* ShoutOut: According to WordOfGod,
WordOfGod, he's based off of ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}, with his scrappy attitude and spiked fists being a parallel to Wolverine's claws. His description is even a play on Wolverine's iconic phrase "I'm the best there is at what I do, but what I do isn't very nice."

* ShoutOut: According to WordOfGod,



* AmbiguousSpecies: It's unclear what ''type'' of mushroom plant he's based on. The biggest candidate is Scaredy-shroom, appearance (tall and lean with a mushroom cap that has a gap in it) and behavior-wise (Nightcap hides his face in his scarf when on low health, almost like Scaredy-shroom when zombies get too close to him), but he has a regular mouth like Fume-shroom, which throws it into question.
* ArtisticLicenseBiology: He's labeled as a Plant Hero, but just like his fellow fungi, mushrooms aren't plants.
* DarkIsNotEvil: He has a darker color scheme than the other characters, with mostly purple and black. However, he's a Plant Hero who fights for good.

Sad Clown involves insecurity and humor so I feel Stepford Smiler is more fitting in this case. I also added more things.


* SadClown: Downplayed; while a franchise like ''[=PvZ=]'' would quite obviously never let Flare hit enough of a low point to play the trope straight, the manhuas end up revealing her life isn't as peachy as you'd expect it to be underneath that smile and GenkiGirl attitude. Her home life was lonelier than most, she's the only hero to be portrayed as coming close to ''actually dying'' and being suitably stressed out from such an experience, she's been cheated out of valuable academic opportunities in school, and her relationship with Penelopea is strained beneath the surface due to both being a SlaveToPR.
