* CompleteMonster: [[AristocratsAreEvil Baron Karza]] is the [[BigBad monstrous dictator]] who has terrorized the Microverse for thousands of years, and is the ArchEnemy of the Micronauts. After a failed attempt to usurp control of Homeworld left him for dead, Karza [[UngratefulBastard murdered the entire monastery that saved his life]], then used their technological secrets to massacre the Homeworld royal family and take control of their empire. As supreme leader of the Microverse, Karza instituted the dreadful "Body Banks" to turn millions of innocents into raw materials for harvesting to keep Karza and his followers alive for centuries, and took part in routine genocide against any planets that resisted his tyranny. Karza forced thousands of women into [[MedicalRapeAndImpregnate impregnation machines]] that [[DrivenToMadness drove them insane]] as they constantly churned out infants for Karza to brainwash into loyal slaves. Karza's [[EvilIsPetty pettiness]] even saw him trick a young woman into crippling herself for her sweetheart, only to ruin both their lives and make her sacrifice for naught, just for his own amusement. The most recurring thorn in the Micronauts' side who executed his own forces on the regular, butchered the billions of Homeworld inhabitants to transform them into abominable monstrosities, and reacted to defeat by trying to doom the entire Microverse to save his own skin, Baron Karza [[CardCarryingVillain happily embraced his status as just a man out to be as evil as possible]], even rejecting an offer of godhood when it would require he become benevolent.

I don't think whoever added these understands how YMMV works.

* ForgottenPhlebotinum: In Issue #45, the supervillain Arcade traps Commander Rann, Microtron, Devil, and Nanotron in a digital version of Murderwold which was similar to the VideoGames that were at the time gaining popularity. Given the obvious difficulty in escaping from such a device [[spoiler: the Micronauts could only escape due to Microtron being able to hack into the system and use applied phlebotium]], it's strange that these Video Murder Machines, as Arcade called them, never appeared again. Especially given the now ubiquitous presence of video games and digital worlds online.
* GrowingTheBeard: Arcturus Rann, literally, when he [[spoiler: sacrifices part of the his artificially-maintained youth to recreate Biotron.]]
* {{Homage}}: In the mythology of the Microverse, some of the prominent figures associated with Wayfinder were named after Hindu gods such as Kali, Agni, and Yama. Additionally, Wayfinder and his people also for a time settled on Earth, probably in what is now India before they were again displaced by whirldemons. The Microversian written language resembles Devanagari, as seen by stone tablets unearthed in India, and translated by Dr. Strange in issue #31. The idea of AncientAstronauts inspiring Hindu mythology is very similar to Roger Zelazny's ''LordOfLight.''
* NoChallengeEqualsNoSatisfaction: The Time Travelers offered Karza what they suspected he wanted. They offered to instantly make him into a god. But he declined this feeling that as an omnipotent god, he would lose his appetite for conquest. He instead elected to become restored as a normal human (having at some point in the past turned himself into an energy being that occupied his armor). This would allow him, not only to enjoy conquest, but all of the base human pleasures that he was previously above. This would [[spoiler: lead to his downfall as he could now be killed for good like a regular man, which he was only three issues later]].

*** When [[ComicBook/{{Captain Marvel|MarvelComics}} Genis Vell]] and Rick Jones were sharing a body, they would swap places between Earth and the Microverse. Rick had had a similar arrangement with Mar Vell years earlier, except they swapped between Earth and the Negative Zone.
