* EnsembleDarkHorse: WrenchWench Bridget Clancy, ActionMom cop Amy Rohrbach, and GoodGuyBar owner Hank Hogan tend to be the most nostalgically remembered supporting characters from the Creator/ChuckDixon run.

* HesJustHiding: A lot of fans like to hope that several of the minor and supporting characters who get blown up [[spoiler:in the apartment building bombing in #89 of the 1996 series survived offscreen, especially Johnny Law, whose Wikipedia page even notes how his body was never shown.]]

* {{Moe}}: Kessia Toussant, the little girl who writes to Santa in the ChristmasEpisode while calling herself by her favorite doll's name and asking him to find a way to keep her dad from committing crimes before the two become residents of the apartment Dick lives in, is a real heart-melter for many fans.

* OneSceneWonder: Detective Karen Patitz only appears for four pages of a single issue during the infamous Blockbuster/Tarantula arc, but her cute and humorous ShrinkingViolet nervousness around Rohrbach and formidable detective skills made an impression on some fans.

* MyRealDaddy: Creator/BobKane is credited with creating Dick Grayson, with some credit also going to Creator/BillFinger... but Nightwing was created by Creator/MarvWolfman, who had exclusive rights to the character throughout his entire run on ''New Comicbook/TeenTitans''. Creator/ChuckDixon is then credited with developing Dick's solo career in the 1996 ''Nightwing'' title.

Added DiffLines:

* MainstreamObscurity: Dick Grayson himself is an extremely famous and popular character, best known for [[FirstInstallmentWins being the original Robin]] and although Robin is what Dick is best known for, his Nightwing persona still plenty popular enough and is a major TropeCodifier for SideKickGraduationsStick. Beyond that, most of the general public, despite having familiarity with Dick as Robin, don't really have too much knowledge of Dick's solo adventures as Nightwing and likely couldn't name a single one of his supporting characters aside from Barbara or any given Robin showing up in his stories. And Nightwing's homegrown RoguesGallery simply hasn't been able to get to that same level of recognition as Batman's Arkham rogues either, with guys like Blockbuster, Brutale, Shrike, Raptor, or Lady Vic being largely unfamiliar to a mainstream public. It also doesn't help that in the rare cases a major Nightwing villain has some sort of media appearance, they're typically portrayed as [[RoguesGalleryTransplant fighting other heroes instead of Nightwing]].
