Incandescence contains examples of:
- Action Girl: Even in childhood, Audrey proved to be this, defending her nerdy friends from packs of bullies on a regular basis.
- Ancient Artifact: Audrey’s Blessed Collar and Dustin’s arrowhead necklace, as well as Thor’s hammer.
- Anime Hair: The titular character has a hairdo that looks to be a cross between Lisa Simpson and Goku.
- Berserk Button: Don't ever mess with Audrey's friends or family!
- Clark Kenting: She makes no attempt to fool those closest to her, but no one else in the city seems to notice that Incandescence and Audrey Hammond are both petite blondes with green eyes who run around in tights all day and are never in the same place at the same time. The only difference is the hairstyle!
- Combat Stilettos: Incandescence has no problem running or fighting in 5-inch heels.
- Comical Nap Drool: For such a super-tough superheroine, Incandescence is a big-time snorer and sleep drooler.
- Costume-Test Montage: There's one of these in the first issue.
- Five-Man Band: The Complex B team introduced in issue three fits the archetypes well.
- Flying Brick: Flight, super strength, super toughness and electric powers.
- Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak: Audrey loves watching wrestling and American football as much as she loves wearing her skirts, tights, and Mary Jane shoes.
- Happily Adopted: Audrey and her brother were evidently adopted, but clearly love the parents who adopted them and seem well-adjusted despite allusions to a Dark and Troubled Past.
- Leotard of Power: Incandescence is most comfortable in this due to her dance background.
- Like an Old Married Couple: First-issue villains Ball and Chain are like this.
- Missing Mom: At the beginning of the series, Audrey’s abusive biological mother has died in an earthquake, and her loving adoptive mother has been in a coma for four years.
- Petite Pride: Incandescence does not have the Most Common Superpower.
- Plucky Girl: Audrey keeps on smiling and helping others, despite surviving childhood abuse, a natural disaster, the loss of two moms and violent crime.
- Spandex, Latex, or Leather: Audrey’s supersuit consists of all three.
- Spiky Hair: One of the few American superheroines to have this.
- Superheroes Wear Capes: It's a very short one, but a cape nonetheless.
- Superheroes Wear Tights: Incandescence is not bare-legged or wearing the standard bold-colored superhero tights, but instead is wearing pantyhose-like opaque black tights.
