Grim and Girthy Gwenpool

Somewhere outside all of reality, outside of time even, where all of existence can be seen at once and infinite stories live and die in the blink of an eye, this was the Gutter Space. And this was where Gwenpool resided.

Long ago Gwen Poole was an ordinary comic nerd once, however one with an affinity for seeing her heroes gain weight, which in turn made her want to get fat as well. And due to circumstances that we’ll never know for sure, she had found herself sucked into a world of fat superheroines! Once she realized she was living her dream world, she got a costume, made enemies and even more friends, even founded her own team! And after finding out she became a favorite of the author of this universe she felt on top of the world!

However time passed, the author had aspirations to be greater, but despite all their efforts…nothing arose. They stayed working on this universe and making any sort of money off it. Falling into this hole audiences got more desperate, demanding the heroines get bigger and bigger. As the only one who could possibly comprehend troubles beyond the fictional reality she lived in, Gwenpool became an agent of the agenda to do whatever it took to keep the lights on, even if it meant immobilizing many of her friends to do so. It wasn’t her fault she made allies of the most popular characters that people wanted to see the bellies hit the floor of!

But in-universe, it just looked like Gwenpool just snapped and went on a fattening spree unlike any other. Which painted a grim picture.

But it would all be worth it in the end.

Currently Gwen leaned back looking across the panels of the multiverse. Her pink and black suit barely slimmed down her humongous body, her belly reached past her knees and made Poole look nearly as wide as she was tall. If she had to guess, the former heroine was rapidly reaching nine-hundred pounds.

Which still made her the lightest lady in Earth-62121 as of then.

The thought made her chuckle. As well as looking into the other panels that were peeks into other universes parallel to her own. Of course Gwenpool knew she wasn’t in the “official” multiverse the big ups took place in, but it was close enough. And it was a lot of fun to visit each as many as she could, one with no more skinny girls seemed appealing, but Gwen showed them just how not-skinny they could truly be. 

However in the span of the Gutter Space, Gwenpool could see any of these universes at any point in the past. Some were still growing and developing until exploding with the potential. These were harder to influence but with one author for each universe, there would be lots of characters that would slip through the cracks for their attention span. And Gwenpool was aiming for a particular one in a particular universe today. So she leaned her fat body against the window to New York City…Of Earth 122012…

Angelica Jones was not having the greatest time of her life at the moment. Firestar had been around the block, being an Avenger, an X-man, and an amazing friend to many others. But currently she was living alone, being just another heroine in NYC. It was difficult to land a steady job as someone known to the whole world as a mutant whose power was literally conjuring fire. So her apartment was less than stellar at the moment.

Making ends meet was difficult, but it was still suspicious that Firestar was getting more and more free food offers. Wasp and the Invisible Woman may have been shining examples of plus-sized heroines nowadays but that didn’t mean everyone wanted to join. Angelica already got called “The Skinny Mary Jane Watson” by others enough to start wanting to match the super-sized model.

But after a while of little paychecks, free food was getting more and more tempting.

Over the past few weeks Firestar was having some awkward times flying, having her flab fall down towards the ground. It was only an inch or two around the waist so far. Nothing too concerning so far but Jones would need to start working out on her own time and cut down on the free snacks.

The mutant hothead flew to her apartment building, changing into her civilian clothes (frustrated that she had to let her belt loose by another notch) and entered her small room. Angelica sighed at the sight of the donut box lying on the table, resisting the temptation to devour them.

But once Jones saw the largest woman she’d ever seen widespread on her only couch, she lit up her hands ready to defend herself from this intruder! Thankfully no smoke detectors were installed, Angelica seeing them as unnecessary given her powerset.

The gigantic woman giggled, “Y’know I think I’m the only one my age who actually watched your cartoon! Man, that's a trip and a half if I say so!”

This confused Firestar, as far as she knew no such cartoon was ever made with her. But there was no time for that now, “Who are you and what are you doing in my house??”

Her intruder giggled, “Gwenpool, you probably have no clue who I am, I checked and it looks like I’m still skinny for now. Which means…I’m irrelevant. Again, for now anyway.”

Firestar was no less bright to the situation, nothing Gwenpool was saying made sense. She was clearly insane (Hey! I resent that!) Sorry. Gwenpool lifted her body off the couch, she reached out her hands giving a full view of her bingo wings that dropped down to her sides! Suddenly her hands disappeared and reappeared with her now carrying a tube that was still stretching past whatever veil of reality Gwenpool was reaching out of.

