Line 6:
* '''Jane Mighty''': Her maiden name was Jane S. Weapons, a pun on the "Janes Weapons" reference books.
* '''Summer Mighty''': She has superpowers, her brother doesn't. Some are mighty, some aren't.
** [[Word of God]] has it that her middle name is "Bourne", a [[Shout -Out]] to [[The Zeroth Law of Trope Examples|Shakespeare]]'s ''Twelfth Night''.
* '''Steve Mighty''': Averted; he's a normal guy with a normal name.
 
Line 27:
* '''Cameron Odious''': Mel's older brother, big and muscular. "Cam Odious" is pun on "commodious" meaning large.
* '''Mecha-Nichole''': A reformed villain who has a "mechanical" head. Previously she was Dr. Nichole Endyme ("nickel and dime").
* '''Dr. Weirdlike''': A [[Shout -Out]] to [[Doctor Strangelove]]. His first name, Winslow, is another [[Shout -Out]] to "The Winslow", a smiling creature that shows up in the works of [[Phil Foglio]].
* '''Marilee Unpleasant''': The daughter of villain Dr. Unpleasant. Her name is an oxymoron; she tends to behave unpleasantly rather than merrily.
** Not really. She is unpleasant for her own merriment.
