| 5 | [[folder:League of Super Redundant Heroes]] |
| 6 | !!The League of Super Redundant Heroes |
| 7 | The titular group of [[SuperZeroes almost-heroes]]. Though [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=086-out-ranked ranked below even the cub-scouts]], they occasionally protect Shitropolis. Usually by [[AccidentalHero accident]]. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | !!Troy Popcorn, a.k.a "Lazer Pony" |
| 10 | [[quoteright:149:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lp_portrait.png]] |
| 11 | A blind guy with [[EnergyWeapon lasers]] ''[[BlessedWithSuck behind]]'' [[EyeBeams his eyes]] and [[TheDitz below average intelligence]]. |
| 12 | ---- |
| 13 | * AccidentalAimingSkills: Even accounting for his blindness, this is about the only way he tends to hit anything. |
| 14 | * AccidentalHero: When LP ''does'' hit something, it often stops a major threat. |
| 15 | * AlternateUniverseReedRichardsIsAwesome: In almost every other world in TheMultiverse he's ''Lazer Stallion'' the greatest superhero in the world. |
| 16 | * AtrociousAlias: All of his infinitely more-competent alternate-universe selves use the moniker, "Lazer Stallion" and they are disappointed to hear he uses "Lazer Pony". |
| 17 | * BerserkButton: [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=925-dawn-of-a-new-day Getting lost]], presumably because he has so much unpleasant experience with it. On a related note, he hates hiking because of how easy it is for a blind person to get lost on a hike while experiencing none of the benefits. |
| 18 | * BlessedWithSuck: Was permanently blinded by the first use of his lasers, which come from ''[[ExactWords behind]]'' [[EyeScream his eyes]]. |
| 19 | * BlindMistake: A RunningGag is Lazer Pony getting lost or being taken advantage of due to his lack of vision and brains. |
| 20 | * ChestInsignia: Well forehead insignia. He ''thought'' it was a P for Pony, until an unfortunate stretch of silence from his teammate when he said that made him calmly realize it was actually an L for Loser. |
| 21 | * ChickMagnet: [[ParodySue Mary Sue]], a gorgeous blonde super heroine, is happily dating him and Distractarella, whose entire power is being distractingly attractive, has a huge crush on him. |
| 22 | * DeadpanSnarker: Since Alex joined the team, he has shades of CharacterDevelopment and become much more jaded. |
| 23 | * DisabilityImmunity: His blindness renders him immune to the powers of [[DistractedByTheSexy Distractarella]]. |
| 24 | * TheDitz: Lazer Pony is not the sharpest tool in the shed by any means. |
| 25 | * TheDreaded: In his job as a prison guard for Superpowered villains, oddly, due to an [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=655-getting-your-rep error in judgement]] of the part of one of the inmates. |
| 26 | * ExpressiveMask: The eyeholes on his mask move with his expression. |
| 27 | * EyeBeams: Lazer Pony may be an idiot, but his lasers are ''[[WaveMotionGun incredibly]]'' [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=595-certain-defeat strong]]. |
| 28 | * EyesOutOfSight: He has hair covering his eyes the very rare times we see him out of costume. As he's blind it's hardly a hindrance. And since his EyeBeam power had burned out his eyes five years ago, it's probably best that they aren't visible. |
| 29 | * GroinAttack: Constantly on the receiving end of these, courtesy of [[CrankyLandlord Gyrognome]]. |
| 30 | * HeroInsurance: He's covered for blimps, at the least. |
| 31 | * IdiotHero: Lazer Pony's heart is generally in the right place, at least. |
| 32 | * JustFriends: Gives Distracterella this treatment, both because he finds her somewhat annoying, but more importantly because [[{{Jerkass}} Bad Good Girl]] [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=111-meddling told him she was ugly]]. |
| 33 | ** When Distracterella disguised as Good Girl kisses him he lets his 'friend' down gently by saying the mental image he has of her prevents him from seeing her romantically...since despite being a grown woman, thanks due to GG's personality he sees her as [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=165-perception a pre-teen girl]]. |
| 34 | * KavorkaMan: He's an idiot and rather geeky-looking, but Distracterella has an unanswered crush on him, and he's in a nauseatingly good relationship with Mary Sue. |
| 35 | * KindheartedSimpleton: What he lacks in intelligence and competence he more than makes up for in kindness. |
| 36 | * LethalChef: Lazer Pony is actually a ''[[http://superredundant.com/?comic=294-decisions very]]'' capable cook. ...when he doesn't lose track of [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=245-blind-baking his surroundings]]. Or worse, [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=778-health-food the ingredients]]. |
| 37 | * NoSenseOfDirection: Granted, he's blind. But that [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=238-scenic-route can only]] explain [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=298-dogwalk so much]]. |
| 38 | * OnlySaneMan: Has started to get shades of this since the fantasy world arc, if not a bit before then. Over time, he's somewhat shifted from "naive, bumbling but sweet puppy in human form" to "jaded ButtMonkey who's resigned to how bad his life is," and tends to make more snarky but smart observations about how stupid the others are being, as well as StatingTheSimpleSolution. |
| 39 | * PowerIncontinence: Lazer Pony has a habit of firing accidental blasts for a [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=039-we-need-duct-tape variety of reasons]]. |
| 40 | * RequiredSecondaryPowers: Averted. Lack of immunity to his own lasers is why he's blind in the first place. Justified, as they are implants instead of his natural powers. |
| 41 | * SatelliteLoveInterest: Played with. One of [[ParodySue Mary Sue's]] defining traits is that she is Laser Pony's girlfriend. In story however, he serves as this to ''her''. |
| 42 | * SmartBall: He holds it during most of the whole "Lost in a Fantasy Realm" arc. |
| 43 | * StatusQuoIsGod: Parodied, [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=192-my-gift-my-curse naturally]]. |
| 44 | * SuperZeroes: He's not very bright, and kind of a loser. |
| 45 | * TaughtByTelevision: Watching TV procedurals has given him a surprisingly good idea of how to narrow down results when searching police reports. |
| 46 | * TeamChef: Does the cooking for the League. |
| 47 | * TookALevelInJerkass: He becomes increasingly snarky as the comic progresses. |
| 48 | * UnskilledButStrong: Lazer Pony's powers have the potential to make him one of, if not THE, world's strongest superheroes. But he's both too lazy and too stupid to apply himself properly. |
| 49 | * WaveMotionGun: A rare example where a person fits this trope, rather than KamehameHadoken... as he is [[HamsterWheelPower bolted to the front of a ship]] and [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=600-special-brand-of-help used as the ship's main cannon]]. |
| 50 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Deathly afraid of spiders, and more than willing to use his [[NoKillLikeOverkill powers]] at the [[TriggerHappy mere mention]] of them. |
| 51 | |
| 52 | !!Good Girl |
| 53 | [[quoteright:149:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gg_portrait.png]] |
| 54 | A good helpful Catholic girl, a beacon of sweetness and light, until her Battery of Virtue (halo power) runs out. [[SplitPersonality Then she's kind of mean]]. |
| 55 | ---- |
| 56 | * AbusiveParents: She implies that her father was one, [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=781-childhood-revisited threatening to sleep with his secretary and drink if she didn't behave]]. |
| 57 | * ActionGirl: She's as good at throwing punches as she is at helping others. |
| 58 | * AmbiguouslyEvil: Whether Bad Good Girl is her natural personality or another side effect of her powers is deliberately left vague. |
| 59 | * AndIMustScream: She is ''forced'' to act like this at all times by the halo, no matter how she actually feels. Even if she is always smiling, she's not always [[StepfordSmiler ''smiling'']]. |
| 60 | * TheAntiGrinch: She takes Christmas celebrations rather... ''seriously''. |
| 61 | * AtrociousAlias: Especially when differentiating between her two personas. |
| 62 | * BlessedWithSuck: The halo makes her a paragon of goodness, [[GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul but is increasingly shown to be forced on her]]. Her "bad" persona (which may or may not be her real self) [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=930-lost-property perceives it as robbing her of her freedom and makes it clear that regardless of her other issues she's only truly happy when away from it.]] |
| 63 | * CivvieSpandex: Her normal costume isn't too different from casual clothes, although her ''actual'' casual wear swaps out the skirt for yoga pants. |
| 64 | * GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul: The halo supercharges her goodness, making her extremely and sometimes obsessively cheery, charitable, and abstinent. Though she is ''capable'' of negative emotions (and sometimes well adjusted enough that you could ''almost'' believe her claim that her good self is her "real" self if you didn't know any better), she's generally so positive that it can be a hindrance. |
| 65 | * GoldAndWhiteAreDivine: Her costume in angel mode is a white dress with gold trim. |
| 66 | * GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: One of Bad Good Girl's [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=037-dirty-hero vices]]. |
| 67 | * HartmanHips: Common to the [[ImpossibleHourGlassFigure art style]], but hers are much more prominent than most. |
| 68 | * HeelFaceBrainwashing: Good Girl's halo has this effect when placed upon others. Good Girl is [[BlessedWithSuck stuck with this]], with the halo forcing her to be positive, friendly and cheerful all the time. The effect works by magnifying the target's existing positive qualities, meaning it won't work against someone who doesn't ''have'' a conscience, and it will be useless against a person who's radical enough to genuinely believe they are doing nothing wrong. |
| 69 | * IncorruptiblePurePureness: Her Good Girl persona is this. Her ''Bad'' Good Girl persona... not so much. |
| 70 | * InnocentFanserviceGirl: [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=048-boobie-cam Occasionally in universe]], though to be fair, she thought it was only her, Buckaress and LP in the house at the time. |
| 71 | * JekyllAndHyde: Downplayed example. While Good Girl is a bastion of purity, Bad Good Girl's efforts at doing bad are somewhat... [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=105-rebellion rusty]]. She generally comes off as less evil than bitter and apathetic, stuck in a situation she hates. |
| 72 | * LimitBreak: Has several, including a few distinct virtue-based {{Super Mode}}s (an angel, a knight/crusader, etc), and most dramatically a [[Manga/DragonBall Spirit Bomb]] [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=917-for-goodness-sake pastiche made of pure, concentrated niceness]]. All of these are extremely powerful, but tend to drain the halo completely in one shot. |
| 73 | * MostCommonSuperpower: She has very large breasts and is a superhero. |
| 74 | * NotBrainwashed: She once told Eva that the halo did not make her do anything, and her good girl self was her real personality. The next [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=114-identity panel]] and many future problems with the halo show that she was [[AvertedTrope lying.]] |
| 75 | * NotSoAboveItAll: She is not above basically threatening people with what Bad Good Girl will do to them once her Halo comes off. And she does steal half of Lazer Pony money to donate to charity. Plus she is the only one who doesn't contribute any money to pay the expenses with the excuse that she is too busy with charity work. And she did not tell Lazer Pony that his dog is not a guide dog. |
| 76 | * PingPongNaivete: The balance of pure goodness to mature intelligence varies. Sometimes she has both. Sometimes she's more sly than she seems. And sometimes GoodCannotComprehendEvil so hard that she practically has blinders on. Bad Good Girl implies that the halo sometimes makes her much more naïve than she should be in the process of making her more good. |
| 77 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: A visual cue that Bad Good Girl is in control. |
| 78 | * SpotTheImposter: Parodied. [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=202-double-trouble It's attempted]], but the imposter quickly gives up. |
| 79 | * SuperMode: She eventually unlocks the ability turn into an angel, which amplifies all of her powers significantly. Unfortunately for everyone else, it also drains her halo's battery twice as fast. |
| 80 | * SuperPoweredAlterEgo: Her Good Girl side is this, having numerous powers including flight, while her Bad Good Girl side usually just heads to a bar to blow off steam until the halo recharges. |
| 81 | * VaporWear: Her angelic form [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=717-misery-loves-company apparently lacks underwear]], much to Bad Good Girl's annoyance. |
| 82 | |
| 83 | !!Bad Good Girl |
| 84 | [[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bgg_portrait.png]] |
| 85 | An identical duplicate of Good Girl created by Hexagon. After giving her halo [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=704-divide-and-conquer to the other Good Girl]], she became stuck as Bad Good Girl. [[EvilFeelsGood Not that she minds]].\ |
| 86 | \ |
| 87 | However, after Good Girl burned out the halo during the fantasy arc, the two switched places - resulting in the clone taking her counterpart's place as the "primary" Good Girl. For the purpose of organization and sanity, this section refers to whichever of the two Good Girls was the full-time Bad Good Girl. |
| 88 | ---- |
| 89 | * BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: Good Girl doesn't have it in her to take a life, even against demon lord. [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=715-tempting-fate Bad Good Girl doesn't care]]. |
| 90 | * BloodKnight: She'll gleefully [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=709-motivational-speaker take an excuse]] to beat on someone. |
| 91 | * ClonesArePeopleToo: [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=718-make-it-a-double She's insulted]] when Buckaress implies that she should've disappeared when Hexagon was defeated, even though she's a living being with her own unique experiences (she was [[{{Troll}} deliberately starting conflicts]]). Luckily, Shitropolis has a [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=737-formalities form for clones]]. |
| 92 | * DelinquentHair: During the TimeCrash arc, she winds up in a timeline where she was ''much'' more rebellious and has dyed red/black hair done in [[DevilishHairHorns devil horns]]. |
| 93 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Oddly, [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=722-home-sweet-home she is concerned]] for [[{{Jerkass}} Keith]]'s safety. |
| 94 | * EvilKnockoff: She was originally intended as a ''neutral'' counterpart alongside the other Good Girl, but after fusing the halos she's left as Bad Good Girl full time. |
| 95 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: The rest of the group hate being around her, but Good Girl [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=765-fairs-fair brings her along out of sympathy]]. |
| 96 | * IntimateTelecommunications: Much to Good Girls’ chagrin and outrage, BGG ran a phone sex line from the house, but she has [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=679-being-enterprising rarely needed to take the phone]]. |
| 97 | * {{Jerkass}}: Unlike Good Girl, this is her default state. |
| 98 | * LiteralSplitPersonality: She was split off from Good Girl in order to weaken her, since she was TheChosenOne who could defeat Hexagon. |
| 99 | * MoralityPet: After the split, she and Good Girl formed a sisterly relationship, despite their conflicting world views they've never shown any malice to each other. |
| 100 | * SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains: Downplayed but her outfit definitely highlights her [[ImpossibleHourglassFigure figure]] more than Good Girl's. |
| 101 | * PsychicLink: [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=697-the-abyss Appears to share]] at least [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=717-misery-loves-company some sensations]] with her counterpart. |
| 102 | * ShipTease: Implied to have a VillainousCrush Keith. |
| 103 | * {{Troll}}: She enjoys deliberately misinterpreting everything so she has an excuse to start fights. |
| 104 | |
| 105 | !!Eva, a.k.a. "Buckaress" |
| 106 | [[quoteright:149:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/buckyportrait.png]] |
| 107 | A normal girl in a [[{{Stripperiffic}} poorly-fitting]] {{Cowgirl}} outfit. Joined the group after being blackmailed into spying on them. Later, with Alex's help, manages to become a [[TookALevelInBadass successful hero in her own right]]. |
| 108 | ---- |
| 109 | * ActionGirl: Slowly developing into this. |
| 110 | * AlphaBitch: Downplayed. By her own admission, she was this in her high school days, though Alex believes it was more [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=449-salacious-past her friends than her]], as she was "[[ReallyGetsAround too busy going through the football team]]". |
| 111 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: Subverted. She has darker skin than the others in the League, but it seems to be tan, as she later calls herself white. |
| 112 | * BadLiar: A defining trait from her [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=042-new-recruit initial appearances]] and [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=579-the-evening-begins onward]]. |
| 113 | * BadassLongcoat: She got a long coat as part of her new costume, the badass part is debatable though. |
| 114 | * CleavageWindow: Her Buckaress uniform has one, and she tends to wear clothes with one when out of uniform as well |
| 115 | * FanservicePack: While all superheroines have the standard [[MostCommonSuperpower impressive figure]], after several art-style changes Eva's chest is now at least twice the size of any other girls in the entire series. |
| 116 | * FullyClothedNudity: After a while, she [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=119-normal feels uncomfortable in normal clothing]]. |
| 117 | * ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: She couldn't hit the broadside of a barn if she was a foot away from it. It turns out to be psychological. As a child Eva was a star pitcher but was teased relentlessly by other girls for 'being a boy' because of it, causing her to sabotage herself into throwing poorly. |
| 118 | * ImpossibleHourglassFigure: Fairly standard for the comic's art style, but hers [[ExaggeratedTrope more so than any of the others]]. |
| 119 | * KindheartedCatLover: She has a pet cat named Missy and is a sweetheart at her core (the cat hasn’t been seen for a while). By threatening Missy, Stripperella made Buckaress spy on the [=LoSHRS=] at the behest of the Evil Savant. As soon as Missy’s back with her, Buckaress confesses to the [=LoSHRS=]. |
| 120 | %%* TheLadette |
| 121 | * LethalChef: A running gag is her ability to set fire to any attempt at cooking. Buckaress can set fire to water [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=241-cook-off by trying to boil it]]. She ignites a sandwich [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=265-toasty by placing a slice of ham on bread.]] She does it to Lazer Pony's waffle mix bowl [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=370-making-breakfast just by walking in the kitchen to get some coffee]]. At a sub shop, by [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=393-eat-phresh asking for a sandwich that wasn't on the menu (All she asked for was that they not give her olives)]]. And again at the gym, [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=433-denial by taking the pickles off her sub]]. It's gotten to the point where they use it for practical purposes like [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=656-poor-planning lighting a grill]] or [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=495-full-circle fighting supervillains]]. The effect becomes so strong that even [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=504-meatballin invoking her name becomes enough to set food on fire]]. Some people have speculated that it's some form of [[PlayingWithFire pyrokinesis]] that's triggered whenever she thinks about cooking, but according to every test that has been run on her, she has no actual superpowers. |
| 122 | * MostCommonSuperPower: Initially her ''[[http://superredundant.com/?comic=327-on-the-job only]]'' power. ArtEvolution has taken this even further as she is the most ''gifted'' female character shown. |
| 123 | * MsFanservice: Her initial outfit was very {{Stripperific}}, and her current one while more professional still displays a 'lot' of cleavage. As the art style shifted, Eva was drawn to clearly have much larger breasts than any other female. |
| 124 | * NeverGetsFat: Almost literally says so as the reason why she keeps her figure while not eating well or doing exercise. But she does stop being a slob as part of her character development and desire to be a better heroine. |
| 125 | * ReallyGetsAround: Especially in her [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=040-old-enemies younger days]]. |
| 126 | * SemanticSuperpower: Her inability to cook acts this way. It's not just that whatever she tries cooking will catch fire, rather 'any' involvement in the preparation of food will cause it to catch fire. Removing pickles from a sandwich will make the sandwich catch fire, asking for no olives on a sub will make it catch fire, saying how she wants her steak prepared will make it catch fire, singing her name while mixing something will make the bowl catch fire. Even being in close proximity to food being prepared will make it catch fire. |
| 127 | * {{Stripperific}}: Her first outfit in particular. [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=213-revenue-plans Lampshaded when they try to get her a job at a strip club]] |
| 128 | ** Her real, tailored costume makes her look like a proper hero, but hides only slightly more of her bosom than the minimum required to keep her decent. |
| 129 | * SuperZeroes: Initially, given she wasn't really a superhero at all. |
| 130 | * TookALevelInBadass: After getting over some of her issues and getting a bit of CharacterDevelopment. |
| 131 | * TraumaButton: Triggered by [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=445-childhood-trauma discussing]] her incredibly poor throwing ability. |
| 132 | * YouthfulFreckles: After the ArtEvolution she sports triads of freckles on both her cheeks and [[{{fanservice}} boobs]]. |
| 133 | |
| 134 | !!Keith |
| 135 | [[quoteright:149:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/keith_portrait.png]] |
| 136 | Lazer Pony's roommate and a normal guy with the attitude of a [[FratBro frat boy]], an almost total [[TheSlacker lack of work ethic]], and an [[ComedicSociopathy amusingly disturbing lack of empathy]]. |
| 137 | ---- |
| 138 | * TheAlcoholic: Drinks more than anyone else in the cast. |
| 139 | * BerserkButton: Downplayed. While Keith is normally pretty calm and apathetic about everything, seeing a streaming of someone [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=943-stream-of-consciousness play videogames “wrong”]] gets him riled up. |
| 140 | * ChickMagnet: Bad Good Girl and "Tinkerbell" both seem attracted to him and he used to date Mary Sue until ''he'' broke up with ''her''. |
| 141 | * ComedicSociopathy: Generally played for laughs. |
| 142 | * CoolShades: The number of times he is seen without his sunglasses can be counted on one hand. |
| 143 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: After enough promotions. |
| 144 | * DrunkWithPower: Given Keith's [[TheSociopath personality]], it doesn't [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=219-onward-and-upward take long to set in]]. |
| 145 | * {{Fratbro}}: Keith is an older version of this, being a legend for his wild parties. Keith still tries to live the lifestyle or make it appear he does, but his age is catching up. |
| 146 | * GirlOnGirlIsHot: Keith is a firm [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=507-mornin believer in this]]. |
| 147 | * TheHedonist: He revels in his laziness. |
| 148 | * {{Jerkass}}: Keith is unapologetically self-centered. |
| 149 | * LazyBum: Such that his only objection to the house being sealed in another dimension is that the batteries in the television remote ran out. |
| 150 | * MeanBoss: Cheerfully [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=220-a-donation-has-been-made tazes subordinates who slack off]], despite his own work ethic. |
| 151 | %%* TheScrooge |
| 152 | * TheSlacker: He puts the bare minimum of effort into everything he does. |
| 153 | * TheStoic: Rarely shows any emotion except boredom. |
| 154 | * TakingAdvantageOfGenerosity: Tends to spend Lazer Pony's share of the rent on his own desires, with predictable [[GroinAttack results]] for Lazer Pony when [[CrankyLandlord Gyrognome]] drops by. |
| 155 | |
| 156 | !!Gyrognome |
| 157 | [[quoteright:149:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gyro_portrait.png]] |
| 158 | A [[RetiredBadass former superhero]] and former founding member of [[SuperTeam The Power Group]], as well as the cantankerous landlord for the League of Super Redundant Heroes. Fear his tiny powerful fists, especially when your rent's due. |
| 159 | ----- |
| 160 | * BattleStrip: He does this when assailed by cats. |
| 161 | * BringIt: [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=020-bring-it Word for word]]. Against attacking housecats. |
| 162 | * TheCasanova: Gyrognome [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=185-selfless-sacrifice repeatedly]] [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=510-gift-fallout demonstrates]] he is no slouch in art of seduction. |
| 163 | * ChildHater: He does not like children in the slightest. Eventually, he starts [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=508-holiday-spirit putting effort into expressing this]]. |
| 164 | * CrankyLandlord: And unapologetically so. |
| 165 | * DirtyOldMan: Gyrognome definitely [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=258-beach-fun fits the bill]]. |
| 166 | * FramingTheGuiltyParty: Seems to be Gyrognome's [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=037-dirty-hero SOP]], going overboard on it [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=286-city-guardian every single time]]. |
| 167 | * GoodIsNotNice: He's a hero, but he's not shy about attacking his tenants. |
| 168 | * GroinAttack: Gyrognome inflicts these upon Lazer Pony on a constant basis, usually over late rent. Lazer Pony's efforts to protect himself [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=129-the-attachment only make things worse]]. In fact, Gyrognome's love of inflicting these [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=520-breakthrough comes up during his therapy]]. |
| 169 | %%* GrumpyOldMan |
| 170 | * HeCleansUpNicely: Surprisingly, when he [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=119-normal puts the effort in]]. |
| 171 | * ItCameFromTheFridge: Or at least, it does when his [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=260-keeping-your-cool fridge is broken and the lent is late]]. |
| 172 | * JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: He offers to take Lazer Pony out to a bar...[[http://superredundant.com/?comic=185-selfless-sacrifice so he can use him to pick up chicks.]] |
| 173 | * LaserGuidedKarma: For his MaliciousMisnaming of Asstronomus. At least, by the standards of one [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=182-ass-ignment who hates kids as much as he does]]. |
| 174 | * LongLived: [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=026-gyrognome-origin Over 300 years old]] and still going strong. |
| 175 | * PubertySuperpower: Gyrognome's powers manifested at the ripe young age of 112. |
| 176 | * SirSwearsALot: When you get him riled up, [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=023-language he's quite foul-mouthed]]. |
| 177 | |
| 178 | !!Belle, aka "Tinkerbell" |
| 179 | [[quoteright:168:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/strip_977.jpg]] |
| 180 | |
| 181 | An [[CallAPegasusAHippogriff "elf"]] from the fantasy world who the league had to kidnap [[ItMakesSenseInContext to stop her from starting a war over fried chicken]] in her world. She's taken a liking to modern amenities, and acts as MissionControl. |

