History WebComic / EvilInc

** Though it should be said, they mostly sell inventions to supervillains, and most of their corporate strategies involve [[StepThreeProfit somehow getting stockholders behind super-villainy]]. They aren't so much selling their fancy techonlogies to the regular consumers.

''[[http://www.evil-comic.com/ Evil Inc.]]'' is a superhero {{Webcomic}} created by Brad Guigar, that started running in May 2005 and currently updates Monday-Friday (with occasional Saturday [[CutAndPasteComics filler strips]]). [[SpiritualSequel Somewhat of a continuation]] of Guigar's previous strip, ''Webcomic/GreystoneInn'', it revolves around the titular company which is run, staffed and provides entirely legitimate services for supervillains. Its CEO is Evil Atom, a once powerful and feared supervillain who is now somewhat past his prime.

* ArtEvolution: In later strips some characters' faces become more realistic, starting with the women but then expanding to most characters. Especially noticable with Miss Match.

** Lightning Lady's husband actually managed this, thanks to someone giving her a robot duplicate of herself.

* LavaAddsAwesome: the fight between Captain Heroic and [[spoiler:Wingman]]. Cap has no problem with having ''bathed in lava'' to retrieve his [[spoiler: Commander USA secret decoder ring, which he then uses to ''knock Wingman out''.]]

* LampshadedDoubleEntendre:
-->'''Evil Atom:''' Try not to look like a credit-card lobbyist.
-->'''Desdemona:''' Believe me, there's ''nothing'' [[FakeBoobs plastic]] about me

--->'''Evil Atom:''' You're not the first hero to ask for this, you know. We've had a [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor revolving door]] installed for [[XMen Mystique]] alone.

* BiologicalMashup: Dr. Muskiday is essentially a humanoid fly, his condition the result of a teleporter accident. He inverts [[TheFly the usual]] order of things though, in that the original Dr. Muskiday [[MeaningfulName was the]] ''[[MeaningfulName fly]]''.

* FaceHeelTurn: Phenomenal Lass. [[spoiler:And, later, Elastic Man.]] Among others:

The main character of the strip was initially Lightning Lady, the EnsembleDarkhorse of ''Greystone Inn'' who at the beginning of the strip takes a job at Evil Inc. as a secretary- Later on, the strip gradually changed focus towards Captain Heroic, the number one hero in the unnamed city the strip is set in, and Miss Match, another Evil Inc. employee (though Lightning Lady still appears regularly in Saturday comics). A while into the strip (a point which Guigar has once called the "official" launch of Evil Inc.) it's revealed that the two are married and have a son, Oscar. Their opposite moral alignments has caused some conflict but they appear to be HappilyMarried.

* FiveBadBand:

* HeelFaceTurn: Played with. Amazing Amazon tries to discredit [[spoiler:Lightning Lady]] by dressing as her to make it look like she's done this. It works so well that [[spoiler:LL's]] attempts to prove she's evil just make it "worse". [[spoiler: She eventually has to do a ''genuinely'' heroic act to keep from dissapointing a little girl who idolises her. Who, it turns out, was being paid by Amazing Amazon...]]

* LoveMakesYouEvil: [[spoiler:Elastic Man's]] reason for becoming a FallenHero.

* TheMafia: Evil, Inc is hired by the Mafia to steal one family's "superweapon" for another. [[spoiler: It turns out it's [[ChekhovsBoomerang Project X]].]]
