** [[spoiler:When Ashley is talking to her resurrected mother later, she elaborates; at first the training wasn't that bad, even exciting and interesting, but the pace picked up as time went on. They started at eight, and by the time they were in middle school they were dueling with ''lethal'' bladed weapons three times a week. Not only that, but she was trying to indoctrinate them, even giving them "herbal health" smoothies with alchemical drugs in them... without ''telling'' the twins what was in them.]]



** [[spoiler:Some of the massive amounts of MGH extracted from Ashley during her time in captivity ended up in the hands of the Hydra cell who resurrected her mother by mistake, and when the leader tries to use it to get an edge on the heroes attacking their base he ends up taking himself out of the fight.]]



* ExperimentedInCollege: [[spoiler:Ashley's mother dated a woman named Monique in college, but when she wanted to give her a key to her apartment Monique dumped her using this as a justification, having even been cheating on Yuri with a guy for two weeks. Yuri was apparently ''not'' experimenting, and ended up DrowningHisSorrows at a frat party... that ''somehow'' ended up with her in an underground cage fight across town.]]



* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:Skullface tries to gain an edge over the heroes by deliberately overdosing himself on MGH... that turns out to have come from Ashley's time as a captive of bad people. He promptly falls over, unable to stand, and given the germ-ridden environment Ashley is fairly certain that the poor condition of his immune system means that he's not long for this world.]]



* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: [[spoiler:Ashley's aunt Yuki has a habit of falling in with horrible people, oblivious to their intentions on her, forcing her sister to bail her out. Case in point, in high school she was dating an older guy who turned out to be a human trafficker, and despite the age difference and the fact that he never wanted to go out in public with her, and even when Yuri followed them to his warehouse and saved her twin by beating him up, despite the sketchiness of the whole situation she still complained to Yuri about how she didn't trust her until she saw the girls in cages. She thought that she'd taught Yuki to better recognize toxicity after that, but after they split up for college Yuki ended up hanging out with people who were fiercly anti-mutant.]]



** [[spoiler:Ashley's mother Yuri tried to protect her younger twin sister Yuki from being exploited or corrupted by toxic and horrible people her whole life. Unfortunately, despite her best efforts to teach her not to be a HorribleJudgeOfCharacter, Yuki ended up in the anti-mutant crowd when they went to different colleges and fell out of touch for a while. When Ashley was diagnosed as a mutant and Yui revealed her bigotry, all her affection for her niece disappearing like a flipped switch, Yuri was horrified to realize that she'd failed to protect her.]]



* NeverGetsDrunk: A side effect of Ashley’s powers is that she is effectively immune to alcohol, which only comes up because she mentions an ancestor who couldn't have had her powers because he hung out in bars.
** A more mundane version of this is mentioned in an interlude from Ashley's grandfather's perspective. Apparently, Ashley's mother could hold her liquor very well.

** Menace from "An Absolute Menace" is described as the "Ultimate Ashley" in that she's streamlined and somewhat edgier. This Ashley is fourteen and was kidnapped by Weapon V to serve as a host in experiments to create stronger symbiotes. In the process, both she and a weapon V symbiotes were repeatedly treated with the Calypso Serum, Killmonger's synthetic version of Wakandan Herb, and the Hobgoblin's version of the Goblin formula. This results in an older, much stronger Ashley permanently bonded to a very powerful symbiote that can breathe flaming sulfur.
