comment
Irredeemable is a Comic Book series written by Mark Waid, with art by Peter Krause and Diego Barretto.The Plutonian was Earth's champion, its first superhero, the most admired and trusted of his kind, our savior... but something has gone terribly, terribly wrong. Seemingly without reason, the Plutonian has begun to wage war on humanity, killing indiscriminately, annihilating entire cities and going overnight from the planet's greatest hero to its bloodiest mass murderer. A group of former friends and fellow superheroes, having narrowly escaped the Plutonian's ruthless and swift butchering of the superhero community, are determined to find a way to stop him; however, the Plutonian guarded his identity — and most importantly, his weaknesses — zealously, leaving them only with a few scraps of information to follow in order to find out why the Plutonian has turned his back on his former ideals — and how to defeat him...Another title in the same universe, Incorruptible, began in December 2009. Its plot is the obverse of Irredeemable: as a result of the Plutonian's rampage, supervillain Max Damage has an epiphany and decides to undergo a Heel–Face Turn. Both titles ended in 2012 at Issues #37 and #30 respectively.In May 2016, news came that 20th Century Fox got the rights to a film adaptation. The adaptation was supposed to be directed by Adam McKay (The Big Short and Anchorman), but Disney's buyout of 20th Century Fox put the film in Development Hell. In 2022, it was announced that Netflix would be adapting both Irredeemable and Incorruptible alongside The Harder They Fall (2021) director Jeymes Samuel.

Strong as They Need to Be: Deconstructed. The Plutonian's only real super-power is warping reality and violating the laws of physics. He's as strong as he needs to be because he re-writes the universe to make himself that way.

Darker and Edgier: Not in the sense that it's more pessimistic than Irredeemable (which is definitely not a sunshine and rainbows kind of story) but it has a much more "gritty" tone, with villains modeled on Neo-Nazis and magicians who power their spells with Villainous Incest. Plus, the unfortunate codenames of Max Damage's sidekicks (Jailbait, Headcase, Safeword, Hatecrime) are practically a Running Gag.

comment
Gone Horribly Right: Dr. Seabrook's constant nagging at the Paradigm for not sharing alien technology with humanity eventually leads to the Plutonian giving him what seems to be a harmless piece of alien tech... which ended up destroying Dr. Seabrook's lab and unleashing a deadly virus. Bill Hartigan told Plutonian when he was younger to not use his powers for self-serving purposes. This backfires when Tony reveals that Bill's wife has cancer and by that point, it was terminal. He could've revealed it sooner, when it could've still been successfully treated, but Tony took the teaching too literally. Bill would later kill himself and his wife out of remorse.

Poor Communication Kills: This trope defines the series, with the heroes poor communication with each other often causing death and destruction. Bette Noir does not tell her team about the magic candle that could potentially kill Tony, leading to millions of people dying. Gilgamesh doesn't tell his team that he will kill Cary to transfer his powers to Elliot, while Scylla doesn't explain that Cary is the source of their powers.

comment
Crapsack World: While it may not have been so bad before the Plutonian went rogue, the world's governments and economy are crippled as he's constantly murdering anyone who opposes him and smashing buildings, not to mention what he did to Singapore. The rampage never stops so the world can't recover from anything he does. People are defenseless and terrified, and suicide has become commonplace. This is explored more in Incorruptible than the main series.

Kryptonite Factor
 Irredeemable (Comic Book) / int_22ecc839
comment
Kryptonite Factor: The Candle of the Nahru Visna is the only thing that can make the Plutonian vulnerable. Bette Noir made a little bit of its wax into a bullet in case Tony ever went rogue. The Plutonian is vulnerable to a specific form of radiation. Played with since it's still hard radiation and other species are as vulnerable to it as you'd expect, it just affects the Plutonian as well.

Even Evil Has Standards
 Irredeemable (Comic Book) / int_319e4a2f
comment
Even Evil Has Standards: Besides the standard enlightened self-interest angle he usually cites, Max seems to have hit this when he saw the Plutonian wipe out an entire city. Keep in mind, Max was on the verge of wiping the city out himself in a fit of depression about the drawbacks of his powers... but seeing the Plutonian actually doing it shook him to his core. In short, Max was on the receiving end of the treatment of a supervillain — the sort of thing he did before. It made him feel helpless and like a victim but also made him realize he could be better. Perhaps as a side "benefit", one of the reasons he was a supervillain in the first place was because his powers prevented him from being normal. Thus Plutonian's rampage let him experience that in a very real way.

Sorting Algorithm of Evil: As brief as it is, the Plutonian's Heel–Face Turn also shakes up the supervillain community who had once seen him as the ultimate "goody-two-shoes" and they're not sure if he's really going to be on their side. Surprisingly, he's not. As a result, most of the other supervillains of the Irredeemable verse have either reformed (Max Damage), laid low, or just quit altogether.

