History Characters / CodeLyokoEvolution

The main antagonist of ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko''. He has been resurrected and is using source codes implanted in the Lyoko Warriors to regain his strength. What he plans to do once he has regained his power is unknown.

* BackFromTheDead: Though all his Replikas were destroyed in the previous series, he survived by hiding inside a quantum supercomputer of similar design to the one hosting Lyoko.
* BigBadDuumvirate: With Professor Tyron.
* SoulJar: He is using the Lyoko Warriors as this. This means he can't actually kill them, as he needs their codes to be back at full power, meaning his usual powerset is off the table for a variety of reasons.

* PredecessorVillain: Seems to be this, as he was apparently there when Hopper was working on Lyoko.
* SmugSnake: He's quite convinced he's got everything under control.

* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:His ignorance of XANA's existence allows XANA to work from his supercomputer with impunity, barring Tyron's occasional act that inconveniences him.]]

* AdaptationDyeJob: Blonde here, pink-haired like Aelita in the previous series. It's possible she died her hair, but it's not confirmed.

For tropes that apply to these characters in both series, as well as more detailed biographies of characters from the first series, please refer to the ''Characters/CodeLyoko'' character page. Characters from ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'' will not be listed here until they are confirmed to appear in ''Series/CodeLyokoEvolution''.

* XanatosSpeedChess: In "Virus", she hacks the Return to the Past just after overhearing the heroes mentioning she's going to be kicked out. In "Chaos in Kadic", when her father is insistant about her leaving Kadic, she lures him to the factory in order to force the heroes to launch the Return to the Past, thus erasing his memories and the damage caused by XANA's attacks.

* BigBadDuumvirate: With Professor Tyron [[spoiler:until it's revealed they are a BigBadEnsemble.]].
* SoulJar: He is using the Lyoko Warriors as this.

* MadScientist: Possibly. He certainly ''looks'' the part.
* MysteriousPast: His full history with Hopper and potentially Project Carthage is unknown. We also don't know [[spoiler:how he got Anthea into his employ.]]

* AdaptationDyeJob: Blonde here, pink-haired like Aelita in the previous series.

[[folder: Odd Della Robbia]]

* SadClown: While having [[spoiler: lost all of his codes.]] He makes with the jokes even when it's brought up ([[SelfDeprecatingHumor usually by him]]), but he's clearly ''very'' bitter about it.

[[folder: Laura Gauthier]]

* {{Jerkass}}: She is insufferable, smug even when she's supposed to be helping and has no problem [[KickTheDog taking her feud with Aelita to outright mockery over her father being gone, implying Hopper favored his work over her]] (which Aelita fires back and says that's not true at all, and she shuts her up with the [[HeroicSacrifice actual explanation]] in ten seconds flat). [[spoiler: In "Mutiny", not only does she show no remorse when her actions almost led William to be turned into XANA's slave again, but she actually ''keeps'' blaming the Lyoko-Warriors for letting their emotions get the best of them.]]

* NeverMyFault: After [[spoiler: her attempt to deal with XANA herself goes horribly wrong and nearly gets William captured, rather than admit she was wrong she blames the others for not having her vision. It's likely this more than anything that convinces the others that she needs to be kicked out.]]

* RippleEffectProofMemory: Laura gets this by first tampering with the Return to the Past to make it less effective on her, and later gets it fully when scanned into the super computer.[[spoiler: Jérémie revokes this priveledge in "Mutiny" after updating the RTTP to fix her malicious code, and only target her for once.]]

* SuperPowersForADay: Averted. She almost got to become a warrior on Lyoko in episode 13 [[spoiler: but was stopped when Odd managed to repair the skid courtesy of Aelita's help.]]

* TokenEvilTeammate: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] and later [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]]. She's a {{Jerkass}}, she's cunning and often works behind the heroes' back. That said, she still helps them in their fight against XANA. However, she's more and more alienated from the team due to that. On top of that, [[spoiler: her scheme in ''Mutiny'' leads to her being kicked out of the group.]]

[[folder: XANA]]

[[folder: Professor Tyron]]

* ArchnemesisDad: [[spoiler: We eventually find out that he has married Athena Hopper, thus making him Aelita's step-father.]]

