!!Tropes:
* AllOfThem: When Polaris, Reed, and the rest of the Mutant Underground escape, Jace demands that he wants all of them captured. Not just the ones that escaped today, but every single asset the Underground has ever used or relied on.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Pulse was once an ally of the Mutant Underground and Thunderbird's friend. Now Sentinel Services uses him as a mutant jammer and he doesn't even speak, let alone seem to recognize Thunderbird.
* ChekhovsGun: In the pilot, Polaris used the metal screws in Reed's knee to demonstrate that she could kill him if she wanted. Deprived of metal inside the bus, Reed offers the screws so they can escape.
* ChildSoldiers: Caitlin protests her children aiding in the breakout on these grounds, and only relents when Thunderbird promises they won't be part of the fighting, just used to disable the bus.
* DamselOutOfDistress: Once Pulse is knocked out, Polaris is able to escape the bus using her powers.
* DareToBeBadass: When Andy is having trouble focusing his powers on the bus, Lauren gets him angry by saying the bullies were right about him unless he proves otherwise right now. It works.
* PowerNullifier: Pulse has the ability to knock out both electronics and mutant abilities within a two-block radius of himself.
* WonderTwinPowers: Lauren is able to use her barriers like a nozzle to focus Andy's destructive waves at specific targets.
