The Fantasy Powers League, or FPL for short, began life in 1999 as part of Electric Ferret, currently a site for discussion of crossover battles between entertainment media characters and writing of fiction, both Fan Fiction and Web Original Fiction alike. Electric Ferret itself started in 1997, inspired by the (now-defunct) WWWF Grudge Match, presenting crossover fight fics between pop cultural icons in commentary fic style, which led to the genesis of its own take on pop culture web battles in the form of the Comic Book Universe Battles (CBUB for short), featuring matchups written by the webmaster, the outcome of which can be determined via votes from visitors as the match stays up for a set period of time, and the outcome would be written based on the final vote count.From the Comic Book Universe Battles, a new concept was born, as a group of CBUB regulars expressed their interest in doing similar matchups but using original characters of their own making. It was from there that the Fantasy Powers League came into existence, an interactive website where one creates their original characters and puts them in matchups against other original creations. It's Web Original Fiction, it's Play-by-Post Games... it has elements of both and at the same time it's something more. The original incarnation of the site ran from 1999 to 2009 and from simple X versus Y matchups the FPL site spawned its own in-character universe and continuity which led to much Worldbuilding and the establishment of its own Universe Bible. Then came the year 2009, where the webmaster introduced a massive site revamp for both CBUB and FPL alike, which saw an overhaul of the site interface. With the site revamp also came a Continuity Reboot of the old FPL canon. The Fantasy Powers League forums were closed in late 2013, with the chief reasons being a lack of traffic, and financial burdens and offline commitments on the part of the admin. From here, the path of the Fantasy Powers League concept diverges...Many of the more prominent members immigrated to FreeForums to create a new community hub after Electric Ferret's shutdown, creatively named Magnetic Fox, which naturally included a Spiritual Successor to FPL titled Imagine Nation Chronicles, or INC for short. After a few solid years, however, traffic to Magnetic Fox slowly ground to a halt and the INC universe unfortunately never fully developed, but tropes from INC will be listed here as well for completion's sake. Can be visited here.Meanwhile, forum user S.C. Justice worked on his own Spiritual Successor to the Fantasy Powers League specifically on a site called ''Redux''. Aside from a Creation Myth about the titular God figure named Redux, little about the setting has been expanded so far.In 2020, the Electric Ferret site slyly reopened and the original webmaster Serge (a.k.a. Fox) began officially endorsing Justice's project as an extension of the FPL multiverse, now nicknamed FPL: Redux.Tropes | |

The Worf Effect | |
| Fantasy Powers League (Website) / int_178ca149 | comment |
The Worf Effect: Due to the majority of the voters casting their votes based on writing quality rather than judging a fight based on character powers, trying to come up with an IC justification for say, a beat cop defeating an Eldritch Abomination can sometimes come across as this. OOC-wise, there are also rare occasions where a better-written character loses to a character with a more impressive power set but with a noticeably lower quality in writing. Generally, this trope exists in the FPL under a name coined by the old guard as The Supreme Irony of Khazan. | |

| Fantasy Powers League (Website) / int_18e33968 | comment |
Earth Is the Center of the Universe: Khazan isn't Earth, but one can't help but feel that this trope is nonetheless in effect considering how many of the human characters originated from Earth before landing in the Nexus of All Realities. | |

More Dakka | |
| Fantasy Powers League (Website) / int_2b706ca | comment |
More Dakka: BARE CHESTED THUGS, being the Affectionate Parody of Contra that they are, basically unload unholy amounts of dakka on their opponents as their power set. Joe Big Gunns plays this trope up to eleven, where his Hyperspace Arsenal basically allows him to unleash dakka to the extent of making him a Person of Mass Destruction. And if that's not enough dakka, he even has an option to call in a Kill Sat. | |

The Syndicate: An almost perfect description of one of the four main public teams, which is itself simply called 'The Syndicate'.

