* ArchEnemy: An invoked subversion. As the twins' family states, those who have a deep connection with Baek Morae, such as [[{{Foil}} Naga]] or [[BigGood Dana]], will find it difficult to kill Baek Morae because they have all the more reason to deliberate if [[CantKillYouStillNeedYou killing him is the right choice]]. If anyone would kill him, it would be an ordinary person that Baek Morae doesn't even acknowledge.
* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: He can pretty much cure all illnesses in the world, making him too useful to simply die. He's well aware of this and has no issue with guilt-tripping people into sparing him.

* BrilliantButLazy: Deconstructed. Naga has zero ambition and generally does the average he needs to as a hero--something he occasionally gets called out on, and many people would rather make better use of his incredible powers. However, the question then is if being a BornWinner means that Naga should be denied the right to live his life, and Naga himself is annoyed at the people who claim he's doing nothing, given that being a superhero is already going beyond. He's helping people out on a regular basis--why should that not be enough?
* TheHero: Subverted. Naga's the protagonist, but he's not the main problem-solver, nor does he want to be (not to mention he's the newbie hero and still a kid--his colleagues aren't about to dump all the responsibility on him). It's rather telling that he doesn't know much about what goes down in the series finale and is simply told afterwards; he's just one cog in the organization.

* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: To no one's surprise, given Baek Morae's record of being delusional.

However, as Naga retorts, Raptor is surrounded by loved ones and a strong support system, and so Baek Morae's ultimate goal is nothing more than self-satisfaction.

* EarlyBirdCameo: Like Haze, she can be first seen in Sasa's ImagineSpot of what would happen if Dana put him on a team of people who'd tease him.
* EtTuBrute: She genuinely ''did'' care for Baek Morae, making it all the worse for her when he betrayed that trust. Even in the present, when asked to write down about her experiences with him in the interest of information, she can only reflect over the happy memories she had with him, before tearing up the paper.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: In the past. [[spoiler:She told Baek Morae that there was nothing wrong with him being happy that the director--who'd made him into an experiment--was dead... leading to him forsaking his moral compass altogether and deciding that anything he did was okay if it made him happy.]] Suffice to say that Raptor hadn't quite meant for him to take it to ''that'' extreme.

* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: You'd think that with Haze's personality, their relationship would be a case of AllGirlsWantBadBoys. However, in flashbacks of when they first met, one can tell by the way Raptor smiles at Haze looking after Stell what it was that drew her to him.
* EarlyBirdCameo: First seen in Sasa's ImagineSpot of what would happen if Dana put him on a team of people who admire him.
* TheChewToy: He's constantly getting injured. Fortunately (?) for him, according to Haze he apparently has a reputation of also being unkillable, as he manages to survive every situation he's ever in.
* TheConfidant: He's typically the one Naga goes to talk to about his troubles, particularly when he doesn't feel comfortable confiding in his Spoon coworkers.
* ConflictingLoyalty: Between Spoon, whom he still feels a strong affiliation for (Dana and Naga, particularly), and Young Jeong, as well as the executives in general. He tends to be caught in the middle between them.

* TenderTears: Quite possibly the character most prone to crying.
* BadBoss: She doesn't exactly care about Dune's emotional well-being, and she [[spoiler:kills Songha--her most loyal subordinate--for disobeying orders]].
* BrokenAce: She strove to be TheCape to the extreme--someone so utterly devoted to heroics that they discarded their personal humanity. [[spoiler:To the extent that she had her lover (willingly) kill himself so that he could never tie her down.]] Unsurprisingly, she's now barely better than the villains she's supposed to be against.

* TheFundamentalist: [[spoiler:She has very strict standards for what a hero should be and believes that while nice people, virtually all of Spoon are failures. Naga is the only one she sees any potential for, and she ''will'' groom him into becoming the next her, so to speak. When he makes it clear that he just wants an ordinary life, with heroics as a conventional career, she's ''pissed'' and acts as if he's committing an unforgivable crime for not wanting to dedicate his entire person to being a hero.]]
* TheParagon: A dark example. She tries to inspire Naga to be more devoted to being a hero... [[spoiler:and reacts ''badly'' when she realizes he's content as he is now, because as far as she's concerned, he should be like her and abandon his entire humanity so that he can focus solely on being the perfect hero.]] It's evident that she's shoving her own ideals onto others without any regard for their actual desires.
* TautologicalTemplar: She's considered the greatest hero of the century and she ''knows'' it. Unfortunately, this means it's utterly impossible to convince her that she's wrong of anything--after all, everything she does, she does as a hero.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: "Villain" is maybe a bit of a stretch, but she enjoys fame and respect as most of her shadier side remains hidden. [[spoiler:After her death, everyone mourns her, while Naga keeps quiet about what she did to him shortly before Baek Morae killed her.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Everything she does is for the ultimate good of the world. What she does, however, involves deliberately letting Baek Morae run free (which included [[spoiler:letting all of Dune's comrades die]]), having [[spoiler:Songha betray Spoon to join Knife]], driving Naga's emotional stability into the ground, among other things. In particular, she despises the SmallStepsHero, which should speak volumes about how she perceives morality.
