Line 16:
* [[Arch Enemy]]: Argh! Yle! the living sock. Yes, his archenemy is a sock.
* [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever]]: One of his nemeses is The Koala Who Walks Like A Man, a parody of [[Marvel Comics]]' Giant Monster comics from the [[Silver Age]]. It goes "niknak". It's very cute.
* [[Berserk Button]]: He doesn't take too kindly to anyone who threatens TV sets.

'''Ambush Bug''' ([[Freaky Friday Flip|in Superman's body]]): Destroy TV sets?!! You '''''ANIMAL!!''''' }}
Line 44:
** During his latest miniseries, he also found his own gender-bent [[Yandere|alternate]].
* [[Genre Savvy]]
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: He started off as a supervillain and decided to become a superhero.
* [[Medium Awareness]]
** He has an uncanny ability to see through Clark Kent's disguise, and even remarks how no one should be fooled by it. Superman was not pleased. Supergirl took it with more grace when 'Bush revealed he knew who she was, [[Awesomeness By Analysis|merely by observing her in both her identities]].
Line 50:
* [[No Fourth Wall]]
* [[Post Modernism]]
* [[Rage Against the Author]]: Giffen/Bug isn't above lampshading [[DC Comics]]' faults (or his own).
** Dan DiDio is one of his mortal archenemies. When fighting against Bug, he's an idiot intent on destroying the damn green pest.
*** Before that, there was editor Julius Schwartz.
Line 62:
* [[Teleport Spam]]: Part of the reason of why he's a great fighter when dueling against serious enemies. Superman has learned to loathe this.
* [[Thought Caption]]: Ambush can see 'em.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Originally, he needed small electronic "bugs" to teleport. He has since internalized the ability.
* [[Un Installment]]: ''Ambush Bug: Year None'' has an issue number 7, but no number 6. The joke being that there was a huge delay with the release of the next issue after issue 5... so it was numbered 7 to mock the delay ("Issue 6 is ''never'' coming out!")
* [[What Did I Do Last Night?]]: In ''Ambush Bug: Year None'', he wakes up and finds he got married to Dumb Bunny of the Inferior Five.
