Basic Trope: A character explains his/her powers, while using them, to no-one in particular for the benefit of the audience.
- Straight: Amazing Girl mentions to herself how her superpowers will help her whenever she uses them, such as when she is lifting an oil tanker.
- Exaggerated: She goes into an in-depth expiation of the fictional physics behind her powers at a drop of a hat, such as to explain where the chalkboard came from.
- Downplayed: Amazing Girl thinks to herself "Glad I’m invincible" when she’s hit by a particularly devastating attack.
- Justified:
- She really IS explaining her powers for the benefit of onlookers.
- Amazing Girl needs to remind herself how her own powers work.
- She has always had the power to talk to squirrels, but has never used them on-screen till the optimum punch-line moment.
- Inverted:
- The viewers are never quite told, what, exactly, Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism man’s powers are.
- Emperor Evilz gloats to Amazing Girl how her power will NOT protect her when he unleashes his Wave-Motion Gun.
- Subverted: Amazing girl never explains her powers outright, and certainly not while using them…
- Double Subverted: ...because it’s in the narration box.
- Parodied:
- "Luckily my larynx can make noises to tell you this!"
- Amazing Girl’s explanations are constantly interrupted by the Quirky Miniboss Squad yelling increasingly unlikely ideas about what powers she actually has.
- Zig Zagged: Sometimes Amazing Girl explains, sometimes she doesn’t, some times she explains powers she doesn’t actually have.
- Averted: Her powers are explained once in the first episode and are never talked about again.
- Enforced: Viewers Are Goldfish. Also, to let new readers know.
- Lampshaded: "Have I told you about my powers? I don’t think I have told you about my powers."
- Invoked: Among his many varied powers, Mr. Exposition can force superbeings to explain the powers they use.
- Exploited: Evilz manages to find Amazing Girl's weakness when she explains how her power will protect her.
- Defied: Emperor Evilz goes to insane lengths to hide his powers, so that no-one can abuse his weaknesses: to the point of hiding them even from the fourth wall.
- Discussed: "Why do you always do that, A.G?" "…I like to hear myself talk. I'm lonely..."
- Conversed: "Yes, super-strength, WE GET IT ALREADY!"
- Deconstructed: Amazing Girl is Killed Mid-Sentence.
- Reconstructed: Amazing Girl takes time to analyse her opponents and make sure that they don't kill her during her speech. Alternatively, she explains her powers once the villain is already almost defeated.
- Plotted A Good Waste: Amazing Girl talks about her powers ever time to remind herself how they are slowly killing her.
- Played For Laughs: "Wait, I missed that, what can you do again?"
