* [[Kick the Dog]]: Johnny makes a hobby out of petty insults and being a dick to people, especially to Ben. Shoutout to him flippantly referring to him as "The Thing nobody wanted" after his transformation, something he's very insecure and upset about.

* [[Sadist Teacher]]: Reed's science teacher during his school days, to hilariously unreasonable extents. How does this man react to nine-year-old Reed comprehending and talking about college-level scientific concepts? With scorn and disdain. How does he react to high school-aged Reed creating a ''working teleporter'' for a science fair? ''He disqualifies him for cheating'', and calls it a magic trick on top of that. It really makes you wonder if this man just hates Reed and Reed specifically.
