* GenreDeconstruction: The story lives on this trope. Despite superpowers being a thing, every supers trope is looked at and often deconstructed. Supers patrolling the city for crime almost never actually find crime. Property destruction results in fines and possible jail time. Supervillains act like normal criminals.

* CuteAndPsycho: Kitten, the main villan in Death of a Hero, is a sadistic [[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnFemale rapist]] and [[AxCrazy serial killer]], can figure out how to kill someone just by looking at them (she has a power and everything) and looks 14 years old.
* DeathTrap: Both averted and played straight. One villain from the 20s created a hundred and fifty mile chain of death traps that never killed anyone. This was by design. It's a museum now.

* NewPowersasthePlotDemands: Justified. In setting known as a 'Surge', all supers have the ability to change their powers. At a [[TitleDrop Price]]. Due to this, most supers would rather lose than use that feature, and their enemies know not to push them hard enough to change their minds.

* SwordDrag: Zach does this. Justified because his power heals objects he's holding, so the blade can't be damaged.

Added DiffLines:

*ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Powers in Price tend to generate red, blue or yellow light. Stronger Imbued have two colors and sometimes a blend of those colors (red and blue makes purple- or possibly magenta or some other shade of purple). The really strong ones have black or white.

Added DiffLines:

**Furthermore, Surges don't simply add a new power to their powerset. They take new traits related to the reason for the Surge and use them to remix the original powerset. New powers are generally more potent than old however they may be more situationally limited.

* ImmortalLifeIsCheap: Zach regenerates from anything, including not normally fatal injuries like getting cold enough to shiver sets off his ResurrectiveImmortality. Even Anima makes a casual comment about killing him. She feels remorse immediately after realizing what she said.
