This series contains examples of:

• The Cameo: Loads of characters show up in these, mostly to add shows into The 'Verse.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: Some characters are given early appearances before their proper introductions to the plot (e.g. Lilo & Stitch, Dexter).
  • Unexpected Character: The various cameos that are sprinkled throughout can cause some questions about the timeline. For example, Cad Bane plays a part in "Ultimate Rocking Rivals Unite".
• Contrived Coincidence: What are the chances that heroes of each story would end up at the same Fan Convention, take part in the same Battle of the Bands concert, plus end up taking a vacation to Hawaii and not ending up in a villain's clutches?
• Combination Attack: Danny Phantom and SheZow do this by combining their Make Me Wanna Shout abilities. SheZap/SheSpook was able to replicate this once she gained ghost powers.
• Crisis Crossover: The series as a whole, though this was more prominent in "Ultimate Rocking Rivals Unite" onwards.
• A Day in the Limelight: The stories also give the secondary heroes, support cast, and animal companions a chance to shine.
• Distaff Counterpart: Aside from the formally established examples (Dani Fenton/Phantom, Haley Long/the newly Christened Western American Dragon, Gal Hamdon/DudePow), there's also Danielle Fenton/Inviso-Belle (from DudePow's Alternate Universe) and Denise "Dee" Douglas/Freakazette.
• Ensemble Cast
• Gender Reveal: Due to being a superhero Disguised in Drag, SheZow is subject to this by the cast of the other shows, especially if they're fans of or had feelings for his super-identity.
• Intercontinuity Crossover: What the stories tend to shoot for by having various shows from different years coexist at the same time. However, there were a few liberties taken to achieve this.
• Kid Hero: The (mostly) human stars of the series.
• Let's You and Him Fight:
  • In Grant a Wish, Randy and June clashed with each other when the former mistook the invisible creatures of Orchid Bay for the stanked humans he usually fights. White Julian instigates this by stanking his tour guides/June's friends to trick the Ninja into thinking that June was the cause.
  • Crystal Noobs practically begins with this trope, where the Supernoobs attack the Crystal Gems under the impression that they're here to conquer earth.
• The Plan: There is at least one per story made by the antagonists.
  • Mega Ultra Super Heroes Unite: McFist and Viceroy created the Mega Ultra Super Hero Comic Con as a ploy to trap and defeat the ninja, but they had to expand their plans once the other four heroes showed up and the Heroes' Tome came in their possession.
  • Ultimate Rocking Rivals Unite:
  • Vacationing Hero Families Unite:
  • Super Eggheaded Geniuses Unite:
• Said Bookism: Suffers a bit from this.
• Sequel Hook: Vacationing Hero Families Unite and Super Eggheaded Genuises Unite have each ended with this.
• Ship Tease: Aside from established couples, be they canon or fanon, there are some teases towards Randy Cunningham/Kelly Hamdon, Danny Fenton/Valerie Gray, and Danny/Gal Hamdon.
• Team-Up Series
• Tomes of Prophecy and Fate/Great Big Book of Everything: The Heroes' Tome, which catalogs the abilities, sources of power, and weaknesses of every super hero in existence, and has protective enchantments that make it indestructible and can only be read by those who are worthy. "Vacationing Hero Families Unite" reveals that it was written by Cronus, the Titan of Time, in an effort to secure his rule.
  • The Villains' Tome is the super villain counterpart. However, its pages were scattered throughout the Earth during the Titanomachy before its completion and, unlike the Heroes' Tome, can be read by anyone.
• Translation Convention: Used for the Animal Talk scenes, often starting off with some Medium Awareness.
• The 'Verse: The MUSHU-Verse consists of numerous shows in a merged continuity that includes the author's separate Gravity Falls fanfic, Pacifica's Revenge.