The World Is Not Ready: Tony makes the mistake of revealing to Alana his secret identity as the Plutonian, which only results in her revealing this to her co-workers and them almost revealing it to the world; it's implied that Plutonian's Dan Hartigan identity was like Superman's Clark Kent persona, meaning his only possibility of blending in and having a normal life. Superman argues that he is Clark Kent and that he would go insane if he had to be Superman all the timenote -as seen in Superman: The Animated Series-; the story takes this point and amplifies it to its logical, albeit monstrous, conclusion, which is Plutonian going insane for not being able to be Dan Hartigan (among other even more messed up things).

Batman Gambit: Qubit asks Plutonian to kill the Modeus-controlled Bette, knowing Modeus would then move into Qubit’s body -– which is exactly what Qubit wanted, so he could gain Modeus’s knowledge about the radiation that would soon cover the earth. And since Qubit had already armed his mind with psionic blockers, he could trap Modeus in his mind rather than Modeus taking over him.

Psychopathic Manchild: One possible interpretation for the Plutonian's need to be loved. It's especially apparent in his confrontation with one foster family that gave him up for accidentally injuring their baby brother and leaving him permanently brain-damaged.

comment
Blessed with Suck: Max's super-strength and invulnerability increase proportionally to how long he stays awake. However, he is just as susceptible to the mental effects of sleep deprivation and stimulant drugs as the rest of us, and will exhibit poor judgment as a result. He's also vulnerable for up to a full hour after waking up.

 Irredeemable (Comic Book) / int_3d4d3dc9
comment
Humans Are Bastards: The Plutonian's Sadistic Choices and mind games seems to be ultimately aimed at proving that. It also seems that he didn't kill most of his old teammates because he's striving to break them psychologically, for the same reason. And, as it turns out, he's a psychotic nutbag because his first human mother was. Had she not been so deeply disturbed, everything would have been fine.

The Ungrateful Bastard who complained of the bullet damage to his yacht, after Plutonian and Kaidan saved him from a pirate attack. This particular event made Plutonian seek solace in the silence of outer space for a few minutes, and then the alien sound virus strikes... True there's other Ungrateful Bastards as well, but this is the guy who caused him to lose it as the worst possible time.

Bittersweet Ending: In the end, the villains are all defeated and Plutonian gains his "redemption", but millions have died, including nearly all of Earth's heroes (the only ones that we know are still alive are Gilgamos, Kaidan, Qubit, and the fully reformed Max Damage), most of society has broken down (the only known civilization still standing in decent condition is Coalville, thanks to Max Damage), every survivor including the remaining heroes have lost someone they cared about deeply, and a warrior alien race pissed off at Earth and liable to invade in the future is one of several threats on the horizon that Earth is vulnerable to, especially with the Plutonian no longer around to protect them.

Honor Before Reason
 Irredeemable (Comic Book) / int_44fc28e8
comment
Honor Before Reason: Max Damage destroying most of his villain gear and ill-gotten loot as part of his Heel–Face Turn. Resources that would've been invaluable in fighting The Plutonian (the reason for the turn in the first place). He's invoking this trope intentionally, reasoning that he has to be perfect now, but he isn't sure how to do it. It's implied in places that he's not very good at this, as he may have killed another supervillain and definitely handed over some white supremacists over to the people they previously attacked. Another reason he might have done this is because he's smart enough to know that nobody would trust him if he still had all his weapons, after seeing that their Big Good turned on them. Irredeemable makes it pretty clear no-one had weapons capable of really hurting The Plutonian. Ultimately, the explanation for this trope is right there in the title. Max has to be Exactly What It Says on the Tin because he knows that if he doesn't do absolutely everything he can to be totally and utterly incorruptible, he'll either backslide or never be good enough to challenge the worst supervillain the world has ever known. Thus all the money and gadgets and vehicles have to go, since in his words it's all "blood money".

Would Hurt a Child
 Irredeemable (Comic Book) / int_479d4e5a
comment
Would Hurt a Child: Plutonian has no qualms with killing children. Not only is he introduced killing Hornet's family despite the pleas of his former colleague, but when he first snaps, the rest of his superhero team turn up to find he's welded shut the doors of a school so he can kill everyone inside, which he then does despite their efforts, claiming the children were no different from the ones who bullied him relentlessly as a child. The Vespans gloat about how they enjoy the painful gurgles when they force their breeding eggs down the throats of human children. Tony's first human mother and the one whose desire for a child forged him into a human body, to a horrifying extent. She poisoned her own child in a fit of insanity, and when presented with a Nigh-Invulnerable child, proceeded to reenact the crime out of guilt and madness until she was Driven to Suicide.

I Just Want to Be Normal
 Irredeemable (Comic Book) / int_4852f325
comment
I Just Want to Be Normal: One of the motives of both The Plutonian and Max Damage. The Plutonian because his powers made it impossible for him to have the same kind of stable life most people have, and Max because he loses most of his senses after being awake for a few hours. Ironically enough, Max's origin is revealed to be I Just Want to Be Special. He started out like a common criminal, but when actual super heroes (like the Plutonian) became part of everyday life, he realized it's pretty pointless being a criminal if you can't match their powers. One huge cash payment to a mad scientist later, he's the only surviving guinea pig of a Super-Soldier Serum and ended up being Blessed with Suck.

