Expendable Clone | |
| Atonement (Fanfic) / int_145babc0 | comment |
Expendable Clone: Pandora's clones start out this way since she can just reform them with spare biological matter—then Pandora-Prime, master of her Hive Mind, is killed off, which removes the "Expendable" part of it, as it prevents the remaining Pandoras from creating any more bodies—and if any existing ones are Killed Off for Real, they stay that way. Which is exactly what happens to Pandora-Eta and Pandora-Rho in Arc 27, courtesy of Hatchet Face. | |

Reformed, but Rejected | |

Reformed, but Rejected: Emma became Oversight to try to atone for her actions. When she met Madison for first time after her Heel Realization she tried to apologize, but Madison did not want to hear it. After a while she managed to forgive Emma, though. Taylor's father was not happy when he saw Emma, either. | |

Reality Ensues | |
| Atonement (Fanfic) / int_1d9a2764 | comment |
Reality Ensues: Sure, Tether's got a great reputation, but once word gets out about what she did to Taylor, a lot of people lose faith in her. As soon as it's revealed that Glaistig Uaine beat up the Simurgh because she'd prevented Madison from visiting her, a lot of people conclude that Madison and GU are lovers. During the third PHO interlude, a lot of users call for various members of the Protectorate to be arrested or sued for child endangerment, because the Wards, aka children, have had to fight off the Slaughterhouse Nine and others, have been forced to kill, and have been subjected to a lot of horrible things. Vista has spent years as a Ward, meaning that her life has been focused on fighting villains and working with her teammates, and as a result, she has no friends outside the Wards and cannot relate to others around her age. Her interlude shows that her so-called 'vacation' is terrible for her because she has nothing to do, nobody to talk to and yet she's supposed to be having fun (the author explicitly compared her situation to raising an animal in captivity, then putting it back in the wild for a few weeks and expecting it to fit in with and resemble one of the wild animals). Coil's attempt to frame Danny Hebert as Coil works pretty well, but it's not a perfect job because Coil is very rich and well-connected, while Danny was perpetually broke. It's not solid evidence, but it's enough to make Armsmaster suspect. | |

Voluntary Shapeshifting | |
| Atonement (Fanfic) / int_1fb440a6 | comment |
Pandora gets Voluntary Shapeshifting cranked up to its Logical Extreme and then some, an extremely strong Healing Factor that allows her to walk off any wound short of Boom, Headshot!, self-cloning, Power Copying, Super Strength, and a slew of miscellaneous minor abilities and Required Secondary Powers. | |

Cute and Psycho: Bonesaw, even moreso than in canon—it's helped along by the fact that the readers see her experiments in a lot more detail than in canon, and Madison is a lot more squeamish than Taylor. Riley gradually outgrows this trope with the power of Character Development as time passes. | |

PlayedStraight | |
| Atonement (Fanfic) / int_225d4412 | comment |
Played Straight by Emma and Sophia, who never actually face any punishment for accidentally killing Taylor—Madison at least gets a good deal of community service as punishment. It's later Zig-Zagged by Emma later on, who feels utterly worthless for what she's done (and still suffers from crippling self-esteem issues as a result even many story arcs later) but never actually gets any corporeal punishment. | |

Only Sane Man | |
| Atonement (Fanfic) / int_24321e44 | comment |
Calling Laserdream/Crystal a major character would be stretching it, but she definitely puts in a lot more appearances then in Worm, and actually gets some characterization as New Wave's Only Sane Man. | |

Walking Spoiler | |
| Atonement (Fanfic) / int_2504772e | comment |
Walking Spoiler: At her introduction, Pandora spoils a lot of what's been going down for the fic's first few arcs, and details about her continue to serve as spoilers for quite a few arcs to come. Then it's revealed that Pandora-Prime is still alive, and has gained none of the morality and/or conscience of any of her clones. Defiant as well, to the point that until recently every single detail about him was covered by spoiler tape. | |

Cruel to Be Kind | |
| Atonement (Fanfic) / int_25c7b33a | comment |
Cruel to Be Kind: Dinah forced Emma to relive all happy memories she shared with Taylor and all times she had bullied her ex-best friend before leading to Taylor's locker and force her to admit aloud that she had killed her best friend. It was very harsh but it helped Emma to finally face reality and starting atoning for her sins. | |

