* AbsurdCuttingPower: {{Subverted|Trope}}. Supernova suggests that Lady Katana can get inside Doom-Nomitron that sever its primary nerve cluster with her katanas, but Lady Katana shoots that idea down because the cluster is made of titanium and her katanas would break against it. Her cybernetics may make her an extremely deadly combatant with katanas, but the weapons themselves are mundane.

* CerebusRetcon: The deaths of Lady Katana, Diablo Verde and Calypso. While they were offhandedly claimed to have died in the fight against Doom-Nomitron, we’re shown in "Girls Night" how they actually died. [[spoiler:They were all murdered by Supernova while she was blackout drunk, with the remaining team members using their "victory" over Doom-Nomitron (actually Rick’s) to cover it up. Also, Doom-Nomitron wasn't even ''near'' Dorian 5. The planet exploded because Supernova miscarried her baby there, which caused her to create an explosion that destroyed the planet]].

** Crocubot actually had a passion for dancing, a secret he went great lengths for no one to find out.

** Supernova has always been a self centered sociopath, but Vindicators 2 truly shows how awful she is, and how correct Rick truly was about how the Vindicators are the writers of their own press releases, as she spins and manipulates any situation to make the Vindicators look like heroes, even at the cost of their teammates' sanity, memory, and lives.

* HiddenDepths: Noob-Noob reveals in "First Love" that he has a PHD in biochemistry, claiming that he had a plan to defeat Doom-Nomitron without anyone dying by resequencing the latter's DNA. He also expresses great frustration that the team doesn’t take him seriously and only sticks him with grunt work.
