Line 33:
** Edward Lytener, who even when making declarations of absolute hatred and murderous intent is always so briskly, cheerfully polite. This continues after he becomes Luminus.
** Metallo is often friendly and grinning, but unlike most examples of the trope he is usually assuming the pleasant persona to mock and insult his foes.
* [[A God Am I]]: Darkseid has something of an ego. A [[Physical God|completely justified]] ego.
* [[The Alcatraz]]: Stryker's Island. There there were only three known escapes from the island, the first involved a missile strike, the second involved an attack by [[Psycho Electro|Livewire]] and the third was part of a plan to ''blot out the sun''.
* [[All Amazons Want Hercules]]: Maxima will only mate with a man who can equal her in combat.
* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: Lana Lang explains to Lex that she ''likes'' dangerous men, [[Subverted Trope|except it turns out she only likes dangerous men because she could never snag nice guy Clark Kent]].
* [[All the Myriad Ways]]: Brave New Metropolis
* [[Amazon Admirer]]: In the crossover with ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]'', this is why Bruce Wayne falls for Lois Lane. He sees that she's not afraid to speak her mind or try to rescue innocents. As he tells a suspicious Clark Kent, Lois deserves someone that knows the person she is. Lois is also no pushover; as she tells a would-be assailant, "Daddy was a black belt."
* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: Lex Luthor. Fan speculation often mistook him for a light-skinned African-American, but [[Word of God]] says he is Greek and his appearance was based on [[wikipedia:Telly Savalas|Telly Savalas]], a Greek-American actor. He was given a lighter skin tone in ''[[Justice League]]'', probably to rectify confusion like this. Clark Kent/Superman had the same skin tone, which the creators refer to as a "reddish" tone in DVD audio commentary, but no fan ever confuses his intended color.
* [[Amnesiac Dissonance]]: When Metallo surfaces after being lost at sea in his premier episode he has forgotten who and what he is. He is christened "Steelman" by the pair of children who find him and is (briefly) a hero, rescuing a truck driver from a flaming wreck. However, he recovers his memory at the end of the day and resumes his vendetta against Superman.
* [[Amusing Alien]]: Mr. Mxyzptlk.
Line 213:
** In "The Way of All Flesh," Metallo tells Lois about how he has been thinking about her a lot, [[A Date with Rosie Palms|especially in prison]].
* [[The Glasses Come Off]]
* [[A God Am I]]: Darkseid has something of an ego. A [[Physical God|completely justified]] ego.
* [[Gone Horribly Wrong]]: The origin of maybe a quarter of Superman's enemies.
* [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]]: "Frag!"
