Line 2: [[File:Trope_Graphic_1525.jpg\|frame\|[[Implausible Deniability]] thy name is Skull Girl]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20200218014821/http://www.supertemps.ca/index.html Super Temps ] is a super-hero parody comic where not only are all the principal characters are punch clock [[Punch Clock Hero\|heroes]] and [[Punch Clock Villain\|villains]], but many other stock characters (from the [[~~Distressed~~ Damsel in Distress]] to the mooks) are ~~ALSO~~''alos'' just working their day jobs. It's set in a world where the entire economy is based off the merchandising and media sales from the public conflicts of Supers (and the government owns a large stake in it). Additionally, everyone has a power -- most of them just suck in a comic book sense, [http://www.drunkduck.com/Super_Temps/index.php?p=585007 like having all the small, lost objects show up in your dryer, or immunity to cholesterol]{{Dead link}}. The main character is Skull Girl, who is naive, sweet, energetic, undeniably cute and amazingly competent, yet for all intensive purposes she is a [[Minion ~~With~~with an F In Evil]] (at least while wearing her [[Stripperiffic]] villain costume -- which she designed purposely uncomfortable in an attempt to make herself cranky and keep herself 'evil'). She is a new graduate, and after a series of failed attempts to enter the industry, finally gets her break. The ~~titicular~~titular "Super Temps" is actually the name of the biggest super temporary-employment agency which supplies the '"flavour of the week'" antagonist as well as occasionally one-shot heroes for whatever capers have been planned. The cast is large and quirky, and probably the most notable element of the comic is that it's a super-hero comic with no actual evil characters (and very little real heroics) in it. Not to be confused with the ''[[GURPS]] Supers'' supplement of [[GURPS Super Temps\|the same name]], which approaches the "super-powered temp agency" from a somewhat different angle. {{tropelist}} ~~=== This comic contains examples of: ===~~ * [[Catch Phrase]]: "It's not cute, ~~its~~it's EVIL!"▼ ▲* [[Catch Phrase]]: "It's not cute, its EVIL!" * [[Catgirl]]: Jenny the Kat, obviously. * [[Chest Insignia]]: Skull Girl has a pair of...erm Chest Insignias conveniently positioned. Line 25: * [[Green Eyes]]: Played straight with Psychadelchick, from Hawaii and Jenny the Kat. * [[The Khan]]: One that's actually a ''place''. {{quote\| '''"SASKATOOOOOOON!"'''}} * [[The Load]]: Subverted and played straight by Jenny the Kat. She's vain, arrogant and considers herself far more competent than she is but she has also can be underhandedly cunning and hits hard (which is actually a ''problem'' since as a hero, she's not supposed to hurt anyone.) * [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Skull Girl, while one the job. * [[Must Have Caffeine]]: Skiv, and the moment he doesn't he apparently drops unconscious. * [[One -Man Army]]: That is Skully in a nutshell. Her powers allow her to decimate any threat so well that she has to hold herself back. If she went off the deep-end at any point, mass destruction and chaos would ensue! (Possibly also an example of [[I Am Not Left -Handed]] or [[Willfully Weak]].) ** [[Word of God]]: This is true of many professional supers. Mr. Evil, High Voltage, Hydromancer and even Iron Pants are all capable of mass destruction. * [[Punch Clock Villain]]: All of them. Ironically, the 'villain' team tends to cooperate better as a team than the heroes do. Line 45: [[Category:Drunk Duck]] [[Category:Super Temps]] [[Category:~~Webcomic~~Web Comics]]
