* {{Tsundere}}: Hartley. Hartley is the ''deredere'' kind of ''Tsundere''; she's a generally very sweet girl who's always cheerful and sunny about helping others and being a good person, but she also has an easily annoyed side that [[BerserkButton if the circumstances or characters push her buttons enough, she can go berserk and lash out pretty harshly.]]

* {{Hypocrite}}: In the episode, "Hidden Hero", Jake gets [[GreenEyedMonster extremely jealous]] of Hartley when she saves one of Valley View High School's students from falling off a ladder, when he had been previously going around secretly saving people beforehand. When Hartley starts getting a lot of praise and recognition for doing so, and when Amy explains to Hartley that Jake is jealous of her, Amy reminds him that he was the one who always told her that "being a hero is not about the recognition you get" and tells him that he has no reason to be jealous of her. He then tells her that that was just a lie and he was only saying that because it's a good thing to say when you're virtue-signalling, because everyone knows that being a hero or a villain is ''always'' about the recognition.

* SadistTeacher: When Vic becomes substitute science teacher in the second episode, he takes great joy in giving Fs to everyone, whether they deserve it or not.

** Another example in the episode, "Power Struggle" where when Blue Granite, Vic's superhero brother, throws the glass case he's keeping Vic's old superpower up in the air, Colby tries to jump up to catch it, but misses horribly as both he and the glass case crash down on the floor.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The Maddens as a whole are like this with each other, but Amy particularly stands out: The whole reason they're in hiding in the first place is that she attacked the BigBad, Onyx, in a fit of anger when he denied her mother a promotion and dismissed her family as weak. Outside of her family, she also comes to care about Harley in spite of her villainous instincts.

* TheDissenterIsAlwaysRight: Only Amy was suspicious about Declan's behavior in "Friend or Foe", but she keeps losing her proof which almost results in a PlotMandatedFriendshipFailure with Hartley. By episode's end, Amy was proven to trust Declan, and it wasn't until "No Escape" does she realize too late she was right to be suspicious all along when Declan is revealed to be Onyx's second-in-command Oculan, who turns them in.

* MilhollandRelationshipMoment: The central conflict of "Party People" is that Hartley feels she is too old for Celia's annual tradition of throwing a tea party on her birthday, but is afraid to hurt Celia's feelings by asking to call it off. As it turns out, Celia was just as sick of it as Hartley and only kept the tradition alive because she thought Hartley still liked it.