Sealed Evil in a Can: Keeps happening to the Plutonian, including interplanetary travel, a black hole, a sun, a Lotus-Eater Machine, and time travel. Played with in regards to Plutonian's parents. Personality wise, they're Sealed Good in a Can, but the Containment Field used to seal them is the evil; when the seal is broken, humanity is doomed by the unleashed radiation, but they gave Plutonian some needed disciplinary action.

All of the Other Reindeer: As a child, Plutonian was excluded from playing with other kids due to the pretty justified fear that he could accidentally hurt someone or cause other kinds of collateral damage. The isolation made him an easy target for bullies, and the one time he tried to stand up to one (to defend another kid no less) resulted in the bully dying from a simple shove.

Body Horror: To summon Orian, one has to read the magic word, upon which he crawls out through your mouth, killing you in the process. To make it worse, he doesn't have to, he just likes doing it. In the special, Kaidan explores her powers by summoning a Bakeneko. Its initial appearance is that of a ghostly giant cat with an Overly-Long Tongue, tumorous lumps on the left side of its head, and what appears to be an infestation of tendril-like giant parasitic worms, before briefly mimicking Kaidan herself, but with purple skin and a misshapen face. The child-killing sonic plague melts off children's flesh as it slowly kills them, turning them into agonized, still-moving, still-screaming (and therefore still infectious) skeletons for some time before they finally die.

comment
Disproportionate Retribution A representative of Singapore told the Plutonian his country was grateful to him. The Plutonian, however, recognized this to be a lie and responded by sinking the country into the sea. In a flashback from Alana Patel, before his Face–Heel Turn, the Plutonian warned his secret identity's coworkers of this when they discovered he was actually their coworker and almost broadcast it over live radio. They initially think it's not that big of a deal, but he points out to them that any one of his enemies would gladly torture, rape, and murder them and their families to find out any of his secrets. Several commit suicide afterward.

Superdickery: Deconstructed; a flashback describes the Plutonian's relationship with his girlfriend Alana (a Lois Lane Expy), which occurs in a similar fashion as Superman and Lois Lane's in the Silver Age of comics. Except when the Plutonian reveals his true identity, confidently expecting her to fall into his arms and agree to marry him, she freaks out about the sudden revelation of all the mind games he's been playing on her all this time and angrily breaks up with him. Plutonian... did not take it well. A major recurring plot thread in these flashbacks to the Plutonian's "good days" seems to be his frustration over how even though he lives in a classic super-hero universe type of setting, no-one reacts the way they did in the old comics.

Conveniently an Orphan: This trope is extremely common in superhero comics, keeping the heroes from having to explain things to their folks (Batman, Spider-Man, Iron Man, most X-Men, most of the Green Lanterns, just to name a few). Keeping with the series' tone, this is deconstructed and played for tragedy, as Plutonian spent most of his boyhood bounced around between unloving and heartless foster homes where everyone feared him for his powers, instilling him with a compulsive need to be loved by everyone as an adult.

"Eleos" sounds a lot like Elohim. This, of course, makes the Plutonian another kind of "fallen" character type.

Hollywood Density: "Half the pull of a black hole" is meaningless when we don't know how massive or how distant the black hole is. An average human could withstand all the pull of a small black hole even if it were close to them, and we all withstand the pull of mind-bogglingly massive black holes every day simply because they're very far away.

Muggle Foster Parents: Deconstructed. Having a foster son with a Superpower Lottery means no privacy and poses a threat to your other kids. Many of Plutonian’s foster parents are ultimately Driven to Suicide. And it’s no better for the child, who can hear everything their foster parents say, creating massive insecurity. Being bounced from home to home proves to be Tony’s Start of Darkness.

Zombie Apocalypse: The Sonic Plague liquefies children's flesh and animates their bones. The worst part is that it spreads like wildfire through the screams of the living. The Paradigm managed to stop it before it got out of control, but the damage was done and this tragedy forms part of The Last Straw that kicked off the Plutonian's Face–Heel Turn.

Plutonian has no qualms with killing children. Not only is he introduced killing Hornet's family despite the pleas of his former colleague, but when he first snaps, the rest of his superhero team turn up to find he's welded shut the doors of a school so he can kill everyone inside, which he then does despite their efforts, claiming the children were no different from the ones who bullied him relentlessly as a child.

Replacement Goldfish: Played with. Both Cary and his brother Scylla had crushes on Kaidan and she wound up dating Scylla. When Scylla was killed by the Plutonian and Cary left alive, Cary expected this to come into play so he and Kaidan would start dating, especially when he becomes The Survivor. It doesn't play out that way, especially when Kaidan discovers Scylla is still alive and begins searching for him. This might be one of the many reasons why Cary is deliberately avoiding finding out where his brother is.

Never Had Toys: In a variation Played for Drama, a flashback shows a young Plutionian being made by his foster father Bill Hartigan, in an act of Tough Love to mold him into a hero, to give all his Christmas presents away to charity as soon as he got them to show him how there were people with greater needs than his. It's clear that Bill's methods of teaching his adopted son selflessness and altruism and not allowing him to just be a normal kid every once in a while only added to the already long list of issues plaguing the boy.

Meaningful Name
 Irredeemable (Comic Book) / int_6bda9a30
comment
Meaningful Name Scylla and Charybdis, the legendary rock and a hard place; Scylla appears to be every inch the hero (this being the very reason Kaidan loves him instead of Cary), while Cary's descent since Scylla's death shows that he's lost any sense of propriety, not mentioning that Scylla is the name of a hideous monster in Roman and Greek literature. Plutonian's name has a couple of different ones. One meaning can be taken from how it's derived or associated with Pluto, the Roman god that is the Expy to the more well-known Greek god Hades, God of Death and Ruler of the Underworld. He's also as distant as can be from humanity in general (like the dwarf planet Pluto). Additionally, it's almost a homonym for plutonium, an element that can offer humanity great power but is incredibly dangerous if mishandled. Bette Noire sounds like a fun pulp-style name for an adventuress. In French, it's a colloquialism about a dangerous thing to be avoided at all costs. Bette contributes heavily to Tony's moral decay, but doesn't fully realize it until they visit his Fortress of Solitude. She also has little problem bedding him after he returns. "Eleos" sounds a lot like Elohim. This, of course, makes the Plutonian another kind of "fallen" character type.

My Greatest Failure
 Irredeemable (Comic Book) / int_6ee10e0
comment
My Greatest Failure: Before he went insane, the Plutonian gave a piece of alien technology to a mudslinging scientist to be adapted for the benefit of mankind, also giving him a signal device to call him in case anything went wrong. The device turned out to contain a sound-based virus that only killed children. The Plutonian and the Paradigm might have been able to stop it early on, but Tony was on the moon, enjoying ten minutes of silence from the constant cries for help that his super-hearing picks up. This not only rocketed him toward his Face–Heel Turn, but seemed to affect him even after he became a villain - he still keeps a (rather unsettling) memorial to the victims he failed to help in his Citadel.

Love Hungry: The Plutonian was this down to the core. Sure, he saved the world and helped people, but it was mainly because he wanted everyone to love him. He Can't Take Criticism whenever he made a mistake (or even if the person commenting was just a bitter jerkass), making him utterly terrified of failure. And when he does make a really bad one (which loses him his sidekick's trust), that is when he goes off the deep end.

Max Damage has this too. He gets stronger and more invulnerable in proportion to how long he's awake. The problem with this is that when he gets up in the morning, he only has one hour before his skin gets too tough to do simple things like feel, smell, or taste things. Most of the time he can only hear and see, with all his other senses being lost under his invulnerability. Played for Laughs when Jailbait tries to have sex with Max at the eve of his first hour awake (the moment when his powers kick in) leaving him with only half of his face shaved.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!
 Irredeemable (Comic Book) / int_7fbb2a3
comment
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero The alien sound virus tragedy was the Plutonian's fault, as he gave a piece of alien tech to a human scientist. Bette Noir could've stopped the Plutonian way early on by getting the bullet she made out of the Nahru Visna candle wax, which is the only object known to render him powerless. So why didn't she act sooner? Because she got that candle wax by going behind her husband's back with Tony. She let millions die to cover up a single act of infidelity. As of issue 31, Gilgamos gets this by Scylla's ghost after killing Cary. It turns out Cary was the source of the power he and his two brothers (they were actually triplets) wielded, and with Cary's death, the third brother Elliott, who Gilgamos thought would get all the power, loses his own.

Broken Pedestal: Oddly, the Plutonian's pedestal broke before he went crazy. After he made a crucial mistake in the field that left thousands of children dead and he initially lied about his role in this tragedy, his sidekick stopped trusting him. Knowing his closest friend couldn't look up to him the way he used to was one of the last straws. What made it worse was that the people from the lab (where he had turned over the alien device that led to the tragedy) went behind his back and told Samsara about it, claiming to be too afraid of him to do it themselves. Volt also sees the Plutonian as one. Plutonian helped him control his powers which allowed him to have a normal life. In a flashback, we see him trying to reason with Plutonian, only for Plutonian to rip his arm off.

Deconstruction
 Irredeemable (Comic Book) / int_8ae880f7
comment
Deconstruction: Plutonian is a standard deconstruction of Superman through an Expy, challenging the idea that someone given superpowers would automatically do the right thing without being emotionally prepared to handle the job and the concept of happily being a Slave to PR without actual regard for what people think. The finale puts a meta twist on this: when Qubit scatters Tony's essence throughout the multiverse in an attempt to give him his second chance, part of it helps inspire a pair of artists to create the first Superman comics. Thus, Superman is the reconstruction of the Plutonian. Irredeemable #25 also deconstructs the idea that powers like Superman's or Plutonian's could ever be physically possible without absolutely shattering the laws of physics, much less accomplished by a being with the mass of an ordinary human. Reconstructed — albeit horrifyingly, given the implications for what this means Tony could do if he realized it — by the revelation that he's actually altering reality itself, allowing him to sidestep physics altogether and do whatever he thinks he can. Issue #18 also serves as a deconstruction of the Badass Normal through the Hornet's flashbacks. He really did consider the Plutonian to be his best friend on the team, but he was all too aware of his lack of powers compared to his other superpowered teammates, giving him more reason to be on guard at all times. It just took one simple question to make him realize Tony would snap eventually, and he makes a deal with a genocidal alien empire as a contingency plan in case his worst fears did indeed come true. The Hornet hated that he had to make such a deal, but he was ultimately proven right, plus it did save humanity from being exterminated/enslaved by the Vespa aliens.

Superpower Lottery
 Irredeemable (Comic Book) / int_8fac4a3a
comment
Superpower Lottery: The Plutonian was the clear winner, which led to certain members of the Paradigm resenting him even before his Face–Heel Turn. While he acted humble during his time as a hero, he didn't mind gloating once he went evil. At one point, while killing Gazer, Tony remarks how he made him totally redundant, being able to do everything he could do but better. Turns out he "only" has Reality Warper powers — since he thinks he could win, he does. Charybdis/Survivor is another winner. How else would you describe someone who can fight off the Plutonian successfully?

Apocalypse How
 Irredeemable (Comic Book) / int_91e894b4
comment
Apocalypse How Starting somewhere between Societal Disruption or Collapse on a Regional or Continental-scale and Planetary-scale Civilization Disruption; Plutonian caused massive damage to the world, but humanity hadn't died out. Yet. Starting in issue #31, Engineered Extinction becomes probable. Australia and India have been hit with a massive wave of radiation; the total death count is roughly a third of humanity. Culminating in issue #34, where Qubit confirmed that life will be extinct in three generations, and his plans were not going well since the radiation was not behaving as he expected. It's ultimately averted at the final issue, but it's made clear Earth isn't out of the woods just yet. And hanging over the series after issue #25 is the knowledge that the Plutonian doesn't actually have super-strength/flight/heat vision/etc, but is really a Reality Warper — and he's only tapping into the most basic applications of his abilities. If he realized this and figured out how to use even the most elementary powers he's really capable of, all his destruction thus far could be child's play by comparison, very possibly even shattering reality itself. Thankfully, it's averted.

Corrupted Character Copy
 Irredeemable (Comic Book) / int_922ec657
comment
Corrupted Character Copy: The Plutonian asks the question of "what if Superman turned evil?". While he first appears to be a straight example of the Superman Substitute before his Face–Heel Turn, it's shown he has a lot more demons in his past than Superman ever had. He had a troubled childhood that psychologically damaged him compared to the Man Of Steel's Upbringing Makes the Hero (though it's no excuse for his actions), his powers proved somewhat of a hindrance, and his motive for heroism was less "wanting to do good things" and more "secretly Love Hungry and Can't Take Criticism".

Unwitting Instigator of Doom
 Irredeemable (Comic Book) / int_99ddfcec
comment
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: The Ungrateful Bastard who complained of the bullet damage to his yacht, after Plutonian and Kaidan saved him from a pirate attack. This particular event made Plutonian seek solace in the silence of outer space for a few minutes, and then the alien sound virus strikes... True there's other Ungrateful Bastards as well, but this is the guy who caused him to lose it as the worst possible time. The scientists who told Samsara where the sound virus came from. Because they were scared of Tony, they told Samsara where the virus really came from, causing him to lose faith in the Plutonian. Unfortunately, this turned out to be the figurative "last straw" that broke the camel's back for Plutonian. In a broad sense, Bill Hartigan's desire to help mold young Plutonian into a hero by teaching him to use his powers for good but putting so much emphasis on selflessness and failing to show him real love and stability ended up leading to Daniel's eventual breakdown and fall into villainy. Really, the whole world would have been a lot better off if Bill had let Daniel make his own decisions, even if it meant him never becoming a superhero.

Secret-Keeper: Subverted.

When he returns, he is Burning with Anger and rips into them over how their lives and those of anyone they care about are in danger simply for knowing his greatest secret. Most of them end up committing suicide because they can't live with the paranoia this creates.

Oh, Crap!
 Irredeemable (Comic Book) / int_ad1db87c
comment
Oh, Crap! In a dark twist of the classic line used for introducing Superman, Scylla screams "Look! Up in the sky!" when he sees the Plutonian has found them. Modeus gets this when he discovers that Plutonian knew he was inhabiting the body of Samasara the entire time. Modeus gets a teary one when Plutonian rejects him once again after a tender session of rape. Figures. And yet another when Qubit finally imprisons him in a mental cell after he tries to escape following Bette Noir's body's destruction by the Plutonian. Qubit gets one after learning Cary/Survivor's dark secret. Gilgamos (and everyone around him) gets one after killing Cary. The Plutonian gets one when he realizes Modeus possessed Cutter.

For the Evulz: But of course. This is the very reason the Eleos chose to punish the Plutonian, even though they show him that his meltdown was all but inevitable due to the circumstances of his creation; he is still completely responsible for his evil actions... they just showed him why he is evil.

Informed Flaw: We're frequently told that the Survivor is every bit as bad as the Plutonian and that trading one for the other is therefore no kind of solution. But while the Survivor is certainly a Jerkass and a Know-Nothing Know-It-All, we don't actually see any sign that he's about to start murdering millions like the Plutonian has.

