SuperThings (Taglined as "Rivals of Kaboom" and originally known as SuperZings) is a 2018 series of blind bagged figures developed by Spanish company Magicbox (creator of Gogo's Crazy Bones). The gimmick of the line takes standard inanimate objects and turns them super.

Taking place in Kaboom City, teams are made up of heroes and villains. You can tell the heroes because they have white eyes, and you can tell the villains for their yellow eyes. Each hero has a rival villain, an opposite of their item type. For example, a heroic orange has a villainous citrus juicer as an enemy. The series would expand itself to further this concept, creating mechas for the characters, vehicle playsets, and eventually, the Kazoom Kids, action figures ordinary human kids transformed by the power of Kazoom. Each series also has various Rare silver-colored characters (the captains of the teams), two Super Rare golden-colored characters (Super Leaders of the whole faction), and a singular Ultra Rare character, who is a major driver of the plot of their respective series.

The whole series is supplemented by a webseries, which fleshes out the plot of the line. Kaboom City gives way to superheroes by the power of Kazoom, a battery-like element that transforms inanimate objects into superheroes, run by Clank Corp. Throughout the series, the true motives of Clank Corp. are soon brought into question, as villains start to arrive, mysterious figures turn into allies, and new creations come through with the power of Kazoom.

The webseries itself is also shaken through various toy gimmicks, with each gimmick giving itself a new chapter into the show, along with a new Ultra Rare to turn the plot. While Series 1 stuck with standard gimmicks, other series would pave new paths into the franchise:

  • Series 1 stuck with base characters, but laid the ground work of the series. Enigma is the Ultra Rare of the series.
  • Series 2 introduces the element "Krystaline", creating stronger crystal-finished heroes and villains. Professor K. is the Ultra Rare of the series.
  • Series 3 introduces Superbots, mecha for the SuperThings. Mr. King is the Ultra Rare of the series.
  • Series 4 introduces teams, giving an extra pairing for the collection. Kid Kazoom is the Ultra Rare of the series.
  • Series 5 introduces Super Flyers, characters that use jetpacks to fly. Kid Fury is the Ultra Rare for of series.
  • Series 6, "Secret Spies", introduces the "Super Spies", a new faction of characters that hide their allegiance through special sunglasses. Oculus Max is the Ultra Rare of the series.
  • Series 7, "Power Machines", brings robots and new Superbots into the fray. Doctor Volt is the Ultra Rare of the series.
  • Series 8, "Kazoom Kids", introduces Neon Blast, a pure energy character that helps create the "Kazoom Kids", humans enchanted with the power of Kazoom. Neon Blast is the Ultra Rare of the series.
  • Series 9, "Guardians of Kazoom", introduces Rainbow Kazoom Power, a stronger split element that creates new abilities and new Kazoom Kids. Kazoom Blast, the upgraded form of Neon Blast, is the Ultra Rare of the series.
  • Series 10, "Rescue Force", focuses on the duel between Emperorder and Moonarchaos, the original hero and villain, along with their overlooking of new Kazoom Kids. Emperorder and Moonarchaos are the joint Ultra Rares of the series, the first series to have more than one.
  • Series 11, "Neon Power", introduces archmage Colorflash, transferring glowing Neon Powers to new Kazoom Kids. It also introduces the Wild Kids, Kazoom Kids with animal abilities. Colorflash is the Ultra Rare of the series.
  • Series 12, "Mutant Battle", gives the Kazoom Kids color change powers that can turn the tides in battle. It also introduces Morph, a mutant blob that flips between sides unintentionally. Morph is the Ultra Rare of the series.
  • Series 13, "Evolution", focuses on glow in the dark abilities, with a combination of robot-based characters and Wild-like ones, SuperThings with animal attributes. Galacticool is the Ultra Rare of the series.
  • An interim series, "Legends", rereleased the characters and gimmicks from Series 1 to Series 9 for ease of newer collectors. Kid Kazoom and Kid Fury returned as joint Ultra Rares of this series.

Plans have been announced for the toyline to receive an All-CGI Cartoon Animated Adaptation produced by Filmax, which will begin airing in Spain in late 2024, as well as a movie which is planned to release in 2026. In addition, SuperThings has already received a live stage musical adaptation. Yes, really.


The SuperThings line contains examples of:

  • Action Figure File Card: The SuperThings all have file card-esque bios that list their power, catchphrase, and sometimes a few facts about their personality; these are readable on the toyline’s official website, except for the ones from Series 3 (which are unavailable due to a glitch) and Evolution (which the site has not yet been updated to include).
  • Adaptational Badass: The versions of Clowny and Mayor Duplus in the cartoon are simple civilian characters, with no abilities to their name. Once they were ported into the toyline, they were turned into superheroes, gaining superpowers, getting to be part of a hero team, and each getting their own nemesis.
  • Adaptation Dye-Job: Clowny in the webseries is black and white in color, fitting of his mime design. When he was ported to the toyline, due to a limited amount of color options for the common figures, he was instead given a purple and yellow color scheme.
  • Animal-Themed Superbeing: The Wild Kids, rather than being based on objects like other Kazoom Kids, are instead based on animals. They're granted various abilities that reflect the animals they became, along with outfits that blend the animal elements into them.
  • Animate Inanimate Object: The SuperThings are created with three ingredients: any inanimate object, either white or yellow essence (which decides their morality), and the power of Kazoom. This turns the item into a living being, albeit still they originally were.
  • Anthropomorphic Food: A large glut of SuperThings are based around food. Mr. C, an orange-based superhero, was a common mascot for the first series.
  • Arch-Enemy: Each SuperThing and Kazoom Kid are matched with an opposite enemy. The theming will be opposite of each other, being an item of hindrance, contrasting flavors, or items in a shared category.
  • Art Evolution: The artwork for the website splash arts of the characters have evolved over time. Starting with black-outlined designs with a comic book-esque aesthetic, once the Kazoom Kids era started, the characters were made far more dynamic, with colored outlines instead.
  • Bash Brothers: The gimmick of Series 4. Characters are teamed up with a partner, creating an extra dynamic of collecting. Each team has their own special attack that combines with the other's.
  • Blind Bag Collectables: The main gimmick of the line. The goal is to both complete teams and complete rivalries in collecting. There are also rarer figures to attempt to collect as well.
  • Blob Monster: Morph. Instead of being an inanimate object come to life, he is a four-armed blob of unstable essence. Being created by various essences mixed together, he has unstable powers and the tendency to switch alliances against his will.
  • Blue Is Heroic:
    • Once Mr. King's plans are revealed, blue Kazoom is automatically made the "heroic" creation color, with red instead being the one made for the villains. In particular, Kid Kazoom is a being made of pure heroic Kazoom, as is Kazoom Power, his Kazoom Kid counterpart.
    • Morph's heroic half shifts his color scheme to blue, in contrast to the green color of his villain side.
  • Cactus Person: Kactor, the villainous Super Leader of Series 1, is an anthropomorphic cactus with the ability to fire his spines.
  • Cain and Abel:
    • Emperorder and Moonarchaos are the original hero and villain of the world, and are also brothers. Emperorder is the younger of the two, with Moonarchaos the older villain.
    • Dr. Tropic and Captain Pine are both brothers on opposite sides of morality. Dr. Tropic is a villain, while Captain Pine is a hero. The two of them aren't directly rivals to each other, and have their own rivalries instead.
    • Puzz Left and Pierce Right are brothers and rivals to each other, each being opposite-sided puzzle pieces. Puzz Left is a villain, while Pierce Right is a hero.
    • Best Bite and Bad Bite are halves of the same sandwich, and are brothers on opposite sides, along with being each others' rivals. Best Bite is a hero, while Bad Bite is a villain. The two share the same sandwich fillings, but each have different abilities.
