Venasso was the first monster that Martin Mystery ever caught, sharing that trait with Venasso. Appears in Lovespell from the Underworld.

* ShapeShifting: Venasso's primary ability, is to change her shape. Like a normal chameleon, she can take the colour of her environment, making her invisible. She can also change her shape to look like whoever she wants to, like M.O.M, Vivian Michelle (Martin's first crush), and Martin himself.

!! Venasso

* BrotherSisterTeam: With Martin.

%%* GreenEyes

* {{Jerkass}}: Arguably less of a jerk than Martin, mostly because her jerkassery is generally centered around Martin himself and is ''sometimes'' but definitely not always, or even usually, provoked.

* NerdsAreSexy: Not exactly a nerd, but Martin certainly thinks she is.

* SpacePirates: Once the leader of a vast army, but it became too much for him, and after years of behavioural adjustment at the Center, became the Billy we know and love.

%%* BewareTheNiceOnes

* UnknownRival: Doesn't seem to be aware that Martin is jealous of him or even that he dislikes him in his first few appearances. He tends to respond to Martin's jeers with oblivious kindness.

* SkepticNoLonger: After the second time he gets involved in the paranormal (which involves him being possessed by a pre-historic worm), he is finally told of the Center.

* LikeFatherLikeSon: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. Their interests are completely the total opposite of each other, which results in some conflict in the episodes he's with Martin, which is both of his appearances (his video call with Martin and Diana on the Christmas episode doesn't count).

* InvisibleParents: Not Gerard, per se, but we never see Diana's mother in the entire series.

%%* AgentMulder

%%* CasanovaWannabe: And never get to be.

%%* {{Keet}}

%%* TheTrickster

%%* ActionGirl
%%* AgentScully

* OvershadowedByAwesome: Almost 2/3 of the time she is OVERSHADOWED by Martin.

%%* HulkSpeak

* AllCavemenWereNeanderthals: [[PlayedWithTrope Played with]]. He has the gorilla-like build of a stereotypical caveman and the HulkSpeak, but on several occasions, he's shown himself to be decently intelligent or at least resourceful. See BrainsAndBrawn.

%%* AllCavemenWereNeanderthals
%%* TheBigGuy

* NotSoAboveItAll: While she's typically the more mature and responsible one of her and Martin and is definitely more academically-inclined than her stepbrother, Diana can arguably be just as petty and immature. She likes to think she's the smart, mature one and that Martin is TheFool, but she spends quite a lot of time being as immature and petty as her brother - just in a more dignified way.

* PromotedToLoveInterest: Inverted: she's Martin's ''wife'' in the comic and gets turned into his stepsister for this series.

* ParentalFavoritism: Doesn't mean it, but he does like Diana a bit more than Martin. A bit of a TearJerker, considering Martin's his biological child.

* PuppeteerParasite: forcibly takes over his hosts, and through his touch, can also make other beings his slaves.

* NiceGuy: His characterization in his first few appearances, as part of his whole "[[TheAce like Martin but absolutely perfect]]" characterization. He loses this quite a bit after he gets ReassignedtoAntarctica.
