Kim was used to bare-handed fighting. Although she never called herself one, she had abilities consistent with being a [[vampire]], including immunity to ordinary tranquiliser drugs, superhuman physical strength (sufficient to kill a dinosaur bare-handed), and even such powers as the ability to levitate ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Parallax (short story)|Parallax]]'') and to turn into a swarm of bats. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Camera Shy (short story)|Camera Shy]]'') In trade-off, she had a weakness to sunlight; if exposed to direct, stark sunlight her skin would begin to burn within seconds.

One day, after [[Professor Awesome|Eric]] came home from school, he dropped in on Kim and [[Jenny Everywhere#Kim's friend|Jenny]], feeling down about a row he'd had with a girl in his class, [[Judy (Misunderstandings)|Judy]], which his mother was “being weird” about. Coming to the incorrect conclusion that Eric had taken a romantic interest in Judy and been disappointed, she tried to give him a rambling collection of dating advice, helped by Jenny. Eventually, the misunderstanding became clear, and a somewhat mortified Kim offered to move on to helping Eric with his homework. Eric was mildly reluctant to put in the work for his math homework, not seeing what the point of learning to use a side-rule was when he had four calculator apps on his phone, but he eventually agreed, especially asking Kim to help him understand “how to do exponents on the log scale”.

=== The Staan worshippers affair === | |||
[[Jenny Everywhere#Kim's friend|Jenny]] once found flyers advertising a night-time ritual to “SUMMUN STAAN”. Despite the incompetence implied by the typo-ridden flyer, Jenny resolved to observe the meeting from afar to ensure they did not stumble into successfully summoning anything truly dangerous. While making her way to the disused comic shop where the cultists had made their lair, Jenny bumped into Kim, who asked to know what she was up to, and ended up helping her break in. All their worries proved to be for naught: although the cultists succeeded in summoning the object of their worship, it was not [[The Devil#Kim's universe|Satan]], as they'd mistakenly assumed, but the harmless [[Stan Lee|Stan]].
