* {{Gayngster}}: The Annihilator. [[spoiler: Maybe. It's still not entirely clear whether he's bi--Sircea, the Priestess, has been his lover--or just faking it.]]

* {{Blackmail}}: Annihilator to Kyle. [[averted, since he later admits he wasn't going to out Kyle as gay whether he kissed him or not.]]

* BiggusDickus: [[spoiler: Several readers have noted Laampros's shadowed crotch bears a very... intimidating, distinct outline. He IS apparently a demon, after all.]]

Woolfson is also the author of the now finished webcomic {{Artifice}}.

->Superhero. Supervillain. It's complicated.

* StraightGay: Kyle, who have few stereotypical traits commonly associated with homosexuals.

* AManIsNotAVirgin: Averted with Kyle, who's never had sex on account of his fire powers being tied to his emotions, and as climax is a moment of peak of emotion...

* SuperReflexes: Annihilator has these, enough to punch someone several stories into the air then [[InASingleBound leap from building to building]] to catch them again.

* SuperStrength: Annihilator has strength enough to punch someone several stories into the air.

* RedHeadedHero: Kyle

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: The Annihilator seems to have no trouble with money, seeing as he can spend over $200 a plate on his RedHeadedHero dinner date. It's implied that at least some of this money came from [[spoiler: robbing Fort Knox]].

* BearsAreBadNews: As of [[http://webcomics.yaoi911.com/typ/ete-ch4-page-33/ Chapter 4, page 33]]. [[spoiler: Fluke throws one of Spooky's flasks in a last-ditch effort to thwart Annihilator and the Platinum Priestess. What pops out just in time to take PP's laser beam full-force? ''A massive, 20-foot tall bear. WITH LASER EYES.]]

** Everybody's quite liberal with them, with Kyle calling Fluke "Paul" in public and the Annihilator calling the Platinum Priestess [[AwesomeMcCoolName "Sircea"]] in front of a hero. The Annihilator also has no problem at all revealing his name (Duncan) to Kyle.

* WrongContextMagic: Kyle's flame abilities aren't a mutation, nor do they come from magic or alien interference. [[spoiler: Turns out he's the offspring of a king of Hell]].
