13	* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: As Amy admits to Hartley at the end of the first episode, the reason they're on the run from Onyx is that she attacked him after he called her whole family "weak".
14	* BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad: The attitude of all the Maddens except Jake. Amy especially starts off not caring much about keeping her villainous instincts under wraps, and while her parents and Colby are more subtle they'd also rather not have to pretend to be nice. In particular, Eva and Vic are ''disappointed'' rather than proud when Jake is in the running to be [[ClassRepresentative Student of the Month]].
15	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The Maddens as a whole are like this with each other, but Amy particularly stands out: The whole reason they're in hiding in the first place is that she attacked the BigBad, Onyx, in a fit of anger when he denied her mother a promotion and dismissed her family as weak. Outside of her family, she also comes to care about Hartley in spite of her villainous instincts.
16	* EvilCannotComprehendGood: A recurring theme as the Maddens, being supervillains, have a difficult time understanding people who aren't like them. The first big example is how they try to blackmail Hartley into keeping their secret as the idea someone would actually keep quiet out of friendship and honoring their word is a foreign concept to them.
17	* PowerDyesYourHair: Their hair gets some color added to them when in uniform. For instance, Havoc's hair darkens with red highlights, Surge's hair turns mostly metallic green, and Chaos's hair becomes partially bleach-blond.
18	* SecretIdentity: The Maddens must keep their identities as the Mayhems a secret to avoid being spotted and sent into custody.
19	* VillainProtagonist: The series focuses on a family of villains, with the daughter as the main protagonist.

27	* BerserkButton: Messing with her friends or her family is the fastest way to get on her bad side. [[spoiler: It ends up being the last mistake Onyx ever makes.]]
28	* CompellingVoice: She can hypnotize people with her voice, though she rarely does.
29	* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Is the impulsive and self-centered Foolish Sibling to Jake’s academically and ethically Responsible.
30	* MakeSomeNoise: Her power lets her create sonic blasts and booms, and also project imitations of any sound (like the bell ringing early, or the principal's voice calling Jake to his office on the PA).
31	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Her and Jake’s spree in "Unleash the Chaos", specifically bringing down the powerline, allows Onyx to track the Maddens to Valley View and sending in another villain to find them.
32	* PetTheDog: She saves Gem from a falling chandelier, even though Gem is her enemy and they were just fighting.
33	* ProperlyParanoid: She takes an instant dislike to Declan, but tries to put aside her mistrust of him for Hartley's sake. She eventually learns that she was right about him.
34	* RedOniBlueOni: Played with. She's the Red to Hartley's Blue, being more mischievous and rebellious (red) while Hartley's more well-behaved and responsible (blue). However, she's also more calm and reserved (blue), while Hartley's more excitable and loud (red). She is also the Red to Jake's Blue.

45	* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Is the academically and ethically Responsible to Amy’s impulsive and self-centered Foolishness.
46	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: His and Amy's spree in "Unleash the Chaos", specifically bringing down the powerline, allows Onyx to track the Maddens to Valley View and sending in another villain to find them.
47	* GeniusBruiser: With SuperStrength being his power, you might expect him to be DumbMuscle, but in fact he seems to be almost as smart as his father. His project for science class was a green energy source that powered the school for days.
48	* IOweYouMyLife: [[spoiler:It turns out this is why Jake has been the only one to voluntarily make a HeelFaceTurn; the superheroine Starling saved his life months ago in his supervillain identity when she could easily have let him fall off a building to his doom, and since then he's been trying to follow her example. Jake later goes to [=ColossaCon=] with Hartley to get Starling's autograph so he can clandestinely thank her without her recognizing him. After Starling figures out who he is and learns why he's there, she nonetheless feels she has no choice but to alert the other superheroes to the fact the Maddens are hiding out in Valley View, until he returns the favor by saving her from a falling set piece]].
49	* WhiteSheep: Jake is the only member of the family who adjusts well to ordinary life and repeatedly insists that he's made a HeelFaceTurn and is a good person now. He quickly gets the approval of all his teachers and becomes Student of the Month after less than a month at school, while cautioning the rest of his family not to expose themselves by using their powers or engaging in mischief. They soon come to see him as a drag. [[spoiler:It turns out this is because the superheroine Starling saved his life not long before the series started and it inspired him to want to be a better person]].

56	* TheChosenOne: [[spoiler: In episode 12, when Colby finds out he has other powers besides shapeshifting, Vic tells him he is the chosen one. Since then, he likes to brag about it]].
57	* {{Invisibility}}: Gains this power after learning he is the chosen one.
58	* PowerIncontinence: He stays stuck on one form or uncontrollably shifting between forms for the second half of season one, Vic finally addressing and resolving the issue by the end of the season finale.
59	* SuperSpeed: Also another one of his chosen one powers.

