* GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke: Parodied when a forced evolutionary virus creates "man-kitty-things" that get into everything. Schtein also keeps one as an adorable pet.

* DoubleEntendre: Jacob lost 30 bucks due to betting if Schtein will recover or not, and he tells Schtein that he owes him 30 bucks.
-->'''Jacob''': Oh, don't worry. I'll think of some way you can pay me back.
-->'''Schtein''': [Cringes]
-->'''Jacob''': [Realizes what Schtein is thinking about] ...What? Oh! NOT LIKE THAT!

* BreakoutCharacter: Marcus was first intended to be one-time-only, but fans liked him so much the artist decided to make him a reoccuring character.

* YouShouldKnowThisAlready: The supervillainy bit. Impressive, considering that the comic hasn't actually reached that point yet.

* PuppyDogEyes: Schtein uses it on Krow, one of Drew's men. Krow [[DontLookAtMe doesn't react]] [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown well]]

* DisappearedDad: Apparently [[spoiler:Dr. Schtein]] has a child that he never sees. Schtein's father also died soon after he was born.

* TeleportersAndTransporters: Schtein (and presumably Langstrom's rival division) is trying to build a functioning matter teleportation device. So far he has gone through a lot of guinea pigs.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Schtein refusing to help the prison skinheads and telling them to fuck off even while he's in a chokehold. [[http://www.stringtheorycomic.com/comics/chaptertwo/page-fifty/ As long as you ignore what happens right after that,]] when it turns into HighOctaneNightmareFuel.

* DisappearedDad: Apparently [[spoiler:Dr. Schtein]] has a child that he never sees. This is hinted at in the comic and confirmed (but not fully explained) in supplementary material. Schtein's father also died soon after he was born.

** There's also Elizabeth Langstrom, Professor Langstrom's sister. Despite being a jerk, you can't blame her after reading her character bio.

* NoodleIncident: Armastus' experiments were so horrible it made the judge throw up, apparently. What exactly he did is left to the readers' imaginations.

* ShoutOut: You can see [[TheWalkingDead Andrea]] working as a prison guard and [[KimPossible Dr. Drakken]] in a prison outfit in the first panel of [[http://www.stringtheorycomic.com/comics/pagefortyseven page 47]]

A webcomic about the life of Dr. Herville Schtein, an abnormal scientist who descends into a life of supervillainy. Set in an alternate timeline in the 2057-2060s where the Cuban missile crisis was never averted, the world in String Theory is recovering from a major war which split the world between capitalist and communist super powers--with the scale tipped a little in the USSR's favor.

*HiddenSupplies: Phineas gives Schtein a weapon to defend himself against the other prisoners, and tells Schtein to hide it inside the [[http://www.stringtheorycomic.com/comics/chaptertwo/page-fortytwo/ mattress]].
