** MisaimedFandom: [[invoked]]He knows the quote, but he doesn't know that it's the hammer that breaks first, not the anvil. His whole episode is basically watching that hammer smash itself apart on Six's anvil.
* CurbStompBattle: Number Six vs. Number Two. Made all the more awesome in that he doesn't even touch him. It's sort of a Curb Stomp BatmanGambit.
