Team Season With Superpsion (Webcomic) Wiki

 Team Season with Superpsion, occasionally known as Team Season: Villain Busters, and often abbreviated to the initialism TSWS, is an ongoing science fantasy superhero comedy media series by Thundermoth. The series began with a webcomic that was released from 22 November, 2019 to October 20, 2020 on Pixton.com, was briefly produced by Streamline Comics, which shut down in early 2020, and ultimately ended with 40 comics over a span of two "seasons". Following the shutdown of Pixton on December 31, 2020, the series has shifted into novels rather than comics.

Team Season With Superpsion is based on an unfinished paper-and-pencil comic serial that was co-created, developed and subsequently scrapped by Thundermoth in late 2017, called Peter and Ellie Vs The World. The webcomic's teaser trailer debuted on 22 November, 2019, with the pilot episode being released two days later on November 24, more than two years after the development of the original serial. The series' original webcomic was received with positive reviews.

The overall series is styled as a mashup of American superhero cartoons, Japanese anime and typical sitcoms. It has a similar story style and overall feel to Thundermoth's much more popular Squid Girl fan-fiction series (released from 2015 to 2017 with a total of 90 comics over a span of 3 volumes) but the content is much ruder and dirtier, and as such is aimed at a teen and adult audience. It features heroes and villains with a variety of personalities and abilities, all of which are designed to be intentionally ridiculous and bizarre, reflecting the series' absurdist style. Two prequel spin-off novels are currently in development, with the names Lochindorb: Destiny Into Darkness, and Immortals, and numerous other main-canon novels are in line for production as well.

The mainstream series focuses on the exploits and escapades of the anti-heroic and dysfunctional Season Siblings. The Season siblings are Spherimal Aliens from the planet Spheron, who are cursed to resemble humans and have been banished from their home planet to the fictional town of Vertvale City on Earth in an alternate, slightly more technologically advanced version of the 1990s. The siblings have been exiled for their immoral, sinful behavior, which was brought on by the demon soul fragments, as well as the group of mad angels known as the Watchers, that they unwittingly host within themselves.

Throughout the series, and with the assistance of a teenage psychic named Peter Minella, the Season Siblings are tasked with earning Hero Points by defeating the variety of malicious evildoers including monsters, ghosts and Meta-Villains that almost constantly besiege Vertvale City, and are led by the sinister supervillain Lord Lochindorb. One day, when the team earns enough points, they hope to use them to buy passage back home to Spheron. Each of the Season siblings also has their own unique personality and interests.

There is a running gag in the series that at the end of every season, the team amounts enough Hero Points to return home. Upon arriving at the ship to take them back, they are refused passage for committing too many sinful deeds, and are forced to collect even more Hero Points.

Halfway through Season Two of the series, the team meet up with their cousins, Team Holliday, another group of disguised Spherimals sent to Earth on a vital mission. With Team Holliday being the embodiments of the Seven Heavenly Virtues, but acting like selfish jerks, a rivalry quickly grows between Team Season and Team Holliday.

The series explores a number of themes, including what a person does when put into a new environment, the decisions taken once a person has been separated from their family, how those perceived to have broken the rules of society are downtrodden and oppressed, how those of different races are treated by the societies of their new homes, and how authority figures tend to be cruel and corrupt. Thundermoth also stated that the series' chaotic and over-the-top nature came about because he wanted to "create something that was just plain weird and insane, something that would make people wonder 'what the hell did I just read/see!?'"

Protagonists
Eclipse Season

Eclipse is a pale-skinned, black-and-red-haired, red-eyed introverted goth Spheronian who primarily dresses in black. She is the leader of Team Season and the identical twin sister of Equinox. She is afflicted with Wrath, and is the only member of Team Season whose top priority is to return home. Eclipse is fairly pragmatic, but is also extremely temperamental. She is shown to have a very short fuse and will explode into uncontrollable fury at the smallest sign of resistance, though she does also have a soft side that becomes more prevalent as the series goes on. Though she does not have the same level of interest in sex as her twin sister, she has sexual needs and interests, but never shows them in front of anyone except her fiancee, Peter. As a recurring joke, she shouts at her brother Autumn from off-panel, leading him to yell back in a comedic fashion. Eclipse has a strong sailor mouth and often uses profanity, more frequently than her younger sister Winter. She is able to summon a flaming black sword called the Midnight Blade and use a chaotic magic in order to fight enemies. She is also host to the mad angel Umbrakirai, the Watcher of wrath, vengeance and punishment.

