Line 10:
* [[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]]
** 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]]
* [[The Cast Showoff]]: Christopher Lee said in his autobiography that the main reason he did the film was that he'd never previously had an opportunity to show his musical abilities on-screen. "Name Your Poison" (the song linked above) even gives him lines in German and Italian to show off his command of multiple languages.
* [[Cluster F
* [[Cold War]]: Certain high ranking officials automatically blame Russia for Mr Midnight's actions.
* [[Deconstruction]]: of superheroes.
* [[Forgot the Call]]: With the help of an ungodly amount of strong liquor.
* [[Hey
* [[Hurricane of Puns]]: "Name Your Poison", again. A veritable bar(rage) of cocktail puns.
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: What does Captain Invincible say after surviving a snake pit, alligator pit and even a giant [[Visual Pun|peach pit]]? "Well, that was really the pits!"
Line 32:
* [[Underwear of Power]]: He's prosecuted for them.
* [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]]: See [[Stuff Blowing Up]] above.
* [[Villain Song]] / [["The Villain Sucks" Song]]: "Evil Midnight" manages to be both of these tropes at once.
* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: Watching this, one has to wonder how many recovering alcoholics are covered by this trope.
* [[The X of Y]]
