* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Owen is, above and beyond everything, a hero. He's always ready to drop everything at a moment's notice in order to help someone in need, even if that someone is a person he doesn't like. He's generous, usually willing to give people a second chance, and when all is said and done he cares a lot more about saving lives than he does about his personal image and comfort. But for all that... he's ''still'' a bit of a jerk. He's extremely arrogant and often takes his own superiority for granted, he jumps to conclusions about people and treats them with disdain based on those conclusions. Often he's downright condescending to people he views as "lesser." And he has a ton of prejudices that he isn't even aware of. Part of his CharacterDevelopment is to recognize and overome these flaws in himself.

* FashionModel: Her role as a PEER is partly treated as this, as several of her sponsors are makeup and fashion brands. She does photo shoots and modeling, and is essentially always "on camera" -- even stopping to pose in the middle of clearing out debris. Not out of vanity but because part of her ''job'' is to never let anyone get an unflattering photo of her.

* ManlyGay: After coming out of the closet, and after he stops hiding from the world, Owen pretty much settles into this role. A man's man who is attracted to other men.

* HeelRealization: He goes through two notable ones. The first, and most dramatic one, he goes through before the book starts, after he's been thoroughly called out by Roy for his decision to not only leave his family but quit the hero business entirely after the afore-mentioned scandal. The second one is a little more gradual and subtle: he starts out thinking of the "Corpies" as lesser heroes, who don't have what it takes to become ''actual'' heroes, who spend their time playacting, and who don't deserve much respect. As the story goes on and he gets to actually know his teammates and other PEERS (as well as getting a few TheReasonYouSuck speeches), he comes to realize just how unfair he's been to them, and begins taking them much more seriously.

The first, and most dramatic one, he goes through before the book starts, after he's been thoroughly called out by Roy and Hershel for his decision to not only leave his family but quit the hero business entirely after the afore-mentioned scandal. As the story goes on, though, we seen that he'd already come to this realization on his own and his sons' calling out of his actions was mostly the final kick he needed to feel bad enough that he actually decided to ''do'' something about it.

The second one is a little more gradual and subtle: he starts out thinking of the "Corpies" PEERS as lesser heroes, a glorified cleanup crew who don't have what it takes to become ''actual'' heroes, who spend their time playacting, and who don't deserve much respect. At the start of the story he's ''not'' happy about having to "babysit Corpies," and though he's civil enough to them, he can't quite subdue his mild disdain for both them and his situation. As the story goes on and he gets to actually know his teammates and other PEERS (as well as getting a few TheReasonYouSuck speeches), he comes to realize just how unfair he's been to them, and not only his teammates but to PEERS in general. He begins taking them much more seriously.seriously, and works pretty hard on adjusting his attitude from then on, even if it takes a little time for him to be completely rid of it.


Added DiffLines:

* ManipulativeBastard: An unusually benevolent and honest version. He's ''good'' at steering people in the direction he wants them; not only the heroes he works for, but also other people like opponents and to a lesser extent the public opinion. Unlike most examples of the trope, Lenny is completely honest about what he's doing, citing it as part of his job as an agent and pointing out that his goal is to make his clients look as good as possible.

Added DiffLines:

* OldShame: Her first summon was [[spoiler: a giant rabbit in medieval armor named Hopcules,]] which definitely clashes with her PerkyGoth image.


Added DiffLines:

* OldShame: He once crapped his pants at a sports tournament. Since he couldn't just ditch it, he instead strapped his helmet on over his crotch and rode out in the nude, pushing a bad boy angle.
