Evil Inc. is a superhero Webcomic created by Brad Guigar. Somewhat of a continuation of Guigar's previous strip, Greystone Inn, it revolves around the titular company which is run, staffed and provides entirely legitimate services for supervillains. Its CEO is Evil Atom, a once powerful and feared supervillain who is now somewhat past his prime.The main character of the strip was initially Lightning Lady, the Ensemble Darkhorse of Greystone Inn who at the beginning of the strip takes a job at Evil Inc. as a secretary- Later on, the strip gradually changed focus towards Captain Heroic, the number one hero in the unnamed city the strip is set in, and Miss Match, another Evil Inc. employee (though Lightning Lady still appears regularly in Saturday comics). A while into the strip (a point which Guigar has once called the "official" launch of Evil Inc.) it's revealed that the two are married and have a son, Oscar. Their opposite moral alignments has caused some conflict but they appear to be Happily Married.Though the strip is mostly gag-a-day, there have been several story arcs as well
All There in the Manual: Inverted. "Bio cards" with information about cast members, including background and powers, occasionally run as a day's strip.
Art Evolution: In later strips some characters' faces become more realistic, starting with the women but then expanding to most characters.
Bad Santa: Evil Atom decides to recruit Santa Claus, reasoning that he shows all the signs of being a classic villain. Santa surprisingly accepts - and promptly gets carted off by the Feds.
Biological Mashup: Dr. Muskiday is essentially a humanoid fly, his condition the result of a teleporter accident. He inverts the usual order of things though, in that the original Dr. Muskiday was the fly. The human was a janitor who mistook Muskiday's teleporter experiment for a trash can.
Brain Bleach: Both Captain Heroic and Miss Match get chills from the Unfortunate Implications of the thought of Commander Heroic "appealing" to Flame. Little do they know...
Brain in a Jar: Dr. Haynus is one of these - given mobility through being mounted atop the head of the family dog.
Canon Welding: Pretty much every character from Greystone Inn (with one exception, see Expy) has showed up in the strip at one point or another.
Cat Fight: When two groups of heroes come to blows over whether or not to destroy Evil, Inc, both sides are brought to a grinning standstill by Blonde Bombshell and Amazing Amazon squaring off in mid-flight.
Clothing Damage: Miss Match decides to sober up Desdemona by setting her on fire, as she's a demon and won't burn, but the alcohol will. It works, but they forgot her uniform wasn't fireproof...
Cut and Paste Comic: The Saturday strips use a small set of different sets of art with changed dialogue. At first they were Lighting Lady acting as Sexy Tech Support; later they became a series of [1]s on department names, while still later the scene shifted to the cafeteria's menu. Best so far? "Ghoulash".
Cute Monster Girl: Subverted. Desdemona is a demon, but in appearance is 100% human.
Though it should be said, they mostly sell inventions to supervillains, and most of their corporate strategies involve somehow getting stockholders behind super-villainy. They aren't so much selling their fancy techonlogies to the regular consumers.
Dating Catwoman: Captain Heroic and Miss Match aren't just dating, they're married.
Did You Just Polymorph Cthulhu?: During his match against Captain Heroic during Grand Gamer's tournament, Evil Atom wears down Cap by using his mastery over atoms (= matter) to change Grand Gamer, a Cosmic Being, into a duplicate of himself!.
Disembodied Eyebrows: Evil Atom gets these when Captain Heroic interrupts his fight with Miss Match.
Cap: As soon as your eyebrows land back on your head, I'll explain...
Lava Adds Awesome: the fight between Captain Heroic and Wingman. Cap has no problem with having bathed in lava to retrieve his Commander USA secret decoder ring, which he then uses to knock Wingman out.
Go Through Me: The alternate Miss Match tells Muskiday he'll have to do this if he wants to shoot Captain Heroic with Project X. He shoots anyway. And the alternate Captain Heroic takes the shot.
Groin Kick: Miss Match delivers one to the alternate Captain Heroic.
Iron Dragon: I never wore a skirt a day in my life...except that once. And that was with someone I loved...and her girlfriend.
Hero Insurance: One of the services Evil Inc. provides is "Battlefield Location and Booking" which seeks out abandoned locations for villains and heroes to battle to avoid lawsuits from any property damage and casualties.
Hollywood CB: Muskiday hams it up with CB lingo when he steals Project X from storage in a truck. The real truckers on the frequency are not impressed.
