Weak mechanical feedback from young, metal-poor super star clusters promotes suppression of potential energy-driven outflows. These conditions are predicted to elevate C IV 1550 nebular emission. We present the first nebular C IV imaging of a nearby star-forming complex. The observations are obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope using ACS/SBC, targeting Mrk 71, a starburst complex in the local, metal-poor galaxy NGC 2366. This system is a spatially resolved analog of the Green Pea galaxies and a candidate Lyman continuum emitter.
