History PlayingWith / HeroUnit

* '''Exaggerated''': [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever Whoever you pick is inside a 12 foot tall mecha]], has access to a hell of an arsenal, and is the most powerful unit on the team.

* '''Invoked''': The superior of the 4 badasses, Col. Billy T. Finnigan (Clay's dad), explicitly states to get out there and engage in combat in case sheer strength in numbers aren't working.

* '''Reconstructed''': One high-ranking General points out that it would be an obscene waste of time and resources to just throw the team into regular battles when they'd be better used for small spec-ops missions.

* '''Deconstructed''': Flash and his team are [[SuperSoldier super-soldiers]] who went through grueling medical procedures and training to become fearsome warriors... Unfortunately, they are quickly overwhelmed by regular troops who may not have the firepower that they have, [[QualityVsQuantity but there are just so many of them]] that the team is quickly killed because they're bigger targets.

* '''Played for Drama''': The procedures it took to make them Hero Unites make them feel like dehumanized living weapons.

* '''Justified''': They've got better training than the other soldiers. And they're just plain bigger than the soldiers.

* '''Exploited''': Of course, due to the WeCannotGoOnWithoutYou situation, enemies begin targeting the 4 badasses. A counter exploitation would be that the 4 badasses essentially get themselves into trouble and have the rest of the army take out the enemies.

* '''Straight''': Players in ''Mars Mayhem'' can select 4 characters: [[TheBigGuy Sgt. Gunny Flash Young]], who has access to most of the offensive skills and has the best firepower (mainly through his [[GatlingGood minigun]]), [[TheMedic L. Cpl. Alicia P. Navarro]], who has access to most of the healing and defense skills (being able to put on a [[BarrierWarrior portable Power Shield]] and can send out AutoDoc drones to heal teammates), [[TheSneakyGuy S. Sgt. Ulysses Smalls]], who has access to most of the recon and stealth skills (using an InvisibilityCloak forcefield that can blanket both him and his teammates), and [[JackOfAllStats PFC Clay T. Finnigan]], who's got a little of everything (a [[MoreDakka light machine gun]], a [[LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe one-man Power Shield]], and a personal InvisibilityCloak that can only turn him invisible). The things that they all have in common is that they tower over the [[{{Mooks}} Soldiers]] and that they can easily regroup said soldiers.

* '''Downplayed''': They've got decent firepower, but not like [[GiantMook the Machine Gunners]], good healing skills, but not like [[TheMedic the Bio Squad]], and alright stealth skills, but not like [[ArmyScout the Recon Unit]], yet have unparalleled leadership and morale skills.

* '''Subverted''': While there are prominent characters, they're mostly in cutscenes. Flash is in command, Alicia runs the medical bay, Ulysses often assigns recon missions, and Clay's the back up in case any of them are unavailable.

Navarro]] and Sgt. Flash respectively, and gives off an unparalleled leadership aura to his team.
