* PowerPerversionPotential: Everyone, ''Everyone'', in this universe who has powers use them for this. However, unlike other settings this isn't played for titillation but for horror. Mostly, Elisa still finds time to be remarkably perverted trying to defeat a ghost.[[spoiler: Her sister is even worse.]]

* NinetiesAntiHero: X makes several appearances throughout the series, and Ghost herself is more than willing to blow away her targets, solidify them halfway in and halfway out of walls, or unghost her hand inside an opponent's brain or heart.

* NinetiesAntiHero: X makes several appearances throughout the series, and Ghost herself is more than willing to blow away her targets, solidify them halfway in and halfway out of walls, or unghost her hand inside an opponent's brain or heart. One [[BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind sequence]] in the first omnibus ruthlessly parodies the entire concept.

I removed some things which just feel unneeded. Please also see this. I also feel Hypocrite needs a rewrite, though I'm not sure how to change it myself since I'm not familiar with the work.


* DoesNotLikeMen: Pretty much her hat for the first couple of issues. Not that it isn't justified as in her world sexual harassment, and frankly any sex crime, were apparently never criminalized. Seemingly everyone Elisa encounters demeans or objectives her ''at best.'' Particular winners involve a super-incel with telepathy that he uses for its PowerPerversionPotential. A demon who subjects her to MindRape, several times, just to make her submissive. Or a monster who forces her to dress like a school girl and suck her thumb to save her friends life. Heck, even her male allies, sans Peter, can't not ogle her. Honestly it's a surprise that she didn't become [[Film/{{Ms45}} Ms. 45]].