Firestar had seen enough, blasting a wave of fire at her attacker, not enough to kill but enough to hopefully buy some time.

“C’mon that’s like the easiest trick in the book to avoid,” said a voice behind Firestar, she turned to see Gwenpool appeared right behind her out of nowhere! Was she a teleporter, the mutant Avenger thought before getting the tube into her mouth! Gwen’s mountainous belly knocked the much smaller woman down to the floor as the tube was funneling liquefied shakes by the second!

Firestar was distraught, this was unlike anything she ever faced before! She looked down to see her stomach fill up and distend. It only got worse once Gwen waved a spray in her face.

Gwen threw the spray can away, “That’ll help you not explode I hope. That wouldn’t be fun. Luckily AIM still had those virus lying around before the Avengers destroy them in about…-” her head disappeared as the super-sized woman somehow got on her tippy toes to peek out of reality, “-Two chapters, I think my old pal Kate should be long obese for the rest of her existence by then. Ol J-Drew too. Don’t worry Bizarro-Starfire, you’ll outpace them soon enough!”

Firestar grew more worried, not only was she consuming a seemingly endless amount of food down her gullet from another reality but her whole body was expanding exponentially by the second! And Gwenpool just sat by and watched. And laughed. Like it was all a game.

Hours went by, Angelica could only watch as her feet disappeared, covered not only by her belly but her chest as well, her arms were heavy and exhausting to try and lift. Her bottom half didn’t fare better either, as her thigh gap was no more and the only thing keeping her legs apart was the massive globular belly between them. Her bottom was pushing itself higher and higher as more fat accumulated over itself repeatedly. There was no way the heroine could move now, she cried at the realization that she accepted letting the food into her would be her only pleasure left to experience.

Eventually Gwenpool got bored. And took the tube out and let it back into the gutter space. She eyed her latest masterpiece, Firestar turned into a completely immobile blob of fat. Gwen laughed, “Ok I know the author of this universe loves his numbers so I’m gonna guess you’re about One thousand and six hundred…something-I-don't-know pounds. I only got so much guesstimating experience!”

Firestar could barely muster a word, but mustered it she did, “Why?”

Gwen turned her massive body towards the even more massive one, “You’re an Avenger but not a NEW Avenger, you’re an X-man but this universe hasn’t made them important yet. You don’t show up in any future storylines, you just exist on the sidelines. So I gave you the spotlight and made you the biggest lady this side of the universe will see for a long time…” the villain leaned in close on the giant mound of fat Firestar, “But no one will probably see you anyway. You’ll be found in-universe I’m sure but as far as the narrative goes? Honey, it couldn't care less about you. And that’s where I thrive…”

As Gwenpool hopped out of existence, Firestar tried heating up to maybe fly to safety or get help…but all it did was make her hungry…

~~

Gotham City on Earth 92 wasn’t too different from other Gothams, so Gwenpool had no problem adjusting. While admittedly she had grown up more of a Marvel gal she had enough DC knowledge to pass by. This particular universe as her own home universe felt an odd kinship with it. Likely an author connection Gwen didn’t bother to explore. For now she had a mission.

“-And that’s why Batman’s the real villain of Gotham, beating on the downtrodden underbelly of the city to control the streets under his steel-toed boots-See? Not just a pretty little body, I got the brains to back it up too!” a dark haired woman was saying into her home camera streaming to whoever was listening.

Alexis Kaye had a fascination with the criminal mind, seeing the chaos they sowed for the city as one of liberation. And one shined brighter than ever, The Joker. Alexis wanted nothing more than to be the punchline to his antics, so she would train and spread his gospel until she got his attention. Word was his old flame Harley Quinn had porked up big time, there was no better time to sweep in and impress the clown prince of crime!

However Kaye couldn’t quite get the abs she figured would be necessary. She’d eat in moderation but she was in fact too lazy to actually exercise into shape. She fit into the costume she made but without the proper skill Alexis could still be knocked down by a belly bump by Harley! If she wanted to be Punchline she’d have to commit to the bit.

Alexis was carrying her junk food out to her window to toss it to the trash can outside her apartment, as soon as she was done she would go on to continue making her costume. The Gothamite hurled the bags of snacks into the air tumbling down. Kaye rubbed her hands together for a job well done, only to be shocked by the food dropping back on her table. Ten times bigger than before.

