While she does have a lot of romantic fantasies they're mostly of the preadolescent, non-sexual "pretty princess" variety.

* {{Asexual}}: Billie has done a little platonic dating but her shyness, intimidation factor and AllOfTheOtherReindeer issues have so far prevented any serious relationships, which she does not appear to mind in the least. The closest thing she has to a romantic interest is ballroom dancing.

* LaserGuidedKarma: Having been raised by bigots, he had incredibly harsh things to say about his sister's choice to transition. About five minutes later he takes off the jumpsuit he was imprisoned in and finds out he's in a similar situation.

** On yet another level, it turns out that his mutation resulted from a supervillain running a deliberate LaserGuidedKarma gambit on his family and his younger brother is the next target.

A seemingly eleven year old girl who 'generates' psychokinetic copies of herself to possess objects and make them {{animate inanimate object}}s for a limited time. When the effect wears off, the copies' memories merge with Jade's. The copies are named Jinn, Jann, Jeanie, etc. in an order known only to Jade but which never varies. She is collectively known as the "J Team. The singular/plural confusion is canon.

* ConfusionFu: Jade herself plays this up to the hilt, having a bag of tricks nearly as large and varied as Jericho's, helped along by her devisor and gadgeteer friends (and a goodly amount of fabrication knowledge). Shroud, meanwhile, has the ability to turn into, in Phase's words, 'a whirling, slicing death machine'. ''Nobody'' knows what she's going to pull out of her hat next, and the very thought gives Gunny Bardue a very large migraine.

** In "Ayla and the Mad Scientist", it's discovered that her powers [[spoiler: have been killing entire ecosystems around the country with the energy she's always pulling from ley lines.]] Because of this, she can no longer use power willy-nilly and has to come up with energy-saving alternatives.

* InstantExpert: She has the power to [[SupernaturalMartialArts manipulate chi]] instinctively without the sort of training that anyone else requires. When her powers manifest, she does the sort of thing that takes a master 50 years to learn ''by accident'', in her ''judo class''. In the ninja fight, she watches the leader do a really complicated chi technique that is supposed to allow a paralyzing strike, then blocks it and does it back to him, perfectly, the first time. Oh, and she paraphrases his [[CallingYourAttacks attack name]] (Coiling Viper Fang Strike) as "Something something strike!"
** Despite all this, she still needs to keep working on basics -- so in a sense, she has to learn ''backwards''.
