In 2023, a stand-alone spinoff was announced, simply titled ''Nemesis''; set in an alternate universe where the FCP wasn't able to stop Nemesis from destroying Boston.

** Nemesis will be a playable character and main antagonist in the upcoming game ''VideoGame/ColossalKaijuCombat Fall of Nemesis''.

* CloningBlues:
** In ''Project Hyperion'' [[spoiler:the Ferox reveal that they created clones of Karkinos, Typhon, Scylla, Drakon, and Scrion to fight Lovecraft and Giger. Giger shreds all of them except Karkinos, who it delivers to Nemesis Prime's Voice]].
** ''Project Legion'' has more clones of Karkinos, Typhon, Scylla, Drakon, and Scrion made to fight alongside Nemesis and repel the Aeros' invasion. It also reveals that the Aeros have [[spoiler:an army of Gigers, Lovecrafts, and at least one clone of Nemesis Prime, as well as a Ashtaroth, a truely enormous monster that combines traits of all three of them]].

* FiveManBand: In the second book:
** Gordon is BigBad
** Karkinos is TheDragon
** Typhon is EvilGenius
** Scylla is TheBrute
** Drakon is TheDarkChick
** Scrion is TagalongKid

* UndressingtheUnconscious: [[spoiler: In ''Project Hyperion'', Maigo was caught in an explosion when she was infiltrating Big Diomede to retrieve the hidden weapon there. She woke up in her undergarments and strapped down to a stretcher, with her DNA sample had been taken. ]]

** Likewise, Lovecraft's wings are used to shield himself from attacks, as he is far too massive to fly. [[spoiler:It turns out he can void a tremendous amount of organic matter, instantly shrinking down to become flight-capable. He does this twice to flee Nemesis by air.]].

* InTheBlood: ''Project Hyperion'' reveals the all of the traits mankind considers "evil" are due to [[spoiler:interbreeding with the warlike Atlantide in the distant past, with greater concentrations of Atlantide DNA resulting in a greater proclivity towards "violence, crime, and foulness."]]

* TheAwfulTruth: In ''Project Hyperion'' there's a few nasty revelations. [[spoiler:Not only was the FCP actually a creation of the Ferox and not something created out of dumb luck, but they were also influencing Zoomb, GOD, and even Endo. Alessi was a real person once but the one seen in the books was in fact a decoy interacting with Endo and Hudson. All was to help prepare for the Aeros war.]]

* TookALevelInBadass: In ''Island 731'' Joliet is closer to being TheLoad and a FauxActionGirl -- after a promising start, diving into a trash pile to get a specimen in shark-infested waters, she ends up being more of a DamselInDistress and can't even shoot. By ''Project 731'', she seems to have been taking target practice, and helps save Mark and Lilly after being shoved aside into the attic for safe keeping during an assault.

* TwoLinesNoWaiting: ''Project Hyperion'' has two plots up until the finale. Hudson, Collins and Woodstock deal with Lovecraft while on the other side of the world Maigon and Lilly investigate something in Russia until Maigo joins Hudson and Hawkins joins Lilly. The latter two go follow Giger and Zach Cole.

* WingsDoNothing: Subverted. Nemesis's wings aren't meant for her to fly, they are used as giant mirrors that weaponize the sunlight to fry her enemies.
** Likewise, Lovecraft's wings are used to shield himself from attacks, as he is far too massive to fly. [[spoiler:Turns out he can void a tremendous amount of organic matter, instantly shrinking down to become flight-capable. He does this twice to flee Nemesis by air.]].

* FiveBadBand: In the second book:
