* CanonDiscontinuity: Morrison's Bulleteer made a number of cameos in other stories after hers ended. The catch? She quit superheroing in the last issue of her series. It's most egregious when she appears in an incarnation of the Justice League seen in the series 52...a series co-written by Morrison himself!
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The panel where Lance's smartware begins to spread to Alix and the look on her face.
* MortalityPhobia: Alix Harrower got her powers from an accident brought on by her husband's extreme obsession with his own mortality. Unable to cope with the thought of going grey or developing wrinkles, Lance Harrower tried to infuse his skin with a metal coating, but instead suffocated when the coating completely enveloped him. Alix herself became coated in the stuff after he grabbed her for help. Ironically, Lance ended up dying. The implication is Lance died because he took off his wedding ring, which meant the metal coated his entire body and kept constricting until he couldn't breathe. Alix survived because she had her ring on, which left a small gap on her finger so the metal didn't totally cover her.
* MsFanservice: Her first issue shows her both in and out of lingerie.
* ProphecyTwist: In Morrison's series, "The spear that was never thrown". It turns out to refer to Aurakles's descendants. One of them is Alix Harrower/Bulleteer, who delivers the final blow to Gloriana Tenebrae when she accidentally rams her with a car while struggling with Sally Sonic for control of the vehicle.

Unfortunately he Jumped at the Call, covering himself with his superskin, accidentally does the same to his wife, and dies in the process. Alix, who survives by a mere fluke, manages to stumble into the life of a C-list superhero while trying to deal with the husband's death and infidelity. All the while, she only really wants to be normal...

She was perfectly happy with a normal life, and after she received her powers she had to quit her job as a special needs teacher, then discovered her husband's second life and in a fit of despair tried to commit suicide by running until she hit something strong enough to kill her.

Alix herself became coated in the stuff after he grabbed her for help. Ironically, Lance ended up dying. The implication is Lance died because he took off his wedding ring, which meant the metal coated his entire body and kept constricting until he couldn't breathe. Alix survived because she had her ring on, which left a small gap on her finger so the metal didn't totally cover her.

* BeardOfEvil: It's magnificent and you know you want one!
* FateWorseThanDeath: The Terrible Time Tailor, an alias of Zor, imposes one on the members of the Newsboy Army.
* SatanicArchetype: Pretty blatantly meant to be a take on Lucifer. He was part of some cosmic collective that exists outside of reality, but rebelled and became a villain to humanity. The (''magnificent'') beard and magician theme also tie into modern-day interpretations of the Devil.
* TakeThat: Zachary Zor might be this to Alan Moore. He takes Zatanna and turns her into a similar, but Darker and Edgier character with a different name and consistently talks about his beard. It should also be noted that Alan Moore wrote the story that killed Zatanna's father.
--> '''Zor:''' It's a magnificent beard and you know you want one!
** Alternatively, Zor could represent the readers themselves, as we often see events from his visual perspective (and we, like him, are always on the outside looking in) and one of the Seven Unknown Men comments on how he bet Zor didn't think he could bleed. This could apply to the READER not knowing he could bleed in a comic.

[[folder: Sally Sonic]]

