* BadassNormal: Ash has no superpowers, instead relying on various pieces of advanced tech or her [[PoweredArmor Crimson Dynamo armor]]. [[spoiler:This is [[EmpoweredBadassNormal no longer the case]] after she gets superpowers, starting from when she's exposed to limited quantities of Horton Cells, enhancing her physical capabilities and giving her a minor HealingFactor. Later on, she's bitten by Shathra the Spider-Wasp, becoming a Spider-Wasp Totem and going through even more drastic physical changes.]]

* TouchedByVorlons: [[spoiler: After being bitten by Shathra, Ash becomes a spider-wasp Totem similar to how Spider-Man is a spider Totem, albeit a slightly weaker one due to being the Totem for a specific species rather than a broader group; her body starts gaining extra joints and she grows a retractable set of wasp wings]].

* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: Mister Sinister decides to add the DNA of [[spoiler:the Hellions]] to Amelia, just to cause [[spoiler:Emma Frost]] suffering for laughs.

* VillainRaisesAToast: After Ragnarock, Absorbing Man makes a toast in the Bar with No Name [[VillainRespect in honor of Thor]].

* EccentricMentor: Fat Cobra is one of the Immortal Weapons, making him one of the most skilled martial artists in the world, with Shang-Chi, a noted martial artist himself, wanting to learn his unique fighting style. However, he's also a hedonist who hardly takes anything seriously and is often found gorging himself on wine, food, and beautiful women.

* DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler: In order to get the necessary resources and manpower for her upcoming battle with Sublime, Ash goes to Sebastian Shaw and Destro. It actually works out pretty well, as Sublime’s anti-mutant agenda makes him a threat to several members of the Hellfire Club, Shaw in particular, and Destro is a ConsummateProfessional willing to sell Ash the gear needed with no strings attached.]]

** When Ash is invited to a Hellfire Club party, she commissions a protective amulet enchanted with Wakandan shamanism that will protect her from mental manipulation. By the time she leaves the party, it is almost black with absorbed energy that would've affected her.

* AirborneAircraftCarrier: As befits a Marvel fic, there's quite a few. Aside from SHIELD's various Helicarriers, in Chapter 48 Ash purchases a "Zephyr Raven" (which is [[https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/96835181 based on]] the Zephyr One from ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD''), a 250 foot long flying base which can carry up to 5 smaller VTOL aircraft.

** It's mentioned in Chapter 10 that [[Franchise/RoboCop Alex Murphy]] has been active since the 80s and it was later specified that he [[https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/96187172 was a prototype of the Deathlok program]].

** While they haven't shown up on screen, there have been blatant references to the presence of the [[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles TMNT]], with an AOL User in-universe referencing [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 Stocktronics and the MOUSERs]] specifically. [[spoiler:They later appear alongside the Foot in chapter 42]].

** In issue 27 there are mentions of a massive white flash of light in orbit and Becky Ryan shows up at Me and the Boys, looking nervous and wearing bandages on one hand. [[spoiler:It's eventually revealed that the flash of light was [[ComicBook/TheNewUniverse a White Event]] and that Becky has become the host of the ''ComicBook/StarBrand'']].

** Ash has very strong feelings about Creator/GarthEnnis and Creator/MarkMillar, as she reveals in her thoughts in Chapter 3.

** Chapter 7 reveals that Ash is not fond of Creator/BrianMichaelBendis.

* ThreePointLanding: Ash notes that she's able to pull this off without hurting herself even when not wearing PoweredArmor thanks to her shield generator.

** The Punisher wears armed Claymore mine on his back just in case someone sneaks up on him from behind.

* CrazyPrepared: Even aside from her new pizza parlor staff being comprised of ex-Maggia members and genuine {{Kunoichi}}, with so many famous persons and superheroes present for opening night, Ash makes sure her security measures are up to snuff, including an armory-full of surplus NYPD laser weaponry.

--> '''Tony 2.0:''' You know, Tony 1.0 never really thought about this, but I feel the need to ask why it is that people buy [=StarkTech=] Security Systems. They… do know the sheer amount of backdoors that I… he puts into them?

* SwissCheeseSecurity: Tony 2.0 comments on the fact that the Grand Corporation Building uses [=StarkTech=] Security Systems, which he knows has tons of backdoors built into them by Tony himself. Justified as Tony 2.0 is an incomplete copy of Tony, so he'd know how to take advantage of those backdoors better than anyone other than his template.

'''Ash:''' You stabbed him with it six times and kept holding it up to his eyes and ears like you were in a horror movie! I'm pretty sure they could ''hear the screams'' up there, and he barely knew anything anyway! We've got to go up that elevator now Frank! That elevator that they've had fifteen minutes to set up an ambush in front of!\\

** During the [[spoiler:U-men's attack on New York City]] it is noted that most supervillains don't kill people indiscriminately. Even Hydra typically doesn’t do it (unless they're acting crazier than normal) and typically only the really crazy guys like Carnage do it regularly. This is mostly for pragmatic reasons, as very few villains want to see how the heroes will response in cases like that.

** Stark Industries manufactures [[ComicBook/{{Steel}} BG-80 Toastmasters]].
