoralityMachine: Ali Baba uses one of these.
* MissionControl: Professor Frank Heflin. He's an electronic genius who created all of the duo's gadgets, and often updates them with new functions. (Sometimes those new functions actually last for more than one episode, like the [=ElectraBeam=])
* NephariousPharaoh: The Pharaoh, who was implied to be an actual Pharaoh by the narrator.

* NonPoweredCostumedHero

* SuperWristGadget: The [=ElectraComps=].
* ThemeMobile: The [=ElectraCar=]

Deidre Hall and Judy Strangis play Lori and Judy, who work as writers for ''Newsmaker'' magazine, but when trouble calls, they become Electra Woman and Dyna Girl! Electra Woman and Dyna Girl use the latest in technological gadgetry, such as the [=CrimeScope=] supercomputer and their wrist-mounted [=ElectraComs=] (supplied by their resident tech-wizard Frank, played by Norman Alden), along with their bravery and wits, to solve crimes and capture the various villains they encounter, including the Sorcerer, Glitter Rock, Ali Baba, Spider Lady, the Pharaoh, and the Empress of Evil.

* ArachnidAppearanceAndAttire: Spider Lady.

* EvilSorcerer: The Sorcerer and Ali Baba.

* TheManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler:The Empress of Evil turns out to be an android, and the ''real'' villain, her inventor, was her sidekick all along.]]

* MissionControl: Frank.
* NephariousPharaoh: The Pharaoh.

* SuperWristGadget: The [=ElectraComs=].

* AscendedFangirl: The new Dyna Girl (conveniently also named Judy) was a girl who was rescued by Electra Woman and Dyna Girl when she was little. Now a freshman in college, she's the one who gets Electra Woman to come out of retirement and joins her as the new DynaGirl.

* TheCameo: Both Franchise/TheFlash and ComicBook/{{Aquaman}} make brief cameos. Franchise/{{Superman}}, Franchise/{{Batman}} and Franchise/{{WonderWoman}} are all mentioned but don't actually appear.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Electra Woman, who is portrayed as somewhat of a BrokenBird here, all the idealism of her youth having been replaced with a huge cynical streak and world-wariness. Initially she doesn't even want to get back into the hero business, being all for just leaving when the robbers show up at the store... but in the end she can't bring herself to disappoint her new Dyna Girl.

In 2001, Creator/TheWB tried to revive ''Electra Woman and Dyna Girl''. The show wasn't picked up, but a pilot exists with [[Series/NightCourt Markie Post]] as Electra Woman.

This series provides examples of:

* DarkerAndEdgier: The 2001 pilot, in spades. Granted, that's not really hard, since the original series wasn't even allowed to have ''fight scenes''.

* GroinAttack: The new Dyna Girl in the 2001 pilot does this to a convenience store robber.

* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: As seen by this list, several of the villains are examples of this.
