* CityOfWeirdos: Invoked in Mojo: Black; nobody except one old racist man really bats an eye at Glob Herman, or at Mojo, who is poorly disguised in a ConspicuousTrenchcoat. Mojo is even able to score a date with Ann because, as she says, he's not even the weirdest guy to ask her out that ''month''.

Added DiffLines:

* EvenEvilHasStandards: In Mojo's issue, when he sees a little girl about to be run over by a man who is texting whilst driving, he instinctively leaps in and saves her by stopping the car with his SuperStrength. He also verbally chews the driver out for not paying attention whilst driving. Before that, he is offended by the one racist old man who insults Glob for being a mutant.
* EvilIsPetty: In her focus issue, Mystique is shown making peoples' lives miserable wherever she goes, stealing money and ruining reputations just for the sake of it.
* ForTheEvulz: As Mystique's narration makes clear, her main reason for all the horrible things she does in her focus issue, from ruining a politician's reputation to framing a girl for mass-murder, are done mostly for the sake of amusement and being cruel.


Added DiffLines:

* KickTheDog: In her focus issue, Mystique rescues a scared mutant girl from a Trask Industries facility and helps her to safety... only so she can frame that girl for all the Trask employees that Mystique murdered by mixing rat poison into the building's water supply. And she only did that because she felt like being cruel.


Added DiffLines:

* PetTheDog: Both Magneto and Mojo are shown in a much less villainous light in their focus issues, with Magneto's encouragement to the daughter of a dead female astronaut and Mojo saving a little girl from being hit by a car. Subverted with Mystique, whose issue shows her engaging in KickTheDog instead.

* NotMeThisTime: A variant in Mojo: Black. [[spoiler:Major Domo unleashes the Half-Sentient on the X-Academy and kidnaps Ann because he thinks Mojo has an evil plan in mind. In fact, Mojo has no such plan and was simply hanging out with Glob for companionship and trying to get a date with Ann.]]


Added DiffLines:
