  • In Ex-Patriots, George suggests promoting one of several former Seventeens as a sign of trust, to the consternation of many of his friends. Stealth rejects one candidate, Gomez, due to feeling that if they're going to promote any of their former enemies, they should do so based on competence as a fighter rather than previous status in Legion's gang.
    George And if he is the most competent?
    Stealth: Gomez once attempted to fight Gorgon while wearing a welding mask and using the name Painkiller. If he is the most competent they have to offer this entire discussion is moot.
  • Ex-Communication has a couple of good ones:
    • When they decided to test Madelyn's invisibility to exes, they basically had her tease an ex-human that was playing host to Legion. Cue the superheroes having some fun at Legion's expense.
    • Stealth comments that one scavenger carries an Awesome, yet Impractical samurai sword (that he never tries to use) in an effort to impress an Action Girl he has a crush on.
    • Zzzap's practical joke on St. George in the epilogue. St. George's reaction to finding out it was a joke was the icing on the cake.
      "You bastard!" - St. George
  • Zzap fails to recognize Stealth the first time he meets her out of costume despite getting plenty of hints.
  • George’s reaction to his Indy Ploy to meet Karen working.
  • Basically everything that comes out of Berry’s mouth.
    Barry: You better be very pretty or offering me a lot of money.
  • The fact that everyone still refuses to call Cesar the Driver.
    Stealth: That is your car
    Danielle: No, It’s Cesar
    The horn let out three long angry blasts.
    Danielle: I am not calling you the Driver.
  • George and Christian’s reaction to her shooting him in the teeth.
  • There's something hilarious about how the only time Stealth walks around without a mask is on Halloween.
  • The flashback where Banzai reveals her secret identity to her parents to make them evacuate has some good humor. Her dad is mad that her superhero name is based on the language of a culture that oppressed their people in World War II. Her mom gets indignant about how anyone could mistake her "beautiful girl" for a male hero, with Banzai replying that her sister got the curves in the family.
  • In Ex-Isle, one of the signs that mistakenly makes Danielle think the Project Krypton soldiers are planning a coup is how one of the men in the guard tower is looking inside at the gardeners rather than outside at the Exes. It turns out that he just has a crush on one of the gardeners and is sneaking peeks at her.
