* NauseaFuel: InUniverse and hilariously PlayedForLaughs. When Watney salvages the crew's excrement for use in his makeshift soil, opening up Johanssen's shit packets causes him to repeatedly gag and nearly puke. Despite them being frozen and dehydrated and him ''having plugs up his nostrils.'' The smell is just ''that'' bad, and slightly inexplicable, given that they were all on the same NASA-approved diet (save for Vogel's deeply German love of sausages).

* SirSwearsALot: Most other characters barely curse, but Watney delivers several F-bombs, even in the promotional videos. This actually gets him in trouble from a PR angle. Even the ''President of the United States'' chews out Teddy over Mark's freewheeling approach to what is publicly acceptable.

* TheAloner: Left behind on Mars during mission abort due to an accident that caused everyone else to believe he died. No one else has any idea he's alive for months until Park notices the changes at the Hab via satellite imagery.

Instead he calls the Director of NASA personally to offer aid in the spirit of scientific cooperation between space agencies, and force the US and Chinese governments to go along with it or lose face on an international scale.

* TheGenericGuy: Isn't as defined as the rest of the crew. Part of it is his mission speciality, aerospace medicine, never obviously coming into play. Not helped by the fact that his other specialty, doing spacewalks, gets sidelined in the film so Lewis can pull her Atoner act. He's the last of the crew to be mentioned by name in the book, over a hundred pages in.
