5	[[folder:List of Stories]]
6	# '''Decisions, Decisions''': Everything seems to be coming up roses for Kim, who has opted to take her college studies at a university in London. Unfortunately, she is unsure how or even IF to break the news to Ron, who has apparently made his own college plans closer to home. But Dr. Director might be taking the decision out of both of their hands...by offering to recruit Team Possible into Global Justice.
7	# '''The More Things Change''': Kim and Ron kick off their college days with a few unexpected twists, including a new Dean for Ron's school, and the arrival of a magical new ally that could make Team Possible stronger than ever. But as his secrets are revealed and a past evil rises to destroy him, will this newcomer's arrival be a blessing...or a curse? And is he REALLY Shego's ex-boyfriend?
8	# '''Bonnie Double''': It's a battle of the brats as a heated altercation between Bonnie and Camille Leon has Camille screaming for revenge. Desperate to protect Bonnie from Camille's wrath, Señor Senior Junior begs Kim and Ron for help. But will watching over Bonnie prove to be an even more irritating mission than capturing Camille?
9	# '''Homes away from Home''': Max is spending A LOT of time hanging out with Kim's family and she's not too happy about it. However, she soon has other worries when a forgotten enemy of Ron's releases Yono the Destroyer for revenge on Yamanouchi. But now, it's a whole new Team Possible they face...especially when Ron powers up and Max makes the scene.
10	# '''Monkey Power, American Dragon''': Caught in a magical sitch against an enemy she doesn't know, Kim's only hope to save a brainwashed Ron is to join forces with the American Dragon: Jake Long. But together, will they be enough to not only bring Ron back, but also to prevent the wicked Dark Dragon from returning to Earth?
11	# '''Far from the Tree''': It's a real family feud when Kim and Ron are introduced to Señor Senior Senior's sister and niece... Señora Nora Senior and Señorita Rita Senior. A woman of impeccable morals and honor, Nora has plans to finally terminate her younger brother's villainous "hobby". But when Rita becomes smitten with Ron, Senior sees an opportunity to take advantage of the sitch.
12	# '''The Possible Substitution Squad''': As a frustrated Kim and Ron swear off missions for 24 hours so they can share one romantic night alone, Dr. Vivian Frances Porter is abducted.

But when the true enemy is revealed, will this ragtag group of crime-fighting amateurs ultimately be up to the task?
13	# '''Swimming in Circles''': In this "mini-ep."-style story, Team Possible makes a detour investigation while returning from a mission, only to find themselves back at the infamous Camp Wannaweep. However, Ron is no longer the only member of the team with a bad camp history, as Max has also been an unwilling guest of the "place of evil". And like Ron, an encounter from his past now slithers into the present.
14	# '''Super Vir-Tu-Ron II: The New Warriors''': Kim and company find themselves making a return trip to the online land of Everlot to stop a shadowy entity from unleashing Frugal Lucre's internet-destroying virus.

Can Team Possible win the day without losing their minds?

17	!!This series provides examples of:
18	* AchillesHeel:
19	** Morgan Le Fay's spirit is linked to her staff, and can only act when she possesses someone who holds her staff. As soon as her host drops the staff, she's helpless.
20	** [[spoiler: Queen Vivi's brain is located in a supercomputer spire, that controls her RobotGirl avatar made up of {{Nanomachines}}. As soon as the spire is destroyed, her avatar is useless]].
21	* AffectionateNickname: "Baby" is Kim's for Ron.
22	* AlwaysNeedWhatYouGaveUp: In the first story, Gemini orders his Agent Delta, who is an expert at laser grids, to disable a [=GJ=] security system. The agent then mentions that he's thinking of the ''previous'' Agent Delta...[[DisproportionateRetribution who he had shot out of a torpedo tube for not putting enough sugar in his coffee]].
23	* AmplifierArtifact: Max's cane focuses his magic so he can make active use of it. He even compares it to a lens.
24	* TheArchmage: Maximillian Ambro is the reincarnation of Merlin, and every life up till him has only increased his repertoire of magical knowledge. As such, he has a magic spell for nearly occasion and is insanely powerful, able to summon lightning and earthquakes, repair totaled battlefields with [[BadassFingersnap a click of his fingers]], move faster than a plasma laser, propel himself into space and [[BatmanCanBreatheInSpace not require a spacesuit]], face the Yono one-on-one and even hold back the entirety of the Dragon Council single-handedly. Only Morgan Le Fay can be considered to be his equal.
25	* AscendedExtra: Zita Flores appears more often in this series than she did in the cartoon. She has even become a reserve member of Team Possible.
26	* AsideGlance: While watching Ron freak out at a robot Ron (with his copied brainwaves courtesy of Señor Senior Senior), Kim glances at the "audience" and says, "Why? Because I love him, that's why".
