9 | A 2012 multi-player WebGame / [[CollectibleCardGame CCG]] created by Fifth Planet Games. It is a flash game that can be played on several flash games platforms. Sadly the game was taken down by the end of 2013 |
10 | |
11 | Each player is a SuperHero and has to fight other heroes or villains. The main storyline is divided in several issues, like a ComicBook. The first volume contains the first six issues, and other volumes contain 3 issues. Each volume/arc introduce a playset of cards ("Genesis" for volume 1, "Tempus" for volume 2 and "Vengeance" for volume 3). |
12 | |
13 | The player starts as a student of the [[SuperHeroSchool Phaeton Project]] and can choose one of the 4 archetypes: |
14 | * [[GlassCannon Firesculptors]] can [[PlayingWithFire sculpt fire]] and sometimes other elements. |
15 | * [[MightyGlacier Strongharms]] have SuperStrength and SuperToughness. |
16 | * [[FragileSpeedster Non-stops]] have SuperSpeed and/or can teleport. |
17 | * [[SquishyWizard Acolytes]] have PsychicPowers. |
18 | |
19 | However, a few years later, the characters were revamped for a new comic book series and trading card game called Emergents. |
20 | |
21 | !!This game provides examples of the following tropes: |
22 | * AllOfThem: According to the Moxie: Empowered flavor text, When Moxie was asked how much she benches, she replied "everything". |
23 | ** It is unclear whether she was joking. |
24 | * ArmorPiercingAttack: Unstoppable attacks ignore enemy shields when it comes to dealing damage. |
25 | * BackToBackBadasses: Crime Blotter and Devastatrix, during their date night. |
26 | * BigBad: Daddy-0, the Hat. |
27 | %%* BigManOnCampus: is the name of a card. |
28 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: in issue #5 and #6, Daddy-O controls your schoolmates and professors, so you have to fight them before facing Daddy-O. |
29 | * BribingYourWayToVictory: It is a {{Freemium}}. |
30 | * BroughtDownToNormal: Zeroth, after issue #9. |
31 | * CatchPhrase: Dimetrodon, one of the super powered wrestlers, has one. |
32 | --> 'DIMETRODON FIGHT !' |
33 | * TheChessmaster: The Hat is the evil one, [[GuileHero Zeroth]] is the good one |
34 | * ChestInsignia: Billy Stopless and Iso-Man have one. |
35 | * {{Codename}}:{{Sidekick}} is the sidekick of {{Codename}}:[[MilitarySuperHero Soldier]]. |
36 | * ColonCancer: Because of TimeTravel and TimeSkip, the player encounters several characters at different time. So there are several cards for the same character, for example Quickhit, Quickhit:Protector and Quickhit:Far from Home. And we have Codename:Soldier:Meanwhile. |
37 | * DamselInDistress: [[spoiler:subverted by]] Coax in issue #14. |
38 | * DarkMessiah: Daddy-O. He was the head of a cult that worshipped himself and is one of the greatest supervillains in the world. |
39 | * DeathFromAbove: Zeroth's favorite attack. |
40 | * DemolitionsExpert: Little Susie Homewrecker. |
41 | * DifferentlyPoweredIndividual: They are called "Emergents". |
42 | * TheDragon: Ixnay to the Hat. In issue #14 there is also a real dragon, Zeva [[spoiler: who acts as TheDragon to Coax.]] |

44 | * TheFaceless: The Abyss, Pesticide, ... |
45 | * ForcedTutorial: Issue #1. |
46 | * GloryDays: This is the name of [[http://www.lohgame.com/forum/vbglossar.php?do=showentry&id=75 a card]] (referring to the glory days of the Upstarts). |
47 | * GreatOffscreenWar: The battle with the quiskerians and the killing of Phaeton |
48 | * GrievousHarmWithABody: Moxie's missiles. |
49 | * HospitalHottie: The Protector. She's so attractive, some students pretend to be injured/sick or intentionally get themselves hurt so that they can see her. |
50 | * {{Hulkspeak}}: Dimetrodon speaks this way, demonstrating his lack of intellect. |
51 | * ImaginationBasedSuperpower: Skilled sculptors start doing this, to which that Helios has made clones, medieval catapults, and a working bulldozer, all out of fire. |
52 | * LeotardOfPower: Moxie's beauty queen swimsuit... I mean her costume. Coax's costume also counts. |
53 | * LetsYouAndHimFight: You have to fight almost all other superheroes at least once (for training or testing or some silly reason). |
54 | * MaskedLuchador: The Form and the Function. |
55 | * MetaGame: Whenever a strategy becomes too powerful, new cards are introduced to counter said strategy. |
56 | * MegatonPunch: Alot of cards, when you get down to them, consist of a picture of some super powered hero or villain punching real hard and the move itself is implied to be the same thing. |
57 | * MonsterModesty: Dimetrodon, similar to how the Hulk always has pants. |
58 | * {{Mooks}}: the henchmen: sunderlings, gingerhaired men, ... |
59 | * MostCommonSuperPower: All female characters have this 'power'. |
60 | * MsFanservice: Moxie, Little Suzie, the Protector, Coax. All of them are example of beautiful women in the game. |
61 | * OnlySixFaces: And since there are very few interesting pieces of equipment, players' avatars are very similar. |
62 | * PatrioticFervour: Zeroth cares only about three things, the world, America, and himself, nothing more |
63 | %%* PerpetualBeta |
64 | %%* PlayEveryDay |
65 | * PostClimaxConfrontation: After the events of volume 1, you have to fight a minor vilain, Sunder, who gathers henchmen and storms the city while the most experienced heroes are still recovering from the fight with the BigBad. |
66 | * PowerArmor: Johnny Tinker's flying suit. |
67 | * PubertySuperpower: Many emergents gain their powers when they are teenagers or young adults. |
68 | %%* PurelyAestheticGender |
69 | %%* RoguesGallery |

71 | * SiblingRivalry: Between Bantam and Bookworm, to the point there is [[http://www.lohgame.com/forum/vbglossar.php?do=showentry&id=261 a card]] named after this trope. |
72 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: Moxie is the only female member of the genesis squadron. Other teams avert this trope. |

74 | * SuperHeroSchool: You start as a student in a school called "the Phaeton Project" |
75 | * SuperPowerLottery: Zeroth is the first Emergent, and also the most powerful. At least when he is an adult. |

77 | * TimePolice: the Chronarchivist and her Meanwhile squadron. |
78 | * TimeSkip: Between most issues. |
79 | * TimeTravel: During the Tempus arc. Shimmerstorm can also travel through time, and bring other people with her. Zeroth and the Hat have this power too. |
80 | * TimeTravelTenseTrouble: Shimmerstorm speaks exclusively in this. |
81 | -->'''Shimmerstorm''': "Like I'll tell you yesterday, I was ready." |
82 | %%* TopHeavyGuy: Sunder. |
83 | %%* TournamentArc: Issue #2. |
84 | * TragicVillain: [[EvilTwin Absolute Zeroth]] and Dr. Tessera, [[spoiler: He fell in love with her, but when the Schism started to give her nightmares, she turned herself into a monster to stop them, because of this Absolute Zeroth tried to make the Schism destroy the world and every bad memory in it.]] |
85 | * TronLines: the dimensional armor |
86 | * WorthlessYellowRocks: Bucks can become this late in the game, however with the addition of the sealed issues, they now have a lot of use. Now ironically the legacy coins thanks to the end of the game. |