Summer Season

Summer is the youngest member of Team Season. He is a grey-white-haired, blue-eyed, pale-skinned, extroverted Spheronian and is highly interested in science fiction and nerd-type activities, but because he is afflicted with Gluttony, he has an excessive attraction to, and obsession with, food. Summer's hyperactive sweet tooth often causes him to do and say things he normally would not. Summer is so consumed by his hunger for food, but especially sweet foods and sugar, that he will go out of his way even for small amounts of it. He fights with a magic double-bladed scythe called the Summer Harvest Scythe that he can split into two single-bladed scythes. He is host to the mad angel Tairiel, the Watcher of gluttony and excess.

Winter Season

Winter is the fraternal twin sister of Spring. She is a white-haired, white-eyed, pale-skinned introverted Spheronian who wears bright white and light grey clothing. Winter is afflicted with Sloth, and as a result, is selfish, lazy, rude, and mean-spirited. Winter will not help anyone unless she gets a significant reward out of it, and she has a strong disdain for the welfare of anyone but herself. She has a strong sailor mouth, and often uses profane language, though not as much as Eclipse. She is often left out of conversations owing to her utter lack of respect for others. She fights with Winter Enchanted Orbs that will obey her command and can change shape at her will. She hosts the mad angel Azuriel, Watcher of sloth and laziness.

Autumn Season

Autumn is the oldest member of Team Season. He is a tan-skinned, brown-haired, grey-eyed introverted Spheronian who wears dark blue and brown like Summer. Autumn serves as the straight man of the series, whose more sensible and realistic character serves as foil to his siblings and their over-the-top antics. He is the only member of the Season Siblings to not have his sin be a significant part of his character. He also has a massive amount of interest in the same things Summer is interested in. However, Autumn suffers from a strong involuntary desire to steal things, as he is afflicted with Greed, or Avarice. Autumn's severe kleptomania means that he often steals things that have little to no value without realizing it, and quickly returns the items whenever he discovers this. He fights with the Autumn Cornucopia Hand Cannon, a blaster that can fire many different projectiles, and which can be split into two laser pistols. Autumn is also host to the mad angel Loki, the trickster Watcher of greed and larceny.

Spring Season

Spring is the fraternal twin sister of Winter. She is a green-haired, green-eyed, pale skinned extroverted Spheronian, who wears green and brown with a red scarf. Spring is afflicted with Envy and as a result is jealous of other people's accomplishments, skills, and prized possessions. Spring has a love of flowers and is an avid audiobook reader, as she is often seen wearing headphones. Spring often falls into crippling depression when outdone, and often requires help to snap out of this state. Spring wears an enchanted suit of armor called the Spring Suit of Power Armor, which is similar to an Iron Man suit. She hosts the mad angel Azariel, the Watcher of envy and jealousy.

Solstice Season

Solstice is the second-youngest member of Team Season. She is a pink-haired, green-eyed, pale-skinned extroverted Spheronian who wears a green dress with a fancy tie and collar. Solstice is afflicted with Pride and as a result is self-centered, narcissistic, egotistical, and pretentious. Solstice has a massive interest in fashion and is the owner of Starlight Clothing, a fashion company that serves Vertvale City, all of the UK, and much of Europe, the profits from which enable her and her siblings to live in comfort. Solstice loves being in the spotlight, but is prevented from doing so by her siblings. She fights with a pair of enchanted pistols known as the Solstice Twin Guns, which have opposite color schemes. Solstice hosts the mad angel Ishtariel, Watcher of pride and narcissism.

Equinox Season

Equinox is the identical twin sister of Eclipse. She is a blue-haired, pink-eyed, pale-skinned extroverted Spheronian, who often dresses in flamboyant pink clothing. Equinox is afflicted with Lust and as a result is easily completely sidetracked from her villain-hunting duties in the presence of a member of the opposite sex. Much to the frustration and outright anger of her twin sister, and the disgust of her other siblings, Equinox's top priority is locating single male humans to have sex with, whom she attempts to attract using openly lustful or outrageous pick-up lines. She does not date without standards, however. Equinox will not date anyone who is already married or dating, or anyone underage, as she is well aware that such behavior is wrong, and will only pursue single adult men. Equinox is fond of telling dirty jokes, which irritates her twin sister and the rest of her siblings. She also tends to drool in an off-putting way in the presence of an available male, whether human or Spheronian, and prefers to shirk her villain-hunting duties in favor of pursuing her personal goal of having sex with every available unmarried male human in Vertvale City before returning to Spheron. Equinox fights with an enchanted bladed shield that attaches to her left hand, and claw-like blades that attach to her right. She also hosts the mad angel Luxamariel, the Watcher of lust and desire.