27	* BattleCouple:
28	** Kim and Ron, natch. She's got a state-of-the-art [[EnergyAbsorption energy-absorbing]] [[PoweredArmor battle suit]], he's the bearer of [[KiManipulation Mystical Monkey Power]] that grants him SuperStrength. Mess with them at your own peril.
29	** Jake and Rose also count. Between his draconic form and her AntiMagic huntress relics, the two of them easily take care of Le Fay-possessed Chang.
30	* BeQuietNudge: Kim did this to Ron in order to quiet him while Doctor Director asked them to join Global Justice.
31	* BerserkButton:
32	** Kim or Ron don't like it if the other of them is harmed/captured. Do so at your own peril. They also don't like it when someone [[MomentKiller interrupts their intimate time]].
33	** Max is this for Shego.
34	* BigBrotherInstinct: Hego has a chip on his shoulder regarding Max, since he was dating Shego at the time when she disappeared and pulled her FaceHeelTurn, and Hego views Max as somehow responsible. His other brothers are more friendly, but that just increases Hego's frustration since when they were young, Max's antics often dragged them all into messes that Hego was forced to clean up.
35	* BigBrotherIsWatching: Apparently, Jim and Tim built a transmitter that allows them to tap into security camera feeds. Kim apparently took it away from them, but the contract from "Car Alarm" required she give it back to them.
36	* BigEntrance:
37	** Lampshaded by Max in "The More Things Change", after Kim crashes through a window:
38	--->'''Max:''' ''(Repairing the glass)'' Okay, point of interest, there ARE ways to make a dramatic entrance that DON'T require someone to clean up after you all the time.
39	** Invoked in "The Possible Substitution Squad" when Max makes Kim and Ron's appearance as flashy as [[IncrediblyLamePun possible]].
40	* BornAgainImmortality: Max is the latest in a line of these, going back to before Merlin. Whenever the latest incarnation dies, all their worldly knowledge is transferred to a book which, along with Merlin's wand, is teleported to a cave in England, where it waits for the next incarnation, driven by visions, to find it.
41	** WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: An unfortunate side effect for some of Max's past lives is that their minds often can't handle the sudden influx of information, causing insanity. Thankfully Merlin, [[ConditionedToAcceptHorror whose studies in the occult let him handle it better]], made it so his wand would not only stick with the book, but also act as a lens to help future incarnations focus and manage the influx of knowledge, though it's implied that some of Max's more eccentric moments are the result of the transfer, especially given how he went LaughingMad when it happened.
42	** WhoWantsToLiveForever: Lampshaded by Yori at the end of "Homes Away from Home", when she points out the price Max has to pay for his power: he's stuck with memories of friends and loved ones who have been dead for decades, even ''centuries''. Add to the fact he was raised in the foster system, and the number of positive relations he has include [[AlphaBitch Bonnie]] and [[TheBaroness Shego]], and you can't help feeling sorry for the guy.
43	* BorrowedCatchphrase: When Nora informs Rita she's in trouble for her part in Ron's abduction, she imitates Ron saying "Aw, man", much to Kim's chagrin.
44	* CallBack:
45	** Kim and Ron fighting Gemini in the Behemoth is similar to the time they battled Drakken's robot warrior in "[[Recap/KimPossibleS1E1Crush Crush]]". The author admits this was a happy accident.
46	** The remote-operated helicopter from "The New Ron" makes a return in "The Possible Substitution Squad". Much like how Kim and Ron were more than a bit nervous about riding in a pilotless vehicle, Zita and Monique weren't really keen on the fact that Wade was steering it via remote control, with it being noted that they were clinging to their seats.
47	* TheCameo: From "The Possible Substitution Squad" onward, Drakken and Shego have made brief appearances in each story.
48	* CassandraTruth: Will Du and Team Impossible found it hard to believe Kim's claims of Ron's Mystical Monkey Power, with Ron himself not really wanting to back the claims up. However, Kim managed to ''persuade'' Ron to show them what he could do.
49	* CatFight: "Bonnie Double" begins with Bonnie and Camille Leon getting into a shopping brawl at the World's Biggest Mall.
50	* CatGirl: After being exposed to King Cobra's mutagen, Kim became a feline mutant. Ron found it to be [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom pretty hot]]. The author recently drew [[http://tuxedaaron.deviantart.com/art/Feeling-a-Little-Catty-643238443 a pic]] of Kim like this.
51	* CatsHateWater: Downplayed, but while Kim was a CatGirl, she didn't exactly waste time getting back to dry land when a lake was about to collapse onto her.
52	* ChainmailBikini: In "Super Vir-Tu-Ron II: The New Warriors", Kim finds her Amazon character wearing a rather revealing suit and comments that it's clear [[AllMenArePerverts the game was designed by men]].
53	* CharacterCatchphrase: Whenever Max says "Trust me", Kim knows things are going to get crazy.
54	* ContinuationFic: Picks up following "Graduation", and is considered more OriginalFlavor than [[DarkerAndEdgier most]] post-finale fics.
55	* {{Crossover}}: With ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'' in "Monkey Power, American Dragon".
56	* CurbStompBattle:
57	** Max is one of the few people who can absolutely ''crush'' Shego in a fight with Shego completely unable to lay a finger on him. Needless to say, Shego isn't very fond of the fact.
58	** Against the Fashionistas, Ron's Mystical Monkey strength is completely overkill. Even Chino dropping a pile of crates on him doesn't slow him down at all.
59	** Rita Senior may be a dab hand at gymnastics, but Kim has her beat many times over. Once Kim gets her hands on her for trying to steal Ron, the fight becomes, in her opinion, pretty pathetic.
60	* ADayInTheLimelight: "The Possible Substitution Squad" features Wade gathering Monique, Felix, & Zita to deal with a threat so Kim & Ron can enjoy some time together.
61	* DeanBitterman: Kevin Barkin.
62	* DeathGlare: Kim almost always gives one of these to Max, usually when he annoys her.
63	* DelayedReaction: Kim and Ron have one in "The Possible Substitution Squad" when they hear that Max had a date.
64	* DemonicPossession: Anyone who touches Le Fay's staff allows her to possess them. The only way to free them is to get them to let go of the staff.
65	* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu:
66	** Max is so far the only person who has ever beaten the Yono in a direct fight, something even Kim, Ron and Hana were never able to do.
67	** Kim and Ron managed to easily beat the Dark Dragon, the most dangerous threat to the magical world.
68	* DidntThinkThisThrough: Summed up brilliantly by Max to Chang during their brief [[CurbStompBattle encounter]]:
69	-->'''Max''': So...let me see if I've got this straight. Your plan...your ''[[SarcasmMode brilliant]]'' strategy...was to find a spellcaster...who was stronger than you...and convince that person...to help you bring back your master...another dragon...from the pocket dimension he's trapped in...so that he could take over all magic...and then rule the world. That part I got. But see, here's where you lose me. If...you were told 'No'...[[TimeForPlanB your backup plan]]...[[TooDumbToLive was to then]] ''[[TooDumbToLive attack]]'' [[TooDumbToLive this person]]...[[MuggingTheMonster who is stronger than you]]...and ''force'' them...to do it anyway. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not a chess prodigy or a brilliant military tactician by any stretch of the imagination. But I can't help thinking that there's a ''really'' big flaw in your plan. [[PreAsskickingOneLiner Let's put our heads together and see if we can figure it out...'kay?]]
70	* DistaffCounterpart: Señora Nora Senior, and her daughter Señorita Rita Senior, to Senior and Junior respectively. They also qualify as [[EvilCounterpart Good/Evil Counterparts]] to their relatives, as while Nora is miles more moral and martially competent to her younger brother, Rita (despite her mother's teachings) is a lot more open to evil as compared to her MinionWithAnFInEvil cousin.
71	* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: With his Mystical Monkey Power now fully active, Ron has a few slip ups with his enhanced strength.
72	* DoesNotLikeSpam: Apparently, Gemini hates ketchup on his hotdogs.
73	* TheDreaded: When Max appears in the hall of the Dragon Council to stop them from killing the human host of the Dark Dragon (Ron), a few of the assembled dragons call him "The Timeless One".
74	* DugTooDeep: How Le Fay surfaced. The staff containing her spirit [[SealedEvilInACan had been buried in an underground container by Merlin in a remote part of England]], the location of which he didn't share with anyone. Unfortunately, the container was unearthed [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom by an archaeological dig led by Maria Novak]], who would end up being Le Fay's first possessed host.
75	* DumpedViaTextMessage: A flashback in the second story shows that Max broke up with Shego by leaving a message on her answering machine. Of course, Shego was not happy about this, and made a point to show her disdain when they met again years later.
76	* EekAMouse:
77	** Maria Novak is deeply afraid of rodents. This becomes a ChekhovsGag when her phobia causes Le Fay to be terrified of the sight of Rufus, which Kim and Ron use to their advantage.
78	** At the end of "Monkey Power, American Dragon", Spud's mother has a similar reaction when Spud brings Rufus into her restaurant's kitchen.
79	* EnemySummoner: During his battle with Kim and Ron, the Dark Dragon conjured an army of his Shade demons in order to even the odds, only for Max to instantly destroy them all with [[PowerOfTheSun a handheld sphere of light]].
80	-->'''Max''': ''(tauntingly)'' Uh, uh, uh. No ringers.
81	* EnergyAbsorption: Kim's battlesuit has been modified to allow it to absorb energy. This also includes magical energies, to Kim and Wade's surprise.
82	* EngineeredPublicConfession: With Camille Leon looking to get back at Bonnie for messing with her, she steals the World's Richest Mall's diamond lightbulb while in [[MasterOfDisguise disguise]] as Bonnie and letting Bonnie get arrested for it. However, when Camille reveals herself and starts gloating to a BoundAndGagged Bonnie, she finds out to her surprise that [[BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame Max magically glamoured himself to look like Bonnie to get her to talk]].
83	* EvilCannotComprehendGood:
84	** When fighting the Dark Dragon, Kim tells him she knows Ron (whose body he is possessing) will never hurt her because of [[ThePowerOfLove his love for her]]. The Dark Dragon simply scoffs at such a foolish notion.
85	** Señorita Rita. She has a hard time wrapping her head around the idea of Ron choosing Kim over her, considering that [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney she can buy him anything he wants.]]
86	* FightingFromTheInside: Why Max is so relieved when he hears that the Dark Dragon's amulet is only mind-controlling Ron instead of by other magical means. That kind of magical mind control also suppresses Ron's spirit, but also suppresses his Mystical Monkey Powers in the process. That means that in order to use Ron's strength, the possessor has to reduce his control over Ron's spirit, giving him the chance to break free from the inside.
87	* FrameUp: In "Bonnie Double", Camille Leon tries to frame Bonnie. The reason: [[DisproportionateRetribution So she can put Bonnie in her place after getting in a fight with her at the start of the story]]. [[NeverMyFault A fight]] ''[[NeverMyFault Camille herself]]'' [[NeverMyFault started.]] While she does succeed, it gets undone with a combination of LaserGuidedKarma and EngineeredPublicConfession.
88	* {{Golem}}: In her first appearance, Le Fay creates one of the sand variety to be her [[TheDragon dragon]]. Later on, she creates an army of more common golems to fight Kim and Max.
89	** The way Max describes them, golems in this universe act like magical robots: [[ImprovisedGolem you can make them out of any local materials]] (sand, stone, dirt, wood, etc.), and programed with varying degrees of complexity (for example, Le Fay's sand golem has independent thought and personality, whilst the army she make latter are beyond single minded and ignore Shego because [[ExactWords their orders were to attack Kim and Max]]).
90	* GuiltByAssociationGag: When Jim and Tim brought out a device that would enable them [[BigBrotherIsWatching to tap security cameras]], Ron was worried that after yelling at the Tweebs, [[BystanderSyndrome Kim would get on]] ''[[BystanderSyndrome him]]'' [[BystanderSyndrome for not stopping them]].
91	* {{Hammerspace}}: In "Decisions, Decisions", when Kim reveals she reclaimed her confiscated Kimmunicator, Ron wonders where she had it when the uniform she was wearing was skintight.
92	** Max's top hat.
93	* HandbagOfHurt: In "Bonnie Double" when Team Possible fought against the Fashionistas, Espadrille wielded a handbag like [[EpicFlail a ball and chain]]. [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe Max was not impressed]].
94	--> '''Max:''' What do you think you are, seventy?!
95	* HeIsNotMyBoyfriend: During the flashback where Shego encountered Max for the first time since their break up, Max comments that he thought Shego would've moved on from the break up, mentioning Drakken. Shego immediately says the trope name.
96	* HeroInsurance: Played with. One of the reasons Ron was nervous about demonstrating his full Mystical Monkey Power to Global Justice was because he was afraid that they would make him pay for all the equipment he knew his powers would break.
97	* HeroicWillpower: Villainous Willpower, really, but Shego, so far, has been the only one able to fight back against Le Fay's possession.
98	* HoldUpYourScore: After Kim and Ron do a double take down of a WEE agent, Rufus cheers and applauds them while holding up a card that said "10.0".
99	* IconicSequelCharacter: Despite being a main character in the series proper, save for a brief cameo at the end of "Decisions, Decisions", Max is only officially introduced in the second story of the series.
100	* IgnoredExpert: During her battle with La Fay, Shego ignores Ron's advice to [[AttackItsWeakPoint knock the staff out of the hand of the woman she's possessing]], intending to win the battle ''her'' way. It unfortunately bites her in the butt.
101	* ImStandingRightHere: In "Home(s) Away From Home", when Fukushima appears with the Yono under his control, Sensei balks at Fukushima for entering into a contract with that 'abomination', much to the Yono's consternation as he's within earshot.
102	* InternalReveal: Happens a lot to characters, friend and foe alike, who are unaware of Ron's newly awakened Mystical Monkey Power:
103	** ''Decisions, Decisions'' has Gemini and his men learn about it, as do Will Du and Team Impossible.
104	** Team Go gets firsthand experience with Ron using it in ''The More Things Change'', to their surprise.
105	** In ''Bonnie Double'', Bonnie and Junior are both surprised by it when Ron briefly manages to stop a giant robot Junior is using in its tracks.
106	** Senior Senior Senor gets to see Ron's power in action firsthand in ''Far From the Tree'', and is inspired to use his new skills in his latest plan.
107	** Zita, Felix, and Monique are shocked when Ron casually busts through an army of Bebes in ''The Possible Substitution Squad''. The Bebes themselves are equally surprised about this.
108	** In ''Swimming in Circles'', Gil is painfully surprised when Ron is capable of beating him up with his MMP after being able to overpower him before.
109	* IsThatTheBestYouCanDo: Kim asks Max this after the latter returns just Ron's head to normal after being turned to stone by the Yono. Max counters he could have done better if she hadn't rushed him.
110	* ItsPersonal:
111	** Kim whenever Ron gets kidnapped.
112	** Max has a bit of a grudge with Yono, after the latter [[TakenForGranite petrified a loved one in a past life]]. Suffice to say, he ''really'' enjoys the [[CurbStompBattle ensuing beatdown]].
113	--->'''Max:''' I tell ya, you gotta LOVE guys you used to hate in a previous life. No matter WHAT you do to them, you just never feel bad.
114	* LaserBlade: The Lotus Blade can fire a blast of blue fire when Ron wields it while using his Mystical Monkey Power.
115	* LethalJokeItem: Or Spell, in this case. In the Everlot game, there are four spells based on the four elements that don't do anything, leading many players to just sell them off as junk. However, [[CombinationAttack when all four are used at the same time]], they form the Apocalyptico, a legendary OneHitKO spell so rare that most players don't believe it even exists.
116	* LightningCanDoAnything: In "The More Things Change", when Kim, Ron, and Hego are fighting Electronique, Kim asks why she's evil again after the events of [[Recap/KimPossibleS4E12StopTeamGo "Stop Team Go"]]. Hego explains that a lightning bolt not only restored her evil persona, but amplified her powers. Lampshaded by Ron.
117	-->'''Ron:''' You know, I gotta say, this could only happen in our world.
118	* LiteralMetaphor: In "Bonnie Double", while shopping with Bonnie at the World's Richest Mall, Senor Senior Junior tells her that he has TheStrengthOfTenMen to aid her, by which he means that he has ten {{Mook}}s to carry all the purchases she's made.
119	* LockingMacGyverInTheStoreCupboard: When Gemini was locked up in Global Justice headquarters, he managed to escape thanks to a laser tool he had hidden in the secret compartment of his boots.
120	* LongDistanceRelationship:
121	** Subverted with Kim and Ron. Even though her college is in London, thanks to the Sloth, Kim is literally able to drive there and back, allowing her to remain in Middleton.
122	** Played straight in "Monkey Power, American Dragon" with Jake and Rose, as even though Rose has regained her memories of her previous life, she still lives in Hong Kong, meaning that she and Jake have to continue relying on dream charms to have dates. Unfortunately, they end up having a fight over this when Jake comments that he'd like for them to date in person. Fortunately, at the end of the story, following the defeat of the Dark Dragon, they have a heart-to-heart talk in which Jake tells her [[IWillWaitForYou she's worth the wait for him]].
123	* LoveAtFirstSight: According to the author's belief, Ron fell in love with Kim when they first met in Pre-K and it took him twelve years to realize it.
124	* MagicWand: Combined with MagicStaff, Max's cane is actually Merlin's wand transformed to a modern day form. According to Max, the staff acts as a lens to allow him to control his magic, otherwise, it acts randomly.
125	* MakeOutKids: Not as bad as could be, but Kim & Ron are almost always seen doing so. Justified, as the writer felt the need to make up for the limited amount of romance displayed between Kim and Ron in the fourth season of the cartoon.
126	* MindHive: Subverted. When [[spoiler: the Bebes' unveil their Queen Vivi, a RobotGirl made of a conglomerate of {{Nanomachines}} courtesy of Vivian Porter's research, Wade at first wonders how they could've gotten a bunch of nanomachines to mimic a human brain, before realizing that they didn't; Vivi's physical form is actual a RemoteBody and her brain is actually that nearby computer spire that is controlling the nanomachines]].
127	* MissedHimByThatMuch: While on a date at an amusement park, Kim and Ron end up walking past Drakken and Shego, but due to the crowd and all the plushies Drakken is carrying, neither group sees each other. Drakken does hear Kim, but misses her in the crowd and concludes he was hearing things out of habit.
128	* MomentKiller: Happens quite a few times during Ron and Kim's [[MakeOutKids intimate moments]], to their annoyance.
129	* MurderIsTheBestSolution: Once the Dragon Council find out that the Dark Dragon is planning to free himself by possessing a human, they immediately make plans to stop him [[KillTheHostBody by killing his human host]]. Since that human is Ron, Max takes exception to this.
130	* NoodleIncident:
131	** During his argument with Dr. Director, Gemini mentions something called 'The Bathtub Incident'.
132	** While looking over an unseen list of emergency situations required for Global Justice agents, Kim and Ron mentioned that one of them involved Dementor using an earthquake machine in the Swiss alps, [[DidntThinkThisThrough resulting in an avalanche]].
133	** Apparently, sometime in the Freshmen year, Barkin called a fire drill during lunch on Cheese Pizza Day. Ron thinks he did it [[DisproportionateRetribution just because he corrected him on what chapter they were on in English class]].
134	** In "Home Away from Home", Mr. Possible tells Max about one time when the space center's Mars Lander touched down, the transmission accidentally got crossed with the microscopic camera feed from their lab's roach farm, which lead to everyone in the viewing room having a FreakOut over BigCreepyCrawlies living on Mars until someone noticed the mistake.
135	** In "Monkey Power, American Dragon", it was mentioned that Fu Dog once lost a month's worth of Canal Street Electronics's receipts on a centaur race. Apparently, the bookie he talked to had said it was a lock.
136	** In "Super Vir-Tu-Ron II: The New Warriors", it's revealed that Max has worked with Global Justice in the past, much to his displeasure. Not because the job went south- quite the opposite really- but because they won't stop pestering him to join.
137	* NotSoDifferentRemark: Ron notes in "The More Things Change" that Max & Shego's relationship seems like a twisted version of him and Kim's. Max replies that the main difference is Kim & Ron clearly like being together.
138	* NotSoStoic: Not even Global Justice agents can resist Ron's [[SupremeChef cooking]]. They were more than a little ecstatic when he left behind a cook book for their mess hall.
139	* NotWhatItLooksLike: In "Far From The Tree", when Ron is being chased by Rita Senorita and Kim comes to his rescue, he desperately claims he did ''nothing'' to encourage Rita's behavior. Kim believes him. His screams helped to convince her.
140	* NowYouTellMe: Kim doesn't take it well when Max neglects to mention something important until the last moment.
141	* ObstructiveBureaucrat: Max considers the Dragon Council to be a bunch of old fools who care only about keeping their control.
142	* OhNoNotAgain:
143	** Le Fay's sand golem was pretty upset that it fell for Ron's [[LiterallyShatteredLives shockwave trick]] again.
144	-->'''Sand Golem''': ''(To a grinning Ron)'' [[FacingTheBulletsOneLiner I don't like you.]]
145	** This is Ron's reaction to fact that Barkin's cousin is the dean of his college ''and'' he's been warned about Ron by said cousin.
146	* OneDegreeOfSeparation: Max has a surprising amount of connections to Kim and Ron's lives: He knows Team Go and used to be Shego's boyfriend, he knows Bonnie through dating one of her sisters, one of his past lives went to Yamonouchi, he's been to Wannaweep, he's worked with Global Justice on a case, and he's one of the greatest players of Everlot.
147	** Also, he knows [[WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong Fu Dog]] by means of one of his past lives.
148	* OrganAutonomy: Drakken's mutant vines appear to have wills of their own, with one ever referred to as #6. WordOfGod is that the idea was based on the ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'' episode "[[Recap/DarkwingDuckS1E21Aduckyphobia Aduckyphobia]]".
149	* OriginalFlavor: Unlike most stories that like to up the drama, the series keeps the show's lighthearted tone.
150	* OurMagesAreDifferent: Max is the latest in a long line of reincarnations of Merlin the wizard. Prior to recovering the memories of his past lives and obtaining the cane that lets him control his magic, its effects were completely random, seemingly appearing as Max having an unbelievable streak of good luck.
151	* PartingTheSea: When Gill demonstrates MakingASplash powers, Ron cuts him off from his water source by creating a ShockwaveStomp that parts Lake Wannaweep in two. After grabbing him, Kim, while in CatGirl form, ran as fast as she could back to shore before the water re-collapses.[[note]]The author admits it might seem symbolic considering Ron's Jewish heritage, but claims it was unintentional[[/note]]
152	* PassThePopcorn:
153	** During the battle with Le Fay while she possessed Maria Novak, Max sat and watched from the sidelines cause he knew that Kim and Ron could handle her on their own.
154	** Once she hears that [[AlphaBitch Bonnie and Camille Leon]] are having a CatFight at the mall and it's on TV via hacked security cams, Kim immediately tells Ron to grab the popcorn.
155	** Max did it again during his fight with the Yono. After blowing the Yono into a mountain and raining lightning down on him, he instantly teleported back with 3-D glasses and a bag of popcorn to watch the results.
156	* PersonaNonGrata: Because of his love of [[PickACard card tricks]], Max is not allowed in Atlantic City.
157	* PlasmaCannon: The hand module of Kim's battlesuit has been replaced with a Photon Cannon that fires the energy the suit absorbs. Kim and Ron have made a CombinationAttack out of using this in conjunction with Ron's mystical energies to supercharge it.
158	* PreMortemOneLiner: Subverted before Wade and Felix [[spoiler: short-circuit Queen Vivi's computer spire brain]].
159	--> '''Wade:''' Um, excuse me? There really isn't a single electrical pun I could come up with that wouldn't just end up sounding totally lame, so why don't we just cut to the chase?
160	* PunchAWall: When Ron learns that Mr. Barkin's cousin Kevin is the dean of Upperton Community College, he goes into a fit about having to deal with ''[[OhNoNotAgain another]]'' [[OhNoNotAgain Barkin]] and ends up losing control of his [=MMP=] and punching a hole in the wall, much to Kim's ire.
161	* PunchCatch: Ron does this to the [[spoiler: Dark Dragon]]. Without even breaking a sweat. Much to everyone's surprise. And on another occasion, to a [[RobotGirl Bebe]].
162	* RememberTheNewGuy: Apparently, Señor Senior Senior has a sister named Nora who disapproves of her brother being a supervillain. The reason she hasn't appeared prior is because she was focusing on her daughter Rita's education.
163	* RobotMe: In "Far From The Tree", Señor Senior Senior attempted to create an army of robots in Ron's image, [[BrainUploading programmed with his fighting skills]]. However, even though they have Ron's fighting skills, [[MagicVersusScience they don't possess his Mystical Monkey Power]].
164	* SensualSpandex: In "Decisions, Decisions", Ron thought that the Global Justice uniform looked pretty hot on Kim because of how tight it was.
165	* ShoutOut:
166	** In the second story of the series, Shego referred to Le Fay as [[Franchise/DuckTales Magica De Spell]].
167	** According to the author, he sees Max's crazy laughter exactly like that of ''WesternAnimation/EarthwormJim''.
168	** As mentioned under OrganAutonomy, one of Drakken's vines is named "[[WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck #6]]".
169	* SideBet: In "Bonnie Double", Kim and Ron make a bet on when Bonnie will start complaining about having to be guarded by them. When she starts moaning before Max even leaves, Kim tells Ron to pay up.
170	* SidekickGraduationsStick: After activating his Mystical Monkey Power full time, Ron has become Kim's full fledged partner and now does as much villain clobbering as her.
171	* SkywardScream: At the end of "Far From The Tree", Kevin Barkin lets out one when Max makes a fool out of him a second time. The scream results in some DisturbedDoves but Kim and Ron don't notice due to being in a moment.
172	* SleepCute: In "Far From The Tree", James and Anne come home to find Kim and Ron laying together on the couch. While Anne finds it adorable, James is initially apprehensive over it.
173	* SnakePeople: King Cobra, of course. Unfortunately for him, he discovers too late that he has the reptilian [[KillItWithIce weakness for cold]].
174	* SomethingWeForgot: At the end of "Monkey Power, American Dragon", Max feels he had forgotten something and knew it would bug him until he remembered what. Sure enough, he forgot to take his spell off Professor Rotwood which made him go away...[[LiteralMinded causing him to keep going all the way through New Jersey]].
175	* SpeakingLikeTotallyTeen: While trying to sneak into the Robot Rumble club, Felix tries to street-slang his way past the bouncer. His companions Monique and Zita just find his attempts ridiculous.
176	* SpeakInUnison: Like in canon, Kim and Ron do this as part of their flirting. Ron owes Kim several sodas at one point.
177	* SpellBlade: When Ron wields the Lotus Blade in [=MMP=] mode, it turns black and is covered in blue fire that can be fired from the blade.
178	* SpotTheImposter: When confronting [[MasterOfDisguise Camille Leon]] who has shapeshifted herself into Kim, a confused Ron asks Max for help, but the real Kim simply does something Camille would never do - [[MakeOutKids kiss the daylights out of Ron]]. Camille is so discombobulated and [[WhatDoesSheSeeInHim sickened by the sight]] that [[GlamourFailure she transforms back into herself]].
179	* SssssnakeTalk: King Cobra talks like this.
180	* StalkerWithACrush / {{Yandere}}: Señorita Rita Senior. After Ron inadvertently saves her from [[ItsALongStory a toppling robot]], she [[RescueRomance becomes infatuated with him]]. Unfortunately, she doesn't take rejection well and even goes to lengths such as disguising herself as Kim and flat-out ''kidnapping'' Ron.
181	* StopHittingYourself: During a confrontation with [=WWE=], Ron grabs a henchman by the arm and slaps him with it, saying this taunt as he does.
182	* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: Max agrees with Ron's assessment of Wannaweep as a "place of evil".
183	* TakenForGranite: Ron ends up this way, courtesy of Yono in "Homes Away From Home," but Max & Hana manage to restore him.
