* TooDumbToLive: Even if the Plutonian wasn't insane, ratting out his secret identity out of jealousy is suicidally bad idea. The Plutonian flat out says that she almost got herself and everyone else killed by his many enemies, who would kill them to get to him.

* AmbiguousSituation: With the revelation that Daniel's FlyingBrick powers [[spoiler:are a byproduct of him warping reality and not because he was actually born with them]] a couple questions come up about the story as a whole. Namely, are there really natural forces that can hurt or kill the Plutonian, or does his PlotArmor and invincibility stem from the same basis as his powers, [[spoiler:meaning he only gets hurt when he believes he can]]? Evidence in the story supports both interpretations.
* AngelUnaware: Played with. He knows naturally that he is superhuman, but he doesn't know why he has these powers, what he is, or where he's from [[spoiler:until his parents show him]].
* ArchEnemy: Nearly anyone can qualify simply because Plutonian did something personally damning to them. However, his true enmity is targeted towards Max Damage and the feeling is mutual; Max's battle against Plutonian back when they were villain and hero respectively is a sour reminder of why Plutonian isn't as good as everyone else or he himself makes him out to be and Plutonian's turn to villainy and the destruction he causes is enough to make Max reflective over his past actions and eventually become a hero himself. Of all the characters, none battle Plutonian
more than Max himself, and Plutonian even comes to respect his opposition and determination in stopping him, even when he makes it clear he is never stopping.
* AttentionWhore: Even back when he was a superhero, he secretly had a massive entitlement complex and believed that everyone should revere him. Finding out that this was never going to be the case is what led him to forgoing heroism entirely. If he couldn't be ''the'' positive influence in everyone's lives, he would be the cause of everyone's suffering.
* AxCrazy: Tony's rage has made him dangerously unstable and his severe [[{{Narcissist}} narcissism]] means pissing him off can be as simple as a mild insult. He takes a lie that a Singaporean ambassador tells him, done out of fear, as a personal affront and destroys the man's entire country [[DisproportionateRetribution as payback]].
* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: With no apparent limits.
* BeingGoodSucks: He ''really'' tried, but regardless, he couldn't save nor please everybody
on Earth. The fact that he was the greatest hero in the world made Plutonian's psyche worse. Though this is not sympathetic as his actual motivations were not out of any concern or remorse over being unable to save others but to be loved by everyone, and this never seemed to be the case. Fully affirmed when he decides to become evil and realizes that being a malevolent destroyer felt more cathartic and satisfying than he ever thought.
* BeneathTheMask: Plutonian was a mentally impaired and damaged individual since his childhood and this was something that was not known to nearly anybody be it the populace of the Earth, villains, nor his fellow members in the Paradigm. Neither was his pathological desire for absolute adoration. He kept a determined, warm, and stern face to hide his troubles and present himself as a hero, which is made all the more shocking when he finally decides its enough and he lets out everything that he truly was.
* BerserkButton: His biggest one was [[CantTakeCriticism his inability to take even the slightest bit of criticism]]. This was brought on by spending his childhood feared, unloved, and bullied, which instilled in him a pathological need to have the entire human race's complete, unconditional love.
** He also doesn't like people lying to him. When a representative of Singapore lied to him out of fear, Tony [[DisproportionateRetribution sunk his whole country]].
** There's also Max Damage, his archenemy. This comes from the fact that [[spoiler:Max knows he was the Coalville Wolf Boy years ago, and as such, Tony knows that he knows Tony's not completely perfect]].
** Ingratitude was another major one as Tony couldn't handle not being loved by everyone despite all his heroism. His trip to the moon for some peace during an attack, which played a major role in his turn, was even brought on by a man he rescued complaining about damage to his boat, causing Tony to get enraged at him.
* BewareTheSuperman: Once he turned to evil. The only person that feared this happening was Hornet.
* BigBad: Even before his turn, Plutonian was on a level well above even his allies. Once he blew up, not even the other bad guys were evil or powerful enough to stop him.
* BigGood: Before his turn. To the point where even the villains (except [[spoiler:Modeus]]) trusted him.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Even before his turn to villainy, it was regularly hinted that Tony wasn't quite the endlessly patient, trustworthy figure he seemed to be and that he had serious issues. Hornet first caught on when Tony accidentally let slip that he'd been spying on his team members and a few people, most notably Max who remembered Tony's time as the "Coalville Wolf Boy", had seen first hand that Tony had serious anger issues and wasn't as perfect as he tried to seem, a fact which infuriated Tony.
* BlessedWithSuck: He didn't have the psychological strength to handle his super-senses -- hearing literally every single cry for help and every little snide comment about him over the cheers drove him increasingly closer to the edge. His [[NighInvulnerability invulnerability]] is also so great that he CantHaveSexEver, since even if he doesn't move, his body hairs would cut through human flesh rather than bend. This becomes rather interesting once it's revealed that Tony is actually [[spoiler:a RealityWarper who's only tapping into the most basic applications of his powers to appear to be a FlyingBrick, so he's really only as strong as he ''thinks'' he is]]. It's never been remarked on, but it's possible to interpret all the "sucky" aspects of his powers as a manifestation of his own martyr complex.
