* ReedRichardsIsUseless: Averted. While most Tinkertech is unsuitable for mass-production because it can only be maintained by the tinker who made it (and can't be understood even by them), Matrix, since she has the Sliver of Primus instead of a shard, makes ''Cybertronian'' tech instead of normal tinkertech, and is totally capable of mass-producing it and even reverse-engineering regular tinkertech and making ''that'' mass-producible. She's been shifting the balance of power in Brockton Bay just by being able to distribute her tech to {{Muggle}} PRT soldiers and police and make them just a little less squishy.

** Also, Taylor herself. Due to several factors (Having Rung as a therapist, Dragon taking an interest in her, and having Primus subconsciously whispering good advice to her instead of a conflict-oriented shard), she never joins the Undersiders, instead remaining an unambiguous heroine and a better person than her canon self.

* NoHonorAmongThieves: The author has stated that this is a big theme. Pretty much every gang in the story is ready to fragment and have members start betraying each other at the slightest provocation. Even the ''Undersiders'', who were canonical examples of UndyingLoyalty, end up splintering because of ForWantOfANail (Due to Taylor not being there to act as TheHeart and Bitch's death, the Undersiders end up not trusting each other and [[WeAreStrugglingTogether not coordinating well]]). About the only gang that ''isn't'' on the verge of imploding is Uber and Leet, because of their genuine VillainousFriendship.

* VillainousBreakdown:
** Leet spends most of his arc in one, caused by Matrix triggering his InferioritySuperiorityComplex.
** A canon omake shows Emma having a complete breakdown when she realizes that Taylor was Matrix. Realizing that someone she thought of as pathetic had become a respected hero and actually ''made a difference'' in the WretchedHive that was Brockton Bay totally dismantled her entire worldview.

* TheCorrupter: The being behind "Red Text Voice" being. What it is is unknown (though it is mostly thought to be either Shard conflict influence or Unicron), but what it does is it speaks to capes subconsciously, implanting thoughts that nudge them into a worse headspace, and make them do bad things. Coil is urged to push his plan to greater heights, [[spoiler: Josie]] is pushed into obsessing over vengeance for [[spoiler: Saint's]] death, [[spoiler: Alexandria is encouraged to keep sacrificing her morality for the red text.sake of the 'greater good', Eidolon has his insecurities about his power reinforced, Legend gets told that the others think of him as naive but ignores it, and what it did to Contessa is unknown, but she's basically a puppet for the Voice by now.]]

[[FreudianExcuse His nasty upbringing by Heartbreaker trained him to believe that it was every man for himself]] and so when Lung, an opponent the Undersiders couldn't possibly face, showed up, he basically put the 'I don't have to outrun the bear, I only have to outrun ''you''' joke in practice, tripping up Matrix (who was trying to help them) in order to escape. He thought that Grue and Tattletale would be doing the same thing. Instead, they saw what he'd done as betrayal of the team, and when he came back, made it very clear that he was unwelcome.
