- Crazy Is Cool: Minxy. The woman built a plane out of solid gold. When told it's not going to fly, Minxy responds that she may have been out of it when she thought it up, but she built it while she was lucid.
- Les Yay: "You're not...Sheriff, you're not in any way available, are you?"
- Spiritual Successor: The concept of a city inhabited by retired superheroes and villains is similar to Alan Moore's Top 10.
- Trailers Always Spoil: The final issue cover of the One Foot in the Grave miniseries spoils how the citizens of Tranquility beat Derek. What's even worse, the trade paperback uses the same image as its cover, so that part of the story is spoiled before you even start reading it.
- The Woobie:
- Minxy Millions was a former Kid Hero who fought as a child aviatrix in World War II. As an old woman, she's developed Alzheimer's which means she frequently keeps forgetting how old she really is and believes she's still a kid and it's still war time. Unlike other characters, she's not desperately trying to relive her glory days, her memory's just very messed up. Minxy still has plenty of moments of clarity, and doesn't seem pleased with herself when she realizes how much damage she's caused.
