Of course, Weasel Boy isn't the only hero in Supermegatopia. Often called "The [[City of Heroes]] of Webcomics", there are literally dozens of heroes and villains running around at any given time, often [[Affectionate Parody|affectionate parodies]] of existing characters. Some notable entries amongst the "spandex rats":
* Ferret Man: Supermegatopia's first vigilante, missing for the past three years. Combination [[Expy]] of [[Batman]] and [[The Punisher]]. Take a second for [[Oh Crap|the implications of that to sink in]].
* Avatar: An archaeologist who stumbled onto an [[Sapient Ship|ancient sentient alien spaceship]] shaped like a turtle. Unfortunately, in her rush to take advantage of the Turtle Ship's amazing powers, she forgot the medication for her multiple personality disorder, and now flits between believing she's various goddesses. While the Turtle Ship can provide the power she needs to play Zeus or whatever, it has limits (and is sane), turning her into a mostly [[Harmless Villain]].
* Buxom Gal: Given strange energy powers by aliens (who were trying to augment her breasts), Buxom Gal can fly, shoot beams of energy, and has super strength... But if she doesn't use her powers, her breasts grow to absurd sizes. Recently split into 3 clones based on hair color, the red head is evil and the black-haired one is an [[Anti-Hero]]. There is also the younger (but ''still'' well-endowed) Buxom Girl and the cojoined Buxom Twins, who were apparently part of a rash of Buxom Gal clones created by SMT's [[Mad Scientist]] population. A rather [[Captain Ersatz|obvious parody]] of [[Power Girl]], down to the costume design.
Line 18:
* Distraction Damsel: a.k.a.: [http://www.mistythemouse.com/ Misty], a character from another furry webcomic. Gets her name and powers from... well... ''[[Gag Boobs|damn...]]''
** Wait, that didn't come out right. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95SYdjRVCR0 Craig, Smokey?]
* Captain Mayfly: One of the smallest, but most dedicated superhero legacies in the city. Captain Mayfly is, well, a ''[[wikipedia:Mayfly|Mayfly]]'', which means [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Exactly what you think it does]]. To their credit, however, the good Captains have kept this legacy unbroken for ''years''. The [[Legacy Character]] taken to the extreme.
* The All-Stripper Squadron: A group of superheroes who decided to take up exotic dancing. Not really much else we can add to that.
* Mad Dr. Nesbit: Supermegatopia's ''other'' resident [[Mad Scientist]]. Still has her job at Supermegatopia Labs because, unlike other Mad Docs we could name, she has no interest in ruling the world--just in donuts and a bit of sadism now and again. You're just in for a world of pain if you ever cross her. Last we saw her, she was completely occupied by the captured Mongoose Guy, and was fitting him for a saddle...
Line 28:
Crushed has even spawned its [http://www.rpg.net/news+reviews/reviews/rev_5247.html own d20 sourcebook,] allowing DMs to add ''The Temple of Infinite Lives'' to their own games. No, really.
Supermegatopia <s>also hosts</s> hosted two other sub-comics, ''They Might be Giant Robots'', which parodies the ''[[Transformers]]'' (and sometimes ''[[G.I. Joe]]''), and ''By Way of Booty Bay'' which has it's fun in the ''[[World of Warcraft]]''.
The site has recently undergone a revamp, and has such lost a great deal of its art. Pity.
Luckily, someone has put up the main "Weasel Boy" storyline [https://web.archive.org/web/20170714162559/http://supermegatopia.wikispaces.com/Weasel+Boy+
----
{{tropelist}}
* [[Author Appeal]]: [[Most Common Superpower]], [[Big Beautiful Woman|Big Beautiful Women]] and tan lines, to name a few.
* [[Author Avatar]]: The Brothers appear as themselves from time to time, usually as their in-world furry counterparts, though Brian & Stu have appeared as themselves a few times. In turn, Mad Dr. Nesbit is based on the original editor for the comic, and The Lindsey-Dillo was a friend of The Brothers.
* [[Art Evolution]]: Many of the earliest comics from The Brothers were coarse, oddly inked, and difficult to follow. By the time they started ''Weasel Boy'' and ''Crushed'', the artwork had improved, and all one needs to do is read through the former from start to (current) end to see the progress.
* [[Bomb-Throwing Anarchists]]: Worse, ''atomic bomb dropping anarchists''. Where the ''hell'' did an anarchist even ''get'' an atomic bomb?
* [[Brain In a Jar]]: Jim, Dr. Nesbitt's assistant. She adds fish sometimes, as a punishment for [[You Have Failed Me...|screwing up]], or just making too many smart remarks.
* [[Canon Immigrant]]: Several fanart characters and one-shot jokes were merged into official canon later.
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: Too many to count, essentially every major Superhero in Marvel and DC comics (and a few minor ones) has one.
