- Fridge Brilliance: Holden Carver is a superhuman "pain battery". He can absorb any injury without feeling it or sustaining lasting damage, and transmit the sensation (but not the physical injury) to others through contact. At first, it just seemed like a cool power, but later (during the Cairo bar fight scene to be precise) you realize that soaking up a lot of pain and beatings and then passing it on to others is the quintessential ability of a Film Noir character. Along with drinking and hardboiled narration.
- Harsher in Hindsight: One Team 7 miniseries had an antagonist tell Cole "Grifter" Cash that "as a spy [he makes] an excellent soldier." Come Point Blank it turns out to be exactly the case with Grifter's attempts at investigation doing nothing but helping TAO's goals. Might also be Hilarious in Hindsight, depending on how dark one's sense of humor is.
