* EyepatchOfPower: Torin

to:

* EyepatchOfPower: TorinTorin. Made even more so in that it included a link to the RobotBuddy, SAM.



* RobotBuddy: SAM, a small golden monkey who acted as Torin's companion, and functioned to help him adjust and function in the future he arrived in. Torin's eventual development where he didn't need to be constantly linked with SAM was a bit of an issue for the little droid.

TitleDrop: The weapon used to collapse Sol into a black hole was a 'Starslayer Missile'. At the end of the arc, refugees from the Sol system have dubbed Torin himself as 'The Starslayer', though he was never directly addressed as that in the comic.
* TranslatorMicrobes: The headband/eyepatch Torin wore also functioned as a mental link to SAM, who acted as a realtime translator for Torin, who arrived only understanding old Celtic.
* {{Tuckerization}}: After Ostrander took over the series, a number of the newer characters (for example, Chris Heyman) were named for people he knew. This would be more prevalent in the [=GrimJack=] spinoff.
* UnfortunateImplications: A black villian appeared midway through the series named "Black Tom", but reactions to the stereotypical "Black [instert name]" format resulted in his later return as "Mad Tom".

* {{Stripperiffic}}: in the original Grell issues, Tamara was usually running around in an outfit best described as 3 large black diamonds linked by string (see the page image). During the Ostrander/Truman era, she started wearing mildly more modest space pirate garb.
