League of Super Redundant Heroes
The League of Super Redundant Heroes
The titular group of almost-heroes. Though ranked below even the cub-scouts
, they occasionally protect Shitropolis. Usually by accident.Troy Popcorn, a.k.a "Lazer Pony"
- Accidental Aiming Skills: Even accounting for his blindness, this is about the only way he tends to hit anything.
- Accidental Hero: When LP does hit something, it often stops a major threat.
- Alternate Universe Reed Richards Is Awesome: In almost every other world in The Multiverse he's Lazer Stallion the greatest superhero in the world.
- Atrocious Alias: All of his infinitely more-competent alternate-universe selves use the moniker, "Lazer Stallion" and they are disappointed to hear he uses "Lazer Pony".
- Berserk Button: Getting lost, presumably because he has so much unpleasant experience with it. On a related note, he hates hiking because of how easy it is for a blind person to get lost on a hike while experiencing none of the benefits.
- Blessed with Suck: Was permanently blinded by the first use of his lasers, which come from behind his eyes.
- Blind Mistake: A Running Gag is Lazer Pony getting lost or being taken advantage of due to his lack of vision and brains.
- Chest Insignia: Well forehead insignia. He thought it was a P for Pony, until an unfortunate stretch of silence from his teammate when he said that made him calmly realize it was actually an L for Loser.
- Chick Magnet: Mary Sue, a gorgeous blonde super heroine, is happily dating him and Distractarella, whose entire power is being distractingly attractive, has a huge crush on him.
- Deadpan Snarker: Since Alex joined the team, he has shades of Character Development and become much more jaded.
- Disability Immunity: His blindness renders him immune to the powers of Distractarella.
- The Ditz: Lazer Pony is not the sharpest tool in the shed by any means.
- The Dreaded: In his job as a prison guard for Superpowered villains, oddly, due to an error in judgement of the part of one of the inmates.
- Expressive Mask: The eyeholes on his mask move with his expression.
- Eye Beams: Lazer Pony may be an idiot, but his lasers are incredibly strong.
- Eyes Out of Sight: He has hair covering his eyes the very rare times we see him out of costume. As he's blind it's hardly a hindrance. And since his Eye Beam power had burned out his eyes five years ago, it's probably best that they aren't visible.
- Groin Attack: Constantly on the receiving end of these, courtesy of Gyrognome.
- Hero Insurance: He's covered for blimps, at the least.
- Idiot Hero: Lazer Pony's heart is generally in the right place, at least.
- Just Friends: Gives Distracterella this treatment, both because he finds her somewhat annoying, but more importantly because Bad Good Girl told him she was ugly.
- When Distracterella disguised as Good Girl kisses him he lets his 'friend' down gently by saying the mental image he has of her prevents him from seeing her romantically...since despite being a grown woman, thanks due to GG's personality he sees her as a pre-teen girl.
- When Distracterella disguised as Good Girl kisses him he lets his 'friend' down gently by saying the mental image he has of her prevents him from seeing her romantically...since despite being a grown woman, thanks due to GG's personality he sees her as a pre-teen girl
- Kavorka Man: He's an idiot and rather geeky-looking, but Distracterella has an unanswered crush on him, and he's in a nauseatingly good relationship with Mary Sue.
- Kindhearted Simpleton: What he lacks in intelligence and competence he more than makes up for in kindness.
- Lethal Chef: Lazer Pony is actually a very capable cook. ...when he doesn't lose track of his surroundings. Or worse, the ingredients.
- No Sense of Direction: Granted, he's blind. But that can only explain so much.
- Only Sane Man: Has started to get shades of this since the fantasy world arc, if not a bit before then. Over time, he's somewhat shifted from "naive, bumbling but sweet puppy in human form" to "jaded Butt-Monkey who's resigned to how bad his life is," and tends to make more snarky but smart observations about how stupid the others are being, as well as Stating the Simple Solution.
- Power Incontinence: Lazer Pony has a habit of firing accidental blasts for a variety of reasons.
- Required Secondary Powers: Averted. Lack of immunity to his own lasers is why he's blind in the first place. Justified, as they are implants instead of his natural powers.
- Satellite Love Interest: Played with. One of Mary Sue's defining traits is that she is Laser Pony's girlfriend. In story however, he serves as this to her.
- Smart Ball: He holds it during most of the whole "Lost in a Fantasy Realm" arc.
- Status Quo Is God: Parodied, naturally.
- Super Zeroes: He's not very bright, and kind of a loser.
- Taught by Television: Watching TV procedurals has given him a surprisingly good idea of how to narrow down results when searching police reports.
- Team Chef: Does the cooking for the League.
- Took a Level in Jerkass: He becomes increasingly snarky as the comic progresses.
- Unskilled, but Strong: Lazer Pony's powers have the potential to make him one of, if not THE, world's strongest superheroes. But he's both too lazy and too stupid to apply himself properly.
- Wave-Motion Gun: A rare example where a person fits this trope, rather than Kamehame Hadoken... as he is bolted to the front of a ship and used as the ship's main cannon.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Deathly afraid of spiders, and more than willing to use his powers at the mere mention of them.
Good Girl
- Abusive Parents: She implies that her father was one, threatening to sleep with his secretary and drink if she didn't behave.
- Action Girl: She's as good at throwing punches as she is at helping others.
- Ambiguously Evil: Whether Bad Good Girl is her natural personality or another side effect of her powers is deliberately left vague.
- And I Must Scream: She is forced to act like this at all times by the halo, no matter how she actually feels. Even if she is always smiling, she's not always ''smiling''.
- The Anti-Grinch: She takes Christmas celebrations rather... seriously.
- Atrocious Alias: Especially when differentiating between her two personas.
- Blessed with Suck: The halo makes her a paragon of goodness, but is increasingly shown to be forced on her. Her "bad" persona (which may or may not be her real self) perceives it as robbing her of her freedom and makes it clear that regardless of her other issues she's only truly happy when away from it.
- Civvie Spandex: Her normal costume isn't too different from casual clothes, although her actual casual wear swaps out the skirt for yoga pants.
- Getting Smilies Painted on Your Soul: The halo supercharges her goodness, making her extremely and sometimes obsessively cheery, charitable, and abstinent. Though she is capable of negative emotions (and sometimes well adjusted enough that you could almost believe her claim that her good self is her "real" self if you didn't know any better), she's generally so positive that it can be a hindrance.
- Gold and White Are Divine: Her costume in angel mode is a white dress with gold trim.
