Line 24:
* [[Franchise Killer]]: Dead on arrival, unfortunately.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Besides the obvious one of XIII/ {{spoiler|Jason Fly}}, several of the SPADS are voiced by Crispin Freeman.
** Not to mention [[Adam West]] as Carrington.
* [[Hostage Situation]]: If you sneak up on an unsuspecting individual, you can grab them and shuffle around with them. Enemies won't shoot at you if you're pointed right at them with the hostage, and you can even shoot past your hostage.
** At one point, a nurse tells you to take her hostage to get past the guards, since she found out about Johannsenn (and was locked in a room with a zombie to die. Okay, so it was a retarded patient, but...)
* [[Immune to Bullets]]: The Attack Chopper boss is vulnerable only to RPGs.
* [[Indecisive Medium]]: The main gimmick of the game is that it's like a comic book.
* [[In Love with the Mark]]
* [[Made of Iron]]: The Mongoose. And not just in the game, but in the comics as well.
Line 40:
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: Prior to the game's release, someone from a review magazine once asked a developer for this game in an interview, "How are you supposed to pronounce the protagonist's name: 'X-I-I-I', or '[[Critical Research Failure|Eight]]'?" The developer's response was to [[Beat Panel|blink a few times]] and reply, "You're supposed to pronounce it 'Thirteen'."
* [[Standard FPS Guns]]: Although there are a few changes, including the harpoon gun for fighting underwater, and the bazooka's secondary attack (bonking people over the head with rockets). The rest stay the same, though you can dual wield pistols and sub-machine guns.
* [[Stealth
* [[Stillborn Franchise]]: Both the game and the television series.
* [[Tap on the Head]]: Ashtrays, bottles, chairs, brooms, just about whatever came to hand knocked out anyone good.
** [[Boom! Headshot!]]: A comic book-style freeze frame insert panel will pop up whenever you get a one-hit-takedown (ranged or melee.) Especially satisfying if you stick something ''through'' their head like a crossbow bolt or glass shard.
* [[Thirteen Is Unlucky]]: Well, his life ain't easy.
* [[Timed Mission]]
* [[Extreme Graphical Representation]], [[Hollywood Hacking]], [[Magic Floppy Disk]] .. all surprisingly averted in the live action adaption, which contains a surprisingly accurate IP renewal scene, use of ''Opera'' as a web browser, a micro SD card... however it does have a [[Highly Visible Password]], subverted a bit in that the card with the password is actually a trap with no useful data on it, and would destroy itself after 3 failed login attempts. [[The Password Is Always Swordfish]] is lampshaded, in that the password is ''Cuttlefish''.
