History Characters / GrrlPowerAntagonists

* DemonicPossession: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]]. After Lapha jumps into his body, he asks her if she's possessing him. She requests that he not refer to the act as such for legal reasons.

[[folder: Vehemence]]

* TooSpicyForYogSothhoth: Almost literally how she's ejected from [[spoiler:Sydney's body; when Sydney takes a bite of one of her favorite dishes (read:something so spicy that its mere presence could be used for mace), Lapha takes the heat so poorly that she leaves Sydney's body almost immediately, despite the lack of another body to jump into almost killing her before Dabbler saves her by taking her into another vessal]].

* BodySurf: She jumps into Garamm's body after [[spoiler:her old body is devoured by another alien.]]

* CustomBuiltHost: Her body is implied to have been some sort of artificial construct, after [[spoiler:it's eaten]] she starts shopping on "[[https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-932-designing-women/ meatblanks.galnet]]" for a new one, with Garamm offering some less-than-welcome input on the customizations.
* DemonicPossession: Downplayed. Her true form is the flame-eye thing floating at her brow, and she can transfer it from body to body. However, she only truly "possesses" the body if it's an EmptyShell. When she jumps into a body with a prior occupant, she has to share. This is a problem when she posesses [[spoiler: Sydney, since somehow the orbs still know which conciousness is Sydney's and only obey her, not Lapha, so Sydney can keep them away from her hands.]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast: It turns out her species are essentially magical ArtificialIntelligence that can also reproduce...with risks. She spent the first two weeks of her existence watching her parents "slowly glitch to oblivion" in front of her, unable to do anything about it. She then grew up as an orphan on the streets.

* SharingABody: With Garamm. The arrangement is only temporary until she can get a new one. She also requests that, for legal reasons, he not refer to the act as "possession".
** When she returns, she's [[spoiler: taken the body of a fellow Lithling that is a friend of Parfeit's in order to get close to Sydney, so she can take her body and the power of the orbs. While she does end up sharing Sydney's body, the orbs still only obey Sydney's conciousness. This leads to both of them getting locked up in a blacksite cell made to contain Halo.]]

* MinionMaster: Creating golems is a specialty of hers.

** [[spoiler:When she returns, she's working with the group employing Hench Wench, but she reveals to Sydney that they have her body captive. Once Sydney and Cora free her body, she turnes against Hench Wench and the other villains pretty quickly.]]

** He gives a fake MotiveRant to Maxima about planning to start a massive amount of global conflict before admitting that war actually isn't his style and he's far more likely to go hang out at a soccer riot for a good time than try to get an armed conflict going. War is "unruly" in his eyes; he wants "a good scrap", not something that gets a lot of people killed.In fact he only considers killing Maxima once she's established that she is able and willing to kill him.

A demonic-looking alien mercenary (later called a "Lithling") that attempts to kidnap Maxima so she can be sold off to the highest bidder. She's forced to abandon the mission after Maxima proves to be way stronger than she could have ever anticipated.

* CannonFodder: Is rather [[https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-1071-goon-life-and-death/ blasé]] about the expendability of his duplicates, even volunteering for target practice when ARCHON captures several of him.

* SelfDuplication: His power, and he doesn't seem to have Harem's limits, fielding dozens of himself at a time.

A duplicator who works for the Ascenders.

* CannonFodder: Is rather blasé about the expendability of his duplicates, even volunteering for target practice when ARCHON captures several of him.

* UnderestimatingBadassery: He quickly dismisses Sydney as a factor, writing her off as clever but too weak to either pose a threat or serve as a source of vemic energy. Even when she manages to seal off his aura ''while standing unprotected within reach'' he doesn't bother to try to take her down. What's worse, he even recognizes and commends her on her savviness and smarts, so he has no excuse when [[spoiler:she sets up a plan to defeat him]].

* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Betrays her team left and right during their heist on the Council's vault. [[spoiler: This bites her in the butt when Archon comes a calling and she has no backup]].

* BloodlessCarnage: His duplicates disintegrate into what look like butterscoth candies when killed.
* CannonFodder: Is rather blase about the expendability of his duplicates, even volunteering for target practice when ARCHON captures several of him.

* YellowEyesOfSneakiness: Her eyes are normally yellow and she's working with Sciona in secret as part of a larger scheme. Whether or not Deus knows about or is masterminding it is unknown, though the former is likely.

* EverythingIsRacist: Played with. He accused Sydney of being racist and trying to be hurtful, but Dabbler retorts that Sydney has a point.

** When Sydney defends herself by stating that if she, a human, were to ride a wormhole to another world without humans and identify herself with a term synonyms with "baby killer", she'd have a hard time winning over hearts and minds, he loses it, until Dabbler spelled out that his people chose their race name when being brutal tyrants was their norm. Dave B. points out that Sydney's mistake was being too specific.

