All My Friends are Superheroes

Product Information

Brutal Honesty: Kagami doesn't seem to have a filter of any kind; if she has something on her mind, she'll generally blurt it out without considering the consequences or if the words hurt anybody. Support Party Member: Downplayed. Viperion's special power makes him more suited to a supporting role, even though he has the same enhanced strength and reflexes as any Miraculous holder. Putting himself in battle only risks him being disabled and the advantage of his Time Rewind Mechanic going with him. Ascended Fanboy: In "Anansi" when Alya's sister becomes akumatized, Nino receives the Turtle Miraculous and becomes Carapace. Unequal Pairing: Adrien's shitty childhood means he'll always be a bit more emotionally dependent on Marinette than she is on him.

Andrew Kaufman (Author of All My Friends are Superheroes)

Good with Numbers: Max is very good in mathematics, as seen when he figures out how fast Kim needs to be to make it to Pont des Arts right before Chloé gets there in "Dark Cupid". Punny Name: His name is a play on "No Life". "Nolife" was a French TV network about pop culture "for geeks, nerds and otakus", representing his geeky type.

Polymouse (Mylène Haprèle)

Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl: Zigzagged. Both are encouraging towards one another when the other is feeling forlorn, but usually Marinette is a sweet and compassionate person (Gentle Girl) and Adrien has a boatload of parental issues with his time as Cat Noir being a way to actually be himself (Brooding Boy). However, due to the duo's complicated relationship, which has them being close but at the same time not being close to one another, leads to neither one having open and proper conversations. Everyone Can See It: Most characters notice what great chemistry Luka and Marinette share, and frequently remark what a cute couple they'd make. A few characters (Kagami and Bob Roth) even mistake them for a couple! Subverted when they actually get together at the end of Season 3, but played straight when they break up soon after. To Chloé— Both are teenaged girls from well-off families who have a romantic interest in Adrien—but Chloé is a Spoiled Brat who acts like she's already Adrien's girlfriend (despite his feelings on the matter) while Kagami is an all around much better (if somewhat cold) person who doesn't feel entitled to Adrien's affection and Adrien has actually shown a modicum of interest in her. The Reliable One: Part of what draws Marinette to Luka (especially over Season 3) is how dependable he is. As Marinette notes, he's always there for her and she can count on him for anything. This helps him stand out from Adrien, whose strict home life and obliviousness to her feelings, while not his fault, often leave her feeling miserable. Come season 5, he's even dependable enough to hear Marinette out with regards to her love life, despite being her ex... and Adrien, her new boyfriend. He'll even have a heart-to-heart with his own father, Jagged Stone, wondering about how to be a good dad after all that and then his assistant over being in love with Jagged.

Adrien is his dad's prized model and the face of many products and marketing in Paris. Ask his tons and tons of devoted fans. Somewhat downplayed as Cat Noir, since while he's still appreciated as one of Paris' heroes, many people easily treat him somewhat as Ladybug's office boy/assistant. The Atoner: She attempts to take on Ikari Gozen alone since she was responsible for her Akumatization. It doesn't work, although she succeeds when she follows Ladybug's plan (where she's the star player). Handshake Substitute: Ladybug and Cat Noir often do a fist bump to celebrate having vanquished the Villain of the Week.The Fettered: Depending on character interpretation either played straight or downplayed. As Ladybug and Cat Noir, they stand for responsibility and justice, and protect Paris against Hawk Moth and his Villain of the Week. Living Lie Detector: Downplayed, but Luka has the uncanny ability to hear people's "inner music," or sense their inner emotions. As such, he can tell when Marinette is being sincere and when she's hiding something (though the latter is not hard since she's a Bad Liar) and he can often tell how people really feel under their turmoil, as shown with Adrien and Alec in "Wishmaker." All-Loving Hero: Downplayed. Both Marinette and Adrien are genuinely kind-hearted individuals who care about protecting their friends, families, and Paris. However, they are still flawed individuals who show a normal amount of anger, pettiness, or immaturity in some of their actions. Far from being a science fiction book, this is a story about perception and self-awareness. Kaufman uses traditional comic book tropes to question what it takes to be a real superhero. This isn’t a story about spectacular beings but about humans. Tom can see great things in all of his friends but not himself. This is a book that showcases in absurd proportions the idea that people find it difficult to see their good points. How difficult it is to see the traits that make you special. Or of the way that you can turn people’s faults into strengths. Tom’s love for The Perfectionist takes her need to make everything perfect and make it special. It is what makes him fall in love with her. All My Friends are Superheroes is a sweet but heartbreaking tale of what it is to live in a world full of other people. You will continually feel that you pale in comparison.

As of season two, both Marinette and Adrien are in a proper version of this trope: Marinette is the sweetheart "Betty" to Kagami's ice queen "Veronica" for Adrien's "Archie", while Adrien is the popular and reserved "Veronica" to Luka's calm and patient "Betty" for Marinette's "Archie". Swapped Roles: The two are forced to switch their respective Miraculous pieces in "Reflekdoll", resulting in Mister Bug and Lady Noir fighting Reflekta and the titular sentimonster.In the first season, Marinette and Adrien only have eyes for Adrien aka Cat Noir and Ladybug aka Marinette, respectively. But both are currently unaware that they are crushing on the same person. I think that Ghost Rider should be the best superhero because he can burn souls, and he can turn people to dust and gravel. He can also float in the air when a flashbang is beside him and blows up. He can also burn people just with the touch of a finger. He can call in his motorcycle to ramp on someone's face and can bring someone toward him with his chain, which can reach an unlimited distance. He can turn any vehicle into a dream vehicle. That's why I think that Ghost Rider should be number one.

Red Oni, Blue Oni: Zigzagged. In their civilian life, Marinette is more energetic and emotional while Adrien is quiet and reserved. However, in their superhero life, Ladybug is more controlled and perceptive (at times) while Cat Noir is more Hot-Blooded and full of energy.At the end of "Frozer", he notices Marinette's feelings for Adrien and despite his own attraction to her, Luka encourages Marinette to talk to Adrien in an attempt to sort out her feelings. Martian Manhunter is one of the most powerful telepathic beings in comics, and he's the heart and soul of the Justice League. He deserves more attention in comic book topics. In "Cat Blanc", he's shown playing a song with the others while Marinette and Adrien have a romantic dance. In "Félix", Marinette is open about her crush on Adrien to him and he tells Marinette that he'll be happy for her and Adrien if they do end up together. Superpowered Evil Side: "Queen Wasp" shows that not even Miraculous holders are immune to Akumatization. If Hawk Moth akumatizes them when they have their Miraculouses active, they will be granted a powered-up version of their main power they can use at will without dropping their transformation, which is demonstrated by Queen Wasp's wasp swarm that can paralyze multiple targets and Cat Blanc's infinite power of destruction.
