* '''Deconstructed''': Supertroper's poses are visually flashy but tend to leave him improperly balanced. Emperor Evulz studies his moves and learns of this weakness, and routinely defeats Supertroper in combat.
* '''Reconstructed''': Supertroper learns new moves which are combat-functional as well as visually impressive.
* '''Zig Zagged''': When faced with an enemy, Supertroper strikes an impressive pose in order to hide the fact that he actually has no skill in combat. However, the foe attacks anyway, not intimidated by this. But the enemy can't fight either, so a slap-fight ensues, in which Supertroper is the victor because of his AssKickingPose's distraction value.

"These characters like Supertroper, they always strike a flashy pose whenever they get into a fight. It's in the comic book credo."
* '''Played For Laughs''': Supertroper's poses are visually silly looking, i.e. his [[PottyEmergency legs are crossed]] and his arms akimbo and [[WalkLikeAnEgyptian at odd angles]]... but it still works.
