3 | This is the tale of a government-sanctioned class for super-powered humans, offered as part of the curriculum in a small-town university in upstate New York. The university gets extra funding, the students get course credit and special powers training, the government gets a well-trained, civic-minded generation of super-powered humans with some measure of debt and/or gratitude toward them; everybody's happy. At least, in theory. On Hiatus since Christmas 2012. |

6 | |
7 | * AGodAmI: Nefarius. He's more or less right. |
8 | * BadassTeacher: Coach Julian. He ''is'' a superhero, after all. |
9 | * TheCasanova: Manny. |
10 | * CodeName: They're not supposed to have them. |
11 | * CoolTeacher: Again, Coach Julian. |
12 | * {{Cyborg}}: Karne, Manny's kind-of boyfriend. |
13 | * DopeSlap: Ruby to Iain. |
14 | * ExtranormalInstitute: Obviously, although it's more of a "course" than an "institute." |
15 | * {{Fanservice}}: The shower scene. |

17 | * MistakenForGay: Iain. |
18 | * MundaneUtility: Ruby uses her power to start the stove because the ignitions broken. |

20 | * PowerTrio: Iain, Ruby, and Manny. |
21 | * PsychicPowers: Manny, although not in the typical sense. He knows subconsciously exactly what to say/do to get what he wants. This makes him very good at talking people into bed. He's also used it to talk a veritable god out of leaving Earth, at least temporarily. He is, according to his bio on the cast page, "potentially the most powerful telepath on the planet." |
22 | * SecretIdentity: It was Iain's secret identity being penetrated that set off the plot. |
