!!''Captain America: Forever Allies'' provides examples of:

* BlackGuyDiesFirst: Inverted. Out of the core Young Allies, Washington Jones is the last to die. Bucky was technically the first to die, but due to retroactive plot armor he's still alive.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: The young allies have their minds hijacked by a powerful telepath and are sent to bomb a military target on American soil.
* CompanionCube: Lady Lotus talks to her gem and explains her plans to it.
* CoolPlane: The one Bucky borrows from Texas Jack.
* DeadpanSnarker: In the middle of a magically-induced earthquake, while Lotus screams aabout how only someone of the purest blood can wield her power gem, Wash points out that she ''just'' said that WASP Pat couldn't handle it.
* {{Flanderization}}: Inverted. Hank comments that his comic book version, FatComicRelief "Tubby Tinkle", is a lot more comically obese than he ever was. Wash points out that he got it worse, since "Whitewash Jones" is like something out of a minstrel show.
* FlashbackEpisode: All the issues are half present-day, half WWII memories.
* HoistByHerOwnPetard: Lady Lotus's own [[spoiler:racism toward Wash is what enables him to break free of her telepathic control]].
* InSeriesNickname: All the young allies had one. James is obviously Bucky, and Thomas is Toro; Patrick "Pat" O'Toole is better known as Knuckles, Washington Jones as Wash; Geoffrey Worthington Vendergill goes by Geoff, and Henry Tinklebaum is simply Hank.
* OtherMeAnnoysMe: Wash and Hank aren't impressed by their comic book depictions.
* ReimaginingTheArtifact: Pulls this on the Golden Age Young Allies, depicting them in a more realistic fashion with the original comic versions being in-universe {{Flanderization}}
* {{Retcon}}: This series retcons the Golden Age comic book "Young Allies" into in-universe war propaganda.
* SameSurnameMeansRelated: Averted with Geoff Worthington Vandergill, who is not mentioned to be related to [[Characters/XMenTheOriginalTeam Angel]].
* ShoutOut: An elderly Knuckles thinks Bucky's post-war experiences sound like something out of Magazine/AmazingStories.
* SueDonym: When present-day Bucky goes undercover as a journalist, Natasha takes a page out of Steve's book and makes his fake name "Barney Jamieson".
