of the Ultraforce calmed her by showing her an image of the "true power behind men"... Hillary Clinton. Pixx explained that Earth males have fragile egos, and that it was easier for women to let males think they were in charge.

).
Topaz is a female supremacist; she believes that males are inherently inferior, and becomes quite easily angered when men talk down to women or act chauvinistic. She gets along well with Pixx, but though she initially respected Contrary
, she now looks down on her for often using seduction as a way to deal with men. The males on the team are beneath her notice, although she grudgingly starts to respect Hardcase as a warrior.
