* [[The Archer]]: Shaft's primary weapons are bows and arrows, but he's also very proficient with firearms.
** Though for some reason his bow doesn't always need a string...
Line 18 ⟶ 17:
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: Most of the characters Liefeld created (most notably, Shaft was clearly Speedy from the Titans. There were MULTIPLE [[Wolverine|Wolverines]], like Cougar and Troll).
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Johnny Panic, "the world's first post-modern superhero" (though he would later insist he's now ''post'' post modern).

* [[Proud Warrior Race Guy]]
Line 46 ⟶ 45:
* [[Twofer Token Minority]]: Big Brother from Alan Moore's run, a paraplegic black kid.
* [[West Coast Team]]: "Home" and "Away" teams. Later "Youngblood" and "''Team'' Youngblood".
* [[Who Would Want to Watch Us?]]: Invoked in the most recent revival, where the team was reformed and given a reality TV show.
* [[Writing Around Trademarks]]: In the team's first appearance, Badrock's codename was "Bedrock". One legal threat from Time-Warner later, the name was changed.
* [[Younger Than They Look]]: Badrock is a 12 foot tall rock monster. At the start of the original series he's in his very early teens.
