-->''"We say, it's time for a new order. But it can't arise until the old one departs..."''

A mastermind gorilla from Gorilla City, a place where many hyper-intelligent gorillas live. After being ousted for his experiments in mind control, he turns to full-time villainy in order to gain wealth and resources to continue his research. He is most notable for organizing a number of villainous alliances to counter the Justice League.
----
* AffablyEvil: After some CharacterDevelopment he [[IncrediblyLamePun evolves]] into this.
* BigBad: Of the Secret Society and the Legion of Doom. Competes with Luthor and Darkseid for this title when it comes to the show as a whole.
* BigBadWannabe: Well, he clearly doesn't end at the top.
* BenevolentBoss: Why the Legion of Doom likes him more than [[BadBoss Luthor]].
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: In this version, he sticks to his given name (just "Grodd") rather than calling himself "Gorilla Grodd".
* DefiantToTheEnd: He spends his last moments while being ThrownOutTheAirlock swearing that he's not done with Luthor, and will get revenge somehow.
* DiabolicalMastermind: Especially in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Unlimited''. The other members of the Legion of Doom pay him twenty-five percent of their profits; in exchange, he provides the muscle to keep the League off their backs.
* DisappointedByTheMotive: Spends half the final season being ominously vague about his ultimate plan, only for it to turn out that [[spoiler: he just wants to turn everybody into gorillas.]] The Legion is less than impressed when they find out, to say the least.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: He hates bananas.
* TheEmpath: Evil version. He can influence people to say things they'd otherwise keep to themselves by playing on their emotions.
* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: Subverted to hell and gone.
* EvilerThanThou: With Luthor.
* EvilIsOneBigHappyFamily: What he turns the Legion of Doom into.
* EvilGenius: He plans a lot of his schemes out very carefully, and is a skilled telepath.
* EvilPlan: [[spoiler: Subverted. Turning every human (and Kryptonian, etc) on Earth into a gorilla is just... goofy. Luthor calls him on it.]]
* EvilSoundsDeep
* FantasticRacism: He thinks very little of humans. However, [[CharacterDevelopment he outgrows it]], in [[InterspeciesRomance more ways than one]].
* GeniusBruiser: He's a 600 pound gorilla with an intellect that rivals that of Lex Luthor.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Luthor uses his own MindRape powers on him.
* InterspeciesRomance: Every single one of his lovers has been human. He's so into them that he turned Giganta from an ape to a human just to suit his particular fetish.
* KilledOffForReal: By being ThrownOutTheAirlock.
%%* ManipulativeBastard
* MindRape: His specialty.
* KavorkaMan: Or ape, first there was the hot scientist in his debut episodes, then Giganta and lastly Tala. Must be the smarts.
* OnlyOneName: Just "Grodd". No surname.
* SocialDarwinist: Believes the strong should rule and the weak obey. He repeatedly scoffs at "society's petty restrictions" for daring to keep the criminal element down.
* SmugSnake: Thinks so little of humans that he forgets they can fight back.
* {{Telepathy}}
* TrueCompanions: What he tries to turn the Secret Society and then the Legion of Doom into.

[[folder:Giganta]]
!!Giganta
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/giganta.png]]
->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/JenniferHale

