Line 34:
* [["Growing Muscles" Sequence]]: Some superheroes are shown "pumping ions" to gain bulk.
* [[Gorn]]
* [[I Can Live With That]]:
{{quote|'''Marshal Law:''' A lot of people say I'm a uniformed thug, no better than the scum I hunt down...a fascist cop...a glorified Nazi...a legalized vigilante, handing out his own highly suspect street "justice"... someone with a pathological hatred of superheroes, reveling at the chance to beat the hell out of them. That sounds fair. I can live with that.}}
* [[Knight Templar]]: Marshal Law himself, [[I Can Live With That|and as the above quote shows]], he's perfectly fine with being labeled as such, implied to be due to his own self-loathing.
* [[Hollywood California]]: Subverted, as sometime prior to the story's setting, San Francisco has been hit by a huge earthquake which largely destroyed the city, leaving miles of it still in ruins for years afterward.
* [[Legacy Character]]: The American Spirit has [[The Golden Age of Comic Books|Golden Age]], modern, and outer space incarnations that have all run afoul of Marshall Law.
Line 41 ⟶ 44:
* [[Once an Episode]]: At least once an issue, Marshal Law says his catchphrase.
* [[Putting on the Reich]]: As the [[The Golden Age of Comic Books|Golden Age]] heroes note, Marshall Law's costume resembles that of a Super-[[Nazi]].
* [[Subverted Catchphrase]]: At the end of "Kingdom of the Blind", after Kiloton's [[Heroic Sacrifice]]:
{{quote|'''Marshal Law:''' I'm a hero hunter. I hunt heroes. [[Due to the Dead| I guess ''maybe'' I found ''one'']].}}
* [[Super Serum]] / [[Psycho Serum]]: Hyperman, a parody of Hourman (who used pills to get his powers), snuffs a mysterious powder and injects a dodgy liquid into his arm to get his. There's also the serum used by Doctor Shocc to create most of the heroes to begin with, which also drove them into murderous insanity.
* [[Thou Shalt Not Kill]]: Played with by Private Eye, a Batman expy. He absolutely forbids killing his enemies. He states he will "main, mutiliate, electrocute, gas, or burn them." But he'll ''never'' kill them.
