No One Could Survive That!: At the end of "The Eve," Nick and Kate fire on the unnamed Link, seemingly vaporizing him. However, since no one knows his biology, they have no idea what his remains would be, assuming he left any. After Kate suggests it would be impossible for this Link to have survived, Captain Page points out the grim reality of SU2 that anything is possible. | |

Immune to Bullets: Gargoyles are immune to anything that will not blow them up entirely. There's a creature with tentacles that lives under the SU2 headquarters that eats garbage.

Carl likes to show off but hates to buy new shirts. | |

Mummy | |
| Special Unit 2 / int_c36f6d6c | comment |
Mummy: A Japanese mummy is revived by a lightning strike. Bonus points for mentioning that it's very rare for the Japanese to mummify someone due to space being a premium in Japan, meaning that the mummy is someone who was a great samurai when he was alive. As such, you don't wanna mess with it, especially since this one can appear as a normal man and can kick anyone else's ass. The mummy's goal is to kidnap three women "from different corners of the world" (i.e. 1 white, 1 black, 1 Asian) and sacrifice them in a ritual to boost his power up to eleven. | |

An Arm and a Leg: Page lost a hand in a war. His fake hand is sometimes used as a Running Gag. | |

I Know Your True Name | |
| Special Unit 2 / int_d3b02ffb | comment |
I Know Your True Name: According to Jonathan's research, knowing the name of the former king of the Links will give one power over him. Needless to say, the unnamed Link kept it under wraps. | |

Pheromones | |
| Special Unit 2 / int_d6743235 | comment |
Pheromones: One episode features a Link that emits these when scared (it's stated that Links like that are the inspiration for the Cupid myth). He ends up doing it outside a courthouse, and the pheromones (besides causing everyone around him to start making out with strangers) cause a Hanging Judge to suddenly start letting hardened criminals go free. The team has to find the Link and get him to undo the effect on the judge before a high-profile criminal is set free. | |

Fake Guest Star | |
| Special Unit 2 / int_d72edeb0 | comment |
Fake Guest Star: Sean appeared in every episode of Season 1 and was usually rather relevant, but he never made it into the opening credits. By contrast, his replacement did. | |

Vitriolic Best Buds | |
| Special Unit 2 / int_d7fc9fd0 | comment |
Vitriolic Best Buds: Nick and Carl are often arguing with each other, insulting each other, and even come to blows (Carl is Nigh-Invulnerable after all) but they are friends underneath it, such as when Nick helped plan Carl's surprise birthday party. Carl was also sympathetic towards Nick when the latter's mother was about to die. | |

| Special Unit 2 / int_d88e125e | comment |
Our Dragons Are Different: The standard Eastern and Western dragons are brought up, but the dragon we actually seen is described as a special Native American dragon...which behaves like a regular Western dragon anyway. | |

Our Gnomes Are Weirder: The only gnome we see is Carl, who looks like a normal short human expect for having Pointy Ears and a slightly weird-looking face. Gnomes are apparently invulnerable to everything except dragon fire and a diamond-encrusted blade. | |

The Face: Carl is the SU2 liason to the Link underworld. He's not personable or friendly to say the least, but he has useful connections and considering other Links want nothing to do with SU2, he's a step-up. | |

Darkest Hour: The emergence of a new Chameleon is such a severe situation that Page orders every available officer to take part in finding it, while Carl and other local Links want to get out of the city ASAP. Even the unnamed king of Links showing up didn't cause such a panic. | |

Literal Genie | |
| Special Unit 2 / int_feb72f62 | comment |
Literal Genie: One of the Links exploited this for her Evil Plan. It involved manipulating people into talking figuratively which she could then interpret literally. Unlike a typical genie, this one only had one power: To turn into a puff of smoke and hide in a container. All wishes have to be done the old-fashioned way (e.g. someone asks for a model, she has to go and kidnap one). | |
