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}}.

31	* CatchPhrase: Dimetrodon, one of the super powered wrestlers, has 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.

54	* MaskedLuchador: The Form and the Function.
55	* MetaGame: Whenever a strategy becomes too powerful, new cards are introduced to counter said strategy.

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.

82	%%* TopHeavyGuy: Sunder.

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.