Break the Haughty: Madison accidentally caused the death of a girl she had been bullying for over one year and was abandoned by her friends—who in turn started bullying her. To Emma. Her bullying led to her best friend's death and she did not—or want to—get it. She lost one of her friends and the remaining broke off with her and she did not get it yet. So that Dinah resorted to break her psychologically. | |

Thou Shalt Not Kill: As part of a peace agreement with Dinah, Pandora refuses to kill innocents. Madison and Cassie discuss this trope when they're interrogating a Slaughterhouse Nine cultist. Cassie asks why they can't just kill them (To be fair, the cultists as a whole are established as being utter bastards), while Madison responds that not killing the villains is what makes them better than said villains. | |

Cursed With Awesome: Ruin's power. Her voice creates a Wave-Motion Gun whenever she so much as produces a whisper, and she has no control over it. In fact, her trigger event killed an entire mall full of people, including her mother. She's underwent training courtesy of Glaistig Uaine to minimize any possible noise she might create, but still struggles from a great deal of angst over her condition. | |

Character Development | |
| Atonement (Fanfic) / int_3b113b7 | comment |
Character Development: There's a lot of it, going along with The Atoner moments mentioned above. Madison stands up to Sophia and Emma and grows out of her shallow popular-girl tendencies—most notably, when she stops disregarding Missy and Mika's opinions just because the latter two are younger. Victoria loses some of her infamous Hair-Trigger Temper, loses her Black-and-White Morality, and manages to become a surprisingly competent leader for the Brockton Bay Wards. Unfortunately, she's Killed Off for Real by Anubis shortly after she manages to achieve all of this. Cassie manages to outgrow her racist upbringing, stop being such an asshole for no legitimate reason, and learn to trust and work with others. She remains a Deadpan Snarker, though. Amy moves out from under her sister's shadow, grows a spine, and drifts away from her pointless Actual Pacifist tendencies to become a much more useful Combat Medic. Theo stops being a Shrinking Violet Extreme Doormat, becomes a lot more assertive and out-spoken, and develops from a pudgy out-of-shape kid into a competent Gadgeteer Genius who's more muscle than fat. The various Pandoras literally starting developing individual characters, along with slowly learning the basics of morality and human social interaction. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle | |
| Atonement (Fanfic) / int_3d699462 | comment |
Curb-Stomp Battle: Glastig Uaine kills everyone in the Birdcage who worked for Teacher while the heroes were confronting him. Without hurting the PRT people keeping an eye on them. With such trivial ease that no one realizes that there was a fight until she mentions she killed them. Turns out she used a Stranger power to make everyone she wasn't killing not notice her. Ruin vs Horde. Two words, and the Slaughterhouse Nine member dies with no chance to fight back. Glastig Uaine vs the Simurgh. Ziz ends up running away after the Fairy Queen whips out a precog negator and starts blasting away with a Wave-Motion Gun. After arriving at Dragon's base, Armsmaster takes down Saint's remaining mercenaries with a single blast, then tears apart the two remaining Dragonslayer suits without taking a single hit or hurting the occupants. | |

Death by Adaptation | |
| Atonement (Fanfic) / int_48c99e19 | comment |
Death by Adaptation: Several, given For Want of a Nail. Brandish manages to survive all the way through canon (no mean feat). Here, she dies fighting Leviathan, resulting in New Wave breaking up. In canon, Glory Girl survives to narrate Worm's sequel. Here, she dies fighting the fourth Endbringer, Anubis. Cherish's canon fate is ambiguous (but nasty). Here, she's Killed Offscreen by Jack rather than joining the Slaughterhouse Nine, as Jack didn't have Bonesaw to upgrade the Nine against her powers. | |

| Atonement (Fanfic) / int_4920f624 | comment |
For a while, Defiant plays this role, though he's initially more of a Hidden Villain, and by the time readers see him as he truly is, he's been revealed as The Dragon to Teacher. | |

Powers in the First Episode | |

Powers in the First Episode: In the first episode Madison feels so guilty about Taylor's death that she triggers and gains the power to connect any two non-living objects and then pull them together or push them apart. | |

