We present to those of you over 18 (or those of you under 18 but accompanied by a parent or guardian) the Sultry Sex Squad! But before you visit any of this pages, we suggest you bring protection. Or, if you don't have the guts to even view one of this abominable adulterers, we can recommend you sign up for these guys.

• Hot Koko
• The Spring Break Monster
• Verminatrix
• Claparella
• Phenomenalbert
• Venus Fly Trap
• The Sexy Zookeeper

Sutter and Kevin, as well as frequent Guest Illustrator Pete Dalkner, are at this moment pouring their illustrative skills and comic abilities into a thrice-weekly web comic. It is highly recommended by several anonymous mad scientists that you visit the site if you suffer from any of the following conditions:

Missus Superustum, an acute ailment where you suffer frequent depression because you so desperately miss The Superest.

Hilarium Lackus, a blanket lack of hilarity in your daily grind, as well as your nine-to-fives, work life, home life, and sex life.

We implore you to visit Birthday Street, or catch the feed, twitter stream, or facebook page, and see if it alleviates any of your symptoms. If not, then you've obviously been hypnotized, poisoned, or you're this guy. In any case, your goose is cooked.

Extension

Of all the bench sitters, Extension actually came the closest to conflict, even accruing an additional note, and a page of his own. But alas, as it turns out his spot in the battle against the dreaded Deadline was promised to someone else, and Extension had to trudge back to his tent, his head bowed low, or at least as low as it can get when it's teetering six feet up in the air.

Rose

When The Human Feather appeared, HQ at The Army of Kevin was taken quite off guard. In a panic, Cornell searched around for someone, anyone, to throw against this light, playful threat. He eventually recruited Rose, who seemed interested in making a giant pillow with just one feather, and also was keen on getting her hands on army rations, which were a step up from the normal fare at the retirement home. But luckily, before he had to push an old woman into what would be certain death, a new recruit arrived last-minute, stuck to a supply wagon.

Arctic Otter

Those of you who are fans of Buster Booster may be surprised to know he was actually the second choice to defeat the slippery Jerry Curl. After much soul-searching, Arctic Otter decided he couldn't face his opponent, especially when compositionally, he just couldn't compete with the pleasing symmetry and ample areas for text placement that Buster Booster could provide.

Offkey

There are people in this world, who are born into fame, success, and an impeccable family pedigree, and do everything in their power to exploit this turn of fortune. Then there are those, who wish to make a name for themselves all on their own, without the benefit of being some celebrity's son or daughter. And so it was with Son of Drone, who joined the Cornell side in the Fall of 2008, to face up against Barberchop Quartet. But at the last minute, his secret lineage was revealed, and Cornell forced Offkey to put on a bee costume, and become Son of Drone. In war, you must take every advantage you can.

However, on occasion a robot will appear who is owned by no man. It fights for its own causes and makes no exceptions. Let's examine the two simple rules it takes to assimilate into The Circuit of Robots.

1. You must be made entirely of non-organic material. No pansy half-man/half-robot abominations. Sorry, Robocop. Despite this rule though, you will probably still have arms, legs, a head, and eyes. This is to fool humans into thinking you're one of them no doubt.
2. Your name will very likely hint at your robotic affiliations.

Compiled here for the first time ever are the 8 members of The Circuit of Robots. Have at 'em.

• Detoxitron
• Cyborganic
• Ztainless Zteel
• Poachbot 12P6
• Titanium Team
• KillOWatt
• Dehydrodater
• Microwave of Mutilation

But make no mistake — even these Titans of Truce could only hold back the unstoppable wave of aggression momentarily. Eventually the battle would resume, and these noble ambassadors of peace would fade silently into the pun-riddled pages of The Superest history books. That is, until now.

Disciples of Diplomacy

Gathered here, for the first time together, are those noble heroes who managed to slip into the fray, and force an armistice:

• Santa Pause
• Uncle Stand
• Autowa
• The Return of Santa Pause
• Major Fatigue

The War Profiteers

Also worth noting, are the heroes who saw enormous financial potential to be gained by selling goods during the war. Of course, some debate as to whether these men are truly heroes; but I think you'll agree anyone who brings humanity a shirt that says "Bacon" has accomplished something admirable.