A washed-up former superhero.
----
* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: Sally Sonic became magically trapped in the form of a teenager for decades, causing her to suffer abuse and degradation at the hands of a failed superhero who had a grudge against her late father. She uses this as an excuse for seducing married men, culminating in her encouraging mentally unbalanced scientist Lance Harrower to perform dangerous experiments on himself to try and gain superpowers, thinking that if he became a superhero, he and Sally could be together. These experiments ultimately killed Lance and turned his wife Alix into the Bulleteer. When Bulleteer finally confronts Sally about the carnage her selfishness has caused, Sally tries to kill her, all the while insisting that Lance's obsessions were Bulleteer's fault because she failed to please him. Bulleteer finally has enough of Sally's excuses and beats her with an engine block, saying that she doesn't care what kind of shit Sally went through, she had no right to mess with Lance's life or hers.
* IntentionalHeartbreaker: The former Kid Hero Sally Sonic was seduced by Vitaman, an older superhero who learned that she was the daughter of the judge who had put him and his brother away. In order to avenge himself, he got Sally hooked on drugs and turned her into a criminal. Later, after getting free of him, Sally got revenge on all men by seducing married men and utterly ruining their lives before dumping them, which is how she became the archnemesis of Bulleteer, whose husband was her final victim, who died when he tried to give himself superpowers in the deluded belief that it would get Sally back.
* SerialHomewrecker: The former Golden Age heroine Sally Sonic has become a pathological homewrecker as a result of being stuck in a permanently teenaged body, deliberately seeking out married men and sleeping with them specifically to ruin their marriages. For added villainy, after she finds out that her latest target, Lance Harrower, died in an accident, forcing his widow Alix to rent out her house in order to pay the bills, she moves in under her civilian identity, ingratiating herself with the unsuspecting Alix so that she can eventually kill her.
* ShadowArchetype: To Alix. Both women were exploited by men they mistakenly trusted and CursedWithAwesome, but Sally Sonic eventually broke from her various misadventures and became as bad as the villains she set out to stop, while Bulleteer never wanted to be a superhero and manages to avoid being corrupted.

[[folder: Bulleteer]]
!! Bulleteer/Alix Harrower
Alix Harrower is an average woman, married to a Mad Scientist husband, Lance. Lance is attempting to create a new metallic superskin to become a superhero so he could live out his fantasy life with his wife or hook up with a superchick he met online. Unfortunately he Jumped at the Call, covering himself with his superskin, accidentally does the same to his wife, and dies in the process. Alix, who survives by a mere fluke, manages to stumble into the life of a C-list superhero while trying to deal with the husband's death and infidelity. All the while, she only really wants to be normal...
----
* BlessedWithSuck: Alix didn't want to be a superhero, her husband did. She was perfectly happy with a normal life, and after she received her powers she had to quit her job as a special needs teacher, then discovered her husband's second life and in a fit of despair tried to commit suicide by running until she hit something strong enough to kill her.
* CanonDiscontinuity: Morrison's Bulleteer made a number of cameos in other stories after hers ended. The catch? She quit superheroing in the last issue of her series. It's most egregious when she appears in an incarnation of the Justice League seen in the series 52...a series co-written by Morrison himself!
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The panel where Lance's smartware begins to spread to Alix and the look on her face.
* MortalityPhobia: Alix Harrower got her powers from an accident brought on by her husband's extreme obsession with his own mortality. Unable to cope with the thought of going grey or developing wrinkles, Lance Harrower tried to infuse his skin with a metal coating, but instead suffocated when the coating completely enveloped him. Alix herself became coated in the stuff after he grabbed her for help. Ironically, Lance ended up dying. The implication is Lance died because he took off his wedding ring, which meant the metal coated his entire body and kept constricting until he couldn't breathe. Alix survived because she had her ring on, which left a small gap on her finger so the metal didn't totally cover her.
* MsFanservice: Her first issue shows her both in and out of lingerie.
* ProphecyTwist: In Morrison's series, "The spear that was never thrown". It turns out to refer to Aurakles's descendants. One of them is Alix Harrower/Bulleteer, who delivers the final blow to Gloriana Tenebrae when she accidentally rams her with a car while struggling with Sally Sonic for control of the vehicle.

----
* BigBad: Drives the main conflict during Morrison's run, as the Sheeda cause mischief on Earth under her direction.
* ButterFace: Has a well-toned body, but instead of hair she's got tentacles. And not in a GorgeousGorgon fashion, either.
* DepravedBisexual: Gloriana's retinue includes both male and female slaves.
* FaerieCourt: Gloriana Tenebrae ruled over the fairy-like Sheeda for centuries. Following her death, one of her husband's bastard great-grandchildren took over before he got bored and left. It's unclear who currently rules.
* FairyTaleMotifs: Gloriana is the WickedStepmother EvilQueen, who wishes to kill Misty before she can claim the throne.
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Gloriana Tenebrae, The Queen of Terror, is right up there among Morrison's biggest monsters, and very scary indeed. (Not that her husband was much better...)

