[[File:First_year_magellan_cadets.jpg|frame|The intake of first year Cadets, shortly before the [[Training From Hell]] kicks in]]
 
Set on the eponymous island, ''[http://www.magellanverse.com Magellan]'' is a [[Superhero]] [[Web Comics|webcomic]] by Stephen Crowley (aka xmung) that starts with the arrival of Kaycee Jones and a score of new cadets to [[Super -Hero School|the Academy]], for many years of training in order to become an accredited [[Superhero]] in her own right.
 
Of course, before she can do that she, and all the other cadets, have to deal with the intensive training regime, the schoolyard bickering, romantic confusion, and not forgetting the murderous maniac with a vested interest to kill her and everyone else on the island...
Line 30:
* [[Literal Genie]]: [http://magellanverse.com/?p=2280 I wish I were younger]
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: The image at the top of the page only shows the first year cadets- there's also the other five years of cadets, the other teachers, Force Magellan, Oz Magellan, solo superheroes like Go!Anna...
* [[My Grandson, Myself]]: {{spoiler|Gola Beh as Olga Beh, supposedly her own grand-niece.}}
* [[Normal Fish in A Tiny Pond]]: Discussed during a support group for extra-terrestrial and extra-dimensional students.
* [[Not So Harmless]]: Evil Weevil managed to pull it out...without even appearing! We first see him in Brian's [[Power Fantasy]], where he seems to be a [[Silver Age]]-style [[Harmless Villain]]. Then we get to know that he was an arch-nemesis of Victory Man, world's first superhero and the one behind his [[De -Power]]. And then there's an exam involving fighting his robot duplicate and trying to stop his evil plan, copy of one original Weevil once pulled out. And it aint pretty.
* [[Psychic Nosebleed]]: Mudge Wilson.
* [[Rich Bitch]]: Charisma fits this trope like a glove.
Line 39:
* [[Significant Anagram]]: {{spoiler|Gola → Olga}}
* [[Superhero Prevalence Stages]]: Firmly late-stage, with international recognition and a system to train the next generation.
* [[Super -Hero School]]
* [[Superpowerful Genetics]]: Charisma's powers are very similar to her father Epoch's.
* [[Super Registration Act]]: Not mentioned, but it seems implied from the international monopoly over superheroing that Force Magellan holds. Those who do not go to Magellan Academy either go to Greenslopes to be trained in noncombat uses of their powers, or don't use their powers at all.
