* [[Badass Finger Snap]]: Found in Episode 3 ''SHADOWLAWLESS'' when Nash reveals his suspicions that his C.O. is a Shadowlaw spy. Cue [[Crowning Music of Awesome|Action Music]] as three, fully armored troops leap away from Nash, turn-off their stealth camouflage, and efficiently surround a shocked {{spoiler|Jill Valentine}}, weapons hot.

* [[Black and Grey Morality]]: The Exiles are the good guys----no doubt. But under Johnny's leadership, they are the heroes that aren't heroes. They police Multiverse through whatever means necessary. They never take prisoners, go to great lengths to ensure non-Exile individuals NEVER learn of the existence of Multiverse, and are forbidden from interfering with events that are fixed moments in time----like the utter destruction of Stryker's entire homeworld. And since Johnny Cage sees sentient life through [[Hobbes Was Right|crap-colored glasses]], he has no remorse for his actions and those of his team. This almost always puts him at direct odds with the group. Nevertheless, even they have to admit, [[The Chessmaster|he kind of knows what he's doing.]] That----and [[Pay Evil Unto Evil|the Acolytes have it coming.]]