    • Ace Calibur and Gladius Gold are brothers on opposing sides. Ace Calibur is a heroic sword, while Gladius Gold is a villainous one. Both are also high-ranked team members, Ace Calibur being a Captain and Gladius Gold a Super Leader.
  • CamelCase: ”SuperThings” is written like this, with capitalization but no space.
  • Canon Immigrant:
    • Characters such as Mr. King, Professor K., Ron Ron, Clowny, and Mayor Duplus, were first created for the webseries. They would later be added to the toyline. Mr. King (with Ron Ron) and Professor K. were made Ultra Rare characters, Mayor Duplus was made a Super Rare figure, and Clowny was made a common figure with two color variants.
    • Oculus Max provides for an interesting variation. Planned to be a figure from the start, it took him until Series 6 to get a figure. He was revealed as a character in the show starting in Series 2, only being referred to as "Max", where he was hidden in shadows, with his eyes and gloves visible, only getting a true reveal when his series released.
    • While without physical toy backing, a few characters have been canonized as existing in the toyline canon from the webseries via bios, due to relationships with other characters. Walpurgis (only revealed as a character existing in a nightmare in an episode) is Witchy Way's cousin, and Young Joe is the grandson of non-superhero character Old Joe.
  • Cartoon Creature: Unlike other SuperThings, Enigma isn't truly an anthro top hat. Instead, he’s an unknown blue-skinned character that simply wears the top hat as part of his outfit, as seen when he was younger and wouldn't always wear it, opting for a face-covering hoodie instead.
  • Celebrity Masquerade: Songstar. As said in his online bio, pre-Kazoom Kid transformation, he was the lead of popular music group K-Zoom, and was actually in the middle of a recording session during his transformation.
  • Chest Insignia: The Kazoom Kids, hero and villain alike, have a symbol on their chest that matches the ability and item that they're powered by.
  • Clashing Cousins: Witchy Way's cousin is Walpurgis. Both are powerful witches on opposing factions: Witchy Way is a heroine, while Walpurgis is a villainess.
  • Creating Life Is Unforeseen:
    • Neon Blast was accidentally created from Professor K.'s destroyed allegiance reversal machine. A machine so powerful that it could change heroes into villains, all the pent up Kazoom energy released during the destruction of it formed Neon Blast, a being of pure Kazoom energy.
    • Morph was another accidental creation of Professor K's. On the behest of Mr. King, the professor mixed together various essences, both hero and villain, in the attempt to create the ultimate living superweapon. Instead, Morph was created, an unstable blob that not only activates the powers of others at random, but switches allegiances at random as well, with neither hero nor villain side aware of this.
  • Crystal Ball: Colorflash's object representation is a crystal ball with neon colors in his globe. A skilled magician, he taught Enigma everything he knew about magic. His powers include the ability to foresee events and Neon Power, letting him enchant SuperThings, Kazoom Kids, and vehicles with stronger abilities and brighter color schemes.
  • Cyber Green: Gameglitch, being powered by green Kazoom energy, is a video game-themed Kazoom Kid that is neon green in color. One of her partners, Negabyte, a Game Boy-styled SuperThing, has a green screen, also fitting the theme.
  • Domino Mask: One of the always-worn items of a majority of the characters, heroes and villains alike. Some eschew the mask for goggles or glasses that fit the similar aesthetic, while hat-based characters have the hatband making up a portion of their mask. In non-toy scenarios for the brand, the mask is one of the few items that is never removed, even in alternate outfits.
  • Enemy Scan: X-385 II’s power allows him to perform a version of this- if he touches someone, he can make (always correct) information about them appear in his documents.
  • Everyone Has a Special Move: Each SuperThing has their own special ability that relates to the object they're based on, such as a cheese-based character having the ability to create holes, or a microphone having listening abilities. Some powers are far luckier than others, while others draw very unfortunately.
