* {{Adorkable}}: Sydney, with her big round glasses, superhero shirts, and annoying-yet-oddly-charming personality.
* ArcFatigue: More than a few people have complained about the length of the fight with Vehemence, a fact exacerbated by some pacing issues and a twice-a-week update schedule. The author [[WordOfGod is aware of this however]], and intends to avert this in the future.
* AwesomeEgo: Deus is entertainingly egomaniacal. To give an idea, he prefers "megalomaniac" to "narcissist" because [[http://grrlpowercomic.com/archives/1954 "It just sounds cooler"]] -- while denying that either applies to him, because he can back up his claims.
* BaseBreakingCharacter:
** Deus is either loved for being both CrazyPrepared and being highly skilled at XanatosSpeedChess, or seen as annoyingly favored by the narrative. His AwesomeEgo is either a huge plus or the worst thing about him.
** Maxima. Some are sick of her and believe her power level makes fights boring (although even Max has been challenged from time to time), while others love her interactions with Sydney and the rest, and see the super battles as beside the point since her influence on Syd's character development is more important.
* CrazyIsCool: Achilles abusing his invulnerability to do things like block swords with his ''eyeball'' just to shock the villain into dropping her sword.
* DracoInLeatherPants: Deus has attracted a cheering section who seem to believe that he's not really a supervillain, what with building up his chosen nation's economy and infrastructure, eliminating corruption, and immeasurably improving his subjects' standard of living. Deus having eliminated the previous king, who would not cede power to him, is portrayed as entirely reasonable, since the guy was an awful ruler. His fans also regard cutting a path to the sea through a neighboring country as "the ends justify the means", somewhat ignoring that he's declared ''war'' on a sovereign nation. Now that he has [[https://grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-1024-a-squeaky-clean-leader/comment-page-2/#comment-946149 explained his plan]] to take over the continent of Africa via forming a compulsory economic union, using his armies as leverage on those who might not want to join, his fans are somehow even ''more'' enthusiastic.
* EvilIsCool: Those who didn't succumb to ArcFatigue over their respective involvements with the story find Vehemence and Sciona to be awesome villains.
* FanficFuel: One of the masked vigilantes that Archon is looking for to invite to the team looks a lot like Webcomic/{{Spinnerette}}, leading to the suggestion that they might be part of the same universe.
* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: [[Heartwarming/GrrlPower Has its own page.]]
* HilariousInHindsight: InUniverse, as the [[https://grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-868-going-native/ alien tourist]] sporting a HumanDisguise is doing so because "Such beauty am I that all [[VomitDiscretionShot undigest]]", presumably meaning he considers ''himself'' so lovely that others vomit at the sight of him. When his tour group is accosted by the alien smugglers that are fleeing the Supers, [[https://grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-929-the-technicolor-yawn-is-in-the-eye-of-the-beholder/ he lets down his disguise]], and as his [[MyHovercraftIsFullOfEels similarly-English-challenged]] companion puts it...
-->'''Purple Alien''': So beauti- ''**''
* IronWoobie: Before she TookALevelInBadass, Maxima was [[http://grrlpowercomic.com/archives/2074 just a frightened teenage girl going through physiological changes]] that ''nobody'' understands.
** It rises again [[https://grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-957-dabbler-has-a-cunning-dot-plan/ when she's given a chance]] to [[IJustWantToBeNormal look more normal]].
* LesYay:
** Dabbler, being a succubus, cause this merely by being in the same scene as other women.
--->'''Sydney:''' Not a lesbian. Not a lesbian. Not a lesbian.
** Suzie News/Wen gets ''very'' excited when talking about Maxima.
** When pointing out why she's [[ACupAngst insecure about her body]], [[https://grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-535-the-best-defensiveness-is-a-good-offensiveness/ Sydney points to]] Anvil's breasts, Varia's abs, and Jiggawatt's butt in turn. Jiggawatt starts to take offense, but Sydney tells her not to try the false modesty, as she ''knows'' "your butt looks like a delicious chocolate peach."
--->'''TheRant:''' [[LampshadeHanging Now HR has to add the specific phrase]] "Delicious Chocolate Peach" to the manual.
** Upon first meeting Deus' assistant, Maxima responds to her gloating by getting up and introducing herself, smiling. Considering how the date had gone, it comes across as Maxima starting to flirt with Deus' assistant.
* NauseaFuel:
** [[https://grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-893-ima-punch-you-so-hard/ Hench Wench punching Mr. Amorphous in the back of the head]] leads to his head distorting horribly from the mouth on out. ''Shudder''
** Cora makes a criminal explode into LudicrousGibs. Sydney is [[https://grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-913-the-purge/ understandably disgusted]] and [[VomitDiscretionShot finds herself throwing up]] for some time. Even Concretia is uncomfortable with it.
--->'''Concretia:''' I'll admit I've imagined slowly crushing that guy's skull until his eyes burst [...] But I still have to ask: '''what is wrong with you?'''
* NightmareFuel: [[NightmareFuel/GrrlPower Has its own page.]]
* {{Spoiler}}: The cast page originally showed two extra powers of Sydney's, but these were changed to "two she doesn't know about" to preserve a plot point. Later, superpower details were removed entirely.
* {{Squick}}: Steak knife. Kicked into someone's mouth. It lodges between their teeth and in their gums. Aaaaaaaauuuuuuuugh.
* {{Tearjerker}}: While it only lasts one page [[https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-1237-sob-story/ Lapha's backstory]] is pretty rough. She's essentially from a race of magical ArtificialIntelligence that can reproduce...with risks. Usually when it's only two being reproducing, like with her parents, it's safe...but something went wrong anyway. Lapha spent the first two weeks or so of her life watching her parents "slowly glitch into oblivion" in front of her, dying while she could do nothing but call out for "Mama" and "Papa" from within the creation matrix. After that? A life on the streets in a cruel universe. ''Yikes''. No wonder Sydney started bawling.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Two-fold in the crossover with ''Literature/WearingTheCape''.
** The first is that it firmly establishes that ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' is fictional in this universe which not only eliminates many interesting opportunities given Math, but this also means there can't be any expies.
** The second was that we never got to Maxima's reaction to the ArtInitiatesLife version of Happōsai.
** Played with as WordOfGod states there is still a possibility as up until the crossover ''Wearing the Cape'' was fictional in the ''Grrl Power'' universe.
