* FridgeHorror: It's all but stated that aliens landing on Earth is a lot more common than what the general public would think, and that the government considers them even more dangerous than monsters. The narrative heavily implies that any and all aliens that land on Earth are taken by the government for potentially lethal experimentation. Megamind, Minion, and the then-unnamed Metro Man are spared this fate, as none of the government officials [[EveryoneHasStandards want to hurt a baby]]. Still, it's hard not to wonder how many (potentially evil, potentially benevolent) aliens have been killed by the government.

!!Tropes found in this fic include:
* BenevolentMonsters: The monsters and aliens being held in the government base are all fairly good beings, only being imprisoned because of what they are.
* FamilyOfChoice: The monsters and aliens are referred to as being very close, to the point that they consider themselves family.
* InSpiteOfANail: Despite Megamind and Minion not growing up in Metro City (or, its prison), Megamind still meets (and falls in love with) Roxanne Ritchie.
* LastOfHisKind: Megamind and Minion are the last people of their world, having barely escaped the planet's destruction. This is a bit of a sensitive topic for Megamind, as he doesn't know who his birth parents were, what his species is called or even the name of the planet.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Mildly subverted. At first, the monsters are still treated badly by the humans of Modesto despite defeating the alien robot. However, thanks to [[spoiler: Roxanne Ritchie's efforts]], the people start to warm up to them a little, finally seeing them as heroes by the end of the fic.
* TooDumbToLive: B.O.B. qualifies, as he quite literally has no brain and is the dumbest member of the group.
