* WritingAroundTrademarks: Shang-Chi's father and his legacy play a significant part in the story, but as Marvel no longer had the rights to Fu Manchu, he's never referred to by that name. Reston refers to him as "your devil doctor daddy", for example. [[spoiler:And when he actually turns up, he's using the UsefulNotes/LeComteDeStGermain alias]].
* YouExclamation: Leiko's reaction in the first issue, when Saint Germain first speaks.

* TheDragon: Moving Shadow plays this role to the Comte de Saint Germain.
* HijackedByGanon: The Comte de Saint Germain is introduced as another LongLived villain, driven mad by the same PsychoSerum life-extending elixir that Shang-Chi's dead father used to drink. [[spoiler:Except that, actually, he ''is'' Shang-Chi's father, who managed to escape again despite his presumed death at the end of the ''ComicBook/MasterOfKungFu'' series]].

* VillainousLegacy: Played with. As Reston explains early in the story, the Comte de Saint Germain, alias "The Ghost", has inherited the murderous criminal organisation that Shang-Chi's dead father created. [[spoiler:Except that he ''is'' Shang-Chi's father, who's just using an alias to conceal his survival]].

* OnlySaneWoman: Stone is the only one of Spetz's Omegans to challenge him when he becomes more interested in stopping Tarr than stopping the Ghost. This is partly why she ends up as the SoleSurvivor from the squad.
* PersonalHateBeforeCommonGoals: Morgan Spetz's obsession with beating Tarr to the top job at [=MI6=] brings him to the point where he’ll risk the mission by directly attacking colleagues so that his team can be the ones to save the day. It almost dooms the whole mission - and it gets Spetz and his team killed.