Face–Heel Turn
 Irredeemable (Comic Book) / int_af3ea0e3
comment
The Plutonian was the clear winner, which led to certain members of the Paradigm resenting him even before his Face–Heel Turn. While he acted humble during his time as a hero, he didn't mind gloating once he went evil. At one point, while killing Gazer, Tony remarks how he made him totally redundant, being able to do everything he could do but better. Turns out he "only" has Reality Warper powers — since he thinks he could win, he does.

Abusive Parents
 Irredeemable (Comic Book) / int_b11ac9f5
comment
Abusive Parents: Bill Hartigan is a strange case in that while he (and by extension his wife, who was much more lenient) was the only foster parent who didn't reject or fear Tony's powers and did try to teach him responsibility and right from wrong, his methods were sometimes... questionable (if not downright extreme). One standout example is when the Hartigans got Tony all the presents he wanted that year for Christmas, and even gets to open them and see what he got. Upon thanking them for getting the presents, Bill then immediately tells Tony to wrap them back up and come with him to give them to homeless kids, not even allowing him to keep one. While not exactly actively cruel like most examples of the trope, it's apparent this way of "teaching" was common for Bill to do, meaning Tony was probably deprived of the things that would have helped him feel like a normal kid and might've even been the root of his perfectionist complex that added to his already long list of insecurities. And to add more salt to the wound, the next panel shows Tony listening in as his foster parents argue about the fact that the homeless kids did not even like or appreciate the presents that Tony had to grudgingly give away.

Take That!
 Irredeemable (Comic Book) / int_b53077b3
comment
Take That!: Just to make sure that no one misses the subtext, the first issue comes with a long essay about how comic fans saying mean things on the internet suck and will destroy comic heroes. The essay was written by Grant Morrison, not Mark Waid, and is not quite as simplistic as that. If anything, the subsequent issues since number one have indicated Morrison's reading of the point is a bit off from Waid's true intent. To elaborate, said essay wasn't saying anything about people talking on the Internet destroying heroes. Morrison was talking about people's opinions, the difficulties in changing them, and what a hero must have to do to become completely irredeemable. And how Waid showed him the script for the first two issues, after their discussion if the internauts will ever stop seeing him as a Silver Age Fanboy, a reputation Waid earned after Kingdom Come. This is justified in the text itself, in a flashback to one of the triggering events of the Plutonian's fall. After Plutonian has literally saved an entire stadium's worth of people from a bomb, he hears the cheers of almost everyone... except for one snotty jerk who calls him an 'underwear pervert...' a term coined by Warren Ellis and popularized by Cory Doctorow to protest the trademarking of the term super-hero. Here it comes across as the ultimate internet forum comment, only the Plutonian not only hears it, but in one sense hears it more clearly than all the praise.

The Alcatraz
 Irredeemable (Comic Book) / int_b905c10c
comment
The Alcatraz One of the Vespans' prison planets where Plutonian was performing hard labor uses a graviton well capable of generating half the pull of a black hole to keep its superpowered prisoners in line. The prison overseers make a tidy profit by housing such dangerous prisoners for people willing to pay for that security. The other prison planet is a planet housed inside of a star, with a force field keeping the inmates in and the sun out. It's also in the middle of nowhere. The caretakers/guards only enter and exit through a heavily guarded teleport facility at the center of the planet.

Power Nullifier: Sleep. He is vulnerable for roughly an hour after waking.

Max figured that, with all his powers, the Plutonian thought he'd never need to learn hand-to-hand combat. The Plutonian proved him wrong.

Sadistic Choice: During his destruction of Singapore, the Plutonian caught his former teammate Qubit, who tried to evacuate citizens. The Plutonian allowed him to pick ten whom he'd let escape... to painfully illustrate the answer to Qubit's question: "All that power, all that responsibility... what does that feel like?" He then incinerates every other Singaporean on the scene.

In the special, Kaidan explores her powers by summoning a Bakeneko. Its initial appearance is that of a ghostly giant cat with an Overly-Long Tongue, tumorous lumps on the left side of its head, and what appears to be an infestation of tendril-like giant parasitic worms, before briefly mimicking Kaidan herself, but with purple skin and a misshapen face.

Dead Sidekick: Samsara's not quite dead, but he's been lobotomized. The reason for this is that Samsara's power protects him from mortal harm and he thus can't be killed, so he had to be neutralized another way. And of course, the Plutonian did it himself to keep him from spilling the beans on his secrets.

Grand Theft Me: Modeus does this repeatedly via Brain Uploading, first to Samsara, later to his own robot duplicate and intermediary hosts, and then to Bette Noir. It's not clear if it's an innate power of his or something he needs assistance for. In one of the issues before Plutonian got captured and dumped on the prison world, it shows Modeus talking to Encanta in a supernatural dimension. It turns out that Modeus has moved past super-science and is now experimenting with sorcery. This backfires when he tries it on Qubit.

