League of Super Evil (initialized as L.O.S.E. or LOSE) is a Canadian animated television series inspired by the sketch "Once Were Heroes" by Ryan Harper-Brown, co-created by Philippe Ivanusic-Vallee, Davila LeBlanc, Peter Ricq, developed by Asaph Fipke, and produced by Nerd Corps Entertainment in conjunction with YTV. The series ran from 7 March 2009 to 25 August 2012. Reruns ceased on YTV on 2 September 2014, when Teletoon picked up where YTV had left off. It also aired in the UK on CBBC. League of Super Evil also airs internationally on Cartoon Network and Disney XD.
Plot
The League of Super Evil (or "L.O.S.E.") is a group of so-called "supervillains" who are plotting to take over their neighborhood in Metrotown and the world ultimately but their plans usually involve pranks such as gluing a penny to a chair. While all the other citizens in the neighborhood live in suburban houses, The League has a "secret evil lair". The League is often at odds with other, more important and competent super villains such as Skullossus and also tries to avoid getting busted by Metrotown's heroes.

Production
Character creation
When the series was announced on 12 November 2008, the characters of the show underwent changes. Doktor Frogg was originally created with grey hair, a grey lab coat, silver framed goggles and silver claws. His final design was later changed to dark green hair, a blue coat, gold framed goggles and gold claws. Voltar originally had a grey suit, which was changed to red. Doomageddon was also created as a grey Hellhound but was later changed to yellow. Red Menace was originally created with a red and white colour suit, but the suit was changed to just plain green. These prototypes were inserted into the show as the Legion of Supreme Evil in the episode "A LOSE/LOSE Situation".
