Line 20:
* [[Daddy's Girl]]: Jedda, with the Phantom. The fact she has a [[Missing Mom]] doesn't help.
* [[Danger Room Cold Open]]
* [[Dead Hat Shot]]: In "The Ghost Walks Again", where the Phantom falls into a river after being shot. On finding his belt floating in the water, Jedda immediately fears the worst and, when the Phantom is subsequently declared dead (even though his body has not been found) has to decide if she is ready to take over his duties. However, the Phantom has, in fact, survived and is reunited with his daughter by the episode's conclusion.
* [[Dude Magnet]]: Every other teenage male character got a crush on Jedda at one moment or another, including Ming's own son. Most of the [[Ship Tease]] was Rick/Jedda.
* [[Episode Title Card]]
* [[Even the Girls Want Her]]/[[Foe Yay]]: In "The Golden Queen, Part 1", a villainness approaches a sleeping Jedda and comments on her beauty. Censors didn't notice. Wanna read something even more [[Squick|squicky]]? {{spoiler|Said villainness had just [[Incest Is Relative|married the Phantom]].}}
* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]: Rick Gordon. Being raised in space among various advanced alien civilizations helps.
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: Lothar is superhumanly strong and portrayed as a mechanical genius and tactician.
* [[Jungle Princess]]: Jedda Walker
* [[Legacy Character]]: Rick Gordon, Jedda Walker and Lothar Jr. "With our new young heroes, proving their worth/Four become eight, defending the Earth". (Eight, because Stan counted Kshin.)
Line 38:
* [[Non-Human Sidekick]]: Mongor, evil version to Ming.
* [[Mecha-Mooks]]: Ming's ice robots.
* [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover]]: It brought together all of King Features' most famous adventure-hero characters: Flash Gordon, The Phantom, and Mandrake The Magician (along with his sidekick, the strongman Lothar).
* [[Off-Model]]: Jedda's design was nowhere near consistent for several episodes. She would change outfits, hairstyles, hair colors, and even ''skintones'' from episode to episode. Sometimes you had no idea who the hell she was supposed to be until someone said her name.
** In the episode "The Root of Evil", practically everyone is off-model.
* [[Overlord, Jr.]]: Prince Kro-Tan
* [[Panthera Awesome]]
* [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]]: Arguably applies -- what common grounds ''are'' there for a rocket-flying adventurer, a secretive jungle guardian, and an Eastern-trained illusionist to team up and work together?
* [[Scary Black Man]]: Lothar, and possibly Lothar Jr. in the future.
