* '''Exaggerated''': Kyle fairs well in every facet of his life, but seems average at best next to Maximilian the Astonishingly Charming Superman, who always manages to steal the spotlight without even trying.

* '''Justified''': Alexandra and Maximilian have gone through lots of special training as well as associated with lots of superachievers whereas Rachel and Kyle have simply gone through the most usual routes.

** Alexandra has super speed, which she mostly uses for running away from danger. Rachel on the other hand has super strength, which she tries to use. Alexandra doesn't know this, and whenever Rachel tries to fight Alexandra intervenes to "save" her, because surely weak little Rachel could NEVER hold her own against such a threat. "What are you doing?" Rachel yells as Alexandra pulls her away. "Saving us, you FearlessFool!" Alexandra answers. Since Rachel never gets to fight, everyone assumes that she just has a really big Napoleon Complex, and whenever she tries to explain herself the other characters cut her off and lecture her about unnecessarily putting herself in danger unarmed. "Although maybe if you had super strength..." muses Commander Bob, prompting an exasperated sigh from Rachel. Eventually she gives up and settles for using her strength for more menial tasks, which nobody notices because they're too busy admiring Alexandra's super speed. Ergo, rather then being OvershadowedByAwesome, Rachel is being overshadowed by ''less'' awesome.

* '''Deconstructed''': Rachel develops a serious case of Inferiority Complex and proceeds to [[HeroicSelfDeprecation throw her self-confidence out of the window]]. She then leaves the team to fend on their own, believing that they are better without her. Without and extra hand, the team's performance starts to suffer.
