Terror Troupe

2005-09-17T18:33:48Z

The Traveler:

A shadowy, almost universally alcoholic organization bent on taking over the world, or at the very least the corner pub.

They are:
*[[Colleen]], Gaelic nemesis of [[Jimmy MacLirr]]. She gained her powers from a cursed bottle of Mike's Hard Berries, and must consume the substance regularly to fuel them.
*[[Carter Boe]], Wine snob with powers based around Mixology blended with mad Science. Though he hides it well, he is custodian of the mystic force known as [[The Suave]].
*[[Good Guy]], reasoning that his name gets him out of more trouble than anything else, he is deceptively harmless. Few know that he can level a city block.

Feeple

2005-09-17T16:10:55Z

The Traveler: Linkback to Crisis

'''Feeple''' is an alien villain in the ID comics universe. Long ago, Feeple departed from his homeworld to conquer the planet Earth. However, by the time his Cryogenic Freezepod arrived, modern man, not caveman, ruled the Earth. Feeple's energy weapons proved little match for the heroes of Earth, and he was stripped of his technology. Feeple appears every so often in various ID comics, always with a plan to steal some new technology, which inevitably backfires. This small, purple alien first appeared in 'Adventures in Science!' #132.

He was featured as a major villain in the [[Crisis of Infinite Hype]].

Crisis of Infinite Hype

2005-09-17T15:31:04Z

The Traveler:

'''The Crisis of Infinite Hype''' refers to a period in ID Comics history that attempted to retcon the internal continuity into a more manageable state.

Ultimately, it failed.

This monumental crossover pitted the [[All-American Hotdog Gang]] against its antimatter counterparts in the [[Russo-Finnish Falafel Society]], with shadowy figures such as [[Morrigan]] and [[Feeple]] operating behind the scenes. It encompassed nearly every ID Comics title published that year, and was subsequently collected in trade paperback with a new painted cover by Alex Ross.

It is noteworthy for the deaths of a great many characters from the Silver Age of ID Comics, not the least of which was the [[Sicarii#Silver Age|Silver Age Sicarii]].

World Without a Jarp

2005-09-17T03:23:38Z

The Traveler:

A storyline that spanned all ID Comics titles being published at the time, this epic detailed the aftermath of the defeat and murder of [[Jarp]], the hero to millions, at the hands of the dastardly [[Professor Brimstone]].

With the death of this iconic hero, a long hard look at their own mortality was in order for hero and villain alike, but their introspection was soon interrupted.

==False Jarps==
Not long after Jarp's murder, four individuals appeared claiming to be his successor.
*The mystic Jarphosephat, who claimed to be the result of Jarp's soul emerging from the Siege Perilous as the Once and Future Jarp.
*The Brain of Jarp, a mechanical body hosting a brain floating in a briny fluid.
*Jarp Junior, who claimed to be the result of Jarp's drunken liasons during his college years.
*Jarpplesauce, a professional wrestler determined to carry on Jarp's legacy of heroism.

None of the four were allowed to assume the mantle, as Jarp emerged from the Fortress of Jumpitude weakened, but certainly not deceased.

Ragnarok

2005-09-17T03:02:11Z

The Traveler: Replaced DC with ID.

Ragnarok is a comic book miniseries published by ID Comics, written by Gary Russel and illustrated by Shanon Neko. It concerns the efforts of the [[The Liberty Guild]] in the semi-distant future to control the growing population of new superheroes, and the final battle for dominancy of the Earth.

The narrator of our story is Benoid 2.0, a replica of the original android, but with only fragments of his memories. Benoid is wandering as his predecesor did, attempting to decide his place in the world, and the original Benoid's place in his persona. Through his eyes, we see the events of Ragnarok: The reformation of the Liberty Guild out of it's now aging members, the building clash among the superpowered, and the final battle between them.

==The New Liberty Guild==
*Benoid 2.0: Our narrator; a replica of the original [[Benoid]], but with only some of his memories.
*[[Sprint]]: After joining in an inter-galactic war between the Egyptian space-gods, Sprint has been imbued with even more super-tech, and rules a vast kingdom as Pharoah.
*[[Sicarii]] III: An ex-navy SEAL haunted by the ghosts of the original Jewish assassin and his superheroic predecessor.
*The Order of St. George: A reformation of the holy order, headed by the descendent of Arthur Willeson, son of the [[Werewolf Paladin]].
*The [[All-American Hotdog Gang]]: Like Peter Pan's Lost Boys, still unaged.

==The Rogues==
*Jons the GM: A legion of the time-travelling [[jonthegm]]s from every point in history, led by a grizzled elder Jon.
*The Morrigan Girls: The original [[Morrigan]] has disappeared, and is worshipped by this cult of Amazonian women.
*[[Feeple]]: The alien would-be-conqueror has finally gotten the tech he always wanted, and is now housed in an enormous war-suit.
*[[Natthew A.P. Tarte]]: The inventor from the past is now old and decrepit, but his mind is as sharp (and nonsensical) as ever. He travels with the aid of a rocket powered Wheelchair.

King Nerd

2005-09-17T02:00:31Z

The Traveler: Liberty Guild crosslink

'''King Nerd''' is a fictional comic book character who appeared in stories published by ID Comics. He first appeared in [[The Liberty Guild]] #87.

