Misfits is a British Speculative Fiction series about a group of young offenders on a community service programme, who get caught in a freak electrical storm that imbues them with superpowers. The series debuted in November 2009 and the second series aired the following year with a bonus Christmas special. A third was broadcast in late 2011, minus Robert Sheehan (Nathan), and a fourth series in 2012. The fifth and final series aired in 2013. It won the BAFTA award for Best Drama Series in 2010.The "Misfits" are a group of five 20-somethings who are united by a series of traumatic events, and the emergence of their freaky new superpowers. These newfound abilities all relate to their deepest personality traits and psychological drives; turning their desires into realities, and their greatest weaknesses into weapons.The original cast: Curtis is a former star athlete who was caught in possession of cocaine and publicly shamed, losing his chance to pursue the life he always dreamed of. Haunted by regret, he develops the power to turn back time when he feels incredible guilt. Simon, a shy, introverted and Genre Savvy young man who has been ignored and bullied all his life, develops the power to turn invisible and inaudible. Kelly, mouthy, aggressive, and always worried about what people think of her, is granted the power of telepathy. Alisha, a shallow and vain party girl, who flaunts her sex appeal in order to use and abuse the men around her, develops the ability to inspire uncontrollable lust in anyone who touches her. Nathan, snarky jerkass, who much to his consternation does not seem to have a power.Later additions to the main cast: Rudy, a crude young man whose buried fears and emotions are represented by his more sensitive clone.(Series 3 onwards.) Finn, an incredibly naive guy that never knows when to shut up, whose weak telekinesis is due to his own sense of powerlessness. (Series 4 onwards) Jess, a fiercely outspoken girl with hidden vulnerability whose refusal to take bullshit from anyone is reflected by her ability to see through solid surfaces. (Series 4 onwards.) Alex, the handsome but reserved local bartender who's not on community service, but seems to be keeping a power-related secret. Abby, a girl with a love of booze and an ever-present blank expression who lost her entire memory during the Storm. (Series 4 onwards).The Series is described by The Other Wiki as a "live-action superhero comedy drama", but is more frequently deemed X-Men meets Trainspotting.Not to be confused with the band of the same name. Or Misfits of Science, which has a similar premise. The Italian Web Video Series Freaks!, while having a completely different plot, has the same core premise of five young adults gaining superpowers from a strange event and the first episode of the second season referenced Misfits, which was confirmed as a tribute by the director.

comment
Robert Sheehan, who plays Nathan, left Misfits after the second season and went on to star in mostly films. At the time his decision was interpreted by some as "jumping ship to Hollywood". In-universe, Nathan's absence was explained by the cast in season 3 as "he went to Vegas to be a magician", made explicit in the webisode "Vegas Baby!".

Although none of the group are openly affectionate (or even vaguely respectful) towards each other for the most part, it does become apparent that they genuinely care for one another. Nathan even eventually admits to being fond of Simon, despite spending most of his time belittling the poor guy.

Anyone Can Die: Nobody is safe. While many deaths are reversed through time travel, the series is not above killing off recurring and regular characters for real. By the end of the series Simon, Alisha and Curtis are all dead, as are at least five probation workers.

The Artifact

comment
The Artifact: The opening evolves whenever a cast member joins or leaves. The animated bits remain unchanged though, which becomes very noticeable as more and more cast members are replaced. By the fifth season all the original cast members are gone, but they still appear as the animated silhouettes getting struck by lightning. This also applies to the powers displayed by the silhouettes, which no longer have any significance when they gain new ones in the third season.

Trailers Always Spoil
 Misfits / int_143939c1
comment
Trailers Always Spoil: The 'next week' trailers at the end of each episode (common to many British series) many times kill major plot points to the upcoming episode. If you're binge-watching, it's best to skip them entirely. The keyart, as well as the small pre-episode promos that advertise the series on Hulu all feature the final season cast, so anyone who starts watching the show knows immediately that none of the original cast featured in the first two series are still in the show by the end.

All There in the Manual: A pair of webisodes give more clarity on Nathan's departure (and also serves as Rudy's first appearance), and on where a graffiti artist (that the gang is constantly cleaning up after) comes from. Both are up on Hulu, but are listed in the 'Clips' section, so it's very easy to miss them, especially the first webisode, which serves as a bridge between Series 2 & 3.

Visionary Villain: Rachel the "Virtue Girl", while being decidedly sinister, seemed to genuinely regard herself as a nice person acting in accordance with the greater good. She seemed to honestly believe that she was helping people and ultimately making the world a better place. She could have used the power to set straight criminals who couldn't be reformed any other way. But she went and tried to use it on the whole world.

Never Trust a Trailer
 Misfits / int_19ebe383
comment
Never Trust a Trailer: Not the worst example ever, but the trailers are normally misleading. For example, the trailer for 2.4 made it appear as if newcomer Ollie would be an important character in the episode, probably getting his new teammates in some kind of evil mafia-run game and lots of generic danger. What actually happened was that Ollie died in the first fifteen minutes or so, with the rest of the episode dedicated to the others trying to defeat Tim, his killer who lives in a Grand Theft Auto-esque video game fantasy, and Nikki's emerging superhero powers after she was given Ollie's heart.

In the Hood: Sort of. In the series 2 episode with the Lactokinesis kid, Simon pulls up his hood (for some reason he'd been wearing a hoodie along with his Ian Curtis-looking attire throughout series 2 in distinctly badass fashion as he goes looking for his friends' murderer. Subverted in that he's invisible anyway, so it's not like he needs his face to be hidden, but it fits in line with British perception of the hoodie culture: serious shit is about to go down. And, of course, Superhoodie. Naturally, since they're the same person.

Discard and Draw: The apparent fate of most of the cast at the end of the Series 2 Christmas special. Alisha in particular, as her power presumably died with "Jesus".

Curtis in 3.6 because due to getting his female body pregnant through messy masturbation, he gets stuck in the female form and has to go back to Seth for a power removal.

How Do I Shot Web?
 Misfits / int_21fd09a7
comment
How Do I Shot Web?: Simon seems to be the only one to learn how to invoke his initial power entirely voluntarily. Kelly and Alisha's are always on, and Curtis and Nathan's are Defence Mechanism Superpowers. The new powers in series 3 seem to have averted this except for Rudy Rudy is perhaps the best example of this considering it isn't even up to him when his clone decides to pop out. Not to mention that Rudy Three was actually able to take control of his body. It's all Finn can do to make a plant shuffle off a shelf. In short: He can use weak telekinesis at will but anything stronger than moving a shopping trolley a meter forward has only been seen as instinctive. Jess may have had trouble earlier but by the time we get to her she can voluntarily use her power. Abby's power doesn't work that way, as we're initially meant to believe that it is amnesia, but it is actually being someone's imaginary friend. The power to make one's imaginary friends real is shown to be used accidentally, creating both Abby and Scary. and Alex's is unclear as it seems to activate whenever he orgasms but he hasn't been shown to be able to not use it. It's understandably used and subverted with less significant characters. Notable in series 2 is Tim, who struggles with not using his power. Understandable, as it is thinking he is the main character of a GTA-esque game.

Chekhov's Gun: Simon's videography. Subverted. Curtis being lactose intolerant seems important when going up against Brian's dairy powers, but ultimately doesn't matter as Brian immediately has an equally deadly backup plan.

