Jewel of Darkness: Difference between revisions

* [[Karma Houdini]]: {{spoiler|Unlike canon, Mad Mod isn't captured by the Titans when they escape his "school", instead escaping and promising to return.}}

* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: Jinx gets what may be one of the funniest examples of lampshade hanging ever when, after a string of failed attempts to find of method of flight, she utters this gem:

** While explaining to Ai how she intends to turn the Titans [[Divided We Fall|against each other]], Midnight points out how heroes normally use the same tactic [[Enemy Civil War|against villains]].

** Beast Boy lampshades the [[Collapsing Lair]] trope when Midnight's lair begins to self-destruct:

** Same chapter, Robin explains why he thinks Midnight survived:

** When Terra expresses surprise that Jump City has a diamond mine, Cyborg states that the city has a lot of stuff, and that he sometimes still gets surprised. This most likely is in reference to the fact that the city's layout on the show often seemed to change depending on the needs of each episode.

* [[Lethal Chef]]: Starfire, as per canon. But so is Jinx, as shown in the [[Day in the Life]] chapter. Incidentally, they're also the only ones who enjoy each other's cooking.

** The title of the chapter where Mad Mod first appears contains a reference to ''[[A Clockwork Orange (film)|A Clockwork Orange]]'', which was the [[Star-Making Role]] for Mod's voice actor [[Malcolm McDowell]].

* [[Skeletons in the Coat Closet]]: {{spoiler|Following Ai's betrayal, and subsequent execution by a vengeful Slade, Midnight takes to wearing her remnants as armor.}}

{{spoiler|"No," Midnight shook her head, smiling.}} }}

* [[The Starscream]]: {{spoiler|Ai, as it turns out, is working for Trigon, and has been plotting behind Midnight's back for awhile. This finally culminates in her leading the Titans to her lair, and cutting off any chance of backup.}}

* [[Whip It Good]]: Midnight [[Dual Wield|Dual Wields]] a pair of metal whips that she channels her power through. They're alluded to a couple of times during the story, but are only actually used during the fight in her lair {{spoiler|until Jinx blows them up}}.

** Beast Boy actually lampshades what an unusual weapon choice this is.

* [[Wicked Cultured]]: Midnight takes the time, before initiating her master plan, to toast it with her minions.

** In a flashback, Raven is shown attending a production of "[[Faust]]" and reading "[[The Count of Monte Cristo]]" while waiting for it to start.
