Agent M was piloting her flight.thingy on approach to LNH HQ in
Netropolis. She was bringing her espionage Squad back home after they
had retrieved the Spoon of Destiny from a museum in Italy. (See LNH20
Comics Presents #10.)
"Okay, everybody," she said. "Seat belts on. We're on approach to
LNH HQ and I can see that the weather is pretty bad! There's a big
storm cloud right in front of us!"
"That's no storm cloud," Configuration Man said. "That's
Netropolis."
"It's can't be..." But it was. "Oh my God! Netropolis is floating
in the air!"

LNH20 Comics Presents #12: "Chaos Reigns" Chapter 12 of a chaotic add-on cascade (though probably something more like 20 if you count all the crossovers in other series) by Adrian J. McClure

Lawrence Herrera, age 45, single, recently laid off from his job as department store manager, was the first to notice it. He was leaving the city to visit his cousin, who thought she could set him up with a new job. He didn't want to move out of Netropolis, but he had to admit there were times when living here was a little overwhelming. The Netropolis economy was starting to go up considerably now that their local superhero team was becoming world-famous, but this was a double- edged sword: the more famous the LNH was, the greater caliber of villains it attracted. Lawrence could attest to this. The store he'd ...

Chapter 11 of a chaotic add-on cascade
by Martin Phipps

The Recovery Man returned to the office that housed Ultravac, the
villainous supercomputer that controlled the terrorist group WHATEVER
- the World Headquarters for Anarchy, Terrorism, Evil, Vengeance,
Extermination and Retribution. Once again it was Ultravac's assistant/
tickertape reader/annuniator who spoke for the computer.
"Ah. I see you have returned. Do you have the spoon?"
"Yes, I do."
"Then give it to me!"
"I can't. Not just yet."
"Why not?"

LNH20 Comics Presents #10 The Spoon of Destiny Saga Part 10: "Switch Play" Chapter 10 of a chaotic add-on cascade By Andrew Perron ----

Far from the LNHQ's sub-basements, in a very different set of labyrinthine catacombs, deep beneath the Vatican...

And "labyrinthine" was no exaggeration, thought Killswitch. The Espionage Squad had already had to dodge two minotaurs and a gelatinous cube, as well as solve a sliding block puzzle.

Configuration Man, the squad's technology expert, nudged him. "Hey, Killswitch. I'm surprised you didn't, ah, object to all the sneakin' ...

It was almost midnight at the waterfront district; the rain was
pouring down and the sky was dismal and starless. Brian was not having
a good day. He'd been sent out here on the orders of someone he didn't
know and didn't trust. But there was no other choice. He just hoped
whoever it was would show up before the pizza got cold.

Lindsey Gensym rushed into the Netropolitan Museum of History and
stopped short.

The sunlight through the windows outside seemed... odd, flat...
*slow*. There stood three women - one young, one old, one inbetween -
in strange and symbolic outfit. They danced about her, chanting low.

Once again a man entered the air conditioned office that housed
Ultravac, the villainous supercomputer that controlled the terrorist
group WHATEVER - the World Headquarters for Anarchy, Terrorism, Evil,
Vengeance, Extermination and Retribution. Once again it was someone
that Ultravac's assistant/tickertape reader/annuniator had not
encountered before. [as seen in _Generation 2.0_ #3 'The Cat Lady's
Curse'] .oO(At least this one bothered to knock,) she thought.
The man was dressed nattily in a charcoal grey business suit, with
smart shoes and gloves, and carrying a cane. The only parts of his skin
that were left exposed by his suit were his neck and face about his

In the street next to the Netropolitan Museum of History, Lindsey Gensym was watching the LNH battle the Otakaiser, unnoticed as always. That battle had started right in front of her eyes, right after Dr. Mood had surrendered. Of course, she was also in the room when Dr. Mood initially attacked, and she had, as always, wondered whether it was finally time she pitched in to help. Granted, her powers weren't much, but she had them, and she felt she had a duty to use them.

On the other hand she was also a promising musician running her own label and on the last year of her MBA. She had a duty to all those other things, too.

But this time, this time surely it was time to intervene, she thought, as Kid Enthusiastic died again; it didn't look like the LNH ...

The Spoon of Destiny Saga Part 5: "Time and Again"
Chapter 5 of a chaotic add-on cascade
By Adrian J. McClure

***

So now Nerf Girl had faced her first actual net.hero battle. She'd had
to fight for her life once before she was technically a net.hero, but
now she actually had a name and a costume and was a bona fide card-
carrying member of the LNH. Back before she started out she'd hoped
that her first battle would be against a real net.villain, someone who
could make the world tremble. But after facing Agent-M in the Peril
Room, she was glad she had faced an enemy weak enough for her to
survive. She tried not to think of the fact that she'd almost stabbed

A small group of LNH members was walking through a psychedelic landscape, on paths of tentacles and goo and thread and ice and sometimes nothing but light, crossing portals that looked like giant open mouths, cuts ripped into air, whirlpools, floating crystals, balls of light, or even rectangles scrawled in charcoal; walking past floating eyeballs, forests of cobwebs, planet-sized creatures with millions of tentacles, and last month's leftovers forgotten in the back of the fridge.

"This is beyond creepy", said one of the net.heroes.

"We'd get there faster if we could just fly", said, not for the first time, Minority Miss, who was walking first, for the simple reason that she was the one most likely to survive whatever they happened to encounter. ...

LNH20 Comics Presents #1 - A View From The Twisted Library
copyright 2011 by Dave Van Domelen

[Part of the LNH20 Comics Presents #1 Chaotic Add-On - Ed, who missed
this place.]

Acton Lord, fifth to carry the title (although the public knew of only
three, and some suspected all three were the same man kept alive by techno-
mystical means), was tending to his garden when a soft chime sounded in the
back of his mind. He and the Twisted Library had become more intimately
bonded during the years of the Killfile than any previous Acton Lord, and he
no longer needed the ostentations instrumentality his predecessor had used,
and that he himself had required back when he tried conclusions with his
brother in the 1990s.

Kid Enthusiastic shook himself and watched his body land.

[I split this into two parts to keep readers from being crushed beneath a wall of text. The second part goes up tomorrow.]

About 20 years ago, on the now-defunct newsgroup called rec.arts.comics, a bunch of people started making up goofy superhero names for themselves. This spawned an in-joke based roleplay that somehow mutated into a gigantic, complex superhero shared universe that outlasted most actual comics companies founded at the time.

Now, a new era in the history of the Legion of Net.Heroes begins with=85
