* TakeThatAudience: The 20th issue starts with Wilq addressing the most faithful fans who have been reading the series since its beginning, and going into a rant, basically calling them a bunch of losers, retards and nerds. Finishing his speech, the superhero warns the fans that they will eventually end cosplaying the Franchise/TheWitcher while waiting for another client in a brothel for fantasy fans, located in Mysłowice - the in-universe EldritchLocation.

* Main/{{Flight}}: Wilq's main superpower. Entombed can fly too, but only with the aid of his trusted weapon, Mini Gas Jet.

* Main/SuperVillain: Of all the villains, Doctor Wyspa (Doctor Island) seems to fit this trope best. He doesn't have super powers as such, but his skill and resourcefulness allows him to dish out HumongousMecha with frightening ease (especially considering he lives in a small flat and spends most of his time "assembling assemble model kits" and playing [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer40000}} Warhammer 40000]]).
* Main/SuperZeroes: The main four. Wilq can fly and is a reasonably stout fighter. Alc-man's powers are just too dumb to use. Entombed is too lazy to use StoutStrength and doesn't carry his gas jet. Mikołaj's main power is "Touching things with his eye" (surprisingly effective), and he briefly possessed a rare and amazing power of climbing a wardrobe. Of course their opponents aren't much better - one of villains through his dedication to kettle design gained the power to instantly heat any handle. About the only semi-competent villains are "Penis-handed electric pillow" and "three fingered pie hand".

* NobleBigot: Wilq is a genuine superhero trying do the right thing for Opole and the rest of the world, but many of his opinions about, let's say, sexual and ethnic minorities would be considered at least inappropriate by Western audience. His short temper doesn't really help, either.
