Line 9:
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: Of quite a number of superhero tropes.
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: Supporting Communism, Impersonating a military officer and Showing your underpants.
* [[The Alcoholic]]: After the government and public of America turn against him, the Captain spends years [[Drowning His Sorrows]] in the Australian Outback.
** Mr. Midnight even gets a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8W2fkhfFPc song] to showcase Captain Invincible's weakness for alcohol, reducing him to tears in the process.
* [[Better Than It Sounds]]
Line 22:
* [[Kick the Dog]]: Mister Midnight provides a wonderfully pure example, as after reducing the Captain to a helpless wretch by tempting him with a truly ''beautiful'' bar, he hands him...a can of Sterno.
* [[Larynx Dissonance]]: Christopher Lee briefly appears as a woman as part of a hallucination. [[Crowning Moment of Funny|His voice doesn't change.]]
* [[Local Reference]]: Despite casting American and British actors as the iconic hero and villain characters, this is an Australian film, hence Captain Invincible hiding out in the Outback. Lead actress Kate Fitzpatrick, playing detective Patty Patria, was known for playing a police constable in the 1970s Australian series ''Boney''. Hugely popular comedian and talk show host Graham Kennedy was cast in a cameo role as the Prime Minister of Australia. Australian cinema icon Bill Hunter and television comedy star Max Cullen also appear in minor roles.
* [[Mental Affair]]: the [[My Brain Is Big|big-headed]] aliens who give the Captain his powers during his conception seem to get off on the process, though his parents don't seem to even notice they're there.
* [[The Nudifier]]: Captain Invincible isn't as skilled with his magnetic powers anymore. Metal fasteners are a bad idea.
* [[Old Superhero]]
