Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Acceptable Targets: A major story arc has Max beating up "The Diamonds," a group of Plutonian-worshipping white supremacists.
  • Alternative Character Interpretation: Oh boy. Both Plutonian and Max are complex enough to give us several different takes on them, and to some extend they all might be true. Other popular subjects are Survivor, Quibit, Modeus, Hornet, Jailbait and Alana.
  • Complete Monster:
    • The Plutonian seems to be devoted to becoming the biggest one of these he can be, outdoing even Kid Miracleman in villainy. And is having fun at that.
    • It seems Modeus is one of these as well, considering his recent actions, such as possessing already lobotomised Samsara and raping Plutonian..
  • Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: In Incorruptible #23, during their brawl Plutonian demands to know why Max isn't afraid of him. Max tells him that it's because Tony's Face Heel Turn convinced him to try to become a better person...and he wants to thank Tony. This honest gratitude is one of the reasons Plutonian agrees to leave Coalville alone.
  • Moral Event Horizon:
    • The first thing we see the Plutonian do is incinerate a mother and baby -- and that's not even the first atrocity he's committed. He shows no sign of slowing down.
    • Max Damage, in the spin-off comic Incorruptible, is doing his best to be a hero despite the fact that he passed his Moral Event Horizon years ago and never looked back until now.
        • Even then, Max was about to cross the line by unleashing a supervirus that may have killed even him when the Plutonian showed up. Max thought the Plutonian was there to stop him before the Plutonian killed everyone in sight.
    • Chronologically, Tony likely passed the Moral Event Horizon when he destroyed Sky City and lobotomized Samsara.
  • Nightmare Fuel: An alien virus that killed only children, melting the flesh and muscle and animating the skeletons. As if that weren't scary enough, it's sound-based and travels on their screams.
    • Just to be clear: not only the victim's screams, but the screams of anyone else who sees them.
  • What an Idiot!:
    • After capturing the invulnerable, godlike Plutonian in a straightjacket cloned from his own skin and trapping him in a Lotus Eater Machine, what do the Vespa do with him...? They release him to use as an asteroid miner.
    • Gilgamos killing Survivor due to thinking that it'd give his brother all of his power; unfortunately, Survivor was the source of the power, meaning that the last sibling is powerless. He probably wouldn't have done it had he known, but inadvertently killing one of the planets only hope left lands him this entry.
