| Legion of Net.Heroes | comment |
A Super Hero-parody, Internet-parody creative writing Shared Universe.In April of 1992, during a discussion on the Usenet newsgroup rec.arts.comics.misc, one poster declared himself "Spelling Boy". Another suggested that they form a Legion of Net.Heroes (in imitation of DC's Legion of Super-Heroes), and others piled in, making up silly superhero names for themselves. Eventually, one declared himself as the villainous "Doctor Killfile", leading into the first true LNH story, the Cosmic Plot Device Caper.Thus began a tradition of silliness and No Fourth Wall that continues up to the present day. When the Legion outgrew rec.arts.comics (and spinoff rec.arts.comics.misc), they moved to alt.comics.lnh, and later, their permanent home, rec.arts.comics.creative (which also hosts other Web Original Shared Universes such as ''Academy of Superheroes, referred to as "imprints"). With thousands of stories, hundreds of series, and dozens of authors in the archive, it touches (and, usually, parodies) every aspect of the Super Hero genre.The Legion is headquartered in the city of Net.ropolis, in no particular state, in the Loonited (or possibly Useneted) States of Ame.rec.a, on the Loonivearth. Well-known members include Cheesecake-Eater Lad, Ultimate Ninja, Sister State-The-Obvious, Multi-Tasking Man, Limp-Asparagus Lad, and Adamant-Authority-on-Everything.rec.arts.comics.creative can be reached through Google Groups here, with a nice graphical interface (but no posting capability) at Wil's Ego, or through your local Usenet provider. The LNH Archive is here, and the LNH Wiki is here. As well, there's a Tumblr that regularly reposts older stories with commentary and added graphics here.To coincide with the new 52 and the LNH's 20th anniversary, a new Alternate Continuity/Ultimate Universe called LNH20 is currently being drawn up. Stay tuned... | |

No Fourth Wall | |
| Legion of Net.Heroes / int_3b4f620a | comment |
No Fourth Wall: Not only are most characters aware of the Writers, this is built right into the cosmology; the Looniverse needs Drama to survive, while the Writers naturally produce excess Drama, thus creating a symbiotic relationship. | |

| Legion of Net.Heroes / int_3e11c4b0 | comment |
Under New Management: The Infinite Leadership Crisis. Ultimate Ninja has to quit due to stress, and whenever a new successor is chosen they vanish at midnight. Just about every other Legionnaire (as well as the receptionists and members of both the LNHQ's resident species of birds) gets a turn leading the team. | |