 Misfits / int_23e32a30
comment
Genre Deconstruction: Of superheroes by showing what happens when a Mass Empowering Event occurs to normal people who have nether the qualities or aspirations to be heroes or villains, placing the show firmly in the Capepunk genre. The concept of Personality Powers is thoroughly explored in the show, explaining how this can result in useless and even dangerous abilities. Meanwhile the few who get genuinely impressive powers can rarely control them or use them in any meaningful way. Curtis gains the power to travel through time, but can only use it when he feels regret, while Alisha makes her sexually desirable through touch, but means that she can't touch anyone ever since her power is always active. Meanwhile many of the villains are in fact victims of abilities they literally can't control, from having their barely controlled tempers becoming violent rages to a video game player gaining the "power" of delusions that make him believe he's in a Grand Theft Auto game. Very few of the "villains" of the show are unsympathetic or without redeeming qualities. For the most part, they're just like the Misfits themselves: ordinary people with abilities they didn't want and can't really control. As a result it's not uncommon for the Misfits to feel sorry for having to kill the villains, and in other situations being able to reason with them into stopping whatever they're doing. From the first episode the show has mocked the very concept of superheroes and the idea that the Misfits gang could even become superheroes. While this idea has gone through a Decon-Recon Switch at several points, overall the show takes a very cynical view on the idea that anyone has the qualities to be superheroes. The closest to reach it is Superhoodie, but he was Simon from the future and only dedicated to protecting the Stable Time Loop he was in, making him willing to let certain characters die so everything happens as planned. Meanwhile the Jumper Posse was created by Rudy Two based on a prophetic jumper that led him to believe he was meant to help Sam, Karen and Helen to become proper superheroes. However within just a year the trio became supervillains who killed civilians over minor crimes like littering, unable to handle the selfishness and apathy of the people they were meant to protect.

Only Sane Man: This is how Curtis (who compared to the others is a relatively normal, polite and well-adjusted individual) appears to view himself in 1.1. He is initially horrified by the group of anti-social, dysfunctional and aggressive delinquents he is being expected to mingle with, protesting that his conviction was unfair and that he shouldn't even be there. He does gradually loosen up, but not because his opinions of the group change radically - he simply gets used to them.

As the Good Book Says...: Rudy tries invoking the Good Samaritan when getting Helen to help him, Jess and Abbie. He then humorously gets this mixed up with the Crucifixion and Nativity stories however. Jess sarcastically comments after hearing it about how well he knows the scriptures. Nathan also refers to the Good Samaritan when trying to persuade the gang to steer clear of trouble in 2.4, "like the Good Samaritan".

Mythology Gag: When Finn uses his telekinesis to spill a cup of tea, both he and Abby joke about how lame it would be if that was all his power was limited to. Guess Curtis never told them about Brian, aka "Monsieur Grande-Fromage". When Abby wonders if Nadine ran out of the Community Centre because she didn't want Rudy to know she might be a Werewolf? Makes you wonder if Jeremy is still waking up naked at the Centre?

Disappeared Dad: Nathan's father. Implied to have been the "psychologically absent" type before leaving Nathan and his mother altogether. Apparently he cheated on Nathan's mother, walked out on her, and has another son he'd never bothered to mention. Oh, and he also left Nathan alone and unattended in Ikea for three hours on his eighth birthday, during which time Nathan ended up having lunch with a known pedophile. The father of the baby in 1.5. as well, which inspired the baby's power of making any man he comes into contact with want to be his dad. Kelly suggests his mother bring him to his real father at the end, so this could make him want to stick around.

Token Minority Couple: Initially played straight with Alisha and Curtis, who are both Black, but averted after they split up. Later Curtis dates Nikki, who's also Black, though she was killed off pretty quickly. However, he was also attracted to and slept with a young white woman, though it didn't work out (she was far more into Curtis as Melissa).

Everyone Went to School Together
 Misfits / int_292d1ccd
comment
Everyone Went to School Together: Averted: Despite living on a relatively insular estate together and all being around the same age, most of the gang had never met each other before starting community service together. The exceptions are Alisha, Rudy, and Curtis - Alisha and Rudy were in Sixth Form together, and they briefly met Curtis there when he gave a motivational speech to their class. One episode in series 1 however reveals that they were all near each other when Curtis got arrested: Kelly, Simon and Alisha were at the same club as Curtis, while Nathan was nearby. Curtis changing the past means that retroactively they did briefly encounter each other prior to starting their community service.

Fantastic Drug: Subverted in that standard pills (ecstasy) reverse the nature of powers as a side effect. Kelly begins announcing every thought that pops into her head, Curtis flashes forward in time, Alisha repels everyone she touches, Simon becomes the centre of attention and An Ice Person gets fire powers. This is also the episode where Nathan learns he can also see the dead. Subverted again in exactly the same way. This time Jess becomes blind instead of having X-ray vision, Alex puts all of the powers he removed from the people through sex into someone he has sex with and Mark (whose power is being a tortoise) just turns back into a human.

Attention Whore: Nathan will do virtually anything to get attention, including simulating oral sex on a mop, performing strange and lengthy Bono impersonations, and pretending to masturbate with a paint-brush. Sometimes his extravagant attention-seeking actually gets the group out of trouble. Alisha has her moments too, though she specifically craves positive male attention rather than just needing to be noticed in general. She becomes a lot more mature in Series 2 and doesn't display nearly as much attention-seeking behaviour, whereas Nathan, if anything, gets worse.

Disposing of a Body: Two have been buried in the concrete foundations of a building, one is kept in a freezer for a while and then dropped in the river. All things considered, the bodies are disposed of pretty well. The two buried in the concrete foundations are unlikely to ever be found, and the frozen body - if found - will be a nightmare for forensics to decipher, thanks to all the time spent in the freezer. The quality of disposal in Series 3 goes down. Most of them are dumped in shallow graves. With the number of disappearances that can be linked to the community centre, it's a wonder the police haven't found them by now.

Superhuman Transfusion: Nikki inadvertently gains the ability to teleport through a heart transplant from Ollie. She was able to use it over longer range than he ever did (i.e. more than a few feet...) but never learned to control it like he could. This seems to be a subtle but consistent theme when the powers get transferred, either by organ transplant or via the Power Broker; the recipient tends to have a stronger version and/or much better control of the power.

Emergency Temporal Shift: Curtis's ability to time travel is uncontrollable and triggered by guilt, so it's very common for it to activate when something's gone horribly wrong: it can be something as directly threatening as being cornered by a villain that's already killed one of his friends, or it can be indirect as evidence of the team's crimes being discovered. Whatever the case, it immediately sends him back in time and fix things. After being sold Curtis's power, Seth the power dealer gives the freshly souped-up time-travel power to a guilt-ridden old German Jew who uses the power in an attempt to kill Hitler. Unfortunately, Hitler is still relatively healthy in the period selected and more than a match for an octogenarian without a single day of combat experience, so poor Friedrich ends up being forced to retreat back through time with a stab wound to the belly. Worse still, Friedrich dropped his phone at the scene, unwittingly giving the Nazis the technological advantage they needed to win World War II - kicking off a Bad Future. In the same episode, Friedrich hastily returns the power to Seth before being executed; Seth can't use the powers he extracts, so he transfers it to Kelly - right in the middle of a shootout with Nazi security forces, allowing Kelly to zap herself out of danger. And then right back to the scene of the attempted assassination, where she snatches the phone off Hitler and kicks the crap out of him.

Stable Time Loop
 Misfits / int_37690091
comment
Stable Time Loop: Superhoodie seems to be in one of these. Alisha falls in love with him and he dies shortly after he reveals his true identity of Future!Simon to her, saying it was meant to be this way. She starts warming up to Simon as a result and his curiosity eventually gives him the truth. In the Christmas special, Simon is seen learning Le Parkour. The loop finally gets stabilised in the third season finale. Poor Alisha. There's some evidence it may not be exactly "stable"; see Temporal Paradox below.

Intoxicated Superpower Snag

comment
Intoxicated Superpower Snag: Early in the second season, the Misfits and their newest friends are out partying when they decide to try some Ecstasy pills (Simon attempts to abstain, but Jamie drops a pill in his drink anyway). After some One Eyed Shots of the team's pupils rippling, they find that the drugs have temporarily reversed their abilities: Alisha induces instant revulsion in everyone she touches, Curtis accidentally catapults himself forwards in time, Kelly is unable to stop voicing her inner monologue, and Simon is noticed and adored by everyone around him. Less amusingly, the cryokinetic girl that Jamie's been romancing finds herself with uncontrollable pyrokinesis and suffers a fatal Superpower Meltdown that nearly kills the temporarily mortal Nathan and ends up killing Jamie for real.

