| Painkiller Jane | comment |
A television series based on the comic book Painkiller Jane, it revolves around Jane Vasco, a former DEA agent with the ability to heal from any injury being recruited by a secret government agency called NICO to hunt down people they term "Neuros" (short for "neurological aberrants") who possess mutations which give them extraordinary abilities. It only lasted one twenty-two episode season, which aired in 2007.It is unrelated to the 2005 Painkiller Jane film, even though both it and the show premiered on the Sci-Fi Channel. The former was a backdoor pilot of the series, but once made, its plot departed entirely from the movie's. | |

Kill Us Both | |
| Painkiller Jane / int_12ee5fe2 | comment |
Kill Us Both: How Jane (who will heal) suggests dealing with the shape shifter who is impersonating her in "What Lies Beneath." It fails to work, since it turns out that the shape shifter also has a Healing Factor. | |

Serial Killings, Specific Target | |
| Painkiller Jane / int_13dc1beb | comment |
Serial Killings, Specific Target: A (mostly) non-lethal version of this occurs in "Trial by Fire." The only person that the Neuro was interested in killing was his own wife, so he set a bunch of victimless house fires before killing her by setting their own home on fire; fortunately for him, the blame for the fires ended up being placed on Connor. | |

| Painkiller Jane / int_208c4494 | comment |
With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: The first episode had the characters posit that the Neuro mutation blurs a person's sense of right and wrong, but this theory is later dismissed by a doctor who notes that he has yet to uncover any kind of correlation between antisocial behavior and being a Neuro. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Connor can be a gruff, condescending, confrontational, and sexist asshole, but he does genuinely care about the team, to the point of having a tearful breakdown before going completely berserk when he is led to believe that the rest of the team was killed in "Higher Court." | |

The Reveal | |
| Painkiller Jane / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
The Reveal: Threefold in "Jane 113." Jane's boyfriend, Brian, is researching Vonotek and Neuros, and only hooked up with Jane to get close to them, though he does admit that he has fallen in love with Jane. We also learn that the Neuros are people who, at one point or another, participated in medical trials that were being held by Vonotek, unaware that the trials were illegal and that the drugs and medicines that they were exposed to were experimental immortality serums concocted by Doctor Roberts. Jane, Roberts, his second-in-command Randall Hyde, and Jakob Baumgartner are all members of a new generation of Neuros who were given a nearly-perfected version of the immortality serum that imbues people with Healing Factors. "What Lies Beneath": NICO has a secret laboratory where Neuros are subjected to barbaric surgeries and experiments—which tend to disfigure, cripple, or kill them—all in the name of expediting research into the source of their powers, how to cure them, and how to use them for the betterment of everyone on Earth. Jane and the rest of the team were totally unaware of the scientific atrocities that were being committed, and are completely disgusted by them, to the point that the head doctor is nearly murdered by an enraged Jane. | |

Getting Smilies Painted on Your Soul | |
| Painkiller Jane / int_98412467 | comment |
Getting Smilies Painted on Your Soul: The Neuro in "Something Nasty in the Neighborhood" is a Martha Stewart-esque public access TV show host who is capable of Mind Manipulation. Anyone who watches her show becomes a bland, vapid, perpetually pleasant person obsessed with things like gardening and picnic committees. The Neuro can outright command people to do more violent things, but prefers the "perfect" community that she is creating. | |

Master of Illusion | |
| Painkiller Jane / int_985d6d7f | comment |
Ruben Hennesy from "Higher Court." His daughter was murdered by a criminal who ended up being placed in the Witness Protection Program, which the distraught Ruben saw as little more than a glorified "Get Out of Jail Free" Card. He started using his Master of Illusion powers to locate and murder killers who were placed in the WPP. | |

The Dog Was the Mastermind | |
| Painkiller Jane / int_a08199ec | comment |
The Dog Was the Mastermind: In "Something Nasty in the Neighborhood." Once the team learns that someone in a gated community is brainwashing its residents to become Stepford-esque good citizens, they immediately suspect the mayor, who has a nightly show on the local Public Access Channel. But the real culprit is the woman who comes on after him—the Martha Stewart-like host of The Betty Boone Show. | |

Healing Factor | |
| Painkiller Jane / int_a5fb0d24 | comment |
Threefold in "Jane 113." Jane's boyfriend, Brian, is researching Vonotek and Neuros, and only hooked up with Jane to get close to them, though he does admit that he has fallen in love with Jane. We also learn that the Neuros are people who, at one point or another, participated in medical trials that were being held by Vonotek, unaware that the trials were illegal and that the drugs and medicines that they were exposed to were experimental immortality serums concocted by Doctor Roberts. Jane, Roberts, his second-in-command Randall Hyde, and Jakob Baumgartner are all members of a new generation of Neuros who were given a nearly-perfected version of the immortality serum that imbues people with Healing Factors. | |

Anti-Villain: A couple of instances of this, but a notable one was a Master of Illusion who found people in Witness Protection and used his powers to lure them to their deaths. He had lost a loved one to such an individual and now devoted his life to killing anyone who had escaped justice for their crimes by entering Witness Protection. Unfortunately, one would-be victim was actually innocent: he was a defense attorney who was placed in Witness Protection to keep him safe from a vindictive client whose case he had lost. | |
