* BerserkButton: For Dasien, calling Anime "cartoons".

* FlyingBrick: Dasien, essentially,but with [[InASingleBound super jumping]] substituted for flight.
* FountainOfYouth: The gimmick of a one-off supervillain known as "The Pacifier", done using what is apparently [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Merlin's Pacifier]]. [[spoiler: when Merlin's pacifier is broken, it backfires on The Pacifier himself]].

* {{Leotard of Power}}

* MysteriousPast: As part of the Crimson Gestalt's conditioning, they have their memories blocked. [[spoiler: Lord Crimson gets his back while in prison.]]
* NonIndicativeName: The E.M.A. (Electromagnetic Amplifier). Despite it's name, it doesn't technically amplify anything.

* OrphansPlotTrinket: In a slight subversion, the locket is owned by [[Parker]], who (as far as we know) is not an orphan. [[spoiler: the orphan is the boy whose picture is in the locket.]] [[spoiler: it's heavily implied that the kid is Lord Crimson]].

* RedIsHeroic: It is for Dasien, but not for the Crimson Gestalt.
* RedheadInGreen: Palody's {{SailorFuku}} has green trimming.
* RunningGag: "I'm Dave".

* ShoutOut: The fight between Dasien and Lord Crimson is highly reminiscent of Manga/DragonBall, right down to the CallingYourAttacks.
** And to ScoobyDoo [[http://dasien.com/archives/Holiday/Issue3/Page2.html here]].
* StockSuperheroDayJobs: Dasien is a newspaper photographer, working with her friend who is a reporter.

-->'''Parker:''' (pointing to Dasien's XRaySparks in the distance) Well, why can't '''she''' do it?!

* TheGreatestStoryNeverTold: Rouge deliberately uses this (with some [[MetaphoricallyTrue jedi truths]] thrown in) to keep [[TheManBehindTheMan Neuros]] from enacting retribution on her, Maroon, or Lord Crimson.
* TheManBehindTheMan: Neuros for the Crimson Gestalt. [[spoiler:and The Technomancer for Neuros.]]

* EvilRedheads: Red, Rouge and Ruby of the Crimson Gestalt.

** As of February 2014, the comic has been publishing for nearly a year with only a few minor schedule mishaps.

-->'''Parker:''' Let me get this straight, Mr. Tennessee Waterfall! You expect '''me''' to prance around naked because [Ruby] is apparently '''gynophobic'''?! is that what I'm to believe?
