** Manitou Raven may be dedicated to his work, but he's not such a good husband. His brand of magic is also pretty messy and entails the occasional animal sacrifice. [[spoiler: Despite this, he sacrifices himself to save the team, even the guy who slept with his wife.]]

* {{Cuckold}}: Manitou Raven's wife Dawn started an affair with Green Arrow because he was paying more attention to work and the trials of the "Stony Path" than her, and she grow closer to Green Arrow. Raven knew of the affair and was angered, of course, but was too consumed by his work to confront Dawn. Dawn eventually regretted the affair and betraying Raven, but before the couple could truly reconcile, Raven died while taking the brunt of a bomb blast, leaving Dawn devastated.

* AchillesInHisTent: Subverted with Major Disaster; [[spoiler:He suffers a breakdown after his alcoholism gets a teammate killed. When the call comes for him to return, he refuses in an attempt to stay away from the things that drove him to drink in the first place. Vera Black decides to respect this rather than risk pushing him into a relapse.]]



* ButterflyOfDoom: [[spoiler:Manchester Black tries to use Eve to alter history so that Superman was killed before his powers developed, but she claims that there is no way for her to make such a drastic change to the universe without tearing reality itself apart.]]
* CharlieBrownFromOuttaTown: In order to infiltrate an alien gang, Vera Lynn Black, the Flash, and the Mist adopt fake identities as "Miss Morphine", "Supersonic", and "The Nothing", respectively.



* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMama: Coldcast and his brother Chris are not the best sons one could hope for, but they both love their blind mother dearly.



* EyeScream: In the first issue, Menagerie takes a dart to the eye. Coldcast also blinded his own mother by accident when saving her from muggers.

to:

* EyeScream: In the first issue, Menagerie takes a dart to the eye. Coldcast also blinded his own mother by accident when saving her from muggers. That same incident also burned out one of his own eyes.



* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: Manchester Black was a heavy smoker. [[spoiler:Vera starts picking up the habit after becoming convinced that Ches is in her head.]]



* HandsOnApproach: Subverted when Manitou Raven insists on helping Dawn prepare a spell. She teases him that he doesn't need to make excuses to touch her; he is appalled that she thinks he would lie about his intentions.



* HolyHandgrenade: Manitou Raven's ax cannot pierce the skin of a good man. [[spoiler:It ''can'', however, pierce the skin of an adulterer, which is how he saves Green Arrow from falling to his death - he embeds the axe in Ollie's chest and uses it like a fishhook to haul him back up. After Manitou's death, Dawn gives the ax to Al-Sheikh, believing that his devout religious belief will enable him to wield it]].

* PretendPrejudice: Naif al-Sheikh complains repeatedly that he hates superheroes, women, and anyone else who tests his rather limited patience. The fact that his best friend Vera Black is a white, female, punk rocker ex-supervillain means such complaints end up falling rather flat however, especially since he eventually ended up getting himself arrested because he couldn't bring himself to harm her. He also makes sure that Dawn is fairly compensated for her work and that [[spoiler:she is taken care of after her husband dies during a mission.]]



* UnequalRites: During one story where the team goes up against Circe, Manitou Raven expresses disdain for Circe's magic, as her magic doesn't involve any sacrifice as his does.



* VitriolicBestBuds: For all the insults that Vera and Naif sling at each other, they usually have each other's backs.
