* CompleteMonster: In a game that celebrates the goofy legacy of [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] comics, TimeMaster comes across as one of the most sinister villains in the franchise. In the first game, he tests the Freedom Force by having dinosaurs appear in the middle of Patriot City and gives technology to Mr. Mechanical to aid in his quest to destroy several parts of the city. Time Master in the end reveals himself, revealing that the point of these tests was to discover who was the most powerful member of Freedom Force. Deciding [[PersonofMassDestruction Man Bot]] is the most powerful, Time Master kidnaps him and plans to overload his powers near the Celestial Clock, which would [[OmnicidalManiac destroy the universe]] and make Time Master {{immortal|ity Immorality}}.

* EvilIsSexy: Shadow turns out to be quite pretty (despite having a scar) once we see her true face.
** Pan (being associated with passion and lust) is, unsurprisingly this. Not only is he quite handsome, he's [[MrFanservice technically naked, with only fur covering his body below the waist.]]

* LowTierLetdown: Mentor is often regarded as bottom of the bottom tier. It's considered possibly useful to get one of his powers for a single mission in the original game. That's it. The only time you'll be advised to use him. Nonetheless, He's actually pretty handy for spamming [[StuffBlowingUp energy grenades]].

* HilariousInHindsight: [[spoiler: Alchemiss is a ComicBook/ScarletWitch Expy but with a storyline that resembles Jean Grey, later in comics ComicBook/ScarletWitch gets a similar AGodAmI arc]].

This sounds like it's the inversion of the trope rather than it being played straight.


* EsotericHappyEnding: [[spoiler: At the end of the second game, Alchemiss finds she cannot control [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Entropy]] and willingly banishes herself to another dimension. As a result, everyone in this dimension [[RetGone forgets she ever existed]], which seems like a straight DownerEnding until you realize that none of her friends or family will have to grieve over her or otherwise feel bad. We also see the place she banished herself to isn't empty (as she thought at first) but has the living embodiment of Energy X, although whether that's a good thing or bad is unclear, as the [[GainaxEnding game just ends right there.]]]]

* CrossesTheLineTwice: Red Sun, the Japanese Supervillain is weak to Radiation. Ironic given that he uses a sun motif... until you consider [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_bombings_of_Hiroshima_and_Nagasaki what later happened]]. Then it becomes darkly hilarious.

** The first thing Diablo does after gaining his powers? Fly over the city, which gives him some much needed perspective on his life. The second thing he does? He ends a gang war by simply talking to both sides and getting them to make peace with each other.

* Heartwarming: While both games have a lot of fun indulging in the sillier aspects of the UsefulNotes/{{the Silver Age|of Comic Books}}., they manage to squeeze in some heartwarming moments here and there.

** Mentor, despite being TheSpock of the group, often does his best to comfort his fellow heroes. Whether it's Manbot declaring himself a menace or AlcheMiss wondering if she's up to the challenge, Mentor lives up to his name by giving them words of encouragement, declaring Manbot to be a hero and expressing his faith in AlcheMiss' abilities.

** When Bullet is captured in the second game, Black Jack, Tricolor and Sky King meet to discuss rescuing the hero. Sky King (who hasn't yet met any members of Freedom Force) asks skeptically if they're really going to risk their lives to save someone who claims to run faster than lightning and also claims to come from the future. Tricolor says that Bullet was willing to stand up to the 3rd Reich, and asks if they need any other reason to try and save him. Sky King's response a simple but firm "Let's go". It's a nice showing that, powers or no powers, the WWII trio were heroes,
