The Treehouse Warriors is a Smoking Cat Productions superhero team created by writer and artist Jonathan M. Sweet. Members of the Warriors first appeared in The Belch Dimension Comics #1 (May 2005). Although hardly the first super-team comprised of teens and preeteens (this honor goes to the Legion of Superheroes), this is the first both comprised of stick-figure characters and based on actual people (all relatives, friends and onetime schoolchums of the writer). The Warrior team is also known for its large and rotating roster, which includes roughly a dozen minor and major characters.
