7* CaptainGeographic: A little bit--Carter did have a very...uh...[[Series/LoveAmericanStyle truer than the red, white and blue]] costume.
8* CaptainSuperHero
9* ClarkKenting: Interestingly enough, only in the first episode.
10* ClarkKentOutfit: Carter had one of these.
11* ComedicHero: Carter/Captain Nice, of course.
12* LineOfSightName: To a certain extent--Carter comes up with the name "Captain Nice" because of the initials "CN" (Carter Nash) on his belt buckle.
13* LovesMyAlterEgo: In an interesting flip, Sergeant Kane is actually in love with Carter, and tells Captain Nice that she doesn't go for "muscle men."
14* MommasBoy: Carter has a bad case of this.
15* PunnyName: Candy Kane.
16* SuperHeroesWearCapes: Lampshaded by Mrs. Nash in the first episode.
17* SuperZeroes: Captain Nice's superpowers included superhuman strength, invulnerability and the ability to fly, but he was nervous about doing the latter as he was afraid of heights, and his natural clumsiness was increased exponentially whenever he drank his super serum.