| 183 | * CallAPegasusAHippogriff: She's blatantly a fairy, but insists that she's actually an elf. |
| 184 | * GamerChick: She uses the League's computer to stream games while they're not out on missions. |
| 185 | * LikeADuckTakesToWater: At first she's out-of-place in the modern world, but quickly takes a liking to it when she finds out that they have hot water on-demand. She's able to quickly get versed in navigating a computer and eventually takes up a side gig as a streamer. |
| 186 | * {{Lilliputians}}: She's only a few inches tall, so she needs to custom-order all of her gaming gear. Luckily, this is a superhero universe, so there's plenty of {{Sizeshifter}}s who can provide tech at her size. |
| 187 | * MissionControl: Once the [=LOSRHs=] decide to start taking their superhero careers more seriously, they get "Tinkerbell" to operate their computer from the home base. They even set up a special fairy-sized control panel on a smartphone for her to use. |
| 188 | * NoNameGiven: Her real name hasn't been given on panel yet, other than her nickname of Tinkerbell. Lampshaded in one strip, where she doubts that they even know her name. She eventually decides to change her name to Belle since no one was using her real one anyway. |
| 189 | * {{Sizeshifter}}: She eventually [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=1364-getting-on-the-level developed a spell that let her grow to human size]] so she could use appliances and have sex [[HotSkittyOnWailordAction easier]]. |

