** Mark is [[SecretIdentity secretly]] the Superhero Captain Awesome. Natalie [[LovesMyAlterEgo likes Mark but dislikes Captain Awesome, Katy is a big fan of Captain Awesome but has contempt for Mark, but Sharon respects them both]].

* '''Straight''': Mark has two girls vying for his interest: his {{Tomboy}}ish [[UnluckyChildhoodFriend Childhood]] [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Friend]] [[{{Tsundere}} Natalie]] and [[DefrostingIceQueen Katy]], a [[RichBitch Rich]], AlphaBitch who's also [[TheCheerleader Head Cheerleader]] and one of the most popular girls in school. Suddenly, he meets [[LastGirlWins Sharon]] and chooses her over a stunned Natalie and Katy.

** Not only does Mark chose Sharon, but the [[CockFight two guys who were pining for Sharon]] end up with Natalie and Katy.

* '''Reconstructed''': Mark's new friend Sharon points out to him that Natalie and Katy have actually been pretty unpleasant to him lately, and he'd been so wrapped up in trying to choose between them that he'd forgotten about anyone else. She encourages him think about what it is he really wants, and look for a girl who gives him that. He plays the field a bit, but his frienship with Sharon only deepens, and he comes to realize that she's the one for him.

* '''Downplayed''': Sharon is a ChekhovsGunman, who's been a peripheral acquaintance of Mark's for some time. He only starts paying attention to her when he realises that this LoveTriangle situation is toxic and he doesn't really want either of them.

* '''Exaggerated''': Mark has had plenty of girls ([[EvenTheGuysWantHim and some guys]]) show obvious interest in him, but he's only ever returned the affection given to him by Natalie and Katy... until Sharon enters the picture, at which point he drops both of them like a bad habit and hooks up with her.

* '''Zig Zagged''': The Love Triangle just becomes a [[LoveDodecahedron Love Tetrahedron]].

* '''Enforced''': The writers are genuinely scared of the ShippingWars that would break out if they ever resolved the LoveTriangle; Sharon is introduced in the hope that she'll be better received.

* '''Subverted''': Sharon enters the picture, but Mark doesn't show any interest in her.

* '''Parodied''': Sharon wins Mark over Natalie and Katy...and then Carol shows up seconds later, and he drops Sharon for her. And then Angela walks by....

* '''Deconstructed''': Mark chooses Sharon because he's tired of Natalie and Katy warring over him, but it turns out he and Sharon aren't a particularly good match. And Natalie and Katy both feel so betrayed by Mark dropping them for Sharon that he loses their friendship entirely.