What was more shocking was the black and pink behemoth dropping down from the ceiling like she was phasing through!

Gwenpool cracked her neck(?) “Y’know from the worm’s eye view that bag looks WAY bigger, guess carrying it back to your place carried on its size.”

Kaye was too stunned to speak.

Gwen continued, “That’s a joke, I knew it would work like that. Simple perspective trick. Probably doesn’t work as well in a non-visual medium. I mean, what do you actually see? That wasn’t described already?”

Alexis nervously looked around, trying to take note of the environment but could only really focus on the lady in front of her that would have eclipsed even Wonder Woman in sheer girth, only uttering “B-big lady…”

Gwen rolled her eyes, “Figures, okay, we did the easy tube option first, gotta get more creative here,” she rationalized after tossing the giant bag of food onto Alexis, trapping the smaller woman!

Waddling closer and unwrapping all of the food for easier consumption, Gwenpool spotted her victim’s head peeking out from the pile.

“W-what’s going on?” Alexis exclaimed, only for a morsel of a chip the size of a plate was offered to her mouth.

Gwen sighed, “Listen, the guy upstairs is a big Harley Quinn fanboy, this is about as far as you were ever going to get in this world. At least you can fit in with the blobs in Belle Reve, although you probably won’t even get to cameo there.”

“What are you talking about??”

“Alexis Kaye, you're a lazy bum, I'm eight times as big as you and I have more muscle, at least here you don’t have to move or struggle to free yourself. But if you’re going to eat all of this, I’d hurry.”

Gwenpool waddled into another window of reality as Kaye was screaming to come back and help her. In truth, Poole knew it would take a while for Alexis to truly become gigantic. Why multiple fics she read used supernatural means of weight gain most of the time was because the process was slow even if simple in concept. And while this grand villain was patient, she was rarely patient enough to watch over this process by every second.

So instead she watched who would become Punchline grow frame by frame, skipping to see her belly peek out from the pile, her fat feet becoming visible to Gwen’s eye but never again to Alexis, her face fat becoming rounder and rounder.

After about a week and a half, but a minute or two to Gwen, she stepped back in to see Alexis, still wearing a purple sweater looking more like a crop top that acted as her only piece of surviving clothes, enormously fat. She hadn’t gotten as big as Firestar previously, she didn’t even look over a thousand pounds. But Alexis’ laziness would ensure she wouldn’t be losing any weight soon.

Gwen wasn’t completely heartless (by which there was about 2% of a heart left) as she helped Kaye up to her couch and set her streaming setup around herself. If there was any luck, Alexis would find some lucrative in gaining on streams to support herself and more importantly seal the deal on official immobility. 

Punchline never got to be in Earth-92, and Gwenpool knew the world wouldn’t truly change one way or another. But another had become utterly fat, so her job was complete.

Back in the gutter space, Gwen looked around for other worlds. Finding many in turmoil, chaos made it easy to spread more chaos unknowingly to the rest of the world. And after some searching, Gwenpool found the perfect target.

~~

Earth 12621 was going through a crisis, the demon Chthon had possessed the Scarlet Witch and through a freak of fate, she was causing many of the world’s heroines too fat to fight back! Hundreds of pounds upon hundreds of heroines was a call for emergency to stop Wanda. One such hero was the famous Spider-man, joining in on the Avengers to stop the possessed mutant magician at any cost. But this isn’t his story…

Mary Jane Watson-Parker was waiting by the window, listening to her headphones so that she didn’t go insane with boredom and grief. She always understood when her husband had to get out for an emergency but this felt different. So many allies were dropping like flies, mostly due to their large bellies keeping them near the ground. Heck, Peter and MJ had seen the damage their friend Sue Storm took with the Fantastic Four member nearly tripling in size! From there on out, the redhead like many other civilians took shelter in soft quarantine.

MJ didn’t mind too much, she had a direct line to more than one Avenger and a few X-men as well if she ever got in danger. The redhead was twirling her shorter shoulder-length hair between her fingers, noting the lengthened monotony was more stressful than anything else. She was snacking on a few crackers to occupy her time. Some people around the city were afraid to go out for food at this time, but MJ thought that was ridiculous. These heroines were getting fat off of magic, not overindulgence!

