* ArcWords: "I was transformed."



* BetrayalInsurance: Charlene grabs Dr. Alba's gun and turns it on [[spoiler:Abomination]], reasoning that there's no way Dr. Alba wouldn't have a weapon that could hurt them, "just in case". And she's right.



* CameBackWrong: [[spoiler:Fortean tried to resurrect via the Green Door, only to find Emil Blonsky was already waiting for him, leaving him stuck.]]



* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Samson's invention of the Cathexis ray, and his dating Betty Ross.
* PainfulTransformation: [[spoiler:Skaar's]] re-empowering by Dr. Alba is, judging by the sounds, not pleasant. And she didn't give him anasthetic.



** The end of issue one reveals who's hunting Gamma Mutates. It's Skaar, [[spoiler:who seems to be bonded to the Abomination husk Fortean created.]]

* CallBack: The means [[spoiler:Abomination]] and Dr. Alba use to create Gamma Mutates is a modified version of Len's own Cathexis Ray.
* CannotSpitItOut: [[spoiler:Reginald Fortean quietly admits he never managed to tell his daughter he loves her. He doesn't get the chance here either, as she's teleported away before he can finish saying it.]
* CaptainObvious: When the team is attacked by Gamma Mutates, Doc Samson declares this, something Creel points out is redundant.
* CommonalityConnection: Titania and Absorbing Man both understand part of Stockpile's origins due to all three owing to making a DealWithTheDevil.
-->'''Stockpile:''' I was pissed off, and I let him turn me into a monster because I thought it would make me more important than the people who hurt me.\\
'''Titania:''' Damn, do I relate.\\
'''Absorbing Man:''' HA!



* CreepyGood: The Del-Rick fusion. As Del puts it, they do "spooky".
* EarnYourHappyEnding: After all they've gone through, Del and Rick manage to get separated in the final issue, allowing Del some peace of mind.



* ItsAllMyFault: Creel blames himself for the team's situation through issue 3. While Mary might love him, she's not terribly sympathetic.
-->'''Creel:''' And it's still my fault.\\
'''Mary:''' Nobody likes a whiner, honey.



* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:Abomination escapes, still in control of Fortean's body.]]



* NotNowKiddo: In issue 3, as Charlene is worrying about where the team might've gotten to, Del and Rick try getting her attention, but she keeps brushing them off until Del yells at her.



* SequelHook: [[spoiler:Abomination escapes, but the Gamma Flight team stick around to clean up his mess, with Dionne figuring there might be something in the labs she can use to rescue her father.]]



* WellDoneSonGuy: Dionne, as might be expected of the daughter of an insane perfectionist like General Fortean. [[spoiler:Abomination]] manipulated it for all it was worth, turning her into Stockpile.




to:

* WrongGenreSavvy: With all the things each of them has been through, the team aren't certain where they've ended up when the teleporter malfunctions, thinking it's either an alien planet, a Hell, or a BadFuture. It's actually none of those things.

* AtLeastIAdmitIt: Crusher hates Len, thinking he's an arrogant jerk. Titania points out ''he's'' a jerk as well, which he cops to. He just feels he's honest about it.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Partway through the first issue, the gang discuss Skaar, and how since his depowering no-one's been able to learn where he's gotten to, and no way of knowing if it even stuck (a not-unreasonable thing to worry about, given Rick Jones and Betty Ross's didn't).

!!Tropes included in ''Gamma Flight'':

* AmericanGothicCouple: The cover for #3 shows Titania and Absorbing Man in the pose.
* AtLeastIAdmitIt: Crusher hates Len, thinking he's an arrogant jerk. Titania points out ''he's'' a jerk as well, which he cops to. He just feels he's honest about it.
* BodyHorror: Stockpile's powers do not make for a pleasant sight to look at. And there's still Rick and Del's situation.
* TheBusCameBack: After his de-powering during Gerry Duggan's ''Indestructible Hulk'', [[spoiler:Skaar, son of the Hulk]], comes back once more as a Hulk to capture Stockpile. Issue two reveals that [[{{ComicBook/WeaponH}} Dr. Alba]] and [[spoiler:the Abomination]] have also returned as his backers.
* CompositeCharacter:
** As seen in ''Immortal Hulk'', Doc Samson is still inside Sasquatch's body, turning it green and growing out his hair to make it more like Samson's. Hence why he's now called "Doc Sasquatch."
** Meanwhile, Rick Jones and Del Frye are still trapped in one body, although it has two heads and are having trouble adjusting.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Partway through the first issue, the gang discuss Skaar, and how since his depowering no-one's been able to learn where he's gotten to, and no way of knowing if it even stuck (a not-unreasonable thing to worry about, given Rick Jones and Betty Ross's didn't).
* FugitiveArc: After deciding to help the Hulk in ''Immortal Hulk'' # 46, the authorities are after the team.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: When Doc Sasquatch talks about trying to get his real body back, he makes an unfortunate comment to Charlene:
-->'''Doc Sasquatch:''' I don't think the ''others'' get it, but I knew ''you'' could relate to feeling trapped in a body that feels so...''unnatural''.
-->'''Charlene:''' Just because my body is ''transgender''... doesn't mean it's ''unnatural!'' It's ''not'' the same! ''[runs away]''
-->'''Doc Sasquatch:''' [-Oh.-]
* JerkassRealization: Issue two has Len discuss the fact that he's a bit of an ass. His internal monologue muses on how he basically stole Bruce's powers and his girlfriend, then he's apologizing to Titania for being patronizing while also mentioning being condescending to Charlene.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Charlene's mention that none of the Gamma mutates has been permanently cured sort of lampshades Marvel's tendency of bringing them back with their mutations, one way or another.
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: For all Titania insists she and Carl aren't sticking around, and that they quit being part of Gamma Flight, they've still got the outfits, and she's the one who convinces Carl into helping with Stockpile.
* PoliceBrutality: A bunch of police intervene in the fight between Stockpile and Flight. The first one of the scene fires a "warning shot" at Creel's head. If he hadn't been adamantium at the time... Titania responds with her usual calm.
-->'''Titania:''' The ''hell'' was that! What, was that the ''warning shot? WE'RE TRYIN' TO HAVE A CONVERSATION HERE!''
* SickeningSweethearts: Carl and Mary are very affectionate of each other on the first issue. She even gifts him a ring of adamantium so he can transform whenever he needs.
* {{Spinoff}}: Of ''ComicBook/ImmortalHulk''.
* SpottingTheThread: Dr. [=McGowan=] takes note of things the team hears in their fight with Stockpile. Namely, that she'd escaped from a lab, someone had given her a codename, and she was expecting someone with gamma powers to come after her. Which means somebody out there is collecting mutates.
* SuperhumanTransfusion: A variant; issue two reveals that Dr. Alba and [[spoiler: Abomination]] are experimenting on grafting his skin to others to create gamma mutates.
* TwoGirlsToATeam: Of the six members, two are women (Titania and Dr. Charlene [=McGowan=]).
* WhamShot: The end of issue one reveals who's hunting Gamma Mutates. It's Skaar, [[spoiler:who seems to be bonded to the Abomination husk Fortean created.]]
** And in the end of issue two [[spoiler: We see the original Abomination is back.]]
