Crazy-Prepared: Shining Nova, particularly if Stan's on the Heel≯ace Turn route.

An option players can choose is to reveal that Stan has gotten by because he learned to work smarter, not harder, over the years. The average duration for a henchman on a job is about a year tops and yet Stan has somehow managed to survive on the job for around 5 without getting arrested and only ever suffering minor injuries.

Brilliant, but Lazy: Stan gets scoped out by Madame Scorpion because despite his overall mediocrity, he is still uncannily Lord Bedlam's most competent henchman.

Brain≬omputer Interface: Villainess Madame Scorpion's master plan involves one, as by connecting herself to a supercomputer running an app she's having installed on every henchman's phone, she'll have access to enough processing power to outthink any superhero she's up against.

Bland-Name Product: Stan and his coworkers play Spells & Swords, a tabletop roleplaying game which is clearly a stand-in for Dungeons & Dragons.

Despite this, he actually does form a new friendship with Dynamo. Stan is still forced to undergo probation as a form of rehabilitation program and he and Nova are on shaky terms due to his not following through on her request. While he and Dynamo manage to save Nova's life, Scorpion escapes and goes into hiding with her Network entact. Stan undergoes a Heel≯ace Turn after having a last moment change of heart.

Bitter Sweet Ending: The A Real Dynamo ending.

Big Bad Wannabe: Lord Bedlam desperately wants to be respected as a threat and have a nemesis of his own, but between his low-profile crimes and the fact that big-name supervillainess Madame Scorpion is clearly using his organization to further her own schemes, only his own underlings give him proper respect.The Baroness: Madame Scorpion, an unrepentant domineering power hungry villainess.However, given that Nova still gets Out-Gambitted if Stan commits to being a villain, it's implied that the true purpose of Scorpion's test was less about Stan's effectiveness as a liar, and more about his willingness to lie. Even though Stan basically says the same thing regardless of whether or not he's lying to her, Nova will see right through his lie and only reveal her true plan if he genuinely turns against Scorpion. A notable example can be found in the villain route, where Madame Scorpion tasks Stan with lying to Shining Nova during her interrogation to get her to reveal her backup plan. Bad Liar: Most of Stan's lies aren't particularly effective, and he often gets exposed pretty quickly.The key difference here is that Stan decides to either quit his job as a henchman or refuse to help Nova out after escaping with her.

The two Road Untaken endings imply that Madame Scorpion succeeds in her villainous ambitions as well, with both her and Lord Bedlam still at large.And in the one ending she doesn't, it's because Stan backstabs her and becomes an evil mastermind himself. In all but one of the villain endings, Madame Scorpion soundly defeats her opponents and continues her reign of terror unabated.In the endings where Stan does end up becoming a Superhero, Lord Bedlam will reiterate that Stan is now his arch-nemesis. Arch-Enemy: Gets hilariously invoked in the Super hero path should Stan undergo a Heel≯ace Turn and betray Lord Bedlam's organization to help Shining Nova, Lord Bedlam is first outraged over the betrayal but will then get giddy over the prospect that this will officially make Stan his nemesis.In the hero routes, Stan forsakes his entire career path at Shining Nova's urging. Ambition Is Evil: In the villain routes, Stan is motivated by Madame Scorpion to seek better career opportunities and rise among the ranks of villainy.It later turns out that Kate's real name is Victoria Vasquez, and if Stan used an alliterative name earlier, he can call Dynamo out on it. Alliterative Name: Stan has the option to introduce himself to Miss Dynamo with a fake alliterative name, which she makes fun of.
