* DreamsOfFlying: Though he can fly, he occasionally has flight dreams because it is the one thing he loves doing the most. Due to ChronicHeroSyndrome, he's so busy, he can't find time to fly just for enjoyment.
%%Superman expires go under SupermanSubstitute* {{Expy}}: Shares a lot of commonalities with ComicBook/{{Superman}}, and quite a few differences too.
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Samaritan is a time-traveler who averted the ''Challenger'' disaster, but rewrote his history so that he has no place in the future.

* AntiHeroSubstitute: Zachary's two bad-future possible sons are perfect examples of this trope -- one is a Sabertooth expy, the other is a cyborg killer with a spring-loaded head, and both are absolutely convinced that they are entitled to kill anyone they want because they are the good guys. Zachary moves heaven and earth to make sure they never come into existence.

* DisappearedDad: Jack Johnson, the first Jack-In-The-Box, as his family didn't know he was a superhero who died in battle. No one made the connection until Zachary stumbled across his fathers gear, and even then, no one knew what actually happened to him until Mr. Drama's daughter got involved years later. Zachary went out of his way to NOT end up as this, retiring shortly after Ike's birth.

* AttentionWhore: He is easily Astro City's pre-eminent example of this, glorifing his most inane accomplisments to everyone, even himself. An alien spying on him is flummoxed when he sees Crackerjack congragulating himself for a win that was purely by luck.

* NeverMyFault: Any time someone points out the sloppiness of his crime-fighting style, Crackerjack's quick to brush them off. And then there's the moment under IResembleThatRemark.
