Line #14 FanFic/RedLightning


1	''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8798306/1/Red-Lightning Red Lightning]]'' is a currently ongoing ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' fan fiction, centering around Double-D and Eddy after having been hit by The Storm, a MassSuperEmpoweringEvent that has given a small portion of the Peach Creek community superpowers, [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity and left an even smaller portion mentally stable]].
2
3	Double-D and Eddy seem to have developed a hobby of fighting off Super-Powered Psychopaths (Super Psychos, for short) and have a bit of difficulty keeping their operation under wraps.
4
5	Season 3 seems to have spawned not one but ''two'' spin-offs. The first is '''[=TimeDancers=]''', where Double-D embarks on adventures through time with his own son, and combats a myriad of historical villains. The second is '''[=LightningStrike=]''', focusing on Hector's inheritance of the mantle as Peach Creek's defender. Season 4 came shortly after, with Double-D returning.
6
7	The Series has two spin offs, each by different authors. One being ''Chasing the Storm'' which Chronicles Lee Kanker's Activities after the Storm. and the other is ''Damnation'' A Crossover Between ''VideoGame/MediEvil'' and TheVerse it's set in.

15	!'''Tropes Appearing in Red Lightning'''
16	* AffectionateParody: The Whole Thing seems like what happens when you mix ''Series/{{Misfits}}'' with Ed Edd n Eddy.
17	* AlternateHistory: [=TimeDancers=] downright states that the Storm is a recurring event throughout the world's history.
18	%%* [[AmuletOfConcentratedAwesome Artifact of Concentrated Awesome]]: The Black Box

24	%%* BadFuture: Happens in a four-parter of [=TimeDancers=].
25	%%* BarrierWarrior: One of the more common superpowers.
26	* BetaCouple: An odd example, because it's hard to tell who it is. It could either be [=Double-DxMarie=] (because they've already done the romantic stuff before the series) or [=ConnerxYumi=] (because they're secondary characters).
27	%%* BigEater: Seems to be a Standard Side Effect of the Storm.
28	%%** Taken to extremes with Jamie, who's had her entire body redesigned to do nothing ''but'' eat.

31	%%* TheCharmer: Sally, due to her power. Conner, through natural charisma.
32	%%* ChildrenAreInnocent: Tyler's Group.

36	* DifferentlyPoweredIndividual: Super-Psychos are the local lingo. [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity And rightly so.]]
37	* ElementalPunch: Lynn, who has the fire variant. Also Hector, with the electric variant.
38	* FantasticRacism: Humans towards Super-Psychos. It's gotten to the point that picketers have signs that say "Super-Psychos belong in camps"
39	** Eddy's Dad seemingly takes this to the extreme.
40	* ForcedTransformation: Fur has the ability to turn people into Anthros. Bloody weirdo.
41	* FormerTeenRebel: Lynn act's like one of these.

45	** The Lightning that gave the Heroes their powers is Crimson.
46	** The ''most'' destructive powers the author could fathom are all coloured [[HeavenlyBlue Blue]].
47	* HalfHumanHybrid: A lot of Super-Psychos appear as this. Double-D is the only example not caused by the storm. [[spoiler: His dad is [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} MEGATRON!]]]]
48	%%* IntangibleMan: A common power.
49	* TheJuggernaut: [[spoiler: Vaughn Carpenter is shown to be this. Nothing can actually slow him down, and anything that he perceives as a hinderence is quickly and brutally dealt with.]]
50	* KidsAreCruel: Three kids were prepared to kill another boy there age because he had a physical mutation. If Conner hadn't intervened, it's likely they would have killed the kid.
51	%%* LightningCanDoAnything: Even Give Superpowers.
52	%%* LoveMakesYouCrazy: Sally's Power.
53	* MassSuperEmpoweringEvent: The Storm, and it's freaky Red Lightning.
54	%%* MonsterOfTheWeek: A Predictable Episode Plot.
55	%%* OpeningMonologue
56	* PersonalityPowers: In Some Cases:
57	** Dom had an [[TheBerserker Explosive Temper]], resulting in StuffBlowingUp
58	** Sadie [[BrattyHalfPint wanted to be in charge of everybody]], resulting in CompellingVoice
59	** Conner was a die hard techno fan, resulting in a variant of MakeMeWannaShout
60	* PoliceAreUseless: Subverted, they're not Useless per say, just ill equipped in comparison to Double-D and Eddy, who can defend themselves against Super Psychos
61	* RubberMan: Kevin gets this power due to the Storm.
62	* ShoutOut: Red Lightning has these like pennies on a sidewalk. These include:
63	*** Series/{{Misfits}}
64	*** WesternAnimation/StaticShock
65	*** Manga/OnePiece
66	%%* {{Snowlem}}: Rasputin is this.
67	%%* SpoiledBrat: Tam counts as this.
68	* TimeTravel: the main focus of [=TimeDancers=] as well as a common [[RequiredSecondaryPower Secondary Ability]]
69	* TomTheDarkLord: A lot of Super-Psychos were normal people before the storm, so they are content to refer to themselves as their given names, such as Tam.
70	* TheUndead: Dead Head from [=TimeDancers=] is exactly this.
71	** Keiran turns into [[OurGhostsAreDifferent a variant of this.]]
72	* TheVerse: In-Universe; encompasses ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'', ''WesternAnimation/HiHiPuffyAmiYumi'' and ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' ([[MagicCrayon Kinda Sorta]])
73	** Also out of Universe, it encompasses Red Lightning, [=TimeDancers=], Damnation & Chasing the Storm
74	* VillainBeatingArtifact: [[spoiler:Apparantly, The Random and Pointless Grenade in Chasing the Storm, According to the Fury.]]
75	* WasOnceAMan: While most Super-Psychos are able to pass for humans, there are some like Kafka who have almost no resemblance to what they once were.
76	* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: Subverted:, Peach Creek is stated by the author to be placed in the United Kingdom of America, so both British and American customs, slang and currency appear.
77	** Taken to extremes with the introduction of a [=DollarPound=].
78	* YourBrainWontBeMuchOfAMeal: [[OurZombiesAreDifferent Dead Head]] manages to grab Kieran in his brain-hungry frenzy, only to put him down in disgust.
