* ADeathInTheLimelight: Played straight with Perez. Although he’s one of the core cast, he gets no focus and very little dialogue. The tenth issue of the series gives him a relationship reveal, mentions that he’s got a secret plan and then promptly kills him.

* SurveillanceAsThePlotDemands: Initially averted and later justified. In early issues, their superiors are completely unable to monitor the squad when they jump through a wormhole. Later, they [[WetwareCPU integrate a dead Warhead’s brain into a scrying device]] and start monitoring the team without their knowledge.
