Line 772:
** Marcie Ross and Trish Chabot when they are in their 'Field Service' uniforms. These being the black suits popularized by the [[The Men in Black|Men in Black]] Conspiracy theories.
* [[Humanoid Aliens|Humanoid Alien]]: What Spring-Heel'd Jackie claims to be. Even then, she also claims it is just [[A Form You Are Comfortable With]] because her people are [[Energy Beings]] with no physical existence.
* [[Humongous Mecha]]: Warren Mears' "April 2" units. Schubert's Deep Water Combat and Construction units.
* [[Hunting the Most Dangerous Game]]: The Savage.
* [[Hyperactive Metabolism]]: "Princess" Awqasisa is basically a mummy afforded animation by a bizarre fungus, who when injured "heals" by consuming large quantities of carbohydrates and water for the fungus to use as raw materials for repairing her.
Line 829:
** Waylon "Croc" Jones
** The Professional Alligator Wrestler (and sometime hero) James "Leatherback" Collins.
** Woody, close associate of Max Steel
* [[Lovable Rogue]]: Jonathan Lowe is an ethical criminal with an exceptionally strong moral compass.
* [[Lower Deck Episode]]: Several stories shift the focus to the less-prominent members of the SRI, and let us see just how badass they can be on their own. And one plotline in ''Incubation Period'' follows Sister Marie's best friend, intrepid reporter Maddie Sabatino-Taylor.
Line 870 ⟶ 871:
** She also tends to use diminutive forms of first names, particularly when she's dealing with people younger than herself.
** She's also gone to significant lengths in choosing appropriate custom ringtones for all her incoming cellphone contacts, which could ''themselves'' be considered a form of nickname.
* [[Ninja]]: In the Teraverse, the ninja consist of a loose group of clans that provide specialized shadow war agents for Japan in the place of a government-run set of [[Spy School|academies]] as most other major powers have. They function as spies primarily, and most of the rest of the world (including those same elite intelligence academy graduates) believes that that the modern day continued existence of''"Ninja"'' is a creation of comic books and the movies. Named clans include: the Osaki Clan based in Salt Lake City (having Rinkin Mueller and Cate Baltimore as genin) and thought by the other clans to have been completely destroyed; the Phoenix Arizona off-shoot of the Imura Clan
* [[No Conservation of Energy]]: A consequence of anyone or anything that taps Bendix Space for power, because doing so is essentially stealing energy from one universe for use in another.
** [[Averted Trope|Averted]], at least partially, for those characters like Terawatt and Sister Marie whose powers impose a sometimes drastically increased caloric intake on them. (The "partially" comes from it being unclear whether they are actually taking in as many calories as their powers expend; in many cases, there appears to be a rather significant shortfall which has to be made up from ''somewhere''.)
