Long story short, it is the story of your average Top Secret, [[Plausible Deniability|Quasi]] [[Government Conspiracy|Governmental R&D Project]] creating [[Ridiculously -Human Robots|semi-autonomous artificially intelligent limited-nanofunction humanform mecha constructs]] for covert ops missions to destroy OTHER Top-Secret, [[Plausible Deniability|Quasi]] [[Government Conspiracy|Governmental R&D Projects]] within the [[Marvel Universe]].
 
More specifically, it's the story of "Stem Cell", an [[Ordinary High School Student|Ordinary Teenage Girl]] who wakes up one day with no idea why she's taking part in a raid on a Top-Secret, Quasi-Governmental R&D Project -- or why she's so unnaturally calm about everything -- until she vomits up a component for a [[BFG]] and learns that she's a <s>robot</s> mecha, and the newest agent of Project:Livewire. And it's the story of how she comes to terms with these facts.

* [[Nanomachines]]: The basis for [[Applied Phlebotinum|Smartware]]
* [[N-Word Privileges]]: Something of a [[Double Subversion]], the Livewires team themselves use the word 'mecha' as slang for other [[A Is]] but take offense to anyone fellow 'mecha' or not referring to one of them as 'robot'.
* [[Orphan's Plot Trinket]]: Something of a subversion {{spoiler|Stem Cell's glasses, being that the are a bunch of [[Self -Made Orphan|self made orphans]].}}
* [[Secret Project Refugee Family]]
* [[Plucky Girl]]: Social Butterfly.
* [[Posthumous Character]]: "Homebrew," Stem Cell's predecessor as the manufacturer for electronic parts.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]
* [[Restraining Bolt]]: The Livewires are programmed to be suicidally loyal to the mission of Project Livewire. However, while their loyalty to the project is ironclad, what that project is defined as is not, as their designer notes during a flashback in the final issue.
* [[Ridiculously -Human Robots]]
* [[Robot Girl]]
* [[The Stoic]]: Arguably Hollowpoint Ninja. Gothic Lolita and Cornfed might also qualify if not for the fact that Cornfed, while quite calm, is amicable and polite, and Gothic Lolita's tendency to be both aloof and quirky.