Mega Ultra Super Heroes Unite contains examples of:

• Adaptive Ability: Viceroy's adaptoid computers, which, when connected to a specific device, can make adjustments accordingly to adapt to and counter the tactics of a single hero. One was implemented into the comic con's security system, and five separate units each controlled a head of Viceroy's hydra-bot.
• Boisterous Weakling: The Antihero. He only becomes a threat once the Sorcerer stanked him.
• Butt-Monkey: Sam Manson in a non-violent fashion, where her first impressions on something are constantly proved wrong, and then others rub her face in it.
• A Child Shall Lead Them: Guy Hamdon/Shezow is the youngest of the five main heroes and takes on the leadership position. Justified, as he's the highest ranking hero out of them.
• Double Standard: Sort of Inverted. According to Sam, if a girl wears pink, then it's demeaning and perpetuating an old stereotype, but if a boy wears pink, then he's stating his individuality. Everyone present doesn't buy it.
• Fan Convention: Mega Ultra Super Hero Comic Con.
• Fantastic Rank System: Taking a nod from the concept in SheZow, comics determine the popularity rank of heroes, going from urban myth to comic strip to guest appearances to title comic to graphic novel.
• Hijacked by Ganon: The Dark Dragon gets involved once the Sorcerer asks him to help destroy the Heroes' Tome once and for all. This of course leads to the Dark Dragon taking over the last third of the story with the heroes having to risk everything to stop him.
• New Old Flame: The previous SheZow (Agnes Munroe) was this to Lao Shi, even leading to him mentioning that she could've been Jake's grandmother. Of course, considering Agnes's status among the living, Lao Shi learns that there is no chance at rekindling the relationship.

She-Pooktacular contains examples of:

• Ascended Fangirl: Valerie is revealed be one for SheZow, having drawn inspiration and comfort from her comic collection and even jumps at the prospect of becoming her sidekick.
• Bat Family Crossover: This story takes place in Amity Park, and adds some of SheZow's cast into the mix.
• Gendered Outfit: Inviso-Belle's suit is salmon and grey compared to Danny's black and white.
• New Super Power: In "She-Pooktacular", SheZap gains ghost's powers by becoming half ghost like Danny in addition her own powers, even going as far as to rename herself SheSpook. They're taken away permanently at the end of the story.
• One-Steve Limit: In order to avoid confusion, Inviso-Belle is referred to by "Belle" rather than her actual name, which is already used by Dani.
• Slumber Party: Sam begrudgingly ends up hosting one at her house for the displaced heroines.
• Who Would Be Stupid Enough?: When everyone finds out that Danny's Alternate Universe Distaff Counterpart, Dani Fenton, goes by Inviso-Belle, they question her on the name. Dani answers that it was either that or "Dani Phantom", and only someone stupid would make their superhero alias a pun of their own name. Cue her looking at Danny's logo and realizing that's what he did.

Ultimate Rocking Rivals Unite contains examples of:

• Alien Robot Abduction: The world's human superheroes were all snatched up by Evil Emperor Zurg's legions of robots.
• Amazon Brigade: Once the world's superheroes were abducted, two groups set off to rescue them: A) Betty Barrett/Atomic Betty (with Sparky and X-5), Kim Possible, and Zoe Aves/Black Cuervo; B) Kelly Hamdon/SheZow (once Guy passed the Glamazon Power Ring to her just before he was taken), Rose/Huntsgirl, and Valerie Gray/Huntress.
  • In order to help the sidekicks complete their mission, Jenny Wakeman/XJ-9 lured the villainous hunters to Tremorton so she, Melody, and Becky Botsford/WordGirl could keep them busy.
• Badass in Distress: The plot kicks off with the human superheroes being abducted by alien robots.
• Battle of the Bands: The Ultimate Battle of the Bands.
• Dance Party Ending: Once the day is saved, our heroes hold a huge bash in the Galactic Guardians headquarters, with everyone singing the ThemeTunes of their respective shows (though in El Tigre's case, Frida plays the Ballad of Sartanna of the Dead, which is actually an anti-Tigre song, much to Manny and Zoe's chagrin).
• A Day in the Limelight: The sidekicks are given their own storyline: going on a cross-country Road Trip Plot to deliver the Key Cog to the Galactic Guardians headquarters for safekeeping.
• Earth Is a Battlefield: The alien robot invasion occurred on a global scale, causing the story to flash to scenes of attacks in Miracle City, Amity Park, Tremorton, Townsville, Bootsville, Copper Canyon, Fair City, and Norrisvile (the latter only for the sake of destroying Principal Slimovitz's car).
• Hypocrite: Downplayed with Howard, who has forgotten about meeting El Tigre yet gets annoyed when El Tigre has forgotten him.
• I Know Kung-Faux: Noah using the Way of The Wiener to hilariously incapacitate Shego.
• Large-Ham Announcer: Rocking Robin, of the Ultimate Battle of the Bands.
• MacGuffin: The Key Cog. As its name suggests, it's the key component to a solar-system destroying Doomsday Device. It was Hidden in Plain Sight as the grand prize trophy for the story's Ultimate Battle of the Bands. It was also sought after by the Dragon Council under the suspicion of it being a magical artifact, later proved to be not the case. Due to Mandark putting a bounty for it online, the world's supervillains were trying to steal it from the sidekicks.
• The Omniscient Council of Vagueness: The true leaders of O.W.C.A., the 13 Primes, consist of several known animal characters (some of them being non human sidekicks): including Rufus, Buck Rockgut, Brain, Chip n' Dale, Bullet Squirrel, Zebra Donkey, Snowy, Chim-Chim, Hamster 2, Masked Dog, Courage, and Scooby-Doo. However, they also function as a Not-So-Omniscient Council of Bickering when it comes to brainstorming names for their organization, which is the reason why it remains "The Organization Without a Cool Acronym."
• Passing the Torch: Parodied when Maz is hit by one of Shego's attacks and passes on his current sidekick persona of Star Rockie to Ron in an over the top manner... even though he was barely wounded. All the girls present find it dumb while all the guys present (Drakken included) are driven to tears by how beautiful and tragic it was.
• Prison Ship: Zurg had one hijacked from Star Command, and modified to abduct the heroes and discretely take them away to his Extranormal Prison.
• Single-Biome Planet: The ice planet Fridgiaria^note One among in the galaxy that Zurg used as an Extranormal Prison to house the abducted heroes.
  Kelly/SheZow: Stupid aliens, kidnapping my stupid brother, and bringing him to stupid ice planet! Why couldn't they build a maximum security prison on a tropical planet with sandy beaches! No one would want to escape from there!
  • City Planet: Eisely-mos is home to some of the largest space ports in the galaxy, and is a hotbed for criminal activity.
• Space Plane: The She-C-10 has this capability, though it requires Sheila to download herself into the plane's computer for travel out of the solar system.
• Token Evil Teammate: Black Cuervo is only involved in the hero rescue because El Tigre happened to be one of the ones captured. When it comes to getting info from a close-mouthed thug, she isn't shy from proving herself by blowing up an orphanage by her own volition and resorting to some off-screen interrogation tactics.
• Two Lines, No Waiting: The story contains three parts: 1) the five central heroes escaping from intergalactic captivity, 2) the heroines traveling through space to rescue them and the other captured heroes, and 3) the rest of the secondary cast (a.k.a., the sidekicks) scouring the country to seal away the story's MacGuffin.
• Unlimited Wardrobe: Apparently SheZow has access to this (all examples remain pink) via the "Wardrobe Shelector" connected to the "S" Chest Insignia, though only Kelly was told:
  Kelly/SheZow: Why didn't you tell Gu - my sister about this?
  Sheila: He never asked, besides I though she liked the old outfit.

  It has been 5 months since the alien robot invasion where 98% of the world's heroes were abducted for more than a week. And as we can all recall the results was devastating; crime up 287%, mass panic, riots, and worst of all THEY HAD TO CANCEL THE SUPERBOWL!
• Future Loser: Lampshaded and Subverted. A trio of buff teens that tried hitting on Kim and Steff talk about how hot girls like them only go for the nerds when they're 30 and have a stable income while guys like them are stuck with dead end jobs. After that, they all decide to go to the library.

• Noodle Incidents: Fu Dog's previous encounters with Monroe and Garnet count as these.
• You All Share My Story: As revealed by Munroe's As You Know brand of exposition, the creation of Te Xuan Ze was also the starting point of the creation of other groups to help protect the balance of the two worlds, including the Monster Tamers (who refer to the Te Xuan Ze as the Lord High Tamer), the Dragon Council, and the Norisu Nine Ninjas. The Crystal Gems were given the shaft in the magical world, as their main goal was to make up for the mess they've made in the Kindergarten.
  • Later in the story, it's been revealed that the origins of the imbalance that brought in the need for the Te Xuan Ze was caused by Glass Prism, the former head of the Kindergarten and infamous founder of the Crystal Gems.
