* JustFriends: Marcia and Dr. Morgan is friendly, but completely platonic towards each other for the whole film.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: When Barton murdered Grant, it was completely out of [[CrazyJealousGuy pure]] [[GreenEyedMonster jealousy]] when the latter was hitting on his wife, but the guy totally had it coming when you remembered [[AttemptedRape what he tried to do to Marcia]] and [[CasanovaWannabe still attempted to make moves on her afterwords]]. So it was probably the only ''good'' thing Barton ever did in this movie (even though he's [[DomesticAbuse no better]]).
* MadScientist: Even if Gill Man wouldn't have burned, Dr. Barton had already planned of making it a land creature.

MadScientist: Even if Gill Man wouldn't have burned, hadn't been burned to the point of needing emergency surgery to keep it alive, Dr. Barton had already planned of on making it a land creature.



* NonMaliciousMonster: The Gill Man. He's never a bad guy and only lashed out at who hurt him. He never harms Dr. Morgan, who was the one doctor who didn't mistreat him and advocated for the Gill Man to be given kindness. He also only attacks those who hurt him first or were hurting Marcia. Even the recollection of a fisherman attacked by him early on before his transformation notes the Gill Man only attacked after being shot.
* OnlySaneMan: Dr. Thomas Morgan for the whole movie. He's the only scientist to repeatedly tell Dr. Barton's ideas are going to result in disaster, advocates for treating the clearly intelligent Gill man humanely as not to provoke it and sees right through Barton's ambition to see him for the jealous, control-freak of a scientist and abusive husband he is.

* SuperStrength: While the Gill Man was established as being superhumanly strong, the climax of this movie showcases it the best. Once the electric is turned off, he casually crumbles the bars holding him, knocks the railing off a staircase with a casual move, easily lifts Barton overhead, and finally easily pushes over a brick pillar with minimal effort.
