* We get to see the effects of a nuke on a [[spoiler:Battleship-class Uber such as Siegmund]]. Remember what happened to [[FateWorseThanDeath Patrick O'Connor]]? This is ''ten times worse'', since his body is ''melted into the ground in a pile of flesh that could be swiped with a mop''. And yes, [[AndIMustScream he is still conscious while this happens]]. And unlike O'Connor, its impossible to [[MercyKill euthanize him]] in this state.

** Battleships are shown to be able to heal themselves from horrific injuries, if given enough time and support. Problem: He’s so radioactive nobody can get close enough to feed him or give him water, even if anyone wanted to. So: melted, blasted, radioactive, still alive, and very slowly dying of thirst and starvation. He’ll probably be entombed to avoid contaminating everything around him, so add slow suffocation to the list.

* What happened to Patrick, the first Allied Battleship. He managed to get Sieglinde into a choke hold and was ''this'' close to killing her. Yet she managed to escape by first ripping off both of Patrick's arms and then horribly mutate his entire upper body into a grotesque monstrosity of bones and flesh that looked akin to a body mid-explosion. The worst part? ''Patrick is still alive during this''.

* Even though [[AssholeVictim he most definitely had it coming]], [[spoiler:Siegfried's death counts because of the sheer force used to kill him: he is repeatedly slashed by time-stopping Ubers through [[SlashedThroat the neck causing massive blood loss]] and [[EyeScream through his right eye]], causing his halo [[BodyHorror to explode half his face]]. And even that '''''isn't enough to kill him''''' and he manages to kill several Ubers while horribly mangled. It takes the last remaining Uber to push his powers to their limit so he can finish off Siegfried once and for all]].

* Finding out that Siegfried [[spoiler:is only ''fourteen years old'' at the time of his death.]] The Nazis took him--and admittedly, he was seriously messed up to begin with--and mutated him into a battleship-class Uber that could gleefully commit the acts he did, warping his mind even further than it was and denying him [[spoiler:his childhood, wretched though it might have been.]]
* Issue #16 finally shows what happens when [[spoiler:a Battleship {{turned against their masters}}. After apparently dying in a UnfriendlyFire incident, Katyusha mercilessly levels Moscow to the ground before Stalin's eyes. The carnage was so horrifying that [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness he began to cry]]. She initially spares him with the intent of personally executing him in the most karmic manner - turning him into a statue made of Woden's Blood. Finally, she installs herself in power over Russia and ''effectively destroys the Soviet Union'']].

** Several survivors relate how, one badly burned scientist reminisces how he saw several people on fire in the darkest of night. Two soldiers tell how they barely survived an direct encounter with the Ubers, only for a RevealShot to show that one of them was [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe cut in half]].
** A little girl recounts how she barely survived her house's burning and trying to save another girl while her arms are dissolving, just before dying of epilepsy in front of the camera.

* Leah Cohen has a nightmare where she's still a young girl, running across a field of Jewish skulls, being pursued by a [[GasMaskMooks gas mask-wearing]] Siegmund and Sieglinde, before she runs into a dead soldier she befriended with a half-melted face, asking her why she didn't save him.
