* ConspiracyNut: He believes that mythological figures that have superpowers are based on real-life people that existed in history.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Calls Syd's powers cool and pushes her about it, oblivious that [[BlessedWithSuck she's not a fan of it]] and would rather avoid talking about it.
* WrongGenreSavvy: As a comic book geek, he's convinced that Syd is going to be a real-life superhero and that he's TheMentor. Given that the story is about Syd dealing with her teen angst issues and that [[ComicBook/XMen Charles Xavier]] probably doesn't exist, Stan is probably wrong.

[[folder:Sydney "Syd" Novak]]
->'''Played by:''' Sophia Lillis
----
* AccidentalMurder:
** Through one of her episodes, she accidentally kills Liam's pet hedgehog, Banana.
** [[spoiler:At the end of Season 1, she accidentally causes Brad's head to explode from stress over him humiliating her at prom.]]
* BlessedWithSuck: She has telekinetic powers, but due to the issues that come with being a teenager - whose favorite parent killed themselves, having to step up in the household, high school drama, budding sexuality, and so on - it leaves her prone to anxiety attacks and other problems, which end up being the source of her powers going out of control and causing unintentional dangerous and/or large-scale destruction. Stan thinks it's totally cool and tries to talk to her about it, but she would rather not.
* BloodSplatteredWeddingDress: [[spoiler:Brad's blood spills all over her after she accidentally blows his head up.]]
* ProperlyParanoid: [[spoiler:Throughout Season 1, she believes that someone is following her, but it's not clear if this is just paranoia or if someone really is after her. The final scene of the season reveals that she's right.]]
* PsychoactivePowers: She has telekinetic powers that are caused when her emotions spike, like becoming anxious or upset.
