* NonUniformUniform: The students of Hero Elementary are like this; each of the classes/teams seems to have a uniform of sorts, but the members each individualize it.
** For example, the main characters, the Sparks' Crew, have a basic uniform of a blue or white top with the school insignia, red gloves, and blue bottoms, but Lucita wears a skirt with leggings, Benny wears shorts and AJ and Sara wear pants. As for the tops, Sara wears a hoodie and Benny wears a short-sleeved sweater vest, while AJ and Lucita wear long-sleeved shirts. Interestingly enough, these outfits sync up somewhat with their out-of-school clothes.
** For Team Tornado, Freeze Louise has the team logo on a sweater, while Petie Heat wears it on a shirt underneath a jean jacket.
** For The Mighty Brights, Amazing Memory Kid and Rubberband Robbie both have shirts with the logo on it and shorts, but Turbo Tina wears a full suit.
* NotTheNessie: Viral videos of lake monster "Soupie" chasing boaters prompt an investigation by the Sparks Crew, who discover it's actually [[spoiler:a sunken and algae-coated swan boat from a defunct water park, which passing lake vessels keep snagging and pulling to the surface]].

The "Sparks' Crew" includes Lucita Sky, an empathetic natural leader with the power to fly – and a fear of heights; AJ Gadgets, a superhero who is passionate about all things “super” and has the ability of thought projection and making super gadgets – and who also happens to be on the Autism spectrum; Sara Snap, who’s tiny, but mighty, with super strength and the power to teleport; and Benny Bubbles, a loyal and protective animal lover with a heart of gold, who can create amazing bubbles that double as force fields and more. Both Mr. Sparks and Lucita are bilingual Spanish/English speakers. Rounding out the crew is Fur Blur, the class hamster with an epic appetite and super speed. Their teacher is the quirky and enthusiastic Mr. Sparks.

* {{Acrofatic}}: Benny has a bit more weight compared to everyone else, yet he's still effective at being a great hero.



* AnimalLover: Benny loves animals, especially Fur Blur.
* BigEater: Despite his big size, Benny actually avoids this. On the flip side, Sara plays this straight despite her small size. In "Monster Hunters", the "small snack" she has looks like an average restaurant kids meal.
* BlackAndNerdy: AJ is the brains of Sparks' Crew. He can project thoughts from his mind and is an expert gadget maker.



* CharacterNarrator: Mr. Sparks, in addition to being the heroes' teacher, is also the one who narrates the episodes.
* CharacterTics: Whenever he's overwhelmed, AJ flaps his hands to calm himself down. This is a common [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stimming stim]] for autistic people such as AJ.



* ComboPlatterPowers: Sara has SuperStrength and can teleport.
* CoolTeacher: Mr. Sparks, who teaches the heroic elementary school students. As his method of teaching, he usually avoids giving his students the answers they seek right away; instead, he usually asks them guiding questions to help them think critically and figure out the solutions themselves, after which he congratulates them.



* FloatingInABubble: Benny sometimes does this, like in "Saved From the Bell".



* GadgeteerGenius: AJ is great at inventing gadgets that he and his friends can use. He invented a working robot in "An Uphill Task", which he entered in the science fair.



* GratuitousSpanish: Mr. Sparks often inserts Spanish into his dialogue. So does Lucita, albeit more rarely.



* IronicFear: Lucita Sky has the ability to fly, but if she looks down while she's flying she gets dizzy from a fear of heights, so she has to avoid looking down to make full use of her flight.
* IronicName: Lucita Sky is a girl who can fly, yet she's afraid of heights.
* JetPack: AJ uses a jetpack to fly, mostly when the Sparks' Crew is navigating the city.



* TheLeader: Lucita Sky usually serves this role among the four students.
* LeeroyJenkins: Sara is known for acting before she thinks, usually when it involves her super-strength being used to accidentally make things worse.



* MentalPictureProjector: AJ can project his thoughts for others to see. This aids in brainstorming for the creation of his gadgets, and also for formulating plans with his team. Unlike most examples, he does this of his own volition instead of being forced to by aliens.
* MixedAncestry: According to [[https://tpt.instructure.com/courses/29/pages/sara-snap?module_item_id=1042 this page]], Sara is mixed Asian and white.



* OlderThanTheyLook: AJ nearly lampshades this when he mentions that he is 7 years old despite his adolescent voice.



* PintSizedPowerhouse: Sara Snap is the shortest of the four students, but in addition to her teleportation she also has super strength, so she is the strongest of the four students as well.



* TeleportSpam: Sara Snap has the ability to teleport by snapping her fingers, so she can travel quickly if she snaps her fingers multiple times.



* TokenWhite: Benny is the only white member of the main cast.



* TwoferTokenMinority: AJ Gadgets is both autistic and African American.
* YouthfulFreckles: Benny, Petie, and Louise all have freckles on their faces.
* WesternZodiac: Sara's [[https://www.facebook.com/HeroElementary/photos/a.146407493577080/180107313540431/?type=3 birthday]] is on September 17, making her a Virgo.