* WeWillMeetAgain: His final promise to Dabbler. Now that he's found her, a reunion seems imminent.

* AmbiguouslyEvil: [[spoiler:Due to Vehemence's aggro aura it's hard to say how much of what he did was of his own volition.]]
** Averted hard with his reappearance as part of the Ascenders.

[[folder:Heavenly Sword]]
!! Heavenly Sword
[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/heavenly_sword_-_grrl_power_2787.jpg]]
A swordswoman who participates in the attack on the restaurant.

* BarbieDollAnatomy: Averted, it seems that way, but word of god confirms that it was just a lightning and an angle thing.

[[folder: Laphra]]
!!Laphra

A reptilian alien who works under Laphra. He accompanies her on the mission to kidnap Maxima, and ends up being the only one of her subordinates not captured by Archon.

* BiggerIsBetterInBed: Laphra certainly thinks so.
* DemonicPossession: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]]. After Laphra jumps into his body, he asks her if she's possessing him. She requests that he not refer to the act as such for legal reasons.

* SharingABody: With Laphra after they're forced to abandon their mission and [[spoiler:Laphra's original body got eaten.]]

!! An Group of Villains

[[folder: "Crimson Cowls"]]
!! An Unnamed Group of Villains
A group of sinister people seeking information on Archon.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: The main cowl gets hit with an [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Unwinder Round]] from Cora, which Sydney later likens to a large bag of spaghetti exploding over a 50-foot radius. It's compared to ''Cooter's'' death, which is certainly saying something.
* {{Jerkass}}: The main cowl. He holds Concretia's main body hostage to force her to work for her, electrifies and demeans her whenever she does something wrong, has her capture Halo, uses a TruthSerum to force her to give information on Archon before using a memory eraser to prevent her from remembering them, and when [[MotorMouth that doesn't work out like he planned]], he tries to shoot her to see if they can get the spheres to bind to someone under their control. Thankfully, his subordinates and Concretia hold him back long enough for [[BigDamnHeroes Cora]], even if it resulted in LudicrousGibs.

* NoNameGiven: None of them are given names at any point, and their group is kept anonymous. The only distinguishing feature is their outfits, crimson cowled cloaks with black tuxedo coats and black domino masks.

* PragmaticVillainy: When the main cowl proves to be StupidEvil and tries to shoot Sydney, both his subordinate and Concretia stop him, since killing a federal agent and celebrity will get them ''way'' more attention than they want.
* {{Slimeball}}: The main cowl electrifies Concretia's main body whenever she does something wrong, and forces her to say "thank you for fixing me, daddy" whenever he does so. It's noted that he's more of a creep than [[BloodMagic Sciona]].

[[caption-width-right:318:Nice planet you got there, could use a bit of FantasticNuke]]

* OhCrap: After seeing that Maxima is fast enough to move even when she's in a stasis beam, she has a complete FreakOut

* ExactWords: The conditions of her hiring in her contract mean Brutt cannot simply fire her for going power mad and endangering him, despite him being her "boss." She can ''only'' be fired by a majority of board members of the LLC. She apparently snuck this in with legalese without any of the "board members" noticing. Furthermore, even with a majority vote from the board, she ''still'' can't be fired without the approval of the manager, [[spoiler:Who is Hench Wench herself, making her all but impossible to really fire.]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Her ability to manipulate the concrete of the city foreshadows that Concretia's around (and presumably a member of the LLC).

--> '''Ariana''': So god damned satisfying. [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything (Lights a cigar.)]]

* CasanovaWannabe: We don't know how successful he is with women (he is very handsome), but after he is sedated, he mumbles that he isn't fast in bed (a common fan joke about Flash-like characters) in his confusion. Given the circumstances, he wasn't going to get any.

A dead criminal who's body Sciona takes over. It's implied that she's part of some kind of drug cartel. She has the power to secrete some kind of substance through her hands that induces feelings of intense euphoria.

A six-armed DemonHunter Vigilante who kidnaps Tamatha and attempts to interrogate her to learn more about the Twilight Council

* DemonHunter

* ThisCannotBe: When she fights Sydney and Sidney's wig comes off, revealing her identity, she's stunned at the implication that Arcon is in league with "the Darkness."

* MageKiller: Not just mages, but several other kinds if supernatural beings as well.

* CombatTentacles: It's left arm is a large tentacle.

* TheWormThatWalks: Its essentially a mass of tentacles contained in portions of armor.

* TheMole: For Sciona on the Council and among the Semper Vigilantis

** [[spoiler: A later strip implies that he's fused with the also NotQuiteDead Cooter Jones]].

* LightIsNotGood: He's an evil doctor with a mouthful of fangs who wears all white

* EnemyMine: He's willing to ally with "monsters" in order to get his revenge.
