A British Sci-Fi comedy webcomic inspired by shows like ''[[The
Jump Leads is created by Ben Paddon and illustrated by "JjAR". Rather than having a single writer, Jump Leads has a TV Series-esque writing team, with different writers writing the scripts for different issues. Paddon is the lead writer, with the rest of the team being Euan Mumford, Paul Varley and Andrew Taylor (plus guest writers).
Line 28:
* [[Ted Baxter]]: Captain Whedon. Heck, he practically says as much:
{{quote| "I'm Captain Whedon. I'm very important and, as such, completely justified in my arrogance."}}
* [[The Obi
* [[Wide Eyed Idealist]]: Meaney
Line 57:
* [[Just Between You and Me]]: Averted: this is one of the few errors Gray won't commit. No sense in a "before I kill you, let me tell you my plan" if you aren't going to kill them. The heroes can't have it ''all'' their own way.
* [[Locking MacGyver in The Store Cupboard]]: Deliberate. Gray wants the crew to escape their holding cells "Somewhere between Step 1: {{spoiler|Build highly complex volcano island base}} and Step 3: [[Memetic Mutation|Profit]]!" so he {{spoiler|won't have to work out the details of his plan}}.
* [[Mike Nelson, Destroyer of Worlds]]: With taking it over rather than destroying it. Gray {{spoiler|has taken over the world once already, found the experience of running it [[Victory Is Boring|boring]], and abdicated power. But he still loves ''trying'' to take over the world. So he now invents ludicrously flawed plans for his bids for world domination}}.
* [[Not So Harmless]]: {{spoiler|At the end of the issue, with reverse-engineered universe-jumping technology within his grasp, Gray decides to start conquering other, parallel worlds - and this time, he's going to do it ''[[Dangerously Genre Savvy|properly]]''}}.
* [[Shout Out]]: All to [[James Bond (Film)|James Bond]]: Moore to Roger Moore; General Donald Gray is a double reference (Charles Gray played Blofeld in ''[[Diamonds Are Forever (Film)|Diamonds Are Forever]]'', [[Donald Pleasence]] played Blofeld in ''[[You Only Live Twice (Film)|You Only Live Twice]]''), while Gray's chief scientist Dr. Llewelyn (note lack of second double-L) is the late Desmond "Q" Llewelyn. Also, Meaney introduces himself to special agent Jane Moore as "Meaney. Thomas Meaney."
