-->'''The Dark''': "Actually... I really kinda am."

* BadassBoast: [[CastingAShadow The Dark]]'s response to [[MarionetteMaster the Dollmaker]]'s statement that she isn't powerful enough to defeat all of his dolls.
-->--'''The Dark''': "Actually... I really kinda am."

** Illumina is the only one able to stand up to [[spoiler: her brother Declan]], as he's a GravityMaster, and Illumina's floating power means that she's literally the only one able to stand.

** [[spoiler: Illumina appears to have an even stronger version of her brothers gravity powers. Once Delcan pisses her off enough to break through her PowerLimiter, she wipes the floor with him in one blow.]]

* SuperZeroes: Brains aren't required to look good in spandex. In fact, Haze's hero, Impact, is the only one we've heard about who's even competent.

** Granted from we know of her, it might has been less because of her brains and more because of her ethics. (She up and ditched Illumina in a fight, joined the Villian Agency as a cat burgar, and the only she made to her costume (which seems like a requirement from the villians) was adding a corset).

* PersonOfMassDestruction: The Dark, and presumably the Vigilante, since they seem to have the same powerset. [[spoiler: Declan, too]].

* GravityMaster: Ilumina has slight anti-gravity powers, allowing her to float. [[spoiler: Her brother Declan has much more powerful abilities, and is able to increase gravity.]]

* IHatePastMe/FutureMeScaresMe: Val and her [[spoiler: alternate]] future counterpart don't really like each other, as the result of Future Val having [[TookALevelInJerkAss taken a level in jerkass]]

* Illumina is the only one able to stand up to [[spoiler: her brother Declan]], as he's a GravityMaster, and Illumina's floating power means that she's literally the only one able to stand.

* HypercompetentSidekick: Val

* TheUnfavourite: Mack/Illumina is the unfavourite compared to her dead brother Declan, Who had the actually useful powers out of the two. Her parents are two highly successful and prominent heroes who wanted a grand legacy of super heroics, when Declan died so did their dream since now all they had was Mack who cant float higher than she can stand. Whenever they are in town all they seem to do is tell her to do better and mope that Declan isn't alive. Making her feel like they would have preferred she had died instead of him.

* WellDoneSonGuy: Illumina wants to make her parents proud of her, and feels like they are disappointed that she can't replace their dead son as their legacy since he had 'real' powers while all she can do is glow and float slightly.

* INeedToGoIronMyDog: Isauro's response to discovering Val is about to be trapped by his villain is: [[= IGottaGoToTheBathroomTakeMyLunchBreakPickUpMyMotherUpAtTheAirportTheUnionRulesAreABitchSeeYouLaterBye!=]]

* INeedToGoIronMyDog: Isauro's response to discovering Val is about to be trapped by his villain is: [[INeedToGoIronMyDog IGottaGoToTheBathroomTakeMyLunchBreakPickUpMyMotherUpAtTheAirportTheUnionRulesAreABitchSeeYouLaterBye!]]

* TakingTheBullet: The fate of Illumina's late sidekick Marina.

* WhoWantsToLiveForever: The Dark. Watching generations of friends and family die is pretty hard on her emotional stability.

!!SidekickGirl contains examples of the following tropes

** Possibly intended to be a bit of TruthInTelevision, since in reality all the talent and offers of training in the world don't actually give you any skills if you don't actually COMPLETE that training.

* AlternateUniverse: In another universe Val and Mack are both [[spoiler: legendary hero's (as in, Val is not Mack's sidekick) with religions based around them, and are far more powerful than their respective counterparts]]. Alternate Val is also far ruder and more blunt than normal Val, and does not hesitate to state how much more inferior she is to her.

* AlternateUniverse: In another universe Val and Mac are both [[spoiler: legendary hero's (as in, Val is not Mac's sidekick) with religions based around them, and are far more powerful than their respective counterparts]]. Alternate Val is also far ruder and more blunt than normal Val, and does not hesitate to state how much more inferior she is to her.

* JerkAss: [[Spoiler: Alternate reality Val. She's deadpan, sarcastic, rude and outright tells Val she's not important in any way.]]

* LaserGuidedKarma: What happens to Dr. Wright (A MadScientist obsessed with purging left-handedness from the world). The surgeons have to amputate his right arm. This causes him to snap and he is now in an insane asylum.