The redheaded actress was going to call it a night and head to bed when she got a buzzing on her side pocket, answering her phone to an unknown number but one with an Avengers logo at the end. MJ gulped and answered it, hoping for the best and that Peter was safe.

“Miss Watson-Parker? We need you to meet me outside, Scarlet Witch found our base and took some of the Avengers out. Spider-man had to help the remaining members but he asked me to move you to a safe location!” the voice on the other end said with urgency.

MJ wasn’t one to waste time, she responded quickly that she’ll be right up. Quickly getting ready to go out and exiting her apartment and heading to the rooftop!

And once she did the redhead was greeted by someone who had only looked slightly smaller than Sue earlier! The caped black and pink Avenger was unfamiliar to MJ but at this point there weren’t many options.

MJ ran up to her escort, “Crud, did Wanda hit you too? How are you still active?”

The heroine answered, “My weight doesn’t exactly limit my powers, I just handled it better than most, I’m used to weird stuff. Gwenpool by the way. No relation to either!” 

MJ didn’t think too much of it, so her name was Gwen, lots of people were probably named Gwen. That wasn’t a concern now. The redhead got in close to the massive figure squeezing tight… “What are you doing?” Gwenpool asked.

MJ suddenly got embarrassed, “Uh, sorry babe just used to swinging out of an emergency,” explaining with a laugh and a shrug.

Gwenpool took her hand, “I got a different means of transportation, just don’t freak out,” she instructed.

And then the pair leaped out of reality.

Mary Jane was awestruck at the sight of panels peeking across her world, seeing multiple heroines being fattened by the Scarlet Witch was terrifying, but Gwenpool was leading her away from it all. Heading towards a panel with…a large feast?

Landing back in, Gwen sat MJ down at the table full of food, “What is all this? Are there more people coming?” she asked.

“Nope, it's all for you MJ.” Gwen answered.

“I don’t understand…”

“Listen, you’re a bigger deal than you think Mary Jane,” Gwenpool began to explain, “Sure in this universe the author isn’t going to focus on you much, wanting to put spotlight on lesser used characters which I suppose I respect-”

“I’m sorry? Author?” Mary Jane asked while starting to take a bite of the food laid out for her.

“Don’t worry about it, but my point is that MY author, she’s taken quite the liking to you, all versions of you from across the multiverse!”

“I don’t follow…”

“And this author loves to see you superbly fat more than most things…”

MJ’s eyes went wide, she’d been tricked! This wasn’t a savior but someone sent to sabotage her body! But…she couldn’t stop taking bites. She just needed one more she told herself.

Using her remaining willpower, the newly imprisoned foodie asked, “Are you a servant of that demon Chthon as well?”

The pink and black behemoth shook her hands, “Nah, not my business, not even from this universe! But lemme check in on you when you’re done here!” she said while hopping back out of reality.

Gwen saw MJ eat the rest of the food in a series of panels like a film reel, once she was done eating Gwen reached down…and plucked MJ out of reality again and back in time and space to when the food had remained uneaten.

Mary Jane barely resisted even after this impossible feat happened, she didn’t care she was being put in a time loop where the only thing that carried on was her caloric intake. Maybe there was something put in the food, maybe that Gwenpool character was influencing her actions or this author she mentioned? Or maybe…Maybe she was just meant to be a glutton at the end of the day?

The now-former actress tried counting how many times she was taken back to the start of her culinary journey but after so long it barely mattered. Her bottom half had destroyed the chairs that would reappear each time she was dropped back but the sheer amount of fat pushed her up so high it barely made a difference. No matter how gorged her belly got or how fat her arms were getting, Mary Jane Watson was not backing from this fight to empty the table at every given opportunity. One more meal she would wish for eventually, embracing the loop she was in.

Gwenpool smiled to herself, a job fattening up another MJ beyond belief was an honor every time. Her author would undoubtedly be pleased with the results, since the redhead had now surpassed one thousand pounds. With no magic involved, even if the heroes somehow reversed this spell from Wanda and Chthon, MJ's body would still remain huge. But Gwen had the feeling that the spell wouldn’t be going away anytime soon…

In time Gwenpool figured enough was enough, stepping back to pick up the massive Mary Jane from a distance and place her back into her apartment, only moments after she had technically left! One moment Mary Jane Watson-Parker had been an ordinary 120-pound model and actress, now she was a foodie living in the quadruple-digits and utterly immobile.