- Good Smoking, Evil Smoking: One of Bad Good Girl's vices.
- Hartman Hips: Common to the art style, but hers are much more prominent than most.
- Heel–Face Brainwashing: Good Girl's halo has this effect when placed upon others. Good Girl is stuck with this, with the halo forcing her to be positive, friendly and cheerful all the time. The effect works by magnifying the target's existing positive qualities, meaning it won't work against someone who doesn't have a conscience, and it will be useless against a person who's radical enough to genuinely believe they are doing nothing wrong.
- Incorruptible Pure Pureness: Her Good Girl persona is this. Her Bad Good Girl persona... not so much.
- Innocent Fanservice Girl: Occasionally in universe, though to be fair, she thought it was only her, Buckaress and LP in the house at the time.
- Jekyll & Hyde: Downplayed example. While Good Girl is a bastion of purity, Bad Good Girl's efforts at doing bad are somewhat... rusty. She generally comes off as less evil than bitter and apathetic, stuck in a situation she hates.
- Limit Break: Has several, including a few distinct virtue-based Super Modes (an angel, a knight/crusader, etc), and most dramatically a Spirit Bomb pastiche made of pure, concentrated niceness. All of these are extremely powerful, but tend to drain the halo completely in one shot.
- Most Common Superpower: She has very large breasts and is a superhero.
- Not Brainwashed: She once told Eva that the halo did not make her do anything, and her good girl self was her real personality. The next panel and many future problems with the halo show that she was lying.
- Not So Above It All: She is not above basically threatening people with what Bad Good Girl will do to them once her Halo comes off. And she does steal half of Lazer Pony money to donate to charity. Plus she is the only one who doesn't contribute any money to pay the expenses with the excuse that she is too busy with charity work. And she did not tell Lazer Pony that his dog is not a guide dog.
- Ping Pong Naïveté: The balance of pure goodness to mature intelligence varies. Sometimes she has both. Sometimes she's more sly than she seems. And sometimes Good Cannot Comprehend Evil so hard that she practically has blinders on. Bad Good Girl implies that the halo sometimes makes her much more naïve than she should be in the process of making her more good.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: A visual cue that Bad Good Girl is in control.
- Spot the Imposter: Parodied. It's attempted, but the imposter quickly gives up.
- Super Mode: She eventually unlocks the ability turn into an angel, which amplifies all of her powers significantly. Unfortunately for everyone else, it also drains her halo's battery twice as fast.
- Super-Powered Alter Ego: Her Good Girl side is this, having numerous powers including flight, while her Bad Good Girl side usually just heads to a bar to blow off steam until the halo recharges.
- Vapor Wear: Her angelic form apparently lacks underwear, much to Bad Good Girl's annoyance.
Bad Good Girl
, she became stuck as Bad Good Girl. Not that she minds.However, after Good Girl burned out the halo during the fantasy arc, the two switched places - resulting in the clone taking her counterpart's place as the "primary" Good Girl. For the purpose of organization and sanity, this section refers to whichever of the two Good Girls is currently the full-time Bad Good Girl.
- Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work: Good Girl doesn't have it in her to take a life, even against demon lord. Bad Good Girl doesn't care.
- Blood Knight: She'll gleefully take an excuse to beat on someone.
- Clones Are People, Too: She's insulted when Buckaress implies that she should've disappeared when Hexagon was defeated, even though she's a living being with her own unique experiences (she was deliberately starting conflicts). Luckily, Shitropolis has a form for clones.
- Delinquent Hair: During the Time Crash arc, she winds up in a timeline where she was much more rebellious and has dyed red/black hair done in devil horns.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Oddly, she is concerned for Keith's safety.
- Evil Knockoff: She was originally intended as a neutral counterpart alongside the other Good Girl, but after fusing the halos she's left as Bad Good Girl full time.
- The Friend Nobody Likes: The rest of the group hate being around her, but Good Girl brings her along out of sympathy.
- Intimate Telecommunications: Much to Good Girls’ chagrin and outrage, BGG ran a phone sex line from the house, but she has rarely needed to take the phone.
- Jerkass: Unlike Good Girl, this is her default state.
- Literal Split Personality: She was split off from Good Girl in order to weaken her, since she was The Chosen One who could defeat Hexagon.
- Morality Pet: After the split, she and Good Girl formed a sisterly relationship, despite their conflicting world views they've never shown any malice to each other.
- Sensible Heroes, Skimpy Villains: Downplayed but her outfit defiantly highlights her figure more than Good Girls.
- Psychic Link: Appears to share at least some sensations with her counterpart.
- Ship Tease: Implied to have a Villainous Crush Keith.
- Troll: She enjoys deliberately misinterpreting everything so she has an excuse to start fights.
Eva, a.k.a. "Buckaress"
- Action Girl: Slowly developing into this.
- Alpha Bitch: Downplayed. By her own admission, she was this in her high school days, though Alex believes it was more her friends than her, as she was "too busy going through the football team".
- Ambiguously Brown: Subverted. She has darker skin than the others in the League, but it seems to be tan, as she later calls herself white.
- Bad Liar: A defining trait from her initial appearances and onward.
- Badass Longcoat: She got a long coat as part of her new costume, the badass part is debatable though.
- Cleavage Window: Her Buckaress uniform has one, and she tends to wear clothes with one when out of uniform as well
- Fanservice Pack: While all superheroines have the standard impressive figure, after several art-style changes Eva's chest is now at least twice the size of any other girls in the entire series.
- Fully-Clothed Nudity: After a while, she feels uncomfortable in normal clothing.
- Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: She couldn't hit the broadside of a barn if she was a foot away from it. It turns out to be psychological. As a child Eva was a star pitcher but was teased relentlessly by other girls for 'being a boy' because of it, causing her to sabotage herself into throwing poorly.
- Impossible Hourglass Figure: Fairly standard for the comic's art style, but hers more so than any of the others.
- Kindhearted Cat Lover: She has a pet cat named Missy and is a sweetheart at her core (the cat hasn’t been seen for a while). By threatening Missy, Stripperella made Buckaress spy on the LoSHRS at the behest of the Evil Savant. As soon as Missy’s back with her, Buckaress confesses to the LoSHRS.
