* FlyingBrick: Prime's power is that he can turn into a classic Flying Brick, gaining SuperStrenght, flight, and invulnerability when he transforms. Most of the time, he's really a skinny thirteen-year-old who generates a mass of pseudo-organic tissue around himself to appear as a muscular adult. Basically, he's ''Captain Marvel'', but DarkerAndEdgier. Another twist: his superpowered form's appearance is based on his idea of what a hero should be like. His first form looked like a standard Cape. After a run of bad luck and encounters with various antiheroes, his Prime form took a DarkerAndEdgier appearance. After regaining some of his original idealism tempered with maturity, his third and final form looks like a mix of the previous two though it looks more like the first one. All of his forms also have a face that strongly resembles his father.

* GreenIsGross: Taking a page from Prime's own book, in the animated series, Kevin Green transforms into his bulkier alter ego, Prime, by oozing a green liquid from his chest that covers him and molds into Prime. When he turns back, the "Prime" body dissolves into a pile of goo and some of it stains Kevin's normal clothes.

** The episode "Pump It Up!" is a loose adaptation of the aforementioned Ghoul-focused single issue: he investigates the death of a musician of Ultra powers. In the episode, the musician is indeed an Ultra, but his potential is amplified by a magic guitar given by Lord Pumpkin, who was not part of the original issue.
