* FatalFlaw: Not taking Plastic Man seriously enough and dismissing his potential threat (Plas' "threat level" is 4.6 out of 100) leads to Brainiac's defeat. Once he knows what Plas is truly capable of (unpredictability combined with shape-changing abilities) Brainiac vows next time, he'll deal with Plas first.

Added DiffLines:

* HumblePie:
** Superman isn't sure Plastic Man should be in the Justice League, but when Plas makes a HeroicSacrifice, Superman admits to Batman that Plastic Man DID deserve to be in the League after all.
** Brainiac admits he'd underestimated Plastic Man's threat level, which led to Brainiac losing his robots, his ship, and the bottled cities on the ship thanks to Plastic Man's malleability and unpredictability. In defeat, Brainiac tells Plastic Man, "[[WeWillMeetAgain Next time,]] I'll take care of ''you first.''"
* IndyPloy: Plastic Man has to constantly adapt to deal with the situation, often on the fly.

* {{Hammerspace}}: Plas used his head like a hot air balloon to float safely to the ground. He then belched up dozens upon dozens of bottled cities he had stuffed inside his body. They weren't all in his head and his body was as spindly as ever.
* ItHasBeenAnHonor: Plastic Man says this to all Leaguers over the com channel before he attempts to stop the shrink ray.
* HeroicSacrifice: The miniaturization ray is about to shrink Metropolis, and no one can stop it. Plastic Man literally gums up the works to make it and the ship explode. [[spoiler: Subverted as Plas survives and managed to rescue every bottled city on the ship to boot.]]