* AntiVillain: While undoubtedly a villain, Giganta doesn't go out of her way to KickTheDog and seems to be among the most human of the Society's members. She joins the society out of devotion to Grodd and no other reason.
* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: Her main superpower is growing to huge heights.
* BoobsOfSteel: Within the original Secret Society alone, compare her chest size with that of cold-blooded distance striker, [[AnIcePerson Killer Frost]], who she shares a voice actress with.
* EvilRedhead: A redhead and an AntiVillain.
* MagicSkirt: Strangely enough, considering she wears a tiny dress and can grow to giant size, we never see the [[PantyShot obvious outcome]], even when she falls over. [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar Possibly]] subverted ''on-screen'', judging by the Shade's reaction to seeing her grow right in front of him (with him standing under her, looking up).
* MsFanservice: She has a buxom figure, especially compared with Killer Frost in the Secret Society, and wears a tiny dress. She attracts a few men in the show.
%%* MostCommonSuperpower
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: While genuinely criminal, her main connection is her devotion to Grodd for, "As long as he needs me." Or until he [[spoiler:fries her brain.]]
* ShipTease: In the final episode, she plants a kiss on [[spoiler: Flash]]'s cheek.
* WomanScorned: Subverted eventually with [[spoiler:Grodd]]. While she's a bit pissed off that he's replaced her with someone else (as it turns out, Tala), she's more furious that he tried to [[spoiler:fry her brain]].
* WouldntHitAGirl: Invokes this on Superman one time. Wonder Woman doesn't have a problem, though...

[[folder:Killer Frost]]
!!Killer Frost
[[quoteright:205:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/killer_frost_dcau_001.jpg]]
->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/JenniferHale

* AxCrazy: The girl likes murdering.
* BlackEyesOfEvil: Black eyes, and one of the most vile Society members.
* CreepyMonotone: Her voice seldom goes up or down.
* DarkActionGirl: Her powers are impeccably useful in combat.
* DeadpanSnarker: Always a sarcastic quip in her.
* ForTheEvulz: Grodd makes it clear that she's working for him simply because she just wants to kill as many people as possible. She seems very disappointed when Grodd wants someone alive.
* {{Goth}}: Lone Psycho Goth variant.
* HarmlessFreezing: Averted. There's a reason she's called ''Killer'' Frost.
* AnIcePerson: "Not necessarily a nice person," indeed.
* IFightForTheStrongestSide: When Luthor's faction comes out on top against Grodd's, she takes a few steps away and flash-freezes his minions. Luthor welcomes her into the fold.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: Her murder of the traitors among the Legion of Doom. She also kills Morgan Edge during her debut episode.
%%* LooksLikeCesare
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Grodd has the group engage in teamwork and trust-building exercises, which Frost surprisingly goes along with. Giganta "accidentally" crushing her during the "fall backwards and I'll catch you" one elicits no more than a bored-sounding, "Ow."
* PetTheDog: She reassures Clayface that Morgan Edge, his captor, will never harm him again.
* PsychoForHire: As Grodd puts it, "she just likes killing things," to the point where she looks really disappointed whenever she's stopped. On the bright side, it makes her really hard to bribe.
* PsychoticSmirk: This and disdain about sum up her facial expressions.
* TheSociopath: The other members of the original Society at least had reasons for their actions, such as money, loyalty to Grodd or a desire to be cured. Killer Frost just likes killing people.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Does this to [[PsychopathicManchild Toyman]] in "Alive". Considering that Toyman has frequently clashed with Superman, she should have known better.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Her hair is blue to match her powers.

[[folder:Atomic Skull]]
!!Atomic Skull
->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/LexLang

* ButtMonkey: Despite being a fearsome-looking metahuman, most of his screen time is spent being humiliatingly trounced by [[BadassNormal non-powered heroes]] - and, in one case, by [[BadassBystander an anonymous teenaged monk]].
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He insist that he and the other villains should be allowed to help the heroes stop Darkseid's invasion.
* ILoveNuclearPower: His main superpower.
* MauveShirt: One of only a handful of Legion members to survive the finale.
* SkullForAHead: Has a skull wrapped in green fire, which he can fire energy blasts from. Nobody shows any visible discomfort from punching him in the face, however.
* VocalDissonance: Sounds surprisingly whiny when we actually hear him talk.

