One very minor criticism: I'd suggest avoid using exclamation points if at all possible.

I'll take it into consideration, but at least I didn't write, "this game ROXXORS!!!! W00t!!!"... which is what I was feeling inside ;)

It's never explicitly called out as a character type, but a guy called The Vapour is mentioned a few times. He uses gas weapons to knock out and evade from his enemies :) Things like The Shadow and (I think) Batman are referenced a number of times in the more OOC sections, though. Oh, and one of the sample characters is a mystic kung-fu vigilante.
In other words, it's not the main focus of the game (which is film noir with a cyberpunk sheen), but it's sell-supported as a narrative structure.
