37* FogFeet: A part of being a ghost

45* NoSell: She can't consume those that are already dead such as {{ComicBook/Deadman}} and the [[ComicBook/TheSpectre Hal Jordan Spectre]]. ComicBook/{{Lobo}} was also barely affected by the experience due to being BarredFromTheAfterlife.
46* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Before to finding out what her name was prior to her murder she went by Suzie as picked out by Cissie and before that she was known as "the mist girl".

48* RetiredBadass: After being turned into a normal human girl, much to her [[IJustWantToBeNormal delight]].

50* {{Unishment}}: [[spoiler:Darkseid punishes her by removing her powers and turning her into a normal human girl, which is what she has wanted from the start.]]

75* ImprobableAimingSkills: Arrowette was assumed to be just another BadassNormal with a bow. Turns out that ever since she was a toddler, she could throw three darts at a time and hit a bullseye, and see things at a distance that her mother needed binoculars to see.

At which point Cissie angrily states she quit being Arrowette because she didn't want to be defined by the boys like Cassie supposedly each (which contradicts the above mentioned HeroicBSOD as well as her issues with her mother and the death of her counselor as the ''actual'' reasons she quit) and tells Cassie after they find the boys she's done with ''all'' of them.

257----
258* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: As a side effect of Eryx's influence on her appearance her hair does not get tangled even though she wears it long and loose.
259* BlessedWithSuck: While she finds ways to make what Eryx endowed her with work for her inspiring lust and desire in most people she comes in contact with and having no control over it can lead to uncomfortable situations regularly with the potential to easily produce horrifying results.
260* CleavageWindow: Her costume has ''two'' though one is too high to really show any cleavage the other gives a gratuitous shot of Underboobs. Technically she's wearing another layer underneath the one with the cutouts but it's always drawn as so transparent and vacuumed to her form that it's usually difficult to tell.

263* MagicContractRomance: Eryx enchanted Damara in return for her hand in marriage.
264* MostCommonSuperPower: When you give a Greek god influence over his future wife's appearance it's only to be expected that he would give her an ample bosom.

274----
275* CursedWithAwesome: Tyson's ability to turn invisible is pretty cool but a teen who feels insecure and ignored is understandably not appreciative of being able to disappear.
276* HappilyAdopted: By the Weinburgs prior to their deaths.
277* ImpossiblyCoolClothes: The cutouts on his sleeves should prevent them from fitting so well.
278* OneSteveLimit: Blinside is also the name of a Superman villain.

287----
288* TheBabyOfTheBunch: She really is the baby sister of the group so they all treat her accordingly.
289* CursedWithAwesome: Her electrokinesis is pretty neat, but she doesn't view it this way as in combination with her temperament it could make her tantrums and moments of being upset potentially fatal for those around her.
290* GirlishPigtails: The young girl usually keeps her hair in twintails.
291* PinkMeansFeminine: Her supersuit is pink and white.
292* PowerIncontinence: Her grip on her powers slips when she's upset.

332This Canadian member of a large family of metahumans is one of Superboy's friends. She was among those whose latent meta-genes were activated by spinal-fluid-sucking space parasites which were attacking Metropolis.
