* Hera is the sister of Isis of the [[Myth/EgyptianMythology Egyptian pantheon]], but not the sister of Zeus [[BrotherSisterIncest as well as his wife.]]


Added DiffLines:

* RevengeBeforeReason: Mordru's FatalFlaw. After the Lords of Chaos break him out of the Witching Well, he rejects Amora's advice to [[PragmaticVillainy get out of dodge]] [[KnowWhenToFoldThem now that they've got him free]] because he wants to kill Dr. Strange for defeating him in their first confrontation. Because of that, he ends up ultimately losing once Strange sets the Spectre on him, he nearly gets killed, and Diana [[TheStoolPidgeon forces him to reveal the names of key figures in their plans]]. Afterwards, Darkseid brutally punishes the pleading Mordru.


Added DiffLines:

* SadlyMythtaken: In-series. Thor works out that something doesn't add up about the so-called hammer of Zeus, because the hammer is not mentioned in Themyscira's archives about Zeus, and there's [[UpToEleven not even any depictions of the hammer in the artwork filling Zeus' own temple!]] Of course, this is a JustifiedTrope because the hammer belongs to Thor, kept under Zeus' eye until his nephew is old enough to wield Mjolnir again.


Added DiffLines:

* ToBeLawfulOrGood: Agent K suffers from this after his partner Agent D dies at the hands of Sinestro and young Clark Kent decides to leave the Kents' farm to discover more about his Kryptonian heritage. MIB rules dictate that he must take young Clark into a safehouse to keep him from roaming the world unsupervised: his friendship with the Kents dictates he must let their son go. He manages to TakeAThirdOption and fakes arresting Clark(after subduing him with a lump of Kryptonite), but lets Johnathan Kent punch him out so he drops and shatters the Kryptonite, causing Clark to wake back up, shake off the agents holding him, dislodge the tracking device not securely attached to his back, and fly away. Proves that Agent K indeed TookALevelInKindness.


Added DiffLines:

* UglyHeroGoodLookingVillain: Frau Totenkinder, as an old woman, is the Ugly Hero to the goddess Circe's Good-Looking Villain. And her true form, as Circe discovers, is even uglier.


Added DiffLines:

* VillainousFriendship: They're not truly evil, but Flint Marko and Eel O'Brian are very close friends, as shown by their TakeMyHand/SayMyName moments when the FreakLabAccident occurs.
* YouKilledMyFather: Baron Mordo killed Zatanna's father, and [[AnArmAndALeg took the leg]] of John Zatar's partner Mad-Eye Moody. Dumbledore did not tell Zatanna this until she was grown-up, for fear she would fall to RevengeBeforeReason and IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Darkseid torturing Mordru for revealing key names in the Lords of Chaos' plans to the heroes qualifies as this.


Added DiffLines:

* LoopholeAbuse: How do the [[Magocracy Sentinels of Magic]] send someone to collect Stephen Strange to start his training to be the next Sorcerer Supreme, but make sure not to alert the Lords of Chaos, who will try to kill him beforehand? They send the Phantom Stranger, who as a FallenAngel is not a Sentinel of Magic, and therefore should be able to reach Strange undercover. Admittedly, the plan doesn't work, because Mordru still cottons on, but good work anyway.


Added DiffLines:

* MundaneUtility: Bigby Wolf. Turns out, having the ability to huff and puff and BlowYouAway makes him really good at administering mouth-to-mouth. Comes in handy for saving Boy Blue.

* CardCarryingVillain: Ares. When Loki asks why he and Thor [[DumbMuscle[[DumbMuscle don't get along better]], Ares replies, "We would if he wasn't such a do-gooder."

* CleverCrows: Odin sends one of his ravens, Huginn, to guide Thor to the temple of Zeus and collect Mjolnir when the Mask attacks Themyscira. Later on, Huginn meets up with Thor again, to guide him and Diana to Fabletown to locate Stanley Ipkiss.


Added DiffLines:

* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Diana actually punches Loki at one point. Also, Stephen Strange defeats Mordru, a Lord of Chaos, in a WizardDuel.


Added DiffLines:

* EvilIsHammy: Deconstructed in Loki's case. His attempts at warning Thor and the BPRD WeWillMeetAgain end with him getting cut off by one of the heroes attacking him- Diana and Hellboy, respectively.

Sinestro ends up with a crushed ring fist and a broken jaw, Clark just loses his shirt.

After completing this fic, Finmonster wrote a sequel called ''Fanfic/HarryPotterAndTheGuardiansLight''.

Sinestro ends up with a crushed ring fist and a broken jaw, Clark just loses his shirt.


