* DoubleStandard: Alex considers the Shop's treatment of Charlie, kidnapping her and her father and experimenting to see what they can do, to be beyond the pale; she doesn't ask the Shop employees about their motivations, just writes them off. But part of the reason Shar is placed with her family is to make use of her pyrokinetic abilities for defence of their family in an emergency, just as the Shop would have wanted Shar to fight in America's defence. And the SRI does still have Shar perform experiments to test her capabilities; they don't force her, as the Shop would have done, but an eight-year-old can't really give consent anyway. And when Shar turns up without permission to [[spoiler:fight Gojira]], Alex reluctantly lets her stay, despite the extreme danger, because Shar's firepower is needed, and many lives are at stake -- just as the Shop might have set aside the usual rules to have her fight when the stakes are high. And when Colonel O'Neill has to make hard decisions for the greater good, like [[spoiler:setting fire to the forest around the Spencer Mansion to contain the T-virus]] despite his own people being in the way, Alex approves, so apparently she does believe in the principle that IDidWhatIHadToDo. And she doesn't personally kill, but if the soldiers alongside her shoot people, she accepts that they do what they must. She certainly has higher moral standards than the Shop, but perhaps they're not as different as she imagines...

Added DiffLines:

* CompactInfiltrator: Alex's silvery puddle form is excellent for squeezing through air vents and similar passageways, especially when she can use telekinesis to undo bolts and otherwise clear the way. It's endlessly useful for infiltration, such as sneaking into a bank to get the drop on robbers and rescue their hostages, plus she can get back into her own house without using the doors to protect her SecretIdentity from the neighbours.

* CombatMedic: Riley Finn serves as this, being both a highly skilled soldier and a medic. His wife, Samantha Finn, might also count, being a Peace Corps doctor who always carries a gun.

** When being checked over by Dr Havens, George Mack internally thinks he should probably refer to the doctor as a medic instead, since he's wearing urban camos and a
gun.

* {{Wedgie}}: [[spoiler:Barbara Mack]] uses telekinesis to yank her captor up into the air by his underpants, making him screech "like a banshee".

** Alex uses her telekinesis to dry her hair, dust multiple rooms at once, move packing boxes, and help her eat more food. Her electrokinesis allows her to charge batteries, as well as light welding/cutting. And she uses constant arcing between her hands as a torch.

Catchphrase has been disambiguated. Removing for not fitting any other tropes.


* CatchPhrase: Shar adopted hers from the Iron Giant. [[spoiler:It's also a very sad case of {{Foreshadowing}}.]]
