The Nubians have their tropes on the main Supes page, including tropes from the cartoon. I'm going to move their tropes over there.


* ArrangedMarriage: Vought engineered his MeetCute with Nubia and them becoming a couple for marketing-purposes. It's implied that it wasn't all fake in the beginning, but the cracks are really starting to show in the present.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: He alludes to some childhood trauma that no one will give him time to work through.
* {{Expy}}: Of ComicBook/BlackPanther as the (alleged) prince of an African country double-timing as a superhero.
* FakeNationality: In-universe. He pretends to be the prince of Nubia for his Supe-persona, but in reality he's from Bakersfield.
* GroinAttack: From his wife’s accidental thunderclap attack, much to his dismay.
* InLoveWithYourCarnage: Deconstructed. Him and Nubia ''only'' get along when they beat the shit out of others, but outside of that they're a terrible couple and can barely stand to be around each other.
* {{Jerkass}}: A violent and neglectful prick.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Puts on a stereotypical African accent when in public, but drops it the second he's in private. Nubia even comments on it during their first meeting.
* {{Sadist}}: It's implied that he gets turned on by brutally beating people, judging by how he has sex with Nubia after they nearly kill Groundhawk.

* ArrangedMarriage: The Vought equivalent. Her and Nubian Prince's MeetCute through their fight with Groundhawk was a set-up by Vought to make them more marketable as a Supe-couple. Granted there did seem to be a spark beyond that between them, but it's long since died.
* ElectricBlackGuy: Her main powers are shooting purple electricity.
* {{Expy}}: She's basically ComicBook/{{Storm|MarvelComics}}, if Storm was a {{Sadist}} who got sexually turned on by violence.
* InLoveWithYourCarnage: Deconstructed. Nubian Prince and her only really get along when they beat others to a bloody pulp. Outside of that they're constantly fighting.
* {{Jerkass}}: Just the same as her husband, violent and arrogant.
* {{Sadist}}: Like her husband, she seems to genuinely enjoy beating people bloody, to the point that it turns her on.
* ShockAndAwe: Has the power to throw lightning and summon thunderstorms.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Nubia in the comics was brought BackFromTheDead and little more than a braindead zombie, shuffling around the G-Men's mansion while begging people to put her out of her misery. Nubia in the series is alive and, apart from her failing marriage, seems to be doing well for herself.
* TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: Inverted. She was part of the G-Men in the comics, but in the series she seems to have worked alone before getting married to Nubian Prince.

* MuggleBornOfMages: It's never really brought up in the short, but despite both of her parents being powerful Supes, Maya herself doesn't show any sign of having powers.

* MuggleBornOfMages: It's never really brought up in the short, but despite both of her parents being powerful Supes, Maya herself doesn't show any sign of having powers. This is actually brought up in the main TV series. Stormfront states that Homelander is the only known instance of a supe producing powered offspring (likely because he was genetically engineered with Compound V, rather than just being injected with it after being born like other supes).
