* [[Alien Invasion]]
* [[All of the Other Reindeer]] Wandering Eye
Line 26 ⟶ 27:
* [[Civvie Spandex]]
* [[Color Character]] Red Rover, Crimson Phantom Vengeance
* [[Combo
* [[Dark Age of Supernames]] Crimson Phantom Vengeance (CPV for short). Night Harpy, as well.
* [[Day in The Limelight]] Webstrips and subsequent minis have focused on minor characters.
* [[Delicious Fruit Pies]] An ad in the trade paperback shows Four-Teen stopping Speeding Skull with Hostris Fruit Pies.
* [[Dumb Muscle]] - The Lifter ("[[Space Mutiny|If I don't lift,]] [[
** Human Shield, arguably; while he doesn't show elements of this in the series, his contest bio notes that he only recently overcame his struggle with illiteracy.
* [[Drop the Hammer]] (Lilly Hammer's indestructible hammer. She's had it since she was a little girl.)
Line 43 ⟶ 44:
* [[Humongous Mecha]] Strong-Bot is a pretty big robot, but he disguised himself as a larger, more marketable robot to seem more viable for the team.
* [[I Believe I Can Fly]]
* [[I'm Not a Doctor But I Play One
* [[Intercontinuity Crossover]]: Wildguard is an established part of Image's larger universe, and it's not uncommon for characters from it to show up in other books.
* [[Jerkass]] - Toughlon is generally considered one by fans and teammates, but he's just eager. The Ultra Super Mega Five, on the other hand, are the real deal.
Line 59 ⟶ 60:
* [[Petting Zoo People]] - Kit-en, Stickerburr, Scattermane, and Dorsal Head.
* [[Popularity Power]] Freezerburn was originally going to die in #4, until the polls showed him to be one of the most popular characters.
* [[Playing
* [[The Pollyanna]] - Little Miss Sunshine
* [[Proud Warrior Race Guy]] - Scattermane, a superfast ambassador from a tribe of lion-men whose natural feline preference for privacy hurts his chances pretty harshly.
Line 65 ⟶ 66:
* [[Punny Name]] Just about everywhere
* [[Reality Show Tropes]]
* [[Ridiculously
* [[Rubber Man]] - Snapback and Longfellow.
* [[She
* [[Shout
* [[Sizeshifter]] - Blaction Figure and Jack Giant.
* [[Stalker
* [[Stock Super Powers]]
* [[Superhero]]
* [[Super
** In a more general sense, there were at least two heroes representing every power set in the tryouts; Running Girl, Flatfoot, and Scattermane were all speedsters, for instance; Super Temp and Strong-Bot were both Flying Bricks, Longfellow and Snapback were both Rubber Men; Toughlon, the Lifter, the Mover, Crag Langley, Barbrazon, the Romancer, and American Icon (to name but a few) are all just really strong...
* [[Tastes Like Diabetes]] - Little Miss Sunshine
Line 79 ⟶ 80:
* [[Useless Superpowers]] Adhesor has sticky skin. It doesn't take long to backfire. Toughlon is super strong and durable, but he's also completely non-stick (like, you know, teflon). Little Miss Sunshine can emit beams of light that, while very bright, are only harmful to vampires.
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: Mr. Mold's power.
* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?]]? - Dorsal Head specifically refers to this when discussing why he wasn't ultimately chosen for the team; He feels that as an aquatic hero, it's easy to be pegged as "only useful in a 'water' situation."
* [[The Woobie]] - Strong-Bot. You get the feeling that things are never going to get better for him.
* [[Yandere]] - Wannabe, all the way. She's obsessed with becoming a famous heroine and won't let anything get in the way of it.
