* EscapedFromTheLab: [[spoiler:The protagonist has done this ''twice''. They managed to escape the Special Directive's clutches and become Sidestep, but were recaptured in the aftermath of the Heartbreak Incident. They then manage to escape again roughly two years before the events of the first game]]. The second game reveals that [[spoiler:Shroud]] is also an escapee.

* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: [[ArtificialHuman Re-Genes]] have blue-gray skin to further distinguish them from normal humans. [[spoiler:The protagonist is a notable exception.]]

* ArtificialHuman: The Re-Genes. While on paper they're supposed to be mindless stem cell clones who exist solely to be [[WalkingTransplant organ donation fodder]], the US government routinely use them as super soldiers by outfitting them with AI minds and superpowers. [[spoiler:The protagonist was part of this latter group, and one of their possible motivations for going villain is to expose the government's shady dealings to the world.]]

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: The Protagonist and Ortega battle against a cheerful fellow called the Psychopathor in flashbacks.

* SuperSoldier: Thanks to the prevalence of both cybernetics and a SuperSerum, the US Government have been employing them since Vietnam. In the present day the most elite group of these are the Re-genes, a special ops group of vat grown artifical humans [[spoiler:that the protagonist was orginally part of.]]

* KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: The protagonist has the opportunity to do this to Herald during their first fight. If they choose not to, it's explicitly because they've exploited this trope to their benefit many a time during their stint with the Rangers.

* KickThemWhileTheyAreDown:The protagonist has the opportunity to do this to Herald during their first fight. If they choose not to it's because they've seen many a villain fall after letting their guard down while getting one last hit in (and often it was because the protagonist themselves baited them into it).

* DestinationDefenestration: [[spoiler: It's revealed in a flashback that this happened to the MC during their last mission with the Rangers, before their life took a turn for the worst.]]

Written by Malin Rydén and published by Creator/ChoiceOfGames' user submitted "Hosted Games" label, the ''Fallen Hero'' series follows the adventures of the Main/PlayerCharacter who, as the title suggests, is a Main/FallenHero. In a world filled with superheroes, supervillains, and people with abilities, the Player Character was originally a superhero named Sidestep. Possesing telepathic abilities, they helped the SuperTeam the Rangers during numerous missions. That is, until something happened to them. Now, the PC is on the path towards villainy, and plans on becoming the most feared villain in Los Diablos.

* BrownNote: [[spoiler: The nature of the Heartbreak Incident. Some sort of a signal caused the inhabitants of an apartment complex [[DrivenToSuicide to kill themselves]], with the signal's radius spreading. The Rangers, consisting of Steel, Ortega, the MC, and Anathema were sent to stop it. Unfortunately, Anathema was unable to resist and ended up using their own acidic abilities to kill themselves, while the protagonist threw themselves through a window. Only Ortega was immune due to being epileptic, while Steel was (mostly) protected by a psychic dampener his exosuit was powering.]]

* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: You can deliver one to [[spoiler: Herald]] if you so please, going so far as to KickThemWhenTheyAreDown. Coupled with a TheReasonYouSuck speech.

** There's a covert-ops group known as the Special Directive. They generally get deployed into war-zones or as assassins, and are comprised of Re-Genes, who were vat-grown as superheroes with all the powers, but none of the rights.
