** On the flip side, Kid Flash does ''not'' have unlimited energy; even superheroes with incredible powers will get tired eventually. Madame Rouge's strategy for dealing with Kid Flash is basically to keep hunting him down until he's too tired to fight back or run away.

* AmbitionIsEvil: Played straight then inverted. At first, most of the HIVE Five wish to keep to smaller, more self-serving crimes, while Jinx's ambition makes her want to join in the Brotherhood of Evil's world-threatening supervillainy. By the end, it inspires Jinx to take her life in an entirely different direction, while her friends remain complacent as petty crooks.
