----
* [[Badass]]
* {{spoiler|[[Clear My Name]]}}: What a good deal of the story revolves around.
* [[Clothing Damage]]: A given with all of the impromptu 'wolfing out.'
* [[Cursed Withwith Awesome]]: Zechariah lampshades it in #2. Gary has a powerful and agile wolf form and a [[Healing Factor]] when he changes forms. [[Sarcasm Mode|Poor him]]. All it costs is going into a blood rage once a month which he quickly deals with.
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]
* [[Eyes of Gold]]: Except for when he's in moon rage when they [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|turn red.]]
* [[Fake Defector]]
* [[Fully -Embraced Fiend]]
* [[Good Parents]]
* [[Happily Married]]
* [[Hard Work Hardly Works]]: Heavily Averted. We learn from Dunford that Gary essentially built his business from the ground up.
* [[Healing Factor]]: Leading to many a [[Good Thing You Can Heal]] moment.
* [[Hero Withwith Bad Publicity]]
* [[Hot Dad]]: In both forms. [[Furry Fandom|Maybe]].
* [[Hurting Hero]]
Line 31 ⟶ 30:
* [[Tears of Remorse]]
* [[Tragic Hero]]: Gary's flaw, which he irons out over the course of the series, is that he is ''too'' driven to help people. What ruined him from the get-go was that he was so ecstatic about being able to help people as a super hero that he neglected his family {{spoiler|and failed to realize how untrustworthy Zechariah was despite the constant warnings of his loved ones.}} His desire to do good was ultimately his downfall. That said his flaw has helped him out a couple of times and earned him the loyalty of both Invincible and Cecil.

=== Zechariah ===
[[File:Zech_7034.gif|frame]]
Zechariah is a [[Really 700 Years Old|very old]] and knowledgeable vampire who finds Gary and mentors him in his new life as a werewolf. He is secretive, occasionally shifty, and Gary's friends and family distrust him immediately. {{spoiler|After a string of lies and half-truths from Zechariah push he and Gary apart Zech accidentally(?) kills Gary's wife leading to a bloody animosity between the two.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Ambition Is Evil]]}}: After becoming a vampire and seeing the sad state of the vampire community he resolves to become a hero and make vampires into a powerful force to be reckoned with. Fast forward and now Zech is a ruthless and power hungry [[Manipulative Bastard]].
* {{spoiler|[[Arch Enemy]]}}: To Gary.
Line 42 ⟶ 40:
* [[Consummate Liar]]: Just about everything he tells Gary in the beginning is a lie or a [[Half Truth]]
* {{spoiler|[[Even Evil Has Loved Ones]]}}: An interesting example because his son is mortal.
* {{spoiler|[[Evil Costume Switch]]}}: See [[Hell -Bent for Leather]] below.
* {{spoiler|[[Evil Plan]]}}
* [[Half Truth]]: Chock full of 'em.
* [[Hell -Bent for Leather]]
* [[Karma Houdini]]
* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]
* {{spoiler|[[Kingpin in His Gym]]}}: With {{spoiler|Chloe}} and their [[Katanas Are Just Better|swords]]
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]
* [[The Obi -Wan]]
* [[Really 700 Years Old]]: Lampshaded. Zech asks Gary how old he thinks he is and Gary guesses "I don't know...what, a thousand?". Zech then bemoans how the mystique of vampires has vanished due to representations in the media.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]
* {{spoiler|[[Start of Darkness]] / [[Backstory]]}}
* [[The Undead]]
* {{spoiler|[[Visionary Villain]]}}
* [[Would Hurt a Child]]: He once killed and sucked the blood of a werewolf child.