Break the Cutie | |
| Atonement (Fanfic) / int_4b316d47 | comment |
Break the Cutie: Coil tries to do this to Madison by blackmailing Sophia into killing Mads' parents, but all it does is get Madison angry enough to come after and take him down. Later on, Jack Slash tries to perform a combined one on Madison, Dinah, and Riley by confronting them with their past mistakes and having Hatchet Face kill two of the Pandora's, but all three manage to resist him. | |

The Atoner | |
| Atonement (Fanfic) / int_4ef92d0b | comment |
The Atoner: A whole lot of them. As the title of the fanfic will tell you, it's sorta the Central Theme. Examples: Madison herself trying to atone for her role in Taylor's death is the premise. Most of the other heroes forgive her pretty quickly, given all the good she's done since becoming a hero. Purity/Penance and Rune/Reach both pull Heel Face Turns and try to atone after the destruction of Empire Eighty-Eight. Nowadays, it's almost hard to remember they were ever villains. Dinah manages to talk down Bonesaw/Riley into doing this. By the time the Nine come into town, she's solidly in "hero" territory. Ruin/Hunter thinks she's this. No one but her thinks she has anything to atone for. After triggering and coming to terms with the things she's done, Emma becomes this, trying her hardest to help out Dinah and see her plan for the future to completion. | |

Fights Like a Normal | |
| Atonement (Fanfic) / int_529a3369 | comment |
Fights Like a Normal: Ruin's power is potentially story-breaking when used right, but she hates using it unless it's absolutely necessary. Even without it, she's still an incredibly capable fighter—during the Birdcage riot, Madison notices her taking down a fellow Birdcage inmate with nothing but her feet and fists. | |

Not His Sled: Despite the premise of the story (Taylor dies and so causes Madison to become a better person), Madison eventually catches a glimpse of a dark-haired girl controlling a swarm of insects early on. Sound familiar? It's actually Pandora, transforming her biomass into said swarm, not a Taylor that managed to somehow cheat death by triggering in the locker, as some other fics have done. | |

Combat Medic | |
| Atonement (Fanfic) / int_5fff364d | comment |
Combat Medic: Panacea starts out as a straight Medic, much like in canon, but Character Development eventually makes her into this, most notably when she converts the sweat on an ABB goon who's holding her hostage into sleeping gas to knock out his buddies and buy some time for the Wards in Arc 21, and when she kills Crawler by reversing his Adaptive Ability to attack his own body in Arc 26. | |

Zombie Apocalypse: What Anubis does. Instead of fighting, he floats around raising the dead. Every dead creature he raises can infect others, any living person who enters an area he's been will turn into a zombie if they're killed for up to three months, and the area where he's been will always turn anything that dies there into zombies. | |

Krouse, on the other hand, never sets any lines, and will do anything to save Noelle. Anything. At. All. | |

Breaking the Fellowship | |
| Atonement (Fanfic) / int_67d0342c | comment |
Breaking the Fellowship: Several examples. Madison breaks off from Emma and Sophia following Taylor's death in the locker. New Wave doesn't survive the death of Brandish, with its members either retiring from hero work or joining the Protectorate. It's a rather twisted example, but the Slaughterhouse Nine doesn't survive its visit to Brockton Bay. Bonesaw and the Siberian left beforehand (Bonesaw pulled a Heel–Face Turn, Manton left to look for her and got captured by Faultline's crew), and every other member except Mannequin and Burnscar (who end up joining Coil) die while they're there. | |

Alternate Universe | |
| Atonement (Fanfic) / int_8430699a | comment |
Alternate Universe: Atonement is primarily a What If? fanfic, but this trope also pops up from time to time. Madison, Emma and Danny are parahumans. Aisha and Theo trigger earlier, and with different powers. Aisha also gets a second trigger later on. Noelle's cloning powers are used by Coil twice in the early story, resulting in the creation of Pandora and Defiant. The fourth Endbringer appears a lot earlier, and rather than Khonsu, it's an original one, codename Anubis, who radiates a fear aura and can Animate Dead. Cherish never joins the Slaughterhouse Nine (since Bonesaw left beforehand), but Valefor and original character Horde do. Kaiser had an illegitimate daughter no one knows about, who goes on the become the supervillain Clepsydra. | |

Riley deconstructs this trope. Many people want her to reform for her actions as Bonesaw, despite all the good she's been doing after her Heel–Face Turn, and she suffers from a lot of angst over it.

