** It's noted that Dinah's mother has a strong aversion to capes after a close friend of hers was killed in the crossfire of a hero/villain fight while she was in college.
** Despite the fact that they hadn't shown any signs of being hostile, two of the guards at City Hall try to attack Taylor and Dinah simply because they're capes, even admitting as such when Taylor asks what law they've broken.

* MadScientist: Taylor compares her power to one, noting that it seems almost ''alive'', namely when it only gives her non-water based technology when she fulfills some kind of requirement, like encouraging her to build a {{BFG}} for the ''Nevermore'' before getting it moving again.

* SpannerInTheWorks: Coil is forced to discard the idea of attacking the Ruby Dream because a random electrical short caused the manager to ask Lung for permission to give the building a ''much''-needed overhaul, and Lung agreed, and the Travelers' planned debut has to be put off due to Noelle acting up.

* AbsenceOfEvidence: The lack of scavenging from local junkyards and the like for parts to Tinker with leads both the PRT and Coil to believe that Riptide has somehow gotten backing from another group or individual.
** [[spoiler:After rescuing Dinah, Taylor notes that there's oddly no mention of her when the kidnapping hits the news.]]

* BiggerOnTheInside: Taylor can create "Magic Bottles" that hold far more liquid than their physical dimensions would suggest, like a bullet-sized object containing a full barrel's worth.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Kaiser is a nasty customer, but even ''he'' knows that Triggers are serious things and would never make light of them, and thinks that the fact that the PRT agent who investigated Rachel/Bitch's trigger is currently dying of cancer is fitting karma for him messing it up so badly.
** Coil ''hates'' nepotism or favoritism of any kind, believing that positions should only be filled by those capable of performing their duties competently.

Him making sure that the incompetent PRT trooper who screwed up and let the Undersiders escape while blaming the Wards despite ''them'' doing everything by the book is punished is only partially out of a desire to get payback for his plans being screwed up.



* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Coil plans to have the Undersiders captured by the Wards at the bank as a distraction for capturing Dinah. Lisa also suspects that if he ''does'' need them again, he can just break them out, and thus drive them further into his influence in the process.

Added DiffLines:

* IgnoredExpert: Coil, thinking that it was just Lisa being delaying and uncooperative as usual, disregarded her warnings about Riptide's patrol patterns, which is why Taylor was able to interfere with his grabbing Dinah at all.

* AdultFear: Deliberately invoked by the PRT's [[LiesDamnedLiesAndStatistics (mis)]]representation of the Independent survival rate, hoping to use this to scare parents into signing their kids up for the Wards.



* LiesDamnedLiesAndStatistics: The PRT deliberately does this to the survival rate of Independents, including things like moving to another city and the like, and not accounting for the fact that Independents that ''do'' last for a year or so tend to last for quite a while after that, in order to [[AdultFear scare the parents of parahuman teens]] into being more likely to consider the Wards.
