History Characters / KingdomCome

* AntiHero: Sets himself up as the paragon of the "new" generation of heroes, directly comparing himself to what Superman was to his generation of heroes in that way. Needless to say what he represents barely passes for anything called a "hero".
* TheAtoner: After the Kansas incident Magog is an empty shell of what he once was. No more bluster or bravado, he's grief stricken and utterly broken. Willingly lets himself be housed in the Gulag.

* BoomStick: His signature weapon, what he uses to kill the Joker and then again in his rage against Superman despite knowing it would be useless against him.

* ManlyTears: Both when confronted by Superman in Kansas and in the Gulag as the other inmates merely rage.
* MoralPragmatist: He subscribed to the use of force to achieve ends, however grisly. As a way to StateTheSimpleSolution, he opts to just kill The Joker after he massacred hundreds (including Lois Lane); the fact that the public sided with Magog makes Superman abandon the pursuit of justice and heroics in general. Things begin escalating with Superman gone, and Magog's brutal methods catch up to him when his team causes the Kansas incident that kills millions.

The ultra-violent new generation of "super heroes" who care more about aggressive displays of power than saving lives.

* WouldHitAGirl: Hell, snap her neck. Coolly and effortlessly. '''Over an incorrect drink order.'''

* BeardOfEvil

* DoubleAgent: It's implied that he is at the Liberation Front as a mole for Batman.

* UsedToBeASweetKid: This is Billy Batson, one of the most optimistic {{Kid Hero}}es in all of comics and used as a representation of the old school fun the medium and the superhero genre brings to the table. But the increasing darkness of the next generation heroes and the world was too much for Billy and the good Captain, leaving the boy in a vulnerable enough state for Luthor to swoop in and groom him into his servant.

* KidHeroAllGrownUp: As it turns out, the man in the tuxedo serving Lex Luthor is not Captain Marvel but an untransformed adult Billy Batson. ''Kingdom Come'' is also one of the most notable examples where it's confirmed that Captain Marvel is an adult version of Billy.
* MadnessMantra: By the last act of the comic, Billy's brain has been tormented so much that all he can say is "Shazam!" over and over.

* FatBastard: He's gained weight in his old age.

* NonActionBigBad: As the lynchpin of the criminal conspiracy to bring down the Justice League (and rule the world), he never gets his hands dirty, preferring to let others do his dirty work and using the brainwashed Captain Marvel as his personal bodyguard. He and his sworn foe Superman never even come face-to-face with each other within this story.

* AwTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Not that there was ever really any doubt, but despite the Dynamic Duo going their separate ways long before the events of this story (and Batman's claim that the two never really saw eye to eye), Batman smiles as he visits and warmly shakes the hand of his old sidekick as he recuperates in his hospital bed.

* EyeScream: Suffers an injury during the climactic battle that damages his right eye, but not permanently.

* CanonForeigner: One of the only purely original characters to choose either Superman or Batman's side. Even Pheobus of the League is vaguely connected by being Firestorm's successor.

A New Goddess who idolizes Batman and her steed a horse-like bat creature (presumably also from the Fourth World).

* HumansAreSpecial: Is an alien from a godlike race but idolizes a human superhero, one without any powers to boot, enough to make her home on Earth and even die for his cause.

* PsychoSupporter: Is on the team of the closest thing the story has to a pacifist and is [=BATshit=] insane.

* ArchaicWeaponForAnAdvancedAge: Sports a crossbow as her way to honor her father as well.

* StylisticSuck: Played with. Alex Ross designed Magog with every superhero cliché he despised from 90's comics: pouches and superfluous belts everywhere, missing an eye, a brutal edgelord personality, etcetera; in other words, [[ComicBook/{{Cable}} Cable]]. The fact that he ended up looking awesome despite that leaves in evidence the quality of Ross' work.

[[folder:Martian Man-Hunter]]

* AmbiguousSituation: In the novelization, she's explicitly stated to have died during the explosion at the story's climax, while the original comic leaves it ambiguous as to whether she survived (with ''ComicBook/TheKingdomDCComics'' seemingly confirming she lived).
* AntagonisticOffspring: Her father was one of Superman's first recruits in the Justice League and she instead has chosen to follow Batman.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: Zigzagged. Lived to adulthood here but still dies before the story is over.

Lian Harper, the daughter of Red Arrow and the assassin Cheshire.

* AdaptationDyeJob: In regular continuity she is raven haired, here she is portrayed as a redhead like her father.
* AntagonisticOffspring: Her father is on Superman's side, she chose Batman.
* FieryRedhead: A ginger here rather than dark haired like her mother (as she was in the regular continuity).

* RedRidingHoodReplica: Harper followed in her father, Red Arrow's footsteps and became an archer. She took his color scheme and based her superhero identity and costume on Little Red Riding Hood, calling herself Red Hood.
* UncannyFamilyResemblance: When the Kingdom Come Teen Titans briefly travelled to the main DC Earth, Red Hood's younger counterpart noticed how much she resembled Cheshire. When Arsenal sees Lian and Red Hood standing next to one another, he's genuinely unnerved by their similar appearances, especially when Lian asked if he noticed Red Hood looks like her mom.

* AntagonisticOffspring: Like her friends is opposing her parent by choosing Batman over Superman but they remain quite amicable and she is shown saving her father during the final battle and sitting by his bedside as he recuperates.
* DatingCatwoman: Becomes romantically involved with Ibn over the course of the story (while she's meant to be undermining his evil organization from within), even protecting him from her own team when they inevitably turn on their villainous "allies".
* FlyingBrick: Not as strong as her mother but still stronger than a normal human being.

* HeelFaceTurn: Originally seen among the New Breed, engaging in the same disastrous fights as the others, then became a prominent member of Batman's team.

The Dark Knight of Gotham now broken after years of pushing his body to the limit and having his secret identity exposed.

* SecretPublicIdentity: Subverted. Most everyone just calls him Batman instead of Bruce Wayne after his identity got exposed and Wayne Manor got wrecked.

Those who have aligned themselves with Batman and seek to represent humanity in this war between Gods.
