* OutsideContextProblem: The Individualities of Revenant's faction are outside the norm of what people in the real world expect. Most simply aren't prepared for seemingly normal people to be able to wield actual superpowers that are ''literally'' straight out of superhero comicbooks.

* ObliviousToLove: Destro is missing the hints Virtue is in fact considering him for a potential romantic relationship.

Most simply aren't prepared for seemingly normal people to be able to wield actual superpowers that are ''literally'' straight out of superhero comicbooks. The best comparison they have is to compare the superpowers to exotechs, but coming up with counters is difficult when the superpowers are highly varied.

* WeHaveReserves: Truthseekers Corporation has a huge army of expendable clone soldiers that are outright called the Endless. This attitude of treating people as expendable even extended to higher ranking officers formally called the Enlightened.

** Defied by Revenant. He views his lieutenants, elite mooks, and even regular mooks as worth keeping alive and to treat them as expendable is a huge waste. He considers anyone who treats their minions, no matter how lowly, as expendable as a huge moron.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Revenant did horrible things to Demiurge, including making her lover Amplitude paraplegic and giving them false hope that Amplitude would be healed, and locking Demiurge up and be his personal goods factory, but he did that to her ''after'' she gassed Denver and killed five-hundred thousand people without his permission because Songbird was killed. That said, Revenant started it by killing Songbird out of paranoia of the threat Demiurge posed to him and framed the heroes and ''grossly'' miscalculated how Demiurge would react, something he admits.

* ToThePain: Revenant describes the kind of torture that ''might'' get performed on Udo Weber, if he doesn't cooperate with them. Revenant reflects that the ''threat'' is often enough to get some information without actually doing the torture.

* PyrrhicVictory: Though Revenant's group wins the battle against the Truthseekers Corporation, they don't really consider it a win because they only won through brute force only possible because their enemies didn't realise they gained more numbers and the Truthseekers have more soldiers to spare for future engagements.

* BeliefMakesYouStupid: Uniquely played with. The Truthseeker Corporation is a singularity cult that are fervent atheists and have indoctrination centres with a sprinkling of historical revisionism to enforce their worldviews that atheism is the only valid belief system and all old religions hold humanity back.

* ExactWords: The RPC Knight tells the Truthseeker forces that the wire they need to cut to disarm his bomb is red. [[spoiler:The Knight loves trolling, and it turns out ''all'' of the wires are red]].

* YouAreGrounded: [[spoiler:Revenant considers punishing Chronoshift for her acts making her legally an E-Rank Supervillain at the age of ''twelve'' by taking away her TV privileges, but before committing to that plan, he checks with Decay if his daughter actually enjoyed TV and his cousin informs him that it was another act of manipulation and that Chronoshift does not like TV. She just pretended to so if he does find out and punish her, it isn't really a punishment]].

* SuperSupremacist: In the in-universe ''Villain Academu'' story, Hypothermia was born to parents who were part of a cult that espoused Metahuman Supremacy and that a person's worth was tied to the strength of their individuality. Revenant for his part finds it incredibly baffling that Hypothermia's parents were fervent believers in spite of ''lacking individualities themselves''.
