Line 16:
* [[Adorkable]]: Clark's [[Clark Kenting|"disguise"]] could be considered this, though [[Your Mileage May Vary|YMMV.]]
* [[Alternate Continuity]]: Done to "freshen up" the character without any serious constraints.
* [[Anti -Hero Substitute]]: The Clark Kent in this story comes off as one of these for the mainstream Superman.
* [[Beware the Superman]]: The public displays shades of this towards the end.
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: [[Jimmy Olsen]] and [[Lois Lane]] manage to pull this off. Their courage and integrity in the face of Tyrell's attack are what convinces Clark that he wants to spend his life working at the Planet--since he could have easily become a wealthy athlete or scientist if he'd wanted to.
Line 53:
* [[Power Nullifier]]: Red sun radiation takes over for Kryptonite. Technically, the weakness exists in the mainstream continuity as well, but Kryptonite was always more convenient.
** Sort-of. Obviously it would be difficult for any of his enemies to utilize this weakness.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Leads right into a [[No -Holds -Barred Beatdown]].
* [[Ripped from the Headlines]]: The Daily Planet's depiction is heavily rooted in the current state of the newspaper industry. At the beginning, Perry White openly complains about the blogosphere ruining the integrity and quality of the news, and makes it clear that the paper may soon go out of business. In the end, getting exclusive coverage of Superman's battle with Tyrell is the one thing that saves the Planet from completely folding.
* [[Sequel Hook]]: Just ''who'' proposed the destruction of Krypton to Tyrell's people, and they did is never explained.
* [[Shout -Out]]: In addition to looking like [[David Bowie]], Tyrell may be a subtle one to ''[[Blade Runner]]''--he's named after the [[Mad Scientist]] from that film, he has white hair like Roy Batty, and the marks on his face match the pattern of Pris' makeup.
* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]: Clark delivers one of these to the villain out of sheer boredom with his speech.
* [[Super Intelligence]]: [[Superman]] has it in this version.