81	%% * AbusiveParents:
82	* DatingCatwoman: [[spoiler: He was a superhero until he fell in love with Surge. When forced to choose between being with her and keeping his powers, he chose to give up his powers.]]
83	* DirtyCoward: He'll act all confident and superior when he believes he's got the advantage, but the second he realizes the tables have turned, expect him to instantly crack and be completely defenseless. He's also perfectly willing to throw his wife and kids under the bus if it means saving his own skin.
84	* DitzyGenius: Very. One time, Amy had to teach him about passwords because he locked himself out many times.
85	* FallenHero: [[spoiler:He was originally a superhero named Silver Flame who was kicked out of his family because he fell in love with supervillain Surge and stripped of his PlayingWithFire power]].
86	* GivenNameReveal: [[spoiler: His real name is Jack Thomas.]]
87	* ItsAllAboutMe: Is quite egotistical.
88	* MadScientist: He is an evil scientist and inventor whose power is apparently SuperIntelligence. [[spoiler:Although that's just what he and Eva told the kids to stop them asking questions about why he didn't have a superpower. His skills with science and invention are really just natural intelligence]].
89	* SmugSnake: There's hardly ever a time where he ''isn't'' smug and arrogant, regardless of whether he actually has the skills and know-how to back it up.

100
101	* AmbiguouslyBi: Her behavior when she meets Starling is very much that of a crush. She also feels attracted to a young adult version of Colby.
102	* BewareTheNiceOnes: She did not take [[spoiler:Declan's betrayal]] well at all. She blasts him with a Fusion Blaster while rescuing the Maddens and ultimately finishes him off with a Vaporizer.
103	* GenkiGirl: She is a perpetually sunny girl (who's literally in the Sunshine Club) who takes it upon herself to be the villainous Amy's friend and good influence.
104	* LoonyFan: She acts a bit ''too'' excited when she and Jake get to meet Starling at a convention, putting her off. When Starling later gives Jake her number, she makes it clear she's ''not'' going to give it to Hartley.
105	* OnlyOneName: Her last name has not been given.
106	* TheNotLoveInterest: Due to Amy lacking any real romance in the show, Hartley ends up fulfilling a lot of roles that would go to a love interest in another show. Hartley is constantly trying to help Amy be a better person and is the only non-family member that Amy shows regular care for. When Shadow replaces Amy, Hartley is the only person who can tell that she is not Amy. Amy also repeatedly says how Hartley has helped make her life better and is the reason that she is becoming a better person.
107	* RedOniBlueOni: Played with. Amy's the Red to Hartley's Blue, being more mischievous and rebellious (red) while Hartley's more well-behaved and responsible (blue). However, she's also more calm and reserved (blue), while Hartley's more excitable and loud (red).
108	* RoyaltiesHeir: It's not clear how rich her family became as a result, but one of her ancestors invented the turtleneck.
109	* SecretKeeper: She learns the Maddens' secret during the first episode. The second episode revolves around their unnecessary attempts to blackmail her into keeping it.
110	* UnwittingPawn: She is this to Oculon aka Declan, who uses her friendship with Amy to lure him to the Maddens and strike them down.

122
123	* CoolOldLady: She can bench-press her granddaughter Hartley.
124	* {{Expy}}: She is very similar to Patricia Belcher's character Mrs Dabney in ''Series/GoodLuckCharlie''. Both are stone-faced senior ladies who take no nonsense and invite themselves over at will.
125	* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Celia is not aware that her tenants are retired villains, and some of the hi-jinks revolve around making sure it stays that way.
126	* OnlyOneName: Her last name has not been given.

137
138	A superhero who is the arch-enemy and later “frenemy” to Havoc.
139
140	* BeingGoodSucks: Once it gets out that she helped hide the Maddens from the superhero community, she gets stripped of her rank and cast out of the superhero community. Amy, of all people, ends up helping rectify this.
141	* CelebritySuperhero: She is part of a reality show with other superheroes, has many online followers and sponsors her own product line. However, she doesn't display the insincerity usually associated with this trope and is a genuinely NiceGirl who sometimes acts SpoiledSweet at worst. She saved Chaos from falling off a building for no other reason than it being the right thing to do and later [[spoiler:breaks up with Jake because she doesn't want to come between him and his family]].
142	* SecretKeeper: She learns that the Maddens are undercover in Valley View after figuring out that Jake is Chaos, but decides not to tell other superheroes about it.

170
171	* ArcVillain: He is the recurring villain appearing in the second half of Season 1.
172	* BitchInSheepsClothing: Oculon is Onyx's top sidekick, who serves as the ArcVillain of Season 1 and happens to trace Surge's electrical output all the way to Valley View and find out where the Mayhems are, thus he poses as an exchange student named Declan to woo Hartley into giving him access to the Madden household and strike at them when they least expect it.
173	* MasterActor: He puts on a perfect act of being a friendly, well-meaning student who's befriended Hartley and wants to be on good terms with the Maddens, to point where nearly everyone falls for it, including the Maddens -- sans Amy. Heck, if the show wasn't about villains undercover and trying to blend in, ''you'' probably wouldn't suspect a thing either.