* WrongGenreSavvy: Tyron thinks Aelita is the prodigal daughter returning to take back everything he stole from her father, and [[spoiler: get her mother out of his grasp]]. But while she does [[spoiler: care about finding her mother]], the group have no problem with his system at all except for the fact that [[spoiler: XANA is using it to attack the world]]. He refuses to believe that the plot isn't about him, and it's especially obvious when [[spoiler: he and Aelita meet face to face]] that he has little idea of what's really going on.

* EmotionsVersusStoicism: Jérémie versus Laura in this series. Jérémie relies on his friends as much as his friends rely on him, and as such are a very tight-knit team. However Laura shows no empathy for Aelita's lost parents, relies too much on statistics and reasoning and logic to get by, and thinks all of them are blinded by their emotions when they could end XANA forever, and see's Aelita's mother being lost forever as a necessary sacrifice.

* RippleEffectProofMemory: Laura gets this by first tampering with the Return to the Past to make it less effective on her, and later gets it fully when scanned into the super computer.[[spoiler: Jérémie removes this priveledge in "Mutiny" after updating the RTTP to fix her malicious code, and only target her for once.

* {{Jerkass}}: She is insufferable, smug even when she's supposed to be helping and has no problem [[KickTheDog taking her feud with Aelita to outright mockery over her father being gone, implying Hopper favored his work over her]] (whcih Aelita fires back and says that's not true at all, and she shuts her up with the [[HeroicSacrifice actual explanation]] in ten seconds flat). [[spoiler: In "Mutiny", not only does she show no remorse when her actions almost led William to be turned into XANA's slave again, but she actually ''keeps'' blaming the Lyoko-Warriors for letting their emotions get the best of them.]]
* LackOfEmpathy: Throughout the series, she actively manipulates the group, bugs up the Return to the Past so that it would be less effective on her, is one third of a LoveTriangle between Aelita and Jérémie, actively mocks Aelita's heritage and willingess to see her parents, and manipulates William via his own emotional insecurity about being left out of the group, and they agree to mutiny against the group, which ends up getting William taken over by XANA briefly.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: A greater example than most other cases in the show. When using the supercompouter thr first time, she puts two and two together, and modifies the Return to the Past to be less effective on he, instead giving her flashbacks to her time in the lab. This leads onto her being a SixcthRanger, and becoming increasingly annoying one at that after all her schemes put her on a tighter leash. [[spoiler:After an ill-conceived attempt to destroy XANA in "Mutiny" which nearly got William turned back into XANA's servant, Jérémie informs Laura that he's updated the Return to the Past so he has greater control over it, and in this case, to only work on her, which erases all of her memories of the factory.]]

* AudienceSurrogate: The main reason she was added to the cast was to create a character that would be unfamiliar with Lyoko and ask questions, allowing the new watchers unfamiliar with ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'' to catch up.
* BadLiar: While every Lyoko-warrior is known for being bad liars, Laura is the worst. When Mr. Graven does interviews in episode 17, trying to track down people with knowledge of quantum physics through the use of a test, Laura lies about the subject only to correctly answer a following question which would require expertise in it. It doesn't take him long to get to her after that, though Aelita steps in before she agrees to anything.

* CanonForeigner: She is newly created for the live-action sequel series.
* DistaffCounterpart: An entirely assumed feminine version of Jérémie.

* FreudianExcuse: Her father is very demanding and is essentially her without her redeeming qualities. No wonder she turned out to be so condescending.

* {{Jerkass}}: She is insufferable, quite smug even when she's supposed to be helping and has no problem [[KickTheDog taking her feud with Aelita to outright mockery over her father being gone, implying Hopper favoured his work over her]]. [[spoiler: In "Mutiny", not only does she show no remorse when her actions almost led William to be turned into XANA's slave again, but she actually ''keeps'' blaming the Lyoko-Warriors for letting their emotions get the best of them.]]
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: [[spoiler:After an ill-conceived attempt to destroy XANA in "Mutiny" which nearly got William turned back into XANA's servant, Jeremie somehow erases all her memories of the factory with the Return to the Past (evidently he fixed whatever method she used to protect herself).]]
* ManipulativeBastard:

* TheTeamNormal: Similar to Jérémie, being a non-combatant[=/=]secondary MissionControl. [[spoiler:She almost gets virtualized in "Vendredi 13" as a last resort, but Aelita thought up a solution that negated the need. Laura was somewhat annoyed at being denied the chance.]]

