* [[Wonder Twin Powers]]
 
{{tropelist|Meanwhile, at the Hall of Troping...}}
* [[Absent-Minded Professor]]: Maximus Mole in the 1973-74 episode "The Mysterious Moles".
* [[Adaptational Weakling]]:
** [[Aquaman]]. His super strength and endurance, needed to withstand the crushing depths of the ocean, is often forgotten about by the writers (and the show's low level of violence meant it was less useful than one would expect even if they did) while his swimming is less than useful in a show where most action takes place on land. As a result his primary power in the show is his ability to talk to fish, which primarily matters [[This Looks Like a Job For Aquaman|when the writers design a plot around it]]. This version seen as having [[Ink Stain Adaptation|ruined the character's popular perception for '''two generations''']] until ''[[Batman: The Brave And The Bold]]'' and the [[Sleeper Hit]] movie became the primary version in popular consciousness.
** Many of the Legion of Doom qualify as well by virtue of the whole organization being rather ineffectual and incompetent. One can forget Sinestro is capable of slaughtering multiple Green Lanterns, or that Scarecrow forces people to experience their worst nightmares.
* [[Aliens Speaking English]]: Occurs in four 1973-74 season episodes.
* [[All There in the Manual]]: The Tv show never explained ''why'' Marvin and Wendy were there. The comics do, however: {{spoiler|Wendy's uncle was a policeman who trained and helped young [[Batman|Bruce Wayne]], and Marvin's mother was the woman whose name [[Wonder Woman]] took her civilian name from (Diana Prince).}}
Line 123 ⟶ 126:
* [[Road Sign Reversal]]: 1973-74 episode "The Fantastic Frerps". King Plasto's diversion trick.
* [[Security Cling]]: Wonder Dog jumps into Marvin's arms in the 1973-74 episodes "The Planet Splitter", "The Baffles Puzzle" and "The Power Pirate".
* [[Shout-Out/Animation|Shout Out]]: The 1973-74 episode "Dr. Pelagian's War".
* [[Shrink Ray]]: 1973-74 episode "Gulliver's Gigantic Goof''. The villain Dr. Hiram Gulliver uses one on the Superfriends.
* [[Significant Anagram]]: King Plasto/Roy La Post in the 1973-74 episode "The Fantastic FRERPS".