- Lethal Chef: A running gag is her ability to set fire to any attempt at cooking. Buckaress can set fire to water by trying to boil it. She ignites a sandwich by placing a slice of ham on bread. She does it to Lazer Pony's waffle mix bowl just by walking in the kitchen to get some coffee. At a sub shop, by asking for a sandwich that wasn't on the menu (All she asked for was that they not give her olives). And again at the gym, by taking the pickles off her sub. It's gotten to the point where they use it for practical purposes like lighting a grill or fighting supervillains. The effect becomes so strong that even invoking her name becomes enough to set food on fire. Some people have speculated that it's some form of pyrokinesis that's triggered whenever she thinks about cooking, but according to every test that has been run on her, she has no actual superpowers.
- Most Common Super Power: Initially her only power. Art Evolution has taken this even further as she is the most gifted female character shown.
- Ms. Fanservice: Her initial outfit was very Stripperific, and her current one while more professional still displays a 'lot' of cleavage. As the art style shifted, Eva was drawn to clearly have much larger breasts than any other female.
- Never Gets Fat: Almost literally says so as the reason why she keeps her figure while not eating well or doing exercise. But she does stop being a slob as part of her character development and desire to be a better heroine.
- Really Gets Around: Especially in her younger days.
- Semantic Superpower: Her inability to cook acts this way. It's not just that whatever she tries cooking will catch fire, rather 'any' involvement in the preparation of food will cause it to catch fire. Removing pickles from a sandwich will make the sandwich catch fire, asking for no olives on a sub will make it catch fire, saying how she wants her steak prepared will make it catch fire, singing her name while mixing something will make the bowl catch fire. Even being in close proximity to food being prepared will make it catch fire.
- Stripperific: Her first outfit in particular. Lampshaded when they try to get her a job at a strip club
- Her real, tailored costume makes her look like a proper hero, but hides only slightly more of her bosom than the minimum required to keep her decent.
- Super Zeroes: Initially, given she wasn't really a superhero at all.
- Took a Level in Badass: After getting over some of her issues and getting a bit of Character Development.
- Trauma Button: Triggered by discussing her incredibly poor throwing ability.
- Youthful Freckles: After the Art Evolution she sports triads of freckles on both her cheeks and boobs.
Keith
- The Alcoholic: Drinks more than anyone else in the cast.
- Berserk Button: Downplayed. While Keith is normally pretty calm and apathetic about everything, seeing a streaming of someone play videogames “wrong” gets him riled up.
- Chick Magnet: Bad Good Girl and "Tinkerbell" both seem attracted to him and he used to date Mary Sue until he broke up with her.
- Comedic Sociopathy: Generally played for laughs.
- Cool Shades: The number of times he is seen without his sunglasses can be counted on one hand.
- Corrupt Corporate Executive: After enough promotions.
- Drunk with Power: Given Keith's personality, it doesn't take long to set in.
- Fratbro: Keith is an older version of this, being a legend for his wild parties. Keith still tries to live the lifestyle or make it appear he does, but his age is catching up.
- Girl on Girl Is Hot: Keith is a firm believer in this.
- The Hedonist: He revels in his laziness.
- Jerkass: Keith is unapologetically self-centered.
- Lazy Bum: Such that his only objection to the house being sealed in another dimension is that the batteries in the television remote ran out.
- Mean Boss: Cheerfully tazes subordinates who slack off, despite his own work ethic.
- The Slacker: He puts the bare minimum of effort into everything he does.
- The Stoic: Rarely shows any emotion except boredom.
- Taking Advantage of Generosity: Tends to spend Lazer Pony's share of the rent on his own desires, with predictable results for Lazer Pony when Gyrognome drops by.
Gyrognome
- Battle Strip: He does this when assailed by cats.
- Bring It: Word for word. Against attacking housecats.
- The Casanova: Gyrognome repeatedly demonstrates he is no slouch in art of seduction.
- Child Hater: He does not like children in the slightest. Eventually, he starts putting effort into expressing this.
- Cranky Landlord: And unapologetically so.
- Dirty Old Man: Gyrognome definitely fits the bill.
- Framing the Guilty Party: Seems to be Gyrognome's SOP, going overboard on it every single time.
- Good Is Not Nice: He's a hero, but he's not shy about attacking his tenants.
- Groin Attack: Gyrognome inflicts these upon Lazer Pony on a constant basis, usually over late rent. Lazer Pony's efforts to protect himself only make things worse. In fact, Gyrognome's love of inflicting these comes up during his therapy.
- He Cleans Up Nicely: Surprisingly, when he puts the effort in.
- It Came from the Fridge: Or at least, it does when his fridge is broken and the lent is late.
- Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: He offers to take Lazer Pony out to a bar...so he can use him to pick up chicks.
- Laser-Guided Karma: For his Malicious Misnaming of Asstronomus. At least, by the standards of one who hates kids as much as he does.
- Long-Lived: Over 300 years old and still going strong.
- Puberty Superpower: Gyrognome's powers manifested at the ripe young age of 112.
- Sir Swears-a-Lot: When you get him riled up, he's quite foul-mouthed.
"Tinkerbell"
An "elf" from the fantasy world who the league had to kidnap to stop her from starting a war over fried chicken in her world. She's taken a liking to modern amenities, and acts as Mission Control.
- Call a Pegasus a "Hippogriff": She's blatantly a fairy, but insists that she's actually an elf.
- Gamer Chick: She uses the League's computer to stream games while they're not out on missions.
- Like a Duck Takes to Water: At first she's out-of-place in the modern world, but quickly takes a liking to it when she finds out that they have hot water on-demand. She's able to quickly get versed in navigating a computer and eventually takes up a side gig as a streamer.
- Lilliputians: She's only a few inches tall, so she needs to custom-order all of her gaming gear. Luckily, this is a superhero universe, so there's plenty of Sizeshifters who can provide tech at her size.
- Mission Control: Once the LOSRHs decide to start taking their superhero careers more seriously, they get "Tinkerbell" to operate their computer from the home base. They even set up a special fairy-sized control panel on a smartphone for her to use.
- No Name Given: Her real name hasn't been given on panel yet, other than her nickname of Tinkerbell. Lampshaded in one strip, where she doubts that they even know her name.
Close Associates
Alex, a.k.a. "Defendress"
- Action Girl: She kicks butt with the best.
- Badass Normal: She has no powers, relying on gadgets and martial arts, but she does seem to be a fairly effective superhero in spite of it.
- Black and Nerdy: But only for certain things. She is a gamer, a huge fan of Star Trek and plays up the image being a dark and broody hero, but has zero knowledge of LOTR despite her girlfriend being a huge nerd for it. Another comic shows the two arguing over the two on movie night.
- Closet Key: For Eva.
- Expy: To Batwoman and Huntress. A lesbian Badass Normal, Action Girl who modelled herself after her late, retired Batman Parody father.
