Ensemble Darkhorse: Difference between revisions

** The best example would probably be Leonest. He was the first black marketeer the protagonists had to deal with, a demon-obsessed drug dealer. Thanks to his [http://mortifer.smackjeeves.com/comics/243547/chap12-valentines-day-part-2/ cool design] and deadpan attitude, he became instantly popular, and was upgraded to secondary cast member (Though all he did was hang out with the protagonists at their office between missions/during the [[Beach Episode]]. It's implied that he started doing other work for SinTech that doesn't overlap with what the protagonists are doing).

** A rather odd example would be Matthew. While ostensibly a member of the main cast, he barely got any screen time—only a small side plot about him stalking his brother's girlfriend that {{spoiler|eventually got co-opted by Joey anyway}}. Didn't stop Matthew from being more or less the strip's most popular character. [[spoiler: However, Matthew recently gained a ''lot'' more importance due to him becoming [[The Mole]] for Vlad. Amusingly enough, the reason for his betrayal was that he was never given anything to do—in other words, [[Don't Explain the Joke|because he didn't get enough screen time.]]

* ''[[Last Res0rt]]'' has Sedja the Efreet, a character that [[Genie in a Bottle|lives in a bottle]] around Addy's neck. Despite only having a few pages where she's even seen in the comic, let alone in action... [[Rule of Cool|well, who wouldn't like a character you shoot out of a gun?]]

* Zig Zag, the titular character's porn star boss in ''[[Sabrina Online]]'', has gradually been taking over the strip, to the point that the December 2010 group of strips focuses on Zig Zag and doesn't feature Sabrina at all.
