Line 17:
* [[And Your Little Dog, Too]]: In issue 35, an hour-long beating doesn't convince the Penguin to go along with Bane's plan; it's when Ragdoll threatens to feed his pet penguins to King Shark.
* [[Animal-Themed Superbeing]]: Cat-Man and King Shark.
* Anti-[[Villain Protagonist]]/[[Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes|Type V Antiheroes]]: Even the most psychotic of the Six are, to some extent, sympathetic characters, and the main practical difference between them and an average [[Nineties Anti -Hero]] vigilante is the fact that they generally fight (other) villains for profit. An exception to this rule is former member [[Token Evil Teammate|Cheshire]], who [[Gail Simone]] has [[Word of God|stated]] she always writes without any redeeming characteristics since she once [[Nuke'Em|killed a country]].
* [[Apologetic Attacker]]: Ragdoll often apologizes for killing people; once he apologized for not killing someone in their native tongue.
* [[Ascended Meme]]: In issue 35, King Shark sings his own version of the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-singing-shark "I'm a shaaaaark" song.]
Line 88:
** [[Word of God]] also confirms (at least one sided) sexual tension between Jeanette and [[Wonder Woman]], the former of whom has "hated/attraction with Amazons".
* [[Footsie Under the Table]]: [[The Baroness|Jeanette]] forgoes the table entirely, and just runs her bare foot up Deadshot's thigh from across the Six's transport.
* [[Full -Frontal Assault]]: Oh, so much. Catman's flashbacks, Junior, Bane... [[Gail Simone|the author]] has admitted to enjoying seeing how many ways she can get her characters naked.
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: [[Gail Simone]] has remembered that Bane is also a criminal genius, and he is starting to regain this status rather than being simple brute strength.
* [[Goofy Print Underwear]]: #11 gives us a look at the characters' nightclothes, and among others Scandal wears polka dot boyshorts while Ragdoll has a pair of yellow footie pajamas, complete with buttflap.
Line 125:
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Green Arrow thanks Catman for the heads-up on the Society's plan. Catman decks Green Arrow for pushing the villains by brainwashing villains who learn too much to the point where something like the Society is even possible.
* [[Nightmare Fetishist]]: Scandal, Parademon, Jeanette, Deadshot (sometimes) and definitely Ragdoll. We can add Black Alice to the list, being the first known person to find Ragdoll hot (well, in-universe, anyway).
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Scandal's new girlfriend Liana is a big [[Shout -Out]] to [[Name's the Same|Liana Kerzner]] - both are [[Hello, Nurse!|gorgeous]] [[Heroes Want Redheads|red-headed]] [[Cosplay|cosplayers]] who've dressed as Knockout.
* [[Non-Indicative Name]]: The team currently has ''eight'' members, and [[It Makes Sense in Context|when they are filming a commercial]] [[Lampshade Hanging|it is pointed out that their name does not make any sense anymore]].
* [[Not So Harmless]]:
Line 156:
** {{spoiler|Junior}}.
* [[Shoot the Fuel Tank]]: Deadshot does this {{spoiler|to a ''gunship''.}}
* [[Shout -Out]]:
** To [[Tiny Titans]] of all things, when Ragdoll has a dream involving a similar artstyle and using the catchphrase "Aw yeah".
** Issue 8 was titled "Double Date", the same titled as the ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'' episode [[Gail Simone]] wrote which was the closest the series ever got to ''[[Birds of Prey]]''.
Line 165:
* [[Take That]]: The controversial ''Titans'' tie-in to ''[[Brightest Day]]'' involved the villain Dwarfstar hiring Deathstroke to kill Ryan Choi, a character Gail Simone co-created with [[Grant Morrison]], and whom she wrote almost all the adventures of. As payback, Gail wrote a scene in issue #28 {{spoiler|where Giganta hospitalized Dwarfstar by way of torture.}}
* [[Taking You With Me]]: Parademon detonates his collection of Mother Boxes at the end of Villains United. In a tragic twist, while many, if not all their attackers survive, he perishes.
* [[Teeth -Clenched Teamwork]]
* [[Then Let Me Be Evil]]: Bane embraces villainy again after discovering he was damned.
* [[There Can Only Be One]]: Ragdoll loves his position as the team freak. He is willing to maim for it too.
Line 180:
** And Parademon actually WANTS to stay in hell.
* [[Trademark Favourite Food]]:
** Catman pretty much [[Rated "M" for Manly|lives off raw steak]].
** Ragdoll has a fondness for raw gelatin and he loves his taffy. So much so that he wants to be buried in it when he dies
** Based on Bane's comments on the subject, fans have [[Flanderisation|Flanderised]] Scandal into being an ice-cream addict.
