Can we hurry this up? I've got a PTA meeting to get to.
The Crimson Claw is a family man - one trying to blend his work and family life together. Life's interesting for the Claw: defending his hover fortress, organizing major heists, and dealing with parent teacher meetings are all on the agenda!
Can be found on the comic's website HERE.
Contains examples of:
- Bad Boss: Claw and his Lieutenant Meat, especially Meat. Claw will electrocute his henchmen if they annoy him too much and Meat has been known to MURDER new recruits if they get on his nerves.
- Badass Normal: Meat. When a bunch of powered supervillains stole Claw's belt, he goes to get it back. When they insinuate he's useless because he doesn't have powers like his boss, he makes a necklace out of their teeth.
- Chekhov's Gun: In the very first panel, Kaley dyes her hair blue. Many pages later, it turns out she accidentally used her dad's mutagenic blue dye, which, due to being so close to her brain, gave her super-intelligence.
- Crossover: With Wonder Weenies Via guest strip
- Comic Book Death/Expendable Clone: Parodied in this strip.
- Clone Army: Discussed in this strip.
- Establishing Character Moment/Establishing Series Moment: The very first thing we see the Claw doing is ordering Trapmaster to see what he can do about childproofing his lair, which he has also ordered death traps for to keep out would-be heroes.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Crimson Claw. NOTHING matters to him more than family.
- Expy: Captain Ultimo looks and acts an awful lot like a certain Man of Steel.
- Friendly Enemy: Claw and Ultimo.
- Genre Savvy: One of Claw's greatest strengths.
- Leave no Survivors: Claw suggests this here as a way to deal with a potential henchman union headache.
- Papa Wolf: Don't ever kill, harm, threaten, or even mildly upset his family.
- Pragmatic Villain: Claw. He'll only do something that's beneficial to him and when it's most beneficial. An example is his trip to Egypt, he went there for a piece of armor with great power (his belt been another piece), but didn't go there for six months after finding its location just because his son had an essay on Ancient Egypt at that time.
- Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: The Action Faction features among others two Devil-people and Nazi Created Shapeshifter blob with a Devil form.
- Rhymes on a Dime: The Action Faction
- Take That!:
- Nothing Good has ever come from clone stuff.
- To all politicians;Hi-Tech: "He's literally an old man fighting against The Future. Sounds like government to me."
- Nothing Good has ever come
- Those Wacky Nazis: Goofather was created in a Nazi lab.
- Villain with Good Publicity: As seen in this page Claw is against being this because to spite being a Pragmatic Villain he still worries about his Villain Cred.
- Worthless Yellow Rocks: What happens when you infinitely replicate gold with a time-loop generator, it eventually becomes near worthless
- You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!:Germania: ...My grandfather was an SS Officer. I just want to help create a better Germany
Goofather: Um, I was created in a Nazi laboratory. Is that going to be awkward?
Actioneer: You were... Okay, seriously? You do realize that a Nazi blob that changes into a giant demon is like the least superheroic thing there is, right?
