* ButICantBePregnant: This is part of Mother of Champions' backstory. She was incredulous when she discovered she was pregnant, for a number of reasons -- one, because her husband had recently left her due to her inability to conceive, and two, because she was visibly pregnant the day after her drunken one-night stand. As it turns out, she'd developed a special, ahem, gift, giving birth to twenty-five boys days later.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: Celestial Archer is capable of freaking ridiculous feats with this. He can shoot out the sun and hit a target on the other side of the world. In his defense, his bow is a weapon of the gods and thus is inherently capable of doing that kind of thing.
