Nyx, an Irken anarchist inspired by Zim, and her SIR butler Ying come to Earth to join Zim's forces.
- Affably Evil: Nyx is pretty genial and happy-go-lucky for a Mad Bomber utterly devoted to someone like Zim. Similarly, Ying is unfailingly polite, but dutifully serves as Nyx's enforcer.
- The Alternet: The Irkens are stated to have an internet equivalent called the Irk-Net. There's also the Dark Irk-Net, which unlike the main version isn't monitored by the Control Brains, and is used for criminal activity.
- Arch-Enemy: Due to their very differing views on the Empire, Nyx rapidly becomes this to Tenn.
- Ascended Fanboy: Nyx is a massive fan of Zim's, and now she's managed to start working for him.
- Badass Adorable: Nyx is pretty cute, with her dorky nature. She is also able to match Tenn in a fight and keep Team Save Earth on their toes.
- Battle Butler: Ying acts like (and has the personality of) a typical British butler, serving as such to Nyx. He also has a Battle Mode which turns him into an unstoppable seven-foot behemoth.
- Beneath Suspicion: The Tallest refuse to believe that Zim is Miz because they don't think he'd choose such an obvious alias, and because they don't think he's cool enough to pull off Miz's mystique. Also, they completely overlook several lower-ranked Irkens clearly being inspired by Miz's speeches.
- Beware the Silly Ones: It might be easy to write Nyx off due to her fangirl personality, but she proves fairly quickly that she's extremely dangerous.
- Big "WHAT?!": Zim's reaction when Nyx reveals that she's aware that he's Miz.
- Bomb-Throwing Anarchists: Nyx hates the established Irken system and wants to bring it down. Which she seeks to accomplish by means of blowing stuff up.
- Cassandra Truth: Tak easily sees through Zim's Miz disguise, but Tenn and the Tallest write it off as just her revenge obsession talking.
- Enemy Civil War: The rumblings of one have begun, as those Irkens inspired by Miz have started performing minor acts of rebellion against the Empire's establishment.
- Gatling Good: Nyx's weapon is a plasma-spewing minigun.
- I Call It "Vera": Nyx calls her gun "My Little Friend".
- I Know You Know I Know: Nyx employed this to determine Miz is Zim in disguise. It takes him a minute to decipher her explanation.
- The Jeeves: Ying has the personality of one, complete with an upper-class British accent.
- Mad Bomber: Nyx loves blowing stuff up.
- Man Bites Man: During their fight, Tenn gets Nyx in a chokehold, which Nyx breaks by biting her arm. Tenn is incredulous at this act, with Nyx smugly responding that anything goes in a fight.
- Mythology Gag: Mention is made of Floopsy Bloops Shmoopsy, the Show Within a Show from Issue 20 of the comic series.
- Never Recycle Your Schemes: Averted. The information Nyx brings to Zim as proof of her loyalty is apparently related to an old plan of his which he thinks he can upgrade and make succeed this time. What it actually is in unknown at the moment.
- Noodle Incident: Dib mentions several plots Tak and Tenn carried out in between seasons which we get no detailed information on — there was a hypnotic weenie incident, a flock of rabid seagulls, and a sentient mutant zucchini monster.
- Nothing Personal: When Ying attacks Team Save Earth, he makes it clear it's only because they're fighting Nyx.
- Pass the Popcorn: When Zim goes to confront Tak and Tenn, and also Team Save Earth when they show up, everyone is surprised when they realize Nyx tagged along and is watching from the sidelines, eating popcorn offered to her by Ying. She only stops when Zim orders her to make herself useful and join the fight.
- Psycho Supporter: Nyx is absolutely nuts, and completely dedicated to Zim.
- Servile Snarker: Ying is completely loyal to Nyx, but doesn't let that stop him from snarking at her as much as he does everyone else.
- She Is Not My Girlfriend: Dib says this when Gaz refers to Viera as such in the first chapter.
- Shout-Out:
- The chapter's title is an obvious parody of the famous lyrics from "Meet The New Boss".
- Nyx's ability to dislocate her shoulder at will is based on Riggs' skill from the Lethal Weapon movies.
- And calls her minigun "My Little Friend".
- Viera refers to Ying's Battle Mode as The Iron Giant.
- The way the Miz followers wear copies of his costume as disguises to carry out their acts of rebellion is similar to V for Vendetta.
- Spit Take: Immediately preceding the above She Is Not My Girlfriend moment, Dib is sipping some orange juice, and sprays it out when Gaz makes her comment.
- Tastes Like Purple: According to Nyx, for the first week after her PAK was electrocuted, everything "tasted yellow".
- Villainous BSoD: Zim is in a bit of a funk at the start of the season, due to being unable to come up with any new plans to conquer Earth.
- Villain Cred: Ironically, given who's under the mask, the Tallest admit that Miz is pretty cool and impressive despite all his treasonous talk.
- The Worf Effect: Team Save Earth are all competent and experienced fighters by this point. But when Ying goes after them in his Battle Mode, they can barely even scratch him.
- Wretched Hive: Slumia is an Irken planet which — due to being used as a place to dump the civilian population — is overpopulated and underfunded, leaving poor masses living amongst crumbling infrastructure.
- You Say Tomato: The Tallest apparently have a long-standing argument over the pronunciation of "caramel". Red thinks it's pronounced "car-a-mel", while Purple thinks it's "car-mel".
