No. The three bottom ones who went with Podrick don\'t actually have tropes that each would need to bve separate. They are all FanserviceExtra, they\'re barely {{Canon Foreigner}}s since they\'re barely characters, and KeepTheReward is not a character trope. It\'s a narrative trope that should go to that episode\'s recap page.

Justice League Unlimited Season 2 Episode 22: Question Authority
Right before the Question runs out of his apartment after 3 days of Conspiracy Theory research he lays out a theory for a \\\"time loop\\\". Paraphrased it is:
\\\"In all possible Universes, in any Universe where Superman or Lex Luthor kills the other, Armageddon will surely follow.\\\"
If one then looks at the wider DC Multiverse in the comics, tv, movies, etc. one can see this pattern hold up in most \\\"alternate realities\\\", \\\"possible futures\\\", and \\\"reboots\\\". \\\"DC Universe on-line\\\" is an especially good example because in the prologue cut-scenes, literally seconds after Luthor kills Superman, Braniac invades Earth and ultimately Luthor is forced to time travel to to a time before he killed Superman to prevent it. Events like this are all over the DC Multiverse.
Admittedly this is more FridgeHorror than ShootTheShaggyDog but the \\\'\\\'implications\\\'\\\' of this \\\"time-loop\\\" mean that no matter what Superman or Lex Luthor do there are only two outcomes: Eternal Stalemate or Armageddon. Thus their mutual thwarting of each-other is absolutely meaningless. They may as well be taking dancing lessons together. Neither one can \\\'\\\'ever\\\'\\\' defeat the other \\\"once and for all\\\" without bringing on the end of all things.
Effectively, the Question - possibly others as well - become aware of tropes like ArchEnemy, CardboardPrison, and FailureIsTheOnlyOption as a form of [[YouCannotChangeTheFuture Predestination]].
Although now that I think about it, this is all possibly subverted in the final episode due to the manner in which [[AGodAmI Luthor defeats Darkseid]].
...Then again, it is the \\\'\\\'last\\\'\\\' episode of the series.