* BornUnlucky: Despite winning the SuperPowerLottery, Tony is just one of those guys who faces one bad thing after another. [[spoiler:Having his psyche based off a women who went mad after killing her child was just the start of his misfortune.]]
* BrokenAce: He is a major winner of the SuperPowerLottery and was the worlds most beloved hero. However, flashbacks show that even before he snapped, he was ''deeply'' badly broken inside.
* BrokenPedestal:
** He serves as one for Samsara, though it's more surprising that this was ''before'' Plutonian became evil. After he made a crucial mistake in the field that left hundreds of children dead [[spoiler:and he initially lied about his role in this tragedy]], his sidekick stopped trusting him. Knowing his closest friend couldn't look up to him the way he used to was one of the last straws. What made it worse was that the people from the lab (where he had [[spoiler:turned over the alien device that led to the tragedy]]) went behind his back and [[spoiler:told Samsara about it, claiming to be too afraid of him to do it themselves]].
** Volt also sees the Plutonian as one. Plutonian helped him control his powers which allowed him to have a normal life. In a flashback, we see him trying to reason with Plutonian, only for Plutonian to rip his arm off.
** Of course, he's this to Planet Earth, the very place which he protected and from whom he sought love and praises from. What's jarring is that ''most'' of Earth already loved and praised him for his heroics, but that wasn't enough. When Plutonian decided to object to everything he stood up for, he quickly turned the appreciation and respect the population had for him into fear, revilement, and disappointment.
** He even serves as one for Max Damage, his arch enemy, of all people. Despite their long history as enemies, Max sincerely believed Tony really wanted to be as heroic and altruistic as he presented himself to be and genuinely admired him for it, even saying he never would've killed him out of respect. The revelation of Tony's true nature shakes him as much as it does Tony's former friends and inspires him to abandon villainy and becomes a hero instead.
* TheCape: He ''was'' the greatest superhero in the world and ''nearly'' everyone, even his arch enemy Max Damage, looked up to him due to him being a beacon of inspiration and hope for others and for using his god-like powers for good. Unfortunately, the fact that ''everybody'' didn't love The Plutonian was a point of contention he never got over and he decided to take the [[BewareTheSuperman opposite direction]]. Evidently, he ditches the cape upon becoming evil.
* CantTakeCriticism: As a hero, he had a big problem letting go of anyone who said anything bad about him, justified or not. Not as big a problem when he becomes a villain, presumably because when you murder people by the millions you stop caring what anybody thinks about you.
* CardCarryingVillain: After turning to villainy, he drops any pretense of being anything other than a gloating, sadistic monster.
* ChangelingTale: [[spoiler:He was an extraterrestrial probe that took on the shape of a human baby by reacting to the emotions of an insane woman that had killed her child.]]
* CorruptedCharacterCopy: Take the tale of Kal-El/Clark Kent and reinterpret it as someone who struggled to adjust to domestic life on Earth, have difficulty controlling his powers, alienated and seriously hurt others, and had self-serving reasons for his heroics as opposed to Superman who did what he did because it was simply the right thing to do, and you get The Plutonian. He's arguably a stronger example than [[ComicBook/TheBoys Homelander]] and [[ComicBook/{{Invincible}} Omni-Man]]; where Superman is the superhero example of [[TheCape inspiration]], [[AllLovingHero kindness]], [[TheParagon and selflessness]], The Plutonian [[TheSociopath represents]] [[BewareTheSuperman the exact]] [[OmnicidalManiac opposite]].
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:He was "born" when the emotion-studying probe released by the Eleos reacted to the strong emotions of an insane woman who went crazy with guilt after killing her child]], was bounced around between several foster families who rejected and feared him, and went through a period where he lived [[spoiler:as a WildChild known by the locals as the "Wolf Boy"]].
* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of the SupermanSubstitute. His background leaves his private motivations as a superhero wildly askew with genuine decency and faith in others and ultimately snaps due to [[UnfitForGreatness not being psychologically capable of bearing the responsibilities and physical complications that come with the powers]].
* DesperatelyCravesAffection: As a result of his unstable childhood and adolescence, Tony is absolutely desperate for praise and adoration and sees heroism as a way to get it. The knowledge that there would always be those who disliked him eventually drove him to snap.
* TheDreaded: After his turn, he becomes this to everyone, heroes, villains, and civilians alike, and with ''very'' good reason.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Due to Tony only seeing heroism as a way to earn the adoration he craved, he became extremely bitter knowing there would always be people who didn't love or respect him, no matter what he did, and he became deeply resentful of humanity for their perceived ingratitude before finally snapping.