Line 48 ⟶ 47:
* [[Cliff Hanger]] /LeftHanging/ [[Cut Short]]: As of April 2010, ''Weasel Boy'' has not been updated since "Secret Destroyers" in 2003, despite a plug for the next chapter "Dawn Of The Doomed". As Stu, the writer for the Supermegatopia comics, no longer works on the franchise, it's likely that it'll never be picked up again. The other half of The Brothers, Brian, focuses on one-off artwork and the ''Crushed'' franchise (which has moved to mostly print comics) these days. This means that a ''huge'' number of plot threads going back to the beginnings of the comic are dangling forever more.
** And now it's March 2012; the site was converted to a simple gallery in 2011, removing all the comics and artwork. There hasn't been an installment of ''Crushed'' since Issue #2 of the Angry Viking Press comic in 2009, ''By Way of Booty Bay'' and ''They Might Be Giant Robots'' disappeared along with ''Crushed'' and ''Supermegatopia'' itself; Brian took significant time away in 2011 to recover from illness, move, and get married, greatly reducing his output.
* [[Cloning Blues]]: Buxom Gal let her DNA get into the hands of ''a lot'' of people who've used it and abused it. Now there's dozens of near-clones of her running around--[[Conjoined Twins]] The Buxom Twins, Loli Buxom Girl, [[Evil Knockoff]] Buxom Gal Red, [[Heroic Mime]] Buxom Gal Dark (who's since [[Fusion Dance|merged with Buxom Gal]] to become Buxom Gal Fusion), [[Everything's Better with Monkeys|Buxom Gal-rilla]], [[Gender Bender|Buxom Guy]], [[Clothes Make the Superman|Buxom Gal Metal]], [[Intercontinuity Crossover]] Buxom Elephant Girl from ''Meshworld'', Gorkorian Girl from an [[Alternate Universe|alternate dimension]], [[Canon Immigrant]] Buxom Knaw, even an army of [[Empty Shell]] versions called The Buxom Skippies. Together, they form [https://web.archive.org/web/20100205201713/http://supermegatopia.com/gallery/gallery.php?thisLink=buxomlegion.jpg The Buxom Legion].
* [[Clothing Damage]]: Played Straight, but with an emphasis on the female characters and robots.
* [[Creator Breakdown]]: Not a severe example, although if you listen to the forums, the original brothers are no longer on speaking terms. This may tie into the archive purge the website recently went through. At least one brother is still doing pinup art (without any of the Supermegatopia IP) on [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/drakefenwick/ Fur Affinity] (NSFW).
Line 58 ⟶ 57:
* [[I Just Want to Be Normal]]: When Buxom Gal first gets her powers, she complains loudly about how she's going to have to give up her job, how she doesn't want to have to find a costume, etc etc.
* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]]: Double Subverted (That is to say, subverted on both counts, not a [[Double Subversion]]) with Buck Naked -- he's NOT innocent and male, to boot.
* [[Intercontinuity Crossover]]: Of sorts. Near the end of ''SMT: Deviations'', a "Master Fjord" is given a five mile long spacecraft, which he claims he can pilot. Inevitably, he plows through a moon and crashes the vessel clean into a planet, leaving with him with "a world to myself, five miles of alien technology" and a [[Dungeons
* [[Killer Rabbit]]: A number of characters are a lot more dangerous than they appear, including Zippy the Sloth and the aforementioned Hell Kitty.
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: '''And How!''' So many that a large number have one appearance, and some have never showed up at all.
* [[Love Dodecahedron]]: Weasel Boy is in love with Tiger Lass. Tiger Lass is in love with Mighty Yak. Greasy Monkey is in love with Weasel Boy, even though Delilah already has a claim on him. Gretchen Vayne fancies Delilah quite a bit. [[Oblivious to Love|Mighty Yak really likes cheese]].
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Mad Dr. Nesbit, along with most of the staff of Supermegatopia Labs in various degrees, where tourists are often used [[For Science!|for questionable purposes]].
* [[Missed the Call]]: [
* [[Most Common Superpower]]: The patron saint of this trope. Lampshaded in Buxom Gal -- her breasts really '''are''' a superpower!
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: '''AND HOW!''' Buxom Gal may be the biggest example of this, her powers are directly related to her breast size, though others are more blunt about it, like Topless Lass from The All-Stripper Squadron.
Line 73 ⟶ 72:
* [[Stealth Pun]]: [[wikipedia:Ghoti|Dr. Ghoti's name.]]
* [[Stripperiffic]]: There's even a superhero group dedicated to Stripperiffic outfits -- The All-Stripper Squadron, a group of superheroes and superheroines who gave up superheroing to become exotic dancers, because it's safer.
* [[Superpower Meltdown]]: Just about any time a villain is beaten, their mecha/powers/magic green rock will explode, just big enough to cause property damage and wreck the clothing of any nearby women.
* [[They Killed Kenny]]: Crushed and company.
* [[Total Party Kill]]: Has happened to Crushed and company too many times to count.
