* Parodied: The combined weight of Maria's breasts and muscles makes her so heavy that she falls over.
* Deconstructed: Maria maybe be the Ms. Fanservice of the show, it's largely for the audience's benefit. In-story she's regard as unattractive by most of the cast and those who do find her attractive are too intimidated to approach her.
* The mooks team up on Maria because they see her as the biggest threat, and together they beat her to a pulp.

* Lampshaded: "Have you ever noticed how hot Maria's muscles are?"
* Alternatively: "My, Grandma, what big muscles you have!" "All the better to hit bad guys with."
* Invoked: "Ever since Maria started working out she's been wearing less clothes."
* Defied: "Yuck, I don't care. There's no way I'd want to be that muscular."
* Discussed: "I don't care how many comics you read. There's no way a woman could be that hot with that much muscle."
* Conversed: "Can't blame her, if I'd worked hard for a body like that, I wouldn't care what other people think and would be showing off too." Back to Amazonian Beauty
