A Police Procedural Comic Book with a twist, written by Alan Moore, drawn by Zander Cannon and Gene Ha, and published by America's Best Comics. Top 10 follows the lives of the officers of precinct 10, Top Ten, as they patrol the streets of Neopolis. The twist is that every single man, woman, and child in Neopolis is a costumed "Science Hero" complete with Code Name. Despite the fantastic setting, the Police Procedural premise is played completely straight. Transportation accidents, a Serial Killer targeting prostitutes, and a pervert groping women are all things they deal with. The twist is that instead of car accidents there are teleportation accidents, the Serial Killer is a grotesque space alien shapeshifting ex-porn star and the prostitutes include Immune Girl whose power is that she can't get AIDS or S.T.O.R.M.S. (a mutagenic form of VD), while the pervert groping women is a shapeshifter who just shifts into the form of a chair.There was a twelve issue series published in 1999-2000, plus a Spin-Off, Smax, published in 2003, and a prequel, The Forty-Niners, published in 2005, all written by Alan Moore. Also in 2005, another five-issue series set five years later was published - written by Paul Di Filippo and drawn by Jerry Ordway - which pretty much nobody liked, as well as "Season Two", another five-issue series written by Zander Cannon with Gene Ha returning on art in 2008, which most people did. While 2005's Beyond the Furthest Precinct was an Anvilicious Take That! towards the Bush administration, Season Two was much more faithful to the original series and avoided the pitfalls of Beyond... by completely ignoring it.Not to be confused with Top Ten List. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
Top 10 (Comic Book) / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Peregrine catches her husband experimenting with "crossover dressing", or dressing up as a different science hero than yourself. Smax is very embarrassed about his homeland, a medieval fantasy world. Going there is framed like going to a backwater area that's so rural there's no electricity (because electricity literally doesn't work there), no one has any knowledge of basic sciences like physics, and they practice stereotypically hick customs like Brother–Sister Incest. Smax having a past of being a dragonslayer is comparable to him being a bounty hunter, with him having to go through paperwork for authorizationon his quests. | |

Captain Ersatz | |
Top 10 (Comic Book) / int_25b5600 | comment |
Captain Ersatz and Expy: Listing the sheer number of these in Top 10 might cause the wiki to crash... Funnily enough, none of the main characters are obvious Ersatzen of comic book heroes besides Jetman, who is based on WWII boy aviators Airboy and Hop Harrigan. A number of the characters are Expies of the original regular characters in Hill Street Blues: Captain Traynor is Captain Furillo Sgt. Kemlo Caesar is Sgt. Esterhaus King Peacock is Neal Washington Duane Bodine is Mick Belker Bill Bailey is Howard Hunter Irma Geddon and Girl One are Andy Renko and Bobby Hill after a Gender Flip Ernesto Gograh is Jesus Martinez The Libra killer's name and M.O. are based on the Scorpio killer from Dirty Harry, in turn based on the Real Life Zodiac. Professor Gunter Gromolko is based on Dr. Thaddeus Sivana from Shazam!, down to a unique Evil Laugh. Toybox's dad is Colonel/Major Lilliput, based on General Jumbo from The Beano. M'rglla Qualtz, the Vigilante From Venus, is a Gender Flipped and villainous version of the Martian Manhunter. The Seven Sentinels and their Kid Sidekicks the Young Sentinels are very closely based on the Silver Age Justice League of America and Teen Titans, with a very disturbing twist. Atoman (Craig Wallace): Superman The Hound (Lawrence Lomax): Batman Sun Woman (Delia Spyros): Wonder Woman Kingfisher (Perry Somerville): Hawkman Sceptre (James Nile): Green Lantern Black Boomerang (Gilbert Marchioness): Green Arrow Davy Jones: Aquaman Sizzler (Fields): Flash In The Forty-Niners, the precinct captain is a humanoid alien who came to Earth after his home planet was destroyed, dresses like a Golden Age Kryptonian, and disguises himself for a stake-out in a blue suit and glasses. | |

Notably, he is not anthropomorphized; he wears a rig to appear humanoid (and get the advantage of hands), but he's physically a normal dog outside of it. A few other uplifted animals appear through the series; one criminal defense attorney is an uplifted shark. | |

