* ExpendableAlternateUniverse: Naomi was born in an alternate universe where a MassSuperEmpoweringEvent affected at least 29 individuals -- most importantly Zumbado, a mass murderer who was about to be executed when he gained his superpowers. He proceeded to conquer his Earth, and by the time Naomi visited her homeworld for the first time in seventeen years, it's in a post-apocalyptic state, and Zumbado is interested in invading the main DC Universe. That said, Naomi expresses a desire to rebuild her homeworld. Indeed, Creator/BrianMichaelBendis [[http://www.cbr.com/naomi-dc-comics-interview-bendis-walker-campbell/ claimed that one of his goals is to establish an intriguing new world for future writers to write stories about]], citing Creator/JackKirby's ''[[ComicBook/NewGods Fourth World]]'' as an example.

* AdoptionAngst: Naomi starts obsessing over a conspiracy regarding her town when Franchise/{{Superman}} shows up one day and no media outlets reported on it. Naomi's psychiatrist rationalizes that this obsession is driven by the fact that she's adopted like Superman, yet [[IJustWantToBeSpecial there's seemingly nothing special about her]] whereas Superman came from another planet and is a hero beloved around the globe.

* EverytownAmerica: It's noted that the city the story takes place in is... really not that interesting.
* GivenNameReveal: It's not until the final issue that the readers learn that Naomi's last name is [[spoiler:[=McDuffie=].]]

* EverytownAmerica: It's noted Naomi's hometown Port Oswego is located in Oregon and is a sleepy little town. NothingExcitingEverHappensHere is what pretty much everyone says about the place. Including the people who live there.

* GivenNameReveal: It's When the first issue of ''ComicBook/{{Naomi|DCComics}}'' was solicited, it merely refers to the titular heroine as "Naomi (last name?)". Indeed, her surname is not brought up at all until ending of the final sixth and last issue that the readers learn that Naomi's last name is [[spoiler:[=McDuffie=].]]of her series, when her adopted mother tells her, "[[SoProudOfYou I'm insanely proud of you]], Naomi [[spoiler:[=McDuffie=]]]."

* SpinOff: Pointedly averted with the Creator/DCComics character Naomi. As creator Creator/BrianMichaelBendis noted in [[http://www.cbr.com/naomi-dc-comics-interview-bendis-walker-campbell/ this interview]], he considers her story too special to have her introduced in a book that isn't hers and spun off from there, necessitating her own self-contained limited series exploring her character and how she became a superhero before she makes her debut within the greater DC Universe in ''ComicBook/ActionComics'' #1015.

''Naomi'' is a 2019 6-issue comic book miniseries written by Creator/BrianMichaelBendis & David Walker and drawn by Jamal Campbell. The book was established as the flagship title of Bendis' own Creator/WonderComics sub-imprint within ComicBook/DCUniverse.

NothingExcitingEverHappensHere. That's what pretty much everyone says about the place where Naomi lives. Including the people who live there.

So one day, when Franchise/{{Superman}} crashes through the center of the town fighting Mongul for roughly seventeen seconds, it gets everyone talking for some time. Especially when he returns the next day to help clean up.

Beyond her own series, Naomi would find herself being a member of [[ComicBook/YoungJustice2019 the revived Young Justice]]. Furthermore, even with her next series (and Wonder Comics in general) in a lull, Naomi would get a promotion and be a member of the Justice League when Bendis took over the ''Justice League'' comic, effective March 2021.

* BigBad: [[spoiler:Zumbado.]]
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: The fight between Superman and Mongul that changed Naomi's life? It was just a random fight as Superman dealt with the strange actions Leviathan was pulling in the ''Superman: Leviathan Rising'' special.
* CardboardPrison: Lampshaded in Issue #2 between Naomi and her girlfriend.
-->'''Naomi:''' [Iron Heights]'s a super villain prison where they put the super villains. It's one of those places weirdos are '''constantly''' escaping from.

* GivenNameReveal: It's not until the final issue that the readers learn that Naomi's last name is [[spoiler:[=McDuffie=].]]
