In Hero Years… I'm Dead: Difference between revisions

* [[Mentor Occupational Hazard]]: {{spoiler|Puma}} dies protecting Coyote and a bystander from Panda-monium. Subverted in that he's a bit senile at the moment, and probably didn't realize he was protecting his former pupil.

* [[Morally-Ambiguous Doctorate]]: Dr. Sinisterion, who is revealed to have a doctorate in divinity.

* [[Old Superhero]]: The novel doesn't shy away from the fact that older super-heroes typically find that years of heroics or [[Freak Lab Accident|strange empowering chemicals]] tend to leave one in very bad shape after a certain age. The successful ones frequently parlay this into a living selling memorabilia and autographs, but many of the older heroes never thought to try to control video footage of them and therefore have nothing left to sell but themselves.

* [[Reckless Sidekick]]: Nighthaunt reveals to Coyote that he accidentally made Redhawk this by being a bit too competent. Redhawk knew he'd always get rescued, so his ''modus operandi'' was to rush in half-cocked and his reaction in a hopeless situation was to give up and wait for rescue.

* [[Renaissance Man]]: Forced onto Coyote by {{spoiler|Dr. Sinisterion}} as he attended numerous schools to pick up numerous skills.