!!Shade
[[quoteright:333:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shade.png]]
->'''Voiced By:''' [[Creator/StephenMcHattie Stephen [=McHattie=]]]

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Averted, he's much older and uglier in the DCAU than he is in the comics.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Is an AntiHero in the comics.
* AdaptationalWimp: Doesn't seem to be near as powerful as the comic Shade, who was strong enough to defeat several [[ComicBook/BlackestNight Black Lanterns]] with relative ease.
* AmazonChaser: Is attracted to Giganta. [[spoiler: Even after learning she used to be a gorilla]].
* ButtMonkey: The League doesn't even try their hardest to beat him.
* CastingAShadow: What his staff can do.
* DarkIsEvil: He wears black and manipulates the shadows.
* DeadpanSnarker: In his few brief appearances, he has his moments:
--->'''Shade''': Lex Luthor? The plot thins.
* EvilAlbino: Though it might be just make-up.
* KilledOffForReal: With a whole bunch of other villains in the episode before the finale.
** DroppedABridgeOnHim: He was among one of the most high-profile casualties of the finale.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Always the first to know when he's been beat.
* KungFuWizard: He eventually learns martial arts.
* LeanAndMean: Fairly lean and a certain villain.
%%* LooksLikeCesare
* NiceHat: A top hat.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: To the point of RunningGag.
* PragmaticVillainy: prefers to remain a thief over a ruler.
* SinisterShades: Wears a pair of sunglasses to complete his outfit.
* SquishyWizard: Until he TookALevelInBadass his staff was his only utility in combat.
* TookALevelInBadass: And made pretty well against Batman. Too bad Superman stepped in.

[[folder:Star Sapphire]]
!!Star Sapphire
[[quoteright:193:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/star_sapphire20.png]]
->'''Voiced By:''' Olivia d'Abo

* AdaptationalVillainy: She went from an AntiHero to a full on villain.
* AlphaBitch: While not explicitly stated to be a queen like in the comics, she sure is haughty enough.
* BloodKnight: She ''enjoys'' beating her enemies.
* CuteBruiser: Looks fragile but with her gem's power, she's a brutal fighter.
* DarkActionGirl: She has put up some serious fights among most of the villainesses.
* DistaffCounterpart and EvilCounterpart: To John Stewart, the Green Lantern.
* EvilBrit: British and certainly evil.
* EvilIsPetty: Not content with being the Injustice Gang's most unpleasant teammate (not a small feat), she gleefully joined an attempt at {{Gendercide}} just to get rid of some guys she disliked.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Acts like a ProperLady while killing enemies.
* GreenLanternRing: Her head-jewel-thing.
* HeelFaceMole: Briefly feigned abandoning Aresia to join the heroines.
* InTheBack: She really needs to keep an eye on hers.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Only helps other villains if it benefits her.
* {{Jerkass}}: She's rude to everyone and only looks out for herself.
* KickTheDog: Mocks everyone she beats.
* LadyOfWar: Invoked and Subverted. She acts as this trope but she's [[SmugSnake very]] [[KickTheDog cruel]].
* PurpleIsPowerful
* RaceLift: She's been changed from American to [[EvilBrit British]].
* ShesGotLegs: Her costume shows these often.
* SmugSmiler: Always has a smile on her face when gaining the upper hand.
* SmugSnake: She's a snooty lady to say the least.
* SmugSuper: She has reasons to be arrogant, since she's almost on par with Green Lantern.
[[/folder]]

* SkullForAHead: Has a skull wrapped in green fire, which he can fire energy blasts from.

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Following his first defeat. Grodd spent months observing the League to learn all that he could, which allowed him to make better use of his new empathic power. And when forming the Secret Society, he selected members that couldn't be bribed into betraying him (as was done to Luthor) and performed team-building exercises so that they would trust each other. Much later, when forming the Legion of Doom, he actively kept its existence a secret from the League - going as far as to wire members' brains to short-out if questioned or mentally probed.

* AntiVillain: While undoubtedly a villain, Giganta doesn't go out of her way to KickTheDog and seems to be among the most human of the Society's members.

* OperaGloves: Wears these over her hands for reasons unknown.

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/star_sapphire.png]]

* MsFanservice: She attracts a few men in the show.

* DistaffCounterpart and EvilCounterpart: To John Stewart.

* {{MsFanservice}}: She has her fair share of moments.
