*AmbiguouslyEvil: On several occassions, Nebula 71 demonstrates it is willing to let several innocent people die as long as it completes the objectives it desires. Spectreman is ''horrified'' to hear this and disobeys them.
*BigGood: Nebula 71 is meant to be this, but it's TheNeedsOfTheMany mentality and LackOfEmpathy make it the above trope.
*GoodIsNotNice:
**Nebula 71 frequently threatens to dismantle Spectreman if he ever reveals his secret identity to anyone. Though many civilians do find out, they keep it a secret. Joji also seems overcome with fear when he talks about Nebula 71 with others, implying this kind of behaviour is a norm for it.
**[[spoiler: In the GrandFinale, Nebula 71 orders Spectreman to leave Earth and never come back ever again (unless it faces an existential threat) as he has completed his purpose in defeating Dr. Gori. This is despite the fact that Spectreman, despite being a cyborg, has shown a capability to have human emotions and even cry. Nebula 71 basically treats Spectreman like an indentured servant, not allowing him to have a life of his own. On top of being cruel, it's also unnecessary, as Spectreman being allowed to visit Earth doesn't mean that he should end his planet-protecting duties - [[ComicBook/{{Superman}} many]] [[ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} a]] [[ComicBook/{{Starfire}} superhero]] have achieved the same thing.]]
