'''Marc:''' Today I was drugged, battered and nearly killed.

{{tropelist}}
=== This webcomic contains examples of: ===
 
* [[Aliens in Cardiff]]: Superheroes in the Ruhr area!
* [[Art Shift]]: Although this is a photo-comic, if the background of a character is told, the strips are drawn.
* [[Badass Arm-Fold]]: The Evil Wittener [http://www.unionofheroes.com/comic/377-episode-7-page-14.html does this] when The Master finds out that {{spoiler|he is in fact the former hero named "The Man From The Booth"}}
* [[Blessed Withwith Suck]]: Lynn's super-power is to die in the place of other people (and then to come back to life herself). Sure, useful for rescuing people in lethal situations - but dying over and over again, and often quite violently, certainly hurts... (and it makes her a [[The Woobie|woobie]], too.)
* [[City of Adventure|Cities Of Adventure]] -- Plural, because the Ruhr area consists of more than just one city.
* [[Creator Provincialism]]: Author Arne Schulenberg lives in Dortmund, a major city of the Ruhr area. The use of this trope is certainly deliberate, considering that there aren't really ''that'' much comics set in the Ruhr area, not to mention comics about super-heroes...
Line 37:
* [[Punny Name]]: [[Bilingual Bonus|"Erzengel" is the German word for "archangel", but "Erz" can also mean "ore"]], alluding here to Marc's [[Elemental Powers|metal-related super-powers]].
* [[Tricksters]]: Claus Koboldssohn seems to be one. In chapter 6, he is even (briefly) {{spoiler|Lynn's [[Trickster Mentor]].}}
* [[Two Guys and Aa Girl]]: Jana, Marc and the Original-Erzengel. {{spoiler|In our world Jana is the ex-girlfriend of Marc. In the parallel world she still is the girlfriend of the Original-Erzengel.}}
* [[Write What You Know]]: The writer of Union of Heroes lives in the area where the stories take place and is a collector of superhero comic books.
* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: Almost all the evil guys: Manero, Ahres and The Wittener.
