* [[Bland-Name Product]]: "[
* [[Brain Bleach]]: Both Captain Heroic and Miss Match get chills from the [[Unfortunate Implications]] of the thought of Commander Heroic "appealing" to Flame. {{spoiler|Little do they know...}}

Line 134:
* [[Psychic Powers]]: Psy-Chick.
* [[Puppy Dog Eyes]]: Part of Miss Match's strategy for defeating Elastic Man (along with some whispering...)
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Miss Match. (More orange-ish, really, but it fits with the "flame".) Originally seen only in close-ups when angry but later (with [[Art Evolution]]) consistently.
* [[Ring of Power]]: Dr. Muskiday invents a power ring that, instead of being powered by a user's emotion, changes to ''fit'' the user's emotions...a [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Power Mood Ring]].
{{quote| '''Muskiday:''' In righteous day or boogie night, no jive or funk escapes my sight...}}
Line 147:
