History Characters / SuperPowereds

* TheBigGuy: Roy, who is, by far the physically strongest of their whole class.
* TheHeart: Vince, who is very much the moral center of the group and often plays MoralityPet, especially to Nick.
* TheLeader: Mary, who's described as the TeamMom and was made the leader in the second year.
* TheSmartGuy: Nick, who is a ManipulativeBastard and TheStrategist. Mary even [[LampshadeHanging admits this]].
* TheSocialExpert: Alice, who after having [[DefrostingIceQueen warmed up to her surroundings]] proves to have great people skills and can get along with pretty much anyone.

* EarlyBirdCameo: He's mentioned in the first book as the student who defeats Roy in their ranking match, but isn't named until the sequel.

* OedipusComplex: Both Hershel and Roy are extremely resentful of their father for leaving their family. Roy in particular avoids talking about him as much as possible, due to their father's former career as a hero and Roy wanting to avoid being in his shadow.

* TheHeart: Vince, who is very much the moral center of the group and often plays MoralityPet, especually to Nick.

A silver haired young man with energy absorption powers. Vince is far and away the most idealistic of the Melbrook gang. After becoming a Hero he goes by the name Jack of All.

* TheCape: Vince is is kind, idealistic, helpful and always believes the best of everyone. If there were a Most Likely To Pass ranking, Vince would be at the top of the list from day 1.

* {{Determinator}}: Another one of his biggest traits. If he has truly set his sights on doing something, you're only way to stop him is knock him out and keep him that way.

* EverybodyHatesMathematics: Vince is terrible at math, which is justified since he never had proper schooling, and his adopted father wasn't big on the subject either. This nearly causes him to flunk out of the program, since he has to maintain a "C" average in all his normal classes. [[spoiler:Nick resorts to cheating on Vince's behalf and then tricking Vince into thinking that he took the final himself]].

* {{Determinator}}: Deconstructed. Whenever Michael suffers a defeat, he becomes obsessed with surpassing them. It was actually a point in his favor when admitted to the HCP. However, this obsession led him to become more violent and unstable, leading to his eventual expulsion.

* MasterofYourDomain: His power is complete control over his body on a molecular level. His father had the same power.

* SmartPeoplePlayChess: She has a regular chess game with Mr Numbers. She always loses but gets slightly better with every game.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: A staunch believer in this, pointing out that a class of Supers, who are sure of themselves, aren't going to have a lot of respect for a combat instructor, who hasn't shown he can beat them. He proceeds to do just that, [[CurbStompBattle KOing everyone in a matter of minutes]].

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Following in George's example, he easily {{Curb Stomp Battle}}s the entire Year 2 HCP class to show them he knows a thing or two about combat.

* ArmorPiercingSlap: More like a punch. Two actually. The first time, Vince really doesn't see it coming, since no one would expect this from someone like Camille (despite her extensive hand-to-hand combat training). The second time, he sees it coming but overrides his instinct to dodge the blow. Camille also makes no effort to fix the damage to his face afterwards.

* CarryABigStick: Roy picks a club as a WeaponOfChoice for his Weapons specialization classes. He explains his choice by the fact that he himself is a blunt instrument. It makes sense that his weapon would be one as well.

Hailing from Las Vegas, Nevada, Nick is the planner of the team. In the DistantEpilogue he's a senator.

* MoralityChain: The other Melbrook students, but Vince in particular, turn him from TheCynic into...slightly less of a cynic, but still a better person than he was before meeting them. When his memories of them are erased he goes back to being the cynical asshole he was at the start.

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Vince always believes in the best in everyone, even when they have proven to have anything but the best intentions. This unfaltering belief actually sways Nick into becoming a better person.

* WindsOfDestinyChange: Nick's powers are vaguely described as "luck", both good and bad. [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway Nick doesn't have much faith]] in the strength of his powers, though [[spoiler: Globe]] suggests [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower they're a lot stronger than he knows]]. Some of that is demonstrated near the end of ''Year 1'', where Nick turns his powers UpToEleven and [[spoiler:causes a truck speeding down a highway to experience every possible malfunction at once. The vehicle nearly falls apart into a thousand pieces]]. It is further confirmed in ''Year 3'', when [[spoiler: Globe uses an enhancer to ramp up Nick's power to beyond what his body could normally stand, revealing his ability to perceive the odds and probable consequences to every action, allowing him to choose the actions that yield precisely the result he wants]]
