Ironic Name | |
| Captain Freedom / int_23781532 | comment |
Ironic Name: Captain Freedom's real name is "Tzadik", which means "righteous" in Hebrew. There is nothing particularly righteous about him. | |

Camp Straight | |
| Captain Freedom / int_27c09b00 | comment |
Camp Straight: Captain Freedom lives with other guys, can't seem to hold down a relationship with a woman, and is obsessed with fashion, leading to many people speculating about his sexuality. He finally comes out as metrosexual. | |

Ambiguously Jewish | |
| Captain Freedom / int_2be15316 | comment |
Ambiguously Jewish: Despite being named Tzadik Friedman and growing up on a kibbutz, Captain Freedom doesn't realize that he's Jewish until sometime in his thirties. It's not entirely clear what religion he followed up until that point. | |

Jewish Mother | |
| Captain Freedom / int_7130202a | comment |
Jewish Mother: Mrs. Friedman is very much this trope. She is inadvertently responsible for Tzadik being promoted to a full-blown superhero after she showed up during one of his battles as Liberty Bill to nag him, causing him to be distracted long enough that Chief Justice got killed off. | |

Protagonist-Centered Morality | |
| Captain Freedom / int_89434320 | comment |
Protagonist-Centered Morality: Very much in play. Though Captain Freedom is nominally a hero, his profound need for attention and desire for money and power cause him to engage in outright criminal behavior. | |

Digital Piracy Is Evil | |
| Captain Freedom / int_a0cf200f | comment |
Digital Piracy Is Evil: One section of the book involves Captain Freedom and DJ hunting down digital pirates to stop them from pirating his movie. The digital pirates operate much like normal pirates, although as Freedom learns, they don't talk like stereotypical pirates. | |
