{{tropelist}}
=== ''Legion of Super-Heroes'' provides examples of: ===
 
* [[Acrofatic]]: Bouncing Boy.
* [[Actor Allusion]]: [[Dave Wittenberg]]'s character, Ferro Lad, at one point tells Lightning Lad that [[Naruto|he doesn't want to see what's under his mask]].
* [[Ambiguously Gay]]
** [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?|Color Kid]], appropriately enough. His rainbow [[Chest Insignia]] was even changed into a ''fabulous'' rainbow ''triangle'' for the series, [[Anvilicious|just in case you weren't paying attention]].
** Not to mention Brainy and his obsession with Superman... which, thanks to the opening of season 2's first episode may be a whoooole lot [[StraightInvisible Gayto Gaydar|less ambiguous]].
* [[Amnesiac Dissonance]]: Ron-Karr
* [[And I Must Scream]]: One interpretation of {{spoiler|Ayla Ranzz}} before "Chained Lightning".
Line 39 ⟶ 38:
* [[Captain Obvious]]: Saturn Girl can give [[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Deanna "I sense he's hiding something!" Troi]] a run for her money.
* [[Card-Carrying Villain]]: Drax.
{{quote| '''Superman''': Why are you doing this?<br />
'''Drax''': Because I'm evil. Always have been, always will be. }}
* [[Catapult Nightmare]]: Showcasing that Lightning Lad is [[Shirtless Scene|surprisingly buff]] [[She Is's All Grown Up|this season.]]
* [[Chekhov's Skill]]: Superman X's Kryptonite immunity. It was mentioned only once, when introducing himself and how his [[Lego Genetics]] make him stronger, however, it never saw any use in the series proper until the finale, {{spoiler|where it saves the Original Superman's life.}}
* [[Chess Motifs]]
Line 104 ⟶ 103:
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Although they weren't seen after their "turns", {{spoiler|Lightning Lord and Ron-Karr}}.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Ferro Lad}} in the 1st season finale, as a nod to the comics.
* [[She Is's All Grown Up|He Is All Grown Up]]: Clark in season two. ''"Wow."''
* [[How Do I Shot Web?]]: Superman in the first episode.
* [[If You Kill Him You Will Be Just Like Him]]: Lightning Lad comes this close to fatally violating [[Wouldn't Hit a Girl]]...
Line 160 ⟶ 159:
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Most notably seen in their {{spoiler|[[Fusion Dance]] during the Season 2 finale}}, Superman (blue) and his clone Superman X (red).
* [[The Resolution Will Not Be Televised]]
* [[Robot Names]]: Superman X's bi-parental unit, K3NT (Which tends to make a [[Late to Thethe Punchline]] moment once you write it down like that).
* [[Secret Keeper]]: Brainy, about Superman's weaknesses, and the fact that he keeps a chunk of Kryptonite in his safe.
* [[Sequel Hook]]: Season 2 ends with {{spoiler|a new Brainiac born from Brainiac 5's "husk"}}.
{{quote| '''{{spoiler|Brainiac 6}}:''' [[Card-Carrying Villain|Evil]] does not die. It evolves.}}
* [[Shoo Out the Clowns]]: Losing one-third of yourself to anti-matter bubbles = [[Darker and Edgier|This Season Is Serious]].
* [[Shoot the Dog]]: What Super<s>boy</s>man ''thinks'' he's doing in "Fear Factory". Fortunately {{spoiler|Brainiac 5}} always [[Brain Uploading|carries a spare copy]].
Line 185 ⟶ 184:
* [[Time Skip]]: Season 2 takes place two years after the end of season 1.
* [[Token Minority Couple]]: Fangirls who were not that familiar with the comic tended to ship Dream Girl and Cosmic Boy together in fan fiction because they didn't see any other options.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Season 2: the intro theme, and the main characters' appearances (possibly justified by them aging along with the audience). Lightning Lad now has a soul patch, for example.
* [[Transformation Trauma]]: "Trials"
* [[Unspoken Plan Guarantee]]
Line 191 ⟶ 190:
* [[Villain Team-Up]]: The brief alliance between the Fatal Four and the Legion of Supervillains in part 2 of the second season premiere.
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]:
{{quote| '''{{spoiler|Brainiac 5}}:''' Do not worry. Soon this agony shall pass, as it will pass from this entire universe. Once my work is complete, there will be no more pain, no more chaos. Only [[Utopia Justifies the Means|a perfect order imposed by me]].}}
* [[Wham! Episode]]: Dark Victory. {{spoiler|Brainiac 5 ends up being controlled by Brainiac 1.0, Superman is defeated and [[Our Hero Is Dead|apparently killed]], and ''Imperiax'' [[Killed Off for Real]]}}.
* [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]]: The {{spoiler|crown of Kryptonite.}}
Line 199 ⟶ 198:
* [[Whole-Episode Flashback]]: "In the Beginning"
* [[With a Capital T]]: "Unnatural Alliances"
{{quote| '''Duo Damsel:''' Terra-Man, word is you've been terrorizing this entire prairie in search of someone.<br />
'''Star Boy:''' The only thing you're gonna find here is trouble.<br />
'''Bouncing Boy:''' With a capital "L"! }}
* [[Xtreme Kool Letterz]]: Lot of X's in the names.
