* BiTheWay: Oberyn Martell, per canon, who has no problem in openly kissing Robb in the mouth [[spoiler:in front of Robb's future wife]] and would probably drag Theon to a threesome with Ellaria if Theon did not threaten him with bodily harm every time he tries to get "close".
** Arianne, too, as she seems to have no problem with sleeping with both Theon and Amarda at the same time - all in the good name of teaching them how to have sex.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Qyburn and Ramsay Bolton nee Snow.
** Qyburn under Theon's authority is bound to an ethics committee that prevents him from committing inhumane experiments but is given a healthy budget for medical research. Qyburn's involvement was vital for Bran's recovery and rehabilitation.
**Due Ramsay becoming hopelessly fascinated with Theon's weaponry, he emulates Theon's inventiveness to be a better killer. He also finds socially acceptable targets for his experimental weapons in ferocious bandits. His blood thirsty nature being utilized in the North's war efforts whether it be threatening Joffery or terrorizing enemy soldiers.

* {{Foil}}: Littlefinger muses about his similarities with Theon, pointing both of them started as virtual nobodies who rapidly became utterly indispensable to men in positions of true power, becoming themselves a genuine power in Westeros. However, Baelish will stop at nothing less than absolute power and his every wish fulfilled, while Theon is perfectly happy to play the second fiddle and supporting follower. Bonus points for their relationship with the Starks: Baelish despises them as Northern barbarians having stole Cat from him, and Theon embraces them as his FamilyOfChoice.

* VillainRespect: ''Everyone'' agrees about Theon's sheer brilliance. Even Littlefinger cannot help but admire how far the Boomsquid went, from a disposable hostage to one of the most influent men in Westeros.
