This strip has a cast of thousands... er, dozens. Important recurring characters include:
* LaserLazer Pony (a.k.a. Troy Popcorn) - a blind guy with [[Eye Beams|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. ([http://superredundant.com/?comic=781-childhood-revisited With good reason.])
* Bad Good Girl - Good Girl was [[Literal Split Personality|split into two people]] around strip 666. TheyAfter combining their halos into one for a power-up, they take turns <s>wearing</s> 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. [[Rule of Funny|For some reason]], LaserLazer Pony's girlfriend.
* Cat-a-pult - Super villain (Attempting anyway) with the power to levitate cats. [http://superredundant.com/?comic=784-field-trip Any cats, including [[w:Cougar (slang)|cougars]]. Pals with LaserLazer 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) - [http://superredundant.com/?p=173 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.
 
Line 27:
* [[Distracted by the Sexy]]: Distracterella's whole superpower is this.
** [http://superredundant.com/?comic=strip-51 This strip] shows she always turns the trope [[Up to Eleven]]:
{{quote|'''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 {{here]]in one strip; even super villains can suffer low self esteem
* [[Expy]]: No prize for guessing who [[Fantastic Four (Comic Book)|the Famous Foursome, the Observer, and Galacticus]] are based on.
* [[Framing the Guilty Party]]: [http://superredundant.com/?p=244 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 [http://superredundant.com/?comic=1193-one-mans-trash 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]]: [http://superredundant.com/?p=291 Good Girl] although it could be her bad-girl persona leaking though.
* [[Kirby Dots]]: In the [http://superredundant.com/?comic=1101-dotted-history FF parody], of course.
* [[Lethal Chef]]: Buckaress, as shown in strip [http://superredundant.com/?comic=1120-fire-hazard 1120]:
{{quote|'''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 [http://superredundant.com/?comic=1192-brave-old-world strip 1192] when the League are time travelling uncontrollably.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Laser Pony, more often than not. Not that anyone listens.
{{quote|'''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]]: LaserLazer 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 [http://superredundant.com/?comic=746-express-yourself 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]]: [http://superredundant.com/?p=248 Laser Pony]. Simply using his powers for the first time is what blinded him.
* [[ReallyPower Gets AroundIncontinence]]: [http://superredundant.com/?p=259248 HowLazer manyPony]. boyfriendsSimply haveusing youhis stolen!?]powers for the first time is what blinded him.
* [[Really Gets Around]]: [http://superredundant.com/?p=259 "How many boyfriends have you stolen!?"]
* [[Shout-Out]]:

** [[James Bond|Agent Double-O Zero]] [http://superredundant.com/?comic=748-getting-with-the-times gets a makeover].
** [http://superredundant.com/?comic=948-civic-duty A weather controller] named [[Storm|Gale]].
** There's a hero based on one of the characters from ''[[Journey to the West]]''... via [[Dragon Ball|some manga]].
{{quote|'''Asstronomous''': [http://superredundant.com/?comic{{=}}1082-foreign-relations 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 [http://superredundant.com/?p=137 Distracterella], [http://superredundant.com/?p=139 Good Girl], [http://superredundant.com/?p=154 LaserLazer Pony] and [http://superredundant.com/?p=170 The Evil Savant]
