* [[Chair Reveal]]: In '' Danger Girl and the [[Army of Darkness]]'' #4, Agent Zero shoots what he thinks is his target through the back of a chair. He then walks round to the front of the chair and instead finds a dummy rigged to a bomb with three seconds left on the timer |

* [[Expy]]: Most obviously Deuce to the Connery [[James Bond]], and Johhny Barracuda to Bruce Campbell, but much of the first arc also reads like an extended homage to [[G.I. Joe]], with The Hammer standing in for Cobra, Agent Zero for Snake Eyes, Assassin X for Storm Shadow, {{spoiler|Natalia Kassle}} for the Baroness... Heck, even some of the vehicles that appear look like they were directly inspired by classic Joe or Cobra craft. |

* [[Super Serum]]: The blue, glowing, apparently [[I Love Nuclear Power|radioactive]] liquid Doctor Von Kripplor tests on a hapless prisoner, one Agent Falcon. It fails spectacularly, reducing him to blue sludge. Apparently, it's meant to turn people into Major Maxim-the only successful test subject, a huge, burly man in a gas mask and red goggles. |

* [[Wet Sari Scene]]: As much as it's possible to convey this in a comic, when Abbey, in a white t-shirt, goes swimming. Subsequent panels seem to indicate she's not wearing anything underneath, with the heavy implication her shirt is now see through. |
