History Webcomic / Redd

* JokerImmunity: Played with. The world has no death penalty, supervillians go to [[TailorMadePrison Tailor-Made Prisons]] outside government authority [[CardboardPrison (that they keep breaking out of),]] and the [[EvenEvilHasStandards superheroes and supervillains themselves]] keep a ''[[WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers Venture Bros.]]''-esque policy of ThouShallNotKill… other supers. Any InnocentBystander is free game for the villains. In fact, if you happen to break this rule, you are deemed a [[CapeBusters “Cape Killer”]] [[TheDreaded and a guy named]] [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast “The Enforcer”]] will come and murder you in turn. [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]] quickly by [[MegaCorp IBISEC]], who believes that keeping supervillians around does more harm than good. Cue Redd fighting her first supervillian, [[OneHitKO starting and ending]] with a NeckSnap.

* ShoutOut: [[ShoutOut/{{Redd}} Has its own page.]]

* BigBreastPride: Redd, to the point where [[DoesNotLikeShoes she refuses to wear a bra]] despite it being uncomfortable for her to run without one.

* {{Gainaxing}}: "[[DoesNotLikeShoes No bra]] can hold '''[[BigBreastPride me.]]"'''

* FloatingLimbs: Redd's floating hands. One of the few times where it's [[JustifiedTrope Justified.]] (See the entries for HandicappedBadass and ILoveNuclearPower.)

* BewareTheSillyOnes: Redd has reservations about killing a supervillain because he's human, [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman unlike the monsters she's fought in the past]]. After being given the villain's [[ListOfTransgressions rapsheet]] and being told that he's too dangerous to the civilian populace to keep alive, [[LetsGetDangerous she changes her mind]] and the readers are made aware how serious she is when she jumps from her transport towards the villain. [[DeathGlare JESUS]] [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver CHRIST, VICKY.]]

* EvilIsCool: In-universe. [[AwesomeMcCoolname Esmerelda Bizarre]] studied the forgotten art of Flesh Magic. Despite the fact that she uses her LovecraftianSuperpower [[DarkIsNotEvil for good]], she ''still'' [[APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil got kicked out of magic school]] AND her ex-peers ''still'' [[CoolPeopleRebelAgainstAuthority want to be just like her.]]

--> '''Ezzie:''' [[DissonantSerenity Thanks!]] [[MsFanservice I like how you sort'a just jiggle by default.]]

* {{Gainaxing}}: [[DoesNotLikeShoes “No bra can hold]] '''[[BigBreastPride me.]]”'''

* IHaveToGoIronMyDog: "[[NoPunctuationIsFunnier REDD CAN I SEE YOU IN THE CHANGING ROOMS FOR AN IMPROMPTU LESBIAN SCENE]] [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial OR SOMETHING EQUALLY UNRELATED]]"

* ILoveNuclearPower: [[AvertedTrope Averted.]] Vicky’s dad wanted a superhero for a kid, so he supposedly exposed her to radiation while she was still in the womb. [[HandicappedBadass She ended up being born without arms.]]

Cue Redd fighting her first supervillian, [[OneHitKO starting and ending]] with a NeckSnap.

* MidSeasonUpgrade: Redd’s hands, and often offscreen. [[OnceAnEpisode Many, many times.]] Ultimately, it's justified by IBISEC being a technological powerhouse, which they use to give Redd the appropriate armor for any given mission.

--> '''Ezzie:''' [[GenreSavvy Well I mean, the company's clearly evil.]] Aside from [[AmusingInjuries all the people I stick back together,]] [[CapeBusters you guys are developing]] [[PowerNullifier anti-superhuman weapons and stuff.]] And Frankie Ibis' office [[ManOfWealthAndTaste has that "I'm evil" aesthetic to it.]] Anyone who [[ExecutiveSuiteFight has a nice office]] enjoys their job, [[{{Workaholic}} and anyone who enjoys their job]] [[HiddenAgendaVillain is hiding something. ]]

* ProtagonistTitle

* RedIsHeroic: Nay, [[JustForPun Redd Is]] [[SuperHero Superheroic!]] Also, the [[AppliedPhlebotinum technology]] that powers her floating hands is custom-colored red.

* EyesDoNotBelongThere: Ezzie plays this UpToEleven, since her skin is constantly shifting to include several eyes. Amusingly, she sometimes sprouts them when she's ogling Redd.

''Redd'' is a webcomic featuring the eponymous character Vicky Redd, an armless researcher who sports a set of floating waldos and works on technology involving translating neural signals to instruments. Outside of her research position, she also fights sea monsters (apparently a very common occurrence) and seems to be being groomed by [[MegaCorp a company named IBISEC]] to take down the extant superhero and supervillain community. In 2014, the comic went on hiatus and has since disappeared from the web, though it can still be found [[https://web.archive.org/web/20141203104800/http://www.bumrushcomics.com/?chapters=redd through web archives.]] In the meantime, creator Jack Cayless has moved on towards [[http://themiskatonicgame.tumblr.com/ developing a survival horror/comedy game,]] which features several HumanoidAbomination characters similar to the popular ''Redd'' character, Ezzie.

* CryCute: Redd during somewhat of a [[NothingIsScarier freak-out]] in Chapter 6.

* ZettaiRyouiki: Redd has a Grade B with her hi-tech boots.

'''Spoilers are unmarked.''' '''YouHaveBeenWarned.'''

* GenreSavvy: Redd in spades. She constantly pokes fun at superhero tropes and crosses over into DangerouslyGenreSavvy when she wipes the floor with other supers.

* RaymanianLimbs: Redd's floating hands. One of the few times where it's [[JustifiedTrope Justified.]] (See the entries for HandicappedBadass and ILoveNuclearPower.)
* RedIsHeroic: Nay, [[JustForPun Redd Is]] [[SuperHero Superheroic!]] Also, the technology that powers her [[AppliedPhlebotinum floating]] [[RaymanianLimbs hands]] is custom-colored red.

* CutShort: The comic stopped updating one day in 2014 and its host site has since disappeared from the web, without a proper ending.[[note]]It's suspected that Jack Cayless, the creator of ''Redd'', put the comic on an indefinite hiatus to work on a SurivalHorror VisualNovel [[http://themiskatonicgame.tumblr.com/ game]] he's creating.[[/note]]

* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: Ezzie can give a CheshireCatGrin [[http://www.bumrushcomics.com/?comic=chapter611 like the best of them.]]

* MsFanservice: Redd, of course. For a girl without arms, she's pretty curvy, as well as proud of her figure. Most of [[{{Fanservice}} this]] revolves around her MostCommonSuperpower and [[MaleGaze occasional]] [[FormFittingWardrobe accentuating outfits]].

* SmugSuper: {{Pride}} is the FatalFlaw of superheroes, [[http://www.bumrushcomics.com/?comic=chapter22 according to Mister Ibis.]] His speech about them is basically a hoard of FridgeLogic towards the entire SuperHero genre, spiced up with a big fat WhatTheHellHero to every superhero ever.

* SuperPoweredEvilSide: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] with [[http://www.bumrushcomics.com/?comic=chapter310 Dark Redd.]] Her company made a DealWithTheDevil in order for Redd to fight magic-users, giving her the ability to manifest an [[SuperMode immense amount of magical power]] for a short period of time.

However, the corporation seems to hold the idea of traditional heroes and villains in contempt, and are hoping they can use their tech - along with Redd - to shake up the status quo.