* EntitledBastard: Beneath his superhero persona, this is what Tony really was, feeling owed the love and adoration he felt he earned with his heroism and being gradually driven mad by knowing that he'd never be loved by everyone, no matter what he did.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Subverted. He seemed to mourn the deaths of his various foster parents, but its revealed later that he only truly mourned the loss of people who loved him. Later on, he passes up several opportunities to kill Bette Noir and is genuinely afraid of realizing he left her AloneWithThePsycho, but likely because [[CruelMercy he'd see that as too easy a way out]] for someone as close to him as she was. Finally, he makes no attempt to track down and kill Alana, even though she knows he could easily do so, until his return to Earth from captivity, at which point he attacks Max Damage to learn where Alana is with implicitly malevolent intentions.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: He himself doesn't actually understand good and never did. The reason he was TheCape for so long was because of a deep pathological need for mindless adoration brought on by his rough childhood, which instilled in him a selfish need to have humanity's complete, unconditional love. He only craved the personal glory of being a hero, not the true meaning behind it.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: The white parts of his costume get turned red and the red parts go black. Loses the cape too.
* EvilFeelsGood: After years of trying to be a superhero and becoming demoralized, stressed, and upset that he would never be loved by ''everybody'', The Plutonian finds great joy and excitement when that's thrown out the window and starts destroying and killing others. The feeling is so cathartic that Plutonian seemingly overcomes his desire for approval and makes it his goal to terrorize and subjugate others for his sadistic satisfaction.
* EvilIsPetty: Early on, he makes Qubit choose just ten out of four million people in Singapore to save. [[spoiler:In truth, Tony was making Qubit choose ten people so that Qubit would understand what it was like to shoulder all the responsibility of only being able to save a few people while aware that millions more are doomed no matter what. Part of the reason why Tony snapped is that he couldn't take that pressure.]] And why was he destroying Singapore anyway? Because the UN ambassador from there lied to him about why they elected Tony as their absolute monarch.
* {{Expy}}: The Plutonian is one of ComicBook/{{Superman}}, [[spoiler:by the end explicitly]], albeit gone very, very wrong.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: {{Deconstructed|trope}}. Modeus developed an unhealthy crush on him and committed villainy to get his attention.
* ExtraDigits: [[spoiler:He gains an extra finger on each hand like his parents after his powers evolve.]]
* EyeBeams: That can carve lines in ''continents''.
* FaceHeelTurn: He tried to be as straight an arrow as he possibly could, but being privy to humanity's thoughts (even the evil, petty ones) caused him to lash out violently.
* FallenHero: Played with. Plutonian did fall from grace, but he did not dwell in sorrow, opting to just destroy everything instead of facing his mistakes.
* FauxAffablyEvil: After his turn, he still maintains a polite façade when talking to people, but it's pretty obvious he's just faking it and being pretty smug about his actions.
* FlyingBrick: Played with. It's explained that Plutonian [[spoiler:doesn't actually have the powers of a proper FlyingBrick, but can alter the fabric of reality to cause power-like manifestations.]]
* ForTheEvulz: He definitely takes pleasure in his actions. Justified, as he's simply that happy to finally let loose all of his power and stop worrying so much.
* FreudianExcuse: He got tossed from one foster home to another after his families discovered his powers. Several rejected him out of fear, and one mother even killed herself. And then there are the circumstances of his birth -- [[spoiler:he was originally an alien probe that took on a human baby's form after reacting to the powerful emotions of an insane woman who had killed her child, which might have corrupted him from the start]]. He also [[spoiler:lived in the woods as a feral child, known as the Wolf Boy, for a time]]. He was already severely psychologically damaged by the time things began looking up which did not negate nor heal any of the damage he went through prior. [[spoiler:When he finally gets to a (relatively) stable, functional home, his new father's moral strictures also unintentionally give him a ''massive'' sense of entitlement, which is ultimately the final straw on a teetering tower of psychological issues.]]
* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: [[spoiler:He also got a few good lucky breaks like a girlfriend and the love of at least 90% of the human race, but it wasn't enough. His biological parents tell him to his face that the treatment he endured doesn't justify any of his atrocities.]]
* FunWithAcronyms: Turns out his superhero name, the Plutonian, is this, though it's not well-known. PLUTO stands for Piety, Loyalty, Utility, Truthfulness, and Order. [[spoiler:It came from his last foster father.]]
* GeniusBruiser: The Plutonian is very intelligent and manipulative, which makes him that much more dangerous.
* GloryHound: As the series goes on, it becomes increasingly clear that Tony's heroic acts, while they may have had some altruistic element, were largely just a way for him to get the love and adoration he felt he was owed, as a way of making up for getting almost none during his childhood. Tony never cared about doing good for its own sake, only as a way to earn love.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Like Superman when he's angry.
