* CommonRanks - deliberately subverted. When the League was first formed, the main characters picked their favourite-sounding ranks off a chart and built their own organisation's progression around that. That's why a Commander outranks a Colonel.

The League and Delta Squadron in particular swing wildly between PrivateMilitaryContractors and out-and-out HiredGuns. Generally, however, they make enough money from "honourable" jobs to be able to [[ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules turn down the more unpleasant ones]]. WeHelpTheHelpless was their original goal, adjusted slightly as RealityEnsues.

The stories are set TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture to accomodate some plot points - the lovely new ''USS Independence'' has been launched and so on.
As far as the Deltas are concerned, the rest of the League functions as a kind of HeroSecretService, providing support and equipment.
[[Characters/HiddenHeroes Character Sheet]] available.
----
!!''TroperWorks/HiddenHeroes'' contains examples of:
* AmericaSavesTheDay - Rarely. Only Colonel Wells is actually American, and the US armed forces often pick up traits of ObstructiveBureaucrat.
* AuthorAppeal - Fabrique National weaponry being held by beautiful women. Also intelligent attack helicopters.
* BigDamnHeroes - Delta Squadron's preferred entry method.
* BlackHelicopter - Sierra probably counts, but she has been known to change her paint job for special occasions.
* ColdSniper - Kaitya, who also shows signs of {{Lzherusskie}}.
* CommonRanks - deliberately subverted. When the League was first formed, the main characters picked their favourite-sounding ranks off a chart and built their own organisation's progression around that. That's why a Commander outranks a Colonel.
* CoolBoat - A fleet thereof. Starting with the ''Undying'' (which used to be the ''Admiralte Cochrane'') and continuing with a bunch of stolen/bought/donated fast-attack patrol boats.
* CoolCar - The Sable Bullets are [[http://www.snuffledopple.com/images/2535k.jpg black Lotus Elises]], but the League has access to a whole collection of other vehicles.
* CoolGuns - The standard Delta Squadron weapon is a Fabrique National P90. There's a move to switch to F2000s.
* DynamicEntry - The best kind of entry.
** FastRoping makes a frequent appearance as the Deltas deploy from Sierra.
* GovernmentAgencyOfFiction - Different nations' intelligence organisations provide the League with their missions and hand over large amounts of money for completion.
* InsistentTerminology - It's Delta Squad''ron''. Missing off that last syllable is not a wise decision.
* IslandBase - The good guys reside on a massive floating barge in the North Atlantic. [[ICallItVera They call it]] The Island.
* MildlyMilitary - Most of the League and all of the Deltas have had at least some regular military training. For some members, the more relaxed atmosphere of the League was the reason for the change.
* NoOneGetsLeftBehind - despite this driving several characters up the wall, they'll still go back for the idiot that got himself shot.
* RemovingTheEarpiece - Cass drops her radio when she decides to head through the BigBad's lines.
* StuffBlowingUp - "The only formula you need for demolitions is P = Plenty."
* WhyDontYaJustShootHim - Averted when Cass finally breaks through the lines to reach the BigBad. [[spoiler:The BigBad goes for his gun and she plugs him in the head.]]
