History WesternAnimation / TheAwesomes

** Jaclyn Stone, the best prosecutor in the biz, has an uncanny resemblance to [[PhoenixWrightAceAttorney Miles Edgeworth]], also highly esteemed prosecutor.

* NoNameGiven: Most of the heroes, as well as Concierge. We only only Prock's (Jeremy) and Sumo's (Tim).

** Impresario seem undergo some character development in a second season episode.

** Impresario seems to have undergone some character development in the latest episode.

** Gadget Gal is basically [[Comicbook/{{Watchmen}} Sally Jupiter/Silk Specter]].

After Mr. Awesome, the world's most beloved superhero, announces he's retiring, he reluctantly passes the mantle and leadership of the eponymous team off to his son, Jeremy (aka "Prock"). Prock is incredibly intelligent, but he's not cut out for being a hero, being a [[SquishyWizard rather nonathletic wimp]] with no leadership experience. After all the other members leave, save Prock's only friend on the team, [[DumbMuscle Muscle Man]], Prock is forced to build the team back up so as to keep the US Government to continue funding them. After filling out his roster with an eccentric group of superheroes who had been previously rejected for a litany of reasons, Prock and the new Awesomes have to learn to be a good team and prove themselves to the public.

** Concierge's appearance, voice, personality, and background are all uncannily similar to that of Alice Tompkins from ''WesternAnimation/TheCritic''.

* WellDoneSonGuy: Prock would really like his father to acknowledge him as a superhero. There are hints that Mr. Awesome ''would'' be proud of his son if Prock stuck to things he was actually good at, but that's not where Prock's heart is.

* AnAesop: Parodied in "The Awesomes Awesome Show", where Frantic [[spoiler: gets a gay action figure]]. When asked how he can tell it's gay he says "You can't, because at the end of the day, aren't we all the same?" complete with touching music. [[SubvertedTrope Also it comes with extra shoes and says "I am totally gay."]]

* RacistGrandma: Gadget Gal has some outdated attitudes about race, and her looking like a twenty-five year old means she doesn't get as much of a pass. Lampshaded in "The Awesomes Awesome Show" in regards to Frantic's homosexuality.

* StraightGay: Frantic is gay, and even has a boyfriend that visits Awesome Tower all the time. It's never mentioned before now because Prock never actually pays attention to anything Frantic does.

* [[AmericansHateTingle French People Hate Perfectman]]: InUniverse - We don't know exactly why, but Perfect Man is much less beloved in France than he is elsewhere.
** Season Two possibly explains this: he is ''insanely'' racist.

* WickedCultured: In addition to his interest in destroying the superheroes, Dr. Malocchio is quite the gourmet and an excellent cook. He's ''seriously'' offended that his minions want to order pizza instead of having his latest creation for dinner.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Hotwire.

* WickedCultured: In addition to his interest in destroying the superheroes, Dr. Malocchio is quite the gourmet and an excellent cook.

* TheAce: Perfect Man is an especially [[{{Jerkass}} arrogant]] version of one.

* BreakTheHaughty: Perfect Man seems to be going through one. He's convicted of treason (though his ego and racism played a big part in letting that happen) he's passed over as a new member is forcibly confined to the tower since he's a fugitive and found that most of the team thinks he's a joke.

** Although his choice of costume is completely different, Impresario's power is basically the same as {{Green Lantern}}'s (except that Impresario can't fly).

** Black Irish is {{Batman}}.

* FantasticRacism: An intelligent ape is prejudiced against humans. He's swift to clarify that he's got nothing against gay people, however.

* MirrorUniverse: Earth-4, where the heroes are the bad guys and vice versa. Also worth nothing, Mirror Mr. Awesome supported his son's desire to follow in his footsteps, and Tomboy is a man.

** The "Rhode Island Story" for Prock.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Season 1 has Muscle Man start as the routine DumbMuscle until he shows true sparks of intelligence later, and he has been developed to be a good listener and caring toward his friend Prock, along with an odd fetish for alien women. Season 2 has Gadget Girl cracking more jokes about her sexual tendencies, and even Prock's problem have become more about his own romantic misadventures rather than focusing on superherodom.

* FunWithAcronyms: Joyce Mandrake works to G.O.O.S.A (Government Office Of Superhero Affairs).

** SweetOnPollyOliver: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] and [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] with two respective characters. [[spoiler: The aversion happens with Prock. [[DramaticIrony While Prock hates Metalfella]] [[HateAtFirstSight at First Sight]] and soon warms up to him, [[HeterosexualLifePartners his feelings are completely platonic.]] The inversion happens with Gadget Gal, who wants to bang Metalfella immediately. While he’s fully-armored. Yeah, if you’re reading this and [[DestructoNookie you know how this can work without Gadget Gal breaking more than five bones]] give us a call.]]

* SmugSuper: Perfect Man.

* BigBad: Dr. Malocchio.
