Second League
Second League was a weekly Web Comic written and drawn by TV Troper Insanity Inside. It can be found here, but it hasn't updated since 2011.
Welcome to the Second League, the club for superheroes who just weren't cool enough. —Nobody
|
Our story begins when a young man called Larry accidentally reveals his secret: he has superpowers. His friend Steve, who turns out to be a superhero himself, persuades him to join the League, a group of wacky superheroes, lead by the mysterious, powerful and slightly disgusting Pooperman...
Or maybe it begins when a boy named Bobby is rescued by Pooperman. A few days later he overhears Larry and Steve's conversation and decides to become Steve's sidekick...
Either way, Hilarity Ensues.
