* SixthRanger: Becomes this to Dirk and co. [[EleventhHourRanger in the finale.]]

* EvilIsSexy: Hugo certainly seems to think so.

* IncompetenceInc: A public-sector equivalent. While the supernatural does in-fact exist, Blackwing's inability to properly prove any of it really exist has resulted in a widespread containment breach of the Subjects and too little a budget to do anything other than observe those they haven't completely lost from a distance. According to Dirk, this is because their very mission is doomed to fail because they try to "contain the uncontainable", and thus they are essentially fighting a losing battle against the universe itself.

* MeaningfulName: His Blackwing name is is "Project Icarus", named after the figure of Myth/ClassicalMythology who flew close to the sun with wax wings and fell to his death. Perfect for a guy who throws himself into bizarre situations with little sense of consequence.

* MeaningfulName: Her Blackwing designation, Project Marzanna, refers to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marzanna a Slavic goddess]] associated with death and rebirth; Bart definitely has the "death" part down, but the jury's out on the Rebirth angle.

* HurtingHero: He's devastated by [[spoiler: his partner's death]], to the point of walking out of the Seattle police department and engaging in a suicidal campaign against the Men of the Machine.

* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:After faking pararibulitis to his family in order to get their money, and lying for years to his sister about being cured of it, he really contracts the disease. He seems to have accepted this as punishment for his lies by the second season.]]
