** Shar overhearing private conversations from two floors away, through closed doors. And commenting loudly.
* [[Secret Identity]]:
* [[Secret Identity]]: * After returning from her extradimensional adventure in ''[[The League of Extraordinary Women]]'', Alex designs a superhero identity for herself. The story is basically about what happens once she begins using it in public. The story also [[Deconstructed Trope|''deconstructs'' the trope]] by showing how difficult it is to maintain a comic-book-style secret identity even with a government agency and a genius hacker helping cover for her -- and even then at least two people ''still'' put together all the details available to the public and work out who she is.
*** In addition to Terawatt, Alex has several other identities, including Lt. Annie Farrell, Jack's quietly competent hacker/adjutant and a teenaged version of Annie Farrell.
** Shar chooses a hero identity -- "Pyre" -- and makes her own costume in imitation of Alex's.
** Hanna ends up wearing a mask and her hair differently when on operations to protect her privacy.
