* DeathByDeaging: In "What Was the Strange Power of Simon Drudd!!" the eponymous villain decides not to share his youth serum with the world once he's developed it, instead opting to use it on himself so that he can become an immortal and eventually go on to rule the world. For good measure, Drudd even locks his assistant Bentley in the freezer just so he won't be able to stop his bid for immortality. Unfortunately for Drudd, once the TransformationExhilaration stage is finished, it turns out that the serum is a lot stronger than anticipated - and can't be stopped. With Bentley still locked in the freezer, Drudd is left helplessly regressing to infancy, before quietly vanishing out of existence and leaving behind only empty clothes.

* TransformationExhilaration: In the finale of "What Was the Strange Power of Simon Drudd!!" the eponymous villain uses his prized youth serum on himself and begins to laugh triumphantly as it takes effect, continuing to do so over the course of the ensuing transformation sequence. Indeed, he's ''so'' overjoyed at being young again that he's still laughing even as he regresses into childhood. It's not until he's been reduced to a baby [[ShapeshiftingExcludesClothing struggling to crawl out of his gigantic lab coat]] that Drudd realizes that he's underestimated the strength of the serum and begins to wail in terror - before being abruptly silenced by a DeathByDeaging.

* BreakoutCharacter: Hank's first appearance in ''Tales to Astonish #27'' was a seven page story where as a scientist, he just tests his shrinking experiments on himself and runs afoul of some ants. "The Man in the Ant Hill" was intended as a one-off story, but positive response led to bringing him back almost a year later as a superhero.

* SissyVillain: Byrrah gains power in Atlantis partly by having spent time establishing himself as a man of peace in contrast to Namor's aggression, only wins a fight against him by cheating outrageously, and of course his baldness-and-huge-blonde-moustache combo doesn't make him look particularly straight (though that part might be unintentional).... Either way, he ends up inviting genuine manly-men villains Krang and Attuma to Atlantis as his allies, but once his plans fall apart [[EvenEvilHasStandards they leave in disgust, kicking themselves for teaming up with a wuss like Byrrah.]]
