* EngineeredHeroics: Zig-zagged. When telling the truth of the CDC to a friend, Robert Kennedy stresses that every time the team saved people from a natural disaster or stopped some low-level crime, it was for real. However, every "alien invasion" or "super-villain attack" was all staged to show a minimum of property damage and no civilian deaths.
** When they have to fight a rogue member, the CDC is sloppy with their handlers noting they're so used to pre-planned fights that they don't know how to handle a real battle.

* CaptainPatriotic: The Civil Defense Force is an assembly of heroes representing the faces and values of America. They are also a moderate visual case, since none of them wear the red-blue-white colours or the star-and-stripes in a very blatant manner.

* CastOfExpies: The comic book is not shy about exploring the darker aspects of modern superhero mythology/ideology through the use of {{Expy|ies}} of American heroes:
** Pharos and Mighty Delta are expies of DC Comics ''Superman''.
** Hellbent is very similar to ComicBook/TheJoker. He is a nihilistic mass murder who manipulates the CDC into turning on each so that the government is forced to launch nukes at them. Which he then reveals to have been sabotaged so that they target several major cities instead.
** Southern Cross is a racist, stupider and villainous version of the ComicBook/HumanTorch.