- Grappling-Hook Gun: Owns one, which she notes isn't exactly hard to acquire in Shitropolis.Defendress: We're in the city with the highest population of vigilantes in America. They sell this in, like, every hardware store.
- The Leader: To spite never officially joining the team and being having a much shorter Superhero career, she frequently takes this role when joining the team on missions.
- Lipstick Lesbian: In her civilian persona. Less so in costume.
- Hypocritical Humor: When faced with a parody show making fun of the group, she advocates ignoring it and staying on task until she finds out they also made fun of her.
- Insufferable Genius: As a parody of Batman, this has essentially become her hat since joining the league more consistently. She tends to try to step over the others to make decision calls, theories and big plans, and is often disgruntled when people either don't go along with them or they just don't pan out like she thinks.Eva: We're banned from three movie theatres because of her.
Alex: If they didn't want me interrupting, then they should make the plot less obvious! - Not So Above It All: She usually has more sense and composure than her peers, but not always.
- Only Sane Woman: She initially came across as this, being rather more grounded than most of the people in Shitropolis. After joining the LoSRHs however, her competence takes a decline.
- Plot Armor: Invoked and parodied. It's a built-in feature.
- Sir Swears-a-Lot: She's normally fairly polite, but when pushed she can spew more profanity than anyone else in the comic short of Gyrognome.
- Tomboyish Name: Her full name is Alexis. Eva was set up on a Blind Date with Alex by a coworker, and she initially assumed Alex was a man.
- Too Clever by Half: A Running Gag in the fantasy world arc, where every single decision she makes turns out to be the wrong to the point where she just rolls with it. While it's not as consistent afterwards, the "tries to be The Smart Guy, only succeeds sometimes" gag has since stuck, moving her out of the Only Sane Man slot. The others have clearly rubbed off on her.
Mary Sue
- Action Girl: She's the greatest female hero in the city.
- Breast Expansion: She can eat as much fatty food as she wants, and the only place she gains weight is in the breasts.
- Cute Clumsy Girl: One of her only two "flaws".
- Flying Brick: Among many other powers, she can fly and has super strength and durability.
- Idiot Hair: To be precise, an exaggerated parody of Superman's cowlick.
- Impossible Hourglass Figure: Her figure is a possible byproduct of her powers, and is as annoyingly perfect as the rest of her.
- Leotard of Power: Her superhero costume is a form-fitting leotard, along with cape, boots, gloves, and domino mask.
- Meaningful Name: As her name implies, she is absolutely perfect in every way, and even what she counts as flaws only serve to make her more likable to other people. As you'd expect, this annoys some of the characters around her.
- Offhand Backhand: Her clumsiness comes in handy when dealing with Asstronomus
- Parody Sue: Nearly her entire character is based around this.
- Perfection Is Static: Keith broke up with her because she was too perfect, which got boring.
- What Does She See in Him?: Lazer Pony is nice enough, but it's clear she is way out of his league.
- X-Ray Vision: This is one of her many powers, of course.
Josie Perkins, a.k.a. "The Desperate Housewitch"
- Arch-Enemy: Parodied. She's set up as one for Eva, eventually also latching onto Alex after the two started dating. But since she's so bad at villainy and they're so blase about superheroing, every scheme she cooks up inevitably ends with them all hanging out together instead.
- Alpha Bitch: In the past, and still has yet to have matured out of it.
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Very odd even for a supervillain or a witch. Among other silliness, she had to be reminded that access to tons of gold meant she could be obscenely rich.
- Contractual Genre Blindness: When she took over a medieval fantasy kingdom, she staunchly refused to introduce improvements like healthcare or better infrastruture, specifically because it would make it less of a medieval fantasy kingdom.
- Driven by Envy: Took up witchcraft solely to get back at Eva for still living the youthful lifestyle.
- Happily Married: Her husband is, at worst, wearily resigned to her general eccentricity, but is usually understanding of her need for an outlet (even if he wishes it wasn't something so crazy).
- Hidden Depths: You wouldn't expect an Obnoxious Entitled Housewife to have read The Hobbit.
- Insane Troll Logic: Her justifications for her schemes are typically so self-centered as to be completely nonsensical, and every plot involving her has at least one Seinfeldian Conversation about how her vendettas don't really make sense.
- Master of Illusion: She can produce illusions on a massive scale.
- No, You: When Eva points out how nonsensical her motivations are, she's somewhat lost for a proper retort.Josie: Well... uh... your face doesn't make any sense.
- Poke the Poodle: Eva finds the efforts she made to take revenge to be just "slightly annoying".
- Victory Is Boring: Josie is the stereotypical nasty high school queen bee from every movie, but one who didn't get some Karmic punishment, and instead got everything she wanted in life. However, she struggles with the pressures of having to be perfect at everything she does. The perfect wife, the perfect employee, and the perfect mother. While others might admire her for seemingly having it all, she is jealous of Eva for not being tied down with responsibility and being able to just have fun at her own leisure.
The Power Group
The Power Group
Shitropolis' premier hero team. Unlike the League of Super Redundant Heroes, they are actually rather competent. Gyrognome was a former founding member, before getting kicked out of the group for mocking Astronomus' large buttocks.Barry, a.k.a. "Astronomus", a.k.a. "Ass-tronomus"
- Accidental Murder: Played for laughs, when he is belatedly introduced to Mosquito Man XIV.
- All Men Are Perverts: Asstronomus is a complete sleaze when it comes to women.
- Casanova Wannabe: Is routinely rejected by women, but is seemingly undeterred. He has had some luck with Cat Girls.
- Clark Kenting: Barry from PR can't possibly be Asstronomus. Barry has glasses.
- Distracted by the Sexy: Painfully so, courtesy of Distractarella.
- Flying Brick: Being a Superman Expy, he has the standard set of generic superhero powers.
- Lantern Jaw of Justice
- Malicious Misnaming: Subjected to this by Gyrognome. He had Gyrognome ousted from the team for it, but the name had already caught on.
- "No. Just… No" Reaction: His justification for refusing to allow Banana Man to join The Power Group.
- Post-Kiss Catatonia: He claimed to have found a way around Distracterella's power. He didn't.
- Power Trio: Forms this with Phantom Ghost and Maroon Jackdaw.
- Smug Super: Make no mistake, he is a hero. But he's still a total dick.
- Totally Radical: Resorts to this when informed his popularity is dropping among the youth.
Jim, a.k.a. "Phantom Ghost"
- Clark Kenting: Although, thanks to his coworker's perceptiveness, it doesn't take much effort.
