History Webcomic / TheGreeningWars

** "Greening Lantern" has its own [[ShoutOut interesting]] [[GreenLantern implications]]...

The Greening Wars is webcomic on Drunk Duck that incorporates some PostApocalyptic tropes along with with scifi, comedy and drama to produce a unique story. The comic begins with recap of World War III after the second page of the comic gives some quotes about the future of the planet from three well established individuals, after the WWIII summary we meet our first main character who happens to be a handicapped ex-military woman after that we get some main cast introductions and then get a quick look at an organization called "The Greening" who are basically run by a GodEmperor playing MadScientist with the genetic structure of everything from humans to animals, and possibly plants.

-->'''Hatchet:''' Relax, mermaid. Poster exaggerates to scare stupid tourists. Carnivorous rabbit prefers insects. [[NoExceptYes Now giant rats, THEY eat hand.]]

* BadassNormal: Hatchet, that is all.

* CreepyGood: Hatchet, on several levels.

* EvilutionaryBiologist:One of the Greening's two [[PlanetOfHats hats]].
* FunnyAnimal: Their other hat.
* GodEmperor: Gaia.

* MeaningfulName: Arc, hinted at with the statement that the only thing he can remember from before his mind got rewired is the acronym A.R.C. The kicker is that he has no idea what it stands for. It doubles as a reference to his Lantern [[ShockAndAwe electrical powers]].
** Of course, "Greening Lantern" has its own [[ShoutOut interesting]] [[GreenLantern implications]]...

* NeverFoundTheBody: Paxia's body was identified via DNA evidence, and given [[LegoGenetics her line of work...]]
** Underlined by the accompanying image: [[spoiler: Paxia walking away from a burning building to a waiting helicopter]].
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: The lab that Mander and Stone are restoring is home to an angry, Greening-hating {{poltergeist}}. He doesn't seem to mind the UCM sabotage team, though...yet.

* SymbolSwearing: Uses some truly epic symbols at times.

* {{Technopath}}: The lanterns are this plus a HiveMind-based communications network, plus they double as telepresence devices for Gaia. In an interesting twist, they are almost mindless.

* BiologicalMashup: Gaia (her physical body, at least) is composed of a bizarre assemblage of animals fused together, including at least one exposed brain, and several different heads and voices.

!Here are some tropes the comic has given so far:

The Greening Wars is webcomic on Drunk Duck that incorporates some PostApocalyptic tropes along with with scifi, comedy and drama to produce a unique story.

* HulkSpeak:
** The Lanterns.
** Arc is the only one that doesn't do this, convenient since he's in the main cast.
* LegoGenetics: Policy of the Greening regarding to volunteers and desenters
* MeaningfulName:
** Arc, hinted at with the statement that the only thing he can remember from before his mind got rewired is the acronym A.R.C. The kicker is that he has no idea what it stands for.
** It should be noted that another character used those letters to name him.
** This could also be an unintended electricity reference, seeing as a Greening lantern that we see later has the distinction of having an electricity based name.
* ShockAndAwe:
** The "lanterns" from the Greening.
** And Arc, which comes in handy since he's also TheSmartGuy of the team.
** All lanterns, and by default Arc, are also playing the {{Technopath}} card, seeing as their minds can literally link up with various wireless networks.
* {{Technopath}}:
** The lanterns are this plus an organic communication network, although all the ones used by The Greening are TooDumbToLive, which is an interesting twist.
** The only one who shows the potential is Arc, who somehow got lucky and just got most of his memory wiped and the rest of his mind thoroughly scrambled.
