Second League

"Welcome to the Second League, the club for superheroes who just weren't cool enough."

- Nobody

Second League was a weekly Web Comic written and drawn by TV Troper Insanity Inside. It can be found here, but it hasn't updated since 2011.

Our story begins when a young man called Larry accidentally reveals his secret: he has superpowers. His friend Steve, who turns out to be a superhero himself, persuades him to join the League, a group of wacky superheroes, lead by the mysterious, powerful and slightly disgusting Pooperman...

Or maybe it begins when a boy named Bobby is rescued by Pooperman. A few days later he overhears Larry and Steve's conversation and decides to become Steve's sidekick...

Either way, Hilarity Ensues.
