History ComicBook / Extinctioners

* CaptainErsatz and the Uncanny {{Expy}}-Men: It's not hard to figure out which eXtinctioners are Franchise/XMen turned furry.

Note: There`s currently a character sheet that could use a lot of editing.

* MixedAnimalSpeciesTeam: The team include three cats (Alleycat, Vague, and Copycat), a fox (Starfox, [[NamesTheSame no relation]] to [[Franchise/StarFox the other one]]), weasel (Forcewave), mouse (Micro), panda (Pandamonium), ermine (Mindswipe), gorilla (Warfare), an alien (Shadowstalker), and a phoenix who poses as a rabbit (Phenix). Most other superhero teams in the setting are based around a single species or group of species like The Solar Foxes, [=MechaRoos=], and L.A.P.D.O.G.S.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: The comic is very notorious for having a quite huge cast, which is [[CastHerd divided in many groups]], and the titular group is quite big already.

* AndThisIsFor: [[spoiler: Vague ends up doing this twice to Terrorbull (a hybrid who was a loyal agent for the Hunters) in the series. She originally killed him for slaughtering half her family during the night of Katherine's birthday, [[ItMakesSenseInContext and then killed his evil spirit while inside Walice`s subconscious several issues later]], saying it was for all the misery he put her through after he possessed her through an unknown superpower he had, which activated after his original death.]]

* DrowningMySorrows: At one point in the comic, President Equinis drinks half a dozen shots of alcohol while apprehensively reflecting on the events of the story from his perspective (mainly the human invaders and their actions over the past year). He also ponders what the humans involvement was with his adopted daughters disappearance, unaware that she probably wouldn`t remember him and would only see him as a target that needs to be taken out, due to the invaders influences.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Even though they are plotting to slaughter and/or enslave a majority of the humanimals of Alden for their own kind, the human Hunters seem to view Stalker (real name Ethan Stalworth) as absolutely insane and dangerous thanks to his over the top level of violence and sadistic nature, to the point where they don`t entirely trust him and his humanimal partner Lynx Wilde.

* FantasticRacism: Scarlet has a strong dislike for felines and often doesn`t hide her contempt for them whenever one is in the same room with her. [[spoiler: The reason behind her hatred is that she witnessed three felines fatally stab her older brother Travas on her forth birthday and escape punishment, still not brought to justice as of the most recent issue]]. The only feline Scarlet acts decent to is Katherine, as she formed a truce with her during the first arc amid a critical rescue mission and kept it going long after said mission ended.

* HappilyAdopted: Though it wasn`t shown before her introduction in the first arc, it was implied that [[spoiler: Zelda Equinus (an anthro zebra) had this in relation with her adoptive donkey parents before she was abducted and brainwashed into being a loyal soldier for the human invaders.]]

** Out of all the hybrid characters, Bajer Blaquestrype is clearly the most despised animal villain in the comic. Unlike other hybrids working for the human invaders, Bajer isn`t forced to serve their cause out of fear or mind control. Rather, he`s a free agent who helps hunt down other hybrids in exchange for luxury/rewards, not caring about what will happen to all the other animals of his planet once the humans really get their invasion plan into full swing. The fact he also has a SmugSnake vibe to his personality further adds to the dislike.

* LastOfHisKind: Umnus. [[spoiler: During the Forbidden Love arc, it`s revealed that six other female Remalons survived the destruction of their planet caused by the Hunters, much to Umnus` surprise. However, one of them (Kyra) ends up dying from a fatal attack by Xenif, another (Onex) is revealed to be willingly working with a secondary antagonist and wouldn`t hesitate to kill all the others of her kind (forcing Umnus to blast her away to another dimension) and the final four end up getting dragged through a portal at the end of the story arc when Xenif is defeated by an enraged Phenix, [[YankTheDogsChain leaving Umnus alone once again.]]]]

* MixAndMatchCritters: It`s an easy fact to miss that almost every animal is sort of this. The animals of Alden were uplifted by the humans to be more like them (as in being bipedal and having different personalities among themselves to name two of many examples). The anthropomorphism and term "humanimal" aside though, each species is still basically their own species, as none of the populace sees themselves as a human/(other species) mix.

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: When the whole titular team goes on a shopping trip at a local mall to boost morale early in the series, none of the other shoppers find it odd that said group has a gorilla (Warfare), alien (Umnus) and famous celebrity rabbit (really Phenix posing in her alter ego) among them; Warfare because [[spoiler: all the monkey species that were uplifted didn`t originally go to the parallel Earth/Alden with all the other animals (as Noah Adam Mahn revealed to the captured heroes during some evil gloating in the first arc)]], Umnus [[CaptainObvious because he`s an alien]] and Phenix because her alter ego identity is one of the most famous living fashion designers on the planet. The closest anyone reacts to the out of place trio is when Phenix buys a lot of cars from a sales fox in a store for the teams transportation purposes (with said fox [[SarcasmMode flabbergasted that a very rich celebrity is partaking in excessive spending]]).

* WouldHurtAChild: It`s made clear early on that the Hunters don`t care how young a humanimal that gets in their way is, as they will kill him/her without a moment of hesitation just as they would anyone else. [[spoiler: When Maxwell talks to Katherine about what happend the night he was taken by the Hunters forces, he says that they tried to kill her little brother Taren alongside her parents and infant sister, with Warfare and Catrina directly stopping said execution from being carried out at the last second.]]

* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Issue 15 has the human invaders and some hybrids team up into duos, mostly working together in the invasion plan (such as Ashen Msaka (a human) and Farsight (a giraffe) to name an example).

* PerpetualFrowner: Although he shows a variety of other emotions, this expression seems to be Walice Weazels main mood throughout the series (due to him usually irritated by something if he`s not just feeling bitter).

* HateSink: All the human invaders in the comic are worthy of this trope, considering they see any species outside their own as a lower life form that needs to be enslaved and used for their invasion plan at best to exterminated at worst. However, Noah Adam Mahn stands out above the rest of the invaders due to how many atrocities he committed before his team was even introduced to the story. Read about his actions towards the hero`s in the YMMV sections of this comics and it quickly becomes clear why plenty of readers feel a special form of hatred and anger towards the human whenever the story focuses on him.

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Jacob, Walice, and Warfare officially defect from working with Mahn and the Hunters during the Countdown to Extinction arc, joining the titular team in the process.]]
