Line 94:
* [[Chessmaster]]: Mephisto's been manipulating everything.
* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]: The Marvels of the dead who don't know they're deceased have their costume colors rendered negative. Those who do know - and have ascended to Paradise - retain their natural color. Usually, anyway.
* [[Counterpart Comparison]]: Previous Trope Namer, when it was called "Why Does Everyone Think I'm Deadpool"
* [[Dead to Begin With]]: The many dead heroes fight for paradise. They can only be defeated if they believe they're alive.
** Also, [[Moon Knight]], Marlene Alraune, the Living Mummy, and everyone else brought back by the Reanimator Stone. They just never knew it.
Line 115 ⟶ 116:
* [[Shout-Out]]: "Why does Death come on wings? Why not [[Discworld|as a skeleton?]] Or in [[Sandman|the form of a teenage girl?"]]
** [[Monty Python and the Holy Grail|"None shall pass."]]
* [[Superman Stays Out of Gotham]]: An interesting attempt to [[Justified Trope|justify]] one of the bigger examples of this in the Marvel Universe; one charatercharacter suggests that the reason the [[X-Men]] and the other superheroes kept on butting heads rather than working together more often is that the major dark forces of the world - strongly implied to include Mephisto, and other such demonic entities - manipulated events to play up anti-mutant prejudices so as to keep them apart.
* [[Temporal Paradox]]: Apparently, this is how alternate universes are made.
* [[Timey-Wimey Ball]]
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: The Absorbing Man. In fact, he destroyed a third of the world's population. (The Avengers keep it quiet.)
* [[Why Does Everyone Think I'm Deadpool]]: Trope namer.
* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]: Not really, but the new Inhumanity works very hard to keep their new power, and are prepared to kill anyone who would take that away.
* [[Wolverine Publicity]]: Subverted, as he's hardly in the story at all.
