''FreakAngels'' is a [[Web Comic]] written by [[Warren Ellis]], author of ''[[Nextwave]]''/''[[Transmetropolitan]]'', transhumanist and noted [[Crazy Awesome]] British person, with art by Paul Duffield.

* [[Appropriated Appellation]]: The FreakAngels used to be called, among other things, "mutant freaks" and "angels of destruction."

* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: When Kait shows the FreakAngels her potential new jail:

'''Arkady''': ''It smells of poo!'' }}

* [[Ascended Fanboy|Ascended Fangirl]]: Kait, who grew up on cop shows and has appointed herself the chief of police for Whitechapel.

** Also, insulting Arkady's best friend when he's {{spoiler|1=[http://www.freakangels.com/?p=449&page=4 lying on the floor with a bullet in his head?] And then ignoring the resulting [[Death Glare]] and [[Too Dumb to Live|insulting him "again"?]]}} Given that Arkady is a [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity|mentally unstable]] [[Cloudcuckoolander]] who has repeatedly demonstrated what she's [[Mind Rape|capable]] [[Your Head Asplode|of]] in the past (see [[Beware the Nice Ones]] below), Jack was lucky just to get off with a short, sharp [[Reason You Suck Speech]].

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]:

* [[Big Damn Kiss]]: {{spoiler|Conner and Arkady.}} SQUEEEEEEEEEEE!

* [[Bishounen]]/[[Bifauxnen]]: Most of the FreakAngels are fairly attractive, and it can be somewhat hard to tell their exact gender for some of them. Arkady and Karl are even hard to tell apart in a couple of panels, despite being opposite genders, due to their shaved heads(and Arkady's general flat-chestedness).

* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]] / [[Ho Yay]]: Kirk and Karl seem to only be able to stand each other, {{spoiler|tried to murder Mark}} and kept the secret to themselves, and despite their many interactions have the rare accomplishment of never fighting with one another. Though they don't get much focus, it's implied rather heavily they share a strong bond.

** As of episode 139, it's heavily implied that they're either an item or are at least considering it.

* [[Humans Are White]]: A side effect of the "package" is pale skin and purple eyes, which even Carolyn (black), Miki (Asian), and KK (possibly part Islander) have.

* [[Ineffectual Loner]]: Jack is constantly called out on this. His tendency to go off on his own is seen as him shirking his emotional responsibilities.

* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]: Any single FreakAngel can completely dominate a person's mind or tearing them apart telekinetically, and can shield himself against small arms fire. Two or three working in concert can demolish buildings, blast apart small armies, and cause large explosions, as well as protecting themselves from heavy machine guns and artillery. {{spoiler|All twelve of them were able to strike the planet so hard that it caused catastrophic earthquakes, flooded Britain, disrupted the Earth's geomagnetic field and seem to have broken time and space.}}

* [[Perverse Sexual Lust]]: Regarding ''[[Quincy]], M.E.'', a detective drama from the 80s...

'''Miki:''' [[Brain Bleach|You would have]]...<br />

'''Kait:''' He was a crimefighting genius and he always had hot young chicks on his boat. Quincy's cock was a foot long. }}

** [[It Got Worse|It gets worse:]]

'''Karl:''' Oh, Christ, Kait! [[Too Much Information|Too much information!]] Is this my punishment? I have to think about you in an interrogation cell in front of a weeping criminal and rubbing one out?<br />

'''Kait:''' [lip bite]... And then Quincy walks in.<br />
