With Great Power: The power of the hero books are just as capable of being abused as they are able to be used for good, which the heroes themselves lampshade whenever the wielders of their books want to do something that Scott would never approve of. Sadly, many wielders aren’t as responsible as Mike and end up using them for their own selfish desires, prompting Mike to retrieve as many as he can from them. The masked vigilante X is also collecting them for the same reason, except she’s just as bad if not worse in regards to causing mass destruction as Mike points out. Fortunately, Lucy reevaluates her methods with help from Mike and vows to start using her heroes in ways that don't endanger innocent people.

Anonymous Benefactor: The mysterious man who gives Dirk extra hero books to use in his quest for world domination. Even more mysterious is him somehow being able to go toe-to-toe with heroes despite being a human and the wheelchair-bound old lady that's always with him. He turns out to be Super Scott, who is heavily implied to be behind Scott's kidnapping and has plans of spreading the hero books to all corners of the world. The old lady meanwhile is revealed to be his book wielder.

He Who Fights Monsters
 Hero Inside / int_2c1f1138
comment
He Who Fights Monsters: Appears to be a recurring theme throughout the first season. Dirk and his Council of Comics were people who using the hero books sought revenge on those who mistreated them for their nerdy interests, but in doing so they became far worse than their assaulters as Mike points out to them. Ed had been using the Disco Duo to get revenge on the bullies who made his life a living hell, until his confrontation with Mike makes him realize that he's become no better than those he targets and willingly surrenders his hero book. Lucy was instructed by her uncle to retrieve all the hero books so their power wouldn't be abused, but became so fixated on her mission that she failed to realize that she had been causing just as if not more collateral damage than those she fights and putting dozens of innocent people in harm's way. Fortunately, she sees the error of her ways thanks to Mike and vows to use her heroes in less destructive ways.

Fantasy-Forbidding Father: Lucy's father never approved of Scott's comic business or wanted Lucy hanging around him out of the belief that his brother would be a bad influence on her. This didn't stop Lucy and Scott from doing so anyway under the respective aliases "X" and "Super Scott", the latter becoming the name for one of Scott's comic book heroes, until Scott disappeared after being kicked out for disregarding his brother’s wishes. Then two months prior to the start of the series, Lucy received a letter from her long-lost uncle telling her to protect the hero books from those who would misuse them, inspiring Lucy to collect them all as X believing it would bring her closer to finding him.

Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Scott was always seen as the more irresponsible sibling between him and Lucy's father, especially after his comic writing got him fired from his old job. It was because of this that Scott was forbidden from being around Lucy lest he become a bad influence on her and was eventually kicked out for disregarding his brother’s wishes, leading to his disappearance in the present day.

Beware the Silly Ones
 Hero Inside / int_6c75e0e4
comment
Beware the Silly Ones: Several heroes like Crying Man and Ginseng Man are rather quirky and/or have outlandish powers, but they're no slouches in fights. Dirk spends most of the first season being a Laughably Evil antagonist who (deservedly) suffers one misfortune after another. Then comes the final battle between him and Mike, where he's not only able to summon and control two heroes at once when most are limited to just one, but can combine their powers to make a bomb powerful enough to wipe the whole city off the map. Good thing Mike and his heroes were able to disarm it in time.

Bolt of Divine Retribution: Parodied with Sparkules' Comicalization ability where he calls out to his father Zeus to help him deliver one to his opponents, only for Zeus to retort that Sparkules actually isn't his son nor did he ever want a son like him and zaps him alongside the intended targets.

Ed had been using the Disco Duo to get revenge on the bullies who made his life a living hell, until his confrontation with Mike makes him realize that he's become no better than those he targets and willingly surrenders his hero book.

Anti-Hero: X, a mysterious masked woman who is going around retrieving hero books from those who are using them irresponsibly. Except she causes just as much if not more collateral damage as those she fights and doesn’t care that innocent people could get hurt or even killed, which as Mike points out is the exact opposite of what a real hero does. Her real identity is Lucy, who turns out to be Scott’s niece who has been searching for him ever since he disappeared. Her obsession with finding her uncle ended up making her lose sight that the hero books were created for the purpose of helping people, but thankfully comes back to her senses with help from Mike and now strives to become genuinely heroic.

Beyond the Impossible: Dirk being able to summon and Comicalize two heroes at once, much to Lucy's bafflement when every hero book wielder seen so far has only ever been able to use one at a time. Mike then one-ups him by mustering enough power to summon and Comicalize five of his own heroes to use their combined abilities to defuse Dirk's bomb before it has a chance to go off.

What the Hell, Hero?: Mike calls out X at several points for not caring about all the destruction she’s caused in her pursuit of the comics, especially in “Give Me My Gloves� where she almost gets dozens of people hurt or killed by a runaway tram. Lucy eventually admits that Mike was right after he defeats her in "Top of Coil Tower", having realized that her obsession with gathering the comics caused her to lose sight of the fact that her uncle created them to help people. She thanks Mike for helping her come back to her senses and becomes more open to working with him.

 Hero Inside / int_eff83d77
comment
Mundane Utility: Mike using Crying Man to do his chores like washing the outside of the house, which Nick admonishes him for. The episode "Can You Water My Plants?" revolves around various hero book wielders doing this with their heroes, such as an old lady who uses Mr. Justice to clean up her garden and fight off raccoons. A villainous example occurs in the same episode with an office clerk-turned pickpocket who uses Hummingbird Man to rob his targets, much to the latter’s dismay as he considers doing so to be a squandering of his powers.
