* EldritchLocation: The Para-Zone is a weird dimension located outside of time. It resembles a starry void full of oversized eyeballs and neurons, and it contains many portals leading to different points in time and space. Anyone who tries to enter the Para-Zone without protection will die a gruesome death, with Colonel Weird being the sole exception for reasons unknown.

* FatalFlaw: Black Hammer's love for his family, particularly his daughter. He once ignored a desperate summons from Starlok because he didn't want to miss Lucy's tenth birthday, an act which implicitly allowed Anti-God to kill off the other Lightriders and put the whole universe in jeopardy. When the heroes later wound up on the Farm, he was so desperate to reunite with his family that he charged into the strange energy field surrounding the Farm without letting the other heroes analyze it first, leading to a gruesome and avoidable death.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: It's strongly implied that Black Hammer refusing to come to Starlok's aid so he wouldn't miss his daughter's tenth birthday is what allowed Anti-God to gain the upper hand and kickstart the Cataclysm. This was confirmed in ''[[AllThereInTheManual The World of Black Hammer Encyclopedia]]''.
