4	A webcomic series written by K.E. Detwiler. Formerly called ''The Adventures of Dino-Boy'' and ''The New Adventures of Dino-Boy'', Detwiler eventually settled on the overall name ''Dino-Boy''. Unlike most other webcomics, which have a daily updating storyline, ''Dino-Boy'' is published more like a comic book series, with a new "issue" out every other month or so.

6	The series revolves around the actions of Evan Nedelka, otherwise known as the superhero Dino-Boy (AKA the Dinosaur), a [[OurWerebeastsAreDifferent were-saurian]] who [[GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke received his powers through an accident]] in the local natural history museum, and his younger sister, Halle Nedelka (hero name Blue Jay), a BadassNormal who [[ClothesMakeTheSuperman wears an anti-gravity vest]]. The story started out with the young heroes in grade school, but a subsequent TimeSkip now has the characters as young adults, attending college. While at first glance the series seems to be about Evan and Halle fighting crime, most stories feature a lesson about [[Franchise/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy life, the universe, and stuff like that]].

11	!! This webcomic provides examples of:
12
13	%% * AIIsACrapshoot: Mirage's computer system.
14	%% * BadassNormal: Blue Jay.
15	%% * ChurchMilitant: Testament, in case the name didn't already give it away.
16	%% * ClothesMakeTheSuperman: Blue Jay's anti-gravity vest.
17	%% * CorruptCorporateExecutive: Richard Kranley. Then he gets elected ''mayor''.
18	%% * FriendToAllLivingThings: Talon, though its [[JustifiedTrope justified]] in that she can talk to animals.
19	%% * LoveIsInTheAir: The villain Heartbreaker's method of pulling off crimes.
20	%% * HalfHumanHybrid: the Monkey
21	* HardWorkHardlyWorks: Used pretty straight with Dino-Boy and some villains, but strongly averted with Blue Jay, who trained herself to [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower impressive]] [[BadassNormal levels]], and [[PsychoSerum invoked]] with Night Owl.
22	* HeroicBSOD: Dino-Boy has a ''looong'' one of these when he unlocks his SuperPoweredEvilSide and nearly kills his sister and the BigBad of the original series. In fact he becomes a pacifist for most of the TimeSkip, only becoming a superhero again when the story starts back up.
23	%% * KnightTemplar: Once again, its Testament
24	* OurWerebeastsAreDifferent: Dino-Boy can switch between human and saurian forms [[spoiler:and becomes more of a MixAndMatchCritter as Chaos Dino Boy, gaining various parts from different dinosaur species]].
25	%% * SenseFreak: Part of the reason the villain Night Owl ([[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} no, not that Nite Owl]]), became evil.
26	* SuperPoweredEvilSide: When [[spoiler:Monkey nearly beats Talon to death]], Dino-Boy finally snaps and turns into Chaos Dino Boy, an unrelenting monster covered in [[SpikesOfVillainy spikes, armor]] and all sorts of other nasty implements. And he has no qualms about ripping his enemies to pieces. [[spoiler: Luckily Dino-Boy manages to revert back before killing the Monkey]].
27	%% * TimeSkip: Between the original ''Adventures of Dino Boy'' and the current ''New Adventures of Dino Boy''. Between the two, most of the cast of the original cast hangs up the cape.
28	%% * UnstoppableRage: Chaos Dino Boy.
