Subverting Well Intentioned Extremist is it's own trope


* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: Graywytch presents herself as just looking out for women and women's rights, and insists that she regrettably has to use extreme measures to protect women from oppression and violence... but it quickly becomes apparent that protecting women is far less important to her than her hatred towards men, and especially towards trans people.

Graywytch presents herself as just looking out for women and women's rights, and insists that she regrettably has to use extreme measures to protect women from oppression and violence... but it quickly becomes apparent that protecting women is far less important to her than her hatred towards men, and especially towards trans people.

* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Not all the members of the Legion are particularly tolerant. Graywytch is by far the worst, being openly hostile to Danny for being trans from the start -- but she's not the only Legion hero who's got prejudices. Carapace is visibly uncomfortable with Danny, and while Chlorophyll is initially positive towards having another queer member of the team, it turns out he's mainly concerned about the revenue and the money a Dreadnought would bring in, trans or no.

* SugaryMalice: On the occasion where she doesn't treat Danny with outright hostility, she switches over to an extremely fake pseudo-politeness where she tries to present herself as just concerned for everyone's well-being. It's even clearer in the audiobook, where narrator Natasha Soudek often reads Graywytch's less openly hostile dialogue in an extremely smug and almost syrupy tone.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Apart from Valkyrja and Doctor Impossible, Magma's probably the nicest Legion member. He's always polite and friendly to Danny, he cares for his teammates, and he's even willing to give reformed supervillains a second chance. But it's clear that Magma is ''not'' one to cross, and he can hold grudges with the best of them.

* JerkassAtYourDiscretion: From Danny's point of view, he TookALevelInJerkass this almost as soon as he found out about her transformation. Their interactions before that are friendly and easy, and David even expresses genuine concern for Danny's health and living situation. Post-transformation, though, while he initially seems supportive, it doesn't take long for him to reveal himself as a total self-entitled creep who WantsAPrizeForBasicDecency without even providing the basic decency. Sarah later reveals that he's ''always'' been like this towards girls, it's just that he never treated ''Danny'' that way because he thought Danny was a guy.
* NiceGuy: Subverted. Danny thinks of him as this in the beginning, and he's quick to describe himself as a "nice guy," but it turns out he's anything but.
