* OlderThanTheyLook:
** Deconstructed with Sally Sonic. Despite being in her 20s when her parents died, her eternal youth meant the DepartmentOfChildDisservices forcibly put her into an orphanage as they refused to believe she was an adult.
** "Eternal Superteens" is a business that creates porn of superpowered women who have eternal youth. All of the heroines featured still look like teenagers despite many of them implied to be decades or centuries old.



* OrphanageOfFear: Madame Eva Martinette's Bleakdale Home for Bereaved Children was run by an abusive woman. Sara, who was physically a child but mentally a grown woman, was forcibly sent there by mistake and used her powers to run away.

** WordOfGod is that each of the seven individual series was intended as this. As part of their pitch, Morrison specifically used characters with long publication histories or legacies, but little to no time in the spotlight. The intention was to leave the characters with a conceptual hook or setup that could be used to launch ongoing titles. In the end only Frankenstein got a (short-lived) run.

Added DiffLines:

** Bulleteer mentions how some people grow so obsessed with developing superpowers they make stupid decisions, such as interacting with "venomous insects and dangerous animals in the expectation of receiving some totem power". This is a reference to the Ezekiel Sims arc from ''ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManJMichaelStraczynski'', where the protagonist wonders if the radioactive spider that bit him and granted him his powers may in fact have been the avatar of a supernatural totemic entity.
