| 13 | * AgeLift: In the magazine version, Lupé is described as being 17 years old. The album version raises her age to 19 while keeping Jimmy the same age (15). |
| 14 | * BrainsAndBrawn: Jimmy is the muscle of the duo, clobbering baddies with his gorilla strength, while Lupé, as a scientist, is the brains. |
| 15 | * BrotherSisterTeam: Jimmy and Lupé travel the world on adventures together. |
| 16 | * InconsistentSpelling: Lupé's name is written without the accent in the magazine version, but with the accent in the album version. |
| 17 | * PutTheirHeadsTogether: In one story, Jimmy [[https://branchesculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/jimmy-tornado-frc3a9dc3a9ric-antoine-jean-franc3a7ois-vachon-choc.jpg knocks]] a couple of bad guys' heads together. |

| 19 | * SpotlightStealingTitle: When the comic went from magazine to album, it was rechristened from ''Jimmy & Lupe Tornado'' to just ''Jimmy Tornado''. [[https://www.actuabd.com/Frederic-Antoine-et-Jean-Francois-Vachon-Jimmy-Tornado-La-serie-Harry-Potter According to the creators]], this was out of a need for a punchier title and not wanting to drop the impact of "Tornado". |
| 20 | * TeenGenius: At 19, Lupé is a brilliant and respected multidisciplinary scientist. |
