* CorruptedCharacterCopy: Of Jonathan and Martha Kent. Whereas Ma and Pa primarily focused on raising Clark to be a good and kind person who thinks of others and making sure he had a good head on his shoulders, with the Superman persona being Clark's own chosen method of how he uses his powers to help and protect the little guy, the Hartigans (Bill especially) set out to raise Daniel to be a hero from the start, which only gave Daniel a major martyr complex and a belief in his own "special" status.

* {{Expy}}: The Hartigans are clearly ones to Jonathan and Martha Kent, being the loving and accepting adoptive parents of an extremely powerful alien child to whom they teach good moral values. Bill, however, is more of a CorruptedCharacterCopy of Jonathan, taking Jonathan's role in instilling Clark with the values that would turn him into a hero and showing what would happen if that role wasn't paired with actually ''being'' an understanding parent.

* TragicVillain: He had a very troubled childhood, and eventually snapped because of people's ingratitude. This is {{subverted|Trope}} as regardless of how much he struggled, it still doesn't excuse his crimes as his parents observed and told him.
* {{Tulpa}}: [[spoiler:His existence practically revolves his human form existing due to being based on the desires of a mentally ill woman who killed her child and fell into deep guilt and grief. This did not, of course, help his own psyche later.]]
