** Do ''not'' threaten her mother or Marcus. Of the four hitmen, three were sliced open and the fourth was killed with a ''[[DropTheHammer sledgehammer]]'' (she wanted to use something special for him). And Ralph Genovese, who sent the hitmen... He was the final victim of Hit-Girl's horrifically epic RoaringRampageOfRevenge.

* DecoyBackstory: We are initially led to believe that Big Daddy is an ex-cop who's wife was killed, leading to him becoming a vigilante and training his daughter to be the violent superhero Hit-Girl. [[spoiler:Eventually, the AwfulTruth is revealed; he was merely an accountant whose wife left him. He made up the backstory so he could vicariously live a comic book-style hero fantasy.]]

Removing this part: “ Though one could argue that the way the first volume ended she wasn't an entirely sympathetic character at that point. On the other hand, the book doesn't make any effort to justify her rape.” Not necessary because whether or not she is a sympathetic character doesn’t make what happens to her any less horrific and unjustified.


* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler:Averted in Volume 2, Issue 4, when he guns down a group of children. Then proceeds to kill the main character's love interest's mother and father and gang rape her with 2 of his henchmen. Though one could argue that the way the first volume ended she wasn't an entirely sympathetic character at that point. On the other hand, the book doesn't make any effort to justify her rape]].

%% * WeaponOfChoice: Two large unfortunately dildo-like batons, which, if lost, he'll sometimes appropriate from the surrounding environment (like chair legs or plywood) and occasionally modify with nails to make them more like a mace.

removed an Up To Eleven wick


* MadeOfIron: {{Hand Wave}}d by his dulled nerve endings but that fails to explain how he shrugs off the damage from repeated electric shocks and multiple beatings without requiring a lick of medical attention. The various pins and metal plates he got after the car accident would account for ''some'' of his resistance to injury, though this has clearly been turned UpToEleven.

* DidntThinkThisThrough:
** A teenager with no powers or special training decides to become a superhero. Especially when he fights crime for the first time [[spoiler:he ends up getting stabbed by one of the thugs.]]
** Then subverted by... most of the comic after that point. To start with, getting stabbed and hit by a car gave him just enough, very specific nerve damage to stop feeling almost any pain.

* DeconstructedTrope: Unlike other {{Tykebomb}}-turned-superheroes in other media, Mindy is clearly damaged by her upbringing as Hit-Girl, escalating into disturbing hallucinations of her Father still giving her orders and advice.
