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. Even so, he rejoined the Legion and worked thru the difficulties of having died.

He's implied that some future version of Masterplan Lad will be involved in his resurrection.

Personality

Originally, somewhat snarky. Post-resurrection, seems to have gotten some level of confidence and poise, but still has some of his youthful awkwardness.
