* AdaptationalHeroism:
** King Lycaon, the first werewolf in Classical Mythology, is a sociopathic sadist who murders a baby and is punished by Jove/Zeus by being turned into a bloodthirsty wolf. In this series, Lycaon is a loving husband and father with his worst crimes adapted out.
** In Egyptian Mythology, Set is a GodOfEvil who would mercilessly war with his siblings Isis and Osiris and nephew Horus. While in the past he used to be evil in this series as well, Set has in the present mellowed out and is a devoted father and grandfather and ally to the Dark Hunters against the forces of evil.
** Ares is one of the more brutal and evil of the Classical Mythology Olympians. Here he's a pretty level-headed guy for the most part and helps the heroes a couple of times.

* HijackedDestiny: Acheron spent centuries begrudging Styxx for being raised as the Crown Prince, believing that Styxx stole his birth right since Ash was first born. However, it is revealed in Styxx's book that Styxx was fated to be a powerful, once in a generation chthonian, but when Ash was hidden in Styxx's mother's womb and his life force tied to Styxx to protect Ash, he not only disrupted Styxx birthright of being the only son of the king, but also stole Styxx's chthonian powers, leaving Styxx with a centuries of debilitating headaches as his psyche tries to manifest powers that should be there but aren't. Styxx does not properly regain his powers until he is killed and reborn over a millennia later after centuries of being punished by people who love Acheron and blindly view Styxx as the "bad guy".

** Appollites are to die painfully at the age of 27, due to a curse from [[JerkassGod The Greek God, Apollo]]. They have fangs as well, and must feed from each other until they die. To circumvent this early death, they can choose to "go Daimon" by taking human souls into their bodies. This makes them targets of Dark Hunters.

** Nick has I deal with ''a lot'' of these. First there's Stone, who harasses him for his low income and also goads him into fights in order to get the rest of the school to think he's a delinquent and have him kicked off the football team. There's also Nick's first principal, who's view of Nick and his family isn't very different from that of Stone. His next principle isn't very different, and the second coach ''blackmails him into stealing things from the students at his school.''
