The Alternates is a comic book miniseries by Patton Oswalt, Jordan Blum, Tim Seeley, and Scott Hepburn. It is set in the same universe as Oswalt and Blum's previous miniseries, Minor Threats, and published by Dark Horse Comics.Years ago, a group of low-level metahumans find their way to The Ledge, an alternate universe in which they enjoyed vastly expanded powers. When a crisis came to The Ledge, they joined forces as the Alternates in order to repel it and protect the real world, at the cost of being stuck in the mundane world. Now they struggle to make meaning of their lives in a world where they're nobodies. When one of their own, the Divider, is found dead in his apartment after trying to access The Ledge again, they team up once again to figure out what happened to him. | |

Insufferable Genius | |
| The Alternates (Comic Book) / int_3126c34a | comment |
Insufferable Genius: Kid Curious is a supragenius who regularly tells the other Alternates that they are so far below him in intellect that they might as well be another species and that the only reason he hasn't killed them all yet is because then there would be no more meetings and he'd have nothing to do. | |

All Your Powers Combined | |
| The Alternates (Comic Book) / int_5288f02 | comment |
All Your Powers Combined: Multi-Monster can call up the physical attributes of any monster from fiction, while Persona can summon the skills of any of her past lives, which include Allen Pinkerton, a pharaoh, a samurai, and... an Appalachian clog dancer (which actually does come in handy at one point.) | |

Even the Girls Want Her | |
| The Alternates (Comic Book) / int_56691220 | comment |
Even the Girls Want Her: In the second issue, Mary uses her powers to disguise herself as a hot goth so that she can hang out with Crab Louie's daughter Alyse and her supposed boyfriend, knowing that they've been buying prestige to try and give themselves powers. Her disguise works a little too well; it turns out that Alyse is bisexual and has a thing for Morticia Addams. | |

The Reveal | |
| The Alternates (Comic Book) / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
The Reveal: The Alternates got their team name not because they're C-List Fodder, but because they're alternate-reality versions of a team that was sent into the Ledge. | |

Screw Yourself | |
| The Alternates (Comic Book) / int_9a0870ae | comment |
Screw Yourself: While looking through the Divider's journals to try and find a hint about where he got access to prestige, Mary discovers that he was so bored with his mundane life that he started keeping an exhaustive record of every possible way that he could use his powers to literally go fuck himself. She's so appalled that she almost wishes she could kill him herself just for making her read it. | |

| The Alternates (Comic Book) / int_e7b0229a | comment |
Laser-Guided Amnesia: In the second issue, Kid Curious manages to come up with a weaponized version of Alzheimer's disease, just for shits and giggles. He ends up using it to wipe the memory of a drug dealer after the Alternates interrogate him, even though he insists that he'd already erased his own memories of how to create the weapon. | |

Mundane Utility | |
| The Alternates (Comic Book) / int_eff83d77 | comment |
Mundane Utility: Multi-Monster has the ability to call upon the physical traits of any monster from literature or popular culture. In the second issue, she borrows the face and torso of one of the Brides of Dracula to turn herself into a hot goth. Persona can call up the skills of any of her past lives. At one point, she summons up the skills of an Appalachian clog dancer so that she blend in at a dance club. | |
