!!"Who's Your Granny?" contains the following tropes:
* BeYourself: Granny May tries to start robbing people with complicated gadgets after being ignored by a villain magazine, and while she's highly successful, she doesn't get any enjoyment out of it.

* SupervillainLair: After her successful crime spree, Granny May gets a mountain lair on a tropical island.