| 195 | A young woman working as a freelance hero, as well as Eva's girlfriend. She's also Eva's mentor in superheroing, eventually teaching her how to be an actual BadassNormal. |
| 196 | ---- |
| 197 | * ActionGirl: She kicks butt with the best. |
| 198 | * BadassNormal: She has no powers, relying on gadgets and martial arts, but she does seem to be a fairly effective superhero in spite of it. |
| 199 | * BlackAndNerdy: But only for certain things. She is a gamer, a huge fan of Star Trek and plays up the image being a dark and broody hero, but [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=902-the-source has zero knowledge of LOTR despite her girlfriend being a huge nerd for it]]. Another comic shows the two arguing over the two on movie night. |
| 200 | * ClosetKey: For Eva. |
| 201 | * {{Expy}}: To ComicBook/{{Batwoman}} and [[Characters/BatmanHuntress Huntress]]. A lesbian BadassNormal, ActionGirl who modelled herself after her late, [[RetiredBadass retired]] BatmanParody father. |
| 202 | %%* GuileHeroine |
| 203 | * GrapplingHookGun: Owns one, which [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=325-wonderful-toys she notes]] isn't exactly hard to acquire in Shitropolis. |
| 204 | --> '''Defendress:''' We're in the city with the highest population of vigilantes in America. They sell this in, like, '''every''' hardware store. |
| 205 | * TheLeader: To spite never officially joining the team and being having a much shorter Superhero career, she frequently takes this role when joining the team on missions. |
| 206 | * LipstickLesbian: Between her and Eva, Alex is more traditionally feminine in her civilian persona. |
| 207 | * HypocriticalHumor: When faced with a parody show making fun of the group, [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=854-coincidences she advocates ignoring it and staying on task]] [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=855-the-high-road until she finds out they also made fun of her]]. |
| 208 | * InsufferableGenius: As a parody of Batman, this has essentially become her hat since joining the league more consistently. She tends to try to step over the others to make decision calls, theories and big plans, and is often disgruntled [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=856-backstage-pass when people either don't go along with them]] or they just don't pan out like she thinks. |
| 209 | --> '''Eva:''' [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=891-bad-storytelling We're banned from three movie theatres because of her.]]\ |
| 210 | '''Alex:''' If they didn't want me interrupting, then they should make the plot less obvious! |
| 211 | * NotSoAboveItAll: She ''usually'' has more sense and composure than her peers, but not ''always''. |
| 212 | * OnlySaneWoman: She initially came across as this, being rather more grounded than most of the people in Shitropolis. After joining the [=LoSRH=]s however, her competence took a decline. |
| 213 | * PlotArmor: Invoked and parodied. Apparently they sell actual plot armor at superhero stores. It's even got DisneyDeath as a [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=477-convenience built-in feature]]. |
| 214 | * SirSwearsALot: She's normally fairly polite, but when pushed she can [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=355-debate spew more profanity]] than anyone else in the comic short of Gyrognome. |
| 215 | * TomboyishName: Her full name is Alexis. Eva was set up on a BlindDate with Alex by a coworker, and she initially assumed Alex was a man. |
| 216 | * TooCleverByHalf: A RunningGag in the fantasy world arc, [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=907-insight where every single decision she makes turns out to be the wrong]] to the point where she just rolls with it. While it's not ''as'' consistent afterwards, the "tries to be TheSmartGuy, only succeeds sometimes" gag has since stuck, moving her out of the OnlySaneMan slot. The others have clearly rubbed off on her. |

| 222 | ---- |
| 223 | * ActionGirl: She's the greatest female hero in the city. |
| 224 | * BreastExpansion: She can eat as much fatty food as she wants, and the only place she gains weight is in the breasts. |
| 225 | * CuteClumsyGirl: One of her only two "flaws". |
| 226 | * FlyingBrick: Among many other powers, she can fly and has super strength and durability. |
| 227 | * IdiotHair: To be precise, an exaggerated parody of Superman's cowlick. |
| 228 | * ImpossibleHourglassFigure: Her figure is a possible byproduct of her powers, and is as annoyingly perfect as the rest of her. |
| 229 | * LeotardOfPower: Her superhero costume is a form-fitting leotard, along with cape, boots, gloves, and domino mask. |
| 230 | * MeaningfulName: As her name implies, she is absolutely perfect in every way, and even what she counts as flaws only serve to make her more likable to other people. As you'd expect, this annoys some of the characters around her. |
| 231 | * OffhandBackhand: Her clumsiness [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=324-hit comes in handy]] when dealing with [[CasanovaWannabe Asstronomus]] |
| 232 | * ParodySue: Nearly her entire character is based around this. |
| 233 | * PerfectionIsStatic: Keith broke up with her because she was too perfect, which got boring. |
| 234 | * WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: Lazer Pony is nice enough, but it's clear she is way out of his league. |

