comment
Internalized Categorism: Moonlight Shaman sees herself as a monster for the mass carnage she delivers to Seoul, despite being raised as a Tyke Bomb and controlled by a cult and curse to do such. Gukppong youtubers run into an issue after one of Egostic’s terror attacks that they can’t find clips of foreigners praising South Korea, due to the fact seven million South Koreans aided in one of Egostic’s terror schemes tarnished their image, and many Koreans feel guilty about that besides. Of course, Gukppong runs on perceived cultural hierarchies in the first place.

Likes Clark Kent, Hates Superman: Stardus is afraid of her friend Chaeyun expressing this feeling, considering she’s part of Egostic’s Mango Union fanclub. Da-in hires a destitute reporter to make anti-egostic content to help turn around public opinion about him in Korea. She is very grateful, but doesn’t know it’s being done by the very person she passionately raves against.

Villains Act, Heroes React: This is part of why Egostic chooses to become a supervillain, to have agency instead of being leashed by the Hero Association. It doesn’t help that Stardus isn’t the investigative type, and so is always being led around by others, be it the association or Egostic.

The International Association is synonymous with the American branch.

Egostic becomes very popular, due to a combination of showmanship, preventing civilian casualties, and being willing to Shoot the Dog by killing supervillains instead of putting them into Cardboard Prison. This is seen as a problem by him, as he wants to boost and not worsen the reputation of Stardus.

Lampshade Hanging: The fact that superpowers work so well when unleashed in the form of punching baffles multiple people. Egostic thinks to himself, it’s because it’s a superhero comic universe, and so Rule of Cool is built into things. Mist making fun of Egostic for mumbling to himself lampshades the lengthy Inner Monologue segments the writer gives Egostic and Stardus.

Thou Shalt Not Kill
 I Became the Villain the Hero Is Obsessed With / int_2f94135c
comment
Thou Shalt Not Kill: One of the biggest differences between Egostic and Stardus is her belief in this, which is also part of several Contemplate Our Navels sequences where she wonders if he’s a hero or villain for killing Person of Mass Destruction supervillains. Apparently she killed multiple supervillains in the comic though.

Hero with Bad Publicity: Egostic notes in the comics that Stardus had a big problem with this later in the story due to villainous schemes. An argument Egostic has with her in public has the effect of negative publicity for her, which Egostic takes measures to remedy.

Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work: One of the main reasons Egostic is a Super Villain is so that he can Shoot the Dog without having to worry about being Slave to PR like the heroes are. He will kill supervillains who can’t be redeemed before they get a chance to commit their worst crimes. Something Stardus really struggles with him doing, waffling back and fourth on the issue.

Hostage Situation: The standard means of villains preventing superhero intervention. Specifically used by Egostic because he knows he can’t defeat Stardus on his own and has to keep her at bay. But his hostage situations are essentially fake, he makes sure no matter what happens that they don’t die.

Villain with Good Publicity
 I Became the Villain the Hero Is Obsessed With / int_87bb6874
comment
Villain with Good Publicity: The Han-Eun MegaCorp manage to keep good public relations until one of their lab experiments escapes and they evacuate Korea. Egostic becomes very popular, due to a combination of showmanship, preventing civilian casualties, and being willing to Shoot the Dog by killing supervillains instead of putting them into Cardboard Prison. This is seen as a problem by him, as he wants to boost and not worsen the reputation of Stardus.

This leaves Egostic exasperated several times, when things happen like an entertainment reporter screaming about how Egostic and Stardus are true love, or some of his hostages being a Fangirl van asking for his autographs.

Homage: Generally speaking, the prevalence of the Incredibly Lame Pun is this to superhero comics. Ego explicitly bases his first terror attack on the climactic scene of The Dark Knight, with Arc Words of Egostic saying how Stardus “completes him�. This would be at least manageable to re-write into Light Novel form to avoid copyright issues, something that can’t be said about many Super Hero based Web Novel contemporaries. Seo-eun’s Starbuster Mini-Mecha armor series is clearly based on the Iron Man Hulkbuster suits.

To Be Lawful or Good: Stardus struggles with this all the time, since when left on her own, she hates vigilantes and killing. But her intuition superpower and emotional attachment to Egostic go counter to this. Eventually trauma breaks her down to the point of Double Think on the subject.

Sadistic Choice: A number of Egostic’s terror attacks are based on these, accurately counting on Stardus to Take a Third Option before faking a Villainous Breakdown. The first is ripped from The Dark Knight, and the second is the famous Trolley Dilemma. The bridge one is a unique take of asking Koreans to take an offer of free money, and if enough take it, he’ll blow up the bridge. Which ends up hurting South Korea’s reputation abroad, to the public’s chagrin.

Her lack of guile leaves her just reacting to Egostic, to her frustration. Meanwhile, other villains who would have given her the slip in the comic are dealt with by him, so she doesn’t develop the practical or emotional skills to cope with a recurring villain.

Even before any talk of this, it’s noted that countries are reluctant to send their heroes across borders for fear of talent poaching.

Misery Builds Character: Egostic repeatedly thinks to himself how, both mentally and physically the superheroes in the story need challenges to grow, and using his foreknowledge, he surgically removes the most disproportionate causes of suffering (like people Stuffed into the Fridge). He nearly changes his mind at the last minute when leaving Stardus to fight Moonlight Shaman, his resolve being broken by seeing her cry.

During the Bridge terror incident, Egostic uses his teleportation power to fetch sweet bread for a hungry hostage.

comment
Standard Super-Hero Setting: The setting is generic enough, and there are enough references to the status quo in America and how that differs from Korea, one could easily imagine this taking place in the DC or Marvel universes.
