{{tropelist}}
* [[Ace Pilot]]: All of them.
* [[Action Girl]]: All of them. Unusually for comic books of the era, none of the girls on the team have "passive" specialties as their primary skill or power.
Line 38:
* [[Improbable Piloting Skills]]: All of them. They are particularly good at improvisation, such as (for example) disabling an enemy plane by dropping an empty external fuel tank on it.
* [[Knockout Gas]]: Jet uses a compact full of "Kayo Powder" with a similar effect.
* [[Mata Hari]]: All of them.▼
* [[Nebulous Evil Organization]]: CIPHER, whose symbol is a zero, making it perhaps the most generic organization of its kind.
* [[Overt Operative]]: The girls all work as Hollywood stuntwomen, but their other jobs seem to be public knowledge, and they don't hide their identities. (But at least their [[Home Base]] is well-hidden.)
* [[Parachute Petticoat]]: The Stunt-Girls are prepared for anything, including being unexpectedly thrown from a cliff, as Marlene demonstrates with her "Tunic Chute."
* [[Poirot Speak]]: Marlene and Petite.
* [[She Fu]]: Jet and the other Stunt-Girls engage in a lot of acrobatics in their fights (but aren't afraid of old-fashioned fisticuffs either.)
* [[Shoe Phone]]: The girls have a wide array of spy gadgets and weapons, almost invariably disguised as stereotypically "girly" items, such as:

* [[Stunt Double]]: The somewhat inexplicable second occupation of the team members.
* [[Take That]]: It might be pure coincidence, but on the cover of ''Jet Dream'' #1, it kind of looks like Jet and her team are clobbering the [https://web.archive.org/web/20111220144330/http://www.mister8.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/thundersquad.jpg T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Squad] from Tower Comics' ''[[T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents|THUNDER Agents]]'' comics, which would have been direct competitors at the time of publication.
* [[Those Wacky Nazis]]: Marlene is attacked by Nazi agents who want to get back at her father, who worked against Hitler during the war.
* [[Wacky Racing]]: In "The Powder Puff Derby Caper," Jet joins an all-female Honolulu-to-San Francisco air race. It's used by Raven Red to ambush Jet.
