Applied Phlebotinum: Bowdler uses a device called a "disruptor" to block Trash's powers. Later on, he realizes that Lucky can use the disruptor to permanently silence the voices in his head.

Darker and Edgier: Much, much so. Hidden Talents dealt with school bullying and learning how to live with bad teachers, and the boys' biggest problem was figuring out how to prevent Bloodbath from intentionally getting Edgeview shut down. Now Trash has been kidnapped, Lucky's been institutionalized, and Martin's home life has deteriorated to the point that he runs away.

Contrived Coincidence: All of the boys are drawn to Philadelphia, for various different reasons, and all of them find each other remarkably easily for a city of its size. This is remarked upon when Flinch is sure that Torchie will be in Philly because Trash, Cheater and Martin already are. Interestingly, this could be justified by the fact that each one experiences a “voice” telling them to go there.