Asshole Victim | |
| Atonement (Fanfic) / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim: Quite a few of them: The Merchants as a whole end up subject to this courtesy of Pandora, who systematically wipes them out not long after being "born"—by the mid-teen arcs, they're more-or-less a non-factor in Brockton Bay's crime hierarchy. Hatchet Face. Normally a man being melted alive is horrific. When he's a member of the Slaughterhouse Nine it's awesome. Marquis might have been a Noble Demon and generally a Doting Parent to Amy, but there's no denying the fact that he's a terrible person who's committed tons of crimes and killed lots of people, which makes his death during a fight with Crawler somewhat less sad. | |

Take a Third Option | |

In Arc 7, when he gets tired of her saving all of the capes fighting him, Leviathan forces Madison into one of these, requiring her to choose between saving a group of civilians (which include her parents) that are trapped in a flooding shelter, or protecting a group of unsuspecting heroes (which include her best friend and girlfriend) that Leviathan is about to attack. Fortunately, Pandora makes the choice for her by executing a Big Damn Heroes and saving the civilians while Madison protects the capes. | |

Big Bad: Coil takes on this role in the early arcs, until an Enemy Mine between the Wards, Travelers, and Undersiders takes him down. When the Nine attack, he escapes and starts re-building his empire, but has yet to make any major moves. For a while, Defiant plays this role, though he's initially more of a Hidden Villain, and by the time readers see him as he truly is, he's been revealed as The Dragon to Teacher. | |

Superpower Lottery | |
| Atonement (Fanfic) / int_99779e5a | comment |
Super Power Lottery: Pandora gets Voluntary Shapeshifting cranked up to its Logical Extreme and then some, an extremely strong Healing Factor that allows her to walk off any wound short of Boom, Headshot!, self-cloning, Power Copying, Super Strength, and a slew of miscellaneous minor abilities and Required Secondary Powers. Aisha is a borderline case—her paralyzing touch can be removed simply by touching the victim, but other than that, there's no way of removing it, and it lasts indefinitely otherwise, and unlike Dennis' similar ability, it doesn't make the target Nigh-Invulnerable for the duration, which bites Leviathan in the ass when Aisha gets the bright idea of using it on him. Aisha wins the lottery full-scale when she second-triggers, retaining her freezing power while also gaining the ability to assume the forms and powers of capes who have died since she's used her power on them. Emma inherits Taylor's administrator shard, except she controls machines instead of insects. If you've read Worm in its entirety, that alone should tell you how powerful she is, and Madison happily refers to Emma's power as "complete BS." | |

Ascended Extra | |
| Atonement (Fanfic) / int_a65288e2 | comment |
Ascended Extra: Madison was an extremely minor character in the original story, having little-to-no characterization aside of being a Number Two to Emma and Sophia. Rune was a largely one-off villain and member of E88, while here she not only has an actual name (Cassie Herren), but she gets to make a Heel–Face Turn and join the Wards. Calling Laserdream/Crystal a major character would be stretching it, but she definitely puts in a lot more appearances then in Worm, and actually gets some characterization as New Wave's Only Sane Man. | |

Karma Houdini | |
| Atonement (Fanfic) / int_a70223 | comment |
Karma Houdini: Zig-Zagged by the villains Tether converts. Examples: Purity/Kayden and Rune/Cassie both get off pretty lightly, considering they're formerly members of Empire Eighty-Eight, but Kayden did help the Protectorate stop Coil, and Cassie is still just a teenager. Riley deconstructs this trope. Many people want her to reform for her actions as Bonesaw, despite all the good she's been doing after her Heel–Face Turn, and she suffers from a lot of angst over it. Most of the criticism goes away after she helps Madison kill Jack Slash, but it never fades entirely. Played Straight by Emma and Sophia, who never actually face any punishment for accidentally killing Taylor—Madison at least gets a good deal of community service as punishment. It's later Zig-Zagged by Emma later on, who feels utterly worthless for what she's done (and still suffers from crippling self-esteem issues as a result even many story arcs later) but never actually gets any corporeal punishment. | |

