- Meaningful Name: He's named for Archangel Gabriel.
- More than Mind Control: Gabriel's mastery of sonic resonance allows him to speak in such a way as to convince nearly anyone that whatever he's saying is true and right. He could sell sand in a desert. Subverted, however, because his personality is still far more earnest than the usual charmer. While he's diplomatic, he's not manipulative.
- Spell My Name with a "The": The Gaian Knight.
- Clark Kenting: Chris acts and sounds the same whether he's in costume as Geckoman or not. His Secret Identity is a Paper-Thin Disguise at best.
- Inner Monologue: Geckoman frequently narrates internally, holding conversations and even having arguments with his own monologue.
- Must Have Caffeine: Geckoman's Healing Factor makes him resistant to drugs like caffeine. Thus, he drinks the strongest coffee he can find, in bucket-sized containers.
- Obfuscating Stupidity: Geckoman is not (quite) as absent-minded as he acts.
- Something Person: Geckoman = gecko + man.
- Achilles' Heel: You can Kill Her With Fire.
- Dying Alone: Kimber got lost on a winter hike and froze to death.
- Ghost Amnesia: Kimber doesn't remember who she was in life.
- Ghostly Chill: She's a ghost and it takes conscious effort on her part to suppress her cold aura.
- Glamour Failure: Sunlight shows her for what she is.
- Awesome Anachronistic Apparel: Thaelia's costume is a brightly-colored toga-style dress under piecemeal Atlantean battle armor, which resembles a modern superhero costume.
- Badass Family: Thaelia's uncle is Theseus, King of Atlantis, better known to the surface-dwellers as Sea-King, former member of the Silver Age Freedom League.
- Divine Parentage: Thaelia's father is Poseidon, the Greco-Roman god of the sea.
- Older Than They Look: She looks like she's in her 30s, but she's pushing 50.
- Show Within a Show: Husband/Wife duo Fast-Forward and Hologram host Supercrime!, a stand-in for MythBusters which airs on the Discovery Channel. In one episode, the duo (and some accompanying heroes) went on a trip to 65 Million BCE to explore dinosaur-related superhero stories.
- Superpowerful Genetics: Hologram and Fast-Forward both come from superpowered families. Their son, Thoughtspeed, has inherited both his mother's Psychic Powers and his father's Super-Speed.
