| Love and Capes (Webcomic) | comment |
Abby Tennyson is starting a relationship with her accountant, Mark Spencer. Sure, he's a bit clumsy, busy at odd times, and very different from the sort of guys she usually dates, but there's a real connection there. And Mark, for his part, loves her dearly. He just has to get ready to tell her the biggest secret of his life.He's actually the Crusader, one of the world's most powerful superheroes.Love and Capes is, at its heart, a romantic comedy that shows the progress of Abby and Mark's relationship—the mundane (dealing with Mark's highly critical mother), the not-so-mundane (such as the fact that one of Mark's ex-girlfriends is Amazonia, who has much the same power set as him and who wants to get back together with him), and the more four-color problems that only superheroes have to deal with (an Evil Twin and the like).Love and Capes was originally a twelve-issue print comic by artist Thom Zahler, with two followup miniseries, Ever After and What to Expect. Zahler has begun posting it online as a webcomic here. The series has returned again with The Family Way (2020) showing Mark and Abby raising little James and Hayley; and In the Time (2020-2021), now in progress, about how our heroes deal with the COVID-19 Pandemic. You can read it serialized here for free. | |

Tempting Fate: When Abby sees a comic convention while shopping for wedding cakes with Mark, she asks to go in, and asks "How bad could it be?" Three panels later (not pages; panels), she gets her answer. | |

Fridge Horror: Abby realizes it In-Universe when Mark is explaining why Dr. Karma is using a spell to suppress their baby's potential powers in utero. Mark asks Abby if she remembers when, as Crusader, he did a ceremonial opening kickoff for a football game. When she recalls that he literally booted the ball out of the stadium, Mark points out "Babies kick, too." | |

| Love and Capes (Webcomic) / int_1c3d047e | comment |
The Rival: Amazonia for Abby; eventually, the two women mellow out toward each other. Yes, alcohol was involved. Amazonia from an alternate timeline later reveals that this was mutual - she clung to the hopes that she'd get back together with Crusader, and she was intensely jealous to see him with a cute little blonde. | |

I Need a Freaking Drink | |
| Love and Capes (Webcomic) / int_1f250372 | comment |
I Need a Freaking Drink: Amazonia's response to discussing temporal anomalies and trying to make sense of them is to have alcohol on hand when she knows they're coming up. Played for laughs silently after Abby's dress fitting. When he learns that Abby and Amazonia have buried the hatchet and bonded over drinks by talking about him, Mark immediately takes a large swig of booze that could render Amazonia (who has a similar power set) blitzed, even though he can't get drunk. | |

Crimefighting with Cash | |
| Love and Capes (Webcomic) / int_21889138 | comment |
Crimefighting with Cash: Darkblade, as befitting a Batman Captain Ersatz, although his wealth is used more as a punchline than a frequent focus. That said, he's shown also using his cash to set up other heroes (most prominently, Arachnerd) financially so that money issues don't distract them from crime-fighting. | |

Failed a Spot Check | |
| Love and Capes (Webcomic) / int_21e5b9c7 | comment |
Failed a Spot Check: Mark mentions this in hindsight on their wedding day. He says he always wondered why Abby kissed him twice on their first date. More importantly, he never questioned why Abby had changed clothes. It was actually an Abby from the future who came back to save Crusader's life from an assassination attempt. Needless to say, she succeeded with The Big Damn Kiss. | |

Captain Ersatz | |
| Love and Capes (Webcomic) / int_25b5600 | comment |
While Crusader is certainly popular enough, both among the populace at large and amongst other heroes, his endorsement deals (comics, movies, etc.) are fairly pitiful compared to other heroes'. He's particularly resentful towards the popularity of Arachnerd's movie, doubled because his best friend Darkblade actually financed the movie. He mellows out somewhat on the issue, particularly when he learns that Arachnerd, as a Captain Ersatz of Spider-Man, was struggling to make ends meet and balance his social life with his heroing life before the endorsement deal. It also didn't help that at the time that the movie came out, it was his tenth anniversary of becoming the Crusader, and no one noticed. Imagine if everyone forgot your 30th birthday, and you get a glimpse of what he was feeling. | |

"Freaky Friday" Flip | |
| Love and Capes (Webcomic) / int_36754cc7 | comment |
When Mark and Abby undergo a "Freaky Friday" Flip due to Tiki magic, one of the rare good things they use this temporary state of affairs to do is experience making love as the opposite sex (Charlotte thinks it's gross, but they point out "Wouldn't you be curious too?"). Notable in that they are also averting No Pregger Sex at the same time, as Abby's body is seven months pregnant. | |

