Arbitrarily Large Bank Account: Mr. Pilgrim appears to have one of these, as Star Key Enterprises effortlessly provides Steelgrip and Flynn with a New York City apartment suite, a private jet, costumes uniforms, and anything else they need without any concern for expenses. Justified because the entire effort is run by the White Brotherhood, who can apparently use magic to provide whatever funds are needed. |

Empathic Tool: The All-Purpose Power Tool will only work for those pure of heart. Steelgrip Lampshades this trope when he says it feels like the APPT is silently communicating with him. |
