Basic Trope: A device of some sort made to counteract a Kryptonite Factor.

  • Straight: Amazing Girl wears a lead suit to protect herself against fluromite, her only weakness.
  • Exaggerated:
    • Amazing Girl has anti-fluromite clothing for every occasion.
    • Amazing Girl has a separate suit for each weakness she has.
  • Downplayed: Amazing Girl isn’t that weak to fluromtie to begin with, and just has the suit to reduce the worst of it.
  • Justified:
    • Electro-man is shorted out by water, so naturally, anything that would keep him dry will protect him from it.
    • It’s just a regular survival suit, as Amazing Girl’s weakness is simply earth’s atmosphere.
  • Inverted:
    • Dr. Borfinstine make an energy beam that amplifies Amazing Girl’s weakness to fluromite, making even the smallest amount of it fatal.
    • Man of Kryptonite: Dr. Borfinstine wears a suit made out of fluromite, in order to kill Amazing Girl.
    • Amazing Girl wraps the Fluromite Golem in lead weave in order to contain it's destructive energies.
  • Subverted:
    • It turns out the suit is made of lead for different reasons, and it wasn’t intended to block fluromite at all.
    • Amazing Girl shows up in the lead-lined suit… and it does nothing to help her against the fluromite.
  • Double Subverted:
    • It was, however, successful in protecting Amazing girl against onions, her other weakness.
    • Turns out she was faking it in order to convince her enemies that she doesn’t have such a suit.
  • Parodied:
    • Amazing girl rejects an anti-fluromite suit because it doesn’t match her colour scheme.
    • It's an Embarrassing but Empowering Outfit.
    • Only the suit is fluromite-proof: it actually does nothing to protect the superhero INSIDE it.
  • Zig Zagged: The suit is fluromtie-proof all right, but it's not actually Amazing Girl in the suit: she's controlling it via remote control from a great distance as an additional precaution.
  • Averted: No Kryptonite Factors are countered like this.
  • Enforced: It’s used to sell yet another action figure of Amazing Girl.
  • Lampshaded: “HEY! That’s CHEATING! You’re not allowed to counter my unfair advantage like that!”
  • Invoked: Amazing Girl demands a lead-lined version of her costume in order to fight the Fluromite Man.
  • Exploited: Exploited Immunity: Realising that she has an anti-fluromite suit and her Evil Knockoff doesn’t, Amazing Girl drags her double into a fluromite reactor with her in order to defeat her.
  • Defied:
  • Discussed: “For every sword there is a shield, and for every shield another sword to destroy that one. This outfit is just another link in the massive defense-offense chain.
  • Conversed: “Amazing Girl’s fluromite weakness been established long enough that the writes have decide to start messing with it.”
  • Deconstructed:
    • Realizing that she has no real reason NOT to wear such a suit all the time, Amazing Girl incorporates it into her normal costume, essentially removing fluromite as a weakness.
    • The anti-fluromite suit is bulky, clumsy and tears easily, to the point where Amazing Girl loses against regular mooks while using it, fluromite or not.
  • Reconstructed:
    • She still need an extra-protective suit against particularly large concentrations of fluromite however, which is too expensive to be used regularly.
    • While it still weighs her down a bit, Amazing Girl trains excessively with a hardened, upgraded version of the suit to allow her to fight at her full potential while wearing it.

Make sure to bring a Kryptonite-Proof Suit' to the main-page.