Shout-Out: Tony's tragic childhood is a shout-out to It's a Good Life. Lampshaded by Hornet. Compare: References to two of Volt's contemporaries: The Plutonian is put into a Lotus-Eater Machine, a clear reference to the classic Superman story For the Man Who Has Everything. In one scene, the US President wonders if maybe the Plutonian snapped because he had "one really bad day". The finale harkens to All-Star Superman as a pair of boys have a great new idea for a superhero◊, much like Superman trying to create a universe without a Superman ends up with someone creating a familiar superhero comic.

comment
The Reveal Prompts Romance: The Plutonian was going for this, except that his girlfriend became so upset that he had lied to her all this time that she immediately broke up with him (and revealed his secret to their coworkers). One of the main differences between him and Superman - Superman isn't the kind of Psychopathic Manchild who would naturally assume that Lois Lane would be thrilled about being lied to all those years. Empathy and maturity would have gone a long way in that delicate situation. Then again, Plutonian pursued his girlfriend by actually entering the radio station because of her; in Superman's case, Lois happened to work at The Daily Planet before any romance sprang, making Plutonian's case all the creepier.

Ironically enough, Max's origin is revealed to be I Just Want to Be Special.

One huge cash payment to a mad scientist later, he's the only surviving guinea pig of a Super-Soldier Serum and ended up being Blessed with Suck.

 Irredeemable (Comic Book) / int_d39e327f
comment
What the Hell, Hero? Bette Noire gets it particularly hard. After escaping a trap set up by the US army and a demonic bounty hunter, who revealed her secrets to her teammates, she meets up with her father and, desperate for some kind of support, comes clean with him. He then tells her that her inaction not only cost him everything he had, but also caused the deaths of the rest of their family at the Plutonian's hand. When she asks for forgiveness, he simply says "Not now". Survivor is furious with Qubit for foiling his plan to kill Plutonian. Survivor later tells a group of farmers that Qubit helped Plutonian get away, and they begin to physically attack him. Qubit calls Survivor out on giving murderous supervillains full pardons in exchange for help to clean Earth up when Cary should be looking for his Not Quite Dead brother instead. Survivor gives one to his and Scylla's retired and estranged third brother Elliot for not trying to help them stop Plutonian's rampage, or even use his powers to help others.

Wonder Twin Powers

comment
Wonder Twin Powers: Scylla and Charybdis are have something like this going on, where they're only super while close to one another. Except not really; this is a lie that they used to make Scylla feel better about simply siphoning his brother's power. After Scylla's death, Charybdis only faked being powerless to get to the Plutonian, who he felt he could handle with double his normal power.

The Chessmaster
 Irredeemable (Comic Book) / int_d62dd556
comment
The Chessmaster: Modeus. The Plutonian's arch-nemesis, and reportedly the only one he was scared of. Possibly the only one capable of finding a way to kill him. Disappeared a few years prior to the main story. Is now possessing/controlling the lobotomized sidekick, egging on the Plutonian on his rampage. Oh, and a Robot Double with his exact mental patterns has started making trouble on his own. And then in the body of one of the few people that Tony has non-homicidal emotions towards. Thankfully, he is outwitted in the end.

comment
All Girls Want Bad Boys: Kaidan knows that both Scylla and Charybdis are in love with her, but she chose to hook up with the brazen Scylla over Nice Guy Charybdis due to finding the latter's Shrinking Violet nature to be weak and cowardly. However when Charybdis increased in power and jerkassery after his brother was killed, she refuses to hook up with him when he puts the moves on her. Bette Noir is revealed to have cheated on her loving and supportive Nice Guy husband Gilgamos with the Plutonian. She admits she had always sensed there was a darker side to him that she found exciting, interesting and attractive, although once she experienced what that kind of man is like, she quickly regrets it. All of Max Damage's sidekicks seem to go this way although they're all crazy and probably don't represent the average girl.

Irredeemable #25 also deconstructs the idea that powers like Superman's or Plutonian's could ever be physically possible without absolutely shattering the laws of physics, much less accomplished by a being with the mass of an ordinary human. Reconstructed — albeit horrifyingly, given the implications for what this means Tony could do if he realized it — by the revelation that he's actually altering reality itself, allowing him to sidestep physics altogether and do whatever he thinks he can.

Somebody Doesn't Love Raymond: Played for Drama. The Plutonian has an intense, driving need to be loved by everyone around him and receives endless praise from being the world's greatest super-hero. But he's unable to get over the few people who don't shower him with praise, leading him to bitterly think that the entire population of Earth are nothing but selfish, ungrateful animals.

Morality Pet: Max adds Alana and Armadale to his posse to invoke this trope. And boy, does he need it — it is horrifyingly subverted by Jailbait and Headcase, both of whom do their cute girl best to drag Max back down (Jailbait is a sixteen-year-old he saved from sex slavery... who became a bloodthirsty adrenaline junkie and daily begged Max not to keep being heroic; meanwhile Headcase, after the murder of her whole family, has become a truly frightening Death Seeker Yandere who would kill anyone that threatens her warped worldview or her relationship to Max). He ultimately realizes that a Morality Pet isn't enough, and he resolves to be a better hero by being more open to other people in general.

