Line 1: {{work}} {{quote\|''"You'd think they'd never seen a gigantic ship erupt from the ground and open a monster-spewing tear in the fabric of space and time before."''~~\|'''Stephanos''', ''Chapter 1''}}~~ \|'''Stephanos''', ''Chapter 1''}} {{quote\|'''Jon Stewart:''' ''You can ... teleport?! AND you have telekinetic powers?'' '''Anderson Cooper:''' ''Err ... yes?'' '''Jon Stewart:''' ''I'm still having trouble wrapping my brain around the whole 'everyone I've ever known has superpowers' thing.'' '''Cooper:''' ''Oh please, Jon. It's not as if I've been hiding it!''~~\|'''Jon Stewart and Anderson Cooper''', ''Chapter 5''}}~~ \|'''Jon Stewart and Anderson Cooper''', ''Chapter 5''}} An unofficial fan webcomic by Page Branson wherein [[Stephen Colbert]], [[The Daily Show\|Jon Stewart]], and many other 'fake news' corespondents [[Superpower Lottery\|receive superpowers]], receive a magical [[MacGuffin]], or just happened to have had superpowers all along and they've just come in handy today, because today's the day that Dick Cheney reveals himself as an [[Evil Overlord\|Evil Alien Overlord]] bent on destroying our planet, stealing Stephen's magical [[MacGuffin]], and drinking the blood of pandas. Our heroes fight their way through monsters, possessed comrades, [[Evil Twin~~\|Evil Twins~~]]s and mountains of tropes on various [[Fetch Quest~~\|Fetch Quests~~]]s and rescue missions. Can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20131209113806/http://star-crossedcomic.com/fnr/fnr.html here]. See also: [[The Colbert Report]] and [[The Daily Show]] ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== This [[Web Comic]] provides examples of: ===~~ * [[Alternate Universe]]: All the villains so far came from one, as well did Tek Jansen. To make things better, each universe contains some version of of Stephen and Jon. * [[An Ice Person]]: Samantha Bee. Line 24 ⟶ 26: * [[Beethoven Was an Alien Spy]]: Dick Cheney - [[Evil Alien Conquerors\|Evil Alien Overlord.]] * [[Berserk Button]]: Riggle’s appears to be people harming [[Ho Yay\|John]] [http://www.star-crossedcomic.com/fnr/fnr_11_8.html Oliver]. * [[Canada, Eh?]]: Samantha Bee and Jason Jones have taken ~~the~~ [[~~Endofthe~~The End of the World Asas We Know It]] as the signal to start the Canadian invasion of America. * [[Car Fu]]: Anderson. * [[Celebrity Power]]: What the comic runs on. Everyone in conjunction with [[The Daily Show]] or [[The Colbert Report]] has superpowers, or something that gives them superpowers. * [[Chekhov's Gun]]: [[Genre Savvy\|Just tell me this line isn't going to be relevant later]]: {{quote\|'''Yonatan:''' ''I can smell something hidden... Something even greater than the blood of a [[Doctor Who\|time lord.]] Something monstrous...'''}} * [[Chromatic Arrangement]]: Played with, since Stephen is red, Jon is blue and Steve is green, even though Jon seems to be [[The Hero\|the ~~main~~ protagonist]], Steve acts like [[The Smart Guy]] and Stephen... Well, Colbert seems to be [[The Lancer]] if anything. He wishes he was [[The Hero]], though. * [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]: Almost everyone, especially the bad guys. ** Each character is color coded with an [[Battle Aura\|aura]] and the color of their [[Technicolor Eyes\|eyes]] that shows a bunch of stuff such as the color purple to denote anything//anyone on the side of evil, or if it's a protagonist, their [[Technicolor Eyes\|eyes]] and [[Battle Aura\|auras]] represent their powers. See the entry for [[Technicolor Eyes]]. Line 43 ⟶ 45: {{quote\|'''Stephen''': ''[http://www.star-crossedcomic.com/fnr/fnr_1_22.html "A bear. Of course it's a bear. Why would I have thought it would be anything other than a bear."]''