- Anvilicious: Yes. Anvilicious is almost an understatement. More or less the whole point of the comics was to illustrate why, in the views of its creator, Black-and-White Morality is true.
- Designated Hero: While Mr. A is meant to be a completely good hero — in fact, by Ditko's Objectivist standards, he's meant to be far more moral than Thou Shalt Not Kill heroes like Superman or Batman — most readers would probably find his methods and extremely harsh stance on crime to fall squarely into Unscrupulous Hero, and/or Black-and-White Insanity territory.
- Parody Displacement: More like Expy displacement, but it's virtually impossible for a modern comic-book reader to look at the comic and not think of Rorschach. When Alan Moore asked Steve Ditko if he had seen Watchmen, Ditko described him as "like Mister A, except Rorschach is insane."
