History Webcomic / LeagueOfSuperRedundantHeroes

* NoNameGiven: A variant. Alex's superhero name was not revealed until comic 586. She was first revealed to be a superhero in comic 323 (and first seen in costume in comic 325). Lampshaded when [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=516-paying-attention Buckaress forgets and defends herself by saying that Alex doesn't say it very often.]]

* PityTheKidnapper: In one arc, Distracterella's gang manages to capture most of the heroes and leave them BoundAndGagged in the closet of their own house, and take their place there. Lazer Pony [[WhatAnIdiot proves incapable of telling their voices from his actual roommates]] or noticing that Buckaress seems to be missing. Unfortunately, Distracterella hears a lot of things she doesn't like both from talking to him and overhearing his conversations with Mary Sue. (She becomes jealous after hearing he has been on three dates with her, and Bad Good Girl had told him she was ugly.) Eventually after hearing too much, she decides to untie the others and tells her gang they're leaving. ([[http://superredundant.com/?comic=168-unfair Unfortunately for Lazer Pony]], the others do ''not'' accept his blindness as an excuse this time.)

* TheUnpronounceable: The news anchor, [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=175-pattern-recognition Paul Quascktranopopolisus]].

** A man with a FaceFramedInShadow [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=734-bombastic contacts the Power Group with a bomb threat]] - turns out he'd just misplaced it, and is quite grateful they found and returned it to him.
** [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=good-girl-origin Good Girl's origin]]: An EnfantTerrible named Nicky Skantart who was so evil an exorcism was ordered... but the priest had bad eyesisght and mixed up the rooms, performing an exorcism on someone else who then became Good Girl.

* BaitAndSwitch: A man with a FaceFramedInShadow [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=734-bombastic contacts the Power Group with a bomb threat]] - turns out he'd just misplaced it, and is quite grateful they found and returned it to him.

* OutOfFocus: After mr.Sausage was left to continue the strip on his own with most of the strips forming long storylines (especially due to the lack of one-off strips amidst them), many of the recurring characters from the earlier years of the strips have practically disappeared: Gyrognome, Mayor Kurgh, Distracterella to name a few

* WantonCrueltyToTheCommonComma: Many strips (particularly early ones) demonstrate a limited grasp of the English language. Grammar, punctuation, and spelling errors abound. [[YouMakeMeSic Which commenters are quite keen on pointing out]].

* StuffedIntoTheFridge: Subverted. When Josie attacks Buckaress and Alex, [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=469-distracted one of her mummy-ninjas get in a lucky hit on Alex]], causing Buckaress to think she died. Turns out, [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=477-convenience the mummy's sword had just activated her P.L.O.T. Armor's "Convenience" feature]]. It decided that the most convenient thing to do was let Buckaress think Alex was dead ([[AnguishedDeclarationOfLove for some reason...]]).

* UnfortunateNames: Lazer Pony's real last name is "Popcorn".

* YourCostumeNeedsWork: Multiple:
** A variation occurs when Cat-A-Pult gets asked why his powers have a completely feline theme yet he wears a costume that makes him look like a monkey.
** And played straight when [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=851-fandom the group are in a fantasy setting]] and Buckaress looks exactly like a stage production character in town.

