* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: One of the heroes who makes his appearance around this time is the Phantom Bullet. Shortly after he is introduced, the Angel witnesses a couple of police officers finding the Phantom Bullet shot dead and left to die in the garbage. He notes that costumed vigilantes get no consideration from police and are at best a nuisance to them. Another hero to get this treatment is veteran detective the Ferret, who gets unceremoniously stabbed to death while investigating a mystery connected to the main plotline.

* BusmansHoliday: The one day supercop Jim Hammond decides to take a day off, at the heavy suggestion of his fellow cops, Namor decides to try and flood New York.
* CharacterFocus: In addition to the starring roles given to the Human Torch and Namor, Thomas Halloway, the Golden Age Angel, is the other main character.
* CListFodder: Possibly even lower than C-List. The Ferret and the Phantom Bullet, both genuine Timely Comics characters from the Golden Age of comics, die to show how dangerous the Nazis are.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: Red Hargrove, Nick Fury's best friend, is killed offscreen in issue 8 due to being present at Pearl Harbor.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Heinz Kruger is a devoted father and husband who misses his wife terribly. He's also a loyal Nazi who kills Abraham Erkskine.
* TheGreatestStoryNeverTold: The Invaders foiling the attack on Roosevelt and Churchill is kept secret because it takes place on the same day as Pearl Harbor, and Captain America didn't want to dishonour those who died that day.
* HumanPopsicle: John Steele had been kept in cryo-stasis in a Nazi lab, until an Allied bombing raid frees him.
* KillItWithFire: The Ferret's office is firebombed by the Nazis to make sure nothing of his investigation gets out.
* MakeAnExampleOfThem: The Red Skull first appears lining up everyone in a village in France to kill them. He doesn't particularly care whether anyone's innocent or not, he just wants to make a point.
* NeckSnap: The fate of Major Kerfoot, at the hands of his handlers.
* PiggybackingOnHitler: Meranno is an Atlantean working with Hitler, mainly so he can get at Namor.
* ReluctantMadScientist: Abraham Erskine is forced to work for Nazi Germany, who aren't the sort of people who take "no" for an answer, until he's rescued by Nick Fury.
* RevengeBeforeReason: The Nazis depth-charge the Atlanteans and take the corpses to study, pissing off Namor, who soon makes his way to New York. Not bothering to distinguish between surface dwellers, the sight of people on Coney Island enjoying themselves sends him into a berserk rage.
