Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Crowning Moment of Awesome: As Eel O'Brian. In one story where the members of the Justice League were separated into two halves, their "civilian" and "super" personas, Eel was the one who got the "civilian" team together, including having to knock some sense into Bruce Wayne by pistol-whipping him and chewing him out. And finally, when the chips were down against the superpowered forms, Eel rallied the troops to challenge the nigh-omnipotent villains. "Who Dares Stand Against Us?" "We do."
High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Not in the main continuity, but in The Dark Knight Strikes Again, Plastic Man's gone off the deep end after being in a compression chamber for a couple decades, and he doesn't limit himself when utilizing his powers. Batman is extremely cautious when approaching him and says something to the effect of "He could kill us all if we piss him off." His face and demeanor when he's released are quite jarring.
