Constantly trying to enlist Lou in the fight against evil are a group of "superheroes" with more goodwill than actual ability: '''The Gecko''', a nerdy guy who can [[WallCrawl walk on walls]]; '''Val''', a girl with [[{{Flight}} the power of flight]]; '''Francis''', a haughty hippie with a [[MakeMeWannaShout sonic scream]]; and '''Lauren''', an old lady who can [[{{Seers}} see the future]] but not usually [[ScatterbrainedSenior concentrate long enough to communicate it]]. The threats faced by the team include, among other things: a team of equally incompetent "supervillains", a LoonyFan of Lou's who gives [[UnwantedAssistance "help"]] that's arguably as dangerous as the villains themselves, and the ''Tyrannosaurus Reich'' -- an intelligent [[ThoseWackyNazis Nazi]] T. Rex from AnotherDimension.

* MilitaryRankNames: Invoked by the title, but absent in the comic itself, where no one uses a codename (except [[{{Nerd}} The Gecko]]). The closest we get is Lauren commenting that Lou should lead the team and have the rank of major like her former husband.

* MissedTheCall: The entire premise of the story. The ImportedAlienPhlebotinum that gave uber-slacker Lou Martin his powers was intended for uber-samaritan Martin Louis, but the alien who left it on Lou's doorstep didn't realize that the phone book prints last names first. Since the phlebotinum can't be removed without a fatal surgical procedure, Lou's stuck with his powers, but for the entire length of the series, he tries his hardest to maintain his slacker lifestyle. Unfortunately, the [[WeirdnessMagnet plot keeps finding him]].



* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: At one point [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness Reggie]] speaks a sentence in plain English, and looks very concerned after he realizes he did. [[spoiler:This [[{{Foreshadowing}} toreshadows]] the revelation that there is a second mind inhabiting his body.]]
