No longer its own trope.


* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: One example of Ramy’s ButtMonkey status is her accidentally being punched by Bett when she recovers from the former hitting her with an extinguisher. The four cats in a trenchcoat reveal their identities when slipping on the floor.

[[folder: The synopsis for the introductory first chapter]]
After the brief appearance of the past superhero Steel-Heart, the eyeshadow-wearing redhead Ramy tells the {{Exposition}} of what the Heart Mafia has been doing to Micco City for many years. After she unsurely says that "it can't get worse from there," a brunette threatens to rob her at gunpoint, only for a black-haired superhero wannabe named Frida to bust in to stop her. Ramy knocks out the robber with a fire extinguisher, only for the former to awkwardly realize that the latter is her boss Ms. Bett playing a prank on her for sleeping on her job. However, a robbery happens at Biscuit Street Bank, and Frida gets there to show her [[HenshinHero powers]] to stop it. But Ramy, in a superhero suit, shows up to take the robber’s gun as the latter slips and reveals to be four mutant cats in a trenchcoat. Then both Ramy and Frida are rewarded with a bounty helping the police stop the criminals. Then the chapter ends with them being at Hero Burger and shaking hands as they introduce themselves.

* ArtEvolution: Since 2017, ‘’[=FireSoup=]’’ and its characters have gotten many changes such as preferences of clothing, physical details such as eye shapes, and even changed the physique sometimes such as making Ramy chubbier a few years after this comic was released. This trope even caused the comic’s art-style to be somewhat inconsistent in the first pages.

''[=FireSoup=]'' is a 2018 superhero comedy webcomic by Mexican artist/programmer [[https://www.deviantart.com/takkotito Takkotito]][[note]]formerly Coonstito/Coonsy-arts[[/note]] about the two main girls named Ramy and Frida having to beat the Heart Mafia, an criminal organization that has taken over Micco City and stops any hero.

The comic is available on [[http://firesoup-comic.tumblr.com/ the Tumblr blog]], on [[https://tapas.io/series/firesoup Tapas]], and [[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/firesoup/list?title_no=89901 Webtoon]]. As of 2021, the comic is also downloadable on [[https://takko26.itch.io/firesoup-1 itch.io]] where the first two panels are remade with different images and dialogue.

!!These tropes can't get worse from here, right?
* {{Animesque}}: References to the cartoony side of anime/manga art-styles include Ramy sometimes having a pink, blank mouth, and Frida’s open mouth showing a single sharp tooth[[note]]or fang[[/note]] like how a single crooked tooth is considered cute in Japan.
* ArtEvolution: Since 2017, ‘’[=FireSoup=]’’ and its characters have gotten many changes such as preferences of clothing, physical details such as eye shapes, and even changed the physique sometimes such as making Ramy chubbier a few years after this comic was released. This trope even caused the comic’s art-style to be somewhat inconsistent in the first pages.
* BankRobbery: This is what has happened to Biscuit Street Bank multiple times, and where Frida got her chance to show her powers.
* BigBad: The Heart Mafia is responsible for turning Micco City into a [[ToCreateAPlaygroundForEvil crime-ridden place]] where superheroes are just a dream.
* BlackBeadEyes: The blondine working at the bank has these eyes.
* CastOfSnowflakes: No two characters look alike in this comic, with a large variety of faces such as colored pupils without irises and even BlackBeadEyes, and different hairstyles like Ramy’s short bangs with a tuft on the back of her head.
* DamselInDistress: The girl at the bank is threatened at gunpoint by the burglar.
* GleefulAndGrumpyPairing: Frida is the one who’s gleeful about being a hero, while Ramy’s grumpy expressions put her in the latter.
* PieEyed: As Takko is a fan of the 1930s cartoon style and likes VideoGame/Cuphead, characters sometimes sport this trope when in a chibi form, aren’t in the focus in a shot, or are far away (which is often related to the second factor).
* PuniPlush: The characters are depicted with rounded heads, chins and even fingers.
* PunnyName:
** Ramy’s name is used here as a pun on “ramen,” which is more obvious if you know that she’s called “Noodles” as a superhero.
** The name of Frida’s superhero alias “[=FireDra=]” is a pun on both her name and “fire dragon.”
* RedOniBlueOni: On two occasions. Ramy is the blue one in both of them:
** Frida’s enthusiasm in being a hero and her love for challenges and action (red) contrasts Ramy’s laid-back, introverted personality, with the latter finding attention uncomfortable, so she may fight with passive aggression (blue).
** Before Frida, there’s the BenevolentBoss Miss Bett who wants to have fun and likes teasing and playing with her employee Ramy.
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: One example of Ramy’s ButtMonkey status is her accidentally being punched by Bett when she recovers from the former hitting her with an extinguisher. The four cats in a trenchcoat reveal their identities when slipping on the floor.
* ThickLineAnimation: This comic is not the first artwork by Takko to feature this trope.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Ramy, Frida and Miss Bett all play this trope in some way:
** While Ramy may not look girly at first, and [[https://twitter.com/takkotito/status/1578448480103976961/photo/1 has played baseball with Frida in one drawing]], some doodles show her having twintails or wearing something more feminine. [[https://twitter.com/takkotito/status/1550059967268458496/photo/1 This concept art of Ramy as a kid and a teen, opens the complexity of her sense of style]]. She also swears eyeshadow, and makeup is often considered feminine.
** Frida’s considered a tomboy, even if her girly streak is shown with her superhero suit forming into a dress when her powers are activated. [[https://www.deviantart.com/takkotito/art/Noodoodles-817311434 She has also worn dresses on other occasions]].
** Last but not the least obvious, Miss Bett likes wearing a French maid dress even though she’s like a cool figure.
* TotemPoleTrench: The burglar robbing the bank is four weird-looking cats in a trenchcoat.
* WordSaladTitle: Takko admitted [[https://www.deviantart.com/takkotito/art/Ramydoodles18-773372856 that the title is just something that he made up because it sounded like a “pulp magazine” title]].
* WorkOffTheDebt: Ramy mentions that she has to pay off a debt with the Mafia, but even if her minimum-wage job isn’t helping at all, working as a superhero has shown to be rewarding.
