Line 9:
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Profesor von Slickstein, the man who gave Gadget his gadgets, is now a recurring character, being the [[Gadgeteer Genius]] for HQ.
* [[Card-Carrying Villain]]: Dr. Claw. Talon often expresses exasperation at Claw's more dramatic flourishes.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: Gadget has "Wowsers!" and "You know, I happen to be an expert in/at..."
** Dr. Claw has "I'll get you next time, Gadget!"
* [[Competence Zone]]: Penny and Brain are joined by Talon on the villain's side. Talon is usually much more practical-minded than Claw (though his plans never work either, of course).
* [[Continuity Nod]]: It's clear that the show's creators paid attention when they watched the original.
Line 16 ⟶ 18:
* [[Foil]]: Much as Penny has been (and remains) Gadget's competent niece, Talon is the usually-more-competent nephew of Dr. Claw.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Professor von Slickstein invents an "armor-wear" pair of underwear which functions as the [[MacGuffin]] of one episode. It projects a powerful force field, but strips von Slickstein of the rest of his clothing. When asked her opinion, Penny agrees that it's impressive, but says that she probably wouldn't use it herself...
* [[Modern Major-General]]: Gadget is quite talented as a stage magician and whale-singer. Inspecting? Not so much.
* [[Sequel Series]]
* [[Ship Tease]]: Penny and Talon. They're both attracted to each other, although Penny tries to ignore her feelings when on the job.
