YMMV / Mighty Med

• Adorkable:
  • Oliver is awkward, shy, geekish, but sweet, kind-hearted and solely good person.
  • Skylar, due to being an alien, is not used to some things on earth which makes her come across as endearing and cute most of the time.
• Anticlimax Boss: Catastrophe is built as a very serious threat and described as "the most powerful supervillain ever to terrorise the galaxy." And yet upon his first true appearance, he does nothing more than knock around a few Red Shirts, take several laser blasts, overpowers Horace and beats him up. Before having his powers taken again by Oliver and Kaz, and being defeated by Alan.
• Ensemble Dark Horse:
  • Jordan. Many fans of the show like her Emo/Deadpan Snarker personality, plus she's played by Cozi Zuehlsdorff, a star who despite being largely unknown has a dedicated cult following. She's become the go-to girl when fan works use a female character other than Skylar. In particular, she's popular to ship with Kaz.
  • Spark from "Sparks Fly". A cute, Yandere Action Girl with electric powers. Is it any wonder she's so popular?
  • Despite having no lines in the entire series, Recurring Extra Solar Flare is a fan favorite. Also the equally voiceless Blue Tornado and Alley Cat, to lesser extents.
  • Wallace and Clyde, a comic book geek brother duo. Even though they're villains, it's hard to hate them because they can be seen as an Audience Surrogate for the periphery demographic.
  • Remix only appears in one episode, but her music based telekinesis powers and her performer (Disney alumi Debby Ryan) win her a lot of fans.
  • Timeline is another popular onetime character, due to being a humorous and powerful Time Master who has a cool wardrobe and facial hair, as well as a family relationship with two main characters.
• Evil Is Cool: Special mention goes to Skylar Storm in Season 2. Her becoming a villain added more appeal to her character.
• Fridge Brilliance: Oliver's mom doesn't want him reading comic books because she knows they are real, and believes they are dangerous for Oliver.
• Harsher in Hindsight: Last we see of Agent Blaylock, Skylar turned him into a statue. Four months later, his actor Windell D. Middlebrooks passed away, and that scene becomes a lot harder to watch.
• Hilarious in Hindsight
  • In "Atomic Blast From The Past", Skylar (as Connie) tells Stephanie that Skylar Storm would never fight in high heels as it destroys her legacy. By the time of Lab Rats: Elite Force, Skylar's new costume has heels.
  • Looks like the student who "wanna blow sh*t up with with (his) mind" not only had his wish fulfilled but it backfired on him, too, blowing his mind out of proportion.^note That freaky student and Philip are played by the same actor, Jeremy Howard.
• Hollywood Homely: Oliver, according to both Kaz and Skylar, yet the first girl to have eyes for him was Bree Davenport.
• Inferred Holocaust: There are well over a dozen other jars containing stolen heroes powers on The Annihilator's trophy shelves even discounting Skylar's. How many heroes has he defeated and left helpless? Are they okay?
  • Becomes Ascended Fridge Horror in Season two, when the second episode "Lair, Lair" is kicked off with a hero actually brought in near death because the Annihilator stole their powers and their nemesis attacked them while they were vulnerable. And after retrieving the stolen powers at the end of the episode, only six heroes are shown getting them back, suggesting the rest of them have actually been killed because of Annihilator's actions (though there could be more off screen).
• Magnificent Bastard:
  • The Annihilator, aka Neil Gundenhauser, is a hulking, muscled supervillain with a brilliant mind, renowned for defeating and draining the powers of various superheroes. Born a bullied youth due to his powers, he eventually came under the tutorship of Hapax "The Elder" Gonzales and decided to embrace evil to pay back the world for causing him pain. Defeating and depowering Skylar Storm, Annihilator manipulates her friend to evil to try and capture her and later plants a tracking device on her powers when Kaz and Oliver get it back from him. Corrupting Skylar's powers through sleight of hand to evil, Annihilator turns her evil and uses her to infect the various superheroes and turn them into his army of brainwashed soldiers. Intending to bring the world under foot, even after being fatally injured he still gets the last laugh by poisoning his killer.
  • Mr. Terror is secretly Bridget, Oliver's mother who rose to villainy as a way to protect her son, viewing the world of supers as a danger to him. After usurping her master, Bridget took over a large chunk of the supervillain underworld through a mix of her intelligence and intimidation tactics, all without powers of her own, and searches for the power source the Arcturion to gain ultimate power. Thinking on her feet after the Arcturion is caught in a fight between superheroes and villains, she waits until they're all defeated before seizing it. Seducing Horace Diaz, she gets him to fall in love with her and later resurrect her, having known the Arcturion would kill her, now allowing all of the power within without cost, now intending to remake the world all in order to protect her son.
• Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Stefanie was originally a Dumb Blonde seen as little more than eye candy, with fans preferring Jordan over her. After Dr. Wrath masqueraded as her in "Mighty Mad" fans started to appreciate her more. In her next appearance she got considerably brighter.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character:
  • A lot of the series more interesting recurring heroes, like Solar Flare, Alley Cat, Gray Granite and Blue Tornado, don't have much characterization due to never even talking.
  • Fan favorite Spark never reappeared, when it might have been interesting to see her and Kaz interact in the aftermath of their breakup.
  • Alan's mother is The Ghost despite being the wife of one superhero and the sister of a retired one, and presumably having an interesting story herself, Given that she's presumably just as old as Horace is.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: The plot where Mr. Terror is Oliver's mother, Bridget, and she agreed to marry Horace Diaz in order to abuse his resurrection power so the Arcturion does not kill her in the second half of season two that was left at a cliffhanger in the season finale, which ended up becoming the series finale because Disney rushed into Lab Rats: Elite Force instead of giving Mighty Med a season 3 first.
  • Another, lesser one, is that Stefanie is revealed to be Dr. Wrath in on episode...or, rather, Dr. Wrath impersonated her. While it would have clashed with Wallace and Clyde? It would have been quite hilarious if she really was a supervillain, and depowered.
