** Fauntleroy's Platinus is like a {{Gender Flip}}ped ''Comicbook/{{Witchblade}}'' (A sentient EmpathicWeapon that assumes the form of {{Stripperiffic}} "ChainMailBikini" armor for her male host...because she's a pervert.)

* SuperTeam: Agency Zero, a [[Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica JLA]]-styled team that shifted to TheMenInBlack paradigm, hoping that keeping up a [[TheMasquerade masquerade]] about their activities would keep {{SuperVillain}}s from having a focus to fight against.

Added DiffLines:

* CarFu: Gina pulls the ultimate example in issue 300, [[spoiler:by killing the BigBad Gothwrain DeaderThanDead thru a super-spell that pulls power from the primordial forces of the Multiverse that summons a spectral Gina-Mobile and rams him right into the nucleus of said primordial power.]]

Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup


* BleachedUnderpants: Fred Perry used to draw more adult material, and in fact still does. Gina has her origins in this material, which explains her proportions (and attitude).

** OurWerebeastsAreDifferent: One of the main characters is one of the few remaining were-cheetahs. Other {{werecreatures}} include lions, tigers, rats, and of course, werewolves. Each subspecies is able to shift between human, animal, and a "WolfMan"-style hybrid form. All of the weres retain their rationality in each of their forms, although they need to learn to control their instincts during childhood. Although the weres are separate species, they are capable of spreading {{therianthropy}} to humans if they choose. (Doing so requires a bite ''and'' an active desire to alter the target's aura.) They were originally created by a wizard as super soldiers before said wizard was betrayed. They have a HealingFactor for everything except attacks by another {{werebeast}}, silver, magic, and Dwarven steel.

* AmbiguousSituation: The comic ends with [[spoiler:Gina maybe or maybe not BackFromTheDead, or going on a time loop, or at least deciding to exploit the TimeyWimeyBall to lead the cast on a more proper ending for her extremely geeky adventures by reenacting the closing credits of ''Film/BuckarooBanzaiAcrossTheEighthDimension''.]] The only thing that is sure is that [[spoiler:Britanny is amused that Gina is still ''that'' much of a nerd.]]

''Gold Digger'' is a [[LongRunners long-running]] US comic from Creator/AntarcticPress with [[{{Animesque}} manga-inspired art]], written and drawn by Creator/FredPerry. The first appearance of the characters was in the anthology title ''Mangazine'' Vol. 2 #11 (September, 1991). They then got their own eponymous 4-issue miniseries (September 1992-March 1993). This proved successful enough to make ''Gold Digger'' Vol. 2 an ongoing. 50 regular issues were published between July 1993 and June 1999, plus a number of annuals. These issues were mostly in black-and-white. The series was then relaunched as a full-color series. Vol. 3 started in July 1999 and is still ongoing, becoming one of the flagship series of the company. After a utterly impressive 30 year run, Perry has announced that the series will conclude with Issue #300 in 2022- later revised to issue #301 in 2023.

Cloning Blues renamed to Clone Angst as per TRS, specifically about angst from a character discovering that they're a clone.


* CloningBlues: Averted. Brianna is a fusion of Brittany and Gina, magically brought to life by a curse, and Charlotte was a bio-engineered "harpy" created as a disposable weapon by a villain. Both have been treated as full characters in their own right from their very first appearances.
** Brianna still had concerns about this for a long time, though. Charlotte...[[TheDitz not so much]].

** Kevin Koss' family is composed of [[{{Expy}} Expies]] of famous fictions like the [[Film/MarvelCinematicUniverse MCU version of Colonel Nick Fury]] and [[Franchise/GIJoe Martin F. "Roadblock" Hinton]], essentially an army made of [[OneManArmy One-Person Armies]]. Ironically, and tragically, [[spoiler:[[DeconstructedTrope having this much badassery]] on the other side of the table measuring her up is [[ObnoxiousInLaws one of the (accidental) reasons]] why Penny dumps Ace temporarily.]]
