Chaos Theory
Chaos Theory is a webcomic by Connor and Clayton Lamb. The basic premise is that four teenage boys are inexplicably able to outgun not only Earth's military, but also that of an alien World of Badass, which in this case means that literally everyone has super-powers. The aforementioned alien army apparently still gets their ass kicked, many times.
Like so many web comics from 2012 or earlier, Chaos Theory has vanished completely from the Web, with its web site no longer even in existence.
Not to be confused with the mathematical/philosophical concept of Chaos Theory, also known here as For Want of a Nail.
Tropes used in Chaos Theory include:
- Anti-Villain: Rex. Yes, he's one of the Immortals, but he seems to be actively defying his brothers' attempts at conquest.