| 239 | A friend of Eva's from high school who took up witchcraft as a hobby and spices up her boring life as a housewife by [[PokeThePoodle inflicting mildly irritating curses]] on her old friend. |
| 240 | ---- |
| 241 | * ArchEnemy: Parodied. She's set up as one for Eva, eventually also [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=873-spill-the-beans latching onto Alex]] after the two started dating. But since she's so bad at villainy and they're so blasé about superheroing, every scheme she cooks up inevitably ends with them all hanging out together instead. |
| 242 | * AlphaBitch: In the past, and still has yet to have matured out of it. |
| 243 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: Very odd even for a supervillain or a witch. Among other silliness, she had to be reminded that [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=880-rags-to-bags access to tons of gold meant she could be obscenely rich]]. |
| 244 | * ContractualGenreBlindness: When she took over a medieval fantasy kingdom, [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=879-death-and-taxes she staunchly refused to introduce improvements like healthcare or better infrastruture]], specifically because it would make it less of a medieval fantasy kingdom. |
| 245 | * DrivenByEnvy: Took up witchcraft solely to get back at Eva for still living the youthful lifestyle. |
| 246 | * HappilyMarried: Her husband is, at worst, wearily resigned to her general eccentricity, but is usually understanding of her need for an outlet (even if he wishes it wasn't something so crazy). |
| 247 | * HiddenDepths: You wouldn't expect an ObnoxiousEntitledHousewife to have read ''Literature/TheHobbit''. |
| 248 | * InsaneTrollLogic: Her justifications for her schemes are typically so self-centered as to be completely nonsensical, and every plot involving her has at least one SeinfeldianConversation about how her vendettas don't really make sense. |
| 249 | %%* ItsAllAboutMe |
| 250 | * MasterOfIllusion: She can produce illusions on a massive scale. |
| 251 | * NoYou: When Eva [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=287-coming-clean points out how nonsensical her motivations are]], she's [[LameComeback somewhat lost for a proper retort]]. |
| 252 | -->'''Josie:''' Well... uh... your '''face''' doesn't make any sense. |
| 253 | * PokeThePoodle: Eva finds the efforts she made to take revenge to be just [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=287-coming-clean "slightly annoying"]]. |
| 254 | %%* VainSorceress |
| 255 | * VictoryIsBoring: Josie is the stereotypical nasty high school queen bee from every movie, but one who ''didn't'' get some [[LaserGuidedKarma Karmic punishment]], and instead got [[KarmaHoudini everything she wanted in life]]. However, she struggles with the pressures of having to be perfect at everything she does. The perfect wife, the perfect employee, and the perfect mother. While others might admire her for seemingly ''having it all'', she is jealous of Eva for not being tied down with responsibility and being able to just have fun at her own leisure. |

