** Alice is in a wheelchair, but is also the greatest warrior to ever live.

** Alice has a sprained ankle, but can still fight competently.

** Alice had faked her disability.

** Wheel-chair bound Alice manages to cleave her way through an army of mooks ''and'' TheDragon… only to be stopped by a set of stairs.[[note]]That still doesn't stop her[[/note]].

* '''Zig Zagged''': Whether or not Alice's disability makes her the team badass or the team damsel depends on the monster of the week

* '''Invoked''': Alice [[EyeScream tears out her own eye]] in order to [[EyepatchOfPower win the respect of her peers.]]

** Alice may be badass, but she's still held back in some areas by her disability.

* '''Played For Laughs''':
** [[Webcomic/TheBMovieComic The pirates in the show gain strength proportional to the amount of body-parts they loose.]] When Hiro and Co. find a pirate with a patch on both eyes, two peg legs, and two hook hands, they elect to just leave him alone.
** If her teammates didn't keep swiping her wheelchair out from out under her, Alice would probably kill every villain the first opportunity she got.
* '''Played For Drama''': Alice loses her wheelchair in the final fight with the BigBad, and has to literally drag herself over to him to fight him.
* '''Played For Horror''': Alice is a PersonOfMassDestruction and every single enemy she faces [[UnderestimatingBadassery takes one look at the fact she's in a wheelchair and start to laugh]], even the ones who are pragmatic. The ones who don't become bloody smears on the walls a nanosecond later Alice plays with, [[BerserkButton because she doesn't likes it when they make fun of her disability]].