  • Everyone Is a Super: The majority of Kaboom City is made up of superheroes and supervillains, often created thanks to the Kazoom. There are a few rare characters that develop their powers instead, along with a small minority of non-powered civilians. In the case of the Kazoom Kids, they are a far more recent addition to the pool of heroes, turning ordinary humans into superheroes.
  • Evil Knockoff: Kid Fury was made by the villains to replace Kid Kazoom as the new hero of the town. He is made up of red Kazoom energy, to contrast Kid Kazoom’s blue, and has it drilled into his head that he should be the hero, purely because he’s stronger.
  • Exotic Eye Designs: Colorflash, fitting his mystical sorcerous abilities and neon theming, has bright pink eyes instead of the white eyes that most heroes have. To add to this, he has four-pointed white pupils instead of the black dots of others.
  • Fire/Water Juxtaposition:
    • Watermax is a heroic Kazoom Kid that uses the element of water as his ability, being a living extinguisher. In contrast, his enemy is Funfire, a Kazoom Kid torch.
    • Sandy Summer is a sandcastle-based Kazoom Kid with heat-based abilities. In contrast, her enemy is Snowful, a snowman-based Kazoom Kid villain with ice powers.
  • Floating Limbs: Colorflash has arms that are only gloves, with no connection to his body, so they just float, fitting his magical abilities. On his toy, his lack of arms is represented with glittery transparent plastic pieces to make it look like they're floating in midair.
  • Fluorescent Footprints: Spybulb’s power allows his light to reveal the tracks of anyone who’d recently walked across whatever ground or floor his light is pointed at, with the tracks taking the form of luminescent footprints.
  • Flying Broomstick: Parodied with Witchy Way. Like Walpurgis, her cousin introduced in the webseries, she is a witch that is also the broomstick. The only difference is that Witchy Way is on the side of the heroes, unlike her cousin.
  • Flying Saucer
    • Alien Bandit, the villainous Super Leader from Series 5, is a flying saucer with the ability to fire out a Tractor Beam.
    • Saturnalia from Mutant Battles, is another UFO, this time with Gravity Master powers.
    • The Evolution series introduces Nebulaxia, a Kazoom Kid based on flying saucers. Her partner SuperThing, Star Explorer, is also a UFO. Humorously, while the previous saucer SuperThings had been rivaled with rockets, Nebulaxia’s rival, Whoosh, is based on… electric fans.
  • Forgetful Jones: One of Colorflash's major traits in personality, according to his bio, is his forgetfulness. He's very wise, but forgets that he's very wise, which causes challenges for him. Not that he minds, he doesn't like making things too easy for himself.
  • Four-Leaf Clover: Lucky O' Green has a four-leaf clover as his object representation. His ability, "Stroke of Luck", lets him bring good luck towards himself.
  • Gamer Chick: Gameglitch was originally a KaboomTube livestreamer. Now, imbued with the power of her video games and green Kazoom energy, she’s a villainous video game Kazoom Kid with endless stamina and powerful abilities.
  • Garlic Is Abhorrent: Count Garlik, as a living garlic bulb, is a foul-breathed villain that uses his toxic fumes as his weapon of choice. Despite garlic being associated with lower class and feared by vampires, he instead dresses up as a cravat-wearing vampire, though it's not fully stated if he is one or not.
  • Gold and White Are Divine: Emperorder, the original hero, is a white and gold sun.
  • Gold-Colored Superiority: Each series has a pair of golden Super Leaders, one heroic and one villainous, who are the leaders of their entire respective faction.
  • Grappling-Hook Pistol: Part of Oculus Max's arsenal is a gauntlet-worn grappling hook pistol.
  • Gratuitous English: The original Spanish language release of the series still keeps the English names of the characters.