Superpsion

Also known as Peter Minella, Superpsion is a blue-haired, purple-eyed, tan-skinned introverted male Esper. He has extremely powerful psychic abilities, and uses said abilities to fight against various threats and protect innocent people. Peter is in love with Eclipse, who pretends not to love him back in the presence of others. In truth, she is in love with him as well. It is revealed early on that Peter's parents were killed when he was 10 in 1984, leaving him a homeless orphan. Taking pity on him, Eclipse invites Peter to live with her and her siblings, and over time, they become the closest thing Peter has to a family. Thus, Peter is protective of them and will defend them from any threat that could hurt them.

Event Horizon

Event Horizon, also known as Raymond Crux, is a younger Esper who appears at Camp Recluse in Season 3. He starts off rude, uncaring, insensitive and almost sociopathic, leading most who meet him to dislike him. This demeanor is an intentional ruse, however, as Event Horizon is seeking vengeance against Brother Pestilence for burning down half of New York City, and anyone who gets mixed up in the affair is at risk. He replaces Valentine as the tritagonist after his introduction. Equinox Season often pursues him and attempts to get him to hook up with her, but he easily evades all her attempts. He knows well enough that she is only interested in him because she wants to add his name to her X-List, a list of men she has previously had relationships with, and so rejects her every time she asks.

Valentine Masterson

Valentine Masterson is Team Season's across-the-hall neighbor. She is a magenta-haired, pale-skinned blue-eyed extroverted human female. She is the head of staff and lead waitress at the Loud House Cafe and Restaurant, and is very proud of her position there. Team Season often come to the Loud House for coffee and other drinks, with Summer constantly making ludicrous drink and food requests that are nearly always denied. Valentine's brother Noah is one of the many men that Equinox dates throughout the course of the series. It is later revealed that Valentine is a reincarnated Angel. She serves as the tritagonist of the series until the introduction of Event Horizon, at which point her role shifts to the tertartagonist.

Antagonists
Meta-Villains (+various ghosts and monsters)

Meta-Villains, also called Metas, are the villains of the week in the series. They are artificial humanoid creatures who are created by brainwashing humans and giving them superhuman abilities. Meta-Villains possess a wide variety of powers and skills and are immune to conventional weaponry. They cannot reproduce and can only be created using Evilization technology. Though they are stronger than ordinary humans, Meta-Villains are relatively weak when in combat against Team Season. They are often easily defeated, dropping Hero Points that Team Season can then collect. Some Meta-Villains are stronger than others. The two primary characteristics shared by almost all Metas is that they are evil, violent and destructive and they never survive the episode they appear in. There are exceptions to these rules, however; some Metas, such as Fairy Girl, lose sight of their purpose, abandon evil and turn peaceful, and some, such as Sasquatch, outright turn against evil and their fellow Metas, possibly even siding with Team Season in their fight against evil. This results in these Metas being able to survive for longer. The Camp Crusher Crew, a group of elite super-enhanced Meta-Villains created by the demon Brother Pestilence, serve as the main antagonists of the entire third season, making them the only loyal Meta-Villains to survive their debut episode, although they are killed at the end of the season. Other Meta-Villains that survive the episode they first appear in only do so because they switch sides, but the CCC do not.

The Royals

The Royals are recurring minor antagonists in the series. They are a social clique at SHHS (Snowy Heights High School). Consisting of well-dressed boys with rich families, the Royals are led by Mayor Forrest's son Christian, and rule SHHS with an iron fist, imposing unfair rules and requirements on other people to benefit themselves, humiliating and shaming anyone who gets in their way, and bullying and manipulating people to get what they want. Christian's family controls many organizations in Vertvale City, so he is able to threaten anyone who resists him with unemployment, or threatens to get their parents fired. As a result, Christian and his group usually get what they want. Almost everyone bows to them, excepting Team Season, Team Holliday, and Superpsion. The Royals as a result despise all the members of Team Season and Team Holliday, especially after Eclipse defeats Christian in a school fight by kicking him in the testicles towards the end of Season One. Christian is a segregationist, as he firmly believes in the idea that each country is the homeland of a specific race and is therefore for that race only. Christian does not know the full truth about Team Season and their true identity, but deduces that they are from an unnatural place. He also dislikes Superpsion both for his unnatural psychic powers and connection to Team Season, as well as his refusal to submit. Christian fancies himself a casanova, but is far from being so. He is treated as a coward and scumbag by his nemesis, Eclipse, who also plays a number of maddening pranks on him throughout the third season, including hanging his clothes on the arboreal zip line, devising an elephant's toothpaste reaction which covers him and his sister Angela in foam, and knocking him face first into his food at dinnertime. The Royals are considered the lesser of two evils in contrast to the other villains, but they are still mean, manipulative, greedy and cruel.

