* AntiHero: The vast majority of "heroes" in the story aren't very heroic mentally. While everybody in the Hero League works to keep the world safe, they're pretty much a RagtagBunchOfMisfits who oftentimes fight more with each other than they do the villains, and a good deal of them fall more under PunchClockHero, only fighting because they get something out of it.

Members include [[MadScientist The Ph.D.]], [[spoiler:the former Chairman of the Hero League, alias Mr. Brainwashing]], and [[MonsterClown Jester]].

* AccidentalPervert: The story really likes having the males get into situations that makes them look like perverts. In the beginning it involved Braveman with the General, but once he figured out how to avoid that, the other male characters like the Boss and Kamen Soldier picked up the slack, and unlike his case where the General enjoyed it enough that she blushed every time, the other guys [[PervertRevengeMode got more standard responses from the less-enthusiastic ladies]].

* BigEater:
** The superheroine Impact has an utterly massive appetite, even being introduced eating numerous plates of dango, and she gets [[BerserkButton very angry if you mess with her food]]. Unfortunately, said appetite is so enormous that if she misses even a single meal, she gets so hungry she can barely function. It's to the point that, unlike the physical punishments for Marshmallow Head and Metal Prisoner, Mother Justice's punishment against Impact for failing to stop the villain infiltration is forbidding her from eating anything for a month, something that leaves her a sobbing and starving mess.
** Black Lion has his own supply of food at the RX base, used to fuel the massive energy and nutritional needs of his enhanced body. Touching it is an equally bad idea.

* CatFolk: Black Lion is a lion man while Mr X is a man cat.

* HartmanHips: GG has a pretty nice set of "childbearing hips", something the story likes to show off and the General likes to single out as one of her "strong points".



* HellIsThatNoise: The cockroach scuttling sound GG makes when running seriously freaks out Braveman ([[BlessedWithSuck and herself]]).



* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Why GG and Black Lion join RX:
** GG loves ninjas and hoped to become like one via the monster augmentation RX offered.

* ReluctantFanserviceGirl: Unlike the General and Scientist, poor GG isn't comfortable with the lewd situations the manga keeps putting her into at all.



* UnknownRival: When Braveman runs into Team RX at the beach, he demands a rematch with Black Lion... who's out with heatstroke from spending too long in the sun. So he asks for the boss... who's also out with heatstroke from wearing a hood, mask and jacket. GG looks at him hopefully, but ends up [[CornerOfWoe dejected]] when Braveman makes no mention of her.

* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: GG has her persona heavily based on cockroaches, including her superpowers (immense speed, stealthy presence, and enhanced senses), codename (GG sounds like "gokiburi", Japanese for cockroach), and appearance (dark skin like the shell, a scarf that looks like wings, and HairAntennae).



* AwesomeButImpractical: A lot of the Scientist's inventions have side effects that are too dangerous to be practical, eg: a ray gun with so much recoil as to vaporise the user.



* BlessedWithSuck:
** GG originally thinks so, getting the abilities of a ninja by becoming part-cockroach. She becomes more at ease with it after she befriends Minion 2.
** The hero Metal Prisoner wasn't told he wouldn't be able to take off his PoweredArmor until ''after'' he'd put it on.

** GG, the cockroach girl. Minion 2 cheers her out of a funk of inferiority by telling her so InUniverse.



* DarkSkinnedBlonde: GG has brown skin and white hair.



* DressedAllInRubber: GG gets around [[spoiler: Lightning Man]]'s electric attacks during their rematch by wearing a rubber catsuit hidden under her regular outfit.



* EmbarrassingSuperpower: GG wanted to be a ninja, unfortunately the Scientist gave her increased speed and reflexes by giving her cockroach traits. Including a skittering sound when she runs.



* HairAntennae: GG has a pair as part of her cockroach motif. They may actually work too, since she's shown reacting to a VisibleOdor wafting past them instead of under her nose.

* AloneAmongTheCouples:
** The General gets intensely frustrated when she realises how much romantic progress the side characters have made compared to her with Braveman.
** GG and Minion 2 like each other, and Minion 1 keeps getting into sexy situations with the Scientist (albeit reluctantly). Minion 3 has nobody, which clearly upsets him.



* AnimalsFearNeutering: The Secretary's go-to threat towards Mr X is to menace him with castration. It works.



* DitzyGenius: The Scientist is a little... out there, but she's a legitimate genius whose weapons and potions are incredibly powerful.