- Good Parents: He and his wife are portrayed this way, though their son's choice of hero to dress up as on Halloween makes them rather uneasy.
- Heroes Gone Fishing: Is a gaming buddy of both Asstronomus and The Bulk. Though he is frustrated by Bulk's constant ragequitting.
- Lethal Chef: His food is rather spicy. Enough so to give The Bulk certain problems.
- Let's Have Another Baby: Subverted. He misses having a baby in the house. His wife does not.
- The Masquerade Will Kill Your Dating Life: Averted. He's quite happily married, although it's uncertain how much his wife knows.
- Power Trio: Forms this with Asstronomus and Maroon Jackdaw.
- Repetitive Name: "Phantom Ghost" is rather redundant a name.
- Talk Show: Hosts The Midnight Show as Phantom Ghost.
- Unusually Uninteresting Sight: People don't seem to find anything odd about his features when he's in his civilian identity.
Maroon Jackdaw
, which is where she gets her powers.- Captain Ersatz: Of Raven, though her name seems to be a reference to Crimson Fox.
- Forced Transformation: Inflicts this upon Asstronomus when he refuses to stop hitting on the heroines at the local bar.
- The Gadfly: Even she's not above teasing Lodestar over his Canadian accent.
- Hot Witch: She's a wiccan and very attractive.
- Impossible Hourglass Figure: Emphasized by the costume she's wearing.
- Insistent Terminology: She's not a witch, she's a Wiccan.
- In the Hood: Her superhero costume has a red cloak with a hood. She never puts the hood down.
- Jerkass: Is very petty towards the LOSRH's when she finds out they prevented the apocalypse while her and her team were on vacation.
- Power Trio: Forms this with Asstronomus and Phantom Ghost.
- Superheroes Wear Capes: Wears a dark red, hooded cape and is an important member of a superhero team.
Major Antagonists
Snob Goblin
A straight-laced, uptight hobgoblin who hates the decay of modern culture.
- Etiquette Nazi: He attacks any offensive celebrities (extreme artist, trashy starlet, internet pornography), objects to superheroines wearing sexualized outfits, and scolds you for harsh language while rampaging around.
- Even Evil Has Standards: While he and the Censor seem to share an M.O, Snob Goblin does not actually care for the man that much since Snob Goblin does what he does out of genuine love for the finer things in life, while The Censor does the same thing out of a hatred of everything low brow.
- Flight: Not a power, but through an anti-gravity gadget.
- Not a Mask: Alex tries unmasking him after he's caught, only to find out that he really is a hobgoblin.
- Shock and Awe: Can fire electricity from his fingertips using super-science tools.
Hexagon
A powerful demon, nicknamed "Hex".
- Affably Evil: He acts like a chill guy, who just happens to want to plunge the world into a Biblical apocalypse.
- Big Red Devil: His default form looks like a guy with red skin and pointy ears.
- Decapitated Army: When he's killed, his army is suddenly banished back to Hell.
- Expy: Based on the name, he's most likely a parody of Trigon, although they don't have much in common outside of being world-conquering demons.
- Noble Demon: Turns out he fully intended to fulfill his promises to the cult.
- Out-Gambitted: He split Good Girl in two so that she wouldn't be powerful enough to defeat him. She simply fused the two halos back together, which not only meant she had the full power of the halo to kick his ass, it also meant there was a second Good Girl who didn't have a halo and therefore didn't have any moral compulsion against killing him.
- Super Mode: He transforms into a gigantic, insectoid demon in order to fight Good Girl. However, he can only maintain this form with the help of his cult. Once Defendress convinces his cult to betray him, he's back in his mostly harmless default form.
The Censor
- Bad Liar: He does fine when just bending the truth. Anything past that and he stumbles quickly.
- Bald of Evil: And with a matching goatee.
- Evil Gloating: He's initially more concerned with keeping to his sleep schedule, but he works himself up to it with some encouragement from Good Girl.
- Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap!: A little monologuing has him quickly realize the numerous flaws in his plan.
- Fatal Flaw: Self-esteem. Also a rare case where the villain's flaw is shamelessly exploited by the heroes to gain an edge. While his powers could be unbeatable, relentless mockery leads him to firmly grasp the Villain Ball.
- Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain
- Misapplied Phlebotinum: While initially using his powers in a simplistic but effective manner, he quickly slips into this when accused of being uncreative.
- Moral Guardians: As with his idol, the Snob Goblin, he views himself as protecting society's "decency".
- Power Stereotype Flip: He is a man with Reality Warping abilities with no imagination or ability to improvise. He usually goes the Boring, but Practical route with his creations and simply copies things other villains have done. Not even his schemes are original, as they copy Snob Goblin. Justified, as he is implied to be new to his powers and they do not belong to him naturally. His powers come from experimental devices.
- Reality Warper: With "Narradium" weaponry confiscated from several inmates.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Presents himself as this until his patience is worn down by the LoSRHs.
- Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!: He initially figures that he will get away with his crimes, because he has powerful connections and highly competent lawyers. Defendress admits that he's probably right... except she can just use the Reality Warper gadget she took from him to make the Universe declare him guilty.
- Villain Ball: He is easily goaded into doing what the heroes want simply by them pointing out what a real villain would do.
- Villain Has a Point: While he was mostly forcing the matter to protect his secret identity, even inmates are entitled to the legal protection of personal information.
Audrey
A coworker of Beth's who stole time-travel tech in order to create a utopian world.
- Karmic Transformation: After being subjected to a long series of transformations the form she ends up in is some kind of Gargoyle creature.
- Politically Incorrect Villain: Despite her supposed motivation of political correctness, she has some misandrist tendencies and other unsavoury opinions. Notably, she refuses to believe that there's a possible timeline where she was born male, instead choosing to believe it's a universe where she transitioned in order to benefit from male privilege. Alex points out that that's literally transphobic rhetoric.
- Political Overcorrectness: Her main weakness. The reason she deleted every other superteam from time but left the LOSRHs? They primarily consist of disabled, non-white, and/or LGBTQ+ members. She's also almost convinced to surrender when Beth exploits her white guilt while she was briefly turned into a black woman.
- Racial Face Blindness: Exploited by Beth. Audrey notices that there's two Beths (one being a time clone) and asks how that happened. The Beths use the opportunity to try and gaslight her that they're two different people and Audrey is just racist. It almost works, too.
- Racial Transformation: She's turned into a black woman temporarily thanks to time falling apart, which she's worried constitutes Blackface. Both Alex and Beth call her out on it.