}} * [[Evil Alien Conquerors]]: Dick Cheney. * [[Evil Twin~~\|Evil Twins~~]]s: Stephanos and Yonatan to Stephen and Jon. * [[Fastball Special]]: Rachel Maddow is positively gleeful about being able to [~~http~~https://~~www~~web.archive.org/web/20111202175616/http://star-crossedcomic.com/fnr/fnr_12_1.html try it]. * [[Flash Step]]: Stephanos and Anderson Cooper can both do this, and John Oliver can as well when he can get his time travelling screwdriver to work. * [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: Anyone possessed by Cheney. * {{spoiler\|[[Heel Face Turn]]}}: {{spoiler\|A [[And the Fandom Rejoiced\|long-awaited one]] for Yonatan, dragging Stephanos along with him.}} * [["I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20141227145428/http://www.star-crossedcomic.com/fnr/fnr_7_8.html Jon says this almost verbatim to] {{spoiler\|Stephen.}} ** : {{spoiler\|Later on, Riggle gives John Oliver a speech [http://www.star-crossedcomic.com/fnr/fnr_11_17.html in the same vein]}}. * [[If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Her...\|If You Ever Do Anything To Hurt Him]]: A [http://www.star-crossedcomic.com/fnr/fnr_11_35.html frankly scary one] from Jon to {{spoiler\|Stephanos and Yonatan}} regarding Stephen’s trust to ensure that {{spoiler\|their [[Heel Face Turn]] ''stays'' turned}}. Line 59 ⟶ 61: * [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: Played with, since John Olliver can't remember what happened to the rest of the [[Doctor Who\|time lords,]] but he has pretty good memories otherwise. It's just why he's on Earth and how he got here that's been giving him trouble. * [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: The end of [http://www.star-crossedcomic.com/fnr/fnr_6_32.html chapter six:] {{quote\|'''Jon:''' ''[[~~This~~Punctuated!

It's about time I found out what all the fuss is about.'' ~~<br~~ /> focus on Jon's [[Determinator]] expression~~<br~~ /> '''Stephanos:''' ''Let's get started.'' }} * [[Let's You and Him Fight]]: In Chapter 2, Jon gets into a violent disagreement with Samantha Bee and Jason Jones before the later two finally realize what's [[The End of the World as We Know It\|going on]]. Line 78 ⟶ 80: {{quote\|'''Stephen''': Jesus, can this place get more ominous? '''Jon''': Needs more spikes. And glowy shit. }} * [[Oh Crap]]: Jon during his fight with {{spoiler\|a possesed Colbert.}} Seen [https://web.archive.org/web/20110715180428/http://www.star-crossedcomic.com/fnr/fnr_7_7.html here]. ** Done by [[Evil Twin\|Yonatan]] [http://www.star-crossedcomic.com/fnr/fnr_7_11.html here] right before he gets a tree dropped on him, also doubling as a [[Curse Cut Short]]. * [[One-Winged Angel]]: [[Evil Twin\|Stephanos]] gives the speech almost verbatim [http://www.star-crossedcomic.com/fnr/fnr_7_19.html here] * [[Our Presidents Are Different]]: Bush is a classic President Buffoon as shown at the begining of the story. * {{spoiler\|[[Person of Mass Destruction]]}}: {{spoiler\|Turns out that John Oliver was turned into one of these in order to win the [[Doctor Who\|Time War]].}} * {{spoiler\|[[~~Pieta~~Pietà Plagiarism]]}}: {{spoiler\|Stephanos holds Yonatan this way after the latter’s [[Heroic Sacrifice]].}} * {{spoiler\|[[Please, I Will Do Anything!]]}}: {{spoiler\|Stephanos’s bargain with Jon Stewart if he saves Yonatan’s life.}} * [[Power Gives You Wings]]: Kinda-sorta [https://web.archive.org/web/20100401053301/http://www.star-crossedcomic.com/fnr/fnr_1_26.html here] when Stepehen gets his [[Blade on a Stick\|spear.]] * [[Sand in My Eyes]]: “And for the record, there’s dust in my eyes. Manly dust.” ([http://www.star-crossedcomic.com/fnr/fnr_11_31.html Spoilers]) * [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]]: Steve seems to have enough money to do this to the laws of physics via some sort of wealth-related magic. Line 100 ⟶ 102: Contrary to popular belief, it is Paul Dinello who is the current owner of [[Captain America (comics)\|Cap's shield]] after he grabbed it off of Stephen's mantlepeice during the fight with the [[Everything's Worse with Bears\|hellbear]]. Eric got his [[Star Wars\|lightsaber]] from the same mantlepeice during the same fight as mentioned above.
