** Normally shooting a naked unarmed woman does little to endear the character to the audience. [[spoiler: Though given that it's Echo Memoria we're talking about...]]
** Many of Lono's kills fall into this category as well, such as the Carlito family and an abusive prison guard.

* ButForMeItWasTuesday: The elderly baseball player who [[spoiler:assassinated JFK]] asks Graves if he was an unwitting pawn in a conspiracy. Graves admits he knows a few details behind the monumental event, but he never investigated because he simply didn't feel an urge to.

* BeenThereShapedHistory: Issue 27 reveals Agent Graves may be directly responsible for no less than [[spoiler:the assassination of President UsefulNotes/JohnFKennedy, though his reasons are surprisingly poignant. He gave the attaché to Joe Di Maggio so he could avenge his ex-wife Creator/MarilynMonroe, who Kennedy had murdered to keep their affair a secret. However, Graves points out that there were ''three'' other shooters in Dallas, and he's not sure if Joe fired the fatal shot]].

* ItAmusedMe: As the series goes on, it gradually becomes clear that at least part of Agent Graves' motivations for his "game" boil down to this. Though some of the attaché recipients are {{unwitting pawn}}s given the opportunity to knock off Graves' enemies, and others are former Minutemen [[LaserGuidedAmnesia waiting to be reactivated]], many more of them are just ordinary people with no relevance to him whatsoever. On some level, Graves is just a sociopath who enjoys testing people [[WhatYouAreInTheDark to see if they can be tempted to commit murder if there are no consequences]]. As we learn in issue #8 ("Day, Hour, Minute...Man"), Graves still likes to test people even when he's not handing out attachés. In that issue, he leaves a $50 bill on the floor at a café to see if his waitress will pick it up when she thinks he's not looking, and then "lets it slip" to her that Lono has $2 million in his briefcase to see if she'll try to rob him. [[spoiler: She does, and Lono later brutally rapes her after getting his money back, leaving her with a hefty case of PTSD]].