184	* TakingYouWithMe: When he was being sucked back into the pocket dimension along with the Dragon Temple, the Dark Dragon tried to drag Kim & Ron in with him, but they managed to escape with the help of Max, Jake, and Rose.
185	* TemptingFate:
186	** While Kim and Ron are bodyguarding Bonnie who has found herself the target of Camille Leon, the brunette stomps upstairs out of sight to use the bathroom. A few moments later, Kim and Ron hear thumping noises upstairs, leading Ron to wonder if Bonnie was pulling a BathroomBreakOut before dismissing her as too prissy to try. Cue them finding Bonnie hanging off the rain gutter having failed to climb out the window.
187	** In "Far From the Tree", just as Kim is saying that Rita Senior's crush on Ron is a passing thing that will blow over, Ron runs screaming past her, pursued by Rita who is dressed up to look like Kim (complete with wig).
188	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Max is rarely seen without a cup of tea when he's not in action. Even in action, he sometimes implements a MidBattleTeaBreak to throw off or taunt his opponents - heck, he once caught Shego's plasma blasts in his top hat and used them to heat up his teacup!
189	* TricksterMentor: Max shows shades of this, often holding back from jumping into the fray to let Kim and Ron handle themselves, as well giving them a chance to discover things without him holding their hand.
190	* UnderestimatingBadassery:
191	** Both Le Fay and the Dark Dragon did this when first encountering Kim and Ron, believing them to be just 'mere mortals'. They ended up learning the same lesson villains before them discovered.
192	*** In particular, they regard Ron as the bigger threat, believing that because of his Mystical Monkey Power, he's the more dangerous one while Kim is merely an insignificant mortal who will be easily cowed and broken before their magical might. They both get a firsthand and painful lesson about how wrong that assumption is, though Le Fay at least learns from her mistake in subsequent appearances.
193	** A notable instance is in "The Possible Substitution Squad", when the [[RobotGirl Bebes]] confront the new [=MMP=]-powered Ron.
194	---> '''Bebes:''' TAR-GET: RON STOP-PA-BLE! LE-VEL OF THREAT: IN-CON-SE-QUEN-TIAL!\
195	''(One Bebe tries to strike Ron, only for him to pull a PunchCatch and fist crush)''\
196	'''Bebes:''' [[VerbalBackspace RE-AS-SES-SING LE-VEL OF THREAT: MO-DER-ATE!]]\
197	''([[OffWithHisHead Ron kicks off the Bebe's head]])''\
198	'''Bebes:''' RE-AS-SES-SING LE-VEL OF THREAT: SUB-STAN-TIAL!\
199	''(Ron sends out a [[ShockwaveClap Shockwave Punch]] that flattens the front ranks of Bebes)''\
200	'''Bebes:''' [[OhCrap RE-AS-SES-SING LE-VEL OF THREAT: EX-TREME!]]
201	** Ron ends up on the receiving end of this trope quite often. Due to most of their enemies being LockedOutOfTheLoop in regards to his Mystical Monkey Power, quite a few of them initially believe that he's still Kim's bumbling sidekick before getting a painful lesson that he's far from the near-helpless teen they knew him as.
202	* UnexplainedRecovery: As in the canonical "Queen Bebe", it isn't explained in "The Possible Substitution Squad" how the Bebes came back again, with Kim wondering how many more times she and the others would have to deal with them until they were put down for good.
203	* UnskilledButStrong: While Ron's [=MMP=] also gives him super kung fu moves, he mostly uses it for SuperStrength.
204	* UnstoppableRage: Both Kim & Ron will direct it at anyone who harms/captures the other. One example is from "Decisions, Decisions" where Kim faces down a HumongousMecha just to get at Gemini for injuring Ron's hands.
205	* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Kim ''really'' hates it when someone harms or kidnaps Ron.
206	* WasOnceAMan: King Cobra was once a scientist named Cobra Kingsley, until an accident with snake venom turned into him a [[SnakePeople Snake Man]]. After awaking from a twenty-year hibernation after an encounter with Max, he comes to realize he ''likes'' his new form.
207	* WaterSourceTampering: How King Cobra was planning to distribute his mutagen, by having his mutagen bombs detonate over large water supplies around the world.
208	* WeaksauceWeakness: According to Max, DemonicPossession (or at least, Le Fay's form of it) is a two-way door: the possessed get the possessor's strength and knowledge, but the possessor gets the possessed's weaknesses, both physical and mental (in the case of Maria Novak, [[BlindWithoutThem her poor eyesight]] and [[EekAMouse fear of mice]]).
209	* WildTake: Kim and Ron do this twice in "The More Things Change", first when Max is revealed to be Shego's ex-boyfriend and second when they hear that he's connected to Merlin. [[TheGadfly Both times, Max is there to get a picture of their expressions]].
