Line 21:
** The Spectrum - [[Green Lantern]]
** Silver Bullet - [[The Flash]]
** King of the Sea - [[Aquaman]].
** Uberman - Again, [[Superman]] at first glance, what with the multiple powers and his seeming perfect nature.
** Super Soldier - A rather unflattering take on [[Captain America (comics)]].
** The school Scarlett attended to hone her powers was an obvious reference to the [[X-Men]].
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: {{spoiler|Justice is able to mind-control all the other heroes through their rings, but Thom's team placed theirs on Ruth's hand before burying her, hence why they weren't affected and were able to save the day}}.
Line 30:
* {{spoiler|[[Dead Guy, Junior]]: Scarlett plans on naming her baby "Ruth" if it's a girl.}}
* [[Expy]]: Every single hero in the League.
* [[Eye Beams]]: Transvision Vamp has them.
* [[Five-Man Band]]: The team led by Golden Boy consists of Thom, Scarlett, Larry, and Ruth.
** [[The Hero]]: Thom
** [[The Lancer]]: Scarlett, although Golden Boy tends to fall into this as well.
** [[The Big Guy]]: Golden Boy.
** [[The Smart Guy]]: Ruth.
** [[The Chick]]: Larry by default.
* [[Flying Brick]]: Uberman is. {{spoiler|By the end of the book, Thom is too.}}
* [[Foe Yay]]: Between Goran and Thom, until it becomes just [[Ho Yay]].
Line 45:
* [[I Love Nuclear Power]]: Subverted. Scarlett got her powers from radiation, {{spoiler|but it also gave her cancer}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Kryptonite Factor]]: The mineral in Hall Creed's wedding ring is from Justice's home planet. Since Justice is a [[Superman]] [[Expy]]...}}
* [[The Medic]]: Thom serves as this during nearly all of Golden Boy's battle plans. He's not too happy with it.
* [[Noodle People]]: Sssnake's ability allows him to do this.
* ''[[Plaguemaster]]'': Typhoid Larry, a rare [[Incredibly Lame Pun|heroic]] version of this.