* GoodHairEvilHair: Went from windswept to a buzzcut. Grows ''very'' slightly over the course of the story, not back to the length he had previously but it's noticeably less rounded towards the end in comparison to the beginning.
* GoodWearsWhite: His heroic costume is white and red. He switches to a red and black outfit after he turns evil.
* HeroWithAnFInGood: He tried to stand up for a girl that was being bullied back in his childhood. While a noble thing by default, he vastly underestimated his own strength when a simple shove he gave towards the bully instead knocked him away at high speed, killing him instantly. During his time as a superhero, he also struggled to work reliably with his teammates and come up with decent plans, which is how the sound virus disaster even occurred. On a more pathological note, Plutonian is this [[EvilCannotComprehendGood on a psychological level]] as everything he did as a hero was a way to validate himself as the world's best and most beloved hero and be praised by everybody, something that isn't realistically possible, so accomplish, and Plutonian's fragile mindset meant he couldn't handle not being universally adored, which held disastrous consequences.
* HeroicBSOD: When he realizes just how badly he screwed up with the sound virus.
* HiddenDepths: Despite his status as a beloved hero and inspiration to the world, Tony seriously struggled with both the weight of his responsibilities and the aftereffects of a deeply unhappy childhood where he was shown almost no affection or love. Even after he turns and gleefully slaughters millions at a time, it's shown that Tony is still desperate for love and a part of him wants to become a hero again to regain that, which some of his enemies exploit.
* {{Hypocrite}}: He cites humanity's consistent ingratitude as a major reason for his turn. In reality, most people, even his most bitter enemies like Max, loved and respected him with only a minority still disliking him. Tony, however, couldn't handle anything less than universal adoration and turned against humanity as a whole despite their previous adoration, making him the ungrateful one.
* IJustWantToBeLoved: At his core, Tony suffers from an extreme case of this. All he ever wanted was to be loved and believed constantly performing heroic acts would earn him universal adoration to fill the gap left by his unstable childhood. Tony's continued feelings of loneliness combined with his regular reminders that there would always be people who hated him, no matter what, and his struggles in dealing with the crushing responsibility his powers brought were among the major reasons he eventually snaps.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: Particularly early in his life, when he was jumping between foster parents. Later, he wants to settle with Alana Patel, but messes that up.
* INeverSaidItWasPoison: What first tips off Hornet, who sincerely viewed Tony as his best friend, that he wasn't quite as on the up and up as he liked to appear was Tony casually using the name of Jim's wife in a conversation despite the latter never having told him her name. This tipped him off to the fact that Tony had been spying on his team members and begin to take measures in case he ever snapped.
* IgnoredEpiphany: He does reflect back solemnly on his actions as an evil monster who relishes in carving annihilation towards everybody. It's only for a brief, fleeting moment as he quickly asserts that he feels good about what he's done and continues committing his horrid deeds, learning nothing and having no remorse and shame in what he's done.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: As befits his narcissism, Tony has a serious case of this, even after he becomes a villain. His ego grew so big and so fragile that the constant reminders that he wasn't loved by everyone, no matter how much he did for humanity, caused him to eventually snap.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Ultimately the real reason behind his heroics. While helping people might've been a part of it, deep down he just wanted the unconditional love and devotion of mankind, and a large factor in his decision to turn evil was the realization that he would never get it when he felt it was owed to him. [[spoiler:Best exemplified in a story from when he was a kid; he stayed with a foster family that had a baby boy and accidentally squeezed him too hard, causing the child to have severe and permanent brain damage. Tony loudly rants how ''he'' was the one who really suffered, since the baby would grow up loved and cared for for the rest of his life, but Tony had to be kicked out of yet another foster home.]]
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: Samsara discovering Plutonian's involvement in the sound virus incident that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of children led him to kill the scientists who told him, and soon after the entire city. He showed several signs of instability before that, but this was the straw that broke the camel's back.
* KickTheDog: Plutonian takes just as much joy in his personal crimes as he does in his large-scale massacres.
** In the very first issue, he forces Hornet, his best friend on the Paradigm, to watch him brutally murder his wife and children before badmouthing his daughter and then killing him. Given how powerful he is, there's no other explanation than pure sadism.
--->'''The Hornet:''' Puh-please... Not my daughter too... She's only a little girl...
--->'''The Plutonian:''' I know exactly what she is. She's a carbon bag of atoms and bioelectricity.
** In his spare time, he [[RapeByProxy forces people who look like him and Bette Noir to have sex with each other]], even making the woman say certain phrases during the act.
** Even while taking the time to destroy all of Singapore, he forces Qubit to choose ten specific people who get to live before he'll kill the rest, telling him that now he knows how Plutonian felt during his days as a hero.
** He goes on a live broadcast just to gloat to the world about the millions of people he's murdered, even taking the time to tell one specific person on Earth that he has cancer.