The Demons (Sister War, Sister Famine, Brother Pestilence, and Brother Death)

The demons are the secondary antagonists of the series. Once human, they are now twisted, soulless abominations that willingly serve Lord Lochindorb as his faithful lieutenants. They are capable of converting humans into Metas, and all of them wield a pair of dual fire swords as their weapon of choice. The one exception is Brother Death, who trades his swords for a flaming scythe from Season 3 onwards. They have red skin and orangish-red hair, and they sport horns. They also have red eyes, similar to Eclipse and Lord Lochindorb, but these eyes often glow yellow with slits for pupils. The demons are also capable of breathing fire, teleporting to some extent, manipulating fire, possessing people and/or hypnotizing them, and imitating the appearance and/or voice of anyone they touch, although their snakelike demon eyes will give them away. Sister War and Brother Pestilence are aggressive, reckless, and destructive, whereas Sister Famine and Brother Death are more clever, cunning, shrewd, and forward-thinking.

Lord Lochindorb

Lord Lochindorb is the main antagonist of the series. He is a shadowy supervillain who is based on a mix of villain stereotypes. Lochindorb is the mastermind behind the Meta-Villain attacks on Vertvale City and the creation of the demons. While he is designed as a genre parody of supervillains, Lord Lochindorb is actually a revenant formed by the vengeful spirits of murdered highschoolers. The ghosts were once benevolent, but were driven insane by rage and bitterness after discovering their families and friends had fallen on hard times or been killed as a result of various accidents, corporate corruption, crimes and other problems, which turned them against Vertvale City and mankind in general. They attempted to destroy the city hall out of anger, but were stopped by the (then human) demon siblings. Lord Lochindorb then kidnapped the siblings, torturing and dehumanizing them until their souls and humanity were stripped away, turning them into demons. Lord Lochindorb manipulates humans by turning them into Meta-Villains using Evilization Ether that he derives from his Spirit Energy, while also ordering around and occasionally physically punishing the demons. He despises Team Season, not only because they thwart his evil plans on a daily basis, but also due to their erratic behavior and lawlessness, which opposes his more orderly and organized lifestyle.

Possible unidentified overarching antagonist(s)

Note: This section is purely speculation. The antagonist(s) described have/has neither been confirmed nor denied, and it is not known whether or not he/she/they actually exist(s)

At the end of the second season of the series, Patrick Holliday points out to Eclipse that Lochindorb could not possibly have devised his superior technology on his own. Given that much of the technology in his base is from some 100 years into Earth's future, Patrick then theorizes that some unidentified person or group stole the technology from said future, traveled back in time to 1979 to give the technology to Lochindorb for an unknown reason, then retreated back to their own time. Patrick's theory has not yet been proven or disproven, and the only thing known to be true about the unseen person or group is that if they were proven to exist, they would be able to travel in time. Nicknamed "The Third Party", it is not known whether or not this mysterious being or group actually exists, and aside from their abilities of time travel and role in Lochindorb's rise to power, nothing else is known about them.

Team Season II (Can be referred to either as The Second or Two)
In the fourth season of the series, Team Season encounter a mysterious portal while battling the Meta-Villain Angel Dust, who possesses the ability to create realistic hallucinations. Through it come a group of people who resemble them, but are of opposite genders and generally less likable. It is quickly discovered that this new group is in fact an alternate version of the original Team Season. This team, nicknamed Team Season II, hails from the Flipverse, a darker and more dystopian parallel universe that exists alongside the Prime Universe (or Primeverse), but separated from it by a Quantum Barrier. The Barrier "turns over" occasionally, forming random rifts in reality that temporarily connect the Primeverse to the Flipverse and allow residents of both worlds to travel between them. To return home, Team Season II must predict the appearance of the next rift in reality on Earth, in which enterprise they are assisted by their counterparts. Team Season II's members have the "II" added to the end of their names to distinguish them from their original counterparts. Owing to a greater presence of evil within the Flipverse, Team Season II are less friendly and moral than Team Season I. The full team appears in seasons 4 and 7, and although Equinox Season II briefly returns in the fifth season, Team Season II disappear entirely from the series following the death of Lord and Lady Lochindorb in season 7.

