* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: Defied. Hiro tries to do this, only to be matter-of-factly told that Hardlight is simply ''better'' at the game, and thus Hiro should instead stick to his own strengths and not play by Hardlight's rules.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Hiro mentions that Krei Tech is working on forcefield technology similar to Hardlight's own, but hasn't made a breakthrough. It turns out they're one and the same.
* HardLight: If the villain's name didn't give it away, Hardlight's technology allows him to create solid holograms.
