History YMMV / StretchArmstrongAndTheFlexFighters

* CaptainObviousReveal: [[spoiler: Riya]] being revealed as Blindstrike. [[spoiler: She openly expressed dislike for the Flex Fighters when Jake tried asking her out, she was a pretty [[FlatCharacter flat]] despite how much focus was given to her, and her talk to Jake about balancing her social life with her private life was practically FiveSecondForeshadowing]]. Now that the Flex Fighters know this secret, everyone at Creator/{{Hasbro}} seems to have pretty much given up trying to hide it, including Victor Cook.

* ItWasHisSled: [[spoiler: Rook is Stretch Monster]] . Go to any forum or video on the internet, and it'll be a major point of discussion. Despite this, the description for his figure hides this more effectively than the description for Blindstrike's figure does that character's secret.

** Jake himself is an obvious one to Spiderman, being an adorkable teenage boy who tries to balance his personal life with his superhero life, and has powers that allow him to swing around pretty much anyone. He's also reminiscent of Robin from ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' , mainly due to sharing the [[Creator/ScottMenville same voice actor]] .

** Jonathan Rook is like Max Modell, being a reasonable authority figure in a high position of power who's encouraging of his young protégés. [[spoiler: However, with the reveal that he's Stretch Monster, he's more like Norman Osborn, someone who maintains a good public image but is actually a villain. His Stretch Monster form even looks like the Green Goblin. His publicly slandering the heroes gives him some shades of J. Jonah Jameson.]]
** The Freak Sisters having long, stretchy hair they can weaponize is not too far off from Doctor Octopus' powers operate.

** Jake's father is much Gary Cole's own [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated Mayor Jones]] , being a stern, but loving and single father to a blond haired protagonist. They do differ a bit in that [[spoiler: Mark has genuine affection for his son while Mayor Jones became corrupted due to the Planispheric Disk.]] In addition, Mark doesn't know Jake is a Flex Fighter while Mayor Jones knows about Fred's mystery solving team.

** Steve's crush Erika visually resembles Mary Jane Watson (but with glasses), while having a more adorkable personality in line with Gwen Stacy.

CounterpartComparison: Considering the creators previously worked on [[WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan three]] [[WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan different]] [[WesternAnimation/MarvelsSpiderMan Spiderman shows]] , comparisons to the characters and settings were rather inevitable. Even then, they are reminiscent of other projects. For example:

* OlderThanTheyThink: People familiar with Stretch Armstrong from the 90's are surprised to not see Vac-Man as the BigBad instead of Stretch Monster, who was Stretch's original ArchEnemy from the 70's.

* ItWasHisSled: [[spoiler: Rook is Stretch Monster]] . Go to any forum or video on the internet, and it'll be a major point of discussion. Oddly, the description for his figure hides this more effectively than the description for Blindstrike's figure does that character's secret.

* TheWoobie: All three main characters fall into this. For Jake, he has the struggle with trying to be a hero and maintain his social and personal life. For Nathan, there's him trying to stand out in his family, and his confidence issues. Ricardo suffers from abandonment issues.

** Brick and Mortar are a rare villainous example that doesn't fall under JerkassWoobie. The reason they robbed banks was because [[spoiler: they needed money to fund a teleporter]] . The fact that they have an engaging dynamic like that of friends, and they intended to return the money, helps their case out.
* XMeetsY: It's ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'' meets ''WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan'' . It has a good amount of high school drama and personal issues of the former, while still mixing in the superhero team up aspect of the latter by focusing on three heroes [[spoiler: or four if you count Blindstrike]] . No surprise given that Victor Cook co-developed the former while Kevin Burke & Chris Doc Wyatt wrote for and eventually produced for the latter.

* {{Padding}}: The 46-minute, non-interactive version of "The Breakout", shown on devices unable to let viewers choose the directions, picks some of the obviously stupid-sounding choices (e.g., fighting Multi-Farious without putting gear on first), so that the viewer could see both scenarios.

** A cartoon about three teenage superheroes who's powers come from a FreakLabAccident, an AppliedPhlebotinum that's the source of power for both heroes and villains, and one of the main antagonists is a [[spoiler: CorruptCorporateExecutive VillainWithGoodPublicity]]. Is this Stretch Armstrong, or WesternAnimation/Zevo3?
