* [[Improbable Piloting Skills]]
* [[Loving a Shadow]]: His crush on Cree is pretty superficial, given he focuses on her beautiful appearance rather than her unpleasant personality. {{spoiler|It's also implied his crush was based on his own implicit feelings on his teammate and Cree's sister, Numbuh Five.}}
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Hoagie P. Gilligan ''Jr.'', appropriately enough, a twofer reference. First, there's "Gilligan," a reference to the title character of ''[[Gilligan's Island]]'', who was also second-in-command on the ''S.S. Minnow''. Then there's the "Jr.", often used at the end of a boy's name to signify that he's the second male in the family to have inherited his father's name (a seemingly throwaway detail that actually foreshadows the importance of his [[Disappeared Dad]], Hoagie P. Gilligan, Sr.)

* [[Tender Tears]]
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Girly Girl to Numbah Five's Tomboy.

* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: When she goes into Demon Mode.
* [[We Need a Distraction]]: Specializes in this when not being [[The Medic]].
Line 182 ⟶ 193:
* [[Badbutt]]
* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: With Numbuh Three.
* [[Berserk Button]]: You ''will not'' harm [[Big Brother Instinct|his baby brother]] or [[Official Couple|Numbuh Three]] in his presence. And, while he's not as bad about it as [[Fullmetal Alchemist|another vertically-challenged blond]], don't make fun of his height

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Wallabee ''Beatles''—four members of The Beatles [a.k.a "The Fab Four"]. Also, four is considered an unlucky number in Chinese culture and Wally is the unluckiest member of the group.

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The red to Numbah Two's blue.
* [[Ridiculously Successful Future Self]]

* [[Nice Hat]]: Doubles as a [[Memento MacGuffin]].
* [[Noodle Incident]]: It's mentioned in passing in one episode that Numbuh Five was once leader of Sector V. She stepped down from the position after some incident, but we never find out. Other bits point that she couldn't take the stress of full on leadership. She {{spoiler|nearly has a panic attack when Nigel reinstates her as leader before he leaves for his galactic mission. He reassures her she always had what it took to lead the group. Considering she would later take over the role of commanding the entire K.N.D, he wasn't kidding.}}

* [[Third Person Person]]: Not always, but very, very often.

* [[Tsundere]]: Usually, she's a calm, collected girl, but tends to turn into a harsh example with the people she loves most, be it familial (her sister Cree), or romantic ({{spoiler|Numbuh Two}}).
* [[Twofer Token Minority]]: French and African.
* [[Wise Beyond Their Years|Wise Beyond Her Years]]
Line 384 ⟶ 391:
* [[Ascended Extra]]: She was only in one episode in season 2 and was never seen again until after Chad betrayed the team.
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: "Operation: I.T.", "Operation: Z.E.R.O."
* [[Betty and Veronica]]: Technically, she's the Veronica when compared to Nigel's girlfriend Lizzie. In terms of personality, though, she's more of a Betty.
* [[Big Good]]
* [[Brown Eyes]]: Her eyes sometimes appear brown.
Line 397 ⟶ 405:

* [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man]]: Her crush on Numbuh One.
* [[Team Mom]]
* [[Wise Beyond Their Years|Wise Beyond Her Years]]
Line 428 ⟶ 438:

*
*
* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]
* [[Hair-Trigger Temper]]: Through [[Flanderization]].
* [[Hates Being Touched]]
* [[Humanoid Abomination]]: Can in ways be seen as this.
*
* [[Large Ham]]: You can tell [[Maurice LaMarche]] is having way too much fun with this role.
* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: In the earlier episodes, the Delightful Children were the main villains, though he was actually mentioned in the first episode. In "Operation: C.A.N.N.O.N." the Delightfuls mention a curfew alert stating that they had to leave their butt whupping on Sector V or else Father would be angry.
Line 441 ⟶ 451:
* [[Name's the Same]]: No, he's not the [[Big Bad]] from ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', although their roles in their respective series are surprisingly similar.

* [[Card-Carrying Villain]]
Line 553 ⟶ 564:
* [[The Danza]]
* [[Dark Action Girl]]
* [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones]]: Attempted but subverted. She may show some kindness towards Abby, but that doesn't stop her for treating her like shit. And considering the mayority of the villains treating their loved ones (even if they're heroic) with way more respect and care, she comes across as '''worse''' than them in this regard. See YMMV's [[Unintentionally Unsympathetic]].
* [[Face Heel Turn]]
* [[Fallen Hero]]
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Jerk]]: Sure, she may have her nice moments with her younger sister, but she's not above being an abusive [[Ungrateful Bastard|Ungrateful Bitch]] who treats her horribly. And while she does want to reconcile with her, she does want to do so by forcing Abby into a [[Face Heel Turn]] proving that, even if she cares about Abby, she cares more about [[It's All About Me|herself]], not willing to make ''any'' effort into repairing their relationship.▼
* [[Instant Armor]]
▲* [[Jerk with a Heart of Jerk]]: Sure, she may have her nice moments with her younger sister, but she's not above being an abusive [[Ungrateful Bastard|Ungrateful Bitch]] who treats her horribly. And while she does want to reconcile with her, she does want to do so by forcing Abby into a [[Face Heel Turn]] proving that, even if she cares about Abby, she cares more about [[It's All About Me|herself]], not willing to make ''any'' effort into repairing their relationship.
* [[Kick the Dog]]: As being a bitch towards her sister wasn't enough, she tends to be horrible towards Numbuh Two, who has a crush on her, especially in "Operation: K.I.S.S.". {{spoiler|Thankfully, Hoagie wised up and married her younger sister.}}
* [[Ship Tease]]: With Maurice.
* [[Teens Are Monsters]]
* [[Ungrateful Bastard|Ungrateful Bitch]]: '''YES.''' This is one of the many reasons she's largely [[The Scrappy|despised]] by the fandom.
Line 675 ⟶ 686:
* [[Large Ham]]: Is an even bigger ham than his son.
* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: Literally. Had his memory erased by Numbuh Zero using some kind of laser, reducing him to a harmless old man until he's "recommissioned" by Father. This actually seems to be the only way to defeat him, as all other attempts failed completely.
* [[Morality Pet]]: Subverted.
** Actually he liked {{spoiler|Zero}} more for the fact he was willing to stand up to him and give Grandfather something of a challenge.
* [[Nigh Invulnerability]]: His reaction to getting [[Colony Drop|crushed under the entire Kids Next Door Moonbase]] is to dust himself off and ask if they really thought that would work.
* [[No Ontological Inertia]]: His defeat restores the world to normal.
Line 701 ⟶ 712:
* [[Badass Normal]]: Bonus points for not even being a KND Operative.
* [[Betty and Veronica]]: Technically, she's the Betty to Rachel's Veronica, but she has more of a Veronica personality.
* [[Characterization Marches On]]: In her first appearance, she brainwashed Nigel into being her obediant boyfriend and even tried to make him destroy to his friends. The KND fight back and Nigel is unbrainwashed, but the episode ends with Lizzie [[Karma Houdini|getting the date she wanted anyway]]. Later episodes more or less completely ignored her origin story, and considerably softened her character.
* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]
Line 712 ⟶ 724:
* [[Official Couple]]: Her and Numbuh One. {{spoiler|They break up later, and actually ''she'' is the one who brought it up.}}
* [[Palette Swap]]: She has the same character model as one of the Delightful Children From Down The Lane.
* [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man]]: She's Nigel/Numbuh One's girlfriend.
* [[Tsundere]]:
