Line 57:
** More recent storylines have included prehistoric [[Captain Ersatz]] versions of the [[Visionaries]], [[Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors]], the [[Centurions]], [[G.I. Joe]]'s Cobra (Earlier, one of Dark Bird's crew is a former member), and [[Strawberry Shortcake]] and [[Rainbow Brite]] as a psi-bard and prism battle priestess, respectively. Fred ''likes'' his Captain Ersatzes.
** The whole series sometimes appears to thrive on this, from species to certain characters.
** Agent M's former identity, Miracle, is described by one character as "movin' faster than '''bullets'''... stoppin' '''trains'''... and leapin' sky-scrapers with '''one hop'''...." Gosh, [[Sarcasm Mode|I wonder]] who [[Superman|he]] is.
* [[The Chessmaster]]: Gothwrain; Dreadwing; Ancient Gina
* [[Clark Kenting]]: Agency Zero, especially Agent M, formerly the most recognizable hero on Earth. Pinky & The Cheets.
Line 106 ⟶ 107:
* [[Kudzu Plot]]: A pretty bad case, highlighted by the fact that the websites hawking the comic often contain cover previews and summaries for upcoming issues… but then Fred gets an itch to go growing the plot in some other direction entirely, and the previewed issues often have completely different covers and subjects, with the original plots dropped to be completed off-camera, if that.
** Lately, however, a good portion of those storylines have begun to be tied together to the [[Myth Arc]]. (See below.)
* [[Laser-Guided Karma]]: Dreadwing "absorbed" two were-rats, [[Mickey Mouse|Miki and Mynny]], in order to steal their [[Born Lucky|extraordinary good luck]]<ref>A bad choice had made them vulnerable despite their luck factor, which he admitted he couldn't have overcome otherwise.</ref>. But then he {{spoiler|encountered Britanny, and}} discovered he'd also absorbed something '''else''' from them. As Miki's ghost explained, while Dreadwing lay trembling in the fetal position, [[Blank White Eyes|eyes wide in terror]]:
{{quote|'''Miki''': You are now thinking about the {{spoiler|"were-cheetah doom gaze..."}} a '''soul's terror''' that strikes at the heart of '''all were-rats'''... or, apparently... the hearts of all '''demi-dragons''' who have absorbed the essences of two sweet, innocent '''were-rat thieves'''! The stark, agonizing fear effect can last anywhere from '''two minutes''' to a '''whoooole week'''! Have '''fun''' with that.}}
* [[Lawyer-Friendly Cameo]]
* [[Leeroy Jenkins]]: [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Team Noob]], ridiculously over-armed leprechauns with no idea where they are, what they are doing, what their mission is, how to operate their equipment, or how to not blow themselves up in 5 seconds, but using binoculars and bazookas backwards hasn't slowed down their enthusiasm yet. The ''GD Tangent'' [[Web Comic]] has a similar setup as the [[Trope Namer]], with a [[Shout-Out]] as well.
Line 116 ⟶ 119:
* [[Lovable Sex Maniac]]: Britanny (until her marriage), and Gina. Ironically, the latter used to be a [[Geek|Geeky]] [[Shrinking Violet]], until her [[The Ladette|more outgoing]] sister Britanny had enough of her reclusive attitude and, to make a long story short, broke her out of her box. The result? Gina became "boy-crazy" ''[[Up to Eleven|by "boy-crazy extraordinaire" Britanny's personal standards]]''. The latter doesn't know whether or not she should regret "helping" her sister.
{{quote|'''Britanny:''' '''You've gotta be joking!!!''' You're '''gorgeous'''! Look at you! Look at '''''these'''''! <{{smallcaps|[[Skinship Grope|HOIST]]}}>
'''Gina''': '''Eek!''' (Narrating): "I remember thinking: 'Jinkies! [[Big Breasts, Big Deal|Where did]] ''[[Big Breasts, Big Deal|those]]'' [[Big Breasts, Big Deal|come from]]'?"
'''Britanny:''' Do you know how many gals would '''kill''' for [[Buxom Is Better|a nice, firm set]] like '''yours'''??? What man wouldn't fall all over himself just to get to '''talk''' to you? From now on, when you think of guys, think of broad, masculine chests...! ''(Gina looks "bewildered")'' Strong, handsome buns!! Hard, rugged muscles...! ''(A small smile graces Gina's lips)'' And all of the warm, yummy things you can do with them...! ''(Gina's face breaks into a full-blown, "Uh-oh"-worthy [[Cheshire Cat Grin]].)''
'''Brianna (narrating):''' I remember a sharp change in Gina's attitude toward men that moment. (And her being '''boy-crazy''' ever since.) }}
** Brianna may have gained both of their sex drives combined, as [[Crowning Moment of Funny|she used to chain her panicked boyfriend to the bed to have her way with him]].
** [[Rule of Funny|Xane is the most extreme of all, as she regularly drools while taking concealed clothes-removing x-ray photographs of any attractive male within sight]]. She is getting some [[Laser-Guided Karma]] from [[Les Yay|Crush]], though<ref>After having accidentally planted her face in the other woman's crotch. Crush pretends to believe it was deliberate, and now calls Xane "Sweet lips."</ref>.
* [[Magic From Technology]]: Gina eventually gains a working knowledge of draconic magic by analyzing extradimensional technology.
* [[Meat-O-Vision]]: Britanny experiences this when Tark's [[Charm Person]] spell misfires in the "Time Raft" OVA.