Top 10 (Comic Book) / int_3e06b5c7 | comment |
Your Vampires Suck: Hungarian vampires are analogous to Sicilian mobsters. The younger vampires laugh at the older "widow's peak Vlads" for their horror-movie behavior and dress style, much as the Real Life "Mustache Petes" were derided and ousted by younger and less honor-bound mobsters. It's then subverted when all the vampires turn out to have the usual weaknesses of the pop-culture versions. | |

Morton's Fork: Irma tears into Joe Pi for "not caring enough" to attend Irma's previous partner's funeral. Joe apologizes, but points out that doing so would probably leave people upset that a robot was "faking emotions". Irma apologizes to Joe for being a jerk, and recognizes that there was no way for him to win that one. | |

You Are a Credit to Your Race: In the Precinct One world, black people are called Nubians, or "Nubies", and are second-class citizens, as King Peacock finds out. After Commisioner Ultima gets him thrown into a series of Gladiator battles, he is often introduced with this description. Hilariously, the description used to introduce his robotic opponent is "a credit to his manufacturers". | |

Three Laws-Compliant: Joe Pi mentions "Asimov's Laws" at one point, but in context these appear to be statutory laws rather than inherent restraints; after confirming that Neopolis, unlike his home town of Turingville, has no such laws on its books, Joe demonstrates that he's quite capable of harming humans if he judges it necessary in the line of duty. | |

Innocent Fanservice Girl | |
Top 10 (Comic Book) / int_54321e11 | comment |
Innocent Fanservice Girl / Shameless Fanservice Girl: Subverted with Girl One, who is naked at all times with the excuse that her shifting skin pigments mean she doesn't technically have to wear clothes — but she subverts the trope by being quite aware of the nudity taboo, but engineered by her creators to have an aversion to wearing clothing. When she finds out Hyperdog doesn't see color and can see through her "clothes", she decks him for not warning her. Jennifer from Beyond also counts, as (quite literal) green skinned mermaid, she wears nothing more than Godiva Hair (and, technically, a fishbowl installed on a segway). Later versions of the Girl series have the same genetically enforced nudity compulsion, but better or worse luck hiding it, gaining acceptance, etc. Girl 54 is readily accepted back in the force and retains the same quirks; Girl Two's nudity was quickly picked up on by the public at large — she was harassed by criminals until she quit the force; an unnamed Girl was running around with the villains during one arc, her skin solid black except for a star pattern — hiding nothing. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
Top 10 (Comic Book) / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: Mainly against robots (who prefer to be called Ferro-Americans, and don't like being called "clickers"). In The Forty-Niners, there's a robot ghetto neighborhood, and one of the characters is a robot passing as human by telling people his exoskeleton is Powered Armor. Precognitives have very stringent restrictions on where they can work, so Irma's husband Ron spends most of his appearances job-hunting. There doesn't seem to be a very high public opinion of vampires, either. They would like you to think that this is unreasoning prejudice against your average innocent "Hungarian American with an inherited medical condition", but if there is such a thing as an innocent vampire he or she hasn't appeared yet. On Grand Central, an alternate Earth where the Roman Empire never fell, King Peacock is looked down upon for his skin color, since there "nubians" are mostly slaves. | |

Smax is very embarrassed about his homeland, a medieval fantasy world.

Smax having a past of being a dragonslayer is comparable to him being a bounty hunter, with him having to go through paperwork for authorizationon his quests. | |

Psycho Serum: The recreational drugs of Neopolis are all some kind of Psycho Serum: Amazo Pills grant various temporary superpowers. Darkshots are a drug for robots which allows them to become "one with the multiverse". Goose Juice (mongoose blood) grants temporary Superspeed. The name is a Shout-Out to the Whizzer, a Golden Age speedster with a decidedly silly origin story. Hyperdrene causes hallucinations of imps and pixies so vivid they can be seen by others and can survive for awhile even after the user is dead. | |

