* AfraidOfClowns: Sparky is a HeroicComedicSociopath who constantly maintains a cheerful attitude, but he is horrified when he meets Melonhead, a floating, disembodied clown face. It's hard to tell whether or not Melonhead actually wants to fight Sparky, but there is a boss fight anyway, implying that Sparky is killing him just for being a clown.

Antihero/NominalHero: While Sparky never harms anyone that isn't on the Bounty list or anyone who attacks him first (In fact, he actually tries to talk four forearms out of fighting him, albiet more in a "out of my way" way than anything else)it's pretty clear he's a ComedicSociopath who loves killing, though he goes out of his way to spare Nightshade whenever they fight, and Shiggy is never harmed either.
BrokenPedestal: Subverted. Sparky meets Nightshade, a famous bounty hunter that's apparently tough enough to cause Shiggy to panic, who basically shit talks him and tries to kill him to get to the bounties first. On top of all that, Sparky trounces her every time they meet (in fact, she's one of the easier mini-bosses in the game) despite her getting constant upgrades. ...Sparky still admires her, and says this is apparently one of the better interactions with his many heros, (apparently all of the other ones resulted them being reduced to red stains on his blaster)
EldritchAbomination:BanzEye is one. Of course, it doesn't stop Sparky from blasting his WEAKPOINT into bits, even when he puts on a welding mask he can't see thorugh.
MixandMatchCritters: Sparky is some sort of... rabbit stardust alien, and Shiggy is a "Antropormorphic Shark-pig"
EvilBrit: Space badger is one, complete with slang, and Sparky struggling to understand him at points.
Overheating: Sparky's gun, and apparently others are prone to this, with the tutorial DJ mentioning he can no longer feel anything in his right hand, and if you overheat your gun, the ammo type is destroyed, and Sparky takes a bit of damage
PunnyName: Four Forearms. It pisses off the owner to no end, because everyone think's he saying 4 4arms instead of 4 forearms.