Blessed with Suck
 Misfits / int_3c3f28a5
comment
Blessed with Suck: Everybody, to a degree. The show focuses a great deal on the annoying and inconvenient aspects of having a superpower. Some people have powers that are practically useless, or just drove them crazy. Special mention must go to Alisha, who is nearly raped every time she touches a man for the first few episodes. Kelly, especially in Series 3. What good is being a rocket scientist if nobody believes you actually are one?. However, this is subverted as her new power actually proves to be one of the more useful ones. Most powers: Kelly's telepathy allows one to hear other's thoughts...many of which are insulting or really dirty, Tony gets super-strength coupled with murderous rage, Lucy could shapeshift but transformation was very painful, Lily's pyrokinesis (actually cryokinesis but she took ecstasy, which reverses powers) was triggered during intercourse, teleportation is used by several people but Nikki can't control it, emotional duplication (creates a duplicate in a Literal Split Personality situation and owned by Rudy and Geoff)creates psycho clones representing the deep, dark parts of the user, the ability to tell the future (in many forms, including knitting) will probably show someone dying eventually, resurrection makes flesh-hungry zombies, power removal requires sex (although depending on who needs their powers removing this one's debatable), one time-travel power doesn't let you come back (except the slow way) and there are many more. Some are like this before the users are used to them (flight only works if you're fleeing, invisibility and camouflage only work when ignored) but they're fine once controlled better.

Captain Obvious: Nathan's "The probation worker's gone mental!" line, when he'd already been warned about said probation worker's mentality and refused to believe it.

"Not If They Enjoyed It" Rationalization: Alisha's defense for using her powers against Curtis is that he enjoyed it. Simon tells Lucy, disguised as Alisha, to stop several times as she gives him a blowjob in 2.1. Curtis later tells him he should have tried harder to stop it on account that Alisha is Curtis' girlfriend, prompting Nathan to say the following: Rudy defends himself for going down on a drugged Melissa!Curtis in 3.2 by saying she liked it. Curtis calls Rudy out for this argument.

Butt-Monkey: Simon. It seems whenever someone's power starts messing with people, it's always Nathan. Sometimes it's not even powers: the universe just loves screwing over Nathan. Although his misfortune is very often a direct result of his own idiocy, arrogance and/or general jerkassery, whereas Simon is undeservingly victimised. Plus Simon is painfully aware of his own butt monkey status, while Nathan remains ridiculously over-confident despite leading a life of near-constant humiliation. That trait is what makes him immortal. Ollie up until his prompt death, anyway. Finn.

Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Courtesy of Nathan, naturally; "You mean, after all these weeks of buildup, we're not even gonna have sex?" In plenty of episodes, the characters will refer to the events of the previous episode as "last week". It goes further in episode 2.3, when Nathan points out he hasn't died this week, this being the first episode since 1.5 that he doesn't die, and Simon says it's only Thursday - Misfits airs on Thursdays. The first episode of series 3 ends with this glorious exchange: In episode 3.3, when the group is upset that Superhoodie turned on them and they were on the receiving end of an ass-kicking. Rudy replies: "I'm fucking new! I don't know anything about this shit!"

Break the Cutie: The torrent of pain and misfortune endured by Simon could be seen as this, although he was well on the way to being "broken" anyway; years of being bullied and humiliated at school caused him to Freak Out one day and attempt to burn down his worst tormentor's house. Until he realised that would involve killing a cat, and extinguished the flames. By pissing through the letterbox. Sally also did this to him by accident near the end of Series 1, after pretending to like him in order to get close enough to find information proving he and the other Misfits killed Tony. In an ensuing struggle, he accidentally bangs her head against the door with enough force to kill her.

Power Perversion Potential
 Misfits / int_4d070ee3
comment
Power Perversion Potential: Several of the group's powers potentially lend themselves to abuse. Simon uses his Invisibility for sneaking into the women's locker room and then sits there watching them changing. Later he uses his power to rob a bank van, and Nathan lampshades this by noting how odd it is that a bunch of young offenders didn't think of using their powers to commit crimes earlier. Alisha's first power makes anybody who's touched her be overcome by lust for her, and she used it to have sex with many men, including Curtis. He gets very angry at this afterward, and says she raped him later. Discussed by Nathan regarding Curtis' Time Travel ability: "If I had your power, I'd wait til I came, then go back a couple of seconds and just... hover." Curtis later gets a Gender Bender power. He has sex with the same woman as both his male and female selves, without her knowing he'd done this. Alex can remove someone else's power through having sex with them. Once, after Finn gets brainwashed into a murderous Satanist, Alex has to rape him for removing this.

Simon even goes to Nathan after a bad first time with Alisha, and the latter is all too happy to give him sex tips.

Making Love in All the Wrong Places
 Misfits / int_4e91b042
comment
Making Love in All the Wrong Places: Lots of people have sex in bathroom stalls. Alisha does it with Curtis, though this was actually rape since she used her power (that makes her irresistably attractive) on him. He is not happy at all, as you'd expect, after coming to his senses afterward. Alex does this repeatedly to take the powers of women away who don't want them (which requires sex). Jess does this to insure that her son's conceived with his abusive father before killing him.

Wrong Guy First

Wrong Guy First: The first series spent a great deal of time setting up the main couples as Nathan/Kelly and Curtis/Alisha. Who could've predicted that by early series 2 both of these couples would be discarded and the only romance amongst the main five misfits would be Alisha/Simon?

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Misfits / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: Simon's weirdness is toned down after the first series; after that his behaviour evolves into a he's-just-socially-awkward thing but in the first few episodes he genuinely appears to be a little deranged. ("I want to piss on your tits", anyone?) This is because the writers originally intended him to be the villain, but he was unexpectedly popular so they rewrote it, and eventually he is arguably the most heroic and noble character that has ever been on the show. In the first season, Superhoodie seems to be far too short to be Simon, and gives the impression of being a much younger boy than the other characters. See the Trivia page for more evidence that his eventual identity was a later choice.

Temporal Paradox
 Misfits / int_501de366
comment
Temporal Paradox: Several Plot Holes could be explained if the Time Loop isn't totally stable, but more like a recurring event in multiple Alternate Timelines. Specifically, the photo of Simon and Alisha in Las Vegas and Future!Simon possessing TV footage from the ASBO-5 timeline. Alternatively, these could be artifacts from alternate timelines that happened, but didn't become part of the Stable Time Loop. The most obvious example being early in series 2, when the group learns that Nathan is alive and buried underground, via a note from "Superhoodie", aka Future!Simon. So we see Present!Simon learn Nathan's whereabouts indirectly from Future!Simon. There is a big one in the series finale when Jess from a alternate future timeline is able to leave a video message on her iPhone to be discovered by her in the present - a message made right before Future-Jess commits suicide to force Luke to take her back to before they met. It may be an iPhone, but even it can't send a text message and save a video to a date for Future-Jess is now in the past.

Body Horror: Lucy the shapeshifter and her Painful Transformation sequences, during which she writhes, screams and appears to claw her own face off. Rudy's penis after his one-night stand curses it. Thankfully we only see it briefly, broken off in his hand in Simon's vision. Mostly, we get vague descriptions, including that it's going black.

Unresolved Sexual Tension
 Misfits / int_50ca4422
comment
Unresolved Sexual Tension: Nathan and Kelly's tentative flirtation. He frequently thinks about having sex with her, only to berate himself when he realises that she can obviously hear his thoughts. It's possibly the embarrassment of this (and their general social ineptitude) that has prevented them from taking their relationship any further thus far... As of 2.3, this has been solved after they attempt to have sex and it doesn't work out so well. Nathan voices what some of the audience was probably thinking.

Not Wearing Tights: Superhoodie wears a mask, a hoodie, trainers, light body armour and sometimes night-vision goggles. His costume focuses on practicality, for his parkour, rather than style. Lampshaded in series 2. The main cast go to a fancy dress wearing superhero outfits of lycra etc., and just look odd. The heroes on the jumper don't seem to be wearing costumes either, although the image is vague enough that you can't be sure.

