- Meteor (Team Leader)

Stories Include:
- #0.1 Escape Velocity
- #0.15 Christmas Caper
- #0.2 Hashtag Hell
- #0.3 Copycat Calamity

Unit-M provides examples of:
- Action Girl: Shield's an ex-military
hard-ass that can project force fields and carries a gun in her purse
. Enough said.
- All Men Are Perverts: When Shield posts a photo
of herself in a low cut workout top online, she's quickly deluged
with vile, sexually explicit messages.
- Big Breast Pride: Shield proudly flaunts her curves with revealing
outfits
. However, in an issue
where she's harassed about her chest size, she responds by covering up more and more as the abuse intensifies.
- Boobs of Steel: Shield can do 125 sit ups in two minutes. Quite an accomplishment
considering she's carrying around two bowling balls on her chest.
- Buxom Is Better: Subverted in an issue
where Shield's curvaceous figure is the focal point of vicious online harassment.
- Cyborg: Meteor is part-Monster, part-machine
. He can also activate
battle armor.
- Distracted by the Sexy: Shield's physique and form fitting outfits regularly
command
the attention of other characters. Not so much her teammates though.
- Fantastic Racism: People hate and fear Monsters
. This persecution is very reminiscent of that experienced by another M-word group in a different comic.
- Flying Firepower: Meteor
can fly and project concussion beams from his hands and visor.
- Form Fitting Clothing: Basically, Shield's breasts cause this to happen in
any
outfit
. Her preferred catsuit
sports some pretty extreme boob socks.
- Giant Woman: In Issue 0.3
, Unit-M faces off against a pair of twin sisters who have created a duplicate of themselves thats the size of a mountain.
- Hidden Buxom: Shield starts covering up after getting harassed online because of her chest size. Though the size of her breasts makes them impossible to completely hide
.
- Latex Space Suit: Shield's catsuit
leaves very little to the imagination.
- Male Gaze: Issue #0.1
is very guilty of this. Subverted in Issue #0.2
when the gaze is dropped as Shield's harassed over her appearance.
- Most Common Superpower: Shield sports breasts
that are larger than her head. When she tries to post
a selfie on social media, she's almost immediately harassed
regarding their size.
- Orange/Blue Contrast: Agent Orange
is a waking embodiment of this trope, sporting orange body hair and blue skin.
- Razor Wings: Hawk sports
razor sharp metal wings that channel bio energy.
- Self-Duplication: The antagonists in Issue 0.3
are twin sisters called The Copycats. Their Monster powers enable them to create an unlimited number of duplicates of varying sizes.
