Line 24:
* [[Great Gazoo]]: Mister Hoppy.
* [[Killer Rabbit]]: Mister Hoppy
* [[Nineties Anti -Hero]]: Deconstructed with the Psychotic Seven [[Insistent Terminology|(though they call themselves the Justicars)]]-by the time the game's "main" time period rolls around, they've been classified as a supervillain group after their thirst for justice at any price lead them to attempt an armed takeover of the US.
* [[Omnidisciplinary Scientist]]: Averted. Most of the scientists in the setting have areas of special concern. Red King=Genetics, General Venom=Robotics, etc.
* [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent]]: Subverted with the House of Serpents-they ''are'' a terrorist organization with superpowered members, but when it comes down to it, they're not even the most evil of the [[Anti-Villain]] groups.
* [[Patriotic Fervor]]: Deconstructed with General Venom and the House of Serpents; They honestly love America, which is why they plan to overthrow the government-they think it's long since mutated into a form that the Founding Fathers would be disgusted with.
* [[Public Domain Character]]: [[Dracula]] is a major villain. Dame Michelle Holmes of the Foundation for World Harmony (the SHIELD/Checkmate organisation) is a descendent of [[Sherlock Holmes]], whereas the Death Masks (and Black Wing II) are descended from James Moriarty. Death Mask's equivalent of Latveria is the original [[Ruritania]] from ''[[The Prisoner of Zenda]]''.
* [[Shout -Out]]: Lots.
** Antaeus is a shout-out to the Golden Age Superman. Ditto, Graywing to the Golden Age Batman.
** Athena is a shout-out to Wonder Woman.
