Custom Uniform of Sexy: All the female members wears revealing outfits, many baring their midesctions as seen in the page image. Justified, as they're supposedly a celebrity team and the series was published in the 2000's, at a time when this kind of look was practically compulsory at all times for any female celebrity under forty.

Discard and Draw: Mulholland Black lost her mutant powers after M-Day, and was recruited into Tony Stark's Fifty State Initiative and given an artificial version of her powers. Then when she was depowered by the bad guys, it reactivated her original powers. Or so she thought. It was really Stane rebooting Stark's tech-based powers, but more potent and less controlled.

Career-Ending Injury
 The Order (2007) (Comic Book) / int_2882c8c1
comment
Career-Ending Injury: Several of the Order's members lost their previous careers to injuries. "Calamity" James Wa was a track and baseball star throughout high school and into his college years, due to his phenomenal running speed. He was even on the cover of Sports Illustrated, referred to as "the boy most likely to succeed." Not long after, he lost his legs in a car accident. Milo Fields was a former soldier who was shot through the spine after becoming an anti-war protester. Dennis Michael Murray was a warrant officer who was critically wounded and paralyzed during the incident that led to Tony Stark becoming Iron Man.

Celebrity Superhero: The team is half-way between this and Celebrity Masquerade, being a group of existing celebrities who were given artificial superpowers as part of the short-lived Avengers Initiative project after Civil War (2006). Despite their publicity-oriented origin, they ended up as a well-intentioned and quite competent superhero team, until Ezekiel Stane picked them as C-List Fodder to be curb-stomped as his first major act of supervillainy, leading to the death of two of their number.

Take That, Audience!: There's a fan theory that the Sudden Downer Ending, in which Ezekiel Stane curb-stomps the entire team just to piss off Tony Stark, is a metafictional Take That! with Stane representing Marvel fans who are only interested in decades-old characters and don't support series starring newly-created characters.

No Such Agency: S.H.A.D.O.W., led by General Sam Softly, the M.A.N. from S.H.A.D.O.W. A top-secret government agency that no one has ever heard of before, who makes life hell for the Order at every opportunity for reasons no one understands. It's not until near the end of the series that we finally learn that there really isn't any such agency. Ezekiel Stane, a terrorist with a hatred of Tony Stark, took a few Mooks and a couple hundred Ridiculously Human Robots to create a fake secret military organization. Tony later works out that there was a top-top-secret organization named S.H.D.O. back in the late '50s, who tried to create an army of super-solders for every state — not unlike the Fifty-State Initiative Tony is trying to execute now. It's what Stane based his false group on, co-opting its old, abandoned base in the Salton Sea.

Avona isn't so sure, but Maul doesn't see any harm in it: "What are they gonna do, fire us tomorrow?" The next day, everyone who went out that night is fired — turns out they violated the morality clause in their contracts.

Driven to Suicide: Becky Ryan was initially kept off the team because her psychiatric evaluation suggested that there was a good chance she might try to kill herself. Naturally, her first mission ends with her trying to absorb a nuclear explosion. Thankfully, she survives. Mulholland Black alludes to having been suicidal in the past, especially after M-Day took away her powers.

After the events of Civil War (2006), they turned to assassinating current and former members of the Order, realizing that they would not be able to continue their former non-lethal activities as long as California had a government-sanctioned super-team running around.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In the very first issue, a third of the team manages to get fired after they decide to celebrate their first victory by getting wasted. This creates a publicity problem for the rest of the team.

comment
Super-Soldier: The Order is essentially a grouping of applied phlebotinum media darlings; a team crafted to be popular AND powerful. One of the few teams that Tony Stark had a personal hand in building. Unfortunately, these superbeings have a time-limit on their careers: each person is under contract for only one year (otherwise the idea would get "stale", plus their granted powers might kill them).

White-Dwarf Starlet: Anthem is a washed-up actor and friend in long standing of Iron Man's. How bad is he? Not only had he sunk into depression and become a severe alcoholic, he was resistant to the idea of a comeback because he felt he didn't deserve it. Luckily, he got better before the series began.

Psycho Rangers: The Dahlias were given powers based on the Order's initial roster, with Wendy being a counterpart to Avona, Lisa being a counterpart to Pierce, Marie being a counterpart to Calamity, and Rae-Ann being a counterpart to Heavy. Presumably, they expected that Mulholland would rejoin them and serve as a counterpart to either Maul, Anthem, or Corona.

Prelude to Suicide: Becky Ryan was initially kept off the team because her background check revealed a string of self-destructive behaviors, including drug abuse and eating disorders, but she ended up making the cut after half of the initial team were kicked out for public drinking. After she pulls a very public attempt at a Heroic Sacrifice on her first mission, Henry pulls her aside and asks her point-blank if she was trying to kill herself.

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Subverted. It looks like by deactivating Holly's Soma-provided powers, the Dahlias accidentally manage to reactivate her mutant powers, which are much, much stronger. It soon turns out, however, that Stane merely got her Soma-powers to work right, and he deliberately did so as part of his Evil Plan.

Sparing Them the Dirty Work: During The Order's first mission, Calamity is sent to track down the Soviet sleeper agents who are mentally controlling a team of cloned Russian superheroes who are trying to nuke Los Angeles. He discovers that the agents are literally sleeper agents — they were put on ice way back in the sixties and don't realize that the Cold War is over, and there is no way to wake them up in time to stop the bomb, and thus someone will have to kill them. Calamity, having no experience with killing, can't bring himself to do it, so the team sends Omninaut, who used to be a soldier, to do it for him.

S.H.A.D.O.W., led by General Sam Softly, the M.A.N. from S.H.A.D.O.W. A top-secret government agency that no one has ever heard of before, who makes life hell for the Order at every opportunity for reasons no one understands. It's not until near the end of the series that we finally learn that there really isn't any such agency. Ezekiel Stane, a terrorist with a hatred of Tony Stark, took a few Mooks and a couple hundred Ridiculously Human Robots to create a fake secret military organization.

comment
Well-Intentioned Extremist: The Black Dahlias were originally founded to protect women in Los Angeles from exploitation, and their opposition to the Order is based on the notion that it's unfair to restrict the right to be a superhero to a bunch of well-connected C-list celebrities. That said, their methods of fighting back against this system are very, very wrong.
