* BodilyFluidBlacklightReveal: ADF agents detect use of powers by checking for characteristic blood at the corner of the eyes with UV flashlights. While blood is normally not luminescent under a blacklight without a fluid such as luminol, it's possible that the fluid Abornomals leak when using their powers has a different composition.

* MindManipulation: Chloe learns she is able to command people to do things, and when she really concentrates, she can take full bodily control. This apparently also comes with a suite of powers that lets her do Remote Viewing on subjects she concentrates on, and even to be able to share visions of them to others.

* VillainHasAPoint: While society's treatment of Abnormals is absolutely awful, we do also get to see firsthand just how terrifying their powers can be, considering that at one point, Abnormal children caused '''the complete destruction of all of Dallas'''. And then there's Chloe, who can [[MindManipulation command basically anyone, basically anywhere, to do basically anything]], including suicide. It's not really hard to see the threat people with this kind of power can pose to society and why keeping them in check just '''might''' be the only option to ensure the very survival of humanity.
