'''''League Of{{sic}} Super Redundant Heroes''''' is a web comic about a household of ineffective super heroes (and Keith). How ineffective? Not only are the "Super Girl Cub Scouts" more effective than they are, the ''regular'' Girl Cub Scouts are more effective than they are. That doesn't stop them from being effective once in a blue moon, though. |

League Of [sic] Super Redundant Heroes is a web comic about a household of ineffective super heroes (and Keith). How ineffective? Not only are the "Super Girl Cub Scouts" more effective than they are, the regular Girl Cub Scouts are more effective than they are. That doesn't stop them from being effective once in a blue moon, though.
In their own words: "League Of Super Redundant Heroes is a stupid comic made by even stupider people. Nonetheless, we hope you enjoy this web comic and return frequently as we update with new strips and try and progress from stupid to less stupid."
This strip has a cast of thousands... er, dozens. Important recurring characters include:
- Lazer Pony (a.k.a. Troy Popcorn) - a blind guy with laser eyes and below average intelligence.
- Good Girl - A good helpful Christian girl, a beacon of sweetness and light, until her Battery of Virtue (halo power) runs out. Then she's kind of mean. (With good reason.)
- Bad Good Girl - Good Girl was split into two people around strip 666. After combining their halos into one for a power-up, they take turns
wearingsticking each other with the halo. - Buckaress (a.k.a. Eva) - former spy and roommate.
- Alex - Buckaress's girlfriend. No powers, but good with gadgets.
- Keith - Some guy they live with.
- Gyrognome - the landlord, fear his tiny powerful fists.
- Mary Sue - yes, that Mary Sue, with all the useful powers. For some reason, Lazer Pony's girlfriend.
- Cat-a-pult - Super villain (Attempting anyway) with the power to levitate cats. Any cats, including cougars. Pals with Lazer Pony, not that either lets his respective team find out.
- Distracterella - Super villaness with the power of distraction. Got her power from a sexy meteor.
- Bolfman_234 (a.k.a. Viktor Bolf) - Enforcer of Rule 34
- The Evil Savant (a.k.a. Edwin Porkington) - A mentally disabled evil mastermind
- Josie - Attended the same high school as Eva and Alex. She learned magic because she wanted both her own wonderful life and Buckaress's freedom. Something of an anti-villain.

- Distracted by the Sexy: Distracterella's whole superpower is this.