Death Is Cheap | |
| Love and Capes (Webcomic) / int_37fcf16 | comment |
Death Is Cheap: Discussed and deconstructed. It's noted at Windstar's funeral that many people think this way about superheroes, and folks are flippant about a hero's return. However, it's all too painful and real for the family of the deceased. However, the heroes are willing to indulge in some Black Humor about it - Doctor Karma has apparently Come Back Wrong once (though he stresses that his Spirit of Vengeance return was just the one time), and there's a rule regarding funerals (namely, if you've had at least 3, the others have a 90-day waiting period before conducting another for you) named after him. | |

Friend-or-Idol Decision: Amazonia and Darkblade face one - Amazonia is due to be crowned the new queen of Leandia, and they have to either have her renounce the crown and accept exile from her home, him give up his crimefighting and the Darkblade legacy, or they'd have to break up. In part because she much prefers life on Earth to Leandia even without the burden of leadership, Amazonia gives up the crown. | |

Power Perversion Potential: A mild example. Abby hints to Mark that if he flies her to work that morning instead of her going in normally, they have twenty extra minutes (to fool around). There are semi-regular reminders that this is not a one-off. When Mark and Abby undergo a "Freaky Friday" Flip due to Tiki magic, one of the rare good things they use this temporary state of affairs to do is experience making love as the opposite sex (Charlotte thinks it's gross, but they point out "Wouldn't you be curious too?").

Smug Super | |
| Love and Capes (Webcomic) / int_4f88342a | comment |
Smug Super: Amazonia. Her perspective being skewed this way is why Mark broke up with her, and worse, because she doesn't consider normalcy important she never understood why they drifted apart - in fact her book cuts this out entirely, not for spite but because she legitimately didn't think it was important. She gets better about it as the series goes on. | |

10-Minute Retirement: When Amazonia has to become queen following her mother's stroke, her sister Oriana has to fill in on Earth. At the coronation, however, Zoe declines the crown and returns home, while Oriana becomes the new Queen of Leandia. When Abby's due date draws nearer, Mark considers giving up the Crusader mantle to spend more time with his son. Abby tells him that while it's sweet that he would make such a sacrifice, she married him fully for the Crusader and Mark side of him. | |

The Un-Reveal | |
| Love and Capes (Webcomic) / int_5a3b8032 | comment |
The Unreveal: Mark wasn't born with superpowers - and apparently, the story of how he got them is somewhat embarrassing. The comic has a bit of fun not telling us his secret origin - the one time he says it onscreen, he's whispering to Abby and the text box is gibberishnote Word of God is that his powers were going to be granted by exposure to a meteorite, but after My Super Ex-Girlfriend came out, he ditched it and kept it this trope. | |

False Reassurance | |
| Love and Capes (Webcomic) / int_5a963d1c | comment |
False Reassurance: When Amazonia is watching Abby and Mark together, she asks if she will ever walk down the aisle like that with someone she loves. Her mother says in response that many women in their family have done well and are unmarried. (It doesn't help that at least several of Amazonia's older sisters are married with kids.) | |

Required Secondary Powers | |
| Love and Capes (Webcomic) / int_5b6e57e | comment |
Required Secondary Powers: As time goes on, some of the side effects of Mark's Nigh-Invulnerable status are noted - he metabolizes food too quickly to be affected by particular side effects, so both alcohol and caffeine do nothing to him. He also doesn't notice temperature differences nearly as much as a normal person. Finally, while he can get a suntan, he literally has to be about a foot away from the sun to do so. Often, it's revealed that Abby doesn't have these, usually for humor. Such as when Mark and Abby spend an evening in Maui, she comes back with a hard-to-explain tan, or the Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex example above. | |

Cold Turkeys Are Everywhere: Abby has to give up caffeine at one point due to pregnancy. Naturally, a deluxe coffee-maker, which had been back-ordered for over a year, finally arrives at Abby's bookstore. She also recognizes the problems with this and asks Mark to not drink coffee at home - and then proceeds to linger on his "welcome home" kiss to enjoy the taste of coffee on his breath. | |

