* CollateralDamage: In the first issue, Fury's battle with Scorpio and gangster Mitch Hackett's duel with his would-be assassin both spill into the same Las Vegas street at the same time. Fury's winning against a Scorpio... until a stray bullet from the other battle hits him.

* BriefcaseFullOfMoney: In issue #1, gangster Mitch Hackett is visiting Las Vegas to collect a suitcase full of money - two hundred thousand dollars. Subverted in that it ''isn't'' full of money, it's a TimeBomb. And it never reaches Hackett anyway, as it's mistakenly given to stand-up comedian Flip Mason instead.

* CriminalDoppelganger: Apart from his glasses, Las Vegas comedian Flip Mason looks identical to Kansas City gangster Mitch Hackett. Although Flip owes money to Hackett's goons, everyone seems unaware of the similarity until Hackett comes to Las Vegas to collect a BriefcaseFullOfMoney, which is mistakenly given to Mason. Unfortunately, it's ''not'' full of money, it's a bomb.
