Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles vs. Street Fighter contains examples off:
- Adaptational Jerkass: At least at this point in the IDW comics, Shredder had mellowed out and become a good guy as well as mentor to the heroes. Here he's still evil and kind of a dick, even if A Lighter Shade of Black to M. Bison.
- Alternate Continuity: The comic is set after the Armageddon game storyline of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (IDW) comic but is non-canon due to a few discrepancies in continuity such as Shredder still being evil while he had undergone a Heel–Face Turn at this point in the comics.
- Bad Boss: M. Bison treats his newest lackey Baxter Stockman horribly and frequently yells at and even hits him.
- Big Bad: M. Bison is the mastermind behind the plot of the comic to kidnap fighters and siphon their power to use them to create Psycho Bombs to blackmail the world to his will.

- Even Evil Has Standards: Baxter Stockman turns on M. Bison when Bison reveals that he intends to destroy New York with his newly designed Psycho Bomb weapon, as destroying his home city is way too far even for an evil Mad Scientist like Stockman.
