!! Antagonists
[[folder:The Phoenix Mage]]
Tyler Forrester, CEO of Alpha Q. The wielder of the Phoenix Mage and the main antagonist at the beginning of the story.
----
* AmbitionIsEvil: He seeks to collect all the Miraculouses for himself.
* AntagonistTitle: Wields the eponymous Miraculous and has used his powers for nothing but evil until now.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The CEO of a big company and the wielder of a powerful Miraculous.
* BigBad: Appears to be this.
* BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood: Wants to use the Miraculous of the Four Gods to take control over humanity and save them from climate change at the cost of their ability to choose for themselves.
* BrutalBirdOfPrey: While the species of his Miraculous isn't stated, he demonstrates many traits similar to a bird of prey.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Initially appears to be very similar to Gabriel Agreste/Hawkmoth, given that both are corporate executives who secretly use a winged Miraculous to turn people into supervillains in order to gain more Miraculous. However, the similarities end there. Forrester has no relation to our main characters save for being Marvin's boss, and is far more ambitious, using the Miraculous for the benefit of his corporation as well as to acquire other Miraculouses.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: A multi-billionaire who happens to use his Miraculous for personal gain.
* TheCorrupter: Like Hawk Moth, his Miraculous allows him to turn people into monster, only worse since they basically become mindless brutes.
* CynicismCatalyst: His company was nearly ruined because he didn't turn to dishonest, exploitative practices to increase profits.
* DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans: How Morgan sees his goals. He wants to use the power of the Miraculous for the few to tear down their corrupt society and remake it in his vision.
* {{Expy}}: Of Norman Osborn/The Green Goblin from ''Film/SpiderMan1'', being a CEO screwed over by his shareholders who becomes a masked, flying supervillain.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Is shown to be disturbed by the Nightmare King's brutality, such as his hatred of Morgan and willingness to kill Moof.
* FeatheredFiend: Uses an avian Miraculous to wreak havoc and achieve his evil goals.
* {{Foil}}: To Morgan. Both Morgan and Forrester were screwed over by their higher-ups- be it the police or board members- and were cast down, only to gain the power of the Miraculous. Whereas Morgan uses her powers for good and shares it with her companions, Forrester abandons the ideals he once held to use the Miraculous for his own personal gain.
* GottaCatchThemAll: Wants to collect the Miraculous of the Four Auspicious Beasts.
* HobbesWasRight: Thoroughly believes that HumansAreMorons and that the only way to save them from climate change and their mindlessness is to use the Miraculous to brainwash them.
* MonsterProtectionRacket: His business model, using his Miraculous to summon monsters and scare customers into buying his security systems.
* MotiveRant: Goes on a ''chapter long'' rant in chapter 25 explaining humanity's stupidity, climate change, the SuperheroParadox, and arranging their final showdown.
* NobleDemon: When he briefly captures Morgan to parley with her, he does not remove her mask to be a good sport.
* ShoutOut: The design for his Phoenix Mage persona was based off of Riggan Thomson's hero costume from ''Film/BirdmanOrTheUnexpectedVirtueOfIgnorance''.
* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: Gives this message during his monologue, believing that humanity is too stupid and self-interested to improve itself without his guidance.
* StartOfDarkness: The flashback at the beginning of chapter 21 reveals he became a villain after his company was nearly liquidated for dissapointing stockholders, something that came about by not resorting to predatory business practices.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Unlike Morgan, who's secretly hero but publicly a pariah after being falsely accused of stalking, Tyler is revered as a skilled businessman while secretly using his Miraculous to wreak havoc.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Galvanized Monsters]]
The Phoenix Mage's version of Akumatized villains. Many of the tropes with the original crossover here.
----
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: All of them have dark indigo hides.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Whereas Hawkmoth's creations were bright, campy supervillains with non-lethal methods, the same cannot be said of these minions. All of them are violent brutes who pose a serious threat to our main characters.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Couldn't watch a sitcom or get a bag of chips? New monster.
* EliteMooks: As of chapter 12 they gain a significant upgrade.
* ShoutOut: Their catchphrase "I AM THY DARKEST DESIRES, THY TRUEST SELF!" is an almost direct quote from the shadow's own motto from VideoGame/Persona4.
* TheUnfettered: Born from the despair of civilians and greatly exaggerated.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Alpha Q]]
Forrester's Security Company:
* CorporateConspiracy: It's CEO is using his Miraculous to use supervillains to scare the public into buying his products.
* FictionalCounterpart: To Facebook, as both have a spotty record when dealing with user privacy.
* SinisterSurveillance: Uses omni-present cameras for security, catching future criminals and even selling data to advertisers.
* UnfortunateName: ''Alpha Q''.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Mr. Hawkins]]
Max's landlord.
----
* EvilDebtCollector: Is portrayed very antagonistically towards Max and his family while constantly harassing them for said house payment.
* {{Expy}}: For obvious reasons, is one of Mr. Goodman from ''WebVideo/SuperMarioLogan''.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Dr. Nicole Cho]]
Dr. Nicole Cho, the head counselor of the school.
----
* AdultFear: The idea of teenager's mental health being in the hands of someone as abusive and controllng as her, ''especially'' regarding Moof.
* BigBadEnsemble: The main antagonist during the segments at Waterloo High.
* BullyingTheDisabled: A hobby of hers. During a test, she denies a dyslexic student his right to extended time and drags away deaf kid for using a hearing aid.
* ControlFreak: Believes she's entitled to have control over the students as counselor.
* CountryMatters: 99% of its invocations involve her, and for good reason.
* EvilIsPetty: Her response to being stood up to by a teenager, humiliate her in front of everyone by proxy and frame her older brother.
* {{Expy}}: Of an abusive counselor the author had in middle school. Was also written as a female human version of [[Series/StrangerThings The Mind Flayer]], being an immature, manipulative psychopath. So basically the same thing.
* HateSink: ''IMMEDIATELY'' promoted to this upon reading what she did to Moof.
* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: Despite the Phoenix Mage and his creations being the official main villains, Dr. Cho stands out as being the most heinous ''thing'' in the entire story.
* KickTheDog: Many throughout the series, throwing out Morgan's lunch just to get her to come to the office, framing Max for humiliating his sister, bullying disabled students, etc.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: While still one of the worst characters in the story, one of her victims is Principal Roy, local DeanBitterman and practitioner of SexualExtortion.
* KnightOfCerebus: Unlike the Phoenix Mage, who is a campy supervillain, Dr. Cho is a straight-up abuser in a position of power over students and is played disturbingly straight.
* LackOfEmpathy: Shows very little hesitation or pity during any of her actions.
* MisplacedKindergartenTeacher: A particularly dark take on this trope. Treats high-school age students like toddlers, if not dogs.
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Is a psychotic abuser yet still holds the title of doctor.
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Her inhumane behavior throughout the work promotes her to this.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: She abuses the disabled, need we say more.
* PsychoPsychologist: Cares more for asserting dominance than actually giving a damn about students mental health.
* RedArmbandOfLeadership: Oddly enough, her badge of office as head of the counseling office, though obviously meant to invoke PuttingOnTheReich.
* SadistTeacher: Very clearly enjoys making students miserable.
* WickedStepmother: Made Moof's life a living hell.
* YouHaveFailedMe: Is met with this by Principal Roy shorty before his attempted SexualExtortion and her [[AssholeVictim execution of him]].
[[/folder]]

* AssholeVictim: Given what he tried to do, it was well deserved.
* BaldOfEvil: Is bald and evil.
* BoomHeadshot: How Dr. Cho deals with him.
* BullyingADragon: Attempts to have his way with Dr. Cho. Needless to say, it ''does not'' end well for him.
* DeanBitterman: Quickly established to be a jerkass by letting Dr. Cho run free and repeatedly harassing Morgan.
* {{Expy}}: Of Principal Kobayakawa from ''VideoGame/Persona5'', as both are fat principals who serve as antagonists.
** During his last scene, he also becomes one of [[Series/SquidGame VIP 4]].
* FatBastard: Described as morbidly obese and cares more for rules than ''student safety''.
* HateSink: A student nearly froze to death on a skiing trip under his watch simply for not having the right vaccination card.
* MoleInCharge: Is secretly in cahoots with Forrester and helps with trying to uncover the heroes' identities.
* PaedoHunt: Says that a female student "found a way to stay warm even though she forgot her card".
* SlaveToPR: Well above the students' well-being.
* TooDumbToLive: Attempts to have his way with someone as viscous as Dr. Cho.
* YouHaveFailedMe: After failing to apprehend Team Arctic, The Phoenix Mage threatens him with this.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Gary Mylson]]
Gary Mylson, a local bully at Waterloo High.
----
* AssholeVictim: Given his frequent bullying of our main characters, he got what he deserved. ''Especially'' the second time.
* TheBully: A textbook example, casually stealing from other students and harassing them on behalf of Dr. Cho.
* BullyingADragon: Learns the hard way that Morgan is not to be fucked with.
* TheDragon: To Dr. Cho, who uses him as a proxy to harass students.
* {{Expy}}: Of Bully Bill from ''WebVideo/SuperMarioLogan'', as both are shallow thugs who learn the hard way not to fuck with the main character.
* FightingBackIsWrong: {{Defied}} by Morgan. She gives him one final chance to apologize for humiliating their group, and when he shows he didn't regret it, she ''fucking makes him regret it''.
* {{Gonk}}: Is easily one of the ugliest humans in the series given his porcine, wart-covered face.
* HateSink: Is devoid of any likeable traits and constantly harasses other students for kicks.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: A well-deserved victim of this from Morgan. Twice.
* KilledOffScreen: During chapter 22 his body is simply seen lying dead on his desk in the classroom with no explanation. No one seems to care.
* PutOnABusToHell: Gary Mylson was sent to the E.R. in critical condition for failing to apologize for what he did.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Nightmare King]]
Another Miraculous User who shows up at the end of chapter 15. His identity is unknown, for now...
----
* ArchEnemy: Declares that he's this to White Shadow, even though the latter has no idea who he is.
* BloodKnight: While he's practically a ''literal'' example, he takes great glee in battle.
* CharClone: Checks most of the boxes, as he has a red aesthetic, a CoolMask, is an EnigmaticMinion of the BigBad, has a RedBaron title, and has a mysterious rivalry with Morgan, the hero.
* DarkIsEvil: Wears dark armor and massacres without remorse.
* DragonKnight: Uses a draconic Miraculous and has a knightly aesthetic.
* EnigmaticMinion: Works alongside the Phoenix Mage yet refuses to give any info on his backstory or motives beyond working for the mafia.
* EvilIsVisceral: His armor is described as being the color of dried blood.
* GenreRefugee: While this fanfic makes no attempt to hide its darker tone, this character's appearance and actions are far more in line with something a reader would find in ''Manga/{{Berserk}}''.
* HiddenAgendaVillain: All we know of his motivations are his lust for battle and his hatred of Morgan.
* HostageSituation: Uses Moof as a hostage in order to escape.
* ItsPersonal: Upon finding out that Morgan was White Shadow all along, drops everything to chase after her.
* KnightOfCerebus: His introductory scene is nothing short of a massacre.
* LudicrousGibs: Inflicts this on a pack of guards sent after him.
* TheMafia: Used his powers to do their dirty work before abandoning them.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: I mean, really?
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: If his name didn't give it away, every time he's seen on screen things take a turn for the darker and worse.
* RageHelm: His helmet is said to resemble a howling dragon.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Has this color scheme, does the Mafia's dirty work, and ''massacres'' a bunch of guards in his first appearance.
* RedIsViolent: Do we even need to explain at this point?
* SerratedBladeOfPain: Uses a serrated longsword.
* SpikesOfVillainy: His armor is coated in spikes.
* SuperEmpowering: Capable of lending his dark energy to Forrester for larger attacks.
* WouldHurtAChild: Tried to throw Moof, a fifteen year old, into a DeadlyRotaryFan to buy the Phoenix Mage time to escape.