LL's alternate-universe self "utilises a special Nth-metal underwire".
Improv Fu: Muskiday and Haynus ad-lib the latter having a "force field" to explain their "capturing" the alternate Miss Match to Up'n Atom. Only a very short time later, Haynus shows off a working force-field generator...
Haynus: While you were picking up Project X, I got creative...
Instant Costume Change: Subverted. The alternate Miss Match ducks into an alleyway to change into her super-costume...and has to change like a perfectly normal person (giving a nice sideboob shot), which starts drawing a crowd (including the villain she's trying to thwart). She winds up finishing her costume change on a rooftop.
Alternate Miss Match: I bet Spider-Woman never had this problem...
Evil Atom: Try not to look like a credit-card lobbyist.
Desdemona: Believe me, there's nothingplastic about me
Laser-Guided Amnesia: The Ruby of Ragnoor storyline is all about this - and, specifically, its effect on Cap after Miss Match inadvertently wishes away his memory of their marriage.
Luke, I Might Be Your Father: Commander Heroic has a heart attack in mid-flight ("helped" by the fact Mr. Threat has been siphoning off his powers) when he sees Flame babysitting Oscar, and realises Miss Match might be his daughter. Thankfully, she isn't, and he gets better.
The Mafia: Evil, Inc is hired by the Mafia to steal one family's "superweapon" for another. It turns out it's Project X.
Persona Non Grata: Dr. Muskiday's back massager resulted in Evil, Inc. being forbidden from conducting business in the state of Utah.
Pity the Kidnapper: Phenomenal Lass decides kidnapping a security guard would be a good act of villainy. She didn't count on the fact that nine other guards would tag along wanting her to kidnap them too.
Dr. Muskiday built a set of power-draining cuffs for use on Lighting Lady. They come in handy during a heist, but were built with recreationalapplications in mind.
Muskiday: Lightning Lady! I didn't expect you to interfere with my plans! Actually... I did.
Puppy-Dog Eyes: Part of Miss Match's strategy for defeating Elastic Man (along with some whispering...)
Red Eyes, Take Warning: Miss Match. (More orange-ish, really, but it fits with the "flame".) Originally seen only in close-ups when angry but later (with Art Evolution) consistently.
Ring of Power: Dr. Muskiday invents a power ring that, instead of being powered by a user's emotion, changes to fit the user's emotions...a Power Mood Ring.
Muskiday: In righteous day or boogie night, no jive or funk escapes my sight...
Actual Rings of Power gave Commander Heroic and Ms. Amazing their powers. They double as their wedding rings.
Saving Christmas: Spoofed several ways. Lightning Lady has to do this after Santa gets arrested, and after she says she's saving Christmas, she has to take a number in a line of all the other fictional characters who have done so.
Captain Heroic: Is there any place I can touch you that won't be inappropriate?
Lightning Lady: If there is, I need to find a new tailor!
Ironically, LL's initial reaction to Desdemona was negative on account of her outfit. A bemused Keagan pointed out the obvious.
Super Powerful Genetics: Captain Heroic and Miss Match are both Type 1s. Oscar appears to be a type 5 (so far).
Cap is, apparently, actually a Type 3, given that Commander Heroic and Ms. Amazing got their powers from an ancient Egyptian artifact.
Taking You with Me: When they team up to bury a villain Dr. Haynus poisoned, Haynus threatens Muskiday with this if he gets caught. Muskiday isn't very impressed.
Muskiday: I'll add it to my long list of accomplice-ments.
Talking With Signs: There exists a sentient piece of paper who can only communicate this way. He used to be a narration box in the strip.
Miss Match: We've got to be the only people on Earth trying to cast spirits out of a demon.
Vehicular Sabotage: Evil Atom's car is (presumably) disabled by Lightning Lady when she thinks he's replacing her. When she learns she's being promoted, she advises him to take a cab.
Villainous BSOD: Evil Atom's reaction to Captain Heroic's Badass Bluff that his his wish to Grand Gamer was "anything that happens to my family will happen to yours".
This becomes Paranoia Fuel for Atom later, when his wife's modeling a new slip for him starts him wondering just how far "anything that happens" goes.
Vomit Discretion Shot: After biting into a doughnut containing a shrunken, spying Muskiday, Desdemona rushes off-panel with a very green face.
