*** Rama's are ''ComicBook/GreenArrow'', ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}} and ComicBook/{{Storm}}.

** Hollywood trolling Fortune on her "Thick as Thieves" sidequest comes back to bite him during the "Operation: Franchise Force" mission. Since they're Live-streaming a raid on a L.E.G.I.O.N. base to get something that could hurt Hollywood personally [[spoiler: Fortune finds out it's a adult film from Hollywood's early days doing whatever role he can get. She then puts the movie on the Live-stream--which was what Hollywood hoped would NOT happen; his early mission dealt with a fan threatening to do the same thing, only for her instead to sell it to L.E.G.I.O.N. for use as a PR weapon against Hollywood]].
** Combined with TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler: Ariadne is able to remove a mind-control implant from her head Dr. Babylon put in there, and insert it into the control system of the Damocles robot. When he has to pilot Damocles, she drives HIM insane, and he feels the rush of power from a giant Dark Matter crystal, fueling his ambition enough to be TheStarscream, and try to rewrite reality with himself as the center. MAYHEM is able to foil this, and Morningstar sends Marcus Longinus to punish Dr. Babylon for his failure.]]

*** Kingpin's is [[Film/BackToTheFuture Marty McFly]].

*** Yeti's are Panthro from ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats'', ''The ComicBook/IncredibleHulk'', and [[ComicBook/XMen Colossus]].

''Agents of Mayhem'' is a single-player open world action game by Creator/{{Volition}}, and an indirect sequel / reboot to the ''VideoGame/SaintsRow'' series. It was released on August 15, 2017 on PC, Xbox One, and [=PlayStation=] 4.

!This game contains examples of:

* TheDreaded: NOBODY in M.A.Y.H.E.M. wants to be on the bad side of "Carol from HR." Or worse, Persephone herself if something goes wrong (like when Mixer's attempted hacking into AISHA went sideways, though "Purple AISHA" did leave once "Red AISHA" could not get over losing Steeltoe).

* EnemyChatter: LEGION soldiers have several taunts they use during combat. Their dialogue and insults even change to reflect the agent they're currently fighting.
* EqualOpportunityEvil: Like its counterpart, LEGION also recruits from around the world. Dr. Babylon is Turkish, Hammersmith is Swedish, Steeltoe is from Barbados and [[spoiler:AISHA is a Korean AI]].

** Hollywood trolling Fortune on her "Thick as Thieves" sidequest comes back to bite him during the "Operation: Franchise Force" mission. Since they're Live-streaming a raid on a LEGION base to get something that could hurt Hollywood personally [[spoiler: Fortune finds out it's a adult film from Hollywood's early days doing whatever role he can get. She then puts the movie on the Live-stream--which was what Hollywood hoped would NOT happen; his early mission dealt with a fan threatening to do the same thing, only for her instead to sell it to LEGION for use as a PR weapon against Hollywood]].

* MonumentalDamage: This seems to be L.E.G.I.O.N.s favorite pastime. Just watch the cinematic for Devil's Night to see how much chaos and destruction they can get up to in a single day.
** Hammersmith decides to blow up a 1200-year old temple to kill M.A.Y.H.E.M. personnel inside. For the rest of the game, various lieutenants pin the blame on M.A.Y.H.E.M.

* NGOSuperpower: LEGION is effectively this, especially in the wake of Devil's Night. After the collapse of the world's governments, many people have [[IFightForTheStrongestSide secretly aligned themselves with the strongest world power remaining - LEGION]]. In addition to its massive armies, cutting-edge weapons and unique technology, LEGION controls a number of [[CovertGroupWithMundaneFront front companies]] and is allied with [[ArmsDealer armament manufacturers]] and [[TheSyndicate crime syndicates]], including the {{Yakuza}}. [[CorruptPolitician Corrupt government officials]] and other traitors have also secretly aided LEGION.

** Oni killed his former Yakuza clan because he learned that they allied themselves with LEGION's Ministry of Greed.
** Yeti and the New Revolutionary Council were betrayed by [[TheRival a rival Cold Warrior]] who believed that allegiance to LEGION was the best solution to restore Russia to greatness.
** After Devil's Night, defense contracts mostly went to armament manufacturing companies aligned with LEGION. Claymore's own business went bankrupt as a result, forcing him to accept an exclusive partnership with Persephone and MAYHEM.
** Quartermile's rival Bianchi supplies LEGION with high-speed vehicles, much like how Quartermile himself does for MAYHEM.

