Added DiffLines:

* VideoGameCaringPotential: A minor example, but in the level where Reed and Sue are being chased by the Ultra Bot, Reed can go out of his way to save random civilians from falling to their deaths as a result of their balconies being blasted away by Ultra Bot's missiles. Saving them or letting them fall does little beyond grant or deduct points to the player for the level. In the Museum levels, there's also one civilian trapped behind a chunk of debris that it's optional for Ben to save (though doing so also exposes an F4 Secret token). Then there's also the optional objectives in the Vault levels as described above under SaveTheVillain.

* SaveTheVillain: In the Vault levels, the (optional) secondary objectives involve trapping escaped convicts back in their cells (even as they try to attack you) in order to keep them safe from the murder-happy, malfunctioning security robots. Not only does letting the robots kill the convicts count as a failure condition, but so does taking them out in self-defense. One of the convicts even has to be grabbed by Reed or Ben before he [[TooDumbToLive runs over to an area of a damaged bridge]] that immediately gives underway, killing him.

** ThunderBeetle: There are monstrous stag beetle enemies in the Space Station stage. Near the end of the stage, the beetles get further mutated by the simulated cosmic radiation storm to possess electric powers.
** WickedWasps: The Space Station stage also features smaller wasps and larger hornets as enemies mutated by the cosmic storm. They continuously emerge from nests attached to the walls until said nests are destroyed.

* WeCanRuleTogether: Blastaar makes this kind of offer to Reed and Ben to let him out of his cell in the Vault. They do as much, not for Blastaar's sake so much as a byproduct of deactivating the dangerously malfunctioning security systems. The first thing Blastaar does to repay you is [[ILied try to kill you]].
* WhatTheHellHero: Nick Fury lectures the FF about the collateral damage in the wake of their battle with a giant robot before he arrests them and sends them to the Vault. The FF shoot back that they were only defending themselves and that Fury should be investigating Doom for manufacturing the robots that caused the incident. In other words, both sides have a "What the Hell, Hero" moment at the other's expense, in a way.

* KarmaHoudini: Diablo just gets away with no consequences after spending the entire Tikal stage trying to murder the FF. The Puppet Master is even worse, as he endangered not just the FF but dozens of museum visitors, and in the end escapes, without the FF even knowing that he was responsible.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* ForcedTutorial: UpToEleven. The tutorial is an entire section of levels where the player has to understand the differences between each member, gameplay-wise. It also gives emphasis on the platforming and puzzle sections that [[ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman can only be solved by a specific member]].
