* {{Uke}}: PlayedWith as shown in ''Midnighter and Apollo'', while he is a ManlyGay and doesn't have any feminine traits, he's depicted as being the "bottom" in a romantic moment with Apollo and it's implied it's his preferred role. Midnighter also doesn't seem to mind that Apollo transports him in a BridalCarry, though admittedly, he was badly hurt at the time. Still, considering his manly image and grouchy personality, it stands out how easily and unselfconsciously he cooperates with the pose.

In his solo series, he once faced a supervillain named Epimetheus, who had ''actual'' CombatClairvoyance, and who wiped the floor with Midnighter--no matter what Midnighter's combat enhancements told him to do, Epimetheus would see it coming and act accordingly. He beat the guy in their second fight by [[spoiler:doubling the armor on certain parts of his costume, and letting Epimetheus--who had no super strength or stamina--wail on those spots until Epimetheus was too tired to throw another punch.

This might not count, as [[spoiler:the guy was actually a super-advanced android sent to destroy the Authority from within, so he might have been able to confuse Midnighter's analysis somehow.]]

* LogicalWeakness: As emphasized by his enemy in his pair series of ''Midnighter & Grifter'' while being pummeled, Midnighter's combative superiority are strictly dependent on him being faster and cleverer than his opponent. If his opponent is faster than he can react to their moves or is smart enough to predict his moves, his powers are rendered useless. In another story sponsored under ''Stormwatch: Team Achilles'', it's explained how his abilities are mainly a result of wetware and technology, meaning he's vulnerable to a surprise beating as anyone else in a fight if they can be deactivated like any tech.
** In one crossover story, he also had trouble fighting ComicBook/TheJoker, who's simply [[ObfuscatingInsanity too crazy to predict.]] Of course, in that case, it's more of an ''il''logical weakness...
