Line 27:
* [[Ascended Fanboy|Ascended Fangirl]]: Kait, who grew up on cop shows and has appointed herself the chief of police for Whitechapel.
* {{spoiler|[[Ascend to A Higher Plane of Existence]]}}: The ending heavily implies that {{spoiler|the Freakangels ended up somewhere outside of time, and this was where their future selves were communicating with themselves in the present. [[Mind Screw|Or something]].}}
* [[Back -Alley Doctor]]: Miki. Each of the FreakAngels is a self-taught but very competent back-alley specialist in a different area. Their power "package" let them master their professions by reading the minds of experts.
* [[Back From the Dead]]: Mark was thought dead early on, and came back. Two characters{{spoiler|(Luke and Connor) come back after being shot point-blank in the head.}} Another may have done it more than once. In fact, some characters posit that {{spoiler|1=none of the FreakAngels can actually die.}}
* [[Badass]]: Jack and Kait can kick ass without their powers, being a salvager/explorer and policeman respectively.
Line 56:
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Arkady, [[Justified Trope|attributed]] to brain damage from a drug overdose and generally spending her spare time pushing the limits of her brain.
* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: Miki, [http://www.freakangels.com/?p=91&page=4 here].
* [[Combo -Platter Powers]]: Every FreakAngel can use telepathy to talk to the others, read minds, see through someone else's eyes, and project their own thoughts and memories. They can use telekinesis in a variety of ways, from deflecting bullets to causing [[Stuff Blowing Up|explosions]]. They regenerate from serious injury and can go for weeks without food, water, or sleep. Together, they can freeze time, reshape wood on the cellular level, reverse the chemical reaction of expended gunpowder on the ''molecular'' level and build time moats.
** Lampshaded by Arkady, who apparently spends much of her time [[How Do I Shot Web?|developing new tricks]], such as teleportation.
** {{spoiler|It's also possible that they can't be killed}}, considering that Mark survived having an ice pick driven into his brain, {{spoiler|and Luke and Connor have both survived fatal headshots}}.
** It's hinted (and possible, within the realm of pseudo-science) that all their powers are simply manipulations of an incredibly potent personal electromagnetic field.
Line 68:
* [[Gorn]]: Forget the below-mentioned [[Your Head Asplode]] - We've got Your TORSO A-splode! Not to mention the loving rendition of shattering bones and tearing flesh...
* [[Groin Attack]]: [http://www.freakangels.com/?p=387&page=6 Poor, poor Jack...]
* [[The Heart]]: Connor is the most compassionate and empathetic of the group. The others [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?|tend to think of him as rather useless]] (unlike the others, he doesn't have a unique specialty power, and he seems to be the weakest), but they do admit that he's generally the one who's managed to keep them working together (and the idea that they've started killing each other is enough to make Connor want to leave forever). Consequentially {{spoiler|his package upgrade gives him the ability to [[Heart Is an Awesome Power|join all of the Freakangels together into a unified mindspace where their powers are dramatically increased]].}}
* [[Heel Face Brainwashing]]: {{spoiler|Luke, consensually and by request because [[My God, What Have I Done?|he's ashamed to realize how low he's fallen]].}}
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]] / [[Ho Yay]]: Kirk and Karl seem to only be able to stand each other, {{spoiler|tried to murder Mark}} and kept the secret to themselves, and despite their many interactions have the rare accomplishment of never fighting with one another. Though they don't get much focus, it's implied rather heavily they share a strong bond.
Line 99:
** In Episode 0122, {{spoiler|Luke}} appears to be having one of these moments, {{spoiler|saying the only thing to do is "get rid of him" and then for the others to sort out why they're here...while crying}}.
** Evidently, this is the reason for {{spoiler|Mark's activities. He was responsible for breaking the country as badly as it did, and he went crazy with guilt. Even worse when you remember all his good intentions as a thirteen year old kid.}}
* [[Near -Death Experience]]: Apparently {{spoiler|1=any one of these unpacks a FreakAngel's package further}}.
* [[Neologism]]: "Wazzock", via Arkady.
** Actually, that's just a Briticism.
Line 121:
* [[Sand in My Eyes]]: In Episode 0122 {{spoiler|Luke}} starts to cry after giving a speech where he admits what a terrible person he's been. Upon realizing this, he comments [[Tear Jerker|"Something's wrong with my eye."]]
* [[Secret Keeper]]: Alice is the only person in Whitechapel who knows that the FreakAngels really have superpowers.
* [[Shout -Out]]: The afterlife apparently does ''not'' include [[Black Adder|Satan and his little wizards]].
* [[Steampunk]] / [[Ocean Punk]]: KK has a [[Those Magnificent Flying Machines|steam helicopter]], not to mention the steam-powered, crank-operated ''[[Gatling Good|Gatling gun]]''.
* [[Tears of Blood]]: These start showing up {{spoiler|1=as the FreakAngels' reconstruction of Whitechapel becomes more and more advanced.}}
