* VillainOverForDinner: Arlo invites Remi to meet and ask questions of his aunt with the Authorities over lunch to prove the Authorities are actually investigating Rei's death and can be trusted. Remi quickly realizes Arlo's aunt is [[spoiler:Volcan]] who nearly killed Remi, and did kill Rei, confirming her suspicion that the Authority is behind the recent EMBER murders of superheroes. Unfortunately Arlo's aunt recognizes Remi as the masked hero X-Rei and through her identifies Issen and Blyke as her assistants marking their files as discontents to be targeted with the Authorities.

* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: How society works in the unOrdinary world. You have status based on your power, though this includes people with noncombat powers that are useful to the powerful people as well, like the LivingLieDetector who works for the Authorities or Elaine with her HealingHands. Thus AuthorityGrantsAsskicking is often but not always true.

Added DiffLines:

* TalkingIsAFreeAction: Sometimes characters find time to talk even during heightened speed dashes, but the single case of Seraphina [[spoiler: and her fight with John]] stands out, because her skillset relies on freezing time for everyone but herself, meaning characters shouldn't even be able to hear her speak when she lunges to attack.

** [[spoiler: Those who know of John's ability and what he can do are visibly unnerved by his presence.]] Shedding this and seeing people more comfortable around him after [[spoiler:his fight with Seraphina]] is a big part of his CharacterDevelopment.

* NobodyCanDie: the powers of many of the strongest characters seem to be lethal. Remi shoots lightning, Blyke's beams can pierce through someone's body, others have super strong claws or can cause explosions, not to mention Arlo being able to break walls with a single punch. The fights are depicted as rather bloody, but the worst that has happened to students getting in fights, is a short hospital stay, no deaths and no permanent crippling. Either those teenagers exert a LOT of self-control, or their powers aren't that powerful. [[spoiler:So far, the most serious cases were Sera getting stabbed by a normal knife, and Alana's cold-blooded murder by Volcan, the only on-screen death. In both cases, the prerpetrator was an adult]].


Added DiffLines:

* PowerParasite: Both [[spoiler:Spectre and Ember use conversion technology in order take powers from others and implant them to their members.]]


Added DiffLines:

* ThouShallNotKill: The powers of many of the strongest characters would be lethal under normal circumstances, such as lightning and lasers. And the fights are depicted as rather bloody, but when the students fight they tend to avoid doing anything permanent crippling due to self-control as part of their mastery. [[spoiler:Averted when it comes to Spectre and EMBER, both of whom actively attempt to kill targets who serve no use to them.]].
