''The Crossoverlord'' is a [[Superhero]] action comic that, as the name might imply, is a crossover among a number of superhero webcomics, starring [[Lightbringer]], [[Mechagical Girl Lisa ANTA.N.T.|ANT]], [[MindmistressMind Mistress]], [[Dasien (Webcomic)|Dasien]] and [[Indefensible Positions|Dead Debbie]]. In 2009, [[The Green Avenger]] and [[Point Guardian|Ultra]] were added to the ranks, in March and October, respectively. This comic is written as a collaboration among the authors of the source webcomics.
 
In the story, a being called The Crossoverseer (a [[Guardian of the Multiverse]]) gathers heroes from various universes (read: webcomics) to oppose The Smiling Man (the Crossoverlord of the title) a villain who is likewise gathering villains to help with his plans against the guardian. The main characters are actually only one of many such teams, though they get to deal with the Smiling Man directly. At first, the heroes must learn to get along with each other, but later they discover the chilling truth about Smiling Man's actions.
 
The comic has concluded, but a sequel titled ''[[Crossoverkill (Webcomic)|Crossoverkill]]'' has commenced with a new team of heroes, although Mindmistress is reprising. [[Energize]], [[Sparkling Generation Valkyrie Yuuki|Yuuki]], [[Essay Bee Comics Presents Fusion|Fusion]], Captain Perfect (from [[Bad Guy High]]), [[Majestistic Knight|Majestic Knight]] and Hoodoo (from [[Magellan]]) are the other confirmed members.
{{tropelist}}
 
Line 15:
* [[The Cape]]: Lightbringer probably qualifies.
* [[The Chessmaster]]: Mindmistress, though certainly good at it in her own comic, is overshadowed here by the Smiling Man.
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Both times the heroes fought the Smiling Man's named [[Five-Bad Band]]. {{spoiler|First time it was the villains over the heroes. Second time however, thanks to [[MindmistressMind Mistress]] changing who fought who, it was the other way around.}}
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Mindmistress.
* [[The Ditz]]: ANT.
Line 37:
* [[Hot Amazon]]: Dasien
* [[I Have Many Names]]: Crossoverseer, whom Dasien ([[Sarcasm Mode|in a show of maturity]]) chooses to call "Ringo".
* [[In the Name of Thethe Moon]]: ANT is prone to this sort of speech.
* [[Intercontinuity Crossover]]: Various characters from various realities equals this special brand of crossover.
* [[Jumped At the Call]]: ANT jumped so hard, she nearly broke her neck.
Line 44:
* [[Love Makes You Evil]]: And how.
* [[Luckily, My Powers Will Protect Me]]: A brief and recent scene wherein the Five Man Band stomps a bunch of giant robots while explaining their powers to the rest of their team.
* [[Mary Sue]]: [[MindmistressMind Mistress]] comes across as one for being condescending to the other heroes (and later getting pissed at Lightbringer when he accuses her of playing God with people's lives). She gets better by the end... maybe.
* [[MST]]: Our Heroes end up MSTing the villain's [[Start of Darkness]].
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Smiling Man did many terrible things. However, for some people the moment he crossed it was when {{spoiler|it's revealed that he killed the alternate universe counterparts of the heroes, using his own counterparts that died in the process and buried them all together in one graveyard in his home dimension}}.
Line 50:
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: The smiling man upon reading his dead wifes journal
* [[Nigh Invulnerable]]: Uber-Red definitely counts. Some of the others to lesser degrees, too.
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: The Sisters of the Twilight are firmly established as such in the background information (and [[MindmistressMind Mistress|the original comic]]).
** Smiling Man also fits, maybe ever more than Sisters.
* [[Not Now, Kiddo]]: Mindmistress not listening to Ultra.
* [[Powered Armor]]: Both Mindmistress and A.N.T.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Two covers that are parodying the well-known cover of ''[[Crisis Onon Infinite Earths]]'' #4
* [[Slasher Smile]]: They don't call him the Smiling Man for nothing...
* [[Something Else Also Rises]]: "Have a seat, ''[http://www.drunkduck.com/Crossoverlord/index.php?p=537591 lighthouse]''."
Line 60:
* [[Teeth-Clenched Teamwork]]: The heroes' styles do not necessarily mesh too well.
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Mindmistress and Dasien have been sniping entertainingly at each other since they were introduced.
* [[Wide -Eyed Idealist]]: ANT.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: {{spoiler|Lightbringer's reaction when he found out about Mindmistress' [[Shoot the Dog]] moment.}}
