* YourCheatingHeart: Has illegitimate sons with at least two different women, both of whom appear as the villains in both "The Final Solution" and "Traitor To His Kind".

None

Added DiffLines:

* ArchnemesisDad: Having a mutant for a son was a real problem for him, given how he came to power on the back of anti-mutant policies. Given how he abused Johnny growing up, it's little wonder that Johnny rejected the Kreelman name and joined the mutant uprising.

None

Added DiffLines:

* BloodKnight: He's a norm and a temporally displaced one, so he doesn't need to work as a BountyHunter, but does so because he loves the job.


Added DiffLines:

* CameBackWrong: He's briefly brought BackFromTheDead as a zombie in "The Final Solution" via necromancy. His personality is not retained, though his manner of speech is, and he tries to kill Johnny.
* CharacterDeath: He's killed by Max Bubba, something Johnny does ''not'' take well.

Added DiffLines:

* HandCannon: Johnny's primary WeaponOfChoice is a Westinghouse Variable Cartidge Blaster, which is about the length of his arm and has the stopping power to boot.


Added DiffLines:

* WalkingArmory: It's a minor RunningGag, but whenever Johnny's weapons are inspected by authorities, it's commented that he's carrying quite a lot of gear. Usually, there's so much, they never notice that he's able to tuck away a grenade or something to use later.

Added DiffLines:

* EyeScream: When scanning the mind of an EldritchAbomination in "The Final Solution", the creature destroys both his eyes. One of Middenface's conditions for Johnny's resurrection is that Johnny's eyes be restored along with his life.

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Immune to diseases and toxins and doesn't age. She has long fangs and uses them to drink blood from people and animals, which she needs to survive. Red's condition is a strontium 90-induced mutation and in no way supernatural, and is never treated like anything else.

Red's condition is a strontium 90-induced mutation and in no way supernatural, and is never treated like anything else. As such, she's immune to the usual vampiric countermeasures and she actually ''likes'' garlic.

* AntiHero: While he's as virtuous and upstanding a person as can be expected in such a setting, he occasionally will do some pretty brutal things in order to survive. For example, he rescues a former comrade from the gallows in one jurisdiction, only to turn him in for the bounty in the next.
