* ALighterShadeOfBlack: The Composer recognizes that the capes in the Empire, Merchants, etc., are human beings with people they care about despite their actions, and considers them not the monsters that Nilbog and the Nine are. This is part of the reason she's trying to find middle ground between them and the other factions.

* HumiliationConga: [[spoiler: Coil suffers throughout multiple timelines in his attempts to escape the heroes and villains, only to be cornered and killed by Tattletale]].

** Coil notes that it isn't unusual among parahumans to have a trick up their sleeves in case of emergencies, but the Composer hides it the point that Dinah predicts his chances of beating her if she goes all out is barely over 5%.
