{{quote| '''Ellis''': ''...masked adventurers on the run are not going to be pursued, tricked and trapped by their estranged colleagues. Every last one of them is going to be hunted by the combined forces of the US military structure. It is, to my mind, what would always happen — the streets of America would be secured by soldiers and gun emplacements and helicopters against the threat of the flying superhuman. And for those who think I’m being anti-American, consider this: in Britain, we’d just have the SAS kill them in their beds. You people are young, and have not yet learned how to do business.''}}
* [[Super Speed]]/[[Good With Numbers]]: Zoe Jump. She has to visualize a set of quantum equations in order to engage her abilities.
** Okay, hold on to your hat. First, it's a [[Shout -Out]] - this is the same way [http://theflash.wikia.com/wiki/Johnny_Quick Johnny Quick] activates his superspeed. Second, she describes it as a [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakthrough_Propulsion_Physics_ProgramBreakthrough Propulsion Physics Program|Millis Bias field]] activated by [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observer_effect_Observer effect (physics) |mentally completing an equation]]. Only Warren Ellis could take something so ridiculous and make it hard sci-fi.
* [[Take Me to Your Leader]]: John Horus says this when he arrives to speak to some army folks, after getting their attention by dropping a fighter jet in front of their base.
* [[Taking You With Me]]: {{spoiler|How Tom Noir kills John and Frank.}}

* [[Women Are Wiser]]: The living female members of the Guns (Zoe, Kathryn, Angela) do manage to avoid having their [[Berserk Button|Berserk Buttons]] pushed compared to the men-- and it's the practically-a-[[Blood Knight]] Kathryn Artemis (just read her flashback in issue 6) who says "We also have a responsibility to this city, and we haven't done right by that. We've been crazy for too long, girls." This may be why they all survive. (It's hinted in flashbacks that Laura Torch may have also been the most grounded member of the entire Seven.)
* [[Wretched Hive]]: The city where the Seven Guns got their start was an incredibly corrupt near-police-state before they cleaned it up.
* [[X -Ray Vision]]: Tom has this, though instead of actual x-rays, it "provides realtime sonar imaging on a sliding level. You'll be able to see directly into any target with surgical precision: outer layers of clothing, weapons, devices, internal organs, bones." When he's using it to look at a super-mook's nervous system, it resembles [[Vein -O -Vision]].
* [[You're Insane!]]: Said by {{spoiler|John Horus}}, when called out on {{spoiler|his}} stupidity by {{spoiler|Kathy Artemis}}.