• The Store Is Open
• Bacon Shirt
• The Superest Book

Footnotes

¹"Prestigious" is a relative term here. Not everyone gets as pumped up for Eraser Expo as Matt Sutter. Though the 2009 line of Kneaded Rubbers were a huge step forward in graphite-removal technology.

1. Impaired vision in one eye. Though, since none of the heroes with eyepatches seem to be members, I suspect you still need both eyes in your head. This is a group that places a lot of stock in binocular vision.
2. A considerable amount of financial stability, gained presumably through sound investment in the East India Trading Company, success in the field of villainous medicine, or through the exploitation of one's peasant vassals or political constituents. I guess what I'm saying is... none of these guys are moonlighting as a Denny's manager, you know what I mean?
3. Some sort of mustache. Unless you're a pig.

Here now are all six known members of The League of Monocles. View them at your own risk!

• Mr. Ben Soilperocks-Hyde
• Quack Sawbones
• Avaricious Oinksly
• Doctor Constipator
• Starch Duke Ferdinand
• Night Mayor

The Random Hero Selector

A random hero selector has been added, for those of you who just want to randomly dive into the middle of the fray. Just look for it in the sidebar. And if you don't like your random option, feel free to roll again for a new choice.

Viewing Options

Each hero page has two views: The Full Details view and the Condensed View. The Condensed View is excellent if you just want to breeze through the heroes as quick as possible, with just the bare minimum of distractions. The Full Details view, which is the default view, shares all other relevant information, such as the dates in which said hero held their title, who drew them, and any comments muttered by the crowd who gathered to watch the battle way back when.

The Aftermath

The section you're currently reading, The Aftermath, is the perfect place to watch for any new Superest content, such as lost art, backstory on heroes, and new interpretations of old heroes.

What's more, every now and then we hope to share fan submissions. So if you have any Superest-inspired art you'd like to share, including alternate heroes, or your own interpretations, feel free to (under 2mb please). We can't guarantee we'll show everything, but we'll certainly share the stuff that blows us away

But don't forget...

Along with the new stuff, we've still got our store if you're looking for Superest-related merchandise, and if there's a particular hero you're looking for, you can always use our search to track them down, or go straight to the Table of Contents page. If you're interested in such things, we also have a feed available for The Aftermath, located in the footer. And as always, if you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them below, or write us an .

Okay! That's about all you'll probably ever need to know. Thanks very much to Dan Mall for lending his expertise and advice; if you have any questions or compliments for him, I'm sure he'd love to hear from you over at his site. In the next installment, we take a look at some of the more optically challenged members of The Superest pantheon.

The year was 2006. Thinker and writer extraordinaire Andy Havens came across an article on a doodling game called "Doodle Association". He left a brief complimentary comment. But more importantly, he shared a link to his own doodling game, a fun little time-killer called My Team, Your Team. The rules were simple:

1. Player One draws a character with a power.
2. Player Two draws a character whose power cancels that power.
3. Repeat.

He did not know it then, but this brief comment would grab the attention of the author of the Doodle Association article, a shamefully-inebriated illustrator named Kevin Cornell. Intrigued by the game, Cornell shared the link with fellow illustrator Matt Sutter, and the two promptly gave the game a try. It was confirmed — the game was indeed fun. So fun, in fact, that they decided to share their results on their respective websites. But once again, a seemingly innocuous comment on a website sparked something bigger, when it was suggested by a reader named Jared that the game "...could be big. It's very own website big!"

Cornell and Sutter agreed, and secretly set to work creating a website where they could play "My Team, Your Team" specifically. In October 2007, they finally launched their creation, and The Superest was off and running. The doodling game would continue apace for the next three years, with the final hero being posted on April 1, 2010. Many suspected the "end" to be some sort of April Fool's Day hoax. But alas, it was for real, and after nearly 400 heroes, the game came to an end.

But the site, and its twisted, turning story of illustrative conflict remains. The heroes of The Superest stand forever frozen on the cusp of victory, immortalized in pen and ink, pencil and paint; perpetually awaiting the discerning eye and hushed murmurs of an audience, to amuse, to inspire, to awe. For — in that moment — they live again, an undefeated champion. In short, they need a hero of their own, to bring them back to life.

Are you up for the challenge?
