* AmbiguouslyHuman: [[spoiler:Lois and Lucy appear to be completely human with no extraordinary powers, and neither of them have ever received any V shots. However, Lois is able to have a viable pregnancy with Clark even though [[HalfHumanHybrid they're not even the same species]]. This compounds when it's revealed that her father is also Deathstroke who went through a V-related SuperSoldier experiment. When Lois starts going into labor, she starts to demonstrate mild SuperStrength–literally ripping apart the furniture around her in pain and slightly crushing Annie's hand despite the Supe's SuperToughness.]]

* WorldsStrongestMan: Homelander is considered the strongest superhero in the world, though many believe that Clark will eventually surpass him as he grows older. After the TimeSkip to Clark's adulthood, people are still uncertain which of the two is stronger; Clark's physical abilities match and/or exceed Homelander's, but Homelander still has decades of experience with him.

Added DiffLines:

* YoungAndInCharge: Widely viewed as a leader by people like Annie and Hughie and informally leads the anti-corruption faction that includes members of The Boys, The Seven, and the Superdupers, all while younger than thirty. Some of the people he regularly butts heads with are at least a decade older than him.
* YoungerThanHeLooks: He's at least 25-28, but being so muscular, he could easily pass for a man in his mid to late 30s.

!! Diana Prince

* HighPoweredCareerWoman: When she's first introduced, Mary seemingly achieved the highest highs of this trope: she was already an accomplished businesswoman, married to [[HenpeckedHusband a stay-at-home dad who looked after their three children]]. After becoming Clark's manager, her career sky-rocketed and she was recognized as a full-fledged IronLady even by Stan Edgar. Deconstructed later on when it's mentioned that she's divorced from her husband and her kids have stopped talking to her.
* INeedAFreakingDrink: She keeps a small flask on her for particularly troubling days.



* MomentOfWeakness: In retrospect, [[spoiler:her blowing up on Clark could be seen as this–venting all of her bottled-up trauma from dealing with the destruction Vought's Supes cause. Unfortunately, their relationship was never the same from then on.]]



* TookALevelInKindness: By the time Butcher's campaign against the Supes has picked up, she has lost much of her selfish ambition; coming to regret losing touch with her children and chooses to go to the Kent farm for Thanksgiving as at least then she'll be with people she likes rather than spending the holiday alone. [[spoiler:At Jonathan's funeral, she calls the publicity department ghouls and furiously fires them for trying to get footage of a private event when everyone present just wants to be allowed to mourn in peace. When Stan Edgar later questions her attachment to Clark, she surprises herself over how fond she's become of her nephew as she sees him as more of her child than her actual children]].

* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: [[spoiler:When he Frenchie, Kimiko, and Clark find Kara Zor-Ell's pod, which officially marks the story's transition from a relatively grounded CapeBusters CorporateConspiracy to a SciFi AncientConspiracy premise, he immediately wants out.
