Removed an entry that was referring to events of a later book, and tried to clarify a cut-off phrase.

* ItsPersonal: A key part of the super community is ''keeping'' things from getting personal. If you break the rules, expect to get "accidentally" killed by the other side's more dangerous members. This is one of the reasons that Penny doesn't have to worry too much about her secret identity as long as she takes some basic precautions. Sure, any of the AwesomenessByAnalysis supers (including her own mother) could figure out who she is in about an hour, but the other supervillains would get mad. Spider is the only one who actively tries to discover their identities, much less something as blatant as blackmail them with that information.

* MetaphorIsMyMiddleName: The preview for the fourth book reveals that this is literal truth. [[spoiler:Penelope's middle name actually is Justice, which she lampshades]]. Crosses over into EmbarrassingMiddleName, of course.
* NoPlansNoPrototypesNoBackup: A fair amount of the mad science in the setting is only partially understood by its inventors. Brian Akk is unusual in his ability to study and eventually explain and replicate examples of super science. Penny, on the other hand, generally has no idea how her inventions work.

* SnowballingThreat: Anyone with a MadScience power can use the power to make valuable devices to sell for large sums to get more resources to make more devices... many of which are either better weapons or armor to become even stronger in a fight. Only Penny is shown doing this, however. She starts with a recycling machine and some raw materials. She builds some basic armor and an air cannon. By the time the first book is over, she built a drone capable of nullifying all guns in a large radius, a chemical tank that can take down another super with an absurd HealingFactor, a set of candy

* TimeBomb: Subverted. Penny sets a time bomb up in the school yard with a hundred second countdown as a distraction, but tells Claire and Ray that nothing will actually happen when the timer reaches zero.

* TimeBomb: Subverted. Penny sets a time bomb up in the school yard with a hundred second countdown as a distraction, but tells Claire and Ray that nothing will actually happen when the timer reaches zero. The device itself is still a bomb, which will cause massive destruction if destroyed, but she did not build a triggering mechanism into it.

** After The Inscrutable Machine team become supervillains by trashing a science fair, another super "Sharky" makes a forum post declaring his intention to go on a rampage. In an effort to make amends for losing their temper, The Inscrutable Machine promptly stops him.
** In order to not be in violation of a community truce, Spider has her representative at the superhero conference announce on Saturday that she has a large operation planned for Monday. She also has [[DownplayedTrope a bunch of diversions planned]] to distract from her actual plan.

Fixing indentation: figured out how it was messing up. Misremembered how many -'s to use for quotes.

Null edit: I'm not sure how there's extra whitespace after the quote in the example for Blood Knight, but for some reason there is. If someone knows how to fix that... I'd love to know how.
