The Acronym is a Captain Underpants group fan comic on Tumblr and Instagram, written by user kittykatgeorgie
and illustrated by various other users. While mainly based in the continuity of The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants, it does include various elements from both the book series and Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie.
After a fateful day of getting exposed to the school cafeteria leftovers, George and Harold, along with Melvin, Erica, Bo, Gooch, and Other Sophie, develop super powers (Harold getting Super-Strength, George getting Hypnotic Eyes, Melvin getting Invisibility, Erica getting Telekinesis, Bo getting Voluntary Shapeshifting, Gooch becoming a Master of Illusion, and Other Sophie getting Teleportation). After discovering this, and that they’re all part of the LGBT community, they decide to become a queer-themed superhero team.

Tropes:
- Hypnotic Eyes: This is George’s superpower. His eyes become red swirls which are similar to the Hypno-Ring.
- In Touch with His Feminine Side: Harold is shown wearing dresses occasionally throughout the comic.
- Visible Invisibility: Due to being in comic format, Melvin’s invisibility is displayed as a transparent outline.
