* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: The Dragon King is killed by Cindy and her team but the majority of their horde is buried under a ton of rock and will probably be claimed by the Chinese government. A lot of supervillains and innocents were also killed by the Foundation bombing the island for better or worse. The team did recover a few notable items, though, and Cindy understands that her family has her back even if other supervillains don't realize she's awesome. She's also TookALevelInBadass.]]

* TheCasino: The Dragon King's casino is located on its own private island with a massive statue of its owner wrapped around it. They are a literal dragon so its quite impressive. It is also where his [[spoiler: actually her]] enormous horde is located.

* CowardlyLion: Damselfly would clearly rather not be engaging in violence, and is a mainly brought onboard the team because her knowledge of shrinking science is the only way it'd be possible to actually steal Dragon King's entire horde, yet whenever a fight breaks out she pitches in, despite her shrinking powers being extremely well suited to finding someplace to hide and hoping not to be noticed.

* AtrociousAlias: In this book we discover that Nikki Tesla's supervillain name is [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Doctor Scientist]] though interestingly despite who he's a stand in for [[Franchise/SpiderMan Red Splotch]] never teases her over it. Probably because [[DatingCatwoman it's pretty clear that he's got romantic feelings for her.]]

* DenserAndWackier: As weird and silly as the series normally is, Cindy is ''much-much'' crazier and the goal is TheCaper rather than the cosmic shenanigans or fights against Nazis that Gary is usually up to.

* NoSell: Disguise spells don't work on Leia Karkofsky AKA Gizmo the Girl Genius because she's a telepath. She is notably annoyed by the fact that even pointing out this fact does not break the magic's effect.


Added DiffLines:

* TrappedInVillainy: Damselfly is basically forced into working for supervillains due to the fact that there are few opportunities for legitimate work as a scientist after being forced to work for Tom Terror and now being labeled a Nazi supervillain (she's not). Nikki Tesla more or less uses her and discards her before Cindy dragoons her into participating in the heist.

* CloudCuckoolander: Cindy often goes off on tangents in the middle of conversations that have nothing to do with whatever is being discussed as well as makes wild deviations from her previously carefully agreed upon plans.
* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: As the first book not starring Gary Karkofsky AKA Merciless: The Supervillain without [=MercyTM=], we see how she differs. Cindy is ''much'' more driven by whimsy, ruthless, and uncaring about collateral damage. Also, where Gary is a PapaWolf, Cindy is an ambivalent parent at best.



* DistinctionWithoutADifference: Gary and Cindy's aren't married, they just live in the same house together, frequently have sex, have a child together, and have shared finances.

* SamusIsAGirl: [[spoiler: It turns out that the evil dragon Cindy and the others have been planning to steal from is actually female despite their title [[SheIsTheKing of "Dragon King"]] and their name being a rather blatant reference to a [[Literature/TheHobbit a famous male dragon]]]]

* OurPresidentsAreDifferent: After spending the entire series dealing with various Presidents who were corrupt at best, and supervillains at worst, in this novel [[SupermanSubstitute Ultra God]] is the president. We don't see too much of his exact policies, but to his credit we don't see any references to [[Literature/TheFutureOfSupervillainy Department of Supernatural Security]] or [[Literature/TheHorrorOfSupervillainy Variant Intelligence Collective Enforcement]] so presumably progress is being made.
