Line 7:
* Steve: Resident Cloudcuckoolander and wannabe superhero. Occasionally displays [[The Hero]] moments, but most of these are taking care of something that's his fault anyway. Wears a costume [later armour] that uses [[Applied Phlebotinum]] to give him superhuman attributes.
* Jerry: Steve's friend and owner of a [[Badass Longcoat]] that he wears in almost every appearance; he only owns the one coat, and cleans and maintains it religiously. Smarter and more sensible than Steve, and in charge of robot-related plot advancement. [[The Smart Guy]].
* Frank: Final member of the main [[Power Trio]], Frank possesses a pair of [[Good Angel, Bad Angel]] consciences, apparently has some form of acrobatic or martial arts skills, and switches to a new job every strip this is bought up. {{spoiler|Died in the final chapter.}}
* Jane: Steve's girlfriend {{spoiler|Later, his wife and mother of his children}}, whom he met on the internet and, uniquely, turned out to be just who she said she was. Some form of [[Gamer Girl]] and onetime user of a [[Clothes Make the Superman|Super Suit]].
* Lincoln: [[Ridiculously Human Robot]], who, due to a recent botched repair, constantly speaks as if she's a one-man [[Dada Comic]]. Possessed large breasts. Recently 'died'. {{spoiler|She got better.}}
Line 17:
Coga Suro provides examples of:
* [[Ambiguous Gender]]- Primarily Styx, an android that is meant to be explicitly androgynous.
* Animesque- Totally. See also [[Cross
* [[Art Evolution]]- The express purpose of the comic was that this happen.
* [[Badass Cape]]- Steve seems fond of having a cape when making himself a superhero identity.
Line 26:
* [[Clothes Make the Superman]]- The 'Super Suits' Steve makes fluctuate between this and [[Power Armour]]. The first is this trope played straight [A [[Retcon]] in Coga Suro 2 explains the exact ''Phlebotinum'' behind this], the second is [[Power Armour]], and the thrid looks to be a mix between the two.
* [[Cue the Flying Pigs]]- Played straight in an early strip.
* [[
* [[Final Battle]]- Chapter 15 of the first run.
* [[First Girl Wins]]: Yeah, {{spoiler|Steve and Jane end up married with kids.}} Who saw that coming?
Line 32:
{{quote| '''Steve''': I don't wanna be scarred and stubbly!}}
* [[Girl On Girl Is Hot]]- see also [[Author Appeal]].
* [[Good Angel, Bad Angel]]- Frank has a pair of these, though his Bad Angel has been known to wander off and influence others.
* [[Kid From the Future]]- {{spoiler|How we first meet Steve's son John.}}
* [[Mundane Fantastic]]- It's basically the real world, but with added robots [that it seems anyone can build?] and superheroes. And other odd stuff. So much that the 'mundane' is less visible every day.
Line 40:
* [[Ridiculously Human Robot]]
* [[Right Behind Me]]
* [[Science
* [[Shout Out]]- references to [[Neverwinter Nights]] from the outset, Warhammer, Marvel comics and Trigun.
* [[Sideways Smile]]- Styx, in particular, is fond of this, even having a grin so wide that the synthetic skin of its face cracks and splits in a later chapter.
