6[[http://www.newgrounds.com/collection/imp.html A long running online series]] about the life of a superhero team in [[WorldGoneMad a town called Itty City]]. The protagonists, despite their occupation as superheroes, mostly consist of various types of [[AntiHero anti heroes]] who are either too [[ThisLoserIsYou lazy, stupid,]] [[ApatheticCitizens apathetic,]] [[CowardlyLion cowardly]] and/or [[JerkAss selfish]] to do their job of protecting the town, or at least do it properly.

8The series is notorious for its rampant NonSequitur humor and endless cast, original or [[FakeCrossover not]]. Numerous [[SpinOff spinoffs]] have been made by varying authors. Despite this, [[WordOfGod only two of them]] (IMP XS, starring a new team that takes place 5 years after the original, and VVV, starring [[VillainProtagonist IMP villain]] [[StupidEvil Romzy]] as he forms a new villain team) [[WordOfGod are considered canonical]], though all of them have been unofficially canceled. Before their cancellation, though, two of the spinoffs [[BatFamilyCrossover had]] [[UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny a]] [[ChristmasSpecial Christmas]] [[CrossThrough Crossover]] with the original series. Episodes are released whenever the author is not busy with making video game parodies/college and work/animating Evil Doc cartoons/having a life, etc.

10!!This series provides examples of:
11%%* AntiHero: Roger, Henrik, and Hentaiboy are Type I. Bustin shifts between Type III and Type V depending on the story.
12* BerserkButton: There are notable ones:
13** Hentai Boy has always had an irrational hatred of Santa Claus (and any of his foreign spin-offs).
14** Roger attacks Bob Saget after the host cracks one too many jokes.
15** H Hog gets murderous if you willfully destroy his puppets that Ginny made for him. [[AbusiveParents Ginny's adopted parents and grandma]] [[AssholeVictim found that out much too late.]]
16** If you are a choir member or from a religious group, Millie (from episode 16) will dish out the mother of all [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomp battles]]!
17* ButtMonkey: Steven Hawking... due to [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Homer]] [[RunningGag throwing that brick at him]].
18* CampGay: John T. Hedgehog, all the way! (Has also been under ButtMonkey status from the beginning until more recently when the author just found the joke becoming old.)
19* CharacterizationMarchesOn: When H-Hog was first told to make the pun "time to barbecue" he hated it. In another episode, he uses it and doesn't seem to hate it nearly as much.
20* DeathIsCheap: In more ways than one.
21** One of the first episodes debuted Henrik's invention; the "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Bring Dead People To Life Machine]]".
22** Both John and H Hog have [[TheyKilledKennyAgain super magical respawning powers]] which are often played for laughs.
23** This is kind of moot however, as [[NegativeContinuity nobody in the series ever really stays dead in the first place]].
24* GoldfishPoopGang: The LSU Squad (''L''ocal ''S''mart-Ass ''U''nit), as well as Bush and Blair.
25* HarmlessVillain: Several. If anything, it's the ineptitude of the villains that allow the heroes to even last as long as they do.
26%%* RefugeInAudacity
27* SirSwearsALot: Bustin has the tendency to say the "[[UnusualEuphemism maternal-copulation]]-word"... A '''''LOT'''''.
