Certain perilous themes and motifs appear constantly throughout the Black Scorpion series.
Darcy Gets Clobbered: If Black Scorpion's victory percentage is something like fifty, than Darcy's-- out of costume-- is probably close to zero. You'd think that Darcy's skill-set as a civilian wouldn't be too drastically different from BS's... But that's not the case. A costume-less Darcy is often a helpless Darcy.

Small Hero, Big Problem: BS has a hard time fending off larger foes. She's not a particularly imposing woman, and men and women who are bigger and taller seem to be able to get her in bearhugs, chokeholds, and throws with ease.

Identity Crisis: Many times, BS is unmasked, forced to unmask, or ready to unmask herself. Some returning characters-- Detective Rafferty and Flashpoint, especially-- seem to have a perverse desire when it comes to finding out BS's secret identity.