* KryptoniteFactor: A magic candle that nullifies his powers as long as it burns, which is later melted down into a bullet that is the only thing that can hurt him. There's also radiation (not mysterious, exotic sources like the trope namer), just buttloads of it. Like, enough to cause a global extinction nuclear holocaust event, all concentrated on him.
* LackOfEmpathy: As one would expect from a guy who can murder millions without a second thought, Tony is lacking a bit when it comes to empathy after he snaps and it's shown he never had much to start with, seeing other people as existing solely to heap praise on him.
* LightIsGood: During his superhero career, The Plutonian donned a white and red costume which emphasized his nature and reputation as the greatest superhero on Earth. This doesn't last.
* LivingLieDetector: Tony's powers allow him to hear heartbeats and determine if someone is being dishonest. Those who are [[BerserkButton quickly regret trying to deceive him.]]
* LoveHungry: Combined with SecretlySelfish, this was Plutonian down to the core. He was so desperate for ''everyone's'' unconditional love and acceptance that even the slightest criticisms (from bitter {{jerkass}}es that really should've just been tuned out) made him terrified of failure and making any mistakes that could lead to losing everyone's love and admiration for him. When he does make one of those Really Bad Mistakes (which also loses him his sidekick's trust), that's when he basically throws his hands up and says "Fine." His desperation for love results from being bounced between foster homes due to his powers making everyone scared of him.
* LiteralMinded: When his adoptive father told him to never use his powers for personal gain, he took it on board to the point of not informing his foster parents that [[spoiler: his adoptive mother had cancer until it was far too late to treat it.]]
* MeaningfulName: Plutonian's name has a couple of different ones. One meaning can be taken from how it's derived or associated with Pluto, the Roman god that is the {{Expy}} to the more well-known Greek god Hades, God of Death and Ruler of the Underworld. He's also as distant as can be from humanity in general (like the dwarf planet Pluto). Additionally, it's almost a homonym for plutonium, an element that can offer humanity great power but is incredibly dangerous if mishandled.
* MetaOrigin: [[spoiler:In-universe for Franchise/{{Superman}}. Qubit scatters his Eleosan essence across the multiverse and parallel dimensions, some of it getting into the original concepts of Superman for his actual creators in RealLife.]]
* MoodSwinger: Plutonian is very irascible and remarkably unstable, though it is justified by his deeply painful childhood and the fact that [[spoiler:he was an alien probe that took form from a person's conscience and desires. In this case, it was an insane woman who wished for a baby back shortly after killing her own.]]
* MysteriousPast: Up until the final act, even Tony knew nothing of his origins, or even if he's really an alien. The rest of the Paradigm had this to contend with during the first part of the series, as they had very few leads and only small scraps of information to go by to discover what they could on him.
* {{Narcissist}}: Tony obsesses over being adored and only ever helps people out of the hope that they will love him for it. When he goes rogue, he continues this behavior, taking it up to believing he still deserves the undying worship of those around him even as he slaughters them, unable to look at people as anything more than toys for his amusement. As further evidence of his high opinion of himself, he apparently has an elaborate throne in his hideout.
* NighInvulnerability: His body hair is tough enough that it'll cut any human who touches it, and the only things that have even scratched him so far are [[AWizardDidit literal magic powers]] and [[PortalCut teleporting bits of him away]]. He can get knocked around by an opponent of matching physical strength, but he's almost impossible to kill.
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: This happened to him often.
** At one point in his childhood, Tony killed an abusive foster father and thought it would make his foster mother love him. It only really frightened her and eventually, she ended up committing suicide. Tony tried to stop her, but it was already too late.
** In another childhood flashback, Tony tried to defend a girl he befriended by standing up to a bully. When he shoved the other kid away, [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength he accidentally killed him]].
** The whole alien sound virus incident came about from Tony giving a piece of alien technology to a human scientist to study after figuring it would help contribute to humanity.
* OmnicidalManiac: He kills masses of people on a whim after his fall, including all of Singapore.
* TheParagonAlwaysRebels: Toyed with. Of all superheroes, there was little to no suspicion that the Plutonian would ever rebel.
* ThePerfectionist: Deconstructed. His inability to handle criticism, extreme fear of failure, and the fallout from his own mistakes played a major part in his fall.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: By the end of the first few issues, Tony has already singlehandedly killed at least eight million people in the destructions of Sky City and Singapore, with the actual estimates being even higher due to random damage he's caused to the planet along the way.
* PetTheDog: Tony's sole act of genuine kindness after his turn is leaving his and Max Damage's old hometown alone upon Max's request. Tony even says he respects Max's bravery.
* PhysicalGod: [[spoiler:He can alter the physical properties of reality to create manifestations of power. He actually limits himself, since he at first doesn't know about the nature of his powers.]]
