While we can use redirects (e.g. Abusive Dad and Big Sister Instinct and Cute Monster Boy), we're not supposed to edit trope names. Also, Kill Em All is no longer a trope.

* [[AbusiveParent Abusive Dad]]: Of the gender-inverted WickedStepmother variety. Although he isn't really cruel to Mimi, Dexter is noticeably cold and distant to his stepdaughter. From what is shown about him, he treats Mimi pretty much like a tool for her precognitive powers and is basically confiding her away in the lab, although as to not let any villains kidnap or telepathically kill her. According to General Specific, he isn't protecting Mimi from the world, but the world ''from'' her if HIM were to ever gets his claws on her.

* SexuallyTransmittedSuperpowers: Mandy marries TheGrimReaper himself after growing up - and even before then, the fact that he's in love with her grants her virtual immortality simply by virtue of the fact that he ''refuses to reap her''. It's never made entirely clear how powerful she's gotten since then, but she's widely regarded as the single-most feared entity in the netherworld...

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* GildedCage: [[UpToEleven The Nephilim]]. [[spoiler: It maximized the effectiveness of Mimi's precognitive abilities to stop meta-human crimes and protected her from all manner of attacks, but drained her in every way. She'd be completely helpless if separated from the machine. While Dexter didn't like it and [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] her position as a "caged bird", he kept her protected for the sake of the superhero community. This being Mimi's flashback, [[ForegoneConclusion we know how]] [[DownerEnding that turns out.]] ]]

* AbusiveParents: Unsurprising, considering who it is. While Mandy does love her children, and will occasionally show a PetTheDog moment with them, she is no less cruel and cold towards them than anyone else when it comes to getting her way. More recent comics reveal that she put Minnie through a literal TrainingFromHell to hone her fighting skills, and that ''she'' is the reason for Junior's previous animosity towards Minnie by making it look like Minnie was purposefully antagonizing him.

Added DiffLines:

* RedHerring: When she first appeared in the comic, Raven seemed like one of the most obvious contender's as Mimi's mother (Mimi's quiet demeanor, [[HistoryRepeats being the daughter of a devil]],the similar hairstyle). Added that Mimi only started to call for her mother as soon as Raven was hurt. A few pages later Raven outright confirms that this isn't the case and Mimi's real mother arrives on scene. This is [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in the comic itself.
