33----
34!!''Unit-M'' provides examples of:
35
36* ActionGirl: Shield's an [[http://Unitmcomics.thecomicseries.com/comics/6/ ex-military]] hard-ass that can project force fields and [[http://Unitmcomics.thecomicseries.com/comics/42/ carries a gun in her purse]]. Enough said.
37* AllMenArePerverts: When Shield [[http://Unitmcomics.thecomicseries.com/comics/28/ posts a photo]] of herself in a low cut workout top online, she's quickly [[http://Unitmcomics.thecomicseries.com/comics/29/ deluged]] with vile, sexually explicit messages.
38* BigBreastPride: Shield proudly flaunts her curves with [[http://unitmcomics.thecomicseries.com/comics/4 revealing]] [[http://unitmcomics.thecomicseries.com/comics/27 outfits]]. However, in an [[http://unitmcomics.thecomicseries.com/comics/29 issue]] where she's harassed about her chest size, she responds by covering up more and more as the abuse intensifies.
39* BuxomBeautyStandard: Subverted in an [[http://unitmcomics.thecomicseries.com/comics/25 issue]] where Shield's curvaceous figure is the focal point of vicious online harassment.
40* {{Cyborg}}: Meteor is [[http://unitmcomics.thecomicseries.com/comics/4 part-Monster, part-machine]]. He can also [[http://unitmcomics.thecomicseries.com/comics/9 activate]] battle armor.
41* DistractedByTheSexy: Shield's physique and form fitting outfits [[http://unitmcomics.thecomicseries.com/comics/4 regularly]] [[http://unitmcomics.thecomicseries.com/comics/32 command]] the attention of other characters. Not so much her teammates though.
42* FantasticRacism: [[http://unitmcomics.thecomicseries.com/comics/35 People hate and fear Monsters]]. This persecution is very reminiscent of that experienced by another M-word group in a different comic.
43* FlyingFirepower: [[http://unitmcomics.thecomicseries.com/comics/16 Meteor]] can fly and project concussion beams from his hands and visor.
44* FormFittingClothing: Basically, Shield's breasts cause this to happen [[http://unitmcomics.thecomicseries.com/comics/4 in]] [[http://unitmcomics.thecomicseries.com/comics/27 any]] [[http://unitmcomics.thecomicseries.com/comics/30/ outfit]]. Her preferred [[http://unitmcomics.thecomicseries.com/comics/43/ catsuit]] sports some pretty extreme boob socks.
45* GiantWoman: In [[http://Unitmcomics.thecomicseries.com/comics/52/ Issue 0.3]], Unit-M faces off against a pair of twin sisters who have created a duplicate of themselves that’s the size of a mountain.
46* HiddenBuxom: Shield starts covering up after getting harassed online because of her chest size. Though the size of her breasts makes them impossible to [[http://unitmcomics.thecomicseries.com/comics/32 completely hide]].
47* LatexSpaceSuit: Shield's [[http://unitmcomics.thecomicseries.com/comics/43 catsuit]] leaves very little to the imagination.
48* MaleGaze: [[http://unitmcomics.thecomicseries.com/comics/1/ Issue #0.1]] is very guilty of this. Subverted in [[http://unitmcomics.thecomicseries.com/comics/25/ Issue #0.2]] when the gaze is dropped as Shield's harassed over her appearance.
49* MostCommonSuperpower: Shield [[http://unitmcomics.thecomicseries.com/comics/19 sports breasts]] that are larger than her head. When she tries to [[http://unitmcomics.thecomicseries.com/comics/28 post]] a selfie on social media, she's almost immediately [[http://unitmcomics.thecomicseries.com/comics/29 harassed]] regarding their size.
50* OrangeBlueContrast: [[http://unitmcomics.thecomicseries.com/comics/42 Agent Orange]] is a waking embodiment of this trope, sporting orange body hair and blue skin.
51* RazorWings: Hawk [[http://Unitmcomics.thecomicseries.com/comics/42/ sports]] razor sharp metal wings that channel bio energy.
52* SelfDuplication: The antagonists in [[http://unitmcomics.thecomicseries.com/comics/40/ Issue 0.3]] are twin sisters called The Copycats. Their Monster powers enable them to create an unlimited number of duplicates of varying sizes.
