Super-Intelligence: The faulty time machine that gives The Bad Guys superpowers also mutates the brain of Milton the velociraptor, turning him from an angry dinosaur into a cultured genius. He temporarily reverts back to his savage form after he is stripped of his powers at the end of "The Big Bad Wolf", but regains them by the end of "The Baddest Day Ever". | |

Cute Is Evil | |
| The Bad Guys / int_1c1d21c6 | comment |
Cute Is Evil: Dr. Rupert Marmalade, a billionaire mad scientist that also happens to be an adorable guinea pig. Despite being cute, he hates being called cute, to the point of using his scientific abilities to un-cutify anything else on the planet that's considered cute. It also turns out the guinea pig appearance is just a ruse, he's actually an alien that used it because he wouldn't be taken as seriously in it, though he was still considered "cute" by alien standards on his planet. Dr. Marmalade's first evil scheme in the series is to flat-out use cute animals as zombies. "Attack of the Zittens" turns all the kittens of the world into zombie kittens, while the end of the book returns the recently-cured kittens back to being zombies, and adds every puppy, bunny, pony, and dolphin into the mix. | |

| The Bad Guys / int_1c5599e4 | comment |
Reformed, but Rejected: Thanks to their original reputation, not many are willing to believe the main characters are actually good now, still thinking they're up to their bad ways, even with vouch from others. It takes a message sent from the moon in "Intergalactic Gas" right before turning off the Cute-Zilla ray to get the citizens to believe them. | |

Green-Eyed Monster: Mr. Snake's anger towards Agent Fox is purely because Mr. Wolf likes her, which he translates into Mr. Wolf liking her more than himself. He admits to his jealousy, which he feels like is keeping him from fully becoming a good guy. In "Superbad", it's Legs that ends up the jealous one, purely due to the fact that everyone else got superpowers thanks to a glitched time portal. | |

Piranha has trouble using his super speed without hurting himself, Shark has no idea how to control his shape shifting powers, Snake has the most handle on his psychic powers but is too distracted by the other two to focus, and Wolf is to embarrassed his super strength destroyed all his clothes to do anything. | |

Then Let Me Be Evil | |
| The Bad Guys / int_3d455888 | comment |
Then Let Me Be Evil: This is one of the reasons Mr. Snake insists that he can't be a true hero. He was seen as a bad guy to start, so he doesn't bother to change his reputation. This slowly starts to crack away throughout the series, as he becomes a truer hero. As of "Dawn of the Underlord", it turns out this change hasn't stuck, and he's actually worse off than when he was originally. "Superbad" reveals that the members of the The International League of Heroes were bad guys before they met each other, purely because others saw them like that to start, so they decided to fit the mold others saw them as. | |

Paper-Thin Disguise | |
| The Bad Guys / int_48b9731f | comment |
Paper-Thin Disguise: Mr. Shark's disguises are obvious to the audience, as he's a shark disguising as other animals or personas. Despite this, everyone else compliments his disguises. This would eventually be subverted in "The Bad Guys in Alien Vs Bad Guys", because Mr. Shark doesn't know what the females of Dr. Marmalade's alien species looks like, his disguise is readily foiled. In-universe, this is why Mr. Wolf never does his "old lady" disguise - because everyone sees right through it. | |

| The Bad Guys / int_57b74bd4 | comment |
Achievements in Ignorance: The gang's first series of schemes are just randomly thought out plans to "help" people who may not even want to be helped and are simply assumed to be suffering more than they really are. "Mission Unpluckable" has them continue this trend into freeing a bunch of chickens from a maximum security chicken coop without ever really suspecting it's actually an animal testing lab owned by a supervillain. | |

Zombie Apocalypse: �Attack of the Zittens� has Dr. Marmalade turning all the kittens into the world into zombie kittens, or “Zittens�. While unable to turn others into zombies with a bite, they’ll still try to eat others. At the end of the same book, once defeated, Dr. Marmalade ends up zapping the entire earth, which turns every single kitten, puppy, pony, bunny, and dolphin in the world into a zombie. This sets up the plot of the book “Intergalactic Gas�. | |

Heel–Face Turn: The four main characters’ plot starts when they attempt to go through one, Mr. Wolf in earnest, the others through force. Legs is introduced post-Heel Face Turn, having turned to the heroes' side before his introduction via the encouraging of Mr. Wolf. "Superbad" reveals this was also the case for The International League of Heroes, when they met each other and bonded through their troubles. | |

The Dog Was the Mastermind: Dr. Marmalade is introduced as a normal guinea pig at the end of "Mission Unpluckable". It's only when the others leave (after they think they're rescuing a normal guinea pig) does his true colors show, and he becomes the main antagonist of the series for the first arc. And then it turns out he's not even a guinea pig... | |

