X has been things like "[[http://iwd.fetchquest.com/archives.php?type=iwd&c=26 text]]", "[[http://iwd.fetchquest.com/archives.php?type=iwd&c=213 Axl Rose]]", "[[http://iwd.fetchquest.com/archives.php?type=iwd&c=133 shrimp]]", "[[http://iwd.fetchquest.com/archives.php?type=iwd&c=168 Pharaoh Man]]" (who is the one to most frequently cause a Dodongo comic), "[[http://iwd.fetchquest.com/archives.php?type=iwd&c=376 quasiphysics]]", and "[[http://iwd.fetchquest.com/archives.php?type=iwd&c=554 Satan]]".

[[http://iwd.fetchquest.com/ In Wily's Defense]] is a completed SpriteComic by Mike Renner centered on the question of what would happen if the roles of Dr. Wily and Dr. Light of the classic VideoGame/MegaMan games were reversed; i.e., Dr. Wily is a roboticist-turned-Twinkie factory owner that only wants a quiet life (but does a fairly poor job at it), while Dr. Light is a megalomaniacal MadScientist dead-set on killing every last one of the Wilys. Throw in a loud, lazy egotistical God and his Angels of Love, Death, Destruction and Fate, and, well, [[HilarityEnsues guess what happens next.]]

About halfway into IWD's third season, Renner began its sequel, ''[[http://southtown.fetchquest.com/archives.php?id=1 Tales of Southtown]]'', another sprite comic primarily focusing on the Seraphim, the children of the three female Angels [[spoiler:(who have been promoted to [[Webcomic/FetchQuestSagaOfTheTwelveArtifacts Goddesses]])]], and a few characters from FatalFury, ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'', and one from StreetFighter. [=ToS=] was discontinued due to a lack of a concrete plot.

These {{Webcomic}}s provide an example of:

* AGodAmI: Heat Man, Elec Man durring his cameo, Storm Green in season 2.
* AIIsACrapshoot: Eddie and X
* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler:Gabriel Knight's soul was stuck inside Freeze Man's encapsulated body for a year before Fiora decided to start working on him]]
* AnimatedActors: It wasn't until late in the first season, but IWD was portrayed as a TV show

* AuthorAvatar: [[http://iwd.fetchquest.com/archives.php?type=iwd&c=175 parodied]]
* AxCrazy: Eddie, X, Freeze Man, Magdelena
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Cut Man]]

* BodyCountCompetition: [[http://iwd.fetchquest.com/archives.php?type=iwd&c=200 IWD 200]]

* ButtMonkey: Kiki
-->'''Kiki:''' "Okay, seriously. Why is it that I'm physically or mentally abused even in my own flashbacks?"

* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler: Gabriel Knight aka Freeze Man.]]

* CombatCommentator: [[http://iwd.fetchquest.com/archives.php?type=iwd&c=456 played]] [[http://iwd.fetchquest.com/archives.php?type=iwd&c=457 for]] [[http://iwd.fetchquest.com/archives.php?type=iwd&c=458 laughs]] by Heat Man and Gyro Man

* DarkerAndEdgier: The second series. [[spoiler: Thanks to Freeze Man and Doppler's actions, robots have come under increasingly severe scrutiny in fear that they too will go on a rampage. The prologue explicitly states that Amy and co are blamed completely for Freeze Man's Megapolis attack [[UnwittingPawn (which is KINDA true)]] and resentment towards Robots being treated equally as humans have sparked several mass riots (some led by Glenn Beck). Oh, and the series proper ''opens'' with a massive terrorist attack by a group of renegade robots [[SerialEscalation even more powerful than Freeze Man]], Dr Knight is revealed to have had a hand in the attack and is arrested, and Amy herself is also under suspicion of being involved in the attack. Hell, the first chapter is basically a SmugSnake government agent interrogating Amy on her role in the attack.]]
** Even the villains are far more brutal and dark. In the first series, even Freeze Man and [[spoiler:Sputnik]] had most of their atrocities kept offscreen, and Freeze Man was played for laughs just as often as he was played seriously. The Prism Masters, though? Of the ones we've seen so far, [[PsychoForHire Red]] incinerates a hapless civilian, [[MoreDakka Indigo]] massacres dozens of security guards, [[AGodAmI Green]] [[spoiler:''KILLS'' Crystal, brutally]], and [[BigBad Black]] [[spoiler:strangles an unarmed woman ''right in front of her preteen daughter'']]. All of this happens completely onscreen.

* MonsterClown: Cut Man [[http://iwd.fetchquest.com/archives.php?type=iwd&c=512 uses this trope to his advantage]] in the battle of wits in response to Napalm Man's claim that [[FinalFantasyVI Kefka]] was "nothing more than a glorified clown".

* AGodAmI: Heat Man, Elec Man durring his cameo

* {{Satan}}

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler:As Blues explains, destroying Doctor Light's ArtifactOfDoom turns out to have been a ''very'' bad idea, mainly because it was actually the prison for [[PersonOfMassDestruction Freeze Man]].]]

* BackFromTheDead [[spoiler:Cut Man]]
