* {{Adorkable}}: Even moreso than Jake.

* {{Adorkable}} : They have some goofy personalities and are adept with technology, thus making them surprisingly endearing.

* {{Adorkable}}: Even though he's a full grown adult, he still feels the need to make some cheesy botany jokes. He's still cool regardless.

An organization of rogue scientists who attempt to use the latest technology to control society.

* LoveMakesYouDumb: At a Rook Unlimited gala, Gabe hastily schemes to take Erika back from Nathan, by shooting him with a paint gun. This futile-seeming plan becomes even more reckless, when he accidentally grabs a gun with acidic ammo. Erika continues to resist the "stupid" Gabe, as she and Nathan wrestle the weapon out of his hands.

* AffirmativeActionGirl: Erika discovering the Flex Fighters' and Blindstrike's {{Secret Identit|y}}ies, then getting her own powers, seem to build up to her fighting alongside the Flex Fighters and Blindstrike in season three.
