8	!!This webcomic exhibits the following tropes:
9	* BadassNormal / NonPoweredCostumedHero: In a world with superpowered heroes and criminals, Desert Fox manages to keep up by virtue of military tactics, equipment, and a lot of planning and conditioning.
10	%% * BattleCouple: [[http://www.oursupermom.com/comic/our-super-mom-interlude-6-the-mission-12/ Night and Lady Liberty]].
11	* BroughtDownToNormal: When Liza's children start gaining powers, she begins losing hers, including acquiring a nasty cold, which results in her having to track down former Paragon hosts to determine what's happening to her power. [[spoiler:It's revealed that her power loss is partly psychological, as she wants an excuse to retire and be a mother full time]].
12	* {{Expy}}:
13	** Paragon to ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} - Idealistic female Flying Brick
14	** Night to ComicBook/{{Batman}} - Billionaire BadassNormal
15	** The Blurr to ComicBook/XMen's Quicksilver - Can't slow down Speedster
16	** Desert Fox to The Huntress albeit with a ThouShaltNotKill policy
17	** Renegade to Jason Todd - Rebellious teen who advocates more lethal solutions
18	** Luis is one to Creator/GeorgeRRMartin as the creator of a massively popular 5-book fantasy series that is in its second season as a TV Show and suffers from much Executive Meddling.
19	* FamilyVersusCareer: Liza is one of the most powerful superheroes in the world. Her husband, Luis, is a very successful fantasy author. Both of them struggle to balance parenting with their jobs, and how to allocate the work between them.
20	* FlyingBrick: Liza is a classic case. Flight, invulnerability, and super-strength. Unlike most examples, that's all that she has. She doesn't have SuperSenses, XRayVision, or HeatVision.
21	%% * GrapplingHookPistol: Part of Desert Fox's arsenal.
22	%% * HeroDoesPublicService: Desert Fox likes to help out with Habitat for Humanity. She saw enough destruction during the war.
23	* LegacyCharacter: Liza believes herself to be the fourth Paragon. [[spoiler:It's actually been passed down for hundreds of years until Paragon I became a public figure]]. Her son, Markie, seems to be inheriting her powers.
24	* MutantDraftBoard / SuperRegistrationAct: Played with. Technically, the law only requires people to register as military or police agents as vigilantism is illegal. However, Liza learns to her chagrin that the government is actively collecting children who gain powers under the cover of protecting the populace.
25	* ShootingSuperman: The criminals still shoot at Paragon, although it's somewhat justified in that she still feels pain for being shot, so it can be a distraction.
26	* SuperheroesStaySingle: While Liza is happily married to Leon in real life, the Paragon comic book has her break up with him because the editors feel it's more exciting.
27	* UpUpAndAway: Paragon adopts the one fist version.
