What Is An In-Joke?
Exactly what it sounds like. You see, Superguy is, at heart, a humor list. It’s a humor list that’s been going for years, no less. So over time certain running gags, basic conventions, in-jokes, and insider humor have developed, to the point where a new reader might need a road map to follow along. This particular Part of the FAQ is going to be a little looser than other parts — mostly because the subject matter is not conducive to organization. Not all ‘in-jokes’ are funny, by the way — or are meant to be. Often they refer to events ‘everyone would know’ (such as the destruction of Washington D.C., or Intercontinental Salvage, or Radian’s Apotheosis). Unless specifically stated to the contrary, the below refer to the Superguy Subtopic. This is not necessarily a complete list.
