* SeriesContinuityError: Bull could have been rounding his age and years as a supervillain, but his stated age and years as a villain are irreconcilable with a textbook entry in the series. In ''Summer of Lob'', he arrives in Los Angeles in summer of 1969 and briefly mentions that he's 19. In ''[[Literature/PleaseDontTellMyParentsImASupervillain Supervillain]]'', he mentions being sixty years old, during December. This places the series as beginning in winter of 2009-2010 or 2010-2011, depending on the season of his birthday. Reinforced in ''[[Literature/PleaseDontTellMyParentsIveGotHenchmen Henchmen]]'', he says he was a villain for 40 years. Since this is before summer, this also puts the main books as starting 2009-2010. However, also in ''Henchmen'', a class textbook mentions some statues last seen in ''2011''.