* TookALevelInKindness: Conversely, William's nice moments are surprisingly better than in the original series. Highlights includes the entire episode 6, [[PetTheDog his aforementioned behavior towards Laura]], his friendship with Ulrich (this is especially notable in "Friday the 13th" where both of them are having fun against the Mantas) and he lost his StalkerWithACrush tendencies.

[[Sissi Delmas]]

* {{Hypocrite}}: He criticized William for "going solo". Yet, in episode 6, when William is devirtualized after having saved Aelita, he congratulates him, claiming that it is better when he isn't going solo...Forgetting that the entire success of the whole mission was due to William ''alone''.

* TheSpock: Deconstructed in "Mutiny".

* WellIntentionedExtremist: In "Mutiny", [[spoiler:she decides to act behind the team's back, manipulating William into helping her, in order to destroy XANA. Her concern was founded, but she decided to put priority on XANA's destruction over the others' promise to find Aelita's mother.]]

-->'''Ulrich:''' Hey, you'd make a good wind fan...

* PetTheDog: Subverted. He is the only Lyoko-warrior who never minded Laura nor was hostile to her. Even when she manipulated him, he merely warned her of the consequences, remained silent when she was kicked out and was the only one of the group who didn't raise his hand when they voted to kick out Laura. This tacit sympathy led a few fans to pair him with Laura.

* SuperPowersForADay: Averted. She almost got to become a warrior on Lyoko in episode 13 [[spoiler: but was stopped when Odd managed to repaid the skid courtesy of Aelita's help.]]

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: In episode 13, Laura almost gets to become a warrior on Lyoko. [[spoiler: However, before she can be virtulized to Lyoko, Odd manages to repair the skid with Aelita's help]]

* FreudianExcuse: Her father is very demanding is essentially her without her redeeming qualities. No wonder she turned out to be so condescending.

* ManipulativeBastard: In "Chaos in Kadic", she lures her father to the factory in order to force the heroes to launch a Return to the Past. [[spoiler:In "Mutiny", she convinces William to help her in her scheme to act behind the Lyoko Warriors' back by playing on his feelings of rejection from Yumi.]]

* ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler:In "Mutiny", she convinces William to help her in her scheme to act behind the Lyoko Warriors' back by playing on his feelings of rejection from Yumi.]]

* StalkerWithACrush: It's implied that the reason she shadowed the gang everywhere in her first appearance was because she had a thing for Jeremie, right down to making {{Freudian Slip}}s when talking to him. This gets lampshaded by Odd, who also implies this is the reason initially Aelita disliked her. It's dropped in later appearances, which focus more on her interest in the technology.

* GreenEyes: Though it is difficult to tell, Aelita does indeed have green eyes in her 3D form.

* BigBadDuumvirate: With Professor Tyron [[spoiler:until it's revealed they are a BigBadEnsemble]].

* GenreBlind: [[spoiler:He doesn't think XANA is real, despite evidence to the contrary.]]

* MadScientist: Possibly.

* TookALevelInBadass: On Lyoko, William's sword, while not so-BFS anymore, is not only lighter but even ''more'' powerful than in the original series. While in Season 4, William's swords attacks weren't always OneHitKill (A Krab survived having it's legs cut in episode 69 and Odd survived a direct blow in episode 79), ''every single one'' of his successful sword attacks is an instant kill in Evolution. Note his numerous [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome crowning moments of awesome]] in episodes such as episodes 6, 11 and 15, for example.

* SimpleStaff / RetractableWeapon: Gets the "Bow Staff", a telescoping staff, in episode 10.

* SimpleStaff / RetractableWeapon: Gets the "Yumi Stick", a telescoping staff, in episode 10.

Yumi receives a new weapon, the "Yumi Stick", and her Overwing has been modified. She can deactivate towers now, just as Odd and Ulrich do.

* BigNo: When William gets devirtualized and she finds herself facing two Ninjas alone.

!!Aelita Stones

* MasterOfAll: This is even ''more'' ridiculous than in Season 4. He can't fall in the Digital Sea (thanks to the Super Smoke), every single one of his attacks is a finisher if successful, the Super Smoke makes him faster than Ulrich's Super Sprint and his sword, lighter, is even ''deadlier''. Should we mention that he can send ''flying'' both monsters and Lyoko-warriors?