* PromotedToPlayable: Pierce Washington, known by his codename "Kingpin" in this universe, is now a playable character. Oleg Kirrlov is also playable, under the codename "Yeti." Johnny Gat and Kinzie Kensington ("Safeword") are also playable once again via DLC.

* SevenDeadlySins: LEGION has its operations delegated to Ministries that each have a name of a Sin. We've only seen Pride (Dr. Babylon, whose Ministry is the main body against M.A.Y.H.E.M. in the game), Wrath (Marcus Longinus), Envy (Persephone's ex-husband after Paris was destroyed on Morningstar's orders) and Gluttony (Persephone before the destruction of Paris and the formation of M.A.Y.H.E.M.) have known or mentioned ministers. The Ministry of Greed corrupted Oni's yakuza group, so he was forced to GottaKillEmAll. We don't know if there were Ministries of Sloth or Lust.

** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gx4LrxZ6vro Ride For Mayhem trailer]] is one big shout-out to ''Series/KnightRider'', right down to a remixed version of the theme, and the fact that it reveals that your car is fitted with a wise-cracking AI program.

* WhoWritesThisCrap: One of the random things that the LEGION PA will say while you're in a LEGION Lair is "The planetarium in Seoul is having a special presentation on the size of Uranus... I realize what I just said. Who's writing these announcements?"

* BigBad: Morningstar, the leader of L.E.G.I.O.N.

* BodyHorror: Lazarus, a DLC character, she used to be a normal human, but after an explosion killed her, she was injected with Nanites, that brought her back, in a way, she still looks human, but her body has silvery plates running across her body, that open liked Gills to release her nanite swarms, she attacks by reaching into her back and pulling swarms out to throw at enemies.

* AssholeVictim: M.A.Y.H.E.M. repeatedly performs multiple war crimes on the mooks, including excessive force, bio-warfare, kill-sats, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and lame hypno-dancing]]. Seeing as they willingly chose to follow a terrorist dictatorship that gleefully slaughtered civilians in the millions, nuked entire cities, [[CrushThePopulace and continue to terrorize the world months after they successfully took over]], this isn't exactly DisproportionateRetribution.

*** Joule's is the Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse version of ComicBook/HarleyQuinn, [[Franchise/SuperMarioBrothers Mario]], and ''Barbie''.

*** Safeword's are ComicBook/{{Rogue}}, ComicBook/{{Robin}}, [[TheMatrix Trinity]], and WesternAnimation/KimPossible.

* HeelFaceTurn: Persephone Brimstone used to be a L.E.G.I.O.N. lieutenant. [[spoiler: More specifically, the "Minister of Gluttony," so looking at Kingpin's intro might have you ask just how much potential did he have if he united the gangs of Stilwater to deliver the CurbStompBattle to the forces she sent there on Devil's Night.]]

''Agents of Mayhem'' is a single-player open world action game by Creator/{{Volition}}, and an indirect sequel to the ''VideoGame/SaintsRow'' series. It was released on August 15, 2017 on PC, Xbox One, and [=PlayStation=] 4.

In a distant [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture future]], the evil organization L.E.G.I.O.N.[[note]]The League of Evil Gentlemen Intent on Obliterating Nations[[/note]] has launched a brutal multinational assault. The only ones who can stop them are the twelve Agents of M.A.Y.H.E.M.[[note]]The Multinational [=AgencY=] for Hunting Evil Masterminds[[/note]] and their leader, Persephone Brimstone. The player controls three agents to save the world. The game takes place in a futuristic version of UsefulNotes/{{Seoul}}, [[UsefulNotes/{{SouthKorea}} South Korea]].

* AbsurdlyLowLevelCap: Upgrading Mayhem's Agency level to 20 will probably happen around the point you've completed 25-30% of the game. Unless you're actively trying to reach level 20 with all your agents, your favorite team will probably hit level 20 about the same time, at which point you'll probably have enough Upgrade Cores to advance all three of them to level 40 right away.