  • Great Gazoo: Neon Blast. A creation of the villains that is neither hero or villain, he has the abilities of Kazoom, letting him enchant items and transform kids into Kazoom Kids. His further antics would turn him into Kazoom Blast, a far stronger version of himself. His power grew so strong that the aftershocks woke up the dormant Emperorder and Moonarchaos.
  • Happy Harlequin Hat: Neon Blast's transformation into Kazoom Blast turns him into an even more powerful being resembling a harlequin hat. Fitting his joyful trickster personality, he splits his body between red and blue thanks to the two colors of Kazoom, further causing him to resemble a three-pronged harlequin hat.
  • Heel–Face Revolving Door: Morph, though not because he wants to. Being a mutant creature made of both negative and positive energy, he has the tendency to change allegiances at random, not even realizing his good and bad side from each other.
  • I Believe I Can Fly: This is normally averted, as flight is a fairly rare power… except in Series 5, whose gimmick consisted of a large number of SuperThings who were able to fly regardless of whether or not it meshes with the rest of their power set or fits them thematically.
  • Idea Bulb: This trope is parodied with Doctor Volt, a genius inventor who is a lightbulb. He's a plasma ball, and his head glows whenever he has an idea, with his figure being a glow in the dark one.
  • The Imp: Neon Blast. Being on neither the side of the heroes or the villains, he's a lightning bolt-like character that prefers to have fun. He wants to avoid being on either team, and instead empowers random items, turning them into catalyst items to create Kazoom Kids. Even when he's transformed into Kazoom Blast, a far more powerful entity, he keeps this same thing up, focusing on what's fun for him rather than good or evil.
  • Jekyll & Hyde: Due to Morph's creation from a variety of essences, both hero and villain, he has two personalities: his blue, white eyed Hero form, and his green, yellow-eyed Villain form. Unfortunately for himself, his powers are unstable to the point that he can't switch sides as will, nor does his Hero side or his Villain side realize either exists.
  • Junior Counterpart: Some of the Kazoom Kids, rather than being representatives of different items, are instead counterparts to existing major SuperThings:
    • Kazoom Power is the junior counterpart to Kid Kazoom. Like his counterpart, Kazoom Power has the issue of having too much power bundled up into an inexperienced body.
    • Fury Storm is the junior counterpart to Kid Fury. Considering they both share the same temperamental personality, this proves to be chaotic for both of them.
    • Mega K is the junior counterpart to Professor K. While as scientific-minded as the professor, they are far more bungling.
    • Enigma, rather than getting his own junior counterpart, instead becomes his own junior counterpart. With the ability to turn into a Kazoom Kid when needed, he uses this ability to stay on equal footing with the other stronger-powered Kazoom Kids, and also put balance into the rivalry against Mega K.
  • Kid Hero:
    • Kid Kazoom, formerly Kid Shine, was one of the last superheroes created before Enigma stole the Kazoom from Clank Corp. Already a young and inexperienced hero thanks to his new creation, after his accident that required his transformation into Kid Kazoom, he became the protector of Kaboom City, though he had much to learn before he mastered his abilities.
    • The Kazoom Kids are all children that were enchanted by the power of Kazoom. As Neon Blast empowered random items they were interacting with with Kazoom, they transformed into superheroes that are based around their object theming.
  • Market-Based Title: The SuperThings name was originally the name given to English-speaking countries for the brand, as the toyline's original name was SuperZings in its native Spanish. Starting with the "Super Spies" series, the whole series would adopt the "SuperThings" name.
  • Mass Super-Empowering Event: Neon Blast screwing around and having fun avoiding other SuperThings has him leaving a trail of chaos in his wake, starting the creation of the Kazoom Kids. Other antics would end up creating more and more Kazoom Kids through mass creation events.
  • Master of Threads: Tangle Boy has the power to create and control yarn.
  • Mix-and-Match Critters: The SuperThings paired with the Wild Kids, have animal theming as part of them, rather than the humanoid form of others, such as a lion mixed with a drumstick or a dragon mixed with a blowtorch. This is an element from the webseries, as Ron Ron, Mr. King’s pet dog, is a dog combined with a bone.
  • Opaque Nerd Glasses: Professor K. wears a pair of thick goggles with the standard "eye spiral" designs on them. In the how to draw video for him, Supersketch refers to them as "thick old man glasses". While they fit his nerdy scientific edge, they also do the job of hiding his yellow eyes from the citizens, thus hiding the twist that he's a villain from them for the longest time.
  • Order Versus Chaos: This is the running theme between Emperorder and Moonarchaos, the original hero and villain of Kaboom City. Being the sun and moon of the land, they domain their respective times of day. Emperorder is the sun, ally to the heroic Kazoom Kids, while Moonarchaos is the moon and ally to the villainous Kazoom Kids. Moonarchaos' powers allow him to throw things into dissaray, while Emperorder's allow him to undo his older brother's messes.
  • Palette Swap: Each common-release character has at least one alternate color available. Series 1 canon called them "special suits", and treated them like more powerful outfits for them to wear.
  • Phantom Thief: Enigma is this in design, though he is the main protagonist of the series. Dressed in a dark and dapper cape and top hat, paired with a magic wand that resembles a cane, he uses both his magic and science abilities to sneak through Clank Corp. and steal from the villains. He has stolen invention blueprints for the heroes multiple times and, most importantly, the Kazoom power source. Despite the audience learning the heroic reasonings for his thievery, the villains have twisted the narrative to make all of Kaboom City think he's a villain, a lie that would eventually be shed. He would still keep his spying and gadgetry abilities later on, but would focus on magic, turning him more into a magician over a gentleman thief.
  • Rainbow Motif: The six Kazoom Kids formed by rainbow Kazoom power each have a color motif that gives them a special power:
    • The blue Kickstar, with the power of Speed.
    • The red Powerpunch, with the power of Strength.
    • The purple Glazer, with the power of Defense.
    • The orange Burgerblast, with the power of Aim.
    • The yellow Guitarrific, with the power of Valor.
    • The green Gameglitch, with the power of Endurance.
  • Red and Black and Evil All Over: Moonarchaos, the original villain, is a red and black crescent moon.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: Mr. King, the Big Bad of the series, has burning red eyes, rather than the yellow eyes of the other villains. He used to have heroic white eyes as a child, but gained his red eyes after the accident that disillusioned him.
  • Ret-Canon: The toyline has taken a variety of elements from the webseries, primarily importing show-original characters into the series.
  • Retro Rocket: There are two SuperThings based on the classic “cartoon rocket” design- the heroic Rocketzing from Series 5, and the villainous Star Bandit from Mutant Battles.
  • Science Wizard: Enigma. Due to being a young assistant in Professor K.'s stead originally, Enigma knows a large number of scientific skills, and still makes robots and other vehicles. However, magic is still his big forte, which he uses to increase his powers further.
  • Shear Menace: There are four villains based on scissors: Mad Blades, Double Shack, Cutleaf (who’s specifically based on gardening shears), and Shack Shock. All of them share Absurd Cutting Power as their ability.
  • Sherlock Homage: Everything about Sherlook is a huge Sherlock Holmes reference. He's a magnifying glass detective that wears a deerstalker, with his cape resembling Sherlock's more than a superhero cape, and carries a Bubble Pipe. His Moriarty is Wicked Eyes, a mustache-twirling pair of binoculars. He would later gain further references in the webseries, such as the ability to play violin and his own Watson in the form of Albertgine, a fellow superhero.
  • Shout-Out:
    • Brush Lee is named in reference to Bruce Lee.
    • Outlaw Clint is named in reference to Clint Eastwood.
    • Top Drop is a raindrop named in reference to a lyric from "Bad & Boujee" ("Raindrop, drop top").
