* Strip 1231 reveals a terrifying weakness of Syndey's no one had considered: Possession by another being. In this case, the mercenary Lapha. '''Thankfully''' not as big an issue as it could have been, since Lapha cannot control the orbs, only Sydney's consciousness can, but it's still pretty bad. And all she had to do was wait for a chance to get close by impersonating a different Aeorlith that Parfait knew. This naturally leads to Sydney's body with the both of them inside getting locked up in a blacksite cell specifically made to detain Sydney. Which Sydney is more flattered than anything that they have, but still.

* Sydney tries to win a fight against some demons by using the green orb's ability to generate nitrogen, like she used to put out the fires in Galytn...not knowing Nitrogen Narcosis was a thing. Other than the one who is built to live underwater, she nearly kills all of Parfait's friends ''on accident'' while just trying to knock them out.

* Deus's [[https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-1040-benevolish theory about super-intelligence]] is nothing short of paranoia-inducing, as he lays out the simple fact that a god-like intelligence would certainly be smart enough to conceal its own existence from the world at large, and it would only make itself known by choice. His expansion on the topic isn't much more comforting: he theorizes that, just as physical super-abilities come with RequiredSecondaryPowers that prevent superpowered individuals from simply destroying their own bodies every time they use their abilities, super-intelligence must also come with super-wisdom or super-benevolence...but he acknowledges that what constitutes "benevolence" is subjective and relative, and [[BlueAndOrangeMorality possibly incomprehensible]] to those of non-super intelligence. Even creepier is the unspoken implication that he just might be talking about ''himself''.

* Maxima gets pretty scary towards the end of the press conference, especially towards the pink haired reporter who is really only doing her job. Particularly when said reporter asks why Maxima went full power for the demonstration, prompting Maxima [[FalseReassurance to laugh at the notion that she'd gone full power there]].
* Ariana's "what if" scenarios that feature what ''she'' thinks is going on after Max's show include a bandaged man speaking in Arabic saying (according to the translation) "Dead, am I?" Recall that Max once said the only super who could ever match her is dead and get the shivers...

-->''The cleansing is at hand...''
* The villain who is a KnifeNut with SuperSpeed is just creepy. Then he throws a knife into Heatwave's foot.
* And Maxima does '''not''' fight fairly, as highlighted twice during her fight against Vehemence. First, she coordinated with Peggy to [[EyeScream shoot out his left eye]], then took advantage of Halo's distraction to [[AnArmAndALeg blast off his arm]], threatening to do it to his head if he didn't surrender.
-->'''Sydney:''' [-[[http://grrlpowercomic.com/archives/1551 I'm unhappy I was part of that]]-].
* For a normally light-hearted comic, Sydney's discovery of [[spoiler: hanging bodies used for their blood]] [[http://grrlpowercomic.com/archives/2406 is pure Nightmare Fuel]].
* It turns out that Concretia [[spoiler: has been MadeASlave, and that's why she's a criminal. Then [[https://grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-904-a-fob-carrying-bad-guy/ her "manager" shows up]]]] to showcase just how horrible the situation is.
