* ManOfSteelWomanOfKleenex: Apparently, there's [[http://eheroes.smackjeeves.com/comics/2855868/terribly-meaninful-information/ a special drug]] that can temporarily disable superpowers, used to prevent this exact problem.

* FilkSong: Carrie [[http://eheroes.smackjeeves.com/comics/1891188/carrie-sings-the-blues/ plays a little tribute]] to Janis Joplin.

* EyeGlasses: Several characters, including Jane's mother, Ken Troubled, Greta Goode, and Carrie.

* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: [[http://eheroes.smackjeeves.com/comics/2133455/ch12-37/ The home of Hornswoggle (and family).]]

* AltText: On just about every page. However, during the comic's move from Webcomics Nation to Smack Jeeves when the former started dying, some alt text and [[TheRant author commentaries]] were lost and as a result, chapters 12 through 14 currently lack them on Smack Jeeves. Thanks to the Website/WaybackMachine though, a few of the missing bits of text can be found, if one is willing to go through the trouble of matching up post dates and sometimes looking at source code. For example, [[https://web.archive.org/web/20121002073316/http://www.webcomicsnation.com/eddurd/everydayheroes/series.php?view=single&ID=208473 this page]] corresponded with [[http://eheroes.smackjeeves.com/comics/2133529/ch13-01/ this page]].

''[[http://eheroes.smackjeeves.com Everyday Heroes]]'' is a webcomic written and drawn by Ed Gedeon. It centers on Mr. Mighty, a PunchClockHero, and his family. Other characters include his wife, Jane, who has a DarkAndTroubledPast; his BrattyTeenageDaughter Summer who is trying to deal with new-found superpowers, and a host of teammates with {{Punny Name}}s.

Originally on Webcomics Nation, then on SmackJeeves, it's current hosted on ComicFury at http:/eheroes.thecomicseries.com ; also has a [[https://www.facebook.com/EverydayHeroesComic Facebook page]].

Originally a gag-a-day comic, more recent [[StoryArc Story Arcs]] have been more [[AnyoneCanDie dark]] and [[CerebusSyndrome dramatic]]. Originally drawn by Gedeon, it started with a MWF update schedule, but soon fell victim to ScheduleSlip, and only updated weekly (or less). Eric Boismier took over art duties for a time and got the comic onto a regular twice-a-week schedule. Eric has since moved and left the strip, but Ed managed to (mostly) maintain the schedule, updating the strip on Mondays and Fridays. Unfortunately, due to the combination of his wife's death, and having to look for a job, Ed went on a nearly year-long hiatus after the [[http://eheroes.smackjeeves.com/comics/2251881/a-bright-idea/ February 6th, 2016]] strip before resuming the strip on [[http://eheroes.smackjeeves.com/comics/2377186/phun-with-phonics/ January 5th, 2017]]. Updates were sporadic for the next several months, then artist duties were taken up by Elisa Price. Gedeon has taken over drawing again as of November 2018, aiming for once-a-week updates.

** Uma's glasses, when turned to maximum power, project a weirdness censor so strong, it jams whatever devices the mysterious [[PettingZooPeople dog and cow guys]] are using to track her. Of course, that still provides ''some'' useful information...