    • Fuji Hammer and Pearonius take inspiration in design and abilities from various iterations of Thor and Loki, respectively.
    • Ziggy Beat is named and designed for two David Bowie references: he gets his name from Ziggy Stardust and his lightning bolt mask decoration from the "Aladdin Sane" album.
  • Sinister Shades: All of the Spies, whether villain or hero, wears a pair of sunglasses that hides their allegiance. This has labeled all spies untrustworthy by the other SuperThings, as no one can judge their morality at first glance.
  • The Smurfette Principle: Being a series meant for boys, the girls of the series are very low in count. For the longest time, the only girl was Wondershine, all the way back from the first series. Later series would add more girls through the Kazoom Kids, but still only one girl per team, and often lopsidedly.
  • Solar and Lunar: Emperorder and Moonarchaos, the original hero and villain. Emperorder is a heroic sun, while Moonarchaos is an evil moon.
  • Spike Shooter: Kactor, a Cactus Person, has the ability to fire out his spines.
  • Super-Empowering:
    • The combination of Kazoom energy, an ordinary object, and essence, is what creates SuperThings in the first place.
    • Kid Kazoom was created by Enigma using pure Kazoom energy in a lifesaving measure on Kid Shine, turning the superhero into a further one.
    • Neon Blast, being an element of Kazoom, is able to empower kids into becoming Kazoom Kids. This would increase stronger when he became Kazoom Blast.
  • Super-Hearing: Mikey and Whisper (who are both based on microphones) both have this as their superpower.
  • Superheroes Wear Capes: Supervillains as well. One of the consistent outfit traits of the SuperThings, hero and villain alike, is a collared cape as part of their outfits.
  • Super Mode: Unlike the other Kazoom Kids, Enigma, being so powerful in his magic, is able to temporarily boost his skills by turning himself into a Kazoom Kid.
  • Themed Stock Board Game: There have been two versions of Monopoly Junior with SuperThings theming. The first version was from the Zings version of the series, while the second uses the Secret Spies series. Each version of the game has exclusive metallic versions of existing characters as the pieces.
  • Theme Twin Naming: Exaggerated with Cherry Combo. The two are a twin pair of cherries connected to each other, with the names "Billy" and "Billie".
  • Transforming Mecha: The Evolution series introduces the Turbo Warriors Power and Speed, Cool Cars which transform into giant robots. They're piloted by, respectively, the heroic Lancelord and the villainous Morgus Laser.
  • Vampires Hate Garlic: Parodied. Count Garlik is designed to look like a vampire, with a high collared cape, fangs, and a cravat, but he instead is the garlic bulb.
  • Walking Techfix: Mech Fixer’s superpower allows him to repair broken machinery by merely looking at it.
  • Weaponized Stench: A variety of SuperThings, primarily villains, have odors as their super ability:
    • The team ability of the Double Acids. Being made up of an onion and a garlic bulb, the two of them use their foul breath odors to hinder their opponents.
    • Doc Detrius, a living garbage bag, can loosen his tie and send foul odors in all directions.
    • Toxfung, a poison mushroom, can unleash a variety of toxic spores, but most of them end up a stinky cloud that hits his opponents and clings onto them.
    • Caulipower, a stalk of cauliflower, has super strength as his ability, but being already stinky equals his attacks causing his stench to rub off onto others when he hits.
  • Yellow Eyes of Sneakiness: Yellow eyes is what marks a villain in the series. Neon Blast, being purely focused on self-mischief instead of evil or good, has a singular yellow eye instead. The Kazoom Kids follow this trend, with villains keeping yellow sclera.
  • Younger Alter Ego: Enigma, rather than having a Kazoom Kid counterpart, can instead use his magic to boost his abilities and turn himself into a Kazoom Kid.
  • Your Mime Makes It Real: Clowny's superpower in the toyline is "Mega Mimic", fitting his mime design. He has the power to create any object he can think of, with the caveat that it's always invisible.
