* BadassNormal: Pretty much the entire cast, though the second season final suddenly reveals Steve pretty much has [[StarWars The Force]]. However, A song sung by Rod's actor in the final episode refers to The Fist Team as a team of Superhumans.

** The Fist Team save a forest from loggers. A forest could easily be considered week for representing nature, but Steve genuinely cares about the forest. One could say he's just trying to prove how weak the protesters are, but this is dashed away when the Fist Team (or specifically, Mephisto) happily plants a small tree at the end of the episode.
** A few times, Steve seemed to genuinely care when someone got killed or hurt, such as Womp in Vertical Challenge.

They spread the word of Fistworthiness, a way of life that crushes Weakness and basically make everyone into a BadassNormal. Whenever a character got a CrowningMomentOfAwesome (there were many) they would get awarded Full Fist, failure to do so would award No Fist. Episodes would usually end with someone winning a prize of some sort, usually another Full Fist. Series Two introduces Man of Fist, which is awarded to the most outstanding show of Fist Worthiness per episode.
