[[They Fight Crime]], [[We Help the Helpless|Help The Helpless]] and [[Save the World]] with [[New Media]]. It's like a wiki. With guns. Some chapters focus on technology, others on politics, and still others on the supernatural. And [[Anyone Can Die]].
Malfunctioning [[Lost Superweapon]]? They can track him, identify the tech, locate and interrogate the designer and [[Shoot the Dog]] if necessary. While [[The Men in Black]] are still getting dressed. Runaway [[Psycho Prototype]]? They can be on the scene with geeks, [[Badass|Badasses]] and even an inside informant while [[The Government]] is ''still'' arguing whether or not to just [[Nuke
A pilot episode was produced and completed and the show was scheduled to premiere in the Spring of 2005 on the WB television network. The series was executive produced and had a pilot written by John Rogers (''[[The Core]]'', ''[[Catwoman (Film)|Catwoman]]'', ''[[Transformers (Film)|Transformers]]'', ''[[Leverage (TV)|Leverage]]''), with many high-profile names attached on the production staff, including [[J Michael Straczynski]] (''[[Babylon 5 (TV)|Babylon 5]]''), Diego Gutierrez (''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''), Ben Edlund (''[[Angel (TV)|Angel]]'', ''[[The Tick]]''), and David Slack (''[[Teen Titans (Animation)|Teen Titans]]''). Nelson McCormick (''[[Alias (TV)|Alias]]'') directed the series pilot. Everything about the pilot rocked every bit as hard as the graphic novel.
Line 48:
* [[Grievous Harm With a Body]]: The Frenchman finished off Lionel Welfare by ripping off his arm and shoving it down his throat. They were both supposed to be [[Badass Normal]]s.
* [[Hacker Cave]]: Aleph's den, from where she runs the Global Frequency.
* [[Have I Mentioned I Am Sexually Active Today?]]: In the unaired pilot, after the female lead reels off a very lengthy list of her academic qualifications, all acquired at a very young age (she's no older than thirty), the male lead makes a joke about how she mustn't have found much time for a life in the process. She gets surprisingly touchy and insists at length that she did, ending with the [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|unconvincing and unsolicited information]] that she "had boyfriends". The clear implication is that she's still a virgin.
* [[Heroes Unlimited]]:
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Member 436}} in "Big Wheel".
** And {{spoiler|Dan}} in "Harpoon".
{{quote| '''{{spoiler|Dan}}''': ''All this [[Sealed Evil in A Can|stuff]] left over from [[Cold War|the last century]] that [[The Government|some bastards]] thought [[Muggles|we]] didn’t [[Government Conspiracy|have the right to know about]]. Bert? You remember the crap we took from [[NASA]] just for [[I Want My Jetpack|wanting to go to space?]] Like they [[Screw the Rules, I Make Them|owned the gate to the world?]] Screw them all. We’ll do what we like. We’ll save our own lives and grow our own wings.''}}
** {{spoiler|Tau}} in "Detonation".
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: One episode brings in Alan Crowe who claims to be a magician -- as in, a real one. He asserts that magic is "a psychological discipline." One of the other characters makes a sneering comment. Alan, amused, points out she's a parapsychologist, and as such can't exactly claim to be part of the rational orthodoxy herself. She's less amused by this.
