3	''[[http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Crossoverlord/ The Crossoverlord]]'' is a {{superhero}} action comic that, as the name suggests, is a crossover among a number of superhero webcomics. It stars Webcomic/{{Lightbringer}}, [[Webcomic/MechagicalGirlLisaANT ANT]], Webcomic/{{Mindmistress}}, Webcomic/{{Dasien}} and Dead Debbie from ''Indefensible Positions''. In 2009, Webcomic/TheGreenAvenger and Ultra from Point Guardian were added to the ranks, in March and October, respectively. This comic is written as a collaboration among the authors of the source webcomics.

5	In the story, a being called The Crossoverseer (a GuardianOfTheMultiverse) gathers heroes from various universes (read: webcomics) to oppose The Smiling Man (the Crossoverlord of the title) a villain who is likewise gathering villains to help with his plans against the guardian. The main characters are actually only one of many such teams, though they get to deal with the Smiling Man directly. At first, the heroes must learn to get along with each other, but later they discover the chilling truth about Smiling Man's actions.