* TheFaceless: The Boss always wears a CoolMask and [[InTheHood scalp-covering hood]], while the Minions are FacelessGoons wearing black-and-white X-shaped masks, both cases completely hiding all facial features. None of the four ever remove their masks, not even when they go to the beach and walk around shirtless, something that results in the Boss getting heatstroke, and ClothingDamage consistently fails to so much as tear the masks even a little.



* GreenEyedMonster:
** A literal example with stray monster Zero Duty, who's feelings of Valentine's envy mutated him into a chocolate stealing beast that seeks to destroy the holiday.
** Minions 1 and 3 get intensely envious of Minion 2's relationship with GG. It gets to the point where they outright attack him when it's confirmed they've been dating for a week in "Chapter 86: The Green-Eyed Monster".

* HandHidingSleeves: The Scientist usually wears an oversized lab coat that hides her hands.



* HotScientist: The Scientist's ShamelessFanserviceGirl attitude towards nudity and [[SleepsInTheNude inability to comfortably sleep unless she's naked]] provides an ample number of opportunities for the story to show off what a curvy and overall atttractive body she has. Even her regular scientist outfit includes a tight shirt with a low neckline that constantly shows off her ample breasts.



* IdenticalTwinIDTag: While there's nothing stating they're actual triplets, the Minions have body structures and [[FacelessGoons appearance hiding outfits]] that make them identical enough to count. As such, the story differentiates them through different eye shapes, with Minion 1's eyes being {{tsurime}}, Minion 2's being round, and Minion 3's are {{tareme}}, giving them a touch more individuality than the default FacelessGoons concept usually provides.



* MadScientist:
** The Scientist is responsible for creating various devices and monsters for helping RX to achieve world domination, even though sometimes her inventions are rather unsuccessful.
** The Ph.D. is a member of the "Organization" whose "experiments challenge the bounds of science and dabble in the taboo". He's created multiple clones of the General, but they are not as well controlled as he thought they would be.

* NiceGuy: Minion 2 goes on NotADate with GG (who was actually [[spoiler:looking for a gift for her father and wanted his input]]) and never acts as anything but a perfect gentleman towards her. The other two minions trailing them have a HeelRealization moment when they hear what they were doing.



* OpaqueNerdGlasses: The Scientist's glasses have black spirals.



* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: The Scientist has no hangups about being seen nude. Her character bio states that things like modesty mean very little to her.



* SleepsInTheNude: By her own admission the Scientist can't sleep otherwise, as Minion 1 finds out the fun way when he goes to her for help fixing his phone.

* TrademarkFavouriteFood: The Secretary loves pudding. [[spoiler: A fact first used by the Chairman of the Hero League to drug and kidnap her; and later by the General to override the Chairman's brainwashing of her.]]



* VillainousBSOD:
** GG goes into a bad state of depression due to feeling useless compared to Black Lion. Minion 2 cheers her up by pointing out that while Black Lion is more of an anthropomorphic animal, GG kept her looks as a CuteMonsterGirl.
** The Secretary breaks down after she realises that [[spoiler:she attacked her own comrades while under hypnosis]].
* VillainProtagonist: The RX Organization and the Black General herself are the main focus of the manga. Most of the story is spent on their time trying to take over the world and failing miserably.

CuteMonsterGirl.



* WomenAreWiser: The General and Scientist notwithstanding, the only two members of Team RX to have their heads remotely screwed on right are GG and the Secretary. As demonstrated by the Christmas party episode where they're the only ones who brought actual food and drinks.
* WorfHadTheFlu: The Boss has [[MindOverMatter telekinetic powers]] so strong that he's able to contend with some of the strongest superheroes in the world, with some implication that if he ever got serious he could potentially match even [[FlyingBrick Mother Justice]]. As a result of this, whenever another organization seriously considers facing him, they do everything they can to prevent him from using his powers, such as tricking him into eating laxatives that keep his mind focused on the bathroom or [[spoiler:brainwashing the Secretary to kill herself if he uses his powers against her or the person that brainwashed her]].
* WouldNotHitAGirl: Like any good [[TheDitz idiot]]/{{tsundere}} dynamic, it's implied that the Boss could stop the Secretary's attacks easily with his telekinesis but is too polite to do so. The same goes for when Rose Princess occasionally threatens him over her PsychoLesbian crush on the Secretary, as he never so much as lifts a finger against her when it happens, instead leaving the Secretary herself to deal with the woman.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: As incompetent as RX often is, they can absolutely be a serious threat:
** The Boss is able to block Braveman's sneak attack with his mental powers, and can easily hold his own in combat as a result of his powerful telekinetic abilities. The only reason he loses their first fight is to make the General happy. He's also too laidback and simple-minded to seriously pursue the group's world domination goal, treating the whole operation as a fun club rather than an evil gang.

