* PoorCommunicationKills: Stagg attempts this by showing Rex showing pictures of Sapphire kissing Green Lantern out of context to get him off his trail. After already picking a fight with the Justice League, he then confronts Sapphire about it, only to reassure her love, which helps him realize the truth. He just rushes off to find Stagg without telling Sapphire, but he does explain to Green Lantern once he finds him, warning how they need to stop the synthoid.

* {{Homage}}: The entire final sequence with the synthoid is an homage to Film/KingKong, as the creature stomps through the city, snatches a pretty blonde and [[KingKongclimb climbs up a building]] that looks suspiciously like the Empire State Building. Lampshaded by Mason, who remarks, "What I wouldn't give for a couple of biplanes right about now."

* LetsYouAndHimFight: Stagg tricks Mason into believing that John and Sapphire were having an affair to get him to attack John (and eventually fight the rest of the league) in order to get video footage of what the Metamorpho mutagen was capable of.

* HeKnowsTooMuch: Apart from trying to stop him for taking Sapphire, Stagg used Rex as the guinea pig for his mutagen because he was nosing about the project.

Armor Piercing Slap is no longer a trope


* ArmorPiercingSlap: When Metamorpho get slapped by Sapphire, somehow it hurts him enough to cause him to grunt. Earlier, he was shown to be capable of withstanding bullets, missiles, and even blows from several members of the Justice League, including Superman himself. Possibly justified as ''emotional'' hurt, given his love for Sapphire.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Foreshadowing}}: When Mason presses Stagg about the company's involvement with the earlier train accident, Stagg warns him to leave it alone, insinuating "I made you, and I can ''un''make you just as easily..." In a sinister way, this lets the audience know Stagg won't be above "unmaking" Mason into Metamorpho, a threat which he makes good on when he learns he's going out with Sapphire.


Added DiffLines:

* MirrorReveal: After falling prey to the accident Stagg staged for him, Mason wakes up in the hospital. From his viewpoint, Sapphire rushes into his room, only to faint at the sight of him. He doesn't realize the drastic extent the accident changed his appearance until he walks over to the mirror in his room...

Is this a coy way to write an example or overused?


** A man survives a train accident that becomes his superhero origin. Is this referring to Mason or the other Green Lantern Alan Scott?

** Green Lantern wonders what it would've been like to be a rich executive with lots of perks, while Rex would've loved to be a superhero. They're unaware that a certain pointy-eared member of the League happens to be both.

* ShoutOut: When the train starts to derail, Mason quotes (or rather [[BeamMeUpScotty misquotes]]) Bette Davis' famous line from ''Film/AllAboutEve'': "Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy ride!"
