The Specialists

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

The Specialists is an alternate-history webcomic where the Nazis discovered how to make ubermenschen using magic -- and are starting to do so with science. World War II is still going on in 1946, though the Japanese surrendered after the use of the atomic bomb.

The story revolves around two main characters:

  • Maksim "Max" Finklestein, a young super-smart boy who feels pressured by his father.
  • Hartman Lowe, a Nazi experiment gone wrong who's seeking out the allies to help him.

Starts here.

Tropes used in The Specialists include:

- Mark: Julien wasn't kidding, you really are a brute.

-Hartmann: Smart.
Question Mark: Well I am in the intelligence business.
  • So Proud of You - The butler tells Henry this for himself and his employer, Henry's father. It would help if it were plausible.
    • Played straighter with Max's father.
  • Stock Super Powers
    • Shock and Awe - Dr. Kate Smallwood's lightning manipulation backpack ... thingy.

Goetz: This little ladie's a real shocker! She's got ten thousand volts in the palm of her hand and she'll cook Jerry's goose! Put your hands together for Lightning Lass!
