* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Due to Joey's very feminine features, some fans jokingly theorize that Joey ''really is'' a girl.
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The opening and ending, as well as the BGM for when Minami first appears.
** Heck, the Giant Spheres have their own awesome theme music. That's probably why they're [[ThemeMusicPowerUp unstoppable.]]
** Let's not forget the music that plays during the trailer for Manga/{{Heroman}}, which is reused during the final battle with Kogorr and after [[spoiler: Heroman defeats Minami.]]
** The second opening, it's just ''good''.
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgl0f0k72-0 Latin American opening]] is also worth of mention. [[JustHereForGodzilla There was people who only watched the show for the opening.]]
* ClicheStorm: The most common criticism toward the show.
* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Lord Kogorr]] is the leader of the [[AliensAreBastards Skrugg race]], who takes Professor Denton's peaceful attempt at first contact as an invitation to invade Earth by attacking Center City with his army. The Skrugg's advanced weaponry wipes out countless cops, soldiers, and civilians alike, while he has teenagers Will and Nick [[PlayingWithSyringes experimented on]] to serve as mind-controlled mutant warriors. When Will manages to break free from the traumatic process, [[BadBoss Kogorr]] kills the scientist in charge [[YouHaveFailedMe for failure]], then after being defeated by Joey and Heroman, Kogorr sets his base to explode with his own troops still inside. Upon being revived by his followers much later, Kogorr [[DevourTheDragon consumes them all to empower himself]], seemingly [[HeroKiller slays Heroman]], and begins drilling into Earth's core to destroy the planet, taunting Joey with a fate he has apparently inflicted on many worlds before.
* CrackPairing: Joey-Heroman fanart has become rather popular, especially after episode nine, and helped not at all by how [[ViewerGenderConfusion confusing Joey]] can be and that his mom and dad look just like him and Heroman, respectively.
* CrazyIsCool: Half the stuff Denton comes up with simply could not have been conceived by a sane, rational mind. Doesn't limit its effectiveness, though.
** Then there's Holly. Investigating serial kidnapping in Central City? Forcing Joey and Psy to dress like stereotypical detectives? In attempt to lurk into hospital forcing them all to RecursiveCrossdressing? Drinking so strong coffee with so much sugar that her head would explode?
* EpilepticTrees: Heroman is kinda looking like Joey's dad, hmm...
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Ms. Collins, the hot red haired homeroom teacher, was featured in ''way'' more fanart than the few seconds of showtime in the first eleven episodes would indicate. She has become part of the comedic plot in episode 12, and was involved in Episodes 18 and 19, mostly concerning FanService.
* HarsherInHindsight: An anime set in America, made by one of the most [[Creator/StanLee prolific comic creators]] ever... and the U.S never got a dub of it because of distribution disagreements. The joys of irony eh?
* HilariousInHindsight: Will, the resident Expy of Flash Thompson, [[spoiler: ended up becoming an Expy of Venom]]. in ComicBook/SpiderMan comics released around the period the ''Heroman'' anime was, [[spoiler: Flash Thompson became Venom]].
* HoYay: Quite a bit between Joey and Psy.
** Psy ''smacks Joey's ass'' in 18...
** ... and refers to his friend as 'my hero' in episode 22.
** Don't forget that time when Denton thought Psy was going on a date with Joey.
*** Theres also a bit between Hughes and his subordinate Howard, who seems to idolize his boss a little ''too'' much.
*** Seems to be a little between Hughes and Joey, in the way that Hughes cares for him quite a lot, even though they haven't gotten to know each other much yet.
* IKnewIt: Viewers correctly guessed that [[spoiler:Will was the one in the overcoat and hat.]]
* MemeticMutation: One day after the first episode aired and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eJJq47AJ_o Stan Lee asking Joey for his coffee has achieved this status.]]
** Shopping Joey's head on some things is also a meme.
* NightmareRetardant: Some of Minami's ''other'' expressions, meanwhile, are... less than scary. [[LaughablyEvil Probably intentional.]]
* OneSceneWonder: Stan.
* OnceOriginalNowCommon: This was the first anime of the 2010's do feature American superhero tropes, before series like ''Anime/TigerAndBunny'' and, of course, ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' did the same. Unlike the latter, ''Heroman'' did not see any mainstream success despite being Stan Lee's passion project, nor did it get a sequel like the former, likely due to Lee's passing.
* UglyCute: The MR-1. Just look at that mouth and try not to smile.
* ViewerGenderConfusion: Despite material clearly stating that Joey is male, Joey's appearance in both the anime and manga, his voice, and his {{keet}} attitude, had many viewers thinking he was a girl.
* TheWoobie: Lina's progress in her relationship with Joey tends to get dampened by her [[spoiler:separation from her brother Will]] and by [[spoiler:constantly getting LockedOutOfTheLoop by Joey and the others.]] The latter doesn't sit too well with Lina in episode 23 when she discovers [[spoiler:Joey kept it a secret that he previously encountered Will.]]
