 Like the laws of physics or the biology of aging, the features of the LNHQ are mutable depending on who is writing the story. In accordance with the metafictional nature of the LNH itself, this mutability has become part of the story:
-: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In fact, one never knew exactly how the LNH HQ would look after a explosion and reconstruction; it had already resembled a London Gentleman's Club, a late Renaissance Italian palace, the UN building. Now, it resembled a rather shorter stubby version of the 1930's Empire State Building, complete with an Airship mooring post. LNH'ers were never sure if they would be hanging their spandex unifor-ms on brushed chrome, wood, or polished brass stands after a reconstruction.

 The LNH also has more general-use [[HoloDecStation]]s and swimming pool. There's a giant viewscreen in the main lobby, but it hasn't been used much since the last Smash tournament. The Plot Device Room holds plot devices in the LNH's custody, naturally. The Trophy Room holds a bunch more, along with other mementos of the LNH's various adventures, such as the giant [[Canada|Canadian]] two-dollar coin left over from one of Mirror Universe [[Canadian Spelling Guy]]'s plots. The [[Hall of Lost Heroes]] contains memorials to those who have fallen in battle (or in more ignominious pursuits, such as cheesecake accidents). The Ultimate Ninja apparently has his own personal [http://groups.google.com/group/rec.arts.comics.creative/msg/2f78e34f0d03b523 garden] for meditation and tea, where he also grows his own supply of Ninja Bush.

 : &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The building known as the Legion of Net.Heroes Headquarters has had a long if intermittent history as the rallying point for costumed champions. Moreover, even prior to the LNH-HQ's construction at the start of the 20th century, the site on which it was built was reported to posses esoteric properties that made it a location of importance.  The site is believed to be a `place of power' that complements and enhances the heroic (and theoretically, villainous) prowess of whatever individual or group possess the location. [''[[Stranger Tales]]'' #5 - [[Footnote Girl]]] (However, rumours that the location is in fact an ancient Indian burial ground have never been substantiated, and these days are taken seriously only by the overly excitable.) Definite records of this phenomenon can be traced back to the 19th century when the city of [[Net.ropolis]] was still named Babbagetown, and anecdotal evidence stretches back even further.
-: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The earliest (recorded) version of the Legion of Net.Heroes - led by [[Boy Lad]] - was active through the late 1920s and 30s [''[[Particle Man]] Annual'' #1 - Footnote Girl], and came to based in the three-story Net.ropolis Hotel Grand [''[[Lagneto 2016]]'' #4 - Footnote Girl], which had closed as a result of the 1929 stock market crash. This version of the Legion discontinued in the late 1930s, and the burden of heroic activities were shouldered by other teams. Although the [[P.U.L.P. Institute]] and the [[Classics Squad]] both made use of the building, neither group resided or was permanently based there. [''[[Particle Man (series) Particle Man]] Annual'' #1]

 LNHQ as a building has many unusual properties. For example, its rooms expand to fit the number of people within the room, making for a building that is much larger inside than it appears outside (akin to a TARDIS from ''Doctor Who'').  It possesses a nearly-infinite number of sub-basements (each level identified by an additional "sub", as in sub-sub-sub-sub-basement) which are host to a number of ghosts, supernatural creatures, [[Kiwis]], and a species of incredibly stupid bird known as the [[Oozelfinch]].  Another of the LNHQ's secrets is the Zero Chamber or Zero Room, hidden headquarters of the [[Intangible Legion]], assuming it actually exists/doesn't exist.
