Line 30:
* [[Cheerful Child]]: Wei Quevillion, Caprice's seven-year-old sister.
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: {{spoiler|Benjamin Prester}}'s therapy is [http://project-apollo.net/mos/mos270.html reported to be robust against anything less than a major psychological disturbance].

* [[Closer Than They Appear]]: [http://www.project-apollo.net/mos/mos354.html This strip] does it with a pair of glowing evil eyes, in the middle of a chase scene.
* [[Concealment Equals Cover]]: subverted on [http://www.project-apollo.net/mos/mos323.html this page]. When Benjamin is attempting to take cover behind an upturned table, the man shooting at him simply shoots ''through'' the table... and then mocks him for taking cover behind such a flimsy object.
Line 44:
* [[Genki Girl]]: Wei Quevillion, as the protagonists comment on [http://www.project-apollo.net/mos/mos166.html this page].
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: The Pindars, which [http://www.project-apollo.net/mos/mos393.html gets on Chaucer's nerves at one point]:

'''Pindar-Two''': I'm going to take that as a compliment. }}
* [[Genius Loci]]: The Martian people form a collective consciousness.
{{quote|
'''Benjamin''': That's like saying "''Brazil'' has decided you're ''cute''." }}
* [[Genre Savvy]]: The entire science of memetics relies on this. {{spoiler|The Vorstellen Police catches mad scientists by knowing exactly how they will react to certain situations.}}
Line 84:
* [[Redheaded Hero]]: Benjamin.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Fabula and Syuzhet, color-coded little ball-shaped robots from the Martian Constabulary -- or rather, AIs seen operating a swarm of color-coded robots.
{{quote|'''Prester''': Um... which one of you guys is ''Fabula''?
'''Six red robots''': Officer Fabula, at your service.
'''Prester''': And which is ''Syuzhet''?
'''Six blue robots''': Yo.
'''Prester''': I've been on Mars for five minutes, and already my brain hurts.}}
* [[Remember When You Blew Up a Sun?]]: See [[Badass Boast]] above.
Line 112:
* [[Wig, Dress, Accent]], subverted in [http://www.project-apollo.net/mos/mos304.html this page] by having a poorly-disguised version of the protagonists going through customs... and then having the ''actual'' protagonists enter the scene in the next page.
* [[Wrecked Weapon]]: Benjamin has a gun {{spoiler|that he just built with his mad science abilities}} [[Blasting It Out of Their Hands|shot out of his hand]]. Twice.
{{quote|
* [[You Can Barely Stand]]: Word for word, in the final Chase Scene.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Blue hair runs in Caprice's family, presumably on her mother's side; her dad has brown hair, but every other Quevillion we see has some shade of blue hair. There's a smattering of extras with oddly colored hair, either flat-out unnatural or just [[Dark-Skinned Blond|matching oddly]] [[Dark-Skinned Redhead|with their skin tone]].
