* CapePunk: The book Deconstructs the NinetiesAntiHero and UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfComicBooks by having Gary disgusted by heroes who kill and overly psychopathic villains. It also serves as a DeconReconSwitch because Gary, himself, is a well-written NinetiesAntiHero. The book, notably, treats LighterAndSofter superheroes significantly more sympathetically than most examples of the {{Capepunk}} genre.

Cool Loser TRS cleanup, has been renamed to Unconvincingly Unpopular Character and is a YMMV audience reaction.


* CoolLoser: Gary is a relatively ordinary guy, if a bit of a dork, and is generally not treated with very much respect, even by his friends and family. In spite of this, he's incredibly powerful, improbably successful and has a romantic history with scads of incredibly beautiful women, including Ultragoddess, the most powerful woman on the planet.

You Have To Have Jews is no longer a trope.


* YouHaveToHaveJews: Both Gary, Cindy, and all of Gary's family (but Mandy) are Jewish. They also appear to be Jews of Polish descent.

* PragmaticHero: The Nightwalker makes numerous references to how he subverted being TheCowl for pragamtic practical reasons. [[spoiler: He's also subtly directing Gary against supervillains and for the public good now that he's a ghost.]]
