=== This book contains the following tropes: ===

* [[Big Bad]]: The Evil Overlord.
** For Cal, it's {{spoiler|Ultraweapon.}}
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: Ultraweapon is one of the 'Iron Dick' versionversions of Tony Stark.
** Mechani-Cal has some similarity to the Spiderman villain, theThe Beetle. Who, coincidentally or not, became a hero in the [[Thunderbolts]].

* [[Rich Bitch]]: Subverted by Wendy. Despite being richer than God, she's the sweetest character in the books.
** Oddly, this seems to have been Aphrodite's old personality.
* [[Rich Idiot With No Day Job]]: Ultraweapon is apparently this. He made part of his original armor but used a corecorps of engineers to make the rest of it and now coasts on the profits from his work.
