** Also, Dai Thomas's dislike of superheroes is depicted as a reaction to the death of his wife during a battle of "superbeings." Though only visible in silhouette, these were obviously [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]] and [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk the Hulk]]. We're told that they were "carelessly oblivious of the life snuffed out in their wake" (which, really, doesn't even fit the Hulk's character, let alone Thor).

* PullTheTriggerProvocation: After his sister Betsy replaces Brian as Captain Britain, Slaymaster savagely beats and blinds her. An appalled Brian arrives to save her and the battle ends with Brian holding a huge, jagged rock over a prone Slaymaster’s head. At the last moment, he pauses. At which point Slaymaster taunts him - and the rock comes crashing down.

* AMindIsATerribleThingToRead: When Brian's EvilDoppelganger Kaptain Britain attempts to rape Betsy, she scans his mind and gets a montage of the horrible things he's done. Among other things, one image suggests that he's already killed his own world's version of Betsy. She immediately kills him with a desperate PsiBlast, but the experience leaves her ''very'' shaken.

* ReformedButNotTamed: The Mastermind ArtificialIntelligence is no longer a murderous villain, but it can still be manipulative and pragmatic in pursuit of a greater good (conspiring with the RCX and framing Brian for some of his brother's crimes, for example). It doesn't quite slip into WellIntentionedExtremist territory, but it's often portrayed as if it ''could''.

* TheChessmaster: Mastermind, the ArtificialIntelligence running Braddock Manor. It's got noble aims, but tends to be manipulative in ways that slide towards WellIntentionedExtremist.

Brian tells him he needs to wear the helmet, as it's mentally controlled. He does, only to discover that it's mentally controlled ''by Brian'', not him. Once he's been forced to free Brian, the costume flies him into a wall.