 Misfits / int_561dab6b

Mistaken for Gay: Subverted in 2.3, when Nathan appears to fall in love with Simon. Kelly and Simon first assume Nathan is messing with Simon, and then later conclude that something is wrong. In 3.3, Simon's sudden strong affection for Peter is mistaken for sexual attraction by Rudy, who argues with Alisha about it. Alex is initially assumed to be gay by Tess due to his reluctance to have sex with her, as well as some Ambiguously Gay tendencies (like having a color-coordinated wardrobe). He's actually just self-conscious about having his genitals stolen. Greg the probation worker assumes that Finn and Alex are a couple after walking in on them having sex. It Makes Sense in Context.

Our Time Travel Is Different
 Misfits / int_56698261
comment
Our Time Travel Is Different: Curtis' Time Travel power works thusly: a) User feels an intense guilt or regret over an incident; b) User mentally time travels back to that incident and has the opportunity to change it; c) once done, he either snaps back to the present or, if he's already at the present, time keeps moving on; d) user remembers how history used to be, but doesn't remember the alternative history unless he experiences it himself. There's another kind, which is a simple backwards jump. Simon uses it to become Superhoodie. The final episode gives us a third variety, which allows the user to jump forwards into a possible future and then jump back if they don't like it, in order to work to change it.

No Bisexuals
 Misfits / int_5679208c
comment
No Bisexuals: When Nathan suddenly starts showing attraction to Simon (because of a guy using his power, who he pissed off), Kelly asks incredulously whether he's gay. He'd only showed interest in women before, but no one thinks he might be bi. Averted in 3.2 with Emma, who appears to find both Curtis and 'Melissa' attractive, and one of the girls Rudy thought he slept with in 3.6. Averted in the Season 1 finale where a girl in Rachel's circle confessed her sinful life dating lots of guys and other girls. Finn and Jess never assume that Alex may be interested in both men and women. Then again, neither does Alex. When Abby becomes attracted to (and then has sex with) a woman, she (and everyone else) assumes this means she's a lesbian, even though previously she only had sex with men (due to Laser-Guided Amnesia making her forget everything prior to the storm). No one appears to think that she could just be a bisexual, or is even aware of the idea. This could be explained though, in that Abby had been searching for a connection in all of her sexual encounters and had found zero sense of fulfillment by being with any of these men.

Throughout series 1 multiple characters ask what Nathan did to get community service. His answer is always the same- he stole some pick'n'mix but given that he's The Gadfly no one believes him. Come episode four we find out that he really was done in for stealing some pick'n'mix, of course he left out the whole part about him being a nuisance who harassed the manager but even Nathan was surprised to be told that this was a jailable offense.

 Misfits / int_5f3bb274
comment
Late-Arrival Spoiler: The trailer for season 2 featured Nathan recapping the group's powers, and spoiled Nathan's death & immortality. Likewise, trailers for the third season make it implicitly clear that Superhoodie is actually Simon, spoiling a major season two arc. Considering that season 3 ends with Simon & Alisha being Killed Off for Real, it's hard to see how season 4 can be marketed without spoiling, at the very least, their actors not being around anymore. When playing any episode on Hulu (all the way back to the first episode), it would start out showing the logo for a few seconds with a shot of the main cast as of season 5 - a completely different cast from the start of the show. This seems to have been thankfully removed now.

Parent with New Paramour: The situation with Nathan's mum and her new partner Jeremy. Notable in that it averts the "evil step-parent" cliche entirely. Jeremy is portrayed as a sweet, sensitive (if slightly odd) guy who is upset by his step-son's constant tirade of abuse. Nathan does ultimately accept his mum's new relationship and try to make amends though.

All-Natural Fire Extinguisher
 Misfits / int_6344aa1a
comment
All-Natural Fire Extinguisher: Prior to the beginning of the series, a drunk Simon tried to get revenge on a bully by setting fire to his house. However, after noticing a cat in the house, Simon came to his senses and decided to extinguish the fire by urinating through the letterbox in the door. This is what caused him to be sent to do community service.

Heroic Sacrifice
 Misfits / int_6439de78
comment
Heroic Sacrifice: Superhoodie takes a bullet intended for Alisha in 2.4, ending his mission. And Simon later takes a knife in the gut to save Curtis, in order for Curtis to be able to rewind time to save the others. Rudy attempts one to save Alisha from Time-Control Girl Tanya but they're rescued before he actually dies. In the Nazi timeline, Peter, the guy who can direct the future via comics, presumably makes one when trying to escape, knowing the unimaginable damage his power could do. Nadine later lets the Four Horsemen kill her rather than having the gang sacrifice themselves to save her.

Forgot About His Powers
 Misfits / int_650a309b
comment
Forgot About His Powers: When the main characters are trying to come up with a way they can break into a convent "full of evil bitch nuns" in 4.8, we get this exchange: Happened with Jess throughout series 5, though it was never more obvious then when, instead of standing a fair distance away from the door and using her x-ray vision to see if Leah-possessed Alex and her nail gun were outside, she went out of her way to use the peep-hole! Later, she doesn't bother to check whether psycho-Geoff is behind a door but moments later remembers about her power and looks into a car boot, finding main Geoff. After discovering his power of immortality, Nathan never seems to remember that what would be lethal situations or threats to everyone else wouldn't really matter much if he was the one to step up or put himself in harms way instead. Until, of course, he gives up the power and immediately forgets he doesn't have it anymore in the very next dangerous situation he encounters.

Hilariously Abusive Childhood: Nathan's anecdote about his eighth birthday definitely qualifies - it involved him being abandoned in Ikea by his father, and spending the day eating meatballs with a paedophile. Similarly, Nathan's story about a camping trip where his mother's friend bad-touched him. It's possible that it's because he's such a pathological liar people assume he's just trying to get attention.

Meaningful Name: Surely the writers didn't name the immortal character Nathan Young by accident. Also, "Nathaniel" translates as Gift from God, which certainly sums up his cocky attitude. It is also a hilarious coincidence that the entire series was created by one "Howard Overman".

Disc-One Final Boss: The third season finale has this in spades. The first five minutes imply the Medium might be the big bad of the episode, by halfway through we're sure it's Ghost!Sally but in the end it turns out they should have kept their eye on Ghost!Virtue Girl all along. Although Sally was sort of a bad guy, as she had intended to kill Alisha to get revenge on Simon. It's just that she willingly gives up the campaign as soon as she's reunited with Tony. Unlike Virtue Girl, whose very reason for not being able to move on is she desires revenge against the Misfits.

To Finn's continuous embarrassment, most of the men rule themselves out by claiming to have only engaged in sexual activity with Mary that could not result in a child. He finally does find his birth father, but unfortunately he's dying of cancer. They still bond, and he gets to know his half-sister as well.

Literal Split Personality: Rudy's power. He can manifest himself into two separate personalities at times of self-doubt and stress. There's a minor aspect of Evil Twin in that when the split happens, one side of him acts even more socially unacceptable while the other acts in a much more sensitive manner. As of season 4, there's an actual Evil Twin triplet Rudy too. His father gets the same power but we only see the original and a very evil twin.

Coconut Superpowers: The show thrives on this. Of the original cast, only Simon's superpower requires any sort of special effects, and even then, only when he initially turns invisible. Of the season 4 cast, only Rudy and Jess's powers require special effects, since Finn can only move small objects with his telekinesis. In season 5 Rudy very rarely merges or splits on-screen (although effects are needed then), Alex has some fairly basic effects (bright lights) and Abby's power needs no effects.

comment
Real Life Writes the Plot: Robert Sheehan, who plays Nathan, left Misfits after the second season and went on to star in mostly films. At the time his decision was interpreted by some as "jumping ship to Hollywood". In-universe, Nathan's absence was explained by the cast in season 3 as "he went to Vegas to be a magician", made explicit in the webisode "Vegas Baby!". Even more ironic and doubling as a Take That! is the case of Lauren Socha, who plays Kelly. She was written out of the show after season 4, when the actress was arrested after punching and hurling a torrent of racial abuse at a taxi driver, drunkenly threatening to "have his family deported". In-universe justification? "She went to help the children in Africa."

