- Adaptational Name Change: Every member of the Princess Alliance so far either has a different name, with their canon name being used as a super hero identity, or newly included last names for the ones who’ve kept their canon first names:
- Adora’s given the surname Matthews. Furthermore, instead of She-Ra she goes by Power Princess.
- Bow’s full name is Bowen Aero Sherwood.
- Glimmer’s name is Angela Moon Jr.
- Perfuma is Bloom Willows.
- Mermista is Meranda Pisces.
- Entrapta is Emily Dryl.
- Catra is Catra Kyle.
- Frosta is Winter Snow. She becomes Winter Moon after being adopted by Angela.
- In a side-character example, Micah becomes Michael Moon.
- Adaptational Species Change:
- Adora was a First One in canon. Here she's half-Amazon.
- Angella is a New God instead of a miscellaneous Winged Humanoid race.
- Atrocious Alias: Practically a running gag at this point.
- EVERYONE mocks Adora's super-hero name of Power Princess.
- Glimmer questions Frosta's codename. Frosta admits she didn't have much time to think of a better name.
- The entire team instantly shuts down Bow's suggestion of naming the team the Super Best Friend's Squad.
- Composite Character: Angella is combined with Light Hope in this story, having used the latter alias as a code-name at one point.
- Fusion Fic: The various She-Ra characters are now all inhabitants of the DC Universe.
- Happily Adopted:
- After her biological mother, Mara, is killed, Adora is adopted by the Gotham City police officer who tried to stop the murder.
- After Frosta runs away from Killer Frost, she's found and adopted by Angella, who is a much better mother figure.
- Catra is Selina Kyle's adopted daughter, and far better adjusted than in canon because of it.
- Legacy Character: Both Mermista and Perfuma are titles passed down from mother to daughter in this universe.
- Oh, Crap!: Glimmer amusingly gets a number of these throughout the story, owing to her being both the most experienced of the new Generation and half New God:
- In her origin story when she realizes Doctor Light isn't messing around.
- Again when she sees Intergang using Apokalips technology.
- Yet again when the team is attacked by Parademons In Intergang HQ.
- When she realizes Hordak is Darkseid's son.
- When she learns the weapons deal she, Bow and Perfuma interrupted in the Our First Mission arc is AMAZO.
- Related in the Adaptation:
- In canon, Mara and Adora were unrelated, living a thousand years apart. Here, the two of them are mother and daughter. Mara is also Diana's half-sister, making Adora Wonder Woman's niece.
- Frosta is the daughter of Killer Frost in this universe, and she later becomes the adopted sister of Glimmer.
- Hordak is Darkseid’s son.
- Take That!: Through the author’s notes and several choices for continuity, the writer has made their dislike of the New 52 reboot very clear.
