Dwindling Party is the version for heroes. Legion Of Doom is the villain version of the trope.


* DwindlingParty: When Salem and Atlas go to war in Volume 8, the villains begin losing members as a result. Cinder kills Watts as pay back for dissecting her character flaws, Neo's loss of patience with being unable to prioritise avenging Roman's death triggers a chain of events resulting in her giving up her life in the Ever After in the hope of being able have a new life from reincarnation, and Hazel sacrifices his life to give Oscar, Emerald and Yang's team the ability to escape from Salem. By the end of the Atlas Arc, only Cinder, Tyrian and Mercury remain, but with the implication that Mercury's loyalty has been undermined.

Added DiffLines:

* DisposableDecoyDoppelganger: Though Neo's MasterOfIllusion powers may seem less fit for combat than other Semblances, she proves to be quite dangerous with her ability to create illusory copies of herself to distract her opponents while she attacks from another angle. She's so proficient at this trick her opponents often struggle against it even while fighting in close quarters. [[spoiler:However, she ditches this move in favor of [[DopplegangerAttack making armies]] once her powers reach RealityWarper levels]].

The Abusive Parents trope is already covered in Marcus' section, no need to duplicate it here.


* AbusiveParents: Mercury makes it clear in Season 6 that not only did he have a fight to the death with his dad, but elaborates on something that was previously only alluded to in his {{Leitmotif}}: Marcus was absolutely terrible to his son, being both physically and emotionally abusive while shaping him to be a weapon for killing. While Mercury denies any problems with the path his life has lead him down, it's rather clear Marcus has left his mark on him.

* DoWellButNotPerfect: During his match with Yang, he all but puts up a fight that she only barely ''just'' wins. But it's all but stated that getting a narrow victory was required to give more credence to the idea of a sudden "attack" on Mercury.



* HanicappedBadass: His legs from the knees down are completely prosthetic, but it does anything but slow him down considering how effective he is as a fighter.



* PowerLossMakesYouStrong: Marcus' reasoning for taking Mercury's Semblance. After Mercury unlocked it, Marcus used his own Semblance to steal it, explaining it was a crutch that would only make Mercury weak, but told him he could have it back when he got stronger. Eventually, Mercury killed Marcus but never got it back.

After Mercury unlocked it, Marcus used his own Semblance to steal it, explaining it was a crutch that would only make Mercury weak, but told him he could have it back when he got stronger. Eventually, Mercury killed Marcus but never got it back. This doesn't make Mercury stronger as much as it makes him more bitter, as no matter what he did, he was not strong enough to "earn" his semblance back, not even killing his father earned it back, and left lingering feelings of resentment on Mercury himself to add onto his already solid reasoning to hate his dad.



* WillfullyWeak: During his initial fight with Yang, Mercury seems to be about even with Yang, if not a bit slower than her. Once she almost forces him out the ring, Mercury's attacks are a lot faster and implement the use of dust to just barely leave his opponent with one point to spare, and even then he was ''still'' holding back.



* EnigmaticMinion: Neo is a mute woman with exceptional combat skill; she works for Roman, to whom she is completely loyal. That is all that is known about her; why she's so loyal to Roman, why she's a better fighter than him, and what her back story is in general is completely unknown. As her Semblance appears to be related to the creation of illusions that shatter like glass when dispelled, even the nature of her ability to change eye colours is a mystery.
