History Webcomic / Magellan

* RandomTeleportation: When Gifford got separated from the magical MacGuffin that allowed him to teleport through dimensions, he ended up in smack in the middle of Magellan's council table.

* AlphaBitch: Charisma qualifies in spades. Freya also mentions channeling her inner "alpha bitch" to properly get Brelvis to listen to her.

Set on the eponymous island, ''[[http://www.magellanverse.com Magellan]]'' is a SuperHero [[{{Webcomics}} webcomic]] by Stephen Crowley (aka xmung) that starts with the arrival of Kaycee Jones and a score of new cadets to [[SuperheroSchool the Academy]], for many years of training in order to become an accredited SuperHero in her own right.

* SignificantAnagram: [[spoiler:Gola → Olga]]

* AMindIsATerribleThingToRead: Gola Beh, [[spoiler: reduced to the age of a teenager]] and having lost a lot of her memories even before that, tries to read the mind of the old man that knew her before. HilarityEnsues. So does {{Squick}}.

Embracing and parodying superhero tropes in good measure, Magellan is currently telling a chapter entitled "Lock(e)down".

* InsufferableGenius: Rochelle Kwan, thanks to being one of the smartest people, teenager, adult, or alien, comes off as one of these. It takes meeting Mindmistress' alter ego Lorelai to get her a taste of humble pie.

* HairstyleInertia: Lampshaded by present-day characters who note a decades-older future version of [[spoiler:Montana-Rose]] has the exact same hairstyle as her present counterpart. She reveals she changes her hairstyle weekly and any similarities are just coincidental.

* SouthernBelle: Montana Rose shows shades of being one.

* LegacyCharacter: [[spoiler: In one future, Bill Banks becomes Victory Man II]]

* GoryDiscretionShot: The fifth story line starts off with several panels of young people getting dragged off-screen and eaten alive by monsters... but not before one nice NightmareFuel shot of one of the victims still alive, while a monster noshes on his freshly-dismembered arm.

* AMindIsATerribleThingToRead: Gola Beh, [[spoilers: reduced to the age of a teenager]] and having lost a lot of her memories even before that, tries to read the mind of the old man that knew her before. HilarityEnsues. So does {{Squick}}.

* NotSoHarmless: Evil Weevil managed to pull it out...without even appearing! We first see him in Brian's PowerFantasy, where he seems to be a SilverAge-style HarmlessVillain. Then we get to know that he was an arch-nemesis of Victory Man, world's first superhero and the one behind his DePower. And then there's an exam involving fighting his robot duplicate and trying to stop his evil plan, copy of one original Weevil once pulled out. And it aint pretty.

* YouCantGoHomeAgain: It's unclear if Gifford is [[spoiler: stranded from his home dimension for good or if he just decided to stay at Magellan because he has a HeroComplex. His dialogue during his support group meeting leans towards the former.]]

* TheButterflyEffect: As shown in the [[spoiler: alternate future, Go!Anna dying in a plane crash]] turned out to have life-changing events, even for characters she never got the chance to meet in that timeline.

* AllInTheManual: Subverted. There used to be many more [[EasterEggs notes,]] both under the individual comic pages and in the cast pages, especially regarding the original heroes like The Victorious and International Justice Force. At some point, in between moving websites and re-tooling the site, these notes were either lost or taken out.

* FunctionalMagic

* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Fatima is one of these - then again, she's half cephelapod, which is another issue entirely…

* TheButterflyEffect: As shown in the [[alternate future, Go!Anna dying in a plane crash]] turned out to have life-changing events, even for characters she never got the chance to meet in that timeline.

[[spoiler: * AlternateUniverse: It's implied that the Magellan the readers are seeing is actually the ''alternate'' of the original timeline. Trying to sum up the MindScrew briefly, two villains went [[TimeyWimeyBall back in time]] to try and change things. Instead of altering their future, they instead created an alternate timeline.]]

* TalkingApplianceSidekick: Dr Spooky has Otto the [[http://magellanverse.com/?p=2236 demon possessed hearse]]

* DangerRoomColdOpen: the Robo-Mat provides a variety of training scenarios, using robot stand-ins of actual Magellan villains, against which the cadets are expected to prevail.

* SuperheroSchool

* TalkingCar: Dr Spooky has Otto the [[http://magellanverse.com/?p=2236 demon possessed hearse]]

* WebcomicTime: ''Bad Karma'', an arc that takes place mostly over a single day, took two and a half '''years''' to complete. Also of note is the fact the comic started in March 2004. The writer clearly didn't anticipate how long it was going to take to tell the story, for the main character and her schoolmates are the class of 2009, indicating they were supposed to graduate roughly in real time.

* {{Crossover}}s: {{Mindmistress}} tutors Rochelle, Hoodoo is currently in ''{{Crossoverkill}}''.
