* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Many of the non-powered supervillains in Attica Prison, such as the Shocker and the Beetle, get regular conjugal visits from their fangirls. 8-Ball and the Ringer are exceptions, preferring to remain loyal to their girlfriend and wife, respectively.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Averted, as I don't want to go over ground Bob Budiansky already covered in his original comics. People who see Sleepwalker simply assume he's a human in a really weird costume, until he explains otherwise.

* HappilyMarried: The Ringer could have had his share of supervillain fangirls, but he's utterly devoted to his wife Leila. They frequently bribe the prison guards to let them spend romantic evenings together. Their sex life is incredibly hot and steamy, too.

* ShutUpHannibal: After Sleepwalker has recovered from his NoHoldsBarredBeatdown and MindRape at Psyko's hands, he comes back for round two. Psyko tries to show Sleepwalker the true results of his actions in the misery and death Psyko has caused, but Sleepwalker fires right back that everything Psyko has done only reinforces his will to fight and reminds him of his true responsibilities as a Sleepwalker. Even if Psyko were to kill him, Sleepwalker wouldn't have any compunctions about TakingYouWithMe, as he would die in battle with the greatest of honor.
Added DiffLines:
* TakingYouWithMe: Invoked by ''Sleepwalker'' when he says that he'd have no problem killing Psyko with his last ounce of strength if Psyko were to slay him. Normally, ThouShaltNotKill is the Sleepwalker rule, but a loophole exists when a dying Sleepwalker may terminate a threat by killing it along with him.
Added DiffLines:
* ThouShaltNotKill: Sleepwalker explains that his race has a strict no-killing rule. It's {{Lampshaded}} and subverted by Psyko when he notes that if Sleepwalker were to kill him, Psyko would in fact have succeeded in making Sleepwalker commit one of the gravest dishonors possible, and Psyko's evil and soul would then take hold of Sleepwalker and live on through him.

One such instance is an interlude describing the first issue of his webcomic, which is basically an AuthorFilibuster viciously condemning MattGroening for not having the balls to cancel ''TheSimpsons'' before it started to suck, while ridiculing the notion that ''FamilyGuy'' rips off ''TheSimpsons''. The strip ends with Groening having a VillainousBreakdown and admitting that he sold his creative soul for money, while admitting that ''FamilyGuy'' is still funny.
