* LighterAndSofter: This series was considerably wackier, funnier and light-hearted than the then-ongoing ''Supergirl'' book, featuring crazy Silver Age-esque antics instead of ''Supergirl getting depressed because she believes she is being coerced into murdering someone''.

That trope is for villains being killed by the underling they abused, not the hero getting revenge on the villain for wronging them


* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:Mr. Mxyzptlk]] spends one whole year making Kara's life Hell so he can seize infinite power... which Supergirl claims before he can do so. Cue beat-down.

* IrrationalHatred: Lena Thorul hates super-heroes with a passion (and she does not change her mind when she finds out her best friend is Supergirl). Her reasons are extremely generic, though, and they differ with each rant (super-beings supposedly being jerkasses to normal humans, their powers undermining human achievement...), boiling down to Lena parroting her big brother's opinions and lies.

Nearly all of Linda's classmates are absolutely horrible to her on a daily basis, and get even nastier towards her when they hear her rightfully venting about how awful they are. Whereas Belinda and Lena both have some humanizing qualities, the other students just exist to be assholes.
