* FakingTheDead: [[spoiler: Charge has Shadow shoot him so he can then pretend to die in order to catch Rickshaw unawares]]

* HeroicSacrifice: The "Bonus Round" is supposed to trigger one for each of the [[spoiler: 3]] remaining heroes, with Rickshaw saying he'll let an innocent go free for each one of them who shoots themselves in the head. [[spoiler: Charge shoots the innocents instead]]

* {{Invisibility}}: Shadow's power before it was taken away. Early on she forgets she no longer has it, allowing Manpower to knock her aside when she tries to sneak attack him
* KillerGameMaster: [[spoiler: Rickshaw never wanted the heroes to win. It was all an excuse to kill them all.]]

* NoodleIncident: we get almost no backstory for the heroes or Rickshaw, aside from some brief black-and-white flashbacks. Apparently something fell out of the sky and gave the heroes [[spoiler: except Charge]] superpowers, but we aren't told anything more definite than that

** Later, [[spoiler:Charge]] even makes a plan that involves being shot in the side to fake an actual killing wound. That takes the starch out of [[spoiler:him]].
* PragmaticHero: Charge all the way, willing to sacrifice innocents [[spoiler: and kill teammates]] in order to get a better chance at taking out Rickshaw. Not that it doesn't wear on him, though.
* SuicidalSadisticChoice: The supervillain Rickshaw is putting four superheroes through a DeathCourse with captured citizens as leverage. One of these stages involves trying to force the heroes to kill themselves in exchange for Rickshaw releasing several hostages, but one of the heroes correctly figures out that their captor is lying and will kill them anyway, so he removes the choice by [[ShootTheDog killing the hostage himself]].
* SuperSpeed: Cutthroat's power, before it was taken away
* SuperStrength: Charge's power [[spoiler: subverted in that he just trains a lot in order to be strong]]
* WhatIsThisFeeling: The Wall has never felt pain before. [[spoiler: That's why his death is all the more heartbreaking.]]

* WrongGenreSavvy: [[spoiler: Most of the heroes seem to be basing their thinking of how to act as superheroes on cartoons from their childhood, namely that they should always be able to achieve total victory and leave no-one behind because of their powers. Charge, having never had any powers and needing to [[CombatPragmatist get smart in order to keep up with the others]], is more conscious of his limitations and can face the fact that the bad guy's cheating. He holds up to the horrible tests they have to face and the deaths of the others a lot better than anyone else.]]

** Charge is one [[spoiler:for Franchise/{{Batman}}]].

** Rickshaw is basically Creator/MarvelComics supervillain [[Characters/XMenRoguesGalleryAToL Arcade]].

* NighInvulnerability: The Wall's power before it was taken away. This means that when he ''is'' injured, he doesn't understand the pain he's feeling

** Rickshaw is basically Creator/MarvelComics supervillain Arcade.
** Charge is one. [[spoiler: For Batman.]]

* BowtiesAreCool: Sported by Rickshaw. In fact his entire outift resembles the [[Series/DoctorWho Eleventh Doctor]].

* BigBad: Rickshaw masterminds the while twisted game.
