Line 29:
* [[Blood Knight]]: Gunnar.
* [[Brain Uploading]]: Mostly in the original, though not unseen in newer incarnations.
* [[I Cannot Self -Terminate]]: In the Rogue continuity, Rogue encounters a interesting version of the trope, a super soldier prototype (a predecessor of himself) waiting out in the wilderness to die a death of old age, seeing it as dignified and declaring that "suicide ain't my style". Rogue subsequently {{spoiler|holds off a Nort assault force in order to give the old man his wish, the narrative stating openly that it's something he wants for himself one day.}}
** Friday attempts suicide, but finds that he's been genetically programmed to be unable to do so.
* [[Canon Dis Continuity]]: The crossover between the original Rogue and Friday.
Line 38:
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: A particularly bad one is the main villain in the Friday continuity.
* [[Death World]]: Nu Earth. Very much Nu Earth.
* [[Dress -Coded for Your Convenience]]: It's readily apparent who's on what side.
* [[Elite Mooks]]: Most notably the Kashan Legion. Hard, ruthless bastards who all but annihilated the G.I. Regiment. Granted, they had some help, but that's still pretty [[Badass Normal]].
* [[Fan of the Past]]: A dark version of this trope occurred in the ''[[Rogue Trooper]]'' story "Fort Neuro". Rogue arrived at the titular fort, hoping to find shelter and some time to let the biochips calm down. However, the stress of holding off a Nort siege for years coupled with isolation due to their sanity slipping, causing the four garrisons to degenerate into [[Parodies]] of Napoleonic France, a 50s British seaside resort, a group of disco freaks, and wannabe supermodels. Rogue and the robots eventually managed to knock some sense into them.
Line 51:
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: Bio-wire, semi-sentient barbed wire which seeks out human targets, punches through their chem-suits, and tears them apart from the inside.
** Also exude flesh eating acid
* [[Spin -Off]]: A couple, notably ''Venus Bluegenes'', which follows the female GI of the same name, and ''Mercy Heights'', about a GI ambulance driver.
** More recently, ''The 86ers'' focused on a squadron of pilots based in the Acoma system.
* [[Recycled in Space]]: [[The American Civil War]] with the Southers as the Confederate and the Norts and the Union.
Line 64:
* [[Those Two Bad Guys]]: Bland and Brass, body-looters and war profiteers.
* [[Those Wacky Nazis|Those Wacky Norts]]
* [[The Un -Reveal]]: Its never identified which of the four Souther Generals was the Traitor due to massive facial disfigurement
** Although it's a bit of a moot point, since the three innocent generals are all killed when the Traitor sabotages the satellite they were on. His escape doesn't go as smoothly as planned, leading to the aforementioned disfigurement.
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: All G.I.'s as they aren't given shirts before going into combat.