Larry Nedrowski was a fan of ID comics on 'our' Earth. But, when he discovered a magic typewriter, he was able to transport himself inside his beloved comics. In the IDverse, 'King Nerd' (as he christened himself) was able to manipulate reality with his typewriter, and used his powers to wreak havoc across Century City, including turning [[Sprint]] to stone and removing [[Morrigan]]'s powers. Eventually, the Guild outwitted Nerd, who was sent back to our world. But he would appear many more times in various ID comics, appearing with his typewriter and causing chaos, only to be defeated by trickery.

Lately, King Nerd has become a sort of editorial device, a way for the ID writers and editors to poke fun at themselves and the industry. He will often appear in comics to make jabs at the very book he's in, or to point out plot-holes.

In Forumopolis #185, Carter Boe gave King Nerd the nickname "Duke of Doofus".

Morrigan

2005-09-16T23:59:55Z

The Traveler: /* The Nausea Years */

'''Morrigan''' is a fictional comic book character who appeared in stories published by ID Comics. She first appeared in Tales to Titillate #325.

==Silver Age==
Morrigan was first encountered when the [[All-American Hotdog Gang]] dug up a defiled statue of Athena while investigating an archaeological dig. As a villainess, she was a mainstay of Tales to Titillate until issue #413 when she starred in a brief but unpopular limited series. She was involved as a major antagonist in the [[Crisis of Infinite Hype]].

==Modern Age==
Following the Crisis, Morrigan was shelved for over a decade until she was relaunched by Rob Liefeld as part of the early 1990's fad of badgirl comics. Under Liefeld, Morrigan's series continued for three years before waning popularity caused it to be shelved again.

==The Nausea Years==
It was in 1997 when Grant Morrison pitched a new series starring Morrigan to the editors at ID. The pitch went well, and the series was launched under ID's [[Nausea]] imprint. A fan favorite, the series ran for five years, culminating in its final storyline "Tequila and Hookers." Considered by many to be amongst Morrison's finest works, it nonetheless was confusing if not downright nonsensical to the casual reader.

==Animation==
Morrigan was featured in the [[Sicarii#Animation|Sicarii Beyond]] episode "Maximum Spank," as well as the All-American Hotdog Gang Unlimited episode "Who Wears the Pants Now?"

Sicarii

2005-09-16T23:55:35Z

The Traveler: /* Modern Age */

Lemuel Sicarii, is a [[fictional character]] and superhero who first appeared in Amazing! Tales and Stories in May of 1938.

==Golden Age==
The character, who was created by Jack Cohen and Mark Hulings for Industrial Comics (today ID Comics), subsequently appeared in various radio serials, television programs, and films. Sicarii was born in Pennsylvania in the year 1822. At age 19 he accidentaly was placed into chronologic stasis by the mad scientist and doctor, [[Natthew A.P. Tarte]]. Sicarii remained in stasis until 1934, when he was discovered and adopted by an amiable farming family. He soon discovered that he had been imbued with superhuman powers, including super-speed and the ability to turn into any animal that weighs less than 45 pounds. When not fighting the forces of evil as the Stupendous Sicarii, he lives disguised as Sommerfield O'Guye, a mild-mannered clerk for the Tennesee Valley Authority. Lemuel's usual love interest is the lovely [[Angelica T. Hirteen]].

==Silver Age==
During the Silver Age of Comics, the editors at ID launched a new series with the same name, but starring an entirely unrelated character. This series featured Sicarii X-239, an android created by a hidden city of superintelligent tree sloths. Though popular for many years, the Silver Age Sicarii was killed in the [[Crisis of Infinite Hype]] and never spoken of again within ID continuity.

==The Nausea Years==
The character of Sicarii was mostly ignored for the next several decades, until author [[Alan Moore]] volunteered to relaunch the character. This new series was the inaugural title of the newly-minted [[Nausea]] imprint under ID Comics. Moore's vision of Sicarii was radically different from the original; Sicarii was still chronologically imprisoned in the 19th Century, but was instead awoken in 1964. However, this Sicarii had no Superpowers, and used knives as weapons in hand to hand combat. Later in the series, it was revealed that Sicarii was the reincarnation of a Roman-era Jewish zealot that had been crucified for killing a Roman military governor. Sicarii's violent past conflicted with his attemptedly peaceful life as a civil servant, and culminated in his death, shot down after assassinating a powermad President.

It is presently collected in a set of five trade paperbacks, and director Brett Ratner has recently wrapped production on a film adaptation. Moore is reportedly unhappy with the script, and has distanced himself from the upcoming film.

==Animation==
Under Paul Dini and Bruce Timm, Sicarii experienced unprecedented popularity in three seperate animated series. The breakthrough "Sicarii the Animated Series" revitalized interest in ID Comics properties, earning a prominent slot in weekday afternoon children's programming. It was followed by "Sicarii and Jarp," which was cross-marketed by Hasbro with a lucrative action figure line. The fan favorite series "Sicarii Beyond" nonetheless did not resonate with the demographics ID Comics and Hasbro were seeking to market to, and was cancelled halfway through its second season.

Sicarii would return to the small screen in "All-American Hotdog Gang Unlimited," but it is noteworthy that this series featured the Silver Age Sicarii, rather than the mainstream character.
