History Characters / JusticeLeagueDark

* AnimalisticAbomination: As one of [[spoiler:the new Lords of Chaos]] and after Klarion gets in his head and preys on his insecurities to influence him to [[spoiler:create a new, possibly magic based formula]] The result is "something out a [[Creator/DavidCronenberg Cronenberg.]] film" with far too many mouths for anyone's comfort.

* WhatTheHellHero: To Nabu and the Lords of Order when he finds out about [[spoiler: their plans to destroy magic.]]

* BikerBabe: At least in the first few issues of the first series.

* UglyCute: He's got the head and face of a bat, but his enthusiasm makes him still look strangely endearing.

!!Khalid Nassour a.k.a. [[spoiler:Doctor Fate]]

Egyptian-American medical student, great-nephew of Kent Nelson (the original Doctor Fate) and the previous ComicBook/DoctorFate. [[spoiler: After spending much of the first arc trapped inside a vase by Nabu, he's released by Man-Bat and essentially browbeats Nabu into not only letting him be Fate again, but letting him have the driving seat]].

[[hardline]]

* PhysicalGod: As Doctor Fate, he's got borderline CosmicEntity levels of raw magical power, and physical power to go up against the likes of {{ComicBook/Superman}}.

A list of characters from the comic book ''ComicBook/JusticeLeagueDark''. For the animated version, [[Characters/DCAnimatedMovieUniverse go here]].

* AllLovingHero: As ever. This aspect of her character is both praised and criticised by allies and enemies alike, but it proves crucial in [[spoiler: defeating and potentially rehabilitating Circe]].
* DealWithTheDevil: Bargains with the Upside-Down Man to get another crack at [[spoiler: Circe, who's wielding the full power of Hecate]].

* AnimalisticAbomination: As one of [[spoiler: the new Lords of Chaos]] and after Klarion gets in his head and preys on his insecurities to influence him to [[spoiler: create a new, possibly magic based formula]]. The result is "something out a [[Creator/DavidCronenberg Cronenberg]] film" with far too many mouths for anyone's comfort.

* TheSmartGuy: He's a former MadScientist (mostly) who applies the scientific method to magic. Since [[MagicAIsMagicA magic has rules]] and Kirk has a very open mind, it actually works surprisingly well - he manages to break [[spoiler: Nabu's]] spell on [[spoiler: Khalid Nassour]] that trapped him in the form of a vase. That's right, he figured out how to break a spell by [[spoiler: ''Doctor Fate'']]. That takes doing.

* BroughtDownToBadass: In the first arc of the second series, she can't use her backwards magic because of how - thanks to the Otherkind - it's going badly wrong. She's still a capable fighter, very knowledgeable, and finds ways around her limitations, such as [[spoiler: stealing the power of the Demons Three]].

* StepfordSmiler: In the first issue, Batman tells Zatanna that she is not stable, and most later references imply that she still hasn't gotten over [[spoiler:watching her father burn to death because of John's actions]]. It haunts her right through the second series, especially after finding out that he's [[spoiler: trapped in the Other-Place]] - she spends a good chunk of the next series obsessed with trying to save him.

!!Khalid Nassour a.k.a. [[spoiler: Doctor Fate]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/doctor_fate_justice_league_dark_2.png]]

* HesBack: As [[spoiler: Doctor Fate, having persuaded Nabu to grant him full control]].

* ReasonYouSuckSpeech: Delivers a vicious one to Nabu, pointing out that thanks to his previous actions, the heroes would rather risk unleashing ''[[EldritchAbomination Eclipso]]'' than turn to him for help. This is part of how he persuades Nabu to [[spoiler: surrender full control of Doctor Fate to him]].

* WhatTheHellHero: To Nabu and the Lords of Order when he finds out about [[spoiler: their plans to destroy magic]].

!!ComicBook/MadameXanadu
[[quoteright:236:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/madame_xanadu_9.jpg]]

!!ComicBook/{{Deadman}}

In life, Boston Brand was an acrobat, and a massive jerk... until he was shot during his act one night. As the ghost Deadman, he seeks to do good in the world as penance for his behavior in life.

* AllMenArePerverts: Tries to get Dove to engage in a lesbian kiss with June Moone while he's in control of the latter's body. It's implied that this wasn't Boston's fault, but a result of the Enchantress's madness affecting his personality. Although he ''did'' try to have sex with Dawn in the body of a random civilian, which was entirely his own idea.
* TheAtoner: Why he is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold rather than just a jerk.
* DeadpanSnarker
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He is much more firmly entrenched in this trope than Constantine, mostly because he hates being dead and unable to touch the people he loves.
* MundaneUtility: He possesses a guy, both because he needed to talk to someone, and because he wanted to taste a cheeseburger again.
* TheNicknamer: Calls Zatanna 'darling', and John 'con job'.
* PowersViaPossession: Inverted. He hijacks people's bodies in order to use ''their'' powers, as the only power he has is being a dead acrobat.
* WeWantOurJerkBack: When John is unable to lie in the Books of Magic arc, Boston complains about John's newfound sincerity.
* YankTheDogsChain: [[spoiler:Boston is brought back to life when he travels to a parallel universe brimming with unpredictable magic, and promptly killed.]]

!!Felix Faust
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/felix_faust.png]]

* TheAlcoholic: He drinks, a ''lot''. This is partially justified [[DrowningYourSorrows by his profound depression following what happened to the last Nightmaster, a good friend of his,]] partially by - as he points out - a flawless memory meaning that it's actually really hard to focus when trying to translate an obscure text because his mind is constantly throwing up memories of where he's seen phrases and similar before.

* YourCheatingHeart: Her relationship with Nick slowly withered as he obsessed over the Books of Magic, and she turned to John for comfort. Nick doesn't particularly care, which makes the situation [[GoodAdulteryBadAdultery uncomfortable but not outright bad]]. [[spoiler:When he begs them for help, they go to save him out of guilt. However, it was a ploy for Nick to kill John and Zatanna, which makes them ultimately sympathetic.]]
