The comic was involved in a lawsuit by Marvel UK against Creator/DefiantComics, a budding comic book company founded by Creator/JimShooter. The lawsuit concerned one of Defiant's upcoming titles, ''Plasm'' (retitled ''Warriors of Plasm'' when it started publishing), which had a similar enough title that Marvel argued that it and ''Plasmer'' would be confused with each other. Defiant won the lawsuit, with the judge even calling out Marvel for their actions, but the legal fees became so high they had to shut down.

* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Dr Oonagh Mullarkey is a shining example, even before she loses the ‘good’ side of her personality to Plasmer.Plasmer, being [[EvilInc Mys-Tech]]’s most prominent scientist and responsible for creating or enhancing many of their superhumans and monstrous minions. She eventually gets tired of working behind the scenes, attempts to give herself superpowers and makes herself an even worse human being by exporting her conscience and the ‘good’ parts of her personality into ''ComicBook/{{Plasmer}}''.

* RememberTheNewGuy: Captain Kerosene and Jack Smithers both count. Smithers has apparently known Captain America since the Second World War, but has never been mentioned before. In Captain Kerosene’s case it’s partially justified - the nature of his powers meant that he was mostly secretly doubling for the Human Torch to misdirect the Axis powers, not carrying out missions in his own right.

* ServileSnarker: The Doorman is apparently an artificial intelligence with a holographic projection, left to guard the technology used for British doomsday weapons from previous wars. After the villains take control, he gets increasingly snarky in his “how can I help” speeches, although they don’t really listen. [[{{Foreshadowing}} They should have listened]].
