Cape politics, factions, rivalries, information warfare, and the individual problems of the people beneath the costumes put even the heroes in something of a gray area. Taylor's actions in the midst of this leave her in a situation where she's forced to make some hard choices, facing the reality of having to do the wrong things for the right reasons. Bullying has also been featured as a major element in the plot and character development of the main character.

Over the first few plot arcs, though, the story shifts away from the hellish landscape that is contemporary high school towards the more uplifting setting of a bombed out city at the mercy of a roving band of psychopaths.

Something of a bonus feature, if you're into story analysisnote And if you're reading this, you probably are One of Us, is the staggering amount of stuff in the comments to each episode. They span from meta- analysis, wild mass guessing from spot on to crackpot, Dark Comedy, to short stories in their own right.

Further Note: On trope pages, if you see a Worm example under Web Original, please move it to Literature. Taylor is the only Undersider who had caring parents, and it shows in how she acts. Adaptive Ability: Crawler's power. He obsessively seeks destructive powers strong enough to hurt him despite his own now- ridiculous durability, so that he can become stronger. Adults Are Useless: Played straight with Mr. Gladly and Taylor's head teacher. It's played with in regards to the other adult characters. It's tragically telling that when Taylor finally meets a genuine Reasonable Authority Figure, she suspects she's under some mental compulsion. Aerith and Bob: Rachel's dogs are named Brutus, Judas, and Angelica. Justified, she didn't choose the name. Aerosol Flamethrower: Skitter creates one of these note in Monarch 1. Molotov Cocktail with pepper spray. Agony Beam: Bakuda turns the tables on Taylor and her team using a grenade that has this effect. Also, one of Butcher's attacks. The Alcatraz: The Birdcage, a prison fitted into a mountain where a hole in a wall creates a deadly vacuum. It is designed to only have people go in and not come out. Despite the powerful people it holds, no one has ever escaped. Until Khepri got around to breaking people out using Doormaker's powers. All There in the Manual: All Up to You: Taylor is forced to take the initiative and lead the fight against Behemoth as everyone else who could lead is either dead or incapacitated as the fight grows increasingly desperate. Alternate Timeline: Scion and other powered individuals started to show up during the early 8. Endbringers' presence in particular has caused some major changes. Japan isn't a world power due to a past attack, several parts of the world are simply gone, and the US has a lot of Asian immigrants from devastated parts of the world.

Perhaps on a more mixed level, comics in the Wormverse never quite got to the bronze age, likely due to the presence of parahumans. Alternate Universe: A multitude of parallel versions of the main setting, Earth Bet, have been confirmed to exist. Earth Aleph was contacted via an accidental hole torn in reality by a Tinker in 1. There's communication and an exchange of news and media between them, and yes, they botched the Star Wars prequels too. Doormaker's power enables movement between Earths, while living off of multiple versions of planets is how the Worms survive. Additionally, Scrub and Labyrinth made Tattletale's gate to a world without people. There's a twist on the Alternate Universe. Unlike in a lot of fiction, where the alternate universe is filled with the same people, only slightly different, the alternate realities have the same people up to a very clear point of divergence. Immediately after that point of divergence, any person conceived is distinctly different from that in another timeline, simply because of the butterfly effect. Always a Bigger Fish: Before the events of the story, one of Glaistig Uaine's victims was Gray Boy. Ambiguous Innocence: Bonesaw in a nutshell. She's one of the worst serial killers in the Wormverse, but she doesn't necessarily do what she does because of malice. Rather, she feels the idea of a concrete moral system is absurd and doesn't apply to her, and she does what she does because she finds it fun and interesting. Bonesaw laughed, and it was a sound without reservations, not shaped by social constraint or culture or self- censorship. It was the laugh of a child, free and without a care. And I Must Scream: What Shadow Stalker must have been feeling when Regent had control over her. And, oh god, Grue after he was caught by Bonesaw. Cherish, after she was caught by Bonesaw. And Blasto after he was caught by.. Pretty much everyone she catches, in fact. When we see Gray Boy's power, we see that it is obviously suited to the purpose. Aside from the fact that his victims can still technically scream. Most of the surviving cast experience this once Taylor's power is jailbroken, as they're all controlled by her against their will, at least for a while. And the Adventure Continues: The last epilogue shows the Undersiders gearing up to kick Teacher in the balls, metaphorically and probably literally as well. Animal- Themed Superbeing: Averted in the present day but Taylor mentions that in the past many heroes went the easy route and stuck - hawk or some other bird of prey on the end of their names (e. Laserhawk, Flame Falcon, Steel Eagle, Cockatoo, etc.) before it became unfashionable. Another Dimension: The story takes place on Earth Bet, which has a certain amount of communication with Earth Aleph since 1. Haywire — limited to data, but enough to transfer (among other, more important things) the alternate- universe versions of the Star Wars prequel trilogy, Episodes 1 and 2 of which the Undersiders watch in Agitation 3. Annoying Arrows: Not so annoying, in fact: Shadow Stalker, a former vigilante hero in Brockton Bay, became a probationary member of the Wards after nearly killing someone by pinning him to the wall with one of her crossbow bolts, and as such restricted to using nonlethal bolts. When that's no longer possible one becomes an Omnicidal Maniac. Anti- Hero: Something of a rule, given the setting — examples can be found somewhere among the cast of every subtrope. Anti- Villain: The Undersiders and the Travelers. In some ways, Cauldron. Anyone Can Die: Apocalypse How: The world is in the process of a protracted Class 2 at the hands of the Endbringers. Each attack kills massive amounts of people, sometimes millions, and they will keep coming until they inevitably kill everyone in the world. Toward the end, Scion also inflicts varying levels of devastation on the alternate Earths he attacks, ranging from Class 2 to Class 4, except the destruction is caused over the course of a few days rather than 2. Appeal to Force: Somewhat played with. Skitter likes to resort to threats because she does not really like to hurt people, and hopes that scaring them off would avoid lethal consequences. For example, when she finds three ex- ABB gang members threatening her deputies: Skitter: It won't be pretty. Brown recluse venom makes your muscles necrotize. That means it decays while you're still alive. It takes days, but the only real cure is taking a knife to the area around the bite. That might be okay if you have one bite, carve out a half- pound of flesh, let the wound drain, stitch it up. But what if you have three or four bites? It's excruciatingly painful. Nothing you experienced during your initiation into the ABB even compares, I can guarantee it. You're rotting alive, your flesh turning black as it liquefies. So maybe you shoot me. Maybe you even kill me, though I doubt it. Either way, whether I walk away from here alive or not, you get bitten. They're already on you. All three of you. Arbitrary Skepticism: In a world where huge numbers of people have powers that flat- out defy the laws of physics, everyone still thinks the capes who interpret their powers as magical are completely bonkers. While they're technically correct to dismiss magic, this still bites them in the ass — aside from a very thin coating of supernatural interpretation, Glaistig Uaine was one of the few people who knew exactly what was going on, and everybody ignored her solely because she used the word 'fairy' instead of 'alien'. Armed Blag: When the Undersiders are contemplating a Bank Robbery in Agitation 3. Alec asks why they don't hit an armored car instead.
