* EveryoneHasStandards: As a member of the KND, she will happily fight child-hating and child-oppressing adults, but even she realizes that ''all'' adults shouldn't be wiped out. She also will freely fight the teenage menace in open warfare, even with her own sister she does care for, but draws the line at messing with their social events; when the Kids Next Door pulled out some nasty facial-ruining viruses just to spite the teens for prom night, Abby promptly took the antidote to her sister Cree while saying she tried to tell them even they went too far.

* LetsGetDangerous: In episodes where he's not the focus character, he's usually a complete IdiotHero that gets on his team's nerves or seems oblivious to the danger around him until he's already down. The cases where he gets to show his stuff thus become this trope. His focus episodes downplay this by his badassery being more in the spotlight as a regular thing. [[ButtMonkey Usually.]]

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Numbuh One used to be an uptight KnowNothingKnowItAll that thought he knew best but often did the worst, Numbuh Two was far more gluttonous and prone to [[DidntThinkThisThrough poorly devised technology]] that either didn't work or blew up in his face, Numbuh Three was originally bordering on TheLoad when she wasn't managing to pull a fast one in ADayInTheLimelight, Numbuh Four wasn't exactly smart but wasn't the full-time IdiotHero he'd become as ''all'' of the team was kind of dumb, and Numbuh Five was passive and TheQuietOne without any leadership or OnlySaneMan traits. By the end of the first season they were already shifting into their more known characterizations, and by the end of the series all of them come into their own ''massively''. Just compare the bumbling FailureHero nature of their exploits at the beginning of the series to being ''the'' BadassCrew of the entire Kids Next Door by the finale.
