The Alleged Car: a Pontiac Aztek.
Genius Cripple
Hero with Bad Publicity
Hollywood Hacking
Intrepid Reporter
Knight in Sour Armor - Lost some of his idealism over time. The prequel novel "Before the Dawn" shows that he was against killing bad guys and chewed Max's brother Seth out for doing so, but by the time of the series he's over it. Blaming himself for getting Seth killed, which he hides from Max until "After the Dark", may have something to do with it.
Knowledge Broker
Obfuscating Disability - After his walking problem is solved by an exoskeleton
Perma Stubble
Phrase Catcher
Secret Identity - Reporter Logan Cale vs Eyes Only.
Stoic Spectacles
Voice of the Resistance

Beleaguered Boss
Deadpan Snarker
Jerkass
Nerd Glasses - partial example, as he wears glasses and has a less-than heroic personality.

The Alcoholic - hasn't had a drink for 10 years when the show starts, but that doesn't last the season.
Abusive Parent - closest thing the X5s had to a parent.
Big Bad - in Season One
Colonel Badass - although following the Conservation of Ninjutsu, his badassery goes up exponentially when he's by himself.
Coup De Grace - delivers several.
Determinator
Enemy Mine - and he uses the associated saying
Establishing Character Moment: Lydecker establishes himself as both a Determinator and a complete dick when he goes to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting for the sole purpose of telling them how weak they are. You see, when he gave up drinking, he did it cold turkey under his own willpower. He didn't whine about how he had a disease and he needed help. The irony when he later falls Off the Wagon is delicious.
Glasses Pull
Heartbroken Badass - after his wife's pre-series death.
Luke, I Am Your Father - discussed and lampshaded. He isn't related to Max, but did include some of his dead wife's DNA in her.
Mercy Kill - at the end of season one, he's about to kill Max and then himself. She convinces him otherwise with a boot to the head.
Never Found the Body
Off the Wagon
Offhand Backhand
Papa Wolf - He gets extremely upset when "his kids" are endangered.
Stoic Spectacles
Well-Intentioned Extremist

Beast Man
Beast and Beauty - the Beast to Max's Beauty.
- And Annie's Beauty.
Cute Little Fangs
Expy - is rather similar in appearance and mannerisms to Vincent from the Beauty and The Beast TV series.
Genius Bruiser: Can seem simple due to his lack of world experience, but has a high IQ.
Gentle Giant
The Heart
Hulk Speak
Reclusive Artist: For obvious reasons, he sold his paintings to the gallery via Alec.
Third Person Person

Pair the Spares - looked like she and Alec were going this way, until they didn't
Romantic False Lead - served as a Foil for Max and Logan
Terrorists Without a Cause

Big Bad - in Season Two
Even Evil Has Loved Ones - played straight with his son, but subverted with his wife, whom he kills.
Fantastic Racism
Smug Snake

And I Must Scream - After Manticore recaptures him, he's used as a organ donor, providing a heart to Max and liver and kidneys to others. While still alive.
Big Brother Instinct
Brainwashed and Crazy - in his last episode
Child Soldiers
Knight Templar Big Brother - unapologetically kills Vogelsang (the information broker Max hired, who was later squeezed down by Lydecker) to protect his siblings
Neuro Vault
Scannable Man
Super Soldier
Tyke Bomb
You Are Number Six
