Danger Girl Team
An organization founded by former MI6 operative Deuce, Danger Girl is the world's first all-female espionage network tasked with saving the world from dangerous threats.
In General
- The Ace:
- Abbey Chase is a skilled markswoman, demolition expert and scholar with knowledge on various languages, cultures and mystical artifacts.
- Natalia Kassle was a member of Russian intelligence and is considered the Russian equivalent of James Bond.
- Syndey Savage is a former member of S.A.S and is skilled with a bullwhip.
- Sonya Savage is a former member of A.S.I.S and her skills with the bow are compared to that of a deity.
- Amazon Brigade: They're an all-female team of spies though Deuce is the head of the team and they have Johnny Barracuda and Agent Zero as allies.
- Badass Crew: They frequently deal with both human and superhuman enemies and have even teamed up with Batman.
- Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: Sydney is the beauty as the most sexual of the field trio. Abbey is the brains given her knowledge of various cultures and ancient artifiacts. Sonya is the brawn by default due to her emphasis on physical combat and being a former Bounty Hunter.
- Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: Abbey (Blonde), Sydney (Brunette) and Sonya (Redhead). For a time, Valerie was the redhead of the group as she was the third female heroine but wasn't a field agent.
- Lovely Angels: Initially, the girls were the trio version of this trope with Natalia, Abbey and Sydney. After Natalia is revealed as The Mole, Abbey and Sydney are the duo version of the trope until Sonya joins the team.
- Ms. Fanservice:
- Abbey Chase is a blonde, buxom woman whose main outfit is very tight and shows off her figure very well. She is occasionally subjected to Toplessness from the Back.
- Natalia Kassle wears a fishnet shirt over a black bra and is a Sensual Slav. She wears a white variation of this outfit in Mayday.
- Sydney Savage is arguably the best example of this in the series. Her outfit is a leather Spy Catsuit with a Navel-Deep Neckline. Combined with her Combat Stilettos, bullwhip and aggressive personality and she gives off a dominatrix vibe. In Back In Black, she wears a leather corset that gets ripped off while she's riding a bike at high speed causing her to go topless for a bit.
- Sonya Savage wears a leather tank top that shows off her midriff and tight, red leather pants.
Abbey Chase
A former treasure hunter whose skills and adventures earned her the attention of the Danger Girl team. She frequently foiled the plans of the criminal Conrad Donavin. She is a virtuoso of numerous languages and scholar of world history.
- Adventure Archaeologist: She was basically a blonde Lara Croft prior to joining the team.
- Badass Bookworm: Abbey is a scholar with great knowledge of foreign languages, ancient civilizations and mystical artifacts. She's also a master markswoman and demolition expert.
- Clothing Damage: In the first issue, Abbey's pants get ripped by a crocodile much to her chagrin.This never happened to Roger Moore.
- Dumb Blonde: Averted in the main book. Played straight with her "character" in Danger Girl Special whose catchphrase is "I don't get it".
- Everyone Loves Blondes: Abbey frequently catches the eye of male characters, especially the villains.
- Heroic Seductress:
- In the first miniseries, Abby gained access to the Peach's room by pretending to be a "party favor" for him. When he arrived in the room, she stripped and jumped into the tub, convincing him she was there to have sex with him all the while mentally retching from how repulsive he was.
- In issue 3 of Revolver, she seduces and then coerces Donavin Conrad into helping them get into a villain gathering.
- She tries to pull this act on a Cobra guard in the crossover with G.I. Joe. When it doesn't work, she settles for punching him out.
- Just Like Robin Hood: She is described a modern-day Robin Hood in the first issue.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In the Army of Darkness crossover, Abbey reads a text from the Necronimicon which causes Ash to start hallucinating zombies again and results in him getting arrested. She reads a text from the book again in order to resurrect someone who can help them but this also has the side effect of reviving an entire graveyard full of zombies.

- Vigilante Woman: Before joining Danger Girl, she was already dispensing global vigilante justice against criminals.

She briefly forms an Enemy Mine alliance with Abbey when the Fuhrer is possessed by Aticleas and starts draining the life force from all members of Hammer. After that threat is taken care of, Natalia tries to kill Abbey again but fails and seemingly falls to her death. Abbey posits that before she fell Natalia had a look of regret and realization that she'd chosen the wrong path. In Mayday, Natalia returns with no memory of her past and goes through a redemption arc of sorts but still retains her ruthless and cold-hearted personality. In Renegade, it is revealed she has joined the new Danger Girl organization but time will tell if she is genuine or if it is another ruse.
- Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: At first Natalia seems aloof towards Abbey but later seems to warm up to her, even giving her a ring as a token of friendship.

But while she's a Heroic Seductress she prefers to pretend to be submissive to trick her opponents rather than act domineering, although according to Johnny, she makes good use of her whip prowess in the bedroom. Kamizake also shows her using her whip to tame a wild crocodile (and it seems to literally fall in love with her).