For Want of a Nail
 Misfits / int_79a60aec
comment
For Want Of A Nail: Curtis was arrested and sentenced to community service after he was caught with drugs. When he turns back time to prevent this from happening, he realizes that because he wasn't there to turn back time in the first episode and confirm Kelly's claim that Tony was trying to kill her, Tony got in the building and successfully murdered Kelly, Simon, and Alisha, Nathan only surviving because of his immortality. When Curtis turns back time again to ensure he gets caught, he only keeps one pill instead of the large amount he had originally that his girlfriend Sam went to jail for. As she was never arrested for drug possession, Curtis and Sam are still dating in the present when he hooks up with Alisha.

Token Evil Teammate: Early in series 1, it appeared as though Simon was headed in this direction, especially when you consider how creepy he was when he killed Sally it seemed as though this would be his journey to villain. However this was averted as it became obvious later on that he was actually the most noble of the group. note As seen in storyboards, the initial plans involved Simon going Ax-Crazy in the finale, so there was good reason for the hints. Nathan is a more hurtful than harmful one, but (being a most likely literal sociopath) still definitely qualifies.

Mental Time Travel
 Misfits / int_7cc7ff15
comment
Another in season 3. Curtis' power has always been Mental Time Travel, but after he sold it to Seth, it turns into physical time travel to anywhere, allowing an old Jewish man to go back to try and kill Hitler by appearing in his office as an old man, and Kelly to go back decades before she was even born. Curiously enough, this isn't the first time this sort of thing has happened when Seth got involved: Nikki's teleportation power was almost impossible to use voluntarily, and often activated when she didn't want it to-hence why she sold it to Seth. When "Jesus" bought the power off Seth, he was apparently able to use it without any of Nikki's old problems.

comment
In the first episode of season two, Lucy gets one big scene to demonstrate her shapeshifting powers, featuring Transformation Horror, flickering electric lights, and some effective CG. For the rest of the episode, however, all of her transformations occur in cutaways: in one scene, she becomes a mouse by ducking out of sight, the only indication that she's just transformed being the signature light-flickering; in another, she reverts back from her Kelly disguise before turning into Simon, but we only see her manifesting Black Eyes of Evil as each transformation begins before the camera cuts to the real Simon's reaction.

She seems to particularly enjoy hitting Nathan, though in all fairness he usually deserves it (at one point he even admits to liking her violent temper and the fact that she isn't afraid to slap him).

Ghostly Death Reveal

comment
Ghostly Death Reveal: In season 2, Nathan meets his half-brother Jamie, and the two of them bond over their mutual hatred of their father... right up until the two of them narrowly avoid getting killed in a fire. After this, Jamie seems curiously eager to get Nathan to reconnect with his dad, and Nathan reluctantly consents to a face-to-face meeting to clear the air; however, when they finally meet up, their father is uncharacteristically sorrowful - and doesn't seem to notice that Jamie is there. Turns out that Jamie didn't escape the fire after all - and Nathan has the power to communicate with the dead. In another season 2 episode, the team end up getting on the bad side of an aspiring supervillain with the power to psychically control milk. Following a confrontation with said supervillain, we briefly lose track of Kelly and Alisha - up until the former bumps into Nathan, seemingly unharmed. However, this turns out to be Nathan's mediumship at work again: Kelly quickly reveals that she's been murdered and that the supervillain is now holding Alisha hostage; for good measure, we cut to a reveal shot of Kelly's body, having been drowned in milk.

Alternate Universe: A natural side-effect of Curtis's time winding. Notable examples include; 1.4: Where Curtis never got caught in the drug bust, and everyone (except Nathan) died when the probation worker attacked them. 2.6: When the Misfits, and many other people with powers become famous, but are all killed by a young man with the power to manipulate lactose because, despite being the first person with powers to go public, he's quickly considered a joke or novelty compared to the more impressive/cool abilities. 3.4: The premise of the entire episode, where an old Jewish man uses Curtis' power to try and kill Hitler. Predictably, he fails, and Hitler ends up with his phone, which he then uses to accelerate Germany's technological development and win WWII. 5.8: Jess is pushed ahead a year into the future by a boy she hooks up with at the bar. In the time she's missing, the superhero gang started by Rudy Two have turned into sociopaths, killing both criminals but also anyone they deem simply to be wankers.

Season 3 features Curtis swapping his uncontrollable time-travel power for the much more controllable ability to become a woman at will; none of these transformations are ever given a full Transformation Sequence, instead occurring in cutaways or behind closed doors.

Dead Man's Chest
 Misfits / int_8928fe5f
comment
Dead Man's Chest: In the first season, a rather hilarious version of this happens. The Misfits's probation worker goes crazy thanks to the storm and kills one of them, and to avoid blame (they're all juvenile delinquents) they bury the bodies under a bridge, transporting it using Alisha's dad's car. Then they find out the bridge is being demolished to make way for a wildlife centre, so they dig up the bodies, hoping to rebury them under the concrete of the new centre. However, Alisha and Curtis are arguing, and therefore not present at the crucial time, so the remaining Misfits steal the keys to their new probation worker's car to move the bodies. Then before they can move the bodies out of the car, Sally, their probation worker, appears and drives home. The next morning she comes into work, smells something in the back of the car, and discovers the bodies. Curtis rewinds time, and Nathan has to distract her by throwing a brick at her car to avoid her noticing the two corpses in her car boot.

Superpower Lottery: 'Powers' granted by the storm range from making people bald and believing you're a dog at night, to telekinesis, mind control, time travel and limited reality warping. Not that any of the powers seen so far are at comics' power levels. Specifically invoked when one character says he wants a super power too, "something from the A-list."

 Misfits / int_908ad334

Time Master: Curtis, though apparently it only extends to reversing time (and only works when he's feeling guilty about something that's just happened). He can even rewind time to before he should have had the power. Other people using the power can even travel to before they were born and to wherever they want to be in that time.

Femme Fatale
 Misfits / int_90b66e22
comment
Femme Fatale: Alisha, big-time, particularly when you consider her power. Not that she wasn't enough of one in the first place. In Season 4, Lola has this as her "power", literally. It turns out that she was an aspiring actress playing a Femme Fatale character when the storm hit, leaving her stuck in character and having her past personality and memories completely overwritten, leading to the dramatic consequences that this type of character usually creates (hence the "fatale" in the name) for her and the several men she started using, including Curtis.

Set Right What Once Went Wrong: The catalyst for triggering Curtis's power. As of series 2, Superhoodie has travelled from the future to fix the present. Holocaust survivor Friedrich tries to do this by assassinating Hitler. Sadly he fails, and when Hitler finds his mobile phone, the timeline changes so that the Nazis win the war using technology which they got by reverse-engineering it. Kelly later in the episode goes back in time to just after the assassination attempt to steal the phone back from Hitler.

Questionable Consent: Averted with Sally and Simon, twice. The first in Series 1, when she is his probation worker and he is a teenager, but she has no real intentions of sleeping with him. The second in 3.8, when she uses his guilt over him murdering her to convince him that her spirit can only move on if she proves her feelings for him are real, but he is unable to go through with it. Nathan confesses to Kelly that he usually gets girls drunk in order to sleep with them.

Mistaken for Transformed: In the series 2 pilot, the ASBO 5 find themselves up against Lucy, a shapeshifting Yandere out to get Simon away from the rest of the team and back to the psychiatric unit where they met. While trying to stop her, the team ends up mistaking their probation worker for Lucy and beating him to death - thankfully undone by Curtis' time-travel powers; later, after seeing Lucy transform into a mouse, Nathan finds a mouse in the locker room and squashes it in the belief that it's her, even presenting it to Simon... only to realize too late that it's the wrong mouse and he's actually talking to a disguised Lucy.

There Are No Therapists: Simon in particular could really do with a bit of counselling. Although it's later revealed that he was in fact briefly admitted to a psychiatric ward after the attempted arson, no mention was made of him getting any follow-up therapy (which he is very clearly in need of). Averted with Rudy in 3.5, showing that there is in fact a therapist. Although she appears to be in need of some therapy herself.

Sort of. In the series 2 episode with the Lactokinesis kid, Simon pulls up his hood (for some reason he'd been wearing a hoodie along with his Ian Curtis-looking attire throughout series 2 in distinctly badass fashion as he goes looking for his friends' murderer. Subverted in that he's invisible anyway, so it's not like he needs his face to be hidden, but it fits in line with British perception of the hoodie culture: serious shit is about to go down.

