Hyperion and Blur pretty much instantly become best buds based solely on the fact that they can relate to each other, and are grateful to finally have someone else who can really understand them. Amphibian finally finding Doc Spectrum, being able to communicate with another human being and not be seen instantly as a monster is a heartbreaking revelation for her. Racism aside, this is Nighthawk's main issue; he's just a BadassNormal among some of the most powerful superhumans in any comics continuity. What's driven him to become Nighthawk has separated him from the rest of humanity, but with no powers of his own, he still doesn't fit in among the supers. . . he '''really is''' alone.

** Zarda spends the first two issues she's introduced completely naked. The first time we see her, she a thousand-year dessicated shambling corpse.
** Depending on your feelings about [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe blue-skinned]] FishPeople, Amphibian may or may not be this.
* Fanservice:
** Once Zarda gets her youth back (implied to be by sucking it out of a man she's just killed), she spends the rest of the issue, and all the next one, stark naked.
** If Amphibian is not the above trope, then she's this one.
** And there's the copious amounts of ClothingDamage suffered by Hyperion, Doc Spectrum, and The Blur.

* ClothingDamage: Mark and Joe, in particular, are far, ''far'' more durable than any material the best scientists on Earth can cook up to clothe them in. Mark can shred his costumes just by flying at absolute top speed. The Blur likewise suffers this thanks to friction from his SuperSpeed, until his corporate sponsors give him a suit that can stand up to it.

* FirstTimeFeeling: Hyperion feels pain for the first time while fighting Doc Spectrum. Hyperion, whose senses and biology render him immune or unable to be stimulated by almost anything on Earth, appears thrilled by this and immediately demands that Spectrum do it again. Spectrum is [[OhCrap understandably weirded out]] by this and promptly runs away from the fight.

* UncannyValley: People who interact with Mark are always unconsciously weirded out by him; even though he looks perfectly human, there’s just something ''off'' about him.

When he wants to go to school with regular kids, the government sets up a special school using their own relatives, since they still feel the need to absolutely control Mark's environment. It's left ambiguous if they were genuinely picking up something "not quite right" about Mark or if they were all scared because they'd all been warned to keep their distance because he's dangerous. The Blur and Hyperion get on very well pretty much from the first moment they meet, and Nighthawk needed no other reason than skin color to dislike Hyperion on sight, but reactions to him run the gammut from near-worship to utter hatred, which may or may not be just a reaction to his limitless power.
