* [[The Cuckoolander Was Right]]: Cecil ''is'' able to detect metahumans, and was partially right about the "aliens". Of course, he also [http://ps238.nodwick.com/comic/01182010/ believed the teachers are disguised reptiloids]. While he was wrong about the teachers, check the next page.
* [[Curse Cut Short]]: Rastov [http://ps238.nodwick.com/comic/2015-02-09/ here].
* [[Cut Lex Luthor a Check]]: The Crystal Skull, an ex-supervillain,
* [[Deconstructor Fleet]]: Of the superhero genre.
* [[Did You Die?]]: "[http://ps238.nodwick.com/comic/03022012/ Dad...]"
Line 103 ⟶ 97:
* [[Face Palm]]: Frequently used by Ms. Kyle and the other teachers. And anyone around [http://ps238.nodwick.com/comic/09292014/ Forak].
* [[Fantastic Measurement System]]: The "Omega" scale. And the [[Magnificent Bastard|Vetinari]] [http://ps238.nodwick.com/comic/07072014/ scale].
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: {{spoiler|Argonians look down on everyone who does not have [[Flying Brick]] powers. Normal humans are treated as an
* [[Fantasy Kitchen Sink]]: As usual for a Superhero setting, they have [[Mutants]], [[Functional Magic|magic]], aliens, [[Physical God|gods]], beings from [[Another Dimension]], [[Time Travel|time travellers]], and [[Schizo-Tech]] galore.
* [[Fastball Special]]: [http://ps238.nodwick.com/comic/02122010/ Rockslide and Micro Might].
Line 257 ⟶ 251:
* [[Unusual Euphemism]] (mixed with [[Tongue-Tied]]): Whenever Zodon tries to cuss, the chip in his head causes him to say a random innocuous word instead. If he goes on a [[Cluster F-Bomb|rant-length obscenity crawl]], it switches into "Showtunes Mode"... "[[Oklahoma]]", for example. Or "[[Man of La Mancha]]"... Or "[[The Music Man]]". [[Lampshaded]] by Victor VonFogg once.[http://ps238.nodwick.com/comic/09162009/ "And you swear like a G-rated sailor."]

* [[We Can Rule Together]]: [http://ps238.nodwick.com/comic/05122014/ Victor once offered this], but Zodon is well aware of the implied ''sudden but inevitable betrayal'' part - "it ''dosn't'' fly with ''me''".
* [[What Does This Button Do?]]: [http://ps238.nodwick.com/comic/08062007/ Push buttons! Push buttons!]
* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?]] / [[Reed Richards Is Useless]]: Beautifully averted. The children in the [http://ps238.nodwick.com/comic/12262006/ Rainmaker program] are all in possession of powers that are pretty much useless when it comes to things like fighting crime or saving the world. However, the purpose of the program is to give them an opportunity to explore using their powers in the private sector. A perfect example is a kid who can make any object as edible and nutritious (and tasty) as he wants; he won't be fighting any supervillains any time soon, but several restaurant chains are already lined up to headhunt him. Not to mention the job offers from Hollywood for the one who can change the distribution of body fat in people.