- Randomized Transformation: Since she was wearing Good Girl's halo, Beth uses the Psychic Link between it and Good Girl's halo from the past (don't think about it too hard) to funnel energy from an impending Time Crash directly into her. This causes the past to start chaotically changing, and from her perspective causing her to transform into various random things. Like her with purple hair, a man, a black woman, a dolphin, and it just gets weirder from there.
- Retroactive Preparation: She can travel from the future to the past in order to set up anything she needs in the present. This effectively makes her a Reality Warper in combat.
- Some Kind of Force Field: She gives herself in the past a forcefield generator from the future, making her literally untouchable.
- Utopia Justifies the Means: Audrey stole a time machine and built an anti-paradox device with the intent of altering time so that there are no injustices (and no need for superheroes). She doesn't care how many people she needs to Ret-Gone or murder, as long as the future is perfect.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: She's so well-intentioned that Good Girl's halo has very little effect on her, to the point where she's able to murder someone while wearing it (that someone being a future president who would cause millions of deaths). However, crowning yourself as the sole divine arbiter of justice isn't a great way to do things.
- Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: After being defeated by the LOSRH's they ask her to help them repair the damages she did to time, she refuses saying if she can't have her perfect timeline she'd rather let all of time collapse.
Minor Villains
Distractarella
- Affably Evil: When off duty she's happy to have a drink with Bad Good Girl and Buckaress.
- Blessed with Suck: She's romantically frustrated because men turn into babbling, lovestruck morons around her and she has no way to turn her powers off.
- Body Paint: Her "costume" is blue body paint and three star-shaped pasties. She couldn't give her costume to Bolfman for this exact reason.
- Distracted by the Sexy: Her only superpower is being extremely sexy.
- The Dragon: To The Evil Savant, she's also his Mouth of Sauron because she's the only one who understands what he's saying.
- Evil Former Friend: She was a member of LOSRH's before her Face–Heel Turn, although they never seem that conflicted fighting her so they couldn't have been that close.
- Face–Heel Turn: She used to be a hero, but became frustrated with her inability to communicate with men. She started working with the Evil Savant after he promised to develop a cure for her powers.
- I Have Boobs, You Must Obey!: Her sexiness has a degree of Mind Control to it, like when she makes the LOSRHs (except Good Girl) promise not to pursue her, or when she makes Astronomus crash into a building by flashing him.
- I Love You Because I Can't Control You: Her unanswered crush on Lazer Pony is due to the fact that his blindness meant he couldn't become a drooling idiot in her presence.
- Logical Weakness: Her powers are just seduction. It thus doesn't work on Lazer Pony, who's blind, or straight/asexual women. Bi people and lesbians are still affected. How it would affect gay/ace males or pansexuals is still unknown.
- Relationship Sabotage: She tries to break up Lazer Pony and Mary Sue, in revenge for Bad Good Girl sabotaging her potential relationship with Lazer Pony. She tried to make LP miss a date, then when that didn't work made the chefs at the restaurant prepare gross meals. Finally, she just up and kisses LP while disguised as Good Girl, which still does nothing for him.
- Running Gag: Pretty much anyone who says they're immune to her powers ... isn't.
- Shrinking Violet: Seems to have been this in her hero days based on what little we've seen of her in flashbacks.
Edwin Porkington, a.k.a. "The Evil Savant"
- Bring My Brown Pants: Learning they have become a priority target for the heroes as a result of recent bank heist triggers this.
- Enfant Terrible: While his age has not yet been stated, his height would suggest that he is an adolescent at most.
- Hat of Flight: His propeller beanie allows him to fly.
- Intelligible Unintelligible: Distractarella always knows what he's saying and relays it to others.
- Potty Emergency: When he has to go, he has to go. Even in the middle of a bank heist.
- Start of Darkness: He swore vengeance on the world after Teletubbies was canceled.
- The Unintelligible: He doesn't seem able to speak in a normal language, but his allies and minions understand him.
Cyberguy
- Brick Joke: Eva was given the option to wear one of Evil Savant's Halloween costumes to infiltrate the LOSRH, either a cowboy costume or a TRON costume. This guy is wearing the one she didn't pick.
- Distracted by the Sexy: Working with Distracterella is one reason he is a rather sub-par minion.
- Fat Bastard: Albeit of the more pathetic variety than outwardly malicious.
- Gonk: He's not easy on the eyes, to put it mildly.
Cat-a-pult
- Ambiguously Gay: Cat-a-pult's sexuality is never brought up, but he is inexplicably immune to Distractarella's powers.
- Go-Karting with Bowser: He and Lazer Pony are close friends, and hang out in secret. Pony has even on at least one occasion covered for him when the authorities were after him.
- Heart Is an Awesome Power: He can do a lot with his "levitating cats" power. It also counts lions and such as cats.
- Minion with an F in Evil: He might serve a supervillain, but he's a very friendly man and quickly befriends Lazer Pony.
- Mundane Utility: He has to stretch for it a bit, but he's able to get some mileage out of his powers. Basically, he has normal telekinesis so long as he ties whatever he needs to a cat.
- Semantic Superpower: His power is "levitating cats". While he primarily uses it on house cats, it can work on any kind of cat, including lions and tigers, and even metaphorical cats... like cougars.
- Single Substance Manipulation: Cat-a-Pult has the ability to telekinetically move cats. It becomes a lot more useful when he figures out strapping cats to his body effectively gives him Not Quite Flight, and veers into Semantic Superpower territory when it turns out he can also levitate attractive older women (aka cougars).
- Your Costume Needs Work: His costume doesn't really evoke anything resembling a cat. Phantom Ghost calls him out on this on live TV.
Viktor Bolf, a.k.a. "Bolfman_234"
- All Men Are Perverts: Surpassing even Mr. Superhero and Asstronomous.
- Dirty Kid: Though it got worse as he got older.
- Doing It for the Art: He uses this as an excuse to take sleazy photos and considers being beat up in retaliation as a fair price for his 'art".
- Evil Versus Evil: With the Snob Goblin. Although the clash is not exactly impressive from the outset. And it only gets more and more pathetic from there.
- Fat Bastard: He's an obese man who spends most of his free time trying to get sleazy photos or videos of superheroines.
- The Internet Is for Porn: Viktor was a straight-A student in school, but he discovered internet porn and decided to dedicate his talents to plastering superheroines' faces onto pornstars' bodies. He eventually got so popular that he rebranded himself as a supervillain.