Added DiffLines:

* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Inverted. Brother Blood, a ReligiousVampire, is the one who flips off John Constantine, who's well-known for fulfilling this trope in canon. However, given that he does it ''after'' Constantine has basically blowtorched him with a dragonfire cigarette, slowing his HealingFactor and leaving him in a hole, his insults come across as TooDumbToLive. And sure enough, Constantine sets fire to him ''again'' to finish the fight. Then again, Constantine's actions could count as flipping off.
* DivineIntervention: The reason Odin sends Thor to Earth to be brought up on Themyscira.


Added DiffLines:

* EvilIsPetty: Why does Lex Luthor collaborate with the Kingpin to send a bunch of saboteurs into Oscorp, killing numerous people, and mutating even more, ruining their lives in the process? He and Norman Osborn were competing to see who could recreate the super-soldier formula first, and Lex wanted to remove the competition.


Added DiffLines:

* FromNobodyToNightmare: Subverted with Jack Napier. He's already a frightening PsychoForHire ''before'' he has his FreakLabAccident. When he reappears, if Finmonster writes a sequel, he's going to be [[ComicBook/{{TheJoker}} someone a whole lot more horrific]]...


Added DiffLines:

* GhastlyGhost: The Shade of Sir Lancelot, summoned by Frau Totenkinder to battle Circe, is a heroic variant.


Added DiffLines:

* Hellfire: Etrigan can use this, being a demon. So can Baron Mordo, thanks to his service to Dormammu.


Added DiffLines:

* ItsAllAboutMe: Victor Von Doom. Even after the FreakLabAccident that he accidentally caused ended up negatively affecting people, like making Ben Grimm a big orange RockMonster, and apparently killing Martin Stein and Nate Adams, he's more concerned about the fact that his handsome face is coated in third-degree burn marks.


Added DiffLines:

* KnightTemplar: The Spectre. As far as he's concerned, all MagicIsEvil, and those who use it should be killed. Nobody in-story or out agrees with him.


Added DiffLines:

* LetsYouAndHimFight: The BPRD with the Mask, because they think he's killed three people- but then they find out Loki was framing him, so all's forgiven. Also, Thor and Wonder Woman with Superman, after Thor mistakes Clark for the person who destroyed the Oscorp lab and impulsively attacks him- again, Diana confirms he's not responsible with her lasso.


Added DiffLines:

* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover


Added DiffLines:

* NoSell: Offensive spells used on the Phantom Stranger don't affect him.


Added DiffLines:

* OurDemonsAreDifferent: Evil demons like the Clown, Minos, Trigon, Lucifer, Satan, Lilith and Blackheart, good ones like Hellboy, Raven and Etrigan... Quite a lot of demons in this story.


Added DiffLines:

* PunchClockVillain: Eel O'Brian and Flint Marko are both a lot less malicious than their boss, Jack Napier.


Added DiffLines:

* RedShirtArmy: The Hellspawn warriors the Lords of Chaos bring with them to release Mordru get effortlessly slaughtered in their numbers. Makes sense, because Al Simmons is not one of them yet.


Added DiffLines:

* SealedEvilInACan: The Spectre was imprisoned in a glass ball by a force of angels sent to contain him by God, and the Sentinels of Magic, working together. He is briefly released to defeat a powered-up Mordru, before being imprisoned again when he goes against orders and tries to kill him.
** Also, Mordru spends ten years locked in the Witching Well of Fabletown after Doctor Strange defeats him. Then the Lords of Chaos successfully release him.


Added DiffLines:

* TookALevelInBadass: Doctor Strange after the 10-year timeskip, as Sorcerer Supreme.

* TakingYouWithMe: Jor-El does this to Brainiac upon finding out that he sabotaged Krypton's shield generators so that Galactus could land on the planet and start consuming it. He plants a virus in Brainiac's databanks and basically shuts him down.
** Captain America does this to Baron Zemo after he [[WouldHurtAChild shoots Bucky]] right in front of him, sabotaging the controls of his plane so that it explodes and they both fall into the sea. He even says this word-for-word. The Captain [[SavedByCanon survives]]; the Baron [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice does not]].
* UngratefulBastard: Dream of the Endless' response to Doctor Strange and the Sentinels of Magic rescuing him? He tells them, "You took a good deal of time finding me. I owe you one gift, Sorcerer(Dr. Strange). Use it wisely," and then he wordlessly leaves. Albus Dumbledore [[LampshadeHanging notes]] that Dream is not one of the most pleasant of individuals.
* VillainHasAPoint: When Dumbledore tells off his former school friend Alexander Burgess for being a "bad apple", Burgess growls "Like you're one to talk, Dumbledore." For those of you who've read ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows'', and therefore know that [[spoiler:Dumbledore used to be a magical supremacist and friend of EvilSorcerer Gellert Grindelwald in his youth]], it can be hard to challenge Burgess.
* YouWouldntShootMe: More like, You Wouldn't Snap My Men's Necks. Jack Napier has this response to Otto Octavius holding his men hostage, stating that he doesn't have the KillingIntent that Napier himself possesses. To prove his point, he holds Norman Osborn and Otto's wife Rosie at gunpoint, [[SadisticChoice forcing Otto to pick one of them to save]]. And then, being TheSociopath, he deprives Otto of that choice by shooting Rosie himself. Otto doesn't snap his men's necks, but he does throw them away and knock them out afterwards.

