* ILoveNuclearPower: When Jefferson finds out that Lady Eve was hit by 1 billion joules of electricity, he's wondering how a weapon could put out that much power. Gambi tells him the LightningGun would have been powered by a mini-nuclear reactor. So the heroes trace the radiation.

* DestroyTheEvidence: When Jefferson calls in the location of the weapon Lady Eve was murdered with, and the corpse of the actual killer, the message is intercepted and the intercepter sends an agent to recover both, fully expecting him to trigger the weapon in the proces. He does and the explosion destroys both the weapon and the corpse.

* WeHaveReserves: Anissa concludes that the boss of the unnamed man send to DestroyTheEvidence (see above) considered him expendable, and fully expected him to accidentally trigger the weapon.

* ShownTheirWork: Gambi says the lightning guns would require "a billion joules" to mimic Black Lightning's attacks. This is actually around the lower end of the energy of a lightning strike.

* ArtisticLicensePhysics: Both used and averted in the same instance. On one hand, the electrical burns are correctly displayed as looking entirely different from lightning burns. On the other hand, the lightning guns apparently use a ''portable'' nuclear power source, which is extremely implausible and would require a much higher technology level than has been displayed in the series.
