Line 21:
* [[Badass Grandpa]]: Deuce. He's clearly past his prime but manages to fend off a squad of Hammer assassins alone and escape with no real injuries.
** Hammer Leader becomes a Badass Great Grandpa {{spoiler|when he dons the [[Upgrade Artifact|artifact armor]]}}.
* [[Blonde, Brunette, Redhead]]: The Danger Girl team (Natalia, Sydney and Valerie respectively) when Abbey meets them. {{spoiler|Later Abbey, Sydney and Valerie after Abbey's recruitment and Natalia's betrayal.}}
* [[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
* [[Clothing Damage]]: Frequently, and often on purpose. Once with alligators.
* [[Commie Nazis]]: The Hammer empire.
* [[Distracted Byby the Sexy]]: Unsurprisingly, the girls use this tactic. A lot.
* [[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.
** Major Maxim is an imposingly-sized [[The Dragon|field commander]] clad head-to-toe in black life support/augmentation equipment serving a decrepit old [[Diabolical Mastermind|puppetmaster]] in charge of an [[The Empire|evil empire]], rather like [[Star Wars|Darth Vader]].
** Also, [[Bland -Name Product]] versions of [[Super Mario Bros.|Mario]] and the [[Hercules: The Legendary Journeys]] incarnation of Hercules on Valerie's introduction spread.
* [[Eye Awaken]]: {{spoiler|Maxim}}
* [[Fan Service]]: Constantly, and of both the female ''and'' male variety despite the title.
Line 41:
* [[Not Quite Dead]]: Coupled with [[No One Could Survive That]].
* [[Now or Never Kiss]]: May also have just been because Johnny is a [[Handsome Lech]].
* [[Nipple -and -Dimed]]: With bubbles, among other things.
* [[Pineapple Surprise]]: Happens to mercenary in ''Danger Girl and the [[Army of Darkness]]''.
* [[Pungeon Master]]: Johhny Barracuda.
* [[Pretty in Mink]]: Abigail wears a mink coat when infiltrating a high class party.
* [[Schedule Slip]]
* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: It's Sili''con'' Valerie, as in computers; Not Sili''cone'' Valerie, as in... well, you know.
* [[Spell My Name Withwith a "The"]]: The Peach.
* [[Spy Catsuit]]: Sydney wears an archetypal example.
** Thought by many to be a [[Shout -Out]] to Vanessa's in the original ''[[Austin Powers]]'' considering proximity of releases and the comic's penchant for references.
* [[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.
* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]: Assassin X to Agent Zero.
Line 56:
* [[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.
* [[Whip It Good]]: Sydney Savage.
* [[X Meets Y]]: [[Danger Girl]] is [[CharliesCharlie's Angels]] meets [[James Bond]].