Early in series 1, it appeared as though Simon was headed in this direction, especially when you consider how creepy he was when he killed Sally it seemed as though this would be his journey to villain. However this was averted as it became obvious later on that he was actually the most noble of the group. note As seen in storyboards, the initial plans involved Simon going Ax-Crazy in the finale, so there was good reason for the hints.

There Are No Adults: Played with. The probation workers are always around, we meet Nathan's parents, and people mention their parents, but apart from that they're completely absent. Even though it's repeatedly stated that none of them have enough money to live on their own, none of them seem to live with their parents, and even when they die or disappear by going back in time, their parents don't seem to be bothered.

Idealized Sex
 Misfits / int_af3ff126
comment
Idealized Sex: Comically averted during any sexual situation involving Nathan - actually, very few sex scenes in the show play this trope remotely straight, but if Nathan's involved you know you're in for something particularly disastrous. He's been shown to suffer from premature ejaculation, has got his finger stuck in a girl's vagina during foreplay, and has displayed an o-face so off-putting and bizarre that his partner started laughing hysterically when she saw it. He also has a famous habit of "tripling" himself during sex - yes, kids, that's when you ejaculate, puke and shit yourself all at once - although luckily for everyone this one happens off-screen. Some of the sex on the show can come across as horribly unrealistic, with no mentions of contraception, safety, etc. It gets really bad when one of the characters has anal sex, and doesn't even have to use lube. Any person that's had anal sex can attest that it is not that simple. To make it worse, it later happens again while actively flying through the sky!

Ms. Fanservice: Alisha's bit with the bottle in the first episode, which inspires a stunned look from all the boys (Curtis, Nathan and Simon). She's quite pretty, and definitely the most keen to flaunt her sex appeal of the female cast. In fact, her power is based on this-anyone who touches her immediately has a strong urge to have sex with her. The Cheerleaders from 3.7. Subverted when the zombie virus kicks in.

comment
Be Careful What You Wish For: Curtis desperately wanted the chance to undo the mistakes he'd made, but he didn't bargain for the problems meddling with history would involve. Nikki really wanted a heart; the teleporting ability that came with it is not always controllable. There's also an early episode when Alisha began reveling in her power to inspire lust and abusing it. But she realizes the lack of value and meaning in her sexual encounters, and is almost raped by a man she's been using her powers on to repeatedly manipulate into losing control of himself AND by the friend who tries to help her escape when he too is affected by her powers in the process. She got the power to do exactly what she always wanted, be desired and lusted after by everybody, but her Power Incontinence makes it a case of Blessed with Suck Curtis wishes for a chance to run again, but it complicates his life in unforeseen ways.

 Misfits / int_b53077b3

Take That!: The series had a couple of pretty overt jabs at ''Heroes. Very early on there's a scene where all of the characters break down laughing at the idea that they should all start fighting crime and saving the world (although that could just be superhero stories in general). But S2 has a wimpy Soapbox Sadie champagne socialist rich-boy who jumps to the conclusion that he might become the most important of the characters...and instantly gets killed off. And the villain of the S2 Christmas episode is a handsome dark-haired guy who wants to be the most powerful person in the world, collects other people's powers but mostly uses telekenesis...and is an utterly pathetic douchenozzle who dies ludicrously well before the end of the ep through stupidly misusing one of his own powers. Anyone get the idea that the writers don't like a certain trustafarian male nurse or a certain guy named after a watch brand? Nathan's quip that only "the ugly kids" didn't get molested by priests when he was growing up in Ireland may be one, given the scandal there.

Too Dumb to Live: Nathan is all over this trope (it helps that he's immortal. But he tops even himself, in "Vegas, Baby!". He's winning, and winning, and winning in the casino. The house gets suspicious of his luck, and then goes to arrest him because he rolled an 11: a seven on one die, and a 4 on the other. Dice never have more than six pips. Nathan remarks to Marnie as he tries to run from the police that someone should've told him that. Doubles, as most fans are eager to point out. Someone able to bend reality can, within reason, walk out of any jail cell easily enough that being in prison shouldn't be an obstacle, contrary to what Nathan seems to think.

comment
Institutional Apparel: Although everyone wears their jumpsuit slightly differently, to reflect their attitudes and personalities. Curtis generally wears a vest or t-shirt on top, tying the jumpsuit's sleeves around his waist. This shows off his upper body, makes him look hardworking, and also reflects the fact that he doesn't feel like he really belongs in a Community Payback jumpsuit. He also always wears a medallion of a saint and a cross. Alisha generally shows some cleavage and rolls up her sleeves, pops her collar and rolls her trouser legs into capris. She also always wears a belt around her waist, further showing off her figure. She usually wears make-up, jewelry and ballet flats, despite the fact that they're doing manual labor. Kelly, like Alisha, doesn't wear a shirt under her jumpsuit. She keeps hers open at the collar, though doesn't undo as many buttons as Alisha. Kelly doesn't go to much effort to make hers more flattering or fashionable, more sort of surrendering to the ugliness. She does, however, keep on her jewelry and make-up and is (according to her twitter) devoted to Adidas, wearing them both for community service and civilian life. Nathan's is worn open to about the belly button with a visible t-shirt underneath. His jumpsuit is also the most stained, covered in paint and blood. The word 'pay' in the phrase 'Community Payback' has been crossed off and replaced with 'blow'. Simon wears his jumpsuit buttoned up to the chin: precise, neat, and respectful. This, of course, makes him "look a bit like a paedophile" according to Nathan, but fitting his shy personality it also looks like he's trying to hide in it. Rudy wears his with popped collar, rolled up sleeves and partly unbuttoned. Third Rudy wears his buttoned straight up, contrasting with Rudy. There's less variation in later members. As of series 5, all 5 of them unbutton it to reveal fairly large sections of neck and chest with shirts underneath, with some individual exceptions. The variation mostly comes from the shirts they (obviously) wear under them.

Both seem to revolve around Nathan; a middle-aged naked man running around naked, thinking he's a dog; and the revelation the Girl of the Week Nathan has sex with is really a 82-year old woman, as her true age is shown mid-orgasm. It's really as disturbing as it sounds, and Nathan's horrified reaction is...understandable.

Came Back Wrong: With the resurrection power introduced in Series 3, any living thing brought back from the dead develops a craving for flesh.

They do, however, take on a "rage virus" quality when attempting to feed.

Really Gets Around: Alicia is shown to be promiscuous at the beginning of the show, which her power reflects, and in school was dubbed the "Cock monster". Later she's settled down into a relationship with Simon. Nathan too is quite like this, and catches an STD in one case. After he meets Marnie though, this changes him and the pair go off to raise her baby together. Rudy, too, is quite promiscuous. This comes back later to bite him when a woman uses her power on him, making his penis fall off when he leaves her after they have sex.

Defence Mechanism Superpower: Nathan. His immortality literally won't kick in until after he dies first, only then will he be able to heal from whatever killed him and resurrect himself. If it's not a fatal wound, he can't heal himself... which is exactly what the "Milk Guy" in Season 2 does. He incapacitates him in such a way that he's been turned into a vegetable, but still alive, so he can't heal himself. Finn's telekinesis isn't strictly this, as he can always lift small things at will but it kind of is, as it is a lot stronger when he or someone else is in major danger, easily knocking back a fairly strong person or horseman of the apocalypse.

Double Standard Rape: Female on Male: Lampshaded values dissonance with Alisha and Curtis in 1.3. Curtis calls her out in 2.7. Disguised as Alisha, Lucy forces oral sex on Simon. Although he protests and appears very uncomfortable, he later asks Alisha out. Finn's former "stepmom" starts giving him oral sex even when he says "no" repeatedly. Even he doesn't seem to realise this was rape, and no one else believes his protests that this wasn't what he wanted.

Nathan and Kelly's tentative flirtation. He frequently thinks about having sex with her, only to berate himself when he realises that she can obviously hear his thoughts. It's possibly the embarrassment of this (and their general social ineptitude) that has prevented them from taking their relationship any further thus far...

