League Of ^[sic] Super Redundant Heroes is a web comic about a household of ineffective super heroes (and Keith). How ineffective? Not only are the "Super Girl Cub Scouts" more effective than they are, the regular Girl Cub Scouts are more effective than they are. That doesn't stop them from being effective once in a blue moon, though.

In their own words: "League Of Super Redundant Heroes is a stupid comic made by even stupider people. Nonetheless, we hope you enjoy this web comic and return frequently as we update with new strips and try and progress from stupid to less stupid."

This strip has a cast of thousands... er, dozens. Important recurring characters include:

• Lazer Pony (a.k.a. Troy Popcorn) - a blind guy with laser eyes and below average intelligence.
• Good Girl - A good helpful Christian girl, a beacon of sweetness and light, until her Battery of Virtue (halo power) runs out. Then she's kind of mean. (With good reason.)
• Bad Good Girl - Good Girl was split into two people around strip 666. After combining their halos into one for a power-up, they take turns wearing sticking each other with the halo.
• Buckaress (a.k.a. Eva) - former spy and roommate.
• Alex - Buckaress's girlfriend. No powers, but good with gadgets.
• Keith - Some guy they live with.
• Gyrognome - the landlord, fear his tiny powerful fists.
• Mary Sue - yes, that Mary Sue, with all the useful powers. For some reason, Lazer Pony's girlfriend.
• Cat-a-pult - Super villain (Attempting anyway) with the power to levitate cats. Any cats, including cougars. Pals with Lazer Pony, not that either lets his respective team find out.
• Distracterella - Super villaness with the power of distraction. Got her power from a sexy meteor.
• Bolfman_234 (a.k.a. Viktor Bolf) - Enforcer of Rule 34
• The Evil Savant (a.k.a. Edwin Porkington) - A mentally disabled evil mastermind
• Josie - Attended the same high school as Eva and Alex. She learned magic because she wanted both her own wonderful life and Buckaress's freedom. Something of an anti-villain.

Updates Mondays and Thursdays. While the strip doesn't actually show anything "exciting", the implications of some scenes are NSFW, so read this at home, folks.

Tropes used in League Of Super Redundant Heroes include:

• Bi the Way: Eva thought she was straight until she met Alex.
• Brainwashed and Crazy: According to her own bad girl personality, Good Girl is brainwashed by her halo.
  • She can put the halo over somebody else's head - at which point that person becomes brainwashed and she becomes Bad Good Girl. Unfortunately for Good Girl, the halo keeps coming back to her.
• Distracted by the Sexy: Distracterella's whole superpower is this.
  • This strip shows she always turns the trope Up to Eleven:

Bolfman_234: Tell you what, if you give me your suit for my collection I'll return your [video] feed to you. Distracterella: I can't. It's not a suit, it's body paint.

• Evil Gloating: Subverted in one strip; even super villains can suffer low self esteem
• Expy: No prize for guessing who the Famous Foursome, the Observer, and Galacticus are based on.
• Framing the Guilty Party: Gyrognome did it.
• Good Guy Bar: The Bar of Justice, although bad guys are welcome too; the place is often presented as a Truce Zone.
• Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act: When the League are time-travelling (uncontrollably), they do Newspaper Dating in strip 1193. Alex shows she isn't as observant as she thinks she is, completely missing the Page 1 headline "WAR AVERTED! Hitler Mysteriously Disappears"
• Innocent Fanservice Girl: Good Girl although it could be her bad-girl persona leaking though.
• Kirby Dots: In the FF parody, of course.
• Lethal Chef: Buckaress, as shown in strip 1120:

Alex: She has already set the eggs on fire. Cooking Instructor: But... The stove isn't even on.

• Most Common Superpower: Buckaress.
• Newspaper Dating: Invoked in strip 1192 when the League are time travelling uncontrollably.

Lazer Pony: Or we could just pick up a newspaper from any trash can in the city. Alex: That's not a bad idea. Good thinking! Lazer Pony: In science fiction it's like, time travel 101. Alex: In my defense, Star Wars doesn't have time travel or newspapers, so how would I know?

• Only Sane Man: Lazer Pony, more often than not. Not that anyone listens.
• Other Me Annoys Me: Zigzagged with Good Girl, or rather, her original, not-so-good personality, Bad Good Girl. Throughout the first few hundred strips, Bad Good Girl has despised her heroic alter-ego. However, when the two become a Literal Split Personality, they get along surprisingly well. More or less.
• Parody Sue: Mary Sue, of course. This comic is many things, but "subtle" is rarely one of them.
• Power Incontinence: Lazer Pony. Simply using his powers for the first time is what blinded him.
• Really Gets Around: "How many boyfriends have you stolen!?"
• Shout-Out:
  • Hogsworth’s finest
  • Agent Double-O Zero gets a makeover.
  • A weather controller named Gale.
  • There's a hero based on one of the characters from Journey to the West... via some manga.

Asstronomous: And for God's sake, would it kill you to comb your hair?

• Stripperiffic: Buckaress's first outfit was a hat, a mask, a skimpy top and short-shorts. And, as mentioned under Distracted by the Sexy, Distracterella wears body paint and three stars.
• Super-Hero Origin: Shown for Distracterella, Good Girl, Lazer Pony and The Evil Savant