Fedora of Asskicking: In "The Bad Guys", Mr. Wolf attempts to get the others to wear fedoras as part of their new looks, much to their annoyances. Mr. Snake gets rid of it because he hates it, Mr. Piranha really doesn't have a head to even wear it, and Mr. Shark ate his. Only Mr. Wolf keeps it, until a cat they rescued shredded it. | |

Naked People Are Funny: Legs is first introduced as a standard tarantula, which means he's wearing nothing. Not only does this freak Mr. Shark out even more than him just being a spider, it disgusts Mr. Snake and Mr. Piranha. Legs eventually takes their advice and gets some clothes: only a hat and shoes, his hairy butt's still out there. Mr. Shark strips out of his suit for his dolphin disguise in “Attack of the Zittens�, because dolphins obviously aren’t known for wearing clothes. Mr. Piranha agrees to this point, but is still disturbed by it, while also accusing Mr. Shark of spending too much time with Legs. | |

Trademark Favorite Food: Chickens for Mr. Snake, which made the mission to free chickens in “Mission Unpluckable� a difficult one for him. Beef and bean burritos for Mr. Piranha. Even as his reputation as a “butt biter�, he still enjoys them, and has a tendency to make them when stressed, and then overeat them. The gas caused from eating too many of them ends up helping save the day in the book “Intergalactic Gas�. | |

It fails both times. To ask for assistance in defeating the aliens controlling the mothership, Legs says to Agent Shortfuse "Help me, Rhonda". | |

Plot Allergy | |
| The Bad Guys / int_e064dc5a | comment |
Plot Allergy: In "Attack of the Zittens", Granny Gumbo's allergy to "mutt-dogs" (which translates into being allergic to Mr. Wolf) ends up saving Mr. Snake after Granny Gumbo swallows him (due to thinking he was a worm). | |

Last-Name Basis | |

Last-Name Basis: Despite having “Mr.� to list their species’ surnames, the main four have a tendency to drop that and just refer to each other by their last name in situations. | |

Comfort Food | |
| The Bad Guys / int_e2c91d45 | comment |
Comfort Food: Mr. Piranha's go-to comfort food is beef and bean burritos. He has a tendency to make them in mass amounts and scarf them down in times of stress. | |

Manchild: Played with. To Earthling eyes, Dr. Marmalade is an eccentric mad scientist. To the eyes of his alien species, he has the mental maturity of a preschooler. | |

Disguised in Drag | |
| The Bad Guys / int_e37f19 | comment |
Disguised in Drag: Mr. Wolf still holds onto the "granny" disguise from his evil past. The others point out that this disguised never worked. Mr. Shark disguises himself as a little girl who lost her puppy in "The Bad Guys", much to his own irritation. This was his first disguise in the series, while also prepping him up to be the disguise guy for the team. In "Mission Unpluckable", Mr. Shark uses a mother hen disguise to attempt to rally the clueless chickens to follow him. In "Attack of the Zittens", it's surprisingly not Mr. Shark that's wearing a girl disguise (he's disguised as a dolphin). Instead, Mr. Piranha is disguised in a bikini and ponytailed wig as "Mindy", a pet goldfish, much to his extreme embarrassment. In "Alien Vs Bad Guys", Mr. Shark once again puts on a female disguise, this time his approximation of a female version of the alien species that Dr. Marmalade truly is. Unfortunately, he has no idea what they actually look like, so this one fails. | |

Swallowed Whole | |
| The Bad Guys / int_eea96e78 | comment |
Swallowed Whole: Mr. Snake has swallowed both Mr. Piranha and a large amount of chickens alive at multiple times, being angrily flung around to get the eaten person out. Mr. Wolf, in a fit of rage, has eaten Mr. Snake after being pestered too much, which led to... ...Mr. Shark eating Mr. Wolf in the same rage (while Mr. Snake was still inside Mr. Wolf, he described the experience as like a "disgusting nesting doll". A heavy fall managed to knock the two out of him, however. He would later use this ability to hide the smaller members when needing to get into a location. | |

Being Evil Sucks | |
| The Bad Guys / int_f1919d5b | comment |
Being Evil Sucks: Even before the series begins, Mr. Wolf realizes that he's sick of people being afraid of him, and wants to be the good guy for a change. It takes a bit of persuasion and example for the others, however. His motivations of changing his ways are being expanded on in Episode 14 and onwards. | |

Bruiser with a Soft Center: Once he solidifies himself on the side of good, Mr. Shark's dangerous persona quickly drops, and he quickly becomes the emotional center of the team. He's more open with fears, but still won't hesitate to lash out in anger when things go wrong. | |

Darkest Hour | |

Darkest Hour: The end of Books 9 and 17 are this. Book 9 ends with Snake’s supposed death, while Book 17 ends with the Others seemingly misdirecting their power to the One, and Fox’s death and Wolf being all alone. However, the latter subverts this with a Hope Spot, as Shortfuse reveals that she is the true One. | |
