Line 268:
* [[Genius Bruiser]]s/[[Smarter Than You Look]]: Though some of the evidence for that comes from the Jägers who are... not the best at determining who's "schmott". Still, Punch evidently is at least competent at mechanics and outspoken (once his vocal apparatus was rebuilt, anyway). That's when we remember that for years they were assistants to two of the top-tier mad scientists, learning from the best - and possibly their friends and colleagues too. And now [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20131101 Punch is good at working with their gadgetry].
* [[Gentle Giant]]s: Apparently, though most people who didn't know Punch assume he's just [[Dumb Muscle]].
{{quote|'''
'''Maxim:''' Oh yah! He build very amuzing toys for de ''orphan cheeldren!'' }}
* [[Goggles Do Something Unusual]]: Judy has special glasses to make her eyes look the same size.
Line 342:
* [[Grappling Hook Pistol]]
* [[Impossible Thief]]: Specialist in misdirection and sleight of hand, to the point that she can switch out a hostage for a straw dummy, while said hostage is still being held by his captor, and she's in full view of said captor, ''across the room''. It just has to happen [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome|off-panel]].
** In the comic, Zeetha looks not particularly impressed and says, "Meh. Not bad..." The novelization reveals that Zeetha had to '''work''' at looking unimpressed.
* [[Legacy of Service]]
* [[McNinja]]: Smoke Knight.
Line 365 ⟶ 366:
* [[Crazy Prepared]]: Like most female performers, [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20081022 she wears leather underwear] to guard against the Wacky Weave Destabilizer.
* [[Defeat by Modesty]]: Tried and failed.
** In the novelization, she '''doesn't''' wear leather underwear -- but Skifandrian warriors train in the nude.
* [[Dual-Wielding]]: With what appear to be either [[wikipedia:Katara (sword)|Katars]] and/or [[wikipedia:Pata (weapon)|Patas]], weapons used in our world's India with H-shaped grips and often with some kind of hand guard added to the grip.
* [[Expressive Shirt|Expressive Headband]]
Line 446 ⟶ 448:
* [[Torture Technician]]: She shows her interest right during [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20040121 her introduction].
{{quote|'''Bangladesh:''' Do I come into your lab and tell you how to torture rats?
'''Gil:''' [[Deadpan Snarker|Frequently]].
'''Bangladesh:''' Exactly! So I know what I'm doing! }}
* [[Undying Loyalty]]: To Baron Klaus Wulfenbach. If the Baron tells her to do something, she does it. End of story.
Line 579 ⟶ 581:
{{quote|[http://twitter.com/Othar/status/5538674658 Like all prisoners in the castle, I'm outfitted with an exploding collar. Ha! The fools, my head is the least dangerous part of my body.]}}
** [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Sometimes.
*** In the novelization, Klaus is actually a bit shocked when Othar abruptly drops the Large Ham to be serious and sensible. He wonders,
{{quote|''It...he can't ''always'' be...acting...can he?'' The thought was chilling. Klaus had always considered Othar a clown. If this was all just a ''game'' to him...}}
* [[Implacable Man]]
* [[In Spite of a Nail]]: According to his Twitter account a Spark's experiment with time travel and alternate realities has revealed that every Othar has some kind of predisposition to deciding to wipe out Sparks. He briefly wonders if there's something about the Othars that causes them to simply have suicidal craziness before dismissing the idea.
Line 585 ⟶ 589:
{{quote|Let me see if I understand this. He thinks all the problems in Europe are caused by mad scientists that build all the monsters. The mad scientists who vie with each other to see who can turn the population into clowns or bats or inanimate objects the quickest.The raving lunatics who set off volcanoes and unleash flash floods upon innocent cities. Othar wants to destroy these people, and ''you think he's insane.''}}
** And Klaus secretly acknowledges that Othar has a point. He had apparently been in the habit of subtly directing Othar in the direction of dangerous Sparks who hadn't technically violated the Baron's Peace up until Othar started killing Sparks that Klaus considered useful.
* [[Large Ham]]: Most sparks chew scenery when in [[The Madness Place]]
{{quote|'''Othar:''' So -- all the vipers are in residence!
'''Gilgamesh:''' I can't ''believe'' you still ''talk'' like that. }}
Line 741 ⟶ 745:
* [[McNinja]]: And a top-tier one.
{{quote|'''Smoke Knight''': Your Grace, with all ''respect'', von Blitzengard is ''good'' at this sort of thing. Better than ''any of us''. It's one of the reasons he was able to make ''his'' claim to the title ''stick''. }}
* [[Not So Different]]: Not that he's aware of it, but there's [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20140411 a scene] when he's wondering whether Euphrosynia Heterodyne had any genuine affection for the Storm King, and his wistful expression is '''very''' much like the one Tarvek shows at sentimental moments.
Line 991 ⟶ 996:
* [[Scars Are Forever]]: Has such an [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?&date=20110309 epic map of scars on his chest] that it can be mistaken for ''hair'' at first glance.
* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]]
{{quote|'''Higgs''': Uh--she--[[Blatant Lies|she ain't]] ''[[Blatant Lies|my]]'' [[Blatant Lies|Miss Zeetha, sir]].
'''Tarvek''': [[Deadpan Snarker|Oh, heaven forbid]]. I'm sure you'd desert your post and hare off to save ''any'' [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|green-haired]] [[Hot Amazon|amazon.]] }}
* [[Smoking Is Cool]]: That is one badass pipe.
