7 | * '''Downplayed''': |
8 | ** The yellow shirts take a hit more to go down than the RedShirts. |

19 | * '''Zig Zagged''': The Yellow shirt appears to be more intimidating than the other mooks, but in reality fights like a red shirt. However, many other yellow shirts are dangerously competent, but so are some reds, since it's all a matter of individual prowess and not designation. |

27 | * '''Implied''': The mook looks like another redshirt, but is able to stand out and give the heroes a hard time. |

30 | * '''Played For Laughs''': The elite mook makes a glamorous appearance with all red shirts lining up to take his autograph. |
31 | * '''Played For Drama''': Things are going smoothly for the heroes, until the elite mook shows up and things become tougher. He may even invoke DarkerAndEdgier if he takes out a member of the crew. |