Shout-Out
 Misfits / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Verging on Reference Overdosed, especially Nathan's dialogue. Word of God suggested that Simon's style and persona was deliberately evocative of Ian Curtis. A Joy Division song plays in the background at one point while Simon sits at his computer. Not only is it a Joy Division song, it's "Atmosphere", the last song released by Joy Division while they were still together, and the one with the repeated line "Walk In Silence". Simon also listens to "Killing Moon" by Echo and the Bunnymen in one episode, suggesting a more than brief flirtation with post-punk. He was also modelled after the 1980's German synth-pop outfit Kraftwerk. There are quite a few joking references to Spider-Man, usually made by Nathan. The scene where Nathan goes bowling in 1.4 contains a major nod to The Big Lebowski. The beginning of this clip is a big Shout Out to American Beauty. Nathan has a lot in common with a certain other wise cracking jerkass who never shuts up. Or another unkillable Irish parasite with a big mouth. Nathan references Kill Bill when he comes back to life in a coffin and tries to escape. "We're like the Mitchell brothers! Only not bald, ugly and shit!" "I See Dead People!" - you just knew he was gonna say it eventually... Superhoodie's lair and a musical motif common throughout the second series call to mind The Dark Knight, while his outfit strongly resembles a League of Shadows ninja from Batman Begins. When a fugitive in a gorilla costume says he's finally found the right girl, you know it won't be too long before he's carrying her up the nearest tall building... 2.6 has a handful of characters being killed off inside The Grand Hotel, as well as the carpet running the length of the hallways being identical to those in The Overlook Hotel. Interestingly, juvenile delinquents gain comic book super powers at the Wertham Community Centre. 3.3 has a guy draw out comic book plots which later happen in real life. The zombie episode, as you'd expect, has several. Things kick off when a run-over cat gets brought back to life. Simon worries that they'll end up the only humans left, hiding in a shopping mall. And of course there's the only way to take them out. Rudy has to confront a zombified version of his worst nightmare. And then there's his ludicrously oversized hammer that he has to drag along the corridors inch by inch... They even remember to use the shrieky howling music riff of Zombies feeding. The Cornetto, as well as Rudy's suggestion that they should wait for the whole thing to blow over. "I don't have a brother, I'm the classic example of an only child" is (aside from a pronoun switch) an exact quotation from The Young Ones, which shares a good few tropes with Misfits. 4.1 has one to The Usual Suspects, with Rudy even mentioning the Unreliable Narrator trope.

Freudian Excuse: Nathan despises his father, and at one point suggests that his own problems are due to the fact that his dad was never around. Also, while Simon never actively blames his psychological issues on his past misfortunes, they do offer quite a solid explanation for his current fragile state.

Series Continuity Error
 Misfits / int_ca95473c
comment
Series Continuity Error: A photo of Curtis touching Alisha during a photoshoot in 1.4. Obviously he shouldn't be able to due to her power or else the photoshoot would inevitably be far more interesting. Another in season 3. Curtis' power has always been Mental Time Travel, but after he sold it to Seth, it turns into physical time travel to anywhere, allowing an old Jewish man to go back to try and kill Hitler by appearing in his office as an old man, and Kelly to go back decades before she was even born. Curiously enough, this isn't the first time this sort of thing has happened when Seth got involved: Nikki's teleportation power was almost impossible to use voluntarily, and often activated when she didn't want it to-hence why she sold it to Seth. When "Jesus" bought the power off Seth, he was apparently able to use it without any of Nikki's old problems.

Trust Password: An ineffective one when the shapeshifter appeared, since it involved one word instead of an exchange and who said it was basically arbitrary. The first character who actually encounters the shape-shifter (Nathan) immediately blurts out "the password is ____", rendering it completely useless. Her momentary confusion doesn't even give him enough time to realize she doesn't know the password and run away.

Capepunk: It's made clear from the very first episode that this show isn't about superheroes, but about five delinquents trying to cope with abilities they never asked for and dealing with all the other superhumans they encounter. Being a Genre Deconstruction on superheroes, it often portrays it's heroes as being incredibly violent and flawed and it's villains as sympathetic victims.

Vitriolic Best Buds: Although none of the group are openly affectionate (or even vaguely respectful) towards each other for the most part, it does become apparent that they genuinely care for one another. Nathan even eventually admits to being fond of Simon, despite spending most of his time belittling the poor guy. In the ASBO-Five timeline, where powers are now public the first person Simon considers asking for help is Nathan, who doesn't even bat an eyelid about letting him kip on his sofa for as long as he wants. This could in fact be because Nathan is a Cloud Cuckoolander, whereas the others would notice that Simon was up to something.

Lamarck Was Right: A bit of a variation. Nikki inherits Ollie's ability to teleport after receiving his heart from a transplant. Alex later gets his power through a lung. The reaction of the girl who approaches him implies that the transferal of powers through transplants is common knowledge at that point.

What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: The cast often run into people with powers that aren't much use or have limited value. Some end up as Heart Is an Awesome Power, such as lactokinesis being really useful for murdering people who aren't lactose intolerant, future-knitting bringing up some fairly useful visions and hypnotic breasts being good for distracting people so you can satanically posses them.

A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Read: Kelly's relationship with her fiance ended because she could hear what he was thinking about her. She is constantly being hurt by the unflattering snap-judgments people make based on her appearance, or startled by their unsavoury thoughts (sometimes both at once). Plus, she tends to react aggressively, which makes her look completely insane and irrational: Also, she's starting to see her dog in a whole new light.

Decon-Recon Switch
 Misfits / int_e0113647
comment
From the first episode the show has mocked the very concept of superheroes and the idea that the Misfits gang could even become superheroes. While this idea has gone through a Decon-Recon Switch at several points, overall the show takes a very cynical view on the idea that anyone has the qualities to be superheroes. The closest to reach it is Superhoodie, but he was Simon from the future and only dedicated to protecting the Stable Time Loop he was in, making him willing to let certain characters die so everything happens as planned. Meanwhile the Jumper Posse was created by Rudy Two based on a prophetic jumper that led him to believe he was meant to help Sam, Karen and Helen to become proper superheroes. However within just a year the trio became supervillains who killed civilians over minor crimes like littering, unable to handle the selfishness and apathy of the people they were meant to protect.

Determinator: The "villain" in episode 4.1. By the end of it he's had a hand chopped off, both testicles removed and his penis mutilated and he's just been thrown off a building, yet still somehow has enough strength left to open the case to have one last feel of his money before he dies. And that goes without saying all the stuff he went through from being hit by the storm to meeting the Misfits in the episode itself, some we only saw glimpses of. His power seems to inspire this effect in those infected with it as well, such as Curtis, who was locked in a freezer for enough time for frost to form on his body, yet able to violently jump out after Jess and Finn opened said freezer before bolting away. Of course, the entire time his focus was completely on the case.

Insane Equals Violent: Zigzagged. Lucy, a psychiatric patient Simon knew from his time in an institution, tries to murder them after mockery from the others and Simon ignoring her. However, he isn't shown as violent in spite of his own mental health issues (or no more than anyone else), nor do the other mental patients we see act this way. It may also be a case of her power allowing Lucy to strike out with more impunity than otherwise that leads to this.

Him saying to his copy "Come on, get back in here" while gesturing to his chest is a more legitimate catchphrase. "Jeeeesus! ". "It doesn't work like that!" said by Curtis in the first two series whenever anyone wants him to deliberately use his power to rewind history to prevent some unfortunate occurrence from happening. "You don't need to behave like this. You can be so much better..."

Laser-Guided Amnesia
 Misfits / int_e7b0229a
comment
When Abby becomes attracted to (and then has sex with) a woman, she (and everyone else) assumes this means she's a lesbian, even though previously she only had sex with men (due to Laser-Guided Amnesia making her forget everything prior to the storm). No one appears to think that she could just be a bisexual, or is even aware of the idea. This could be explained though, in that Abby had been searching for a connection in all of her sexual encounters and had found zero sense of fulfillment by being with any of these men.

