* CheatersNeverProsper: A recurring theme is that Team Pendant always tries to cheat with the Extreme Monsters winning by never stooping to their level. It most notably comes up in ''Meet Mr. Hydeous'', where Doc's nephew Gerald drinks his uncle's botched diet formula to transform into Mr. Hydeous. When it's revealed that Gerald was Mr. Hydeous and that the mandatory Neutralizer Wristbands that were to dampen monster powers to enable fair play against human athletes had no effect on him, he is promptly disqualified and banned from ever competing in sports again.