Fantastic Time Management: Crusader forgets to do his own taxes until 11:30 p.m. on April 15. He has to have them finished and in the mail by midnight. Even using his super-speed powers, he is unable to finish them until 2 a.m. the next day. This is no problem, since he lives in the Eastern time zone; he just flies at super speed to the west coast, and mails his taxes in before midnight Pacific time. | |

Brought Down to Normal: Mark gives up his powers for 24 hours so that he can have a day without interruption with Abby. Unlike many examples, though, it's not problematic (it wears off right on schedule, and Darkblade covers for him). This also happens when he and Abby switch bodies. | |

Beardness Protection Program | |
| Love and Capes (Webcomic) / int_6a0f3c49 | comment |
Beardness Protection Program: Subverted. Mark chose for the Crusader to not wear a mask, as it helps to humanize the world's most powerful hero and connect with people; masks tend to be intimidating. However, that also means that it limits his grooming options in maintaining his secret identity. He is at first reluctant to wear a medical mask for the reasons mentioned and the fact that his body cannot harbor the Covid-19 virus anyway, until Darkblade points out that if both of his identities wear a mask, Mark is free to grow a beard like he's always wanted. | |

Double Standard: Rape, Sci-Fi: Narrowly defied. When Psi-Clone impersonates Mark, he carries on an affair with Amazonia. Amazonia refuses to take it beyond kissing and tells "Mark" he should break up with Abby to be fair to his fiancee. Darkblade then tells her it was an impostor, muddling her up further. If he had gone further, it's unlikely Darkblade and Amazonia would have let him simply forget the memories while in superhero custody. Amazonia's Death Glare makes it clear that Psi-Clone is lucky he's behind bars. | |

He pretty much ignores what anyone else might want, and it grates on his entire family to no end. Even his mother isn't shy about slipping a shot at him in for the hell of it. He's also the last to learn about Mark's super identity, only learning at the comic's original finale. | |

Crusader relates to Darkblade that James had figured out how to lock someone out of his online schooling program, by inputting the password wrong five times. As the only error you receive is "invalid password", it took his parents two weeks to figure out what happened. (Crusader is also unamused at how proud Darkblade is of James' cleverness.) | |

It's the Principle of the Thing: Discussed in a positive way; Mark points out that he doesn't need to wear a mask because he can't get sick with COVID or unwittingly carry it, and he chose not to wear a traditional mask because people would be scared of himnote This is the modern explanation for why the guy he is an Expy of doesn't wear a mask as well. Abby replies that he would set a good example for others if he wore one, for those that are immunocompromised or plain stubborn. Mark admits that she's right and masks up appropriately in and out of costume. | |

When her verbal attempts in disguise and phone calls fail, she takes off her hologram and kisses Mark as herself. They make out and he only leaves at midnight, with the death weapon having only one shot and a minute of time. Abby then ends up back in her timeline, and late to the wedding. | |

Several people fall, causing her to give a Big "NO!" as she surges forward to rescue them. She tearfully tells Mark that fifteen people were in the air, but she only rescued fourteen of them. Mark gives her utmost sympathy, knowing that's the hardest part of being hero. | |

Flying Brick | |
| Love and Capes (Webcomic) / int_a51b63ed | comment |
Flying Brick: Crusader's basic power set, though he has super-senses, as befits a Superman Expy. No Heat Vision, though. Amazonia, being a Captain Ersatz of Wonder Woman, similarly has the base flight/strength/speed power set as well (though like Wondy, she lacks any sense-boosting powers). | |

No-Sell: Doc Karma, for some reason, can't read Abby's mind. At all. At one point she uses this to convince an alternate timeline Doc Karma that she's telling the truth about how she knows various superheroic identities. | |

Oh, Crap!: Abby has a few moments when she gets reminders of some of the four-color superhero issues that are now part of her life because of her relationship with Mark. The first such incident happens when she watches one of his super battles on television - that's when she learns that he might be extremely resilient, but he's not Nigh-Invulnerable. The sight of Mark bleeding horrifies her. | |

In-story, another example is Major Might, who clearly idolizes Crusader. He's actually a double example, as he's a kid who wished for the power set of his idol, and he's grown up in his super identity, so in-story, he's a copy of Crusader, while he's also a copy of Billy Batson/Captain Marvel with a different origin story. | |

Must Have Caffeine: Abby. It becomes especially apparent in What to Expect when she has to have to give up coffee while pregnant. After being temporarily bodyswapped with Mark, she realizes she can have coffee again; her reaction nearly deafens Paul. The word 'coffee' is mentioned in the kitchen every morning, so Mark and Abby aren't shocked that it becomes their daughter's Hayley first word. | |