* RealityEnsues: A common form of humor from the strips. For example:
** Sorry, Mr. Jackson, but taking a crazy risk [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=208-consequences doesn't always pay off]].
** An Iron Man {{Expy}} invites a woman to try on his PowerArmor as a pickup line -- [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=232-bronze-honcho suffice to say, it doesn't go well]].
** A supervillain once manages to successfully tie all the limbs of the Spider-Man {{Expy}} so that he can't attack him. [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=326-biology He then taunts him about not being able to shoot web out of his hands]]. Part of the taunt involves a mention about real spiders being seemingly able to shoot web out of their anus. [[TemptingFate You can see how well that ends up for said supervillain]].
** A parody strip tells a story of a man who loved crayfish so much that he used to catch them in the river all the time. Eventually, he put on a lobster costume and called himself the [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=264-crayfish-cravings "Cray-Crayfish man"]], not because he gained mutant lobster powers, but because he went insane after fishing for Crayfish in a stream full of toxic waste for a while.
** A Wolverine {{Expy}} once tries to cling to a wall with his claws. All that it accomplishes is deep scratch marks within the wall due to him being too heavy for his claws to support himself.
** A super once demonstrates that he can jump so high, he can wind himself into space with a single leap. However, since BatmanCanBreatheInSpace is averted within this strip....
** Kurgh the Conqueror managed to successfully seize control over Shitropolis. He now has to suffer the total monotony of dealing with mayoral politics.
** When you travel through time, make sure you also travel through space to land somewhere safe. [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=178-universal-expansion Or somewhere at all.]]
** When the Hulk expy tries to lift something super heavy, [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=131-physics he ends up in the ground]], since it isn't strong enough to support all the weight.
** A [[Literature/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory Willie Wonka]] {{Expy}} gets [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=726-bucket-list arrested]] for NoOSHACompliance and slavery.
** An [[BarFullOfAliens alien bar owner]] is forced to operate on the bartering system since perceived value cannot be maintained between thousands of different races across the galaxy.
** A massive alien spy using a hologram device to look like a little girl is not fooling anyone, because looking like a little girl doesn't stop him from weighing enough to leave enormous footprints in concrete.
** It turns out that the super-addictive fried chicken of the other world arc isn't magic or impossibly delicious. The real reason everyone couldn't get enough is that [[spoiler:[[http://superredundant.com/?comic=929-imperial-foundation the secret ingredient is coca leaves]], the major component of cocaine]].
** [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=951-criminal-activity One would-be villain]] is in jail because he fell behind on child support planning his bank heist and building the giant vacuum cleaner for it, which had some major issues, like transporting the giant vacuum cleaner to the bank or getting its hose into the vault.
** When Lazer Pony brings in a contractor to see about getting the cave under the house turned into an official command center for the team, the contractor is horrified that there is a giant hole beneath the house and claims they are lucky their house hasn't collapsed without any foundations, before stating he'll have to call it in to get it fixed immediately.
*** In the same strip, Lazer Pony isn't at all bothered by being told this is going to cost a lot of money to fix, because he's not the landlord. Gyrognome is the one who's being forced to pay.
*** In the next strip, when Gyrognome threatens to kick them all out and sue them for devaluing his property, Lazer Pony and Keith point out that doing so would alert the neighbors to how the entire neighborhood is built on top of a massive cave system that could collapse at any moment.
** When the team gets an alert about a crime in progress on their crime computer, by the time they turn up they find that the crime has long since been taken care of by one of the cities countless other heroes who got the same alert on their own crime computers.

* RepetitiveName: Phantom Ghost

* WhatDidYouExpectWhenYouNamedIt: Flying-Fox Man shouldn't be so surprised that he'd lost a lot of sidekicks... {{ahem}}... "crime-solving junior partners" when you consider that they were all named "[[DumbDodoBird Dodo]]"...

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=1068-no-political-pundits-were-harmed-during-the-production-of-this-strip One strip]] directly references the trope in its title, using a parody of a Creator/FoxNewsChannel political pundit.

* INeedToGoIronMyDog: Humble Bee gives Lazer Pony the perfect excuse to turn down Distracterella in [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=109-best-pals "Best Pals").

** Taken UpToEleven with Mosquito Man, of which there have been no less than [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=412-wildlife 113!]]

* StrawmanNewsMedia: Cox [[AirQuotes "News"]], a parody of the Creator/FoxNewsChannel. When a future generation uses a time machine to call the current generation out on ruining the world, they belittle them as rude millennials and demonize liberals as jerks who want to take your money. They also suggest that corporations should have the right to vote and that poor people are not people. They are complete hypocrites who want to lower taxes but only for themselves and end free speech in the name of free speech by making themselves a monopoly. One of their hosts even privately admits that his accusations about socialists planning to take away free speech and guns are absolute lies and expresses pride in being a liar.

* AllMythsAreTrue: Many gods are superheroes, which can get awkward when gods of the same personification from different pantheons meet. Also, [[http://superredundant.com/?comic=783-heroes-of-old heroes of legend may find themselves in trouble when mortals know all the stories about their weaknesses.]]
