* [[ChekhovsGun Chekhov's]] [[spoiler:[[ChekhovsGun Plunger]]]]: [[http://axecop.com/index.php/acepisodes/read/episode_37/ As]] [[http://axecop.com/index.php/acepisodes/read/episode_63/ seen]] [[http://axecop.com/index.php/acepisodes/read/episode_64/ here]].
** [[spoiler:Mr. Cup's blade in ''Bad Guy Earth''.]]

** However, in ''Bad Guy Earth'', [[spoiler:he becomes President of the World, apparently giving him authority over all other presidents.]]

* HeroicSociopath: Axe Cop and his friends are completely insane, but they're definitely the good guys.

* BusmansHoliday: Axe Cop spends his holidays sleeping, eating cake, and watching hundreds of recordings of him fighting bad guys to improve his fighting style yet further. Watching hundreds of recordings ''all at once'', that is. The current arc has Axe Cop deciding that the whole month of March is his birthday, so he will be eating cake for the whole month.

* DieHardOnAnX: In the book, Ethan describes the Baby Man subplot in the Ultimate Battle arc as "''Die Hard'' in a baby suit".

* EverythingsWorseWithBears: Inverted in [[http://axecop.com/index.php/acask/read/ask_axe_cop_36/ Ask Axe Cop #36]], but played straight in ''[[http://axecop.com/index.php/acepisodes/read/mal1/ The Moon Warriors Go Camping]]'' and [[spoiler:meet their demise by The God of All Bears]].

* CrazyPrepared:Axe Cop seems to NEED this level of preparation to survive. He winds up with 1,050 poisoned candies on Halloween due to tampering from villains, and bad guys manage to sneak into his house to try and kill him during the two minutes he sleeps each night.

* CrazyPrepared

** Axe Cop seems to NEED this level of preparation to survive. He winds up with 1,050 poisoned candies on Halloween due to tampering from villains, and bad guys manage to sneak into his house to try and kill him during the two minutes he sleeps each night.

* CrazyPrepared: Axe Cop knows the moment he takes office, the bad guys will flee to their Bad Guy Planet to avoid getting blown up. That's why [[spoiler:he's already replaced the planet's core with bombs]].

** This is justified, because Axe Cop seems to NEED this level of preparation to survive. He winds up with 1,050 poisoned candies on Halloween due to tampering from villains, and bad guys manage to sneak into his house to try and kill him during the two minutes he sleeps each night.

** "Jack and John Zombie Vampire Killers" ends with [[spoiler: Jack pushing the growth button on his wrist several times (as opposed to just once to return to normal size) and becoming a giant that destroys the world.]]

* HomoeroticSubtext: In one episode of ''Ask Axe Cop'', Axe Cop gets asked if he'd ever had a kid. He answered that, since he's his best friend, he'd turn Sockarang into a chick and have kids with him/her. This is either [[CrowningMomentOfFunny absolutely hilarious]] or [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel the stuff nightmares are made of]]. He does the same to AbrahamLincoln.

* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Eggy Eggy turned from an unassuming [[USAcres Sheldon]] {{expy}} to a city-sized egg monster in the course of two episodes.

* EleventyZillion: The number ''a jillion'' comes up quite often. All we know is that it is over 4000. There's also "tyranotillion", the so-called highest number in the universe, and "quadzillion", [[UpToEleven which is even higher]].

--> '''Dr. McNinja''': Just... just protect the book, okay?

* TonightSomeoneDies: Young Malachai was encouraged to include a death on the good guys' side early on in the comic. The result? One of the heroes wishes for more help, and gets a guy named [[EnsembleDarkhorse Mr. Stocker]], "a hero with no powers" who immediately gets attacked by a tiny robot and turned into one himself, thus removing him from the comic permanently as soon as he appeared.
** Well, [[http://axecop.com/index.php/acask/read/ask_axe_cop_30/ almost permanently]].

Axe Cop made its internet debut in January of 2010. Originally created just for a select group of family and friends, the Axe Cop comics comprised then 5-year-old Malachai's raw ideas, formatted and illustrated by 29-year-old Ethan. The first four episodes chronicled the adventures of the eponymous hero, starting from the moment he discovered the perfect fireman axe and following him as he quickly grew into a larger than life legend. The strips proved insanely popular, and it was not long until tales of a webcomic written by a 6-year-old and illustrated by a 29-year-old began to spill over on to the internet at large. So popular, in fact, that weeks after its debut, he began taking [[FourthWallMailSlot viewer questions for the side series "Ask Axe Cop"]] which introduced so many more insane concepts and characters that it has become as popular as the main comic, if not more so. Now, Axe Cop is to be published by DarkHorseComics, with a collection of most of the web material. A three-part miniseries in color, named ''Bad Guy Earth'', was released in March 2011 and features Axe Cop and Dinosaur Soldier fighting the regular police and the army, who are fed up with Axe Cop's extreme methods. And a crossover with (who else?) [[Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja Dr. McNinja]] titled "Stolen Pizza, Stolen Lives" ended in August 2010. An Axe Cop-themed ''TabletopGame/{{Munchkin}}'' set was released in late 2011.

* AnAxeToGrind: Guess who? Dinosaur Soldier/Flute Cop/Avacado Soldier/Viking Cop also gets into the grove on occasion.

* CosmicHorror: The [[http://axecop.com/index.php/acepisodes/read/episode_71/ Night Monsters]] in the Halloween Special. They're your basic Lovecraftian horrors lying on the void of space. When a Night Monster catches a baby, it turns it into a Baby Night Monster which then digs into a planet's core to grow into a Full Night Monster. They can also sneak up on people and scare them.

Guaranteed to be [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative the best comic written by a six-year-old that you'll ever read]].

* BeyondTheImpossible: The only limits are the limits of Malachai's imagination, and we're not certain if they are actually limits.

Since then, Axe Cop has become a veritable phenomenon. In just a matter of months, Axe Cop had accomplished more than this page could possibly recount and a number of the comic's fans-sorry, the comic's number of fans has exploded.

** Also, Flute Cop, Telescope Cop, Dinosaur Soldier, Fire Slicer, Vampire Wolfer, Ghost Cop, The Best Fairy Ever, Axe Cop With Lemon, Avocado Soldier, etc.

* HornyVikings: One episode has Axe Cop and Dinosaur Soldier prank a bunch of vikings by chopping their heads off. Naturally, Dinosaur Soldier gets some of their blood on him and becomes Viking Cop.
