* LaughinglyEvil: The Comedian is essentially a sane version of ComicBook/TheJoker. Many of his jokes are actually pretty funny. It is a shame that he is also one of the most ruthless villains in the series, and doesn't care who gets hurt in his schemes, so long as the payoff is funny (to him).

''The Amazing Extraordinary Friends'' is a New Zealand children's program featuring the adventures of a modern day superhero teenage boy and his friends.

Ben Wilson, an 'ordinary' New Zealand teenager, goes on a school trip and finds a mysterious metal insignia. The insignia turns him into Captain Extraordinary (Captain X), a superhero whith great powers. But being Captain X brings Ben no end of grief. He is chased by the evil Renfield and his goons. Ben hasn't even mastered flying and suddenly he's expected to save the city from all kinds of villainous plots. But with the help of his family and friends who turn into Captain X's sidekicks, Captain X can save the city.

* CarnivalOfKillers: In "Quality Time", Renfield hires the 'world's greatest super assassins' (the Invisible Ninja, Captain Tardy, Geyser Girl and the Easter Bunny) to eliminate the Friends.
* {{Fartillery}}: The supervillain Geyser Girl has farts capable of knocking people unconscious.
* TheHeartless: In one episode, AppliedPhlebotinum splits the heroes into separate beings embodying their good and evil sides (although their 'evil' sides are selfish more than anything else).