* PsychopathicManchild: At his core, Tony is and always has been a child who never grew up and craves nothing more than the affection he never got as a kid, just on a global scale, and never sees heroism as anything more than a means to achieve that. His immature side becomes much more prominent after his turn where his violent mood swings, petty cruelty, and smug sadism all become among his defining traits. Even his rare moments of vulnerability show him as distinctly childlike, crying for attention in a manner very close to a kid crying for their parents.
* RapeByProxy: One of the Plutonian's more bizarre crimes is to kidnap men and women, dressing them up like himself and [[spoiler:Bette]] and make them do the deed while he watches. The women are instructed to cry "Save me!" as they're brought to orgasm.
* RealityWarper: [[spoiler:His ''real'' power, which he's never known about. Essentially, The Plutonian is extremely powerful and has the expected abilities you'd expect of a Superman archetype because he ''believes'' himself to be having those.]]
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: After he turns evil, Tony switches his costume from white and red to red and black, respectively.
* ReplacementGoldfish: [[spoiler:He was this to the mentally ill woman that wished the Eleos' alien probe into the shape of a baby after she regretted killing her own moments before.]]
* TheResenter: Even with all the love and admiration Tony was given, it wasn't enough when he couldn't escape knowing there were people who would never love him, no matter what. For most people, such a fact wouldn't bother them at all, least of all when they already had so much adoration already. But it gradually drove Tony mad until he snapped. A flashback reveals Tony absorbed this behavior from one of his foster fathers who himself resented not getting the acknowledgment and appreciation he thought he deserved for the good deeds he did.
* {{Sadist}}: After becoming a villain, he develops a bloodthirsty need of savoring in people's fears and torment for the sole intent of entertaining himself, likely as a way to get back at the fact that he felt he was ostracized for not doing well enough as a hero. The most notable example is when he kidnaps men and women to dress up as himself and [[spoiler:Bette]] and pretend that the former are raping the latter, with the woman expected to cry "Save Me" upon orgasming. The Plutonian has no practical reason to be doing this other than the fact that he just gets sick kicks out of it.
* SamaritanSyndrome: Before he turned evil. At one point, he flew to the moon just so he could enjoy a ten-minute break from the cries for help... right when [[spoiler:that alien sound virus broke out.]]
* SayingTooMuch: Hornet, who genuinely thought of Tony as his best friend, first picked up on the fact that Tony wasn't quite as trustworthy as he seemed when Tony used the name of Hornet's wife in a conversation, letting slip that Tony had been spying on his team members. This led Hornet to start taking measures to counteract Tony should he ever turn on them.
* SealedEvilInACan:
** [[spoiler:The Vespans trap him in a straitjacket made from fabric created from cloned samples of his own skin. When he proves too erratic for their own needs, they encase him in a diamond container and hurl him into a sun-contained insane asylum.]]
** [[spoiler:His true parents intended to leave him frozen in a dead universe and [[AndIMustScream unable to move]]]].
* SecretIdentity: He seemed to prefer being Dan Hartigan after the foster parents he liked most; to the Paradigm he goes by the name of Tony, and to Max Damage, he will always be [[spoiler:Wolf-Boy]].
* SecretlySelfish: Revealed to have been this all along over the course of the book. He ultimately became a superhero to fulfill his deep-seated desire for love and acceptance (a result of his troubled youth as a foster child being bounced around) coupled with an intense martyr complex imposed on him by his foster parents.
* SlasherSmile: Has a truly frightening one when he reveals he [[spoiler:knew Modeus was possessing Samsara's brain-dead body]].
* SmugSuper: Plutonian is as cocky as he is powerful, and he is '''really''' powerful.
* TheSociopath: The Plutonian is ultimately this beneath all his power and bluster. For one, he is incredibly entitled and freely shows that he doesn't give a damn about anybody if they don't entertain him enough, he cannot create or acknowledge any meaningful relationship with anybody, which is notable as he was part of a superhero team for years, has difficulty managing and containing his emotions, and is a rampaging and homicidal monster who takes great pride in destroying and hurting others for his own gratification. All this leaves behind a soulless, inhumane being that is
The Plutonian, see who will do anything to satisfy his sadistic and self-centered urges.
* SociopathicHero: He is one in an unconventional sense; he ''[[FaceHeelTurn was]]'' a legitimate hero who genuinely tried to help others and save the world from worldly threats, but his mental and emotional psyche was already fractured and tainted. Even during his time in heroics, he showed subtle antisocial traits like being troubled and angry whenever somebody didn't appreciate his actions, lashing out in anger at trivial matters, and prioritizing his needs above his own teammates'.
* SomebodyDoesntLoveRaymond: The critical remarks directed at him were just one in a thousand. But Plutonian had a pathological desire to be loved by literally '''''everyone''''' and knowing that he would never have that played a part in his fall from grace.
* StepfordSmiler: He's the "Unstable" type with more than a few touches of the "Empty/Depressed" kind.
