H.I.V.E. Series: Difference between revisions

* [[Extranormal Institute]]: H.I.V.E.

* [[Facial Recognition Software]]: Overwatch.

* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: Raven has one running over her left cheek.

* {{spoiler|[[Grand Theft Me]]: Number One's plan for Otto...}}

* [[Hell-Bent for Leather]]: Raven, and technically Verity and Constance, but they are more [[Knight Templar]] than anything else. That, and the fact that they are just far less awesome in comparison to Natalya.

* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]: Raven's original swords; they get upgraded into [[Absurdly Sharp Blade|AbsurdlySharpBlades]] of glowing purple doom in The Overlord Protocol.

* [[Killed Off for Real]]: While a [[Not Quite Dead]] might have been the norm in earlier book, given how dark the series has been getting of late it looks like {{spoiler|Lucy}} is staying buried. (Mind you given that many of the fans are of the opinion that the [[First Law of Resurrection]] is considerably helped along by emailing the author a picture of a pointy stick, it may not be long be they start digging.)

* [[Mad Scientist]]: Professor Pike (could also be combined with [[Absent-Minded Professor]]).

* [[Man-Eating Plant]]: Violet.

* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Dr. Nero, Contessa Sinestre, Raven, Diabolus Darkdoom.

* [[Ninja]]: Otto calls Wing one in Escape Velocity.

* [[Nuclear Weapons Taboo]]: Sooooooooo inverted - just look at the finales of Dreadnought and {{spoiler|Zero Hour}}

* [[Older Than They Look]]: Dr. Nero.

* [[Photographic Memory]]: Otto, to an extreme.

* [[Recursive Ammo]]: Megladon's torpedoes do this. and it's awesome.

* [[Russian Guy Suffers Most|Russian Girl Suffers Most]]: Raven: Shot in the thigh, dropped off the Millennium Wheel (and probably half drowned in the process), knocked unconscious with an electric floor mop, foot long spike through her shoulder, shot at again, kicked, beaten and generally abused by a military psycho....

** To be honest, the series started on the whole premise of taking villain stereotypes and exploring them further, so consequently the books are littered with (usually subtle) nods to the villains of real world fiction.

* [[Sink or Swim Mentor]]: While Nero generally tries to keep students out of the real danger, he seems to have no problem with sending newly-arrived students who are joining the upper years on the same dangerous survival exercises as their well-trained classmates.
