5
6* BSideComics: "Min & Max: Valerie the Baby Sitter" ran from April to August 2009. Samantha Lewis' unplanned appearance toward the end of that story coincided with the sharp spike in readership.
7* CityOfAdventure: St. Justin.
8* CuteBruiser: Ant Woman.
9* DistressedDude: Part of the plot of the first volume.
10* TheDragon: Mr. Miasma, reluctantly.
11* DumbMuscle: the Operator's henchman, Pound.
12* GreenAesop: Pretty much sums up the premise. Despite common belief though, this isn't the only criticism of the comic.
13* HehHehYouSaidX: During Samantha's lecture:
14-->'''Samantha:''' Tobacco smoke contains at least 69 known chemicals that cause cancer. They include arsenic, lead, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and radioactive polonium. Yes, I said ''radioactive''!
15-->'''Boy in audience:''' (snickering) She also said "69"!
16* InvisibleStreaker: On the pages for late June 2008, Samantha is nude and invisible just long enough to rescue Matthew Black when he's at his most vulnerable.
17* LOL69: During Samantha's lecture:
18-->'''Samantha:''' Tobacco smoke contains at least 69 known chemicals that cause cancer. They include arsenic, lead, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and radioactive polonium. Yes, I said ''radioactive''!
19-->'''Boy in audience:''' (snickering) She also said "69"!
20* AMinorKidroduction: On the first two pages, Samantha and Carmen are shown as young girls.
21* MostCommonSuperPower: Despite appearances, Samantha's ample breasts are natural.
22* MySuitIsAlsoSuper: Captain Light.
23* NextSundayAD: The first volume debuted at Platform/ComicGenesis in February 2008 after a trial at [=MidcoNet=], but its story is set circa 2011.
24* TheNudifier: Ant Woman, in her non-heroic identity, met such a robot at the jewelry store.
25* PowerTrio: Ant Woman is the id, as she tries to compensate for her dwarfism by becoming more of a fighter. The Easy Breather is the superego, or conscience of the group, though her judgment isn't perfect. That leaves Captain Light as the ego, mediating when his female allies have a difference of opinion.
26* RidiculousFutureInflation: During her radio interview, Samantha spoke of gasoline priced at $10 per gallon.
27* RightHandCat: Karman's cat, Delilah.
28* SelfDisposingVillain: Karman [=McKnockside=] died from an overdose of nicotine.
29* {{Shower Scene}}s: The first volume has two with Samantha and one with Dr. Rubin before he became Mr. Miasma.
30* [[TakeThat/{{Webcomics}} Take That!]]: The museum robbers, Neal and Nikki, were named from the reply address used in a persistent spam email campaign.
31* TerribleTrio: The Operator, Star and Pound.
32* [[ComicBookFantasyCasting Webcomic Fantasy Casting]]:
33** Ant Woman is based on Creator/PattyMaloney.
34** The Operator is intended to resemble Elizabeth Ashley.
35** Harriet Flynn, the lanky petty thief who impersonates Samantha Lewis, looks rather like [[Series/MorkAndMindy Pam Dawber]].
36* WickedWitch: Karman [=McKnockside=] again.
37* XtremeKoolLetterz: Karman again.