Members
Eclipse Season II

Eclipse Season II is the captain and de-facto leader of Team Season II, the Flipverse counterpart of Eclipse Season I and the twin brother of Equinox Season II (Equinox II's name is pronounced EH-quin-ox rather than EE-quin-ox like his counterpart.). He, like his Primeverse counterpart, is afflicted with Wrath. As a result, he has a very short temper and is often angry and foul toward his siblings. Unlike his counterpart, however, Eclipse Season II is unwaveringly bitter, unempathic and antisocial, enraging everyone he meets with his openly defiant and disrespectful behavior. While his counterpart is angered by her sister's hobby of sleeping around and her perverted behavior, but genuinely cares for her and often reconciles with her, Eclipse Season II has a bad relationship with his brother, often insulting and verbally abusing him for being a debauched libertine and for being an adulterer on top of that. Eclipse II even goes so far as to wonder aloud what he must have done in his previous life for his brother to become such a rake. Equinox II does not take the abuse seriously and laughs it off, even though Eclipse II has often wondered aloud how he could have ended up with a brother like him. Eclipse II's tendency to laugh insultingly at other people and his cruel nature often get him into fights with his counterpart.

Equinox Season II

Equinox Season II, also known by the nicknames "Quinn II" or "QII", is the twin brother of Eclipse Season II. He is the Flipverse counterpart of Equinox Season I and, like his counterpart, is afflicted with Lust. Like his counterpart, Equinox II is lecherous, promiscuous and perverted. He has little to no care for either returning to the Flipverse or going home to Flipverse Spheron, preferring instead to fulfill his personal goal of seducing as many women as he possibly can while on Earth. He is in fact pleased by his family's unceremonious relocation to the Primeverse, as it enables him to add Primeverse women to his list of ex-girlfriends in addition to the Flipverse women already there. Equinox II enjoys having transient relationships with women, similar to his counterpart's numerous one-night stands with various unmarried men. However, unlike his counterpart, Equinox II is not afraid to pursue relationships with women who are already engaged in relationships or even married. He shows an unhealthy interest in Eclipse Season I, often trying to get her alone, making lewd comments around her, and trying to cop a feel whenever he can. Eclipse I says that she has no interest in him whatsoever for three reasons. First, she is already in a relationship with Peter Minella, second, she knows that Equinox II is just looking for another name to add to his list, and third, he is both unoriginal and in a weird way related to her. As she puts it, "You're the result of a parallel universe's halfassed attempt to recreate my sister!"

In the fifth season of the series, Equinox II manages to open a portal to the Primeverse to contact Team Season I, who see that he looks sickly and tired. Equinox II explains that after he and his siblings defeated Lady Lochindorb, Lord Lochindorb's Flipverse equivalent, they were permitted to return to Flipverse Spheron. Equinox II, however, was forbidden from doing so, owing to the number of extramarital affairs he had while on Earth. Because of his adulterous ways, Equinox II was left behind while his family returned home. Abandoned by his siblings and left for dead by his home planet, he has been aimlessly wandering the streets of Flipverse Vertvale City, waiting to die. Equinox II goes on to explain that he knows why he has been left on Earth, that his own proclivities and actions have led to his abandonment, and that he has seen the error of his ways. He then tells Team Season I that the only way to get out of this grim situation is time travel. He asks them to help him open a portal to the Flipverse's past so that he can rewrite his own past and prevent himself from becoming a philandering adulterer and thus avoid the dark future he now finds himself in. Team Season I ask Equinox II if he is sure he wants to alter time, as changing his past will prevent his past self from becoming his present self. It will erase the present version of Equinox II from existence and effectively kill him. Equinox II says that he is perfectly fine with this, as not having existed at all is preferable to slowly dying on Earth, hated and spurned by his people and even his own family. The plan ultimately succeeds, with Equinox II traveling into his own past. He then returns to the Primeverse some time later. When Team Season I ask him why he has returned, he explains that he was successful. He has prevented his past self from becoming a promiscuous ladies' man, the dark future has been averted and his redemption is complete. With only minutes left before he disappears from existence, he has come to say goodbye. After a tragic and peaceful farewell to his and his family's counterparts, who shed many tears over his decision to erase his own life, Equinox II then peacefully dissolves into a cloud of pink moths, which fly away into the sky toward Heaven. After his "death", Eclipse I tearfully remarks that he did what he knew was right, and after this often asks her sister, Equinox I, why she does not attempt to redeem herself the way he does. A cutaway scene within the Flipverse shows the revised timeline version of Equinox II, who is a heavy contrast from his original timeline version. As he goes about his day, a pink moth lands on his shoulder. While examining the moth in his hand, revised-timeline Equinox II says that he feels like he knows it from somewhere, indicating that his original time

line self is still with him in spirit.
