Amoral Attorney: Singularity Jain is this trope in the extreme, an alien Baroness lawyer who is a living black hole.Action Duo: With Jessica being the Action Survivor half and Simon being Action Hero half, the two form a rather rocky alliance of superheroes that still manage to get the job done.Simon's supporting cast largely disappears, he moves off of Earth and stops having to deal with the stigma of being falsely accused of terrorism, Jessica's job is dropped and never mentioned again, and Jessica's crippling social anxiety becomes an Informed Attribute. Plotlines concerning Simon and Jessica learning how to re-adjust to society are largely dropped in the second half of the book, with the focus instead going to Simon's romantic life and Jessica dealing with her ring.Since Jessica was also being hunted for the other situation, the plot with her ring has absolutely no impact and is tied up in less than two pages. Hal immediately agrees and apologises to her, calling off the entire manhunt. The plotline is resolved when they meet up and talk after a different situation temporarily made Jessica Brainwashed and Crazy, and Jessica points out that all she did was re-write her ring with willpower - not unlike what Hal did when he used willpower to make a ring whole-cloth. Hal Jordan promises to bring her in himself.
