* AssholeVictim: Plutona. She has every right to be mad, but it was clear the kids were asking for help for their friend and she never gave them time to explain what actually happened and that it was Teddy who did most of the damage. She then flies off, telling them to never bring up what happened to anyone and to go home. Even Teddy is stunned that she just left before he succumbs to his wounds.

* [[spoiler:NotQuiteDead]]: [[spoiler:It turns out that Plutona was stunned in the supervillain fight, not actually killed. When she finally wakes up, the kids are all shocked and she's beyond pissed to find out that they simply left her in the forest for days and apparently cut open her fingers.]]

* MissingChild: Teddy's parents know that their son felt sick for a couple days, then went back to school, then disappeared. They will absolutely blame themselves for not knowing more about his feelings in the days before his disappearance. In all likelihood they will never be sure whether he's alive or dead for the rest of their lives.

* BeneathTheMask: Ray's public face is a jerk but it's clearly to defend himself against criticisms of his terrible family situation. Given the opportunity to hang out with Teddy capespotting or text with Mie, he shows that he really wants friends.

** Ray's plan on finding Plutona is to take photos and sell them to the media.
* RegularCaller: The Commissioner has a direct line to Plutona that he uses whenever the city needs help.


Added DiffLines:

* SecretIdentity: Plutona has one, complete with loved ones and a day job.
* SourOutsideSadInside: Ray acts like a jerk because he's insecure about his home situation. Given the opportunity to hang out with people he trusts, he's ok.


Added DiffLines:

* WhenYouComingHomeDad: Plutona gets home from her day job just in time for the Commissioner to call her back out. Her daughter begs her for more time, but the city needs its superheroes.
