Line 37:
Like Alex, she has no real powers, but her [[Time Travel|Time Travelling]] parents left her a very special inheritance: A genetically engineered, [[Empathic Weapon|psychic]] dinosaur named Old Lace, who follows her every command. Unlike the rest of the group, Gertrude and Nico had been close friends for years and spent time together beyond the once-a-year Pride meetings, and she often serves as a voice of reason and (relative) maturity for the group. Forward-thinking even as a child, Nico recounts that when they were little kids Gert once took all of Nico's pony dolls and hid them in the woods, explaining that they deserved to be free.
{{spoiler|Near the conclusion of the first story-arc she begins to develop romantic feelings for Chase, who reciprocates, and they become a couple for the remainder of their time together. She is self-conscious about her appearance, being shorter than average and slightly over-weight, but how this is portrayed [[Depending
The [http://smallfacescasting.com/ casting call] for [[The Film of the Book|the movie]] specifies: "Chubby oddball, smart and verbal. Female, must play 16-18"
Line 46:
* [[Future Badass]]: In one timeline, she grew up to lead the Avengers, but...
* [[Future Me Scares Me|Future Me Bores Me]]: She still didn't think too much of that future.
* [[Hollywood Pudgy]] [[Depending
** Even moreso with Jo Chen's take on her. [http://images.wikia.com/marveldatabase/images/7/78/Runaways_Vol_2_4_Textless.jpg It doesn't really] [http://images.wikia.com/marveldatabase/images/0/0f/Runaways_Vol_1_14_Textless.jpg look like] [http://images.wikia.com/marveldatabase/images/1/17/Runaways_Vol_1_4_Textless.jpg she tried]. (The art is still beautiful, however).
* [[Jewish and Nerdy]]
* [[Kuudere]]
* [[The Kid
* [[The Lancer]]
* [[The Snark Knight]]
Line 77:
* [[Lipstick Lesbian]]
* [[The Chick]]
* [[The Heart]] - Chase definitely thinks of her in this role, pointing out how everyone was that much worse to each other when she was temporarily [[Put
* [[Tomato in
----
Line 95:
* [[The Big Guy]] - Shares the role with Molly - arguably develops shades of [[The Lancer]] later on.
* [[Book Dumb]]: Chase gets straight C's and has the lowest general knowledge of the group, but is quite street smart, and more than capable of cobbling together simple, yet effective plans, under pressure.
* {{spoiler|[[How Dare You Die
* [[Hidden Depths]]
* [[Jerk Jock]]
* [[Jerk
* {{spoiler|[[The Kid
* [[Knife Nut]]: Chase is very fond of his switchblade.
* [[Multiple Choice Past]] - {{spoiler|He made up stories to justify the way his parents treated him and ended up believing some of them. Even ''he's'' not quite sure which bits are real anymore.}}
* [[The One Guy]] - Very briefly, in between {{spoiler|Alex's death}} and Victor's introduction.
* [[Opposites Attract]]: With Gert
* [[Playing
* [[The Slacker]]
Line 170:
An [[Ordinary High School Student]] who the team basically kidnaps after a visitor from the future ({{spoiler|Gert}}) tells them that he will grow up to become a [[Big Bad]] called Victorius, who will murder all of the superheroes in the world. {{spoiler|It turns out that Victor is actually a [[Ridiculously Human Robot|cyborg]] created by the evil robot Ultron.}} He joins the team to learn about himself and (hopefully) prevent himself from becoming what everybody fears.
* [[Anime Hair]]: [[Depending
* [[Ascended Fanboy]]
* [[Brain Bleach]] - {{spoiler|He can delete certain memories if they [[Squick]] him out enough. How many of us wish we could do the same?}}
Line 205:
* [[Gender Bender]]
* [[Green-Skinned Space Babe]] - Starting in volume 3 - before then, Xavin defaulted to male when in Skrull form.
* [[Jerk
* [[Fantastic Racism]] - Xavin...doesn't exactly think of machines as equals. The way she treats Victor ranges from unthinkingly calling him the 'house android' to being an outright [[Jerkass]] (particularly in the ''Civil War'' crossover). However, in later issues they seem to be getting along decently enough. In ''Secret Invasion'', Xavin even begs Victor to protect the others and run away before the other Skrulls can get them.
** Xavin is also a target of this trope from Majesdaneans after Skrulls destroy their homeworld. One calls his relationship with Karolina "perverted."
* [[In Love
* [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|Proud Warrior Race]]..it depends. OTOH, s/he has no illusions about what full-scale war is like.
* [[Shapeshifting]]
Line 216:
** [[Flight]]
** [[Invisibility]]
** [[Playing
** [[Rubber Man|Rubber]]...again, it depends
** [[Super Strength]]
Line 251:
* [[Kill All Humans]]: Their overall plan.
* [[Knight Templar Parent|Knight Templar Parents]]
* [[Villain
* [[West Coast Team]]: A big part of the premise is that they are set up in an area where there is no real superhero presence, because as far as anyone knows, there are no supervillains set up there- the Pride are much better at keeping their activities secret than anyone else in the Marvel Universe.
Line 297:
* [[The Masochism Tango]]: Dale and Stacey argue constantly, and often appear to be at one another's throats, but they really do love one another.
* [[Time Travel]]
** [[Time Travel for Fun
* [[Steampunk]]: Their costumes and equipment seem inspired by this genre.
Line 355:
A pair of telepathic mutants who are doctors by profession. They had originally thought that Molly was not a mutant. They both have a sadistic side, once telepathically forcing a rival gang leader to watch as they butchered his crew. {{spoiler|They conspired with the Deans to murder the human members of the Pride, hoping to secure the six seats in the Gibborim's paradise for themselves and their kids.}}
* [[Cursed
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Towards humans (despite originally believing Molly to be one).
* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]
Line 405:
----
'''[[Cloak and Dagger (
A pair of superheroes who gained their powers after being forcibly given drugs. Like the main characters, they were once teenage runaways and avoid the [[Adults Are Useless]] theme that pervades the series. Cloak has a mystical [[Exactly What It Says
Later on, Cloak is accused of trying to kill his partner Dagger. {{spoiler|While being pursued by the Avengers, Cloak is hit on the head and regains his memory}}. He seeks out the Runaways and asks them to investigate the attack on Dagger, claiming that he was framed. Dagger's attacker turns out to have been {{spoiler|a [[Stalker
* [[Absolute Cleavage]]: Dagger
Line 496:
{{quote| ''"Men have fought over me for centuries...it's very dull."''}}
** [[Living Aphrodisiac]]
** [[Love Is in
** [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]
** [[Villainesses Want Heroes]]: She seems especially attracted to the Adjudicator.
