* {{Excalibur}}: Superhero Avalon is the mythical [[TheLadyOfTheLake Lady of the Lake]], and she wields King Arthur's legendary sword due to a [[LoopholeAbuse loophole]] in Merlin's rules. The sword was meant only to be carried by King Arthur, but the Lady of the Lake had to be able to bequeath it upon him -- and thus she gained an exemption to the OnlyTheChosenMayWield clause.

Added "My Suit Is Also Super" to Tropes List

Added DiffLines:

* MySuitIsAlsoSuper: A recurring plot point in the comic is the use of Cortex: the fabric preferred for super suits by discerning heroes. Dyna Cuff made her fortune when she invented the "indestructible fabric of metastible molecules" [sic], and now it's an industry standard. It's heat resistant, flame retardant, and odor repellent. The fabric shows up several times:
** In an early episode, Laren sells her cortex sidekick suit because she needs money. She gets $8,000 for it and starts wearing a knockoff of lesser quality, but needs Zoe's help to get her hands on more Cortex and create a replacement before her boss finds out.
** When Zoe opens her own business, she designs custom superhero suits and sells cortex-imbued off-the-rack fashion.

Swapped "Sharing a Body" to "Two Beings One Body"


* SharingABody: [[spoiler: Silverman]] and his twin sister [[spoiler: Super Ego]] share the same body. It's unclear if it's only [[spoiler: Super Ego]] who has crime-fighting super powers, but it appears they both have the ability to swap their body's gender presentation based on whoever is in control at the time.

When [[spoiler: Silverman]] is in control, he takes the form of a young man with shaggy brown hair and brown eyes. The two of them start dating Quincy in the third season, as he's aware of their arrangement (and [[TwinThreesomeFantasy turned on by it]]).

--> '''Excelsior''': One last thing... while I have you-- there's something I've always wondered about... are you named after "Zoe" in [[Creator/JDSalinger Salinger's]] "Literature/FrannyAndZooey"? I was an English Major and kind of a Salinger nerd... I'm one of those guys who tracked down a copy of the June 19, 1965 New Yorker to read "Hapsworth 16, 1924". I have to say, it's a little hard to get through.\\
'''Zoe''': It's Zooey! "Franny and ''Zooey''!"\\
'''Excelsior''': I have a copy here, somewhere. I'm going to go check.
