History Webcomic / TheYoungProtectors

* OccultDetective: According to WordOfGod, "[Spooky's] work outside of The Young Protectors does involve what are essentially 'occult investigations'."

** Arc 2, "Past Sins": More light is shed on Spooky's past, his tormentous time in Hell, his "light in the darkness" ([[spoiler:a helpful demons named Anaado]]).

** Red Hot's [[PlayingWithFire fiery powers]] are also EmotionalPowers, which includes orgasm. As a result, Kyle is terrified of even masturbation, [[CelibateHero let alone finding a sexual partner]], as the last time he had ADateWithRosiePalms he burned down his foster parents' house.

* CelibateHero: Kyle up until recently. His [[PlayingWithFire fire powers]] are augmented by his [[EmotionalPowers emotions]], which includes orgasm. After burning down his foster parents' home after his first [[ADateWithRosiePalms date with Rosie Palms]] as a kid, he swore never to experience that pleasure, even with himself, again.

** Kyle's backstory on the discovery of his [[PlayingWithFire fire powers]] is both tragic and [[ADateWithRosiePalms humiliating]].

* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumour: Of the "sick and twisted sense of humor" variety, though fairly minor. When Kyle reveals the first time he discovered he could [[PlayingWithFire play with fire]] was during ADateWithRosiePalms that caused him to accidentally burn down his foster parents' house, Annihilator laughs. Quickly subverted, however, when Annihilator realizes Kyle [[DudeNotFunny isn't exaggerating]], and in fact gravely hurt his foster sister and was abandoned by his foster parents after the incident.

* BridalCarry: [[http://webcomics.yaoi911.com/archive/ete-ch2-page-1/ Here]]. Kyle even comments that it feels "[A] bit, uh...[[{{Superman}} Lois Lane]]".

** Everybody's quite liberal with them, with Kyle calling Fluke "Paul" in public and the Annihilator calling the Platinum Priestess [[AwesomeMcCoolName "Sircea"]] in front of a hero. The Annihilator also has no problem at all revealing his name (Duncan Wells, from Brighton) to Kyle.
** [[spoiler: According to the Annihilator, the names of Kyle's teammates are an OpenSecret to both the other heroes and villains alike.]]

* OhCrapThereAreFanficsOfUs: In an interlude chapter, the team finds out they have some [[YaoiFangirl very creative fans]] online. Tsunami is disgusted, Fluke finds it hilarious, and Spooks is offended... [[ComicallyMissingThePoint that he's]] [[{{Wimpification}} not the one on top]].

* [[DangerousSixteenthBirthday Dangerous Eighteenth Birthday]]: According to the Annihilator, superheroes under the age of eighteen are off-limits to supervillains, [[EvenEvilHasStandards a policy enforced by himself among others]]. Kyle learns this on his eighteenth birthday, and takes it as a warning that his protection has expired. [[spoiler:[[WhamEpisode He's right.]]]]

* BiggusDickus: [[spoiler: Several readers have noted Laampros's shadowed crotch bears a very... intimidating, distinct outline. He IS apparently a demon, after all.]] [[spoiler: Based on some Patreon artwork, this has been made canon.]]
* {{Blackmail}}: Annihilator to Kyle. [[spoiler: averted, since he later admits he wasn't going to out Kyle as gay whether he kissed him or not.]]

** Spooky later on states that birthdays carry magical powers that can be taken advantage of using certain spells. [[spoiler: Spooky himself was transported to Hell on his thirteenth birthday and spent a year there before he somehow managed to get out.]]

** [[spoiler: But that might have been a lie, if the statement of the Platinum Priestess in Chapter 3 is [[{{wouldhurtachild}} ANY indication]]...]]