* StoppedCaring: This is ''not'' played for sympathy and instead serves to further The Plutonian's narcissistic nature and desire for universal adoration. When he was a hero, he really cared about the populace in a very warped and selfish sense and extended that towards his teammates, seeing as they were people who fought alongside him and thus, validated his position as a hero. Then he decided to become a villain and that's when he decided to really give up caring about others and let loose all his pent-up rage.
* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: [[spoiler:Deconstructed. Tony's powers are psionic based, so he really is making himself as strong as he subconsciously restricts himself.]]
* SuperHeroOrigin: Not even he knew what his origin was, possessing his powers as far back as he could remember. [[spoiler:Eventually the extraterrestrials, the Eleos, reveal that he was a probe they created from themselves to study the emotions of humans, which was drawn in by the maddened grief of a woman who'd just killed her baby and turned by her will accidentally into a replacement baby with the Eleos' powers.]]
* SupermanSubstitute: He's what happens when you take Superman's immense power, terrifying responsibilities ''and'' deep desire for acceptance, jack them up on steroids, and give them to someone with gaping psychological holes from a far less stable upbringing than Clark Kent. The result: he ''snaps.'' He even provided the image for the BewareTheSuperman trope for a while. [[spoiler:InUniverse, he's actually an [[InvertedTrope inversion]]: at the very end of the comic, Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster are unconsciously inspired by the Plutonian's essence to create Superman in our universe.]]
* SuperpowerLottery: He hit the jackpot big time. If even Superman pulled off some of the stuff Plutonian does without even really trying, he would have just been written off as too broken a
character page [[Characters/IrredeemablePlutonian here]].
[[/index]]
to be handled narratively.
* SuperSenses: To an extent that he can read a person's thoughts by watching electrons travel through neurons in their brain and hear across hemispheres of the Earth.
* SuperSpeed: When he really gets going, he's too fast to see and can perform fairly intricate actions while doing so.
* SuperStrength: He can squeeze asteroids into diamonds and throw them hard enough to sink islands and shoulder-charge opponents through tectonic plates.
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: Plutonian turned rogue when a single mistake he made resulted in the deaths of hundreds of children and Samsara losing faith in him made him feel that nothing he ever did would ever be good enough for the ungrateful masses.
* ThouShaltNotKill: Implied pre-FaceHeelTurn. Tony and his allies remember the struggles against dangerous foes like Modeus but never went beyond incarcerating them, despite having them at his mercy.
* TokenNonHuman: The Plutonian's power was way beyond that of even his super-powered human peers.
* TooKinkyToTorture: When Cutter was able to make him bleed, he actually gets aroused by it and takes her as his lover.
* TheUnfettered: Tries to be this way after his FaceHeelTurn, but still strongly desires to be a hero again, too.
* UnfitForGreatness: Despite his powers, Tony simply wasn't suited to the emotional strain of being a hero and was pushed into the role by his parents and would've been ''much'' better off had he simply been allowed to live a normal life or at least not become a hero until he was ready for the responsibility.
* TragicVillain: He had a very troubled childhood, and eventually snapped because of people's ingratitude. This is {{subverted|Trope}} as regardless of how much he struggled, it still doesn't excuse his crimes as his parents observed and told him.
* {{Tulpa}}: [[spoiler:His existence practically revolves his human form existing due to being based on the desires of a mentally ill woman who killed her child and fell into deep guilt and grief. This did not, of course, help his own psyche later.]]
* UngratefulBastard: Ironically, despite viewing much of the human race as this, he exemplifies this behavior much more himself. Despite years of adoration and respect, Tony's narcissism and insecurity couldn't handle anything less than complete and absolute adoration and he lashed out at humanity for not giving it to him, unsatisfied with the love and respect he already had.
* UnskilledButStrong: What allows him to be defeated by [[spoiler:Orian and Survivor]]. He's simply not used to having to fight physically skilled fighters with powers on par with his own. Weirdly, at the end of ''Incorruptible'', Max Damage tells a story about how he fought the Plutonian in a PowerNullifier field and expected this to be the case, but found that the guy was actually really tough even with no powers. [[UnreliableNarrator He could've just been making the story up, though]], and it's important to keep in mind that Max usually has serious issues related to the sleep deprivation needed to bring him up to full strength. And Tony's [[spoiler:RealityWarper powers were likely still in effect]].
* VillainProtagonist: Plutonian slides to the side of deuteragonist, though his storyline remains the main one.
* WildChild: When he was a kid, the Plutonian [[spoiler:crashed a car that was transporting him in the woods outside of Coalville. From there, he went to live in an abandoned warehouse, feeding on the wildlife nearby. He eventually became a local UrbanLegend called the "Coalville Wolf Boy"]]. During that time, he [[spoiler:attacked a young Evan Cousins (back before he was Max Damage) and his female friend]]. This is the reason why [[spoiler:Max Damage was a BerserkButton for Tony. Max is the one person who knows about that, and as such, is a constant reminder to Tony that he's not a paragon of perfection]].