Expy
 Irredeemable (Comic Book) / int_e5421161
comment
Plutonian's name has a couple of different ones. One meaning can be taken from how it's derived or associated with Pluto, the Roman god that is the Expy to the more well-known Greek god Hades, God of Death and Ruler of the Underworld. He's also as distant as can be from humanity in general (like the dwarf planet Pluto). Additionally, it's almost a homonym for plutonium, an element that can offer humanity great power but is incredibly dangerous if mishandled.

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished
 Irredeemable (Comic Book) / int_eb8f64a6
comment
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: What sets off the Plutonian's spiral to villainy was he gave a piece of alien technology to a scientist and Tony even checked the scientist's heartbeat to see if he was lying about using that technology for good purposes. While there's an ego reason behind it, there were some good intentions behind it. In fact, this happened pretty frequently to Tony. Two childhood flashbacks in particular illustrate this: One time, Tony tried to defend a girl he'd befriended from a bully. When he shoved the bully back, he accidentally killed the other boy. In another, Tony killed an abusive foster father in the hopes that it would make his foster mother love him. Instead, she was terrified and eventually committed suicide.

They were perhaps the only foster parents who genuinely accepted young Daniel's powers and loved him as their own, but Bill Hartigan's draconian attempts to teach his emotionally damaged teenage son responsibility and complete selflessness backfired in the worst possible ways for everyone down the road, himself included. Tony ultimately kept quiet about Mrs. Hartigan's lung cancer because the upbringing Bill subjected him to convinced him that saying something would've been self-serving.

Unskilled, but Strong: While practically a Physical God, the Plutonian turns out to have next to no hand-to-hand combat skill due to never really needing to learn how to fight. Weirdly, this is subverted in a story about him told by Max Damage, who says that he expected this when he caught the Plutonian in a field that nullified their powers... and got knocked onto his ass for his troubles. He could be exaggerating the story for effect, though, and might simply have been caught unaware by the fact that a depowered Plutonian was not totally incompetent. That, or Tony's Reality Warper powers were still in effect.

The Plutonian himself. Yes, he has roughly the powerset of Superman with almost no weaknesses and some extras. The only problem is that he cannot turn most of his powers off, and only control them by a constant effort of will. He is Made of Diamond, and even touching his hair can cut the hand of a normal person. He has tremendous Super-Strength, and because of a not-unfounded fear of accidentally splattering someone if he failed to measure exerted force just for a moment, he was never able to protect himself from bullying as a child or carry on any intimate relationships. And of course, his super-hearing forced him to know every ungrateful bastard's snide opinion about him. This gets especially interesting with the eventual reveal that the Plutonian is actually a Reality Warper who is subconsciously using his powers to appear to be a Flying Brick with Eye Beams and whatnot, so he's only really as strong as he believes himself to be. Nobody remarks upon it In-Universe, but it wouldn't be unreasonable to conclude all the negative attributes of his powers are his own martyr complex manifesting itself.

Who's Laughing Now?: This seems to be a major factor in the Plutonian's snap into madness. Flashbacks to his life as a hero show him to be very bad at dealing with critics, to the point that he often seemed to resent the people he felt obligated to save. In particular, the other supervillains are much less comfortable dealing with him once they know he has no trouble killing them.

The Plutonian suffered a huge case of this before he went nuts, constantly hearing, and feeling he had to answer, calls for help every minute of every day. After one particularly ungrateful victim was rescued, he got fed-up and took a ten minute break by flying to the moon, where there was no sound. During those ten minutes, a child-killing virus broke out, partly because he'd given a piece of alien technology to a human scientist. Even after his Face–Heel Turn, there are traces of this. He promised to listen to everyone, but nobody believed he meant that literally.

Brain Uploading: Modeus uploaded his brain into Samsara and then later into a robot copy of himself built by Qubit. In the final issues, he goes through a range of hosts to achieve his goals and prevent his own death.

Evil Is Petty: The Plutonian enjoys puppy-kicking on a personal level as much as his mass atrocities, largely to demonstrate the points that used to frustrate him so much.

Ephebophile: Max Damage likes 'em young: he met sidekick/girlfriend Jailbait in a brothel when she was fifteen and he somewhere between 30 and 40. She's sixteen when the series rolls around, but his Heel–Face Turn drove him to break up with her for a Jailbait Wait.

Talking Is a Free Action: Kaidan must tell a story to activate her powers. It is more of a snippet than a full story, but those couple of sentences are racing against drawn guns.

Pet the Dog

comment
Pet the Dog: Even after becoming a crazed, homicidal maniac with the end goal of bringing the world to its knees for not appreciating him enough, when the Plutonian finds out Samsara has survived his lobotomy with his brain functions intact, he at once becomes friendly and protective of his former sidekick again (even getting food for him by murdering owners of gas stations). Naturally, the series still manages to make this terrible as Samsara isn't really back, as he's just possessed by Modeus. Then it's revealed that the Plutonian knew it was Modeus all along; he was just playing along because he was amused by Modeus' crush on him. The sentiment's still there, as seen in the dream sequence example. Plutonian wants to reverse everything, but doesn't know how.