His black flames are also able to one-shot an enemy that all four of his subordinates can't even damage.

* DownInTheDumps: RX group's secret base is located in a trash dump, further cementing their loser status.



* HarmlessVillain: The RX members are pretty harmless because of their sheer incompetence in taking over the world. They do move up a little bit into {{Not So Harmless Villain}}s territory as the story goes on but it's mostly due to sheer luck than anything else.



* HavingABlast: The Secretary's superpower is the ability to blow up anything she touches.



* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: The RX organization as whole are generally little more than a public nuisance operating out of a [[DownInTheDumps trash dump]] despite their best efforts. While they certainly have the strength and powers, they completely lack the financial stability and competency required to achieve world domination, with the Hero League raising the threat level for them only because they're repeatedly able to defeat all their non-Braveman adversaries through dumb luck.



* InTheHood: RX's Boss always wears a hooded jacket along with his mask. Even in direct sunlight in the middle of summer, when it causes him to pass out.



* LamePunReaction: The Secretary has a tendency to embarrass ''herself'' with bad puns.
-->'''Boss''': Ah! You said "secret airy"-\\
(BOOM!)



* LoserProtagonist: The RX Organization are mostly {{Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain}}s who try to take over the world but fail miserably.



* MadeOfIron: The Boss doesn't have any inherent SuperToughness, nor has he physically trained his body to be tougher, with him having a SquishyWizard build to go with his MindOverMatter powers. Despite that, numerous characters have made note of how he's capable of taking incredibly strong area-destroying attacks point-blank head-on without suffering any serious injuries, with the worst that happens being him getting knocked unconscious, such as the RunningGag of the Secretary frequently blowing him up whenever he angers or flusters her. Some of them eventually start questioning what his body is made of.



* MindOverMatter: The Boss possesses telekinesis strong enough to block Braveman's strongest punch.



* MistakenForBadass: The RX Organization gets this when Black Lion accidentally hospitalizes Kamen Soldier in a fight when Braveman is out-of-town. While fellow villain groups soon realize this was just a fluke after actually meeting the members, the larger hero community starts viewing them as a serious threat. Much to the confusion and exasperation of Braveman, who knows exactly how incompetent they are and is only more annoyed upon learning they even forgot the name of who they fought. They maintain this status with other heroes mostly due to dumb luck, with the public often going back-and-forth on how seriously to actually take them.



* OddlySmallOrganization: In contrast to the Hero League, who are a ([[WeAreStrugglingTogether mostly]]) unified HeroesRUs group comprising hundreds of members, and other villain groups, each of which have a large assortment of {{mook}}s alongside the bosses and lieutenants, RX is utterly tiny in terms of membership. When the story started there were only six members, the Boss, Secretary, General, and three Minions, and even over time they only add a small assortment of other characters, with their current lineup only being 12 members strong (adding the Scientist, Mr X, GG, Black Lion, Water Bear-chan, and X-chan). Despite this small membership count, they still make efforts to TakeOverTheWorld.



** Braveman constantly has to endure the stupidity that most of the RX group have, especially the General, and just wants to have a serious fight.
** The Secretary is the only person of the RX group who tries to take her job seriously and often gets irritated by the Boss's incompetence.



* {{Otaku}}: The Boss of the RX Organization loves to collect limited-edition villain figurines.



* PowerfulButIncompetent: Team RX as a whole falls into this, their reputation increasing solely by virtue of misunderstandings or unintentional badassery:
** The Boss has genuinely destructive PsychicPowers, but he rarely if ever uses them, and is far too much of a chuunibyou to actually be useful.
** The Scientist can create powerful hybrids and weapons, but while they are powerful in one way they're made useless in other ways:
*** Water Bear-chan, a human-tardigrade hybrid who's functionally invincible... when hibernating, meaning her only use is a HumanShield.
*** A handheld gun with a blast radius far greater than its range.
*** Black Lion, a human-lion hybrid able to fight toe-to-toe with a superhero, but who passes out if he spends too long in direct sunlight.
** The titular Black General is capable of surviving huge amounts of damage (not her clothes though) but is obsessed with getting the hero Braveman to sleep with her, with every scheme she tries backfiring.
** The only actually competent members of the team are the Secretary, who has explosion powers but is determined to remain the CloudcuckoolandersMinder / IgnoredEnamoredUnderling to the Boss, and GG, a girl who wanted to become a ninja so the Scientist equipped her with cockroach traits that embarrass her in combat (like making skittering noises when she fights).
** Balor, a cyclops who looks like an RPG endboss, with EyeBeams strong enough to destroy a city, but who faints at the slightest provocation (or after using his abilities).

