== History ==

Limp-Asparagus Lad was raised by his godparents after the abduction by aliens of his parents when he was five, just outside of A Town You've Probably Never Heard Of, [[Io.wa]].  During his teen years, his mutant powers of dull awoke, and when he turned 18, he enrolled in [[Dave Thomas Deluxe University]] and joined the Legion of Net.Heroes.

For a long time, he acted as an example in the FAQ of a [[Writer Character]], though he had no Writer of his own. (It has been speculated that he was, by default, the only WC active during ''[[Looniverse Adrift!]]''.)  Seeking to improve his profile, he fell afoul of a plan by [[W.I.R.E.D.]] (We Intend Rule and Eternal Domination) to gain superhuman operatives. He was brainwashed into the evil '''Dark Limp-Asparagus Lad''', but was rescued by [[Coma Kid]] and [[Continuity Champ Jr.]] and deprogrammed by [[Special Bonding Boy]].

Shortly thereafter, he was lucky enough to gain a Writer silly enough to want someone with no personality as his Writer Character.  Around then, his cousin [[Retcon Lad|Joe]] retconned himself into the Looniverse from [[rec.arts.comics.xbooks]].  He turned Bob Melwizcht from a life of crime as [[Exclamation!Master! (Classic)|Exclamation!Master!]], but he died and returned, becoming Limp-Asparagus Lad's arch-nemesis.

In meta-continuity, he was originally one of the [[GIF.clone]]s of [[Sig.Lad]] that were created by [[Acton Lord]], with an independent origin retconned in later.

== Personality ==

Very dull; speaks in a monotone. Nevertheless, does to some extent feel the full spectrum of emotions; according to [[W.I.L.B.U.R.]], when he gets angry, his monotone starts sounding less like Mr. Spock and more like Rorschach.

Secular humanist.

== Powers and Abilities ==

Cousin of [[Retcon Lad]], godson of Emily and Henry Dale, biological son of Barbara and Jozef Asimov, fiance of [[Senses Lass]].
