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. |

9 | Shows a surprising amount of Fan-Art. The two hotspots can be found here, and are run by Author Creator/HectorRailway and Scissor Snipper (Who wrote Chasing the Storm and submitted a fair amount of characters) |

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. |
29 | * BritishBrevity: The Format is laid out in seasons consisting of seven episodes each. Every Five Reviews adds another season. |
30 | ** Updated, Now 10 Reviews add another season. |
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. |
42 | * GoodColoursEvilColours: Subverted at Every Possible Turn. |

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. |
