* FamilyRelationshipSwitcheroo: has this at the centre of one of its key reveals: [[spoiler: Peggy Carter]] wasn't [[spoiler: Alison Carter's]] older sister. She was her mother. The crucial parts, however, are the identity of the father, [[spoiler: Steve Rogers]] and what this means for [[spoiler: Alison's]] granddaughter, [[spoiler: Carol Danvers.]]

** Peggy Carter's family -- her nephew is [[Franchise/StargateVerse Brigadier Jack O'Neill]], his daughter is [[ComicBook/{{Agent 13}} Sharon Carter]] and his niece is [[ComicBook/MsMarvel Carol Danvers]]. That's a ''lot'' of badass.

** There are numerous references to ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' and the ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'' mythos, namely the titular town in Kansas, "The Lost Omega", the destruction of Krypton, and the Kent family. There are also many references to Alan Scott, AKA ''ComicBook/GreenLantern'' and he makes a posthumous appearance in chapter 76.

Cool Loser TRS cleanup, has been renamed to Unconvincingly Unpopular Character and is a YMMV audience reaction.


* CoolLoser: Harry, Carol, Jean-Paul, and, arguably, Diana suffer from this, each time being justified.
** Harry isn't exactly the most social person on the planet to begin with and is still adjusting to his newfound status as a Prince of Asgard. Also, he has issues. Lots of them.
** Carol has a realistic variation of SoBeautifulItsACurse, her looks garnering jealousy from the girls and unwanted attention from the boys and from grown men. This is not helped by her outwardly abrasive personality and short temper (both of which are largely caused by the former), as well as the fact that she's better at athletics than all the boys and a talented all round sportswoman. In turn, her friendship with Jean-Paul is unlikely to do her social cred much good.
*** It is noted in chapter 50 that her teammates on the school football (soccer) team all like her.
** Jean-Paul is extremely handsome (Harry describes him as beautiful), charming, witty, and friendly. He's also very CampGay and very open about it, whose first appearance is him flirting with Harry, bantering with Carol, then zipping off to avoid the wrath of a homophobic father who feels that his son has been defiled. Later appearances reveal that this is a case of CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass and that he has considerable HiddenDepths, but the superficial appearance makes him a target for homophobes.
** Diana is a pretty little girl who has the misfortune to be a very intelligent, thoroughly and uncomfortably insightful in a fashion reminiscent of a more down to Earth Luna Lovegood via her [[PsychicPowers Empathy]] and a genuinely [[BadassAdorable badass pre-teen goddess]]. Unfortunately, as noted in the text, her part in one of Harry's escapades is dismissed as 'aww, she's cute and those boys are so brave and clever, they must have rescued her', until Harry loudly sets the record straight.

** Carol to a nigh ridiculous degree. She never, ''ever'' gives up.

** Carol to a nigh ridiculous degree. She never, ''ever'' gives up. Given who she's descended from, one can understand why.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Deuteragonist}}: For all that Harry is supposedly the main character, the book is primarily about Thor, the revelation that he used to be James, and the ripple effects thereof.


Added DiffLines:

** Harry is somewhat less than freaked out upon confronting the Disir. As he notes, given his experiences with the Dementors and various other monsters, he's fairly used to it by now.