| Fantasy Powers League (Website) / int_83535879 | comment |
Tall Poppy Syndrome: Not so much ever since the modern FPL was launched, but back in the far more populous phase of the classic FPL there were often unsuccessful creators who attribute their losing streaks to "elitist conspiracies" on the part of successful veteran creators, accusing them of Moving the Goalposts by forming their own voting cliques to dominate the kill floor. Suffice to say, most of these creators eventually Rage Quit, though a few did stay on and brush up their writing skills to become notable contenders on the kill floor. | |

FanFic | |
| Fantasy Powers League (Website) / int_9d725e12 | comment |
Fan Fic: Character fics set in the FPL IC continuity would be considered this. But considering that the IC continuity is an original setting, it somewhat blurs the line between Fan Fic and Web Original Fiction. Most notable include Apocalypse and War of Drekis, which have in no small ways contributed to the shaping of the site lore as we know it. Orphaned Series: The War of Drekis, possibly one of the longest-running fics set in the (classic) Khazan Continuity churned out its last chapter update on October 6, 2010. With still 27 more chapters (plus side stories) to go, the possibility of ever seeing the story's conclusion at this point is pretty much nil. | |

Flying Brick | |
| Fantasy Powers League (Website) / int_a51b63ed | comment |
Flying Brick: There are a couple in canon, most notably Steel Will who causes sonic booms when he flies and shrugs off artillery shells to the torso. | |

Self-Insert Fic: Several creators on the FPL have created characters that are their self-inserts, with The Coming being the earliest (and most notable) group of self-insert characters to grace the site. | |

Knight Templar | |
| Fantasy Powers League (Website) / int_bbfaa837 | comment |
Knight Templar: The Chronomancer practically embodies this trope to a T, as well as overlapping with Well-Intentioned Extremist and Dark Messiah, fully believing himself to be pursuing the most noble of causes and as such justifies any atrocity he might commit in the name of protecting all of existence. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Fantasy Powers League (Website) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Tons and tons of them, especially amongst the veteran creators. Sentinel Core, Sky Shroud and Omega Dark were expies of G1 Transformers characters Optimus Prime, Starscream and Megatron, respectively. Poe's characters like Babylon Jones, Bunny, and Jordan Kennedy were imported characters from his first webcomic, Exploitation Now. He has similarly imported Sara Amraphael from his second webcomic, Errant Story. Landon Morisato shares the same surname as the main character of Ah! My Goddess, Keiichi. And his earliest known incarnation was in many ways an Expy of Keiichi. Up to and including having a goddess for a Magical Girlfriend. BARE CHESTED THUGS is an Affectionate Parody of Contra, specifically back in the 8-bit days, up to and including being a One-Hit-Point Wonder. Elwin D'larthi, during her tenure as Sailor Archer was basically a homage to Sailor Moon; her power set however, is closer to that of Lina Inverse's though, including the iconic Fireball spell, and having Giga Slave as her Finishing Move. The creator who goes by the user handle Three Reasons has plenty, with characters whose names are a nod to songs or albums, such as Girlfriend in a Coma, Psyence Fiction, Pulmonary Archery and Try Honesty. Even the creator's user handle is a reference to a song by the same name. | |

Mythopoeia | |
| Fantasy Powers League (Website) / int_d780b394 | comment |
Mythopoeia: While on one hand is that All Myths Are True in the classic FPL continuity, a large part of the site's IC lore was also built from scratch over years of participation and contribution by mulitple creators. Also applies to the modern continuity albeit to a lesser extent. All Myths Are True, yes, but Earth as it's being portrayed is generally considered to be Like Reality, Unless Noted. | |

Rage Quit: If you aren't a dedicated writer aiming to improve the quality of your writing, chances are your characters are going to lose. A lot. And back when three losses meant retirement, this would also mean flooding the roster with tons of sub-par creations. Eventually, they either learn from the experts and brush up on their writing skills, or they end up rage quitting. | |