* GeniusBruiser: Detective Chimp, as per canon. Apart from being able to effortlessly work out the Mask's innocence of the murders he was accused of, he's also a chimpanzee, with all the physical strength that implies. Just ask that shadow monster whose throat he [[ManBitesMan gouged out]].


Added DiffLines:

* ImprovisedGolem: When confronting the Phantom Stranger at Steven Strange's apartment, Mordru blows out a section of kitchen wall, and creates a self-healing Golem with it. It's pretty powerful, but once Strange himself enters the fight, he manages to destroy it and defeat its master.


Added DiffLines:

* JokerImmunity: Jack Napier apparently drowns in a leaking acid tank after killing Otto Octavius' wife, but the last thing Norman Osborn hears before passing out is insane laughter, which implies Napier might still be alive. Makes sense, because Napier's counterpart in the ''Film/Batman1989'' film is the TropeNamer.
* KickTheDog: [[BarbaricBully Ivan]] and his gang beat up Virgil and Evan Hawkins very callously in an alleyway, leaving them so injured, they have to be hospitalized. One of the bullies even attempts to [[EarAche cut off Evan's ear]] to see how well he can balance on his skateboard with one ear, but Ivan stops him because [[PragmaticVillainy while hurting innocent schoolboys is funny to him, if they actually mutilate the boys, the police will be onto them]].


Added DiffLines:

* NeverMyFault: As per canon, Victor Von Doom cannot take responsibility for his mistakes. When Bruce Banner implies that the portal-generating machine literally blowing up in Doom's face was his fault, Doom's response is to start punching Banner and furiously insulting him and his mother.
* OhCrap: Mordru's response to having to battle The Spectre himself- a PhysicalGod who DoesNotLikeMagic- without any PowerLimiters on The Spectre. And again, when he returns to Hell with the rest of the Lords of Chaos, and has to face punishment for his mistakes- and the person who's going to be punishing him? None other than ComicBook/Darkseid himself.
* PervertRevengeMode: Downplayed, Diana slaps Boy Blue for making pervy comments about her, now that she can understand him.

* EverybodyLovesZeus: Despite Mala saying that Zeus isn't held as highly on Themyscira as goddesses like Hera and Athena, indicating the Amazons don't like him for some reason, when he actually appears in the story, he's entirely friendly and helpful towards Thor. Justified, because he's Thor's uncle, and having him be an antagonist to Thor when Thor already has one uncle(Hades), an adopted brother(Loki), and three cousins(Pluto, Hela and Ares) would be needlessly cruel.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Stanley Ipkiss at the hands of Loki, before sending him to Themyscira to kill Thor.


Added DiffLines:

* EverybodyLovesZeus: Despite Mala saying that Zeus isn't held as highly on Themyscira as goddesses like Hera and Athena, indicating the Amazons don't like him for some reason, when he actually appears in the story, he's entirely friendly and helpful towards Thor. Justified, because he's Thor's uncle, and having him be an antagonist to Thor when Thor already has one uncle(Hades), an adopted brother(Loki), and three cousins(Pluto, Hela and Ares) would be needlessly cruel.

** [[ComicBook/DoctorFate Kent Nelson]], [[ComicBook/DoctorStrange Steven Strange]], and June Moone were born magic, instead of gaining it later in life.
** ComicBook/{{Hela}} is half-Olympian, half-Asgardian, because she's the daughter of Hades, not Loki. The same goes for her brother Pluto.
** ComicBook/{{Static}} and [[ComicBook/TeenTitans Garfield Logan]] are both mutants, instead of metahumans, due to being the nephews of ComicBook/Storm and ComicBook/BeastMarvelComics, respectively.

** Due to his last name being spelt "Buttenholm" instead of "B(R)uttenholm", Hellboy's adoptive father is not given his nickname of Professor Broom.
** Zatanna [[AdaptationalJobChange is a BPRD agent, instead of a stage magician]], so she doesn't have her top hat and fishnets outfit from the comics.

* AdaptationalJerkass: In modern Marvel comics, Doctor Doom is depicted as a fair ruler to his people, and very even-minded and respectful towards most of Marvel's heroes-[[BerserkButton apart from Reed Richards, obviously.]] That's not the case here. Doom is blatantly rude and violent towards BruceBanner, a shameless misogynist, and is implied by Ben Grimm to have killed his father, the former king of Latveria. And since Doom's the only Latverian to appear in the story, we never see him contradict this.