* ACupAngst: The Secretary is actually quite decently endowed, but she spends a lot of time around the likes of [[GagBoobs the General and Scientist]], and reacts to comparisons [[BerserkButton poorly]].
* AlmightyJanitor: Secretary is, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin well]], a secretary. That said, she's seemingly the most powerful member of RX (with the possible exception of the Boss when he gets serious), capable of turning anything she touches into a high-powered explosive.



** The Boss exemplifies this the best, since he gets the most screen-time, doing everything he can to keep them financially stable, always finding ways to keep them happy and satisfied, and overall treating the group like a family. He even lets Braveman beat him during their first encounter simply because the General was so looking forward to seeing Braveman victorious.



* BerserkButton: The Boss's incompetence gets on the Secretary's nerves to the point that she regularly uses her explosive powers on him to teach him a lesson.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: The Boss is a rather disarming individual to be around, but his psychic powers make him extremely dangerous and are strong enough to stop one of Braveman's punches cold. Later in the series when new enemies to the RX Group begin to surface they usually end up having to make sure [[WorfHadTheFlu the Boss can't use his powers]].



** The series' central humour comes from the General's and Team RX's constant failures.
** The Boss is a LoserProtagonist otaku who always gets blown up by the Secretary, thanks to either his incompetence or him doing things that annoy her.
** Minion 1 keeps getting used as a guinea pig by the Scientist.

He reluctantly gives up on trying to dissuade public opinion on this tidbit.

** Braveman's character bio notes his uncanny resemblance to "[[Franchise/{{Batman}} a certain well known hero from Goth*m City]]" (at least in costume, anyway). This gets {{lampshaded}} in the manga proper in chapter 95, with General pointing out "Braveman's silhouette looks like a ''certain other hero's''".

** Braveman's real face is this. While he's not bad looking, his face is rather scary, to the point that he's frequently mistaken for a thug or sexual offender.

* LightningBruiser: Braveman is pretty much a FlyingBrick without the flight, possessing SuperStrength on the level of being able to create earth-shaking nuke-like explosions just by punching the ground, SuperSpeed that allows him to move faster than the naked eye can see, and SuperToughness that makes him effectively invincible against most forms of harm. That said, he still has mostly normal stamina, so overexerting himself will still tire him out regardless of if he's unharmed, and he's not genuinely invincible, so anybody strong enough can hurt and potentially kill him.

BerserkButton: The Boss's incompetence gets on the Secretary's nerves to the point that she regularly uses her explosive powers on him to teach him a lesson.



* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: "B", in Braveman's case, in the form of a "B" pin on his cloak.



** Braveman is also one. He's always getting stalked by the General, who is essentially his number one fan, while he just wants to have a regular superhero fight against the villains. Not only that, his civilian identity is forever being mistaken by the police either as a molester or a thug thanks to his scary face.



* CluelessChickMagnet: {{Invoked|Trope}} in appearance but {{subverted|trope}} in reality. Braveman's repeated ignorance of, and often outright defiance towards, various women who act obsessed with him has resulted in plenty of people viewing him as incredibly dense about what a lady-magnet he is, but he's actually very aware of when a lady likes him. It's just that the only people that genuinely want him (like the General) are {{Abhorrent Admirer}}s that he doesn't ''want'' to acknowledge romantically, whereas the remaining construed "female attractions" are just cases of MistakenForRomance, such as GG being an UnknownRival.

* StalkerWithACrush: The General has an unhealthy obsession towards Braveman, much to the latter's frustration. Indeed, she joined the RX Organization precisely so she could get closer to Braveman, on the logic that villains are the ones who get closest to heroes.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: The General constantly does everything she possibly can to try wooing and courting Braveman, but not only is he mainly concerned with stopping her villainous efforts as part of RX, her obsession and craziness is such a massive turn-off, he makes it quite clear he'd never go out with her even if she wasn't a villain.



* ArentYouGoingToRavishMe: The General's sole goal in life is to have Braveman take her virginity and she will go to any lengths for this to happen. He's thoroughly uninterested.



* TheBaroness: The General is trying to be the Sexpot variation, but her [[StalkerWithACrush obsessions]] and other personality flaws keep breaking the mystique. The "Onna-Kanbu" ("Woman Executive") in the title refers to a Japanese Sister Trope to the Baroness archetype.



