Basic Trope: The use of superpowers to fulfill one's perverted desires.
- Straight:
- Aquatic Alice uses her power to get her partners up.
- Elastic Elliot uses his power to elongate his "equipment" when having sex with Bouncing Barbara.
- Exaggerated:
- Blazing Bob uses his power to actively do anything sexual related, such as taking off clothing or even moving.
- Aerial basically spends all his time either tearing people's clothes off with wind, being invisible in the girl's bathroom, or Autoerotic Asphyxiation.
- Alice is constantly getting New Powers as the Plot Demands, but only to indulge in new methods of perversion.
- Hypno Henry has the power to control minds. He uses it to hypnotise the Alpha Bitch into dancing naked in front of the school.
- Reality Ricky has the power to control reality itself. He uses it to create a reality where there is world peace, no crime and the Alpha Bitch is legally required to be permanently naked.
- Downplayed:
- Aquatic Alice cleans herself with her power.
- Aerial Ace uses his wind powers to flip skirts and masturbate.
- Justified:
- They never learned how to have sex normally.
- The use of powers are an important part of their courtship rituals.
- Alice is already a bit of a pervert to begin with. When she gained superpowers, it didn't take long for her to figure out perverted uses for them.
- Despite her name, Alice's powers are only effective on semen. It's hard to find a non-sexual use for this one.
- Henry’s powers are powered by the humiliation of the Alpha Bitch.
- Inverted:
- People's perversions are used as the basis for developing superpowers.
- Alice weaponized a number of spells originally designed for sexual gratification.
- Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex: superpowers prevent, rather than enhance, nookie.
- Nudifier Natalie has the power to make anyone’s clothes disappear into thin air. She only uses her powers to strip criminals, and only as a last resort.
- Orgasm Orla, who has the power to give instaneous orgasms, is asexual and only uses her powers to incapacitate criminals.
- Subverted:
- Bob seems to heat the air around him, but he actually just suffers from Power Incontinence sometimes.
- Bob burns an attractive super villainess's clothes off, but it was for justifiable reasons...
- Double Subverted:
- ...Emphasis on sometimes, as Bob is easily capable of intentionally manipulating the temperature.
- But there were other ways of solving the problem, and that excuse doesn't explain why he was staring with a dopey grin on his face...
- Parodied:
- Alice hunts for powers and power-users JUST for the sex.
- Multiple man and Rubber lass would never abuse their powers this way, but everyone else thinks otherwise.
- Alice doesn't understand that there's a non-sexual use for her powers.
- A married pair of superheroes freak out their kids by going into graphic detail on how their powers helped in their sex life.
- Zig Zagged: Bob heats the air, but he actually suffers from Power Incontinence. Except he doesn't as that's just a lie... a lie told because he doesn't want the marked shapeshifters to know he's looking. Still...
- Averted: People either don't care about sexuality or their powers can't be used perversely.
- Enforced:
- "We need to show that our characters are people. What if we show what they would use their powers for sexually?"
- It's a Hentai magna. It would be weirder if any powers were not used sexually.
- Lampshaded: "Geez, there really has to be better uses for pyrokinesis than getting people to strip."
- Invoked: Figuring with great powers comes great peaks, Bob begins increasing temperature around him so women will end up stripping.
- Exploited: Emperor Evulz discredits the heroes to the public by showing footage of their superpowered perversion.
- Defied:
- "What, people are trying to use my gifts unto them for sex? I refuse to let them misuse their gifts!"
- "Yeah, if I tried my strength like that... Let's just say ground beef ain't sexy, alright?
- Discussed: "So who would be better in bed anyways?" "Well Bob can really heat a girl up, but then there's Thomas and he can just make you... hover, ya know?"
- Conversed: "What's the point of using powers pervertedly? It doesn't actually improve the process." "Yes, but people do have all kinds of fetishes."
- Implied:
- The girls Bob date eventually end up removing articles of clothing, though the temperature never seems to get overly hot around them.
- Alice's partner asks her if she can do anything interesting with her powers. She then looks upward thoughtfully, tilts her head with a smile and a blush, before answering yes.
- Deconstructed:
- Both heroes and villains are seen as a big joke as it becomes increasingly well known how much perversion potential their abilities have.
- Aerial Ace was an otherwise respectable superhero, until his bad habits became public knowledge due to the Paparazzi. This ruined his career and forced him to retire, leaving him deeply unhappy. It's implied he's not the first one to be "decommissioned" this way.
- Aquatic Alice accidentally harms her partner this way. Superpowers are not a toy.
- Reconstructed:
- Heroes and villains are seen more as people rather than impersonal forces as the perverted potential becomes known.
- Aerial Ace is much more secretive with his habits, and always makes sure to get permission from his partners. He's still definitely not above abusing his air powers in 'interesting" ways, however.
- Alice finds a Boyfriend who has his own powers and a very masochistic mindset. Any accidents during foreplay are part of the fun.
- Played For Laughs:
- Bob starts trying out new powers, going from Flight to stranger things like dustokinesies.
- Shapeshifters Alice and Bob pretend to be their friends Claire and Daniel in bed, only for the latter two to walk in on them.
- Played For Drama:
- Temporal Thomas gets fed up trying to bed his girlfriend, instead just using his power to avoid consequences.
- Alice uses her water powers to masturbate. Combined with Internalized Categorism from being a mutant, crippling loneliness, and just general shame and self-loathing, it only ends up adding a crippling fear of her own sexuality to her long list of worries.
