Line 29:
* [[A God Am I]]: Nova's archenermy Sphinx is this. He/she had fought the New Warriors and altered reality twice.
* [[And Now for Someone Completely Different]]: New Warriors Vol. 4 didn't feature a ''single'' fomer member of the team, instead filling the roster with X-Men characters who had been depowered following ''[[House of M]]''. Whilst there ''was'' a Night Thrasher on the team, it was quickly revealed to be the younger brother of the original.
* [[Animal
* [[Appropriated Appellation]]: The New Warriors got named when a random reporter referred to them that way, and Night Thrasher hurriedly announced they'd be sticking with that before any of his team could come up with anything more embarrassing.
* [[Ascended Extra]] - Except for Thrasher, the original cast members were protagonists of cancelled series (Nova, Speedball) or minor supporting characters elsewhere. Several characters went on to new solo series, Nova being the most successful (albeit intermittently.)
Line 44:
* [[C List Fodder]] - The various incarnations of the team generally draw their ranks from this pool.
* [[Clothes Make the Superman]] - The original Thrasher and several of the current team members depend on gadgets for their powers
* [[Clones Are People, Too]]: {{spoiler|Namorita is the clone of Namora, Sub-Mariner's seldom-seen cousin. Namorita is a much more of a major character, appearing continually whereas Namora sometimes goes decades without having her existence acknowledged. Until recently anyway. Namorita has died and now Namora appears more frequently. Basically, Namora couldn't have children, so she had her science folks implant her with an embryo made entirely from herself. The plot has always treated her like more of a daughter, though her clone status has been discovered and caused trouble at times}}.
* [[Cold
* [[Coming of Age Story]] - Vance's time in the Vault causes [[Character Development]] and the transition from Marvel Boy to Justice.
* [[Cursed With Awesome]]: Firestar may have visually awesome fire powers (microwave heat) but her microwave heat powers also render her sterile if she uses it too much.
Line 52:
* [[Deus Exit Machina]]: Nova is at times written out of some New Warriors issues by losing his Nova Force powers or going away on a space mission as he is one of the most powerful members of the team.
* [[Die or Fly]] - Night Thrasher recruits Nova this way. Nova is less than thrilled.
** Not helped by the fact that [[How Did You Know? I Didn't.|Night Thrasher was pretty much making a lucky guess]].
* [[Evasive Fight Thread Episode]]: The New Warriors once fought X-Force with no clear winner, although there was a double-KO when Nova and Cannonball collided.
* [[Evil Old Folks]]: {{spoiler|Tai}} in 'Nothing But The Truth' storyline.
Line 66:
* [[Legacy Character]] - Turbo, whose armor belonged to Rom ally The Torpedo. Justice/Marvel Boy is an odd inversion: his [[Buck Rogers]]-like future self, Vance Astro of the Guardians Of The Galaxy, was introduced first, and he travels back in time to prevent the present Vance from becoming an astronaut. Vance's Marvel Boy costume is modeled on Astro's black-and-white spacesuit. The Scarlet Spiders also joined the Counter Force/Avengers Resistance incarnation of the group, wearing modified versions of the Iron Spider armor. Also, the current Night Thrasher is the brother of the first, who was killed.
* [[Let's Wait Awhile]] - Vance and Angelica decide not to consummate their relationship (literally) in the wake of his aborted jailbreak.
* [[Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me]]: Night Thrasher occasionally uses his skateboard as a shield. A retractable blade is built into the nose, but otherwise it's mostly used for defense. The Punisher, of all people, commented:
{{quote| "I called it stupid? It serves as a shield, a weapon and transport. Maybe ''I'' should get one."}}
* [[Missing Mom]]: Firestar's mother is not mentioned in any backstory, she lives with her father.
Line 81:
** Speedball also spent his time in prison during Civil War crossover as he was wrongly accused of destroying Stamford. [[Break the Cutie|With days of torment, being powerless, branded as the 'Most Hated Man' and near-death experience]], Robbie Baldwin [[Shoo Out the Clowns|abandons his Speedball phase and becomes Penance]].
* [[Reed Richards Is Useless]] - The first team tried to intervene in the Trans-Sabal civil war, only to make things ''worse''.
* [[Re
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: In one storyline, the mafia Poison Memories had targeted the family members of the New Warriors as part of a vendetta against the Warriors and one of them was Elvin's grandmother who was killed by the gangsters. Elvin Haliday (also known as Rage) was very pissed-off and went after the gangsters that on the final confrontation, he brutally snapped the neck of the gang leader as a result.
* [[ROM Spaceknight]] - Rom's enemies, the Dire Wraiths, returned in the Warriors series
* [[Self Restraint]]: Marvel Boy's refusal to be bust out of prison.
* [[Something Person]] - Marvel Boy
* [[Stolen Good, Returned Better]]: Played with this a bit. The character Silouette stole an Unstable Molecule costume from Reed Richards (she could meld into the shadows for teleportation but would always lose her clothes in the process since they can't meld with her, forcing her to find something with less [[Fan Service]].) She shed her old costume and stole the new one, feeling guilty about the situation afterwards. She tried to return it to Richards but he was fine with the situation and ended up tweaking it slightly for her and offering to make further costumes in the future.
* [[Stripperific]] - Namorita's preferred costume is a ''bathing suit.'' Frequently a bikini, as depicted above.
* [[Superhero Sobriquets]]: Speedball is known as 'The Masked Marvel' and Nova is known as 'The Human Rocket'.
