* BreakThemByTalking: A few do attempt this in conjunction with some of their power sets and, considering Emp and Spooky's low self esteem, it nearly does work a few times. [[spoiler: Ironically, the final Ashley is beaten like this herself when Spooky gives her TheReasonYouSuckSpeech after figuring out something crucial about how she made her deal.]]

* EntitledBitch: ''All'' of them think Spooky doesn't "deserve" her power (which I.S.P purposefully keeps encouraging) citing it unfair she got more in her package then they did. Granted Spooky agrees but naturally knows that wasn't even her fault.
* EvilGloating: What lead to a lot of their downfalls. They just can't resist the urge to talk smack, especially if they have the duo at their mercy, giving time for Spooky and Emp to counter them. Even I.S.P lampshades this in the final fight, yelling at the last Ashley to kill the pair already when she has them at her mercy.
* HomeFieldAdvantage: I.S.P tries to help them a bit by giving them domains in the construct to use their magic more effectively while nerfing Emp and Spooky's powers. However they, well, ''are'' dumb blondes to a fault and one slip up during their gloating is usually all that's needed for the two to turn things around on them. Likewise Emp and Spooky are superheroes and have more than enough experience dealing with bad guys.

* KidsAreCruel: Pretty much their motif. All are catty girls who were trying to fit in and turned to the Infernal Service Provider to be more beautiful, bullying others who didn't follow their ways. This is reflected on how each one attacks the pair which in turn is a experience Spooky had to endure while going through high school: Texting, art, frogs from science dissections assignments, graffiti on bathroom walls, mirrors, etc.
* OrcusOnHerThrone: The head Ashley usually spends most of her time on her throne carried by other Ashleys while her number two, Ashlee, orders the others on her behalf. The only time she really does anything is killing one of the Ashleys for questioning her, [[spoiler: killing the others to gain their share of magic through a fire trap designed like a Pep Rally]] and the final battle where she tosses around Emp and Spooky for most of it [[spoiler: before being killed off herself by Ashlee .]]

* YouAreWhatYouHate: [[spoiler: The final Ashley, Ashlee or as she was originally known, Joslyn, is revealed to have be a black girl herself, bullied just as badly as Spooky. However where Spooky took the deal but kept her original race,look and identity, Ashlee went completely Caucasian. Spooky uses this against her in the final battle, filling her with such self loathing that she implodes.]]

* StoryBreakerPower: Theoretically, he could just [[DroppedABridgeOnHim drop a bridge]] [[IncrediblyLamePun on someone]] and be done with it. Probably why he's so nice.

* CatchPhrase: He likes to add "super" to random words.
--> Interesting. No, ''super''-interesting.



* UnderestimatingBadassery: He makes the mistake of believing that he can beat Maidman. He learns the hard way that he can not.

* GutturalGrowler: His word bubbles have [[PaintingTheMedium a noticeably scratchy look to them,]] something also seen with the Superdead. It's noted he sounds pretty much exactly like Hardkore - keep in mind, Hardkore's vocal cords are rotting.

* HiddenDepths: When Emp attempts to embarrass him by leaving gay erotic fanfiction featuring him lying around the Supercrib for him to discover, he's actually secure enough in his masculinity to be ''flattered'' by it, being pleased that enough women find him attractive to ''want'' to write stories like that about him. It's a surprisingly mature reaction for such a normally shallow, immature jerk.

Added DiffLines:

* StylisticSuck: His mangled French is absolutely terrible. As the occasional scenes where Emp speaks French have shown Warren could write better French if he wanted to, suggesting it's Le Chevalier himself, not his writer, who's getting it wrong.

Damsel In Distress is the new name of the trope.
