* BadassMustache: Say what you will about Maverick, but the man has an impressive 'stache. Unlike the previous Red Hulk, he keeps his when he hulks out.



* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Maverick is pretty much Thunderbolt Ross right down to the [[BadassMoustache stache only matched by Sam Elliot.]] His main difference is that he takes Ross' GeneralRipper traits and ramps them UpToEleven.

* AwesomeButImpractical: The Golden Skull makes his last stand in [[BlingBlingBang golden]] PoweredArmor. The second the Skull brags that it's ''solid'' gold and not merely gold-plated, Toni immediately tears it apart like paper, since gold is an incredibly soft and malleable metal.
* AwesomeYetImpractical: The Red Hulk. As Squirrel Girl notes, if something is thrown at the Red Hulk and he's taken down easily, what does he do for the remaining 59 minutes? However, it's totally justified as he's considered a GodzillaThreshold for the team.

* HourOfPower: General Maverick's Red Hulk form was a device created by S.H.I.E.L.D that would give its user half-power Hulk abilities. AIM got a hold of it and modified so that, for an hour, it can grant full Hulk power for an hour, but it requires a full day to recharge.

** After ''Secret Empire'', the Plunderer returns to commit ludicrous super-crime once more, "assisted" by a returning Bluestreak.



** In issue 8, a badly out-of-it Roberto mutters "Juliana", after his former love interest all the way back from his first appearance. Later on, he mutters something to Professor X (about proving him wrong - Roberto proving he wasn't a future villain in the making was a theme of ''New Mutants'').
** During issue 9, Roberto tells Senator Krask he knows the way out of the White House, after having saved Obama from the Maker back in ''New Avengers''.
** The Kral Skrulls have a pair of Power Skrulls, left over from ''Secret Invasion''.



* CrossThrough: [[ComicBook/TheUltimates2015 Phil Voght]] appears in issue 8, telling Toni about the events over in ''Ultimates''. She has absolutely no idea what he's talking about.



* CulturalPosturing: Smasher gets very defensive when Maverick asks why the Shi'ar provided no help with the Chitauri swarm.



* GiantFootOfStomping: Toni Ho and a forcefield generator equals momentarily squished skrull.



* HistoryRepeats: Toni Ho winds up in a room with a dying man, and has to finagle a way to save him with whatever scraps are to hand.



* ImpossiblySharpSword: Guillotine's magic sword manages to cut through the flying Hydra fortress, which is noted to be made of ''adamantium''.



* {{Pun}}: Guillotine remarks that her ancestral sword hates Excalibur, because that's swords for you. They're edgy.



* SeriousBusiness: Richie Redwood is a Skrull who took over the Kral system, and forced everyone to conform to his view of the franchise, banishing anyone who steps out of line.



** Kyle the Hydra goon declares, as his buddy remote controls General Maverick, "[[Franchise/MortalKombat Fatality! Finish him!]]".



** After Toni crushes a skrull with a giant foot, she calls out "Monty Python's Flying Circus". Squirrel Girl declares ''Kids in the Hall'' better.



* SkewedPriorities: Riche Redwood's reaction to Cannonball getting fed up with "shenanigans"? Yelling at everyone else about how suspension of disbelief has been ruined.



** The final ''Secret Empire'' tie-in issue is called "Let's Pretend We Won A War".



* TemptingFate: Roberto claims that so long as he has his [[ImprovisedWeaponchunk of wall]], he can handle anything HYDRA throws at him. At which point the controlled General Maverick shows up, prompting Roberto to quip he jinxed it.
