** Slightly averted in ''Treasure MathStorm!'' where the Super Solver has only one body part exposed; a big, round, and [[AmbiguouslyBrown vaguely tan-colored]] nose. Which is ironic since they spend the majority of that game in a cold snowy mountain, which would give them incentive to keep their face fully covered.

* RobotMaster: Usually has a group of robots to do his evil bidding. In ''Mission T.H.I.N.K'', he reveals that he built [[MonsterOfTheWeek his new robot minions in the game]] from broken parts that he "rescued... from the recycling center."

* WeaponizedCamera: In ''Midnight Rescue,'' the Super Solver's main tool is a camera. It serves two functions: One, to take photos of Morty's robots to gain clues on which robot Morty is hiding inside. Two, to zap the robots and make them disappear whenever they try to attack you.

* VillainsLoveEntertainment: Morty has displayed a love of games and contests throughout the series. This is best shown in ''Gizmos & Gadgets'' and ''Mission T.H.I.N.K.'', where he challenges the player to a series of races and board games respectively, promising to relinquish the buildings he has taken control of if the player can beat him in every level of the games. Morty sometimes shows VillainRespect for the Super Solver, implying that he enjoys competing with them, but other times, he turns out to be a SoreLoser. Also, in ''Spellbound'', he participates in a spelling bee. This seems to be Morty's only game where [[VillainyFreeVillain he's not doing anything overtly evil]].[[note]]Although, aside from the Super Solver, all the other competitors in the spelling bee are Morty's robots. This implies that he entered them into the contest to stack the odds in his favor, which is pretty unscrupulous of him.[[/note]]
