4	''[[http://wootlabs.thewebcomic.com/ Wootlabs]]'' is a {{Superhero}} {{Webcomic}} starring MadScientist Penny "Square Woot" Colt, along with her "family" -, robots Rusty and Catbot 99, lizard girl Wendy and intelligent, ice-breathing penguin Pengi, who set out to be the greatest, most infamous villains in [[WhereTheHellIsSpringfield The City]]. Though they never seem to crack the top 10 most wanted and seem to spend most of their time tangling with giantess hero Riot Girl. Eventually, super hero Amy "APM" Nyan convinces Woot that since everyone thinks she's a hero, she should give heroism a real try.

6	Formerly a weekly comic, ''Woot Labs'' merged with its sister comic, ''They Might Be Heroes'' (Which stared the same cast, but focused on their less villainous activities) to become a twice-weekly comic.
7	----
8	!!Tropes:
9
10	* ActionGirl: APM
11	* BreathWeapon: Pengi is a genetically engineered penguin with ice breath.
12	* CatsAreMean: One of the catlike behaviors Catbot will admit to having.
13	* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: APM's gaming skills somehow translate into enhanced physical and mental agility.
14	* DatingCatwoman: APM and Square Woot.
15	* HeroWithBadPublicity: The damage Riot Girl causes just by walking around causes the public to see her as basically a talking {{Kaiju}} and Woot & co. as heroes for constantly chasing her off.
16	* MayflyDecemberRomance: Booth (twenty-something)/Judemaru (millenia-old necromancer)
17	* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Booth, Judemaru's boyfriend/minion.
18	* MushroomSamba: [[http://wootlabs.thewebcomic.com/comics/1979292/may-cause-joelsiness/ Penny singing]] [[Music/BillyJoel "The Longest Time"]] after being given an entire bottle of cough syrup.
19	* NoodleIncident: The incident where Penny turns Riot Girl into a giant. [[spoiler: For a while, anyway; eventually we get to see her origin in a flashback.]]
20	* NotQuiteBackToNormal: [[spoiler: While Riot Girl eventually does return to normal size, she remains super-strong for some reason.]]
21	* OurGiantsAreBigger: Riot Girl (who's 200ft tall). [[spoiler: She eventually gets shrunken back to normal size.]]
22	* SlidingScaleOfAntiVillains: Woot and her family are Type Is as a whole. Wendy and Catbot are far more enthusiastically evil than the others, but are tempered by Woot (who is encouraged to be better by APM).
23	* PokeThePoodle: Despite Wendy's stated desire to be feared evil doer, the most we see her do (when not fighting actual bad guys) is rob a pizza place of actual pizza.
24	* PokemonSpeak: Pengi can only speak in variations of "Meep", "Moop" and "Ooshi". Penny, Amy and Catbot seem to understand him fine. Rusty and Wendy don't.
25	* TeamMom[=/=]TheHeart: Rusty. Made explicit when Rusty is nearly destroyed in battle and the family disintegrates until Penny can repair him.
26	* TokenGoodTeammate: APM [[spoiler: She eventually persuades Woot to try heroism.]]
27	* VillainProtagonist: Woot and Co.
28	* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Team Woot is seen as heroes by the city, mostly because they constantly oppose the (unintentionally) destructive Riot Girl.
