* [[Hot Shounen Mom]]: Elodie. Ivanka also counts, {{spoiler|in the short span of time in which she was seen in Episode III.}}
* [[Identical Grandson|Identical Son]]: Alec and Jake were so similar at first, but this was changed when Jake was given a little beard.
* [[Intercontinuity Crossover]]: SpyHunter's crossover fanfics with [[Totally Spies!]]. Contains copious amounts of [[Take That]].
* [[It Is Pronounced "Tro-PAY"]]: A recent bonus chapter featured Alec having difficulty pronouncing Khina's name.
** For those unfamiliar with Persian / Arabic, "Kh" is a glottal sound, like the "Ch" in German or Hebrew, or the "J" in Spanish. It is not (commonly) found in English... [[Lampshade Hanging|Or French... Or Japanese.]]
Line 128:
* [[The Seventies]]: Episode I takes place mainly in 1978.
* [[The Unpronounceable]]: Alec has trouble pronouncing Khina's name in the Episode I bonus chapter, since the glottal 'kh' sound does not occur in (American) English.
* [[Unholy Matrimony]]: Boris married Khina during the events of Episode II.
* [[Unwanted Harem]]: It's not ''his'' harem, but Alec refuses to fall for the advances of Khina and the other girls.
* [[Why Don't Ya Just Shoot Him]]: Averted by Alec. After their first few encounters, his way of greeting Boris involves shooting him in the head. {{spoiler|It never works. It even gets lampshaded: "You should have learned by now, that will never work on me... Comrade Alec." "Always worth a try."}}
