--> '''Madame Rouge:''' You did nothing. It was I that made him weak. And you call yourself a villain. Pathetic. Life's full of disappointments, you are one of them. Hand him to me.

* EnemyEatsYourLunch: Kid Flash swipes a candy bar from Mammoth as he leaves a store. This especially infuriates the villain, because he actually paid for it instead of stealing it. Later, he steals a bag of chips from Mammoth, too, and he makes a sandwich from food he took from the Hive Five’s kitchen.

%%* TheBaroness: Madame Rouge. Jinx very badly wants to be one.

%%* DarkActionGirl: Jinx and Madame Rouge.

* WingdingEyes: See-More’s eye displays various symbols throughout the episode, expressing his emotions. It gets a dollar sign when he tells Mammoth he looks rich, a question mark when he’s confused, and an exclamation point when he’s surprised.
