* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Virgil's attempts to explain to his doctor why he wants blood tests without revealing he was at the Big Bang inadvertently make it sound like he's sexually active and afraid of having contracted some kind of infection. Virgil, thankfully, quickly realizes the misunderstanding and corrects it.

* NotAfraidOfYouAnymore: In his first confrontation against Hotstreak, Virgil chokes because he can't get past seeing Francis as his bully and feeling powerless against him.

* DramaticIrony: Robert going into a spiel at dinner about how all meta-humans are menaces to the city. It's one thing that he even pegs Static is a ticking time bomb for a monstrous mutation or a [[DrunkOnPower crazed villain]]. What he doesn't know is, Static is sitting right there in the form of his son, growing increasingly uncomfortable at the idea he could be the next abnormal meta-human.

* PyrrhicVictory: Lampshaded. Virgil relays the history of King Pyrrhus and how he beat the Romans at the expense of losing so many men, to the point where he might as well have lost the battle. He uses this as an allegory to Richie of how he feels about his ''own'' victory against Hotstreak. For context, he was able to defeat Hotstreak, but at the cost that he accidentally lost evidence of Alva Industries' involvement with the Big Bang accident.
