History Webcomic / StarPower

* EvilCostumeSwitch: Played for laughs. [[spoiler:When Danica gains a new costume with black aspects from the Star Power reemerging, one of her guards keeps insisting it means she's turned evil.]]

* LastMinuteHookUp: [[spoiler: Danica and Burke]] share their [[TheBigDamnKiss first kiss]] on the penultimate page.

* InstantExpert: As soon as she gains her powers, Danica is able to perform powered maneuvers through space[[note]]that is, she can "fly"[[/note]], fire energy blasts and erect shields, with no training or practice. [[spoiler: She single-handedly hands humiliating defeat to a group of well-armed veteran raiders who attack the station and try to kill her.]] She also has complete control and is never in danger of, say, accidentally punching holes in a nearby wall when she sneezes (though she can't stop the light her TransformationSequence from nearly blinding everyone nearby, or frying any local security cameras).

* TheSvengali: Mitch, to some extent. It's clearly withholding information from Danica regarding the history and abilities of the Star Powered Sentinels, though to what end is not currently clear.

* ShoutOut: Danica's father quotes [[Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood Mr. Roger's]] advice to a child scared by frightening events: "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping."

* AbortedArc: There was some setup regarding Danica's issues with her mother, but the final volume doesn't bring her up at all, and we never learn exactly why their relationship is strained.

* AndroidsArePeopleToo: Enforced by the Zori, who have created true artificial intelligence and consider them the children of their species. [[spoiler:When Black Hole Bill is finally arrested, the Zori-made A.I. he killed to cover his tracks gets him marked as a child killer by their race and sent to their homeworld for his punishment. It's implied that his prison term there will be very, ''very'' unpleasant.]]

* DoesNotLikeShoes: A number of characters go barefoot, most prominently Danica in her Star Powered Sentinel uniform, as well as the Chief of Security, the Countess, and various aliens aboard Space Sanctuary Six. Danica's case may be a quirk of the uniform; it's possible all of the Star Powered Sentinels lacked foot coverings, or the Star Power may not have given her any because she was barefoot when she was empowered. The other cases are justified due to alien physiology and cultural mores.

* MoralMyopia: There is no "right" side on the green vs purple war. Speaking with the purple-haired Vebenians, it would seem that the downtrodden Vebenians are guilty of DisproportionateRetribution, responding to internment camps with genocide, but speaking with the oppressors, the Evebians, by their own admission, the Evebians are the ones guilty of DisproportionateRetribution, seeking to KillThemAll as a result of a fight where ''one Vebenians killed one Evebian'', and we don't even know the circumstances of that particular fight. The Vebenians retaliating and judging the Evebians by their own standards only serves to convince the Evebians that they were right, and genocide of the Vebenians in the first place was the correct reaction.
