Tropaholics Anonymous: Excelsior basically functions as one of these, with suiting up or using your powers being the equivalent of "falling off the wagon".

C-List Fodder: Played with. The entire team is made up of characters nobody else was using, and Darkhawk and Mattie nearly get killed by Nekra Sinclair, one of Spider-Woman's old enemies.

Good Thing You Can Heal: Julie gets brutally stabbed by Hollow and ends up in the hospital, which is not good for her because she doesn't want her family to know what she's up to. Luckily, she manages to heal quickly enough to flee before her family is contacted.

Bleached Underpants: The mini-series glosses over the less kid-friendly aspects of Mattie's backstory, like the fact that the guy who harvested her for Mutant Growth Hormone was her ex-boyfriend.