- Too Dumb to Live: Leaving aside the attempt to blackmail superheroes, one should realize that stepping out an airlock is a poor idea.
- X-Ray Vision: He developed a pair of X-Ray goggles, which only let him stare at women's skeletons. Which is apparently something he's into.
Other Supers
With census data suggesting two out of three citizens of Shitropolis are supers (in fact, the highest per capita in the entire country), it should be no surprise that the setting has more than its fair share of costumed villains and heroes.
A former alien warlord who made the mistake of conquering Shitroplis, he now suffers the thankless task of actually running the place. Although, surprisingly, he is enormously qualified for the task.
A heavily sarcastic hero of the Flying Brick variety. He is a therapist in his civilian identity, but still kind of a jerk about it.
An aging billionaire businessman who moonlights as a crime-fighting vigilante. He has the misfortune of having his Fox-cave located under the League of Super Redundant Heroes.
A normally meek fellow who can transform into an giant turquoise anger-monster.
One of Shitropolis' premier heroes.... and extremely disturbing to be around.
A newer hero on the scene. He wears a large banana suit and is rather unsettling.
A half-spider superhero and a generally cheerful guy.
Another of Shitropolis' many heroes, he fights crime with a power armor suit.
A rather generic-looking superhero. While he does fight crime, he also abuses his powers for... other interests.
A "magical doctor" who got his powers when he was bitten by a radioactive doctor. He's not an actual doctor, though.
of Shitropolis are supers (in fact, the highest per capita in the entire country), it should be no surprise that the setting has more than its fair share of costumed villains and heroes.Mayor Kurgh, a.k.a. "Kurgh the Conqueror"
- Action Politician: The absolute king of this trope.
- Ambadassador: Provides the current page image. His fighting prowess didn't go away when he took office.
- Badass Boast: Though he occasionally reads them off a teleprompter.
- Badass Decay: He tries to deny it, but he's rather embarrassingly outed to an old friend from his conquering days by Pamela.
- Fee Fi Faux Pas: An intern mistakes his mother for an invading "giant ugly alien monstrosity". Kurgh is not amused.
- I Call It "Vera": His old great-axe hangs in his office above a bronze plaque inscribed with "Elza".
- Indulgent Fantasy Segue: A classic example.
- Lame Pun Reaction: Fires his speechwriter on live TV over this.
- Obstructive Bureaucrat: He has little patience for these and sometimes falls back to his older methods in dealing with them.
- Oh, Crap!: Occasionally even he isn't prepared for Shitropolis' super problems.
- Only Sane Man: How he maintains his sanity while dealing with the city's constant superpowered problems is anyone's guess.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: A remarkably adept civil servant who is not afraid to take matters into his own hands in a crisis.
- Reformed, but Not Tamed: He's lost most of his warmongering tendencies, but hasn't lost much of his edge.
- Set Right What Once Went Wrong: Constantly having to do this to prevent robot uprisings.
- Took a Level in Kindness: Went from Galactic Conqueror to beloved local mayor.
- This Is Gonna Suck: Sometimes his only reaction to problems beyond his control.
- Victory Is Boring: Oh is it ever.
- Villainous Friendship: He gets to reunite with an old conquering buddy when the latter invades Shitropolis.
- Virtuous Character Copy: His appearance and status as a (former) Galactic Conqueror give him a more than passing resemblance to Mongul. However, he takes his government of Shitropolis very seriously and works to keep it running, unlike Mongul, who cares only for his own pleasures at everyone else's expense.
Sarcasmo
- Brutal Honesty: In his civilian identity as a therapist, he utilizes this over his typical sarcasm.
- Deadpan Snarker: Embodies this trope in its purest, undiluted form.
- Flying Brick
- Freudian Couch: Uses this in his civilian practice.
- The Gadfly: His jibes are largely harmless, and he seems to do it for his own amusement.
- Good Is Not Nice: One of Shitropolis' more well-known heroes, but a bit of an ass.
- Inner Monologue: Prescribes medication for this, but suffers from it himself.
- Meaningful Name: Sarcasmo is, to the surprise of few, bitingly sarcastic.
- Superheroes Wear Capes
- There Are No Therapists: Played with. While he is one, the quirks of his patients mean he isn't always effective.
- Tough Love: Practices this in his civilian job as a therapist, though his motives are somewhat questionable.
Flying Fox Man
- Badass Normal: Parodied. While he lacks Superpowers, in Shitropolis, this is considered kind of weird.
- Bat Signal: Unfortunately, he's not even close to the only vigilante using one.
- Beauty Equals Goodness: Subverted hard. In reality, he's not what most would call an overly attractive man.
- Captain Ersatz: Of Batman, obviously.
- Ceiling Banger: While in his Fox-cave, is interrupted rather frequently by the LoSRH, much to his annoyance.
- Deadpan Snarker: Second only to Sarcasmo in this department.
- Deceased Parents Are the Best: Parodied. He routinely stops by the cemetery to leave flowers... for his parent's dog, Coco.
- Gonk: Despite what the media thinks, he is not a pretty boy billionaire, but rather an aging bald man who is ugly as all get out. Eventually, he attempts to correct this.
- I'm Thinking It Over!: When deciding whether to deal with his newest sidekick's repeated freezings.
- Non-Powered Costumed Hero
- Pet the Dog: One of the only A-List superhero's who isn't a Jerkass to the LOSRH's.
- Stealth Hi/Bye: As one might expect, he is a master of this trope. Not to say he doesn't occasionally mess it up.
Zeus Sign, a.k.a. "The Bulk"
- HULK MASH!-Up: He uses one of the Hulk's catchphrases ("Bulk is the strongest one there is!") and claims to be able to throw anything into space (in this case, a giant robot). Unfortunately, the ground isn't as strong or durable as himself and he's missing Required Secondary Powers, so he only manages to shove himself with the equivalent force through the street and into the sewer.
- Inspired by…: The publication describing how he got his powers is... less than accurate.
- Magic Pants: Subverted to the horror of a would-be mugger, as he occasionally neglects to wear his stretchy-pants.
- Potty Emergency: As a result of Phantom Ghost's cooking.
- Rage Quit: Unsurprisingly, he is prone to this.
- Required Secondary Powers: Provides the current page image. He might be unfathomably strong, but the ground he's standing on... not so much.
The Spank
.- The Dreaded: Even other heroes are reluctant to stand next to him. Except for The Banana.
- Hell-Bent for Leather: He wears what appears to be a BSDM bondage suit.