Former king of the Sheeda.

* DirtyOldMan: When he invades Limbo Town, Melmoth wastes no time telling the women that he plans to make them concubines.
* TheHeavy: He's a major antagonist in both Klarion's and Frankenstein's arcs, but his villainy is fairly minor in comparison to his wife's plans.
* SlasherSmile: He's constantly beaming with malicious delight.

[[folder: Zachary Zor]]
!! Zachary Zor/The Eight Time Tailor
A higher being known as a Time Tailor that appears as a stage magician.
----
* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: He makes his big entrance while biting the head off a dove.
* BeardOfEvil: It's magnificent and you know you want one!
* FateWorseThanDeath: The Terrible Time Tailor, an alias of Zor, imposes one on the members of the Newsboy Army.
* SatanicArchetype: Pretty blatantly meant to be a take on Lucifer. He was part of some cosmic collective that exists outside of reality, but rebelled and became a villain to humanity. The (''magnificent'') beard and magician theme also tie into modern-day interpretations of the Devil.
* TakeThat: Zachary Zor might be this to Alan Moore. He takes Zatanna and turns her into a similar, but Darker and Edgier character with a different name and consistently talks about his beard. It should also be noted that Alan Moore wrote the story that killed Zatanna's father.
--> '''Zor:''' It's a magnificent beard and you know you want one!
** Alternatively, Zor could represent the readers themselves, as we often see events from his visual perspective (and we, like him, are always on the outside looking in) and one of the Seven Unknown Men comments on how he bet Zor didn't think he could bleed. This could apply to the READER not knowing he could bleed in a comic.
** Unless, of course, he's Warren Ellis - he certainly talks like him.

[[folder: Sally Sonic]]
!! Sally Sonic/Sara Smart
A washed-up former superhero.
----
* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: Sally Sonic became magically trapped in the form of a teenager for decades, causing her to suffer abuse and degradation at the hands of a failed superhero who had a grudge against her late father. She uses this as an excuse for seducing married men, culminating in her encouraging mentally unbalanced scientist Lance Harrower to perform dangerous experiments on himself to try and gain superpowers, thinking that if he became a superhero, he and Sally could be together. These experiments ultimately killed Lance and turned his wife Alix into the Bulleteer. When Bulleteer finally confronts Sally about the carnage her selfishness has caused, Sally tries to kill her, all the while insisting that Lance's obsessions were Bulleteer's fault because she failed to please him. Bulleteer finally has enough of Sally's excuses and beats her with an engine block, saying that she doesn't care what kind of shit Sally went through, she had no right to mess with Lance's life or hers.
* IntentionalHeartbreaker: The former Kid Hero Sally Sonic was seduced by Vitaman, an older superhero who learned that she was the daughter of the judge who had put him and his brother away. In order to avenge himself, he got Sally hooked on drugs and turned her into a criminal. Later, after getting free of him, Sally got revenge on all men by seducing married men and utterly ruining their lives before dumping them, which is how she became the archnemesis of Bulleteer, whose husband was her final victim, who died when he tried to give himself superpowers in the deluded belief that it would get Sally back.
* SerialHomewrecker: The former Golden Age heroine Sally Sonic has become a pathological homewrecker as a result of being stuck in a permanently teenaged body, deliberately seeking out married men and sleeping with them specifically to ruin their marriages. For added villainy, after she finds out that her latest target, Lance Harrower, died in an accident, forcing his widow Alix to rent out her house in order to pay the bills, she moves in under her civilian identity, ingratiating herself with the unsuspecting Alix so that she can eventually kill her.
* ShadowArchetype: To Alix. Both women were exploited by men they mistakenly trusted and CursedWithAwesome, but Sally Sonic eventually broke from her various misadventures and became as bad as the villains she set out to stop, while Bulleteer never wanted to be a superhero and manages to avoid being corrupted.
