** ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: The Annihilator seems to have no trouble with money, seeing as he can spend over $200 a plate on his RedHeadedHero dinner date.

* NinetiesAntiHero: Hunter and Killer, the vigilantes who show up to fight Annihilator in Hong Kong. They're cocky [[JerkAss Jerkasses]] who don't care about collateral damage in the service of their work.

* Foreshadowing: Kyle's very first line (before we know anything about him or even his name) is, "Oh, to hell with it". Then chapter two rolls around, and [[spoiler: the statement has become literal]].

** [[ZigzaggedTrope Depending on your point of view,]] Fluke's power is either this or CursedWithAwesome. His power is "balancing luck", so if he wants to grant good luck to the people he saves, bad stuff must happen to him on a regular basis. But then again, he loves to save people,so he's willing and eager to go with it.

* BuryYourGays: [[spoiler: Will be deliberately averted, according to Word of God.]] You can read Alex's (somewhat spoilery) comments on the subject on [[http://webcomics.yaoi911.com/archive/ete-ch2-page-32/ this page]].

* [[spoiler: ImmortalitySeeker: The Annihalator. He summons a demon specifically for this purpose.]]

* LoveAtFirstSight: Kyle and Duncan's romance is very abrupt, one encounter in a shady alley and a date in Hong Kong and the Annihilator is already telling Kyle being with him makes him want to try and be a better person, and Kyle, a previously CelibateHero, is asking Duncan to be his first the night of his eighteenth birthday.

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: The Annihilator. So far though, he doesn't seem so bad...

* ParentalAbandonment: After his [[PlayingWithFire powers]] manifested and he [[DarkAndTroubledPast accidentaly burned down their home and scarred their child]], Kyle's foster parents couldn't even look him in the eye anymore.

* ShipperOnDeck: It seems like the Platinum Priestess seems to ship Kyle/Annihilator.

* WhenTheClockStrikesTwelve: Complete with a ShoutOut to Disney.

** 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 parent's house.

* BuryYourGays: [[spoiler: Will be deliberately averted, according to Word of God.]]
* CelibateHero: Kyle up until recently. His [[PlayingWithFire fire powers]] are augmented by his [[EmotionalPowers emotions]], which includes orgasm. After burning down his foster parent's home after his first [[ADateWithRosiePalms date with Rosie Palms]] as a kid, he swore never to experience that pleasure, even with himself, again.

* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumour: A temporary swerve into Type 2, 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 parent's house, Annihilator laughes. Quickly averted, 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.

* AffablyEvil: Annihilator.

** Confirmed and Justified during the date in Hong kong; Pummeling an anti-hero while yelling at him not to be a dick.
