The Chosen One: The aliens considered the Commander as such a useful asset that they went out of the way to capture them during the intiial invasion, made them the unwitting leader of their entire military, and even after the Commander escapes again, the aliens are intent on recapturing them instead of killing the new leader of the Resistance.

Blue Is Heroic: The Commander's psionic aura turns light blue during the last confrontation, in contrast to the purple aura of other psionics as well as the Elders/Ethereals.

Authority Equals Asskicking: The final mission has the Commander take part via their own Avatar, and is more than capable of keeping up with a squad of colonels.

They never physically leave the Avenger after the Gatecrasher mission.

The Commander takes to the field in person exactly once, and even then they're largely safe from actual harm because they're remote-controlling an Avatar.

Armchair Military: Type 1, although without the negative connotations.

Ambiguous Gender: Their gender is never referred to in-game, allowing any player to identify with them.

They are rescued from stasis at the start of the game, and proceed to take charge of XCOM's campaign to save humanity.