In Arc 7, when he gets tired of her saving all of the capes fighting him, Leviathan forces Madison into one of these, requiring her to choose between saving a group of civilians (which include her parents) that are trapped in a flooding shelter, or protecting a group of unsuspecting heroes (which include her best friend and girlfriend) that Leviathan is about to attack. Fortunately, Pandora makes the choice for her by executing a Big Damn Heroes and saving the civilians while Madison protects the capes. In Arc 12, Defiant hits Madison with one, forcing her to choose between going into the Birdcage or allowing the explosive device he's rigged up to destroy a city block's worth of people. Madison chooses to go the Birdcage, though she's able to get out thanks to Emma's intervention in the following arc. | |

Show Within a Show: Madison and Dennis bond over a book series called Seventh Reach early on. The books stay in the background for the most part, to the extent that no information about the series beyond its title is revealed to the audience until 15.5 when Dennis complains that the film adaptation's casting choices are completely unfaithful to the original work. | |

Pandora zigzags this trope. She's able to avoid going crazy by using her brain-absorbing ability to rewrite her mind and erase the conditioning, but in the process loses nearly all social function and gains a good deal of Blue-and-Orange Morality. She's working on this, but still struggles to function socially. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Atonement (Fanfic) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Many shout-outs to Spider-Man, thanks to Madison's very similar powers. Commentators on the fic haven't ignored said similarities. For just about any scene Jalopy is in, you can expect him to start playing a well-known song custom-fit for the occasion—anything from "Love is a Battlefield" by Pat Benatar (Making friends with Jess) to "Another One Bites The Dust" by Queen (Kicking the crap out of the very unfortunate Villain of the Week). As the Final Battle with Jack Slash is about to begin, Madison initiates by blowing down the doors to the room he's in with her power and shouting "Luuucy! You got some 'splainin to do!" | |

Unspoken Plan Guarantee | |
| Atonement (Fanfic) / int_c82e751f | comment |
Unspoken Plan Guarantee: Madison's plan to out Thomas Calvert as Coil. The chapter cuts from her saying she has one to her talking to Calvert about Coil, only to later reveal that this was a ploy to get Pandora (disguised as Dennis) close so she could confirm him having Coil's power, while Sundancer confines Coil to that timeline by burning down his house (where he would presumably be in the other timeline). | |

The Cavalry: Pandora is a fan of this trope, since her small army of clones and shared Hive Mind means she can be in lots of different places at once. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite work out during Arc 25, which gets Pandora-Eta and Pandora-Rho Killed Off for Real by Hatchet Face. | |

Action Girl: As in Worm canon, it's a World of Badass, with just as many capable girls as men, notable examples including Flechette, Battery, and Reach. Madison herself starts out as an Action Survivor, but with a little experience (and some Boxing Lessons for Superman) she graduates into this trope properly, fighting with (and winning against) heavyweights such as Lung and Jack Slash himself. | |

Affectionate Nickname: Madison's parents and Marissa all call her "Mads". Ethan calls her "Ewok", and Madison returns the favor for Marissa with "Mars".

Expy: To quote a commenter: "Spidermads, Spidermads, does whatever a Spidermads does." Many other characters end up in situations mirroring those from the Spider-Man mythos as well. Ironically, Armsmaster is the only one of the cast who's actually familiar with the Spiderman mythos, so he's the only one who really notices the similarites. | |

Cloning Blues: Poor, poor Defiant. He desperately wants to be his own person, but the brain conditioning that comes with being one of Echidna's clones causes him to do some nasty (not to mention crazy) things. Pandora zigzags this trope. She's able to avoid going crazy by using her brain-absorbing ability to rewrite her mind and erase the conditioning, but in the process loses nearly all social function and gains a good deal of Blue-and-Orange Morality. She's working on this, but still struggles to function socially. | |

Big Damn Heroes | |
| Atonement (Fanfic) / int_eb81c601 | comment |
Big Damn Heroes: During the Leviathan fight, Madison comes very close to getting squashed by Leviathan after she pisses him off enough, only for a Pandora who's recently acquired the power of Flight to swoop in (har har) and save her. The Brockton Bay Wards as a whole pull this off to save the pinned-down Maine Wards during the Anubis fight. When Tether and Reach are cornered by Horde's minions in Arc 27, Ruin appears out of nowhere and kills Horde, saving both girls in the process. Glastig Uaine shows up out of nowhere and drives off the Simurgh when she attacks Brockton Bay while the core cast is off-planet in Interlude 30. Armsmaster arrives at Dragon's base just as Saint has taken down Tether and defeats him effortlessly | |
