* ComesGreatResponsibility: Played with but mostly averted. Cornelius interprets responsibility as restructuring society and the immediate motivation of most of the teens is to hide their powers, although they do act somewhat altruistically. The future suggests that most of them avert this '''hard'''.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Masquerade}}: Actively defied, as a good deal of the students want to use their powers and there's already been several blatant moments of superpowers (A car getting crushed against Terry's body, Johnathon's unrefined speed and flight causing property damage, and a New Ager robber). In addition to that, Trent's [[CruelAndUnusualDeath death]] is clearly the act of something inhuman.

Added DiffLines:

* ShoutOut: Cornelius' deal with the Void leads to a [[Manga/DeathNote notebook]] that acts as a supernatural kill list. Very heavily lampshaded by Cornelius.