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility: His FaceHeelTurn stems from the weight of the responsibility, and his belief the world was never sufficiently grateful for it, wearing him down mentally until he snapped.
* WorldsStrongestMan: To the point that even the technology of the Vespa aliens can't do much more than slow him down. His stay in the space prison demonstrated that even among the most dangerous creatures in the known universe, he's at the top of the pyramid. It's later {{deconstructed|trope}} as Modeus explains that Tony being so strong is physically impossible and thus theorized [[spoiler:that his real power is to manipulate reality.]]
* WorthyOpponent: Despite their past and bitter mutual hatred, Tony does seem to have some respect for Max Damage, openly admiring his bravery in standing up to Tony and even leaving their old hometown alone at Max's request, his one act of genuine kindness after his turn.
* WouldHurtAChild: The series opens up with him murdering Hornet's children. He also killed a bunch of kids during his massacre of Sky City.
* YankTheDogsChain: In an in-universe example of AlternativeCharacterInterpretation, Bette Noir believes [[HisOwnWorstEnemy Tony does this to himself]], namely that once he makes a genuine connection with someone, he worries they'll see [[WartsAndAll the darker and less savory aspects]] of him that he tries to keep hidden beneath a veneer of perfection, and thus punish himself for his own self-loathing. She may have a point...

Later events make it clear that while Cary has ''some'' experience with fighting by the skin of his teeth he only came off like he was StrongAndSkilled by comparison. More critically than his fighting abilities he has zero experience with leadership, strategy or organization, so when he tries to position himself as the new BigGood it falls apart quick.

* ArchEnemy: To the Plutonian. Max is far from the biggest or most evil threat Tony has ever faced but he is definitely the most personal villain and has a particular animosity to Max, not least because Max knows some of his dark secrets and that he isn't as perfect as he wants to appear.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: At the beginning of his hero career, he just did the opposite of his supervillain instincts. He gets better though. He is also an aversion as it was shown that, even when he was a super villain, Max still understood and respected heroism and sincerely admired Tony for his, even saying he'd never have killed him out of respect.

* {{Foil}}: To Plutonian. One is the world's greatest hero who became its greatest monster while the other is one of its deadliest villains who's trying to redeem himself. One is an obvious Expy of Superman (and by extension other Superman expies) while the other evokes both supervillains like the Joker and ultra-violent anti-heroes like the Punisher. One dresses in either brightly colored spandex or {{Red and Black and Evil All Over}} spandex with blonde hair while the other wears a {{Badass Biker}} evoking outfit complete with a leather jacket and jet black hair. One has had superpowers for as long as he could remember while the other volunteered for an experiment to acquire his as an adult. This especially becomes apparent when it's revealed that [[spoiler: Max and Tony actually met each other when both were kids when the latter was a feral child called "The Wolf Boy." There it's shown that Max (real name Evan Cousins) came from a rather well-off (if dysfunctional) family that he cut his ties with once he became a serious supervillain while Tony was bounced from unloving foster home to unloving foster home and surrounded by people who hated and feared him. And while Max, even at his worst, still had a sense of restraint and was able to recognize and respect genuine heroism and does good out of a sense of duty and because it needs to be done, showing no interest in adulation or recognition for his deeds, Tony abandons any semblance of morality after he turns and shows he never truly understood or saw heroism as anything but a way to get him the adoration he craved and felt owed.]]

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Bill badly misjudged the best way to approach Daniel, putting so much emphasis on forging him into a selfless hero that he completely failed to see that what his son needed was love, acceptance and stability and to just be a regular kid rather than being forced into heroism or to shoulder a responsibility he simply wasn't emotionally suited for, at least not yet.

* MiseryBuildsCharacter: The crux of Bill's teachings - he believed that Daniel's powers automatically meant his purpose in life was to use them to save and help people and his teaching methods reflected that.



* ParentsAsPeople: Bill honestly loved Daniel and wanted to instill good morals and a sense of responsibility to use his powers for good in him. However, his methods and unyielding approach, as well as his failure to understand the severity of Daniel's emotional issues and what the boy really needed was love and support and to just be a kid rather than a hero in the making, end up arguably making things much worse, adding a serious martyr complex and extreme sense of responsibility to Daniel's already existing issues.
* TheResenter: Bill's one flaw is his resentment when his seemingly selfless acts don't get the gratitude and acknowledgment he believes they deserve. Unfortunately, his son picked up on that behavior.
* ToughLove: Deconstructed. This was basically Bill's approach to raising Daniel, but he went way too far, forgetting the "love" part of the equation, and Daniel ended up with a serious [[ChronicHeroSyndrome martyr complex]] on top of his already existing issues.
