* BrokenAesop: Sara has a speech on how she doesn't understand why humans are so possessive of the people they love and uses branding as a metaphor, no one points out that she has branded people she loves with a [[ClaimedByTheSupernatural demon mark]], irreversible marks of ownership. If you have one, the demon owns your soul and can control you almost utterly any time they want. However, as said [[http://whateleyacademy.net/index.php/content_page/9/443 Insanity Prerequisite (Part 1)]]:
--> you have to be willing to accept it on some subconscious level for the mark to appear."

** Deathlist is a psychopathic, NighInvulnerable {{cyborg}} who gets off on widespread carnage and considers the world to owe him a debt of pain. The most horrific thing he's done so far was to kidnap a mutant superheroine, jam a power-neutralizing device into her skull, then [[AnArmAndALeg hack off her arms and legs]] and give her to his troops as a sex toy. Then, when she died after more than a month of torture and rape, he impaled her corpse on a pole with a thank-you message to one of her former teammates carved into her chest. Not even his FreudianExcuse--that his parents tried to kill him by crushing him in a garbage compactor--nets him any sympathy after that.
** [[EvilSorceress Hekate]] is a wizardess supervillain-in-training whose rap sheet includes using a spell to enslave two of her classmates for a year, during which they were repeatedly raped and otherwise abused while [[AndIMustScream being completely aware of what was happening but powerless to stop it]], as well as the fact that the athamé she used in the spell was empowered by the ritual [[HumanSacrifice sacrifice]] of [[WouldHurtAChild two young children]]. Not only that, but during a magical battle with Fey, after trying and failing to ensnare her in the same enslavement spell, she summons a trio of iron elementals using the promise of dozens of future sacrifices. To top all that off, she used her athamé to stab Jade in the heart beforehand, just to torment Fey.

* {{Squick}}: Several examples. Almost all the main characters are UsefulNotes/{{transgender}} in some way shape or form and there are rather frank discussions of gender issues in the early chapters -- for example, Ayla is mostly female except for... certain elements of his body, Jade uses her powers to "tuck" herself in and this is described rather frankly -- did we mention that Jade is physically 12 years old? Sara essentially vomits out her entire set of internal organs when she "awakens". For the most part however, the series is a fairly standard slice-of-life high-school drama, except with super-powers.
