Web Original / Upvengers Initiative

Go To

There was an idea... to bring together a group of remarkable subreddits, see if they could become something more. See if they could work together when we needed them to to fight the memes we never could. This sub is dedicated to producing Reddit's Mightiest Memes to defy the Mod Titan, Banos. As of this moment, we are at war with r/ThanosDidNothingWrong. It's going to take a lot of good OC to defeat him, if it's even possible at all. Spread the word. - r/UpvengersInitative sidebar

The Upvengers (and associates) are a group of Redditors based around the r/UpvengersInitative subreddit. The goal is to make enough Original Content to defeat Banos (Thanos, but Reddit-er). The Discord server is where most of The Lore happens, with plenty of conversation, OC discussion, and beer for everyone there.

First Phase Upvenger status was obtained by having a post with 100 upvotes, while Phase 2 Upvengers will need a war meme specifically to get 250 upvotes.


The subreddit provides examples of:

  • Big Bad: Banos. The Upvengers were created to defeat him.
  • Create Your Own Hero: Banos was unopposed until he banned half the users in The Snap. Some of them became the Upvengers, created to oppose him. Oops.

The Lore provides examples of:

  • The Chosen Many: The Mainverse Upvengers all (will eventually) have superpowers and are an organization dedicated to protecting innocents from Banos. There are many of them.
  • Horsemen of the Apocalypse: Sancho, Grass, Dolan, and Elika are the Horsemen, each with an instrument and Punny Name.
  • Darker and Edgier: The Rimverse. Morally gray half cyborgs, demon cults, insane top hat wearing vampire spirits- yeah. Not a fun place to be.
  • Our Vampires Are Different: Fancy and Cain are full vampires, Sancho has some vampirism now, Fanci is a genetic vampire. They’re all different.
  • Omnicidal Maniac: The Upvengers have dealt with a few. Notable are Gray and the Unbidden, though they were only encountered by Sancho.
  • Smart People Build Robots: Lab has built Geroge and Steve.