Legacy Character: Discussed at Windstar's funeral - his niece also has his powerset, and she thought Mark was trying to recruit her to become the next Windstar. Mark notes that it shouldn't be done because of a sense of obligation, but only if the legacy feels it's who they are. Windstar's niece does decide to become a hero, but with a different name and costume that evoked, but doesn't match, her uncle's identity. | |

I Just Want to Be Special: Abby wants to learn what Mark goes through as a superhero, so she goes to Doctor Karma (the one who temporarily removed Mark's powers) to get her own. Be Careful What You Wish For, though. Temporarily get her own, mind. Contrary to what's usually the case with this trope, Abby wasn't interested in having powers, just in understanding Mark better. Which is why Doctor Karma can oblige. Love is one hell of a power-source, apparently. | |

Superpowers for a Day: Abby has Doc Karma grant her temporary superpowers so she can understand life as a superhero. Her intention was for it to be literally this trope's name - having superpowers for 24 hours. Just after she drinks the triggering potion, she learns the actual time-limit is non-existent. She'll have the powers until she decides she doesn't want them. Which she does, at the end of that story-arc. | |

Steven Ulysses Perhero: Easy to overlook, as it's downplayed, but Doc Karma's civilian identity is Doctor Carmody. Might be justified, as he does not use anything to hide his face - no Clark Kenting for him - so he probably uses spells to prevent civilians from making the connection, and it extends to his name as well as his face. | |

Mundane Utility | |
| Love and Capes (Webcomic) / int_eff83d77 | comment |
Mundane Utility: Super-Speed — great not only for saving people fast and getting to where you're needed quickly, but also great for finishing your secret identity's accounting job in a fraction of the time. Also, as Mark says, having Super-Strength means never having to pay retail for a diamond (it's easy to get a good-sized one for an engagement ring when you can just make them by hand). Also flying you and your girlfriend to Maui for some swimming before work the next day. Subverted at one point - Mark points out that Super-Speed just lets him do things in less time - it's not any less boring. A villainous example with Psi-Clone on two counts. He uses the magnetic resonance vision stolen from duplicating Mark to clean up playing cards in Vegas... and he also uses the accounting knowledge his duplication rig stole from Mark to more effectively hide those winnings. Abby, a bibliophile, spends her first night with Super-Speed after getting powers from Doc Karma reading basically every book in her store. Mark admits that he did pretty much the same thing when he first got powers. | |

She still has to go into exile, but her sister Oriana vows to work on changing the law. The revived comic shows that not only is she able to visit home for two weeks, but she also regained the right to wear her tiara (and likely her royal title to go with it). | |

Hard-Drinking Party Girl | |

Hard-Drinking Party Girl: To hear Abby tell it, she was one in her collegiate days. For the most part, it doesn't come up during the comic - but it's worth noting that the only time she ever gets hungover during the comic's run is the time she matches drinks with Amazonia with alcohol powerful enough to make the latter drunk. | |

Dude, Where's My Respect? | |
| Love and Capes (Webcomic) / int_f818b637 | comment |
Dude, Where's My Respect?: While Crusader is certainly popular enough, both among the populace at large and amongst other heroes, his endorsement deals (comics, movies, etc.) are fairly pitiful compared to other heroes'. He's particularly resentful towards the popularity of Arachnerd's movie, doubled because his best friend Darkblade actually financed the movie. He mellows out somewhat on the issue, particularly when he learns that Arachnerd, as a Captain Ersatz of Spider-Man, was struggling to make ends meet and balance his social life with his heroing life before the endorsement deal. It also didn't help that at the time that the movie came out, it was his tenth anniversary of becoming the Crusader, and no one noticed. Imagine if everyone forgot your 30th birthday, and you get a glimpse of what he was feeling. Amazonia also gets this on her homeworld. Due to being the youngest in a large family, she's pretty much ignored until her mother gets a stroke and she has to fill in as queen. As she points out to Abby, she's living in another dimension and doing much better. | |

Evil Is Petty | |

Evil Is Petty: When Evil Brain possesses a jogger, the first thing he does is insult Joggers, before ordering a "Cheesy Onion Bacon Loaf." Keep in mind that this is his first appearance in the comic, and he has previously been built up to Doctor Doom levels of supervillainy. | |
