{{quote|'''Gert''': ''What? How is it possible that parents lied to us? Let's see: Santa, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, um, '''God.''' "You're the prettiest kid in school. This won't hurt a bit. Your face will freeze like that..."''

Not to be confused with ''[[wikipedia:The Runaways (film)|The Runaways]]'', a film starring [[Dakota Fanning]] and [[Kristen Stewart]], or the [[The Runaways|real-life band]] that the film is based on. To avoid this confusion, the upcoming film has been retitled ''Small Faces'', which ironically is the name of [[The Small Faces|another band]]. A [http://smallfacescasting.com/ casting call] has gone out for a movie based on the series.

* [[Actually a Doombot]]: Played with. {{spoiler|We're set up to think that Dr Doom is Victor's dad. Then it turns out to be a Doombot, but one controlled by a completely different supervillain instead of the real Doom.}}

* [[Adults Are Useless]]: The story is an homage to every teen angst film ever made, as in the initial arc all adults are either direct minions of the Pride or under their influence by more subtle means. Numerous heroes appear in the later arcs who, if not incompetent in their own areas, are nonetheless unable to help the main characters because of their attempts to treat them as [[Just a Kid|just children]].