Reluctant Fanservice Girl: Girl One. It's revealed in chapter 2 that she's actually been naked the whole time, which she hides with her color-shifting skin. She even defends this (in private, to her female partner) by saying she's more comfortable in the nude rather than wearing clothes. Then it's revealed that her compulsive nudity was an engineered compulsion her creators forced on her, leaving her stuck using her skin trick to hide this fact, and when she realizes her male boss was color blind, she freaked out, revealing she was not really ok with people knowing about it. | |

Symbol Swearing | |
Top 10 (Comic Book) / int_95ef5b0d | comment |
Symbol Swearing: This is one of the few times where this trope works better than actually cursing. The otherwise calm and peaceful Jetman telling Smax to "Break her %$#@ing neck, son" after Ultima kills Girl One. Issue #8 features a conversation between two characters who are dying following a traffic accident (which was neither of their faults). Kapela is a phlegmatic alien who believes that everything that happens forms part of the Great Game; Mr Nebula is an ordinary joe who is taking the whole thing much less calmly. At one point, Mr Nebula bursts out into a spate of symbol swearing, the actual meaning of which is immediately lampshaded: In the sequence set in the Godz bar, the foul-mouthed Thunor swears with symbols from archaic alphabets. In The Forty-Niners, there's a gangster who's very fond of the word "£$%&". | |

Dead Partner: Two officers at Precinct 10 take on new partners after a fellow officer died in the line of duty. Smax lost Stochastic Fats shortly before the series begins, leaving him to be paired with newcomer Toybox. Smax isn't the friendliest person to begin with, making for a very rough beginning to the partnership. Irma Geddon's partner Girl One died during the takedown of Commissioner Maxima, so she gets paired with Joe Pi, a robotic officer transferred in from another precinct. Irma was very close to her old partner, who was practically an Honorary Aunt to her kids, and treats Joe very coldly for a time. | |

Robyn proposes they simply give Ultima what she wants to make her stop, figuring she'll either calm down enough for them to detain her or she'll overdose. While Smax is still fighting Ultima, Robyn has one of her drones inject the Xenite into the back of her head. All of it. This plays out badly for Ultima and Robyn. Ultima immediately realizes she's been given too much and foams at the mouth knowing she's about to die. With her last breath she lets out an energy blast that would've killed Robyn had Smax not intervened. It does leave Robyn badly injured and hospitalized for the rest of the first series. | |

Hypocritical Humor: Shock-Headed Peter is strongly bigoted against robots and is eventually kicked off the force for an unsolicited assault on Joe Pi; he starts dating the android Girl Two shortly thereafter. In The Forty-Niners, a gangster shaking down Scowling Joe's Bar responds to the arrival of the newly-formed police force with the question "Who the £$%& are you?", and Steelgauntlet admonishes him for cussing when there are ladies present. "Yeah, you tell 'em! You tell 'em they don't £$%& with Joe!" says one of the ladies in question. | |

Subverted with Girl One, who is naked at all times with the excuse that her shifting skin pigments mean she doesn't technically have to wear clothes — but she subverts the trope by being quite aware of the nudity taboo, but engineered by her creators to have an aversion to wearing clothing. When she finds out Hyperdog doesn't see color and can see through her "clothes", she decks him for not warning her. | |

He was Wulf's sidekick, they started dating when Traynor was sixteen and thus still underage, and they have been Happily Married for decades now. He starts wondering if he has been living in A Match Made in Stockholm all this time, or, worse, that he has denied a large group of people the same kind of loving relationship he is in by labeling his as alright, but theirs as wrong, illegal and sick. | |

Razor Wire: The Libra Killer had atom-slicing monomolecular strands coming out of her body, described by one would-be victim as "Purple candyfloss... coming out of the drain". Even though Jackie remains unharmed so long as she's intangible she can still feel it slicing through her photons. | |

Colorblind Confusion | |

Color Blind Confusion: Hyperdog eventually reveals that he's color blind, which means that he's been able to see through the patterns on the skin of his partner Girl One (who was created by a couple of horny fanboys so she has to be naked all the time but does have a nudity taboo and uses the patterns to give her some modesty) and when she finds out he's been effectively seeing her naked this whole time she decks him. He tells her he's not attracted to human women as a way to try and defuse the situation, though we later learn he was lying about this when he enters a relationship with one. | |
