Line 41:
* [[Selective Obliviousness]]: Illumina and Maelstrom are lovers in their civilian IDs. Neither knows the other's superhero ID - despite Val dropping hint after hint to them (and outright telling Illumina). [http://sidekickgirl.comicgenesis.com/d/20081210.html Val eventually gets through.]
* [[Shower of Love]]: [http://sidekickgirl.comicgenesis.com/d/20110112.html With optional] [[Godiva Hair]].
* [[Super -Hero Origin]]: One of two deciding factors for whether you're a superhero or a sidekick. Val is a sidekick because she looks like a fighter instead of a porn star and her origin story amounts to "I was hit by a car as a child and realized I could survive anything and eventually heal from it", despite being competent, being a great fighter and having a power that's incredibly useful despite its [[Blessed With Suck]] elements.
* [[Super -Hero School]]: Essentially college. (Val went to the equivalent of a community college, as she was paying her own way.)
* [[Super Zeroes]]: Brains aren't required to look good in spandex. In fact, Haze's hero, Impact, is the only one we've heard about who's even competent.
** However, Illumina's first sidekick, Sparkle, was a girl who met the rather shallow requirements for being a hero but did so badly in [[Super -Hero School]] that she was demoted to sidekick. Given some of the people who made hero, that's quite an accomplishment.
* [[Taking the Bullet]]: The fate of Illumina's late sidekick Marina.
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Val and Illumina, for a certain interpretation of "girly".
Line 51:
** The stupidity gets better. He himself is left handed.
* [[Weird Trade Union]]: The Superhero Agency and its unnamed [[Evil Counterpart]].
* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?]]/[[Heart Is an Awesome Power]]: Illumina's only powers are hovering and creating light -- not even lasers or anything, just regular light. However -- as Val demonstrates when they switch bodies -- in the hands of someone competent, this allows her to fall from any height safely and act as a living flashbang grenade.