| 268 | ---- |
| 269 | * AccidentalMurder: Played for laughs, when he is [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=188-next-in-line belatedly introduced]] to Mosquito Man XIV. |
| 270 | * AllMenArePerverts: Asstronomus is a complete sleaze when it comes to women. |
| 271 | * CasanovaWannabe: Is routinely rejected by women, but is seemingly undeterred. He ''has'' had some luck with {{Cat Girl}}s. |
| 272 | * ClarkKenting: Barry from PR can't possibly be Asstronomus. [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=078-gossip Barry has glasses]]. |
| 273 | * DistractedByTheSexy: [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=148-the-escape Painfully so]], courtesy of Distractarella. |

| 286 | ---- |
| 287 | * ClarkKenting: He maintains a SecretIdentity despite having a SkullForAHead. Although, thanks to his coworker's perceptiveness, [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=065-the-mundane it doesn't take much effort]]. |
| 288 | * GoodParents: He and his wife are portrayed this way, though their son's [[HorrifyingHero choice of hero]] to dress up as on Halloween makes [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=280-hero-worship them rather uneasy]]. |

| 294 | * RepetitiveName: "Phantom Ghost" is rather redundant a name. |
| 295 | * SkullForAHead: That's not part of his costume, his actual head is a skull. Somehow nobody has drawn the connection between Jim and Phantom Ghost. |
| 296 | * TalkShow: Hosts ''[[http://superredundant.com/?comic=071-late-night-show The Midnight Show]]'' as Phantom Ghost. |

| 318 | |
| 319 | A straight-laced, uptight hobgoblin who hates the decay of modern culture. |
| 320 | ---- |
| 321 | * EtiquetteNazi: He attacks any offensive celebrities (extreme artist, trashy starlet, internet pornography), objects to superheroines wearing sexualized outfits, and scolds you for harsh language while rampaging around. |
| 322 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: While he and the Censor seem to share an M.O, Snob Goblin does not actually care for the man that much since Snob Goblin does what he does out of genuine love for the finer things in life, while The Censor does the same thing out of a hatred of everything low brow. |
| 323 | * {{Flight}}: Not a power, but through an anti-gravity gadget. |
| 324 | * NotAMask: Alex tries unmasking him after he's caught, only to find out that he really is a hobgoblin. |

| 331 | ---- |
| 332 | * AffablyEvil: He acts like a chill guy, who just happens to want to plunge the world into a Biblical apocalypse. |
| 333 | * BigRedDevil: His default form looks like a guy with red skin and pointy ears. |
| 334 | * DecapitatedArmy: When he's killed, his army is suddenly banished back to Hell. |
| 335 | * {{Expy}}: Based on the name, he's most likely a parody of [[ComicBook/TheTerrorOfTrigon Trigon]], although they don't have much in common outside of being world-conquering demons. |
| 336 | * NobleDemon: Turns out [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=714-miscommunication he fully intended to fulfill his promises to the cult]]. |
| 337 | * OutGambitted: He split Good Girl in two so that she wouldn't be powerful enough to defeat him. She simply fused the two halos back together, which not only meant she had the full power of the halo to kick his ass, it also meant there was a second Good Girl who didn't have a halo and therefore didn't have any moral compulsion against killing him. |
| 338 | * SuperMode: He transforms into a gigantic, insectoid demon in order to fight Good Girl. However, he can only maintain this form with the help of his cult. Once Defendress convinces his cult to betray him, he's back in his mostly harmless default form. |

| 345 | * BaldOfEvil: And with a [[BeardOfEvil matching goatee]]. |
| 346 | * EvilGloating: He's initially more concerned with keeping to his sleep schedule, but he works himself up to it with some encouragement [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=1027-personal-growth from Good Girl]]. |
| 347 | * ExplainExplainOhCrap: A [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=1035-surveillance little monologuing]] has him quickly realize the [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=1036-safety-and-security numerous flaws]] in his plan. |
| 348 | * FatalFlaw: Self-esteem. Also a rare case where the villain's flaw is shamelessly exploited by the heroes to gain an edge. While his powers could be unbeatable, relentless mockery leads him to firmly grasp the VillainBall. |
| 349 | * IneffectualSympatheticVillain |
| 350 | * MisappliedPhlebotinum: While initially using his powers in a simplistic but effective manner, he quickly slips into this when [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=1024-all-the-power accused of being uncreative]]. |
| 351 | * MoralGuardians: As with his idol, the Snob Goblin, [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=1021-confront he views himself]] as protecting society's "decency". |
| 352 | * PowerStereotypeFlip: He is a man with RealityWarping abilities with no imagination or ability to improvise. He usually goes the BoringButPractical route with his creations and simply copies things other villains have done. Not even his schemes are original, as they copy Snob Goblin. {{Justified|Trope}}, as he is implied to be new to his powers and they do not belong to him naturally. His powers come from experimental devices. |
| 353 | * RealityWarper: With "Narradium" weaponry confiscated from [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=1017-the-list several inmates]]. |
| 354 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Presents himself as this until his patience is worn down by the [=LoSRHs=]. |
| 355 | * ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: He initially figures that he will get away with his crimes, because he has powerful connections and highly competent lawyers. Defendress admits that he's probably right... except she [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveSupernaturalPowers can just]] use the RealityWarper gadget she took from him to make the Universe declare him guilty. |
| 356 | * VillainBall: He is easily goaded into doing what the heroes want simply by them pointing out what a ''real'' villain would do. |
| 357 | * VillainHasAPoint: While he was mostly forcing the matter to protect his secret identity, even inmates are entitled to the [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=1016-respecting-authority legal protection of personal information]]. |

| 361 | |
| 362 | A coworker of Beth's who stole time-travel tech in order to create a utopian world. |
| 363 | ---- |
| 364 | * KarmicTransformation: After [[RandomizedTransformation being subjected to a long series of transformations]] the form she ends up in is [[OurGargoylesRock some kind of Gargoyle creature]]. |
| 365 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Despite her supposed motivation of political correctness, she has some misandrist tendencies and other unsavoury opinions. Notably, she refuses to believe that there's a possible timeline where she was born male, instead choosing to believe it's a universe where she transitioned in order to benefit from male privilege. Alex points out that that's ''literally'' transphobic rhetoric. |
| 366 | * PoliticalOvercorrectness: Her main weakness. The reason she deleted every other superteam from time but left the [=LOSRHs=]? They primarily consist of disabled, non-white, and/or LGBTQ+ members. She's also almost convinced to surrender when Beth exploits her white guilt while she was briefly turned into a black woman. |
| 367 | * RacialFaceBlindness: Exploited by Beth. Audrey notices that there's two Beths (one being a time clone) and asks how that happened. The Beths use the opportunity to try and gaslight her that they're two different people and Audrey is just racist. It almost works, too. |
| 368 | * RacialTransformation: She's turned into a black woman temporarily thanks to time falling apart, which she's worried constitutes {{Blackface}}. Both Alex and Beth call her out on it. |
| 369 | * RandomizedTransformation: Since she was wearing Good Girl's halo, Beth uses the PsychicLink between it and Good Girl's halo from the past ([[TimeyWimeyBall don't think about it too hard]]) to funnel energy from an impending TimeCrash directly into her. This causes the past to start chaotically changing, and from her perspective causing her to transform into various random things. Like her with purple hair, a man, a black woman, a dolphin, and it just gets weirder from there. |
| 370 | * RetroactivePreparation: She can travel from the future to the past in order to set up anything she needs in the present. This effectively makes her a RealityWarper in combat. |
| 371 | * SomeKindOfForceField: She gives herself in the past a forcefield generator from the future, making her literally untouchable. |
| 372 | * UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: Audrey stole a time machine and built an anti-paradox device with the intent of altering time so that there are no injustices (and no need for superheroes). She doesn't care how many people she needs to RetGone or murder, as long as the future is perfect. |
| 373 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: She's so well-intentioned that Good Girl's halo has very little effect on her, to the point where she's able to ''murder'' someone while wearing it (that someone being a future president who would cause millions of deaths). However, crowning yourself as the sole divine arbiter of justice isn't a great way to do things. |
| 374 | ** NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: After being defeated by the [=LOSRH's=] they ask her to help them repair the damages she did to time, she refuses saying [[ItsAllAboutMe if she can't have her perfect timeline]] [[OmnicidalManiac she'd rather let all of time collapse]]. |