Double Standard: Rape, Male on Male
 Misfits / int_ecd78a30
comment
Double Standard: Rape, Male on Male: Alex has anal sex with Finn while the latter is unconscious in 5.1. Yes, it was to rid him of Satan, but even so. Finn is upset by it, naturally, but none of them call it rape. It is debatable, as offhand mentions show he is upset but he realised that it was the best option and it can be argued that he gave retrospective consent. Rudy later calls Alex "The Raper" though, so it is eventually called out just like the last one. Overall there seems to be a strong consensus that Alex taking their power through force is a perfectly acceptable way to deal with someone they can't otherwise beat, as it done again on Sam, in Luke's future and nobody bats an eyelid, despite having also killed the villain in question. Averted in one instance, as Alex is clearly getting ready to fuck the power out of Leah before Finn tells him he's already talked her down and there's no need. Averted with Sally's behaviour towards Simon. Convinced he knows something, she essentially seduces him knowing he has a crush on her. It's portrayed as a dark moment and Simon accidentally killing her in self-defence is shown as Laser-Guided Karma for her.

Can't Have Sex, Ever
 Misfits / int_eee99653
comment
Can't Have Sex, Ever: Oddly enough, the effective result of Alisha's first power. She and Curtis can't have mutually consenting sex. Her pheromone manipulation causes him to forget who he is momentarily. He stops caring about her and just wants to have sex with her, and once the physical contact is broken, he can't remember any of it. Because they want to preserve their emotional connection, they are forced to resort to more unconventional methods of sexual intimacy.

High Turnover Rate: Try to think of an episode where someone does not die, even if it's temporary? Having trouble? Well it's episode 3 in series 1. This trope even gets lampshaded a few times. More specifically, they go through a lot of probation workers. The Misfits are forced to kill two, they kill Shaun in a reversed timeline and then he's finally killed by Jenn as Kelly. It's eventually Played for Laughs - we don't even learn one's name before she's mauled to death by a zombie cheerleader in 3.7.

Powers as Programs
 Misfits / int_f2227354
comment
Powers as Programs: Apparently, getting a heart transplant gives you the donor's powers- albeit in an almost uncontrollable form. In addition Seth can remove others' powers, store them in his body and then grant them to a buyer. If someone with powers takes ecstasy, then their power gets reversed temporarily. For example, Curtis travels forwards in time instead of back, and Alisha inspires revulsion rather than lust. When Alex's power is reversed, all previous powers he has shagged out of people are given to anyone he is having sex with.

Evil Twin
 Misfits / int_f2dadf81

Rudy's power. He can manifest himself into two separate personalities at times of self-doubt and stress. There's a minor aspect of Evil Twin in that when the split happens, one side of him acts even more socially unacceptable while the other acts in a much more sensitive manner. As of season 4, there's an actual Evil Twin triplet Rudy too.

All Your Base Are Belong to Us: Inverted. The Misfits ransack Superhoodie's flat for clues, and Nathan takes a dump in his bed. Oops, that should read what they thought was Superhoodie's flat. More conventionally, both Virtue Girl and "Jesus" have based themselves in the community centre. In the alternative world where the Nazis won, the community centre is the local Nazi Party base and prison.

Suspiciously Similar Substitute
 Misfits / int_f5a3e496
comment
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: All main characters from the first two series have been replaced over the course of series 3 and 4 by characters who occupy similar roles in the ensemble, but have different enough personalities. Nathan left after Series 2, and was replaced by Rudy, an equally mouthy character who, like Nathan, has the habit of saying outrageous things. Subverted slightly in that Rudy is a more complex character with multiple facets (made literal different people by the Storm). Simon, Alisha and Kelly left after Series 3. Series 4 introduced Finn (another socially awkward guy with hidden depths), Abby (another promiscuous party girl with hidden depths), and Jess (Another no-nonsense, rude girl). Note that despite being Kelly's Spiritual Successor, Jess takes Alisha's place romance-wise, and, just like Alisha, starts dating the handsome/athletic guy in the gang (Curtis and Alex, respectively), before ending up with the apparently weirder one (Simon and Rudy, respectively). Series 4 introduced Alex, the handsome barman, and then killed off Curtis the athletic barman. Alex joined he gang full-time for series 5.

Magical Abortion: Curtis gets Seth to take back his power to change sex in exchange for taking on the Back from the Dead power Seth just acquired, which undoes his self-impregnation. Abby later gets impregnated after a nervous pregnant woman accidentally transfers her baby to her, who then transfers it back in the end.

Earn Your Happy Ending: In 1.4, Curtis uses his power several times, first to prevent his girlfriend Sam from being sent to prison, later to keep his friends from getting killed by Tony. He has to try it a few times before he gets it all right, but eventually he succeeds. Until he discovers that now he's still dating his ex AND Alisha.

Attempted Rape
 Misfits / int_f85354eb
comment
Attempted Rape: Alisha's power is the ability to induce irresistible lust for her in others. However, she can't turn her power off, which as a result causes her to suffer this. Which caused her to realize that the "fun" she'd been having early on with abusing her powers was pretty nasty to the people on the receiving end who had their ability to consent stripped away. Melissa and Emma in 3.2 at the hands of their would-be rapist coach. It's downplayed because of Double Standard: Rape, Male on Male and because he went down on her (instead of forcing her to pleasure him), but this also coincides with one of Rudy's lowest and most despicable moments as he found the drugged and barely conscious Melissa!Curtis and started giving her oral sex even as she weakly protested. It looked like Greg was going this way with Finn but his telekinesis flared up and knocked him over some railings.

Running Gag
 Misfits / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: Nathan deliberately calling Simon "Barry". "I really want to shag her... oh shit, she can hear that!" "WHEN WILL I LEARN?!?!?" The group have their more quiet bonding experiences, usually when disposing of dead probation workers. Series 2 is having Nathan repeatedly refuse to do something dangerous or confront the villain because it might kill him, leading to one of the others (usually Curtis) exasperated reply of "You're IMMORTAL!". Nathan often points out that it still hurts. And then subverted when Nathan finally stands down a gunman in the Christmas episode. Nathan forgetting (well, not bothering to remember) someone's name, and Simon reminding him. Gets to the point where Nathan leaves a pause for Simon to fill in the name. "Prick!" The death of their probation workers becomes this. In Season 1, killing a probation worker is a major deal. In Season 3, a probation worker is introduced just so she can get eaten by a zombie cheerleader. Whenever Nathan says, "These are my friends.", it is immediately followed up by Alisha saying "I'm not your friend." 5.3 has a single-episode one:

Accidental Murder
 Misfits / int_fd497706
comment
Accidental Murder: Kind of a plot-motor here. The Misfits kill a lot of people. Curtis has on multiple occasions warned them ahead of the crime that somebody must die for the greater good. Becomes somewhat of a prominent theme of the third season finale. It is frequently brought up for black comedy purposes. For instance, when Nathan claims that they're the good guys because they don't murder anyone, Curtis reminds him that they've actually killed quite a few people, but Nathan brushes it off with "we didn't mean to." Additionally when Finn starts getting a bit idealistic, Alex responds with "We kill people. Frequently." Subverted in episode 4.5. Finn thinks he killed Greg and they go as far as putting him in the hole they dug before they figure out that he's alive.

comment
Brick Joke: A very dark one comes in Series 2. Nikki tells Curtis that someone with his power would normally use it to travel back in time to kill Hitler. He can't, since he can only time travel to change events he feels guilty about. Come the Christmas Episode and Seth, the powers dealer, says he sold Curtis' power to an old Jewish man planning to do just that. Since he's a Holocaust survivor with Survivor's Guilt, he can go back to before it happened and try to stop it. We actually get to see the attempt and how it turns out in Series 3. In the first episode, Nathan guesses that his power is flight, as "there's always one who can fly". No luck, all the way until series 5, when it's shown a man can fly. Throughout series 1 multiple characters ask what Nathan did to get community service. His answer is always the same- he stole some pick'n'mix but given that he's The Gadfly no one believes him. Come episode four we find out that he really was done in for stealing some pick'n'mix, of course he left out the whole part about him being a nuisance who harassed the manager but even Nathan was surprised to be told that this was a jailable offense.
