%% * EveryoneMeetsEveryone: in a reality show contest, no less.

* SupernaturalMartialArts: Axel is a master of the Jo-Lan martial art which grants him the ability to teleport and fire energy blasts. Apparently there are other abilities a Jo-Lan warrior can unlock such as telekinesis and force fields.

* TheWorfEffect: Flesh gets hit, hard. In his debut, he was strong, and easily got the upper hand, the team got good hits in, but King only defeated him by out smarting him. Later, he had become incredibly ineffective, Dragon and Mass could easily beat him. Spydah, though, displayed the same competency from his debut (Which wasn't a whole lot, but he could put up an okay fight), more or less, he always got ass handed to him, but he managed to stay in the fight longer than Flesh.

* BaldOfAwesome: King is too badass to ''need'' hair.

** Lioness: "¡Vamanos!"

There has been a second season aired in Europe, but never made it to the US. This season contains an interesting PlotTwist: Mr. Lee, the industrialist who was the team's mentor in the first season, turns out to have been EvilAllAlong. Even worse, he's created the Mu-Team, a group of mutated PsychoRangers with super powers, from the heroes' DNA through LegoGenetics.

* DenserAndWackier: Zig-zagged with season 2. While there’s more action and the main plots are usually serious, the subplots and the ways the heroes defeat their opponents can be extremely silly. For example, Shark stops an empowered Stingfly by burping a strong wind at him, and Hawk beats Rayza by having an allergic reaction where a suddenly swelling nose knocks the mutant out.

* %%* FemaleGaze: Seriously? No matter how much they tried to pimp out Lioness, there was no escaping the fact that it was a team of muscular teenaged men. This trope was in effect any time the guys were shirtless.

* MundaneSolution:
** Axel gets the drop on Paine and Spydah when they assault his house. He turns off the lights, and uses a stealth suit/night-vision goggles to sneak up on them in the dark. Among other things, he drops a pinata on top of Spydah[[note]]who shoots it, and gets thrown off balance by the candy raining down on him[[/note]]. He starts taking down Paine fairly easily, right up to the point Spydah walks over to the switch and turns the lights back on. This causes the suit to short out, and the night-vision to blind him.

* MarketBasedTitle: In the UK, Australia, and Latin America, the line was a spinoff of Hasbro's earlier ''WesternAnimation/ActionMan'' line (Axel being the equivalent of Action Man here), so it was dubbed ''Action Man A.T.O.M.''.
