10%%* {{Art Evolution}}: [[http://supervillainous.spiderforest.com/comic/comic-1-work-and-family/ From this]] [[http://supervillainous.spiderforest.com/comic/out-past-curfew/ to this]]
11* {{Bad Boss}}: Claw and his Lieutenant Meat, especially Meat. Claw will electrocute his henchmen if they annoy him too much and Meat has been known to [[MurderIsTheBestSolution MURDER]] new recruits if they get on his nerves.
12* BadassNormal: Meat. When a bunch of powered supervillains stole Claw's belt, he goes to get it back. When they insinuate he's useless because he doesn't have powers like his boss, he makes a necklace out of their teeth.
13%%* BunnyEarsLawyer: The Actioneer
14%%* CaptainGeographic: Germania
15* ChekhovsGun: In the very first panel, Kaley dyes her hair blue. [[spoiler: Many pages later, it turns out she accidentally used her dad's mutagenic blue dye, which, due to being so close to her brain, gave her super-intelligence.]]
16* {{Crossover}}: With ''Webcomic/WonderWeenies'' Via [[http://supervillainous.spiderforest.com/comic/guest-strip-corey-kramer/ guest strip]]
17* ComicBookDeath/[[spoiler:ExpendableClone]]: {{Parodied}} in [[http://supervillainous.spiderforest.com/comic/ultimo-returns/ this strip]].
18* CloneArmy: {{Discussed}} in [[http://supervillainous.spiderforest.com/comic/strategy-session-2/ this strip.]]
19* EstablishingCharacterMoment[=/=]EstablishingSeriesMoment: The very first thing we see the Claw doing is ordering Trapmaster to see what he can do about childproofing his lair, which he has also ordered death traps for to keep out would-be heroes.
20* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Crimson Claw. NOTHING matters to him more than family.
21* {{Expy}}: Captain Ultimo looks and acts an awful lot like a certain [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Man of Steel.]]
22* FriendlyEnemy: [[http://supervillainous.spiderforest.com/comic/miracle/ Claw and Ultimo.]]
23* GenreSavvy: One of Claw's greatest strengths.
24* {{Leave no Survivors}}: Claw suggests this [[http://supervillainous.spiderforest.com/comic/crisis-management/ here]] as a way to deal with a potential henchman union headache.
25* PapaWolf: Don't ever kill, harm, threaten, or even mildly upset his family.
26* PragmaticVillain: Claw. He'll only do something that's beneficial to him and when it's most beneficial. An example is his trip to Egypt, he went there for a piece of armor with great power (his belt been another piece), but didn't go there for six months after finding its location just because his son had an essay on Ancient Egypt at that time.
27* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The Action Faction features among others two Devil-people and Nazi Created {{Shapeshifter}} blob with a Devil form.
28* RhymesOnADime: The Action Faction
29%%* {{Supervillain}}: The Crimson Claw. Duh.
30* TakeThat:
31** [[http://supervillainous.spiderforest.com/comic/smells-like-team-spirit-2/ Nothing Good has ever come]] [[ComicBook/TheCloneSaga from clone stuff.]]
32** [[http://supervillainous.spiderforest.com/comic/major-metaphor/ To all politicians]];
33---> '''Hi-Tech''': "He's '''''literally''''' an '''''old man fighting against The Future'''''. Sounds like '''''government''''' to me."
34* ThoseWackyNazis: [[http://supervillainous.spiderforest.com/comic/the-action-faction-part-2/ Goofather was created in a Nazi lab.]]
35%%* VillainProtagonist: Take a wild guess.
36* VillainWithGoodPublicity: As seen in [[http://supervillainous.spiderforest.com/comic/reputation-in-ruins/ this page]] Claw is against being this because to spite being a PragmaticVillain he still worries about his VillainCred.
37* WorthlessYellowRocks: What happens when you infinitely replicate gold with a time-loop generator, [[spoiler: it eventually becomes near worthless]]
38* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe:
39--> '''Germania''': ...My grandfather was an SS Officer. I just want to help create a '''better''' Germany\
40'''Goofather''': Um, I was created in a Nazi laboratory. Is that going to be awkward?\
41'''Actioneer''': You were... Okay, '''seriously'''? You '''do''' realize that a '''Nazi blob''' that changes into a '''giant demon''' is like the '''least superheroic''' thing there is, right?
