'''-MSPAFA description for ''Superego''''' }}
''[[Superego]]'' is another [[MS Paint Adventures|MSPA]] Fan Adventure by [[Tropers/Dr Vox|Jovian]], who's also the creator of ''[[Godquest]]''. Ten individuals, each designated by a [[You Are Number Six|numeral]] and a [[Color Coded for Your Convenience|color]], are trapped in a hospital and must work together to get out. But what surprises does the building have in store for them? And what deep, dark secrets lay within their minds?
Not to be confused with [[The Superego]], the former name of a trope about logical, calculated men.

* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: {{spoiler|For a period of time beginning on February 11, 2012, Percy's shadow had gotten its hands on the Info Database that Percy was so meticulously keeping up-to-date and pretty much trashed it. At first, it was simply a black-out of the information (which copy-pasting into a text editor could easily undo), but then his edits started getting...nightmarish.}}

* [[Punch-Punch-Punch Uh-Oh]]: Rick lands a hell of a beatdown on Louis {{spoiler|to avenge his graduation invitation}}, but the most that he suffers is a slight nosebleed. Louis then does a big right jab on the coach's face, knocking off his glasses in the process. Even {{spoiler|Rick's inner demon}} knew this right from the start.
Line 67 ⟶ 68:
* [[Shout-Out]]: The fact that all of the characters trapped in the hospital have numbers on their hands is very reminiscent of ''[[Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors|Nine Hours Nine Persons Nine Doors]]''.
