9* AncientArtifact: Audrey’s Blessed Collar and Dustin’s arrowhead necklace, as well as Thor’s hammer.
10* AnimeHair: The titular character has a hairdo that looks to be a cross between Lisa Simpson and Goku.
11* BerserkButton: Don't ever mess with Audrey's friends or family!
12* ClarkKenting: She makes no attempt to fool those closest to her, but no one else in the city seems to notice that Incandescence and Audrey Hammond are both petite blondes with green eyes who run around in tights all day and are never in the same place at the same time. The only difference is the hairstyle!

14* CombatStilettos: Incandescence has no problem running or fighting in 5-inch heels.

16* CostumeTestMontage: There's one of these in the first issue.
17* FiveManBand: The Complex B team introduced in issue three fits the archetypes well.
18* FlyingBrick: Flight, super strength, super toughness and electric powers.