** The General has some of the biggest breasts in the entire female cast, and she's also one of the physically strongest, being a borderline superhuman BadassNormal who can go toe-to-toe with characters that possess genuine SuperStrength like Braveman.



* TheBrute: The General is the primary powerhouse of RX, with her incredible physical abilities and impressive combat skills brought about through CharlesAtlasSuperpower training. At the same time she's also one of the dumbest characters in the manga, as she is so obsessed with both villainy and Braveman that her capacity for plan-making and problem-solving is sorely lacking, only really understanding how to brute-force things. Though she's also a bit of a GeniusDitz, as she has decent enough AwesomenessByAnalysis skills that allow her to see through lies and figure out new ways to bypass Braveman's efforts to make her stop chasing him.



* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: The General doesn't have any inherent supernatural powers, but her sheer determination to keep up with Braveman and get him to accept her love causes her to train so hard, she's about as powerful as Braveman himself, who has a bonafide LightningBruiser powerset. Her training is so good that she can temporarily contend with [[FlyingBrick Mother Justice]] herself. Sure, she gets flattened like everybody else when Mother Justice fights a bit more seriously, but nobody else has been able to make Mother Justice put genuine effort into fighting them, so it still counts for something.



** The General has admitted to Braveman that she only wears the eyepatch to look cool, and most of her persona is an attempt to invoke DatingCatwoman.



** The General is so utterly obsessed with Braveman that she absolutely despises him getting close to others girls. While this regularly manifests as acting {{Yandere}} and trying to MurderTheHypotenuse when she convinces herself they might be a love rival, even when she accepts there's no romance she still gets jealously clingy about Braveman so much as being friendly to another girl, since it keeps his attention away from her.



** The General, despite being superpower-less, soon becomes fast enough to dodge Braveman's attacks, tough enough to shrug off the superpowered attacks of various heroes, and make it through hero training to become the academy's top student. For all her eccentricities, she ''is'' an excellent fighter... it's just that the person she usually faces is someone she'd rather kiss than defeat.



** The General would very much like this to happen, but Braveman isn't interested.



* ImmuneToMindControl: The General's case of intense SingleTargetSexuality towards Braveman makes her almost impervious to all attempts at forcing her subservience, whether it's through a LovePotion or {{Brainwashing}}. The only way it could possibly work is by playing off her obsession with Braveman, and even then, the moment the mind control tries to lead her to do something not involving him, she will near-instantly break free. Not even Braveman himself can control her if it involves commanding her in any way to stop coming after him.



** The General is prone to frequent tearful tantrums.



* LoonyFan: The General to Braveman, and how!



* {{Otaku}}: The Boss of the RX Organization loves to collect limited-edition villain figurines, while the General has a thing for {{tokusatsu}} heroes.

* PlotAllergy: The General suffers from bad hay fever. Braveman weaponises it by hitting a [[https://youtu.be/mhr8loYEniE Japanese Cedar]].



* SelfServingMemory: As seen in chapter 66, the General will reject reality if it doesn't match up to her fantasies.
* SexySantaDress: The General wears one on Christmas Eve in yet another attempt at seducing Braveman.



* ShamelessFanserviceGirl:
** The General quite clearly knows how physically attractive she is, and frequently looks for excuses to try showing off her body to Braveman in an effort to woo him. Unfortunately for her, all of her efforts to use sex appeal come off so strongly in their shamelessness, Braveman gets even more turned off than when she's simply being incredibly forward about her "love".
** The Scientist has no hangups about being seen nude. Her character bio states that things like modesty mean very little to her.

* WrongGenreSavvy: The General's under the impression that she's in a standard tokusatsu story.



* {{Yandere}}: The General's intense obsession with Braveman often results in her going through various mental loops in an effort to ensure he becomes hers, and one of those ways involves her construing any form of interaction between him and another woman as producing a potential love rival, followed by the decision to prevent that by way of MurderTheHypotenuse. She never gets far, since Braveman always stops her both physically and by clearing up the misunderstanding, but her obsession means that it happens with every new female she sees so much as talk to Braveman.

** Every once in a while, there comes to be a few scenes or even an entire chapter which provide hints that Braveman and the General actually have the potential for making a good couple, since whenever circumstances arise that either nullify potential antagonism (like Braveman temporarily getting amnesia) or they somehow cross each other while in their {{Secret Identit|y}}ies, the General shows that she's both AboveTheInfluence and genuinely finds Braveman's true FaceOfAThug appearance rough but cool without any bias about his identity.
