Line 80:
* [[Succession Crisis]]: Happens in ''Auberon's Tale,'' which takes place long in the past. When the old king dies, the child Auberon is named his successor, but he's not the only one with a claim to the throne.
* [[Trash of the Titans]]: Molly's room, according to Yarrow.

=== '''Names Of Magic'' and ''Hunter -- The Age of Magic'' provides examples of: ===
Line 107:
* [[Action Girl]]: Molly proves to be one, though an even straighter example can be found in Jaqueline "Jackie" Constantine, a teenage [[Distaff Counterpart]] to John Constantine.
* [[Adam and Eve Plot]]: {{spoiler|With Cat and Dog in the final issue, when Tim takes them back to the pre-historic world, to give the world he just destroyed a new chance to start over.}}
{{quote| [[spoiler:'''Tim:''' Think of this as paradise, and you're Adam and Eve. Multiply and be fruitful.<br />
'''Cat:''' Did he say something?<br />
'''Tim:''' Oh, one last thing... Don't touch the apples on these trees.<br />
'''Cat:''' Why not?<br />
'''Dog:''' Is it some kind of sin?<br />
'''Tim:''' 'Course not.... they just taste of fish for some reason. Don't ask me why.]] }}
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: Or Alternate Universe Dye Job, anyway; in this series Tim has black hair instead of the dark brown he ended up with in the regular continuity, Molly is a redhead and Zatanna is blonde. Constantine is the only one who looks more or less exactly like his regular-continuity counterpart.
Line 128:
* [[Straight Gay]]: Jackie Constantine. Which makes some amount of sense, as she's the [[Distaff Counterpart]] of John Constantine, whom we know is [[Bi the Way]]. Jackie never shows any attraction to men, though, and identifies as gay.
* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: Lampshaded by Edmund ("Ed") of Hebron and Molly.
{{quote| '''Ed:''' Don't think I won't kill you just because you're girls.<br />
'''Molly:''' Great -- we get the only non-sexist demon in this shithole. }}
