They are good friends and normally appear together, but the epitome of their Lovely Angels dynamic can be seen in ''ComicBook/DaughtersOfTheDragon''.

* DoctorWhomage: Professor Justin Alphonse Gamble, an energetic, bizarrely dressed fat British man who pops up throughout the time stream, seen combating the incinerators who wheel around shouting their name at everything. Late of the [[TimePolice Time Variance Agency]], his mode of conveyance is a disappearing shop which helpfully changes to suit the time period. Clearly based on the Doctor, with probable special emphasis on the Fifth Doctor (the incumbent at the time of Gamble's first appearance, circa 1982).

* WhereDaWhiteWomenAt: Misty Knight and Iron Fist. Notable considering they showed the first interracial kiss between superheroes back in 1977.

* CutLexLuthorACheck: Lampshaded and inverted in a row by Paladin, when he fought Scorpion and got inside a warehouse of forgotten super-villain weapons. He took a random weapon, realized that it turns things into gold, and wondered what kind of fool could have had a ray to turn things into gold and use it for [[BankRobbery Bank Robberies]]. And then it hits him: "TURNS... THINGS... INTO... GOLD??? SoLongSuckers, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Screw This mission, I'm SO outta here]]!
