** Butch had a very crappy constant life full of abuse (whether physically or emotional) by hand of his friends (both groups), the Fleming family, every single mission they ever had and [[spoiler: his original mother]] and he still kept a cheerful, upbeat personality.

Not an example. She's brainwashed at the end so she forgets that.


** [=SpyGirl=] discovers [[spoiler:she is actually an double brainwashed to believe she was the original [=SpyGirl=], which was killed. All her life and her identity as Yukio are revealed to be the other [=SpyGirl=]'s, not hers. Yet still, she keeps on as if nothing had happened.]]

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: ''Spyboy'' is a sort of snapshot of late '90s/early '00s comic books, and its contemporary pop culture in general. The fashion is pure 2000 (lots of bare midriffs and visible thongs), it's self-consciously borrowing a ''lot'' from manga, and Spyboy's organization has a secret lair suspended between the Twin Towers.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Some disliked the ToneShift from ''Final Exam'', where the series became suddenly much more realistic and dramatic and less wacky and self-referencial.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Many plot points, if not the series itself, considering it got cancelled before it could receive any kind of conclusion.

-->"I was always frustrated with where we ended it. It didn't occur to me that they wouldn't continue the series; if I'd known, I'd never have left it on a lady-or-the-tiger cliffhanger. I remember when we did the ''Spyboy''/''Young Justice'' crossover. The book had already been canceled and fans read the crossover and made comments like, 'We really love this Spyboy character. How come no one's done a series with him?' That just leaves you banging your head against the wall."