| 385 | * DistractedByTheSexy: Her only superpower is being extremely sexy. |
| 386 | * TheDragon: To The Evil Savant, she's also his MouthOfSauron because she's the only one who understands what he's saying. |
| 387 | * EvilFormerFriend: She was a member of LOSRH's before her FaceHeelTurn, although they never seem that conflicted fighting her so they couldn't have been that close. |
| 388 | * FaceHeelTurn: She used to be a hero, but became frustrated with her inability to communicate with men. She started working with the Evil Savant after he promised to develop a cure for her powers. |
| 389 | * IHaveBoobsYouMustObey: Her sexiness has a degree of MindControl to it, like when she makes the [=LOSRHs=] (except Good Girl) promise not to pursue her, or when she makes Astronomus crash into a building by flashing him. |
| 390 | * ILoveYouBecauseICantControlYou: Her unanswered crush on Lazer Pony is due to the fact that his blindness meant he couldn't become a drooling idiot in her presence. |
| 391 | %%* ImpossibleHourglassFigure |
| 392 | * LogicalWeakness: Her powers are ''just'' seduction. It thus doesn't work on Lazer Pony, who's blind, or straight/asexual women. Bi people and lesbians are still affected. How it would affect gay/ace males or pansexuals is still unknown. |
| 393 | * PowerIncontinence: Her power is ''always on.'' Anyone who looks at her will immediately be under her control if they can be attracted to women. |
| 394 | * RelationshipSabotage: She tries to break up Lazer Pony and Mary Sue, in revenge for Bad Good Girl sabotaging her potential relationship with Lazer Pony. She tried to make LP miss a date, then when that didn't work made the chefs at the restaurant prepare gross meals. Finally, she just up and kisses LP while disguised as Good Girl, which [[NoSparks still does nothing for him]]. |
| 395 | * RunningGag: Pretty much anyone who says they're immune to her powers ... isn't. |
| 396 | * ShrinkingViolet: Seems to have been this in her hero days based on what little we've seen of her in flashbacks. |

| 428 | * MinionWithAnFInEvil: He might serve a supervillain, but he's a very friendly man and quickly befriends Lazer Pony. |
| 429 | * MundaneUtility: He has to stretch for it a bit, but he's [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=095-streamlined able to get some mileage out of his powers]]. Basically, he has normal telekinesis so long as he ties whatever he needs to a cat. |
| 430 | * SemanticSuperpower: His power is "levitating cats". While he primarily uses it on house cats, it can work on any kind of cat, including lions and tigers, and [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=784-field-trip even metaphorical cats]]... like [[MrsRobinson cougars]]. |
| 431 | * SingleSubstanceManipulation: Cat-a-Pult has the ability to telekinetically move cats. It becomes a lot more useful when he figures out strapping cats to his body effectively gives him NotQuiteFlight, and veers into SemanticSuperpower territory when it turns out he can also levitate attractive older women (aka cougars). |

| 593 | * RhymesOnADime: Terragon only speaks in rhymes. Defendress asks if he writes them in advance or is just really good at freestyling. |
| 594 | * SpannerInTheWorks: The cult that planned to summon Hexagon studied the [=LoSRHs=] and accounted for all of their weaknesses. Unfortunately for them, the League hired Janus earlier that day to take a look at the whole "Two Good Girls" thing, and the cult had no idea what his powers were. This lets him transform into Terragon and save everyone. |

She unwittingly works alongside the alter egos of [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=116-number-crunching both Mr. Superhero and Aggravated Aviator]]. Her name is a pastiche of Margot Kidder and Erica Durance, actresses who played Lois Lane (whom Margot Durance is an expy of). |
| 606 | ---- |
| 607 | * IntrepidReporter: Fitting, as she's and {{Expy}} of ComicBook/LoisLane. |
| 608 | * ThePeepingTom: [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=084-crime-prevention On the receiving end of this]], owing to her superpowered coworker. Ironically, it saves her from her abusive husband because the hero in question was able to "arrive" the moment things took a turn for the violent. |
| 609 | * TalkShow: She hosts one called "Origins", interviewing guests such as [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=409-man-of-action Asstronomous]], [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=413-true-detective Flying-Fox Man]], and [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=411-amazing-intrroduction Arachno-guy]] over the starts of their caped careers. |
| 610 | * {{Workaholic}}: She burns the midnight oil [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=184-investigative-journalism to an obsessive degree]] over her ''unofficial'' work. |
| 611 | |
| 612 | !!Recurring Scientist |
| 613 | [[quoteright:149:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scientist_portrait.png]] |
| 614 | A [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin recurring scientist]] who designs many of the solutions for the problems of the city. And many of the problems, as well. |
| 615 | ---- |
| 616 | * EinsteinHair: Has a head of wild red hair. |
| 617 | * FourEyesZeroSoul: He seems to have and is willing to create anything. |
| 618 | * MadScientist: Is just as likely to create something that could revolutionize the world as he is likely to create something that could destroy it, or something completely useless. |
| 619 | * OmnidisciplinaryScientist: Capable of everything from genetics to [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=406-uprising time-travel]]. |
| 620 | |
| 621 | !!Pamela |
| 622 | [[quoteright:101:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2019_09_08_at_73727_am.png]] |
| 623 | The hard-working secretary of Mayor Kurgh. She is one of the primary reasons the city manages to remain semi-functional. |
| 624 | ---- |
| 625 | * GirlFriday: Steps into this role for Kurgh [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=124-politics almost immediately]] after he conquers the city. |
| 626 | * UnderlingWithAnFInPR Unintentionally ruins Kurgh's [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=356-reminiscing in front of an old conquering-buddy]]. |
| 627 | |
| 628 | !!Beth |
| 629 | [[quoteright:147:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/strip_1261.jpg]] |
| 630 | |
| 631 | Alex's older sister, a scientist who disapproves of superheroes. |
| 632 | ---- |
| 633 | * ChildProdigy: Apparently [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=586-finally-the-reveal she once blew up the family garage]] with a homemade fusion reactor. |
| 634 | * DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Eva accidentally letting slip that Alex is Defendress in front of Beth is played as if Alex was ForcedOutOfTheCloset (ironically, Beth is fully supportive of her sister being a lesbian). |
| 635 | * FreudianExcuse: She hates superheroes because her father was a superhero until he lost his leg while fighting crime. This same thing is actually what ''inspired'' Alex to become Defendress. |
| 636 | * NightmareFetishist: When they end up in a post-apocalyptic future, [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=1183-new-vistas Beth's first comment]] is that she appreciates the change of scenery considering they're on a time travel adventure. |
