Legion of Net.Heroes  From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump
to: navigation, search LNH logo designed by Wil Alambre, with
the help of Typo Lad.  The Legion of Net.Heroes, or LNH, is the
oldest (and perhaps the first) Usenet-based shared universe
still in existence, and the name of the premiere "net.hero" team
in that universe. Birthed from a rec.arts.comics cascade thread
in April 1992 [1], it began as parody of the Legion of Super-
Heroes (LSH), and other comic book superheroes. It featured
characters like Cheesecake-Eater Lad (based on Matter-Eater Lad)
and Super Apathy Lad defending the “Looniverse” from the likes
of Lagneto ("Lag" spliced with "Magneto") and Doctor Killfile.
Over time, it has evolved to include comedy, serious drama,
character pieces and melodrama. With 181 stories posted in 2007,
it is still active.   In the beginning[edit]  On April 27, 1992,
rec.arts.comics member Bill Sherman, commenting on the correct
spelling of the name Winsor McCay, declared himself "Spelling
Boy" of the LSH.
