9	!!Tropes:
10	* AlliterativeName: '''H'''enri '''H'''uang.
11	* AllThereInTheManual: Most of the main mutants' codenames were rarely if ever used in the story, being more prominent in supplemental material and cover blurbs.
12	* ChromeChampion: Metalhead can turn his body into metal.
13	* DarkAgeOfSupernames: And how! Being a product of the 1990s, here there are gems among the heroes and villains. To wit:
14	** Among the main cast, '''Blood'''hawk (the wart-covered red demon-looking guy on the page image) and '''Skull'''fire (the blue-clad character in the foreground of the page image).
15	** Among the villains, Vulcann (with two 'n') the '''Blood'''smith (in this case, may be justified, as he has the ability to "shape living flesh").
16	* DemBones: Using his powers makes Skullfire look like a glowing skeleton.
17	* FacialMarkings: Sham has a sun over her right eye.
18	* MasterOfIllusion: Sham's power is to cast illusions.
19	* MundaneUtility: In the initial sequence of the first issue, there is a mutant underground rave happening in a desert base. The MC dances and bounces the music sounds off his body, then changes his body structure to another metal (since his power is "metallic mimesis", that is, to adopt the properties of any metal he touches), thus producing other sounds.
20	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Junkpile and La Lunatica's names have never been revealed.
21	* OverlyLongName: Metalhead's full name is Edward van Beethoven-Osako.
22	* SuperSpeed: Meanstreak is the 2099 X-Men resident speedster.
23	* TattooAsCharacterType: Serpentina has the tattoo of a snake running around her arms.
24	* {{Telepathy}}: Cerebra's power.
