3It's sorta like a mash-up of ''ComicBook/SupermansPalJimmyOlsen'', ''Literature/HighFidelity'' and ''Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy''
4----
5!!This work provides examples of:
6* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d when the main character decides to pursue a career in crimefighting after his beloved 1975 Vespa is stolen.
7%%* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:The Green Lama]]
8* LightningLash: Lilywatt has whips that she charges with electricity.
9%%* TheLoad:
10* MadeOfPhlebotinum: ''FC''!'s superheroes can do all those superhero-y things that are impossible in the real world thanks to "Malphysical Particles", which create a cosmic loophole in the laws of physics, rendering them "malleable".
11* NotSoDifferentRemark: When the protagonist tells the big bad ''"...you know, we really aren't so different, you and I. Us, I mean."'' -- the villain is compelled to list off all the ways they are emphatically ''not'' alike.
12* PublicDomainCharacter: Pulp novel/comic book hero Green Lama serves as MrExposition and CynicalMentor.
13* PunnyName: SinisterMinister Deacon Struck. Because the story is all about [[GenreDeconstruction deconstructing]] the superhero genre. Get it?
14%%* ShockAndAwe: Lilywatt
15* {{Stripperific}}: The electrified-whip wielding heroine Lilywatt goes undercover as a stripper (but ''only'' because the plot demands it).
