History
Subplot Lad appeared suddenly in the middle of a Limp-Asparagus Lad storyline to set up Chris Melwizcht's plot with Exclamation!Master!. He stayed around to exposit and set up further plots.
During Flame Wars IV, he died alongside many other LNHers, due to a brain tumor induced by OMAR's trollification power. But during Flame Wars Final, he returned unexpectedly as Plot Hook Lad, bringing in a new plotline and setting up the possibility of tie-in issues! ...which never really happened, as FWF was left an unfinished work. His resurrection, too, is a dangling hook for future plots!
