7	!!Tropes:
8	* AdaptationalBadass: Adult Molly herself is much more creative with her Epithet, using it to mask her group's presence when they break into the museum.
9	** Adult Molly's Banzai Blasters are also shown to be more competent compared to their canonical counterparts, some of them even have Epithets.
10	* AdaptationalNiceGuy: As is befitting of the role swap between Mera and Indus, Mera is friendly and enthusiastic. She’s described in her trivia card as “Size: Tiny, Heart: Huge”.
11	* AdaptationalVillainy:
12	** ''Indus'' is the one behind the museum robbery in this universe.
13	** Adult Molly leads her own Banzai Blaster squad.
14	** Trixie and Phoenica, Molly's best friends in the original, are part of her Banzai Blaster squad in this universe.
15	* AnimalMotifs: Like her canonical counterpart, Molly has a bear motif. She has a small bear pin in her hair ribbon, is referred to as Mama Bear, has retractable claws embedded in her uniform, and calls kids “cubs”.
16	* BearsAreBadNews: Played with, Adult Molly has the bear motif but is still a very kind person, but its played somewhat straight when she pulls rank. Her Banzai Blasters actually call her "Momma Bear".
17	* BenevolentBoss: While she may be strict, Adult Molly is kind and encouraging to her minions, and her minions in turn adore and respect her.
18	* BigBadWannabe: Young Giovanni is eager to become the "best bad guy"... sadly he's outclassed by the more experienced Epithet users, with most of his small victories being due to them underestimating him.
19	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Adult Molly may be a criminal, but she won't hurt children. She even has her minions keep an eye on Young Giovanni to make sure he doesn't get hurt.
20	* MythologyGag: Adult Molly's conversation with Young Giovanni on the power of his Epithet is word-for-word the same as the canonical version, right down to Giovanni trying to convince her that it's lava/acid/lav-acid.
21	** Likewise when Young Giovanni finds out that Adult Molly's Epithet is actually named "Dumb", Molly turns to stone out of shock as her stat sheet appears.
22	* RoleSwapAU:
23	** Molly swaps places with Giovanni. Molly is now the captain of the Banzai Blasters, while Giovanni is the kid in the museum after hours, but whereas Epithet Erased Molly was accidentally left behind in the museum, Epithet Switched Giovanni intentionally broke into the museum to prove he's a bad guy.
24	** Molly's friends and fellow students swap places with Giovanni's boys.
25	** Indus and Mera swap roles with one another. Indus is now the disinterested tour guide secretly plotting to steal the Arsene Amulet, while Mera is now his perky assistant who takes being a tour guide more seriously than he does. Mera even refers to him as Sir Indus the same way Epithet Erased Indus referred to Mera as Lady Mera.
26	** Percy swaps places with Sylvie. Sylvie is now the police officer (Although he's yet to make an appearance as Giovanni doesn't call the police) while Percy is now the psychologist who stuck around the museum in hopes of examining the Arsene Amulet.
27	* SuperSentaiStance: Adult Molly's Banzai Blasters naturally have their own posing technique, unlike their canonical counterparts, they are much more impressive, to the point where Young Giovanni fawns over them.