- Not What It Looks Like: Given his outfit, his arrest of a supervillainess named Miss-Stress leads to this result.
- Ship Tease: With The Banana. Maybe.
- Terror Hero: He is deeply disturbing, to say the least, and is capable of inspiring confessions from his presence alone. Even unintentionally.
- The Voiceless: He doesn't speak. Justified, since his superhero-costume has a ball-gag in his mouth as default.
The Banana
- Offscreen Moment of Awesome: His second appearance (after being turned down from joining the Power Group) is him being declared the city's #1 superhero. To date, he has yet to do anything on-panel other than standing around in his banana costume.
- Ship Tease: With The Spank. Maybe.
- The Stoic: Rarely expresses any emotion.
- The Voiceless: He doesn't speak in any of the strips he's in.
Arachno-Dude
- Captain Ersatz: Of Spider-Man.
- Embarrassing Superpower: Unlike Spider-Man, he doesn't fire webs out of his wrists...
- Heroic Host: In his own words, "totally worth it".
- Inner Monologue: Sarcasmo's civilian identity prescribes him medication for this.
- Laser-Guided Amnesia: He frequently reveals his true identity, but nobody seems to ever remember it.
- Odd Friendship: With Lazer Pony, of all people.
- Wangst: The comic playfully pokes fun another franchise's angsting spider-themed hero.
Bronze Honcho
- Captain Ersatz: Of Iron Man.
- The Casanova: He's not above flirting and propositioning attractive female on-lookers.
- It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time: Turns out custom-fitted suits aren't well-suited to being tried on by your paramour.
- Powered Armor: Although he's had to get used to the chafing.
- Turn Your Head and Cough: Does not look forward to his yearly checkup/tuneup.
Mr. Superhero
- All Men Are Perverts: His very first comic-strip has him saving Margot from her abusive husband. When she asks how he got there so quickly, it's revealed he was watching her change through the window.
- Everyone Has Standards: He might be The Peeping Tom, but when Margot's husband attacks her with a knife he's in there and defending her immediately.
- Just in Time: It's not hard to arrive in the nick of time if you were already watching for other reasons.
- The Peeping Tom: He is introduced in this way.
- Secret Identity: As a civilian, he works at the local news-station alongside both Margot and, unwittingly, the alter ego of Aggravated Aviator.
- Stalker with a Crush: Would appear to have one on his coworker, Margot.
- Wife-Basher Basher: Despite his own lack of ethics, he draws the line at physical abuse.
Trevor, a.k.a. "Mr. Dr".
- Healing Hands: Thanks to being bitten by a radioactive doctor, he can heal someone just by touching them.
- Jerkass: He's a self-serving douchebag.
- Nominal Hero: He's largely in it for the money.
- Parody: His origin story parodies that of Spider-Man.
- Uncertified Expert: Because his professors wouldn't let him coast by using his powers, he dropped out without earning his degree. He's bitter about this.
Janus De Sang, a.k.a. "Terragon"
A magic-user and studier who can turn into a rhyming... demon?
- Captain Ersatz: Of John Constantine in his human form and Etrigan in his demon form.
- Rhymes on a Dime: Terragon only speaks in rhymes. Defendress asks if he writes them in advance or is just really good at freestyling.
- Spanner in the Works: The cult that planned to summon Hexagon studied the LoSRHs and accounted for all of their weaknesses. Unfortunately for them, the League hired Janus earlier that day to take a look at the whole "Two Good Girls" thing, and the cult had no idea what his powers were. This lets him transform into Terragon and save everyone.
- Superpowered Evil Side: Inverted. Terragon is nothing but helpful, while Janus is a bit of a money-grubbing jerk.Defendress: Has anyone ever told you that your demon alter-ego is more pleasant to deal with?
Janus: It does come up rather frequently, now that you mention it...
Civilians
Despite the aforementioned census data suggesting two out of three citizens of Shitropolis are supers, there are a number of non-powered members of the populace who largely ignore the whole issue and just live normal(ish) lives, treating the various caped conflicts a mild irritant or source of gossip.
A reporter for the local news station of Shitropolis. She unwittingly works alongside the alter egos of both Mr. Superhero and Aggravated Aviator. Her name is a pastiche of Margot Kidder and Erica Durance, actresses who played Lois Lane (whom Margot Durance is an expy of).
A recurring scientist who designs many of the solutions for the problems of the city. And many of the problems, as well.
The hard-working secretary of Mayor Kurgh. She is one of the primary reasons the city manages to remain semi-functional.
of Shitropolis are supers, there are a number of non-powered members of the populace who largely ignore the whole issue and just live normal(ish) lives, treating the various caped conflicts a mild irritant or source of gossip.Margot Durance
. Her name is a pastiche of Margot Kidder and Erica Durance, actresses who played Lois Lane (whom Margot Durance is an expy of).- Intrepid Reporter: Fitting, as she's and Expy of Lois Lane.
- The Peeping Tom: On the receiving end of this, owing to her superpowered coworker. Ironically, it saves her from her abusive husband because the hero in question was able to "arrive" the moment things took a turn for the violent.
- Talk Show: She hosts one called "Origins", interviewing guests such as Asstronomous, Flying-Fox Man, and Arachno-guy over the starts of their caped careers.
- Workaholic: She burns the midnight oil to an obsessive degree over her unofficial work.
Recurring Scientist
- Einstein Hair: Has a head of wild red hair.
- Four Eyes, Zero Soul: He seems to have and is willing to create anything.
- Mad Scientist: Is just as likely to create something that could revolutionize the world as he is likely to create something that could destroy it, or something completely useless.
- Omnidisciplinary Scientist: Capable of everything from genetics to time-travel.
Pamela
- Girl Friday: Steps into this role for Kurgh almost immediately after he conquers the city.
- Underling with an F in PR Unintentionally ruins Kurgh's in front of an old conquering-buddy.
Beth
Alex's older sister, a scientist who disapproves of superheroes.
- Child Prodigy: Apparently she once blew up the family garage with a homemade fusion reactor.
- Does This Remind You of Anything?: Eva accidentally letting slip that Alex is Defendress in front of Beth is played as if Alex was Forced Out of the Closet (ironically, Beth is fully supportive of her sister being a lesbian).
- Freudian Excuse: She hates superheroes because her father was a superhero until he lost his leg while fighting crime. This same thing is actually what inspired Alex to become Defendress.
- Nightmare Fetishist: When they end up in a post-apocalyptic future, Beth's first comment is that she appreciates the change of scenery considering they're on a time travel adventure.
