Created by Dave White in 1994 for his college newspaper, ''The Japanese Beetle'' is an AffectionateParody of the superhero genre, playfully poking fun at both ComicBookTropes and outright skewering specific storylines, like Frank Miller's seminal ''TheDarkKnightReturns''. The series exists in several incarnations, but as of 2005 stopped updating, and seems to have been forgotten.
