* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: The Reavers play with the trope rather than playing it straight, as while they are all some mixture of machine and man, they're considerably saner than their boss, swinging between an elite mercenary unit and a QuirkyMinibossSquad DependingOnTheWriter.
* {{Cyborg}}: They are all cyborgs with various cybernetic enhancements.
* QuirkyMinibossSquad: The Reavers are a gang of cyborg mercenaries led by Donald Pierce. Initially played deadly straight, their camp nature led them to inevitable VillainDecay and most of them haven't been seen since the nineties.

* {{Retcon}} A curious one. In one of his missions for Freedom Force, Stonewall posed as a lawyer. Though he admitted to have only learned legal terms from television shows. Some time later, the story where he dies depicted him as an actual lawyer.

*TokenGoodTeammate: The only one of the trio of veterans who had doubts about whether killing for sport was heroic, and who wanted to spare Storm's life. In most of his appearances, he was primarily motivated by his loyalty to his friends and/or teammates and was the least aggressive member of the entire team.

Added DiffLines:

*EarlyInstallmentWeirdness:In his first story arc, Martin seemed to be gleefully sadistic, and he also verbally taunted his opponents. In most of his later appearances, he was trying to incapacitate his opponents without killing them. He also seemed to have lost both his sadism and much of his mirth.

Added DiffLines:

* AloneInACrowd: He was depicted feeling lonely among his team members, since he had failed to bond with them. He also felt sad that he had no family, unlike most men of his age.

A short-lived team consisting of the Mystique-led [[Characters/XMenBrotherhoodOfMutants Brotherhood of Mutants]] (Mystique, Destiny, Pyro, Avalanche, Blob) operating under the authority of the US Government and the command of Valerie Cooper in exchange for full governmental pardons for past crimes. They temporarily employed ComicBook/SpiderWoman (Julia Carpenter), but she left them after her first mission, and were then rounded out with the former mutant vigilantes Super Sabre, Crimson Commando, and Stonewall. They primarily served the government by attempting to enforce the Mutant Registration Act, which brought them into conflict with the X-Men and other superheroes, including fellow Commission agent [[Characters/CaptainAmerica John "USAgent" Walker]]. The team would begin to fall apart after Destiny and Stonewall were killed during a mission to Muir Island; a depressed Mystique would be seemingly assassinated by a Shadow King-controlled Valerie Cooper, whilst a mission to Iraq would see Super Sabre killed, Blob and Pyro stranded, and the survivors heavily injured, after which the government disbanded the team. Valerie was subsequently replaced with a revamped Characters/XFactor team.
