- In another issue, after Superboy has lost his powers, Impulse tries to come up with creative ways to give him new powers, each having their own Mythology Gag.

- Impulse accidentally picking up Doiby's accent. And not even realizing that A) he's even doing it and B) that Doiby has an accent.
- Superboy believes he doesn't need to buckle up thanks to his tactile telekinesis... and then he gets sent bouncing all over the ship not even two panels later, much to Lobo's enjoyment.

(a baseball and bat drop on the ground)
Superboy: You're kidding.
Wonder Girl: Okay, that's it. I'm joining the Titans.note - While Slobo might be The Scrappy to many, his introduction is hilarious.

Bart then proceeds to get into a series of humorous Unwanted Rescues (e.g., he sees a Mustache Twirling Villain tying a Damsel in Distress to Railroad Tracks of Doom and overpowers the guy, only to realize that it's a silent film tribute festival). Then, he finds a real hostage situation...at the cheerleading competition. Bart defeats the bad guys, and the cheerleaders and actresses all swoon over him as a jealous Conner watches on TV.
- After it's revealed that the Super-Cycles were actually in some sort of mating ritual, Empress asks the team if they have any normal adventures involving some monstrous incarnation of evil or something. Cue Secret showing up to introduce the team to her new friend, Mr. Doug Side. Cue Oh, Crap! from everyone.