Spider-man would definitely be in for a shock when he came home, with any luck everyone would assume it was the work of Chthon anyways.

Another MJ was fat, so all was right in the world, so Gwenpool moved on. Onto another world…

~~

At this current time, one world was already underway in a planet-wide fattening scheme, albeit more subtle than Gwenpool would have liked, which would have been near-impossible to track if you weren’t a cosmic outsider with omniscient viewing opportunities.

Or just one of the greatest detectives in the world.

Renee Montoya forced a door open, investigating a trail left by Lexcorp. Of course given their boss, there were too many trails to track But the Question was looking for a specific answer, one that could explain what the reclusive Lena Luthor could be up to. Were the food exports hiding something? Not to mention several women around the city plumping up more and more, especially the late half-ton Supergirl. Given her connection to Lex’s kinder half, Renee figured her gain was related to whatever was going on here at Lexcorp. Nowhere better to check than the source. All the while Gwen giggled with glee as she spotted her next target.

The faceless investigator looked around, conveyor belts of evidence being processed. All she needed was a sample, readying her gloves the former officer prepared to stick a syringe in a pie passing her way until-

SPLAT

The Question hit face first into the pie, making a mess of her featureless mask, temporarily blinding the heroine until she got a blow to the head by a sword hilt!

When Renee came to, she was unmasked, still dressed in her distinctive blue trench coat while tied to a rather large conveyor belt. Given the sword, the Question suspected to see the Ravager, former Teen Titan and Lena’s rumored hired muscle. Instead she was questioning who this gargantuan lady in front of her even was!

Since reading her intentions was much easier without the blank mask, Gwen simply patted the detective’s flat stomach “Hey, I'm Gwenpool, I'm from another dimension and these operations are way too important for you to ruin Miss Montoya! Yes I watched your cartoon, much more than Amazing Friends.”

Renee had run out of questions to ask, not only by being too confused, but by her captor flipping on the conveyor belt switch. Just then loads of pies were loading right into the woman’s mouth. Already starting the expansion of her middle and bottom, the Question wasn’t going to be asking anything anytime.

However, Gwenpool herself was curious about what was going on here. Given wherever she looked across this reality, Lena Luthor was nowhere to be found. So while Montoya grew and grew, Gwenpool started “hopping” around in search of the centerpiece of this fattening scheme. With Earth-888 seemingly free of the lardy Luthor, Gwen guessed the next best place, the Sister’s Eye. Home of the Fulltimate Alliance, an ally of Gwen’s old Plus-Stars team. She herself attended the opening at the Infinity Feast long ago. Normally you would need a remote portal to visit the space station, but Gwenpool was anything but normal.

Peeking into the station, the black and pink clad villain saw the usual, fat superheroes waddling around, eating even more, and not too much open space. But there was one room that almost no one attended, all the way at the bottom. Where Gwen found her target and some very interesting faces.

Lena Luthor in her custom armor, an equally fat Emma Frost, and Yelena Belova who looked to be smaller than Gwen herself. She also spotted Blackfire, someone Gwen had gotten used to fattening up alongside her sister to force them to get along, and Deathstroke, the only man who looked like he was there solely for the money. Someone that was a bit more jarring to see was Clea Strange, dressed like her brief Socereress Supreme era. Someone had an attachment. There were a few others Gwen didn’t recognize and figured they must have been original characters. An oversight in her fattening plans, but she had figured that sticking to established big two was the quickest road to success. All in all, this group didn’t look too friendly, especially as they looked at holograms of multiple Earths and the percentage of their populations who were getting fatter. Peeking in on this panel of reality, Gwenpool smiled. Sure it looked like their plans were slow going at the moment, but she could always sit by and watch them try. And if they needed help? Well, who’s to say Gwen couldn’t have some fun.

Then Gwen noticed something deeper, Lena, Clea, Yelena, all of them were from Earths visited in this story. Of course she knew she was in a story, she had to be given focus on these events for a reason. She wondered…

Poole looked back at Renee’s progress, seeing the woman was well past Lena’s own weight by now, reaching with a giant finger to shove the grounded detective away. Before looking up, grabbing the edges of reality, and-

Hopping back into the gutter space, Gwenpool stretched her gargantuan body, and began making her own plans, watching the heroines, watching the villains, and reaching out for some popcorn from another universe…