!!Other Characters
[[folder:Julian]]
The classmate who ruined Morgan's life before the story.
----
* ArcWords: "I'll call the fucking police!" the words that stuck with Morgan the most, capturing how he not only manipulated them into enacting the opposite of justice, but showing how corrupt and inept the system was.
* EvilIsPetty: And ''HOW?!'' Simply for getting in the way of his attempted kidnapping, he falsifies a story about Morgan not only stalking him but sending a threatening letter and possessing a weapon.
* GratuitousItalian: Shouts "Nessuna pieta, figa maledetto" at Morgan during their brawl, not a very kind word to call someone in there...
* FourEyesZeroSoul: Wears Glasses and has no empathy beneath.
* HateSink: ''By far'' the biggest example so far, as his deed is what ruined Morgan's life in the first place.
* JerkJock: Was on the school's baseball team and is a violent crook.
* KnightOfCerebus: All pretenses of goofy hijinks vanish at his mere mention.
* RambunctiousItalian: If by rambunctious you mean an irredeemable sociopath, then yes.
* TheScottishTrope: {{Justified}}. The police made it clear to Morgan she'd be torn to shreds if she even said his name in public.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: His father was on the school council and probably worked to falsify the story of Julian being stalked.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Has only appeared for one chapter in a flashback yet started the entire conflict.
* TeensAreMonsters: Not much older than Morgan but is well-versed in using chloroform and switchblades.

Gary Mylson, a local bully at Waterloo High.

* BullyingADragon: Learns the hard way that Morgan is not to be fucked with.
* TheDragon: To Dr. Cho, who uses him as a proxy to harass students.
* {{Expy}}: Of Bully Bill from ''WebVideo/SuperMarioLogan'', as both are shallow thugs who learn the hard way not to fuck with the main character.
* FightingBackIsWrong: {{Defied}} by Morgan. She gives him one final chance to apologize for humiliating their group, and when he shows he didn't regret it, she ''fucking makes him regret it''.

* HateSink: Is devoid of any likeable traits and constantly harasses other students for kicks.

* ItsPersonal: Upon finding out that Morgan was White Shadow all along, drops everything to chase after her.

!!Other Characters
[[folder:Julian]]
The classmate who ruined Morgan's life before the story.
----
* ArcWords: "I'll call the fucking police!" the words that stuck with Morgan the most, capturing how he not only manipulated them into enacting the opposite of justice, but showing how corrupt and inept the system was.
* EvilIsPetty: And ''HOW?!'' Simply for getting in the way of his attempted kidnapping, he falsifies a story about Morgan not only stalking him but sending a threatening letter and possessing a weapon.
* GratuitousItalian: Shouts "Nessuna pieta, figa maledetto" at Morgan during their brawl, not a very kind word to call someone in there...
* FourEyesZeroSoul: Wears Glasses and has no empathy beneath.

* JerkJock: Was on the school's baseball team and is a violent crook.
* KnightOfCerebus: All pretenses of goofy hijinks vanish at his mere mention.
* RambunctiousItalian: If by rambunctious you mean an irredeemable sociopath, then yes.
