Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Incredibly Lame Pun is a redirect and not a trope by itself. When a character likes to make puns from time to time, lame or otherwise, it's called Pungeon Master.


* IncrediblyLamePun:
** Ian. '''''[[PungeonMaster Constantly.]]'''''
--->'''Ian:''' "I'm relentless when it comes to bad puns... and the pursuit of justice."
** Director Bestley gets in on it in the fourth issue. Salmons isn't amused.
--->'''Salmons:''' "Are the puns a thing we're all doing now, Director?"

Not an outcome.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: As Bestley points out, the terrorists' "X" belt buckles -- which led Ian to go in against them guns blazing -- count for ''nothing'' as evidence that Doctor X is still alive. It's a ''letter''.



* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:Mercy Gale took on the identity of Doctor X in order to make change for good, rather than just [[VillainsActHeroesReact stopping the actions of enemy forces]].]]

''Action Man'' is a 2016 comic book written by [[ComicBook/TheTransformersRobotsInDisguise John Barber]] and published by Creator/IDWPublishing, released to tie into both IDW's ''[[ComicBook/Revolution2016 Revolution]]'' event and the 50th anniversary of the Action Man toy, that reimagines the British hero as a James Bond-esque super spy to tie back to the character's military origins. Though taking on a DarkerAndEdgier tone than the TV shows that came before it, it still doesn't take itself too seriously: the first two issues involve [[UsefulNotes/TheChannelIslands Guernesey Independence]] [[SillyReasonForWar terrorists]], [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot a German wearing powered armor who calls people "pillocks"]], and our hero [[DestructiveSavior crashing a train]] into [[https://sheprethwildlifepark.co.uk/ Shepreth Wildlife Park]].
