| 1 | * CrazyIsCool: Snowflame is a villain ''powered by cocaine''. The sheer absurdity of the concept combined with the fact he's played completely straight made him ''really'' memorable. Somebody even made [[WebComic/{{Snowflame}} a webcomic]] about him. |
| 2 | --> '''Snowflame''': Cocaine is my god, and I am the human instrument of its will! |
| 3 | * DoNotDoThisCoolThing: Snowflame is supposed to be a case of DrugsAreBad, but people seeing him would more likely make them WANT to do cocaine than stay away from it. |
| 4 | * EnsembleDarkhorse: SNOWFLAME! The sheer absurdity of a character powered by cocaine, being [[LargeHam the largest of all hams]], and also having some of the most bombastic dialogue in ComicBook history means that he's ''the'' reason people remember that this series existed. His popularity skyrocketed to the point he came back in 2020. |
| 5 | * FridgeLogic: The entire premise of the comic is that these people were chosen to breed and pass along their superior genes... [[DidNotThinkThisThrough and among their ranks were a gay man, a plant man, and a robot... man]]. Oh, and a chunk of the Guardians's choices for these superior beings [[EpicFail were already dead]]. |
| 6 | * MagnificentBastard: Snowflame, [[DependingOnTheWriter in his original appearance]], is a bombastic, [[LargeHam hammy]] Colombian Drug Lord that gains [[AddictionPowered superpowers from snorting Cocaine]]. Encountering the New Guardians, he warns them to leave his jungle before Ram attacks him. Easily defeating Ram while relishing the fight, Snowflame declares that he has other matters to attend to, revealing that he "never travels" the jungle alone and having his men ambush and apparently gun down the New Guardians. Snowflame orders his men to bury the heroes with their full affects because in "his jungle" he respects the dead. When the New Guardians ambush him at his compound Snowflame turns the tables by snorting a whole heap of cocaine and siccing his drugged out posse that worships him and cocaine as divine on them. An absurd concept played so straight it circles back to awe-inspiring, Snowflame is the most fondly remembered aspect of an otherwise forgotten book. |
| 7 | * HaveAGayOldTime: One of the starter villains was Hemo-Goblin, a goblin that gives people HIV ([[{{Narm}} seriously]]). In the 2000's the character's name being close enough to "[[EmoTeen emo]]" plus the association with blood prompted a very brief MemeticMutation reinterpreting him as emo. |
| 8 | * TearJerker: When Gregorio, formerly known as Extraño, appeared in ''[[{{ComicBook/Midnighter}} Midnighter and Apollo]]'', he acts with annoyance when greeted with his old name, remarking "No one’s called me that in years, fewer lived." At first, it might seem like an idle threat over his embarrassing past, but then important to remember that most of his old team died. It's entirely possible that the loss of his friends played a part in him losing his camp characteristics and becoming much more jaded towards heroics. |
