* AffectionateNickname: Paperinik usually calls her [[WhatBeautifulEyes "Beautiful Eyes"]] ("Occhi Belli" in Italian). Becomes funnier when she is BroughtDownToNormal and recovers her true look... Including her gorgeous emerald green eyes.

* ArchEnemy: To the '''whole''' Evronian Empire.
* AsLethalAsItNeedsToBe: Invoked: she developed a kind of energy which is lethal only for the Evronians, while only being '' very '' painful for other races like earthlings. Is a good thing too, considering she once attacked Paperinik mistaking him for an Evronian or when she started hallucinating.

* BadassBoast: After she ends up on an Evronian ship:
-->'''Evronian''': "The party has ended for you!"
-->'''Xadhoom''': "This is where you are wrong, Evronian! Look at me... I'm all alone, in the heart of an enemy base, surrounded by thousands of warriors! '''The party for me begins NOW!'''"
* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: Justified, as not needing to breathe is one of her powers.
* BeautifulAllAlong: The one time she recovered her pre-mutation look, Paperinik found out she was ''gorgeous''.
* TheBerserker: Subverted: she on a rampage for revenge and is often furious, but can't really lose control or would become a supernova and explode.
* BewareTheSuperman: For the Evronians; she is possibly the most powerful being in the Universe and has a personal vendetta against them. Even Paperinik had to face this a couple of times, such as during their first encounter, or the time she was hallucinating.
* BigDamnHeroes: She does it regulary, so much that both she and Paperinik start {{lampshading}} it.
-->'''Evronian:''' "This time Paperinik is not here to save you!"
-->'''Xadhoom:''' "Actually, it's usually the other way around!"
* BigNo: When she returns to Xerba after the experiment. Also when she thought [[spoiler:Paperinik had become a Coolflame]].
* BloodKnight: She greatly enjoys fighting Evronians and at times complains that it's almost too easy.
* BookEnds: [[spoiler:The beginning of Xadhoom involved a dying sun, and her end involved a new-born sun. It ended the way it began...]]
* BreakTheCutie: From what we have seen in flashbacks, she used to be a nice and somewhat shy woman who loved dancing and the stars, and wished nothing more than avert the impending loss of energy of Xerba, with her slight arrogance justified by her being the greatest astrophysicist in Xerba's history (it's mentioned she beat the greatest achievement of her predecessor when she was much younger than him). Then, as she successfully completed an experiment to obtain an eternal power source (and ''[[PhysicalGoddess becoming that power source]]''), Xerba was [[WeComeInPeaceShootToKill invaded by the same aliens she had just signed a trading treaty with]]...
* BroughtDownToBadass: Happens in PKNA #28 due to the sight of a Coolflame that [[spoiler:looked identical to Xari]]. At the end of the issue it's revealed [[spoiler:she never lost her powers: it was the result of her wish the Evronian invasion of Xerba and her powers had never happened, and subconsciously acted on it when she saw that Coolflame]]. The Evronian SuperSoldier convinced of having killed her was disintegrated shortly thereafter.
* BroughtDownToNormal: In "Chronicle of a Return" [[spoiler:due to the Entomeks absorbing the power of the sun she transformed into]]. She gets her powers back after [[spoiler:[[CrazyAwesome ''jumping into our sun'']]]].
* BurningWithAnger: Not done very often, but yes.
* CapturedSuperEntity: The Evronians tried to do this to her multiple times. She always escaped, usually thanks to her powers and sometimes with Paperinik's help.
* CasualInterstellarTravel: Averted: she doesn't do it for casual reasons, and [[ShownTheirWork intergalactic distances are portrayed accurately]], making it all the more impressive that she can.
* TheChessmaster: She did it just once, right before her [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice]].
* ComboPlatterPowers:
** [[HandBlast Energy Projection]].
** {{Flight}}
** BizarreAlienSenses: Can sense energy emissions. Justified as part of her mutation.
** [[IntangibleMan Phasing through solid objects]]
** SuperStrength
** ShapeShifting: Downplayed, as she's only able to change her skin color, and open a hole in her body. [[ComicBook/XMen Mystique]] and [[ComicBook/TeenTitans Beast Boy]]-level feats are beyond her.
** SuperSpeed: Sufficient to traverse galactic distances, in an unknown amount of time, though considerably less than two years, in-universe.
** NighInvulnerability: To an extreme extent; physical injuries don't particularly faze her, no matter how severe; now disrupting or siphoning her energy could prove lethal... Were she to allow her opponent an hour or two for either method.
** StoryBreakerPower: What she's generally acknowledged by everyone as having.
** PlayingWithFire
*** ElementalShapeshifter: In as much as a super-science based PhysicalGoddess can be this: in spaceflight and combat, everything below her waist has occasionally become a shapeless, flame-like substance. [[WildMassGuessing This may or may not be her true form, after her mutation]].
*** FlamingHair: Once, when she was depowered.
*** WreathedInFlames: Rarer than the above two, but it has happened.
** [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway Bizarrely, the ability to generate her spacesuit]]. Justified: Not only does she control matter and energy, but in PKNA #28 "Metamorphosis" it is implied that it has literally become her skin.
** PsychoactivePowers: A prerequisite for Xadhoom's powers to work is a measure of belief that she even has them: without that, they don't work. At all.
* CurbStompBattle: Xadhoom has the power of a sun inside her. Fighting her head-on is pointless, and should only be done when a distraction is needed.
* DaddysGirl: When she was Xado: [[spoiler:a backup of her personality]] still talks fondly about him.
-->"One far away! Someone you don't know. But who had always know me better than everyone!"
* DyingMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler:Killing herself to become a sun and ensure her people's survival. As of ''New Era'', it was revealed her death has been only apparent.]]
* DidNotGetTheBoy: [[spoiler:Even after finding Xari and saving the Xerbians, she realized they were too different and that he would be happier with [[SecondLove Xalya]]. She then went for her HeroicSacrifice.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Really, the only kind of humor she is capable of by now.
* DependingOnTheWriter: It's inconsistent in-between issues whether Xadhoom is composed of PureEnergy, a Mutant, or a mixture of matter and energy: WordOfGod says it's the latter, in-story Xadhoom claims to be [[EnergyBeing the former]], and the middle option is unlikely, as she's only referred to as that once, by an Evronian.
* {{Determinator}}: [[spoiler:PKNE revealed she was constantly exploding and reforming as a star, ignoring the pain, to give heat and energy to her people... for ''years''.]] Even Paperinik, famous for his willpower, was impressed.
* TheDreaded: The Evronians have a well-motivated fear of Xadhoom, considering she is an indestructible being with the power of a star inside her, and she's hell-bent on eradicating every last one of them.
* DistractedByMyOwnSexy: during "Metamorphosis", she spends a moment looking at at her reflection. Arguably Justified in that she had reverted to her pre-mutated state at the time.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Xadhoom is only briefly seen as a silhouette in the very first issue. Two issues later, she gets her proper introduction.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Xadhoom's introduction: she bursts through that wall and stars taking down the Evronians who got Paperinik cornered.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Xadhoom is Xerbian for 'creditor', and the Evronians owe her her homeworld and entire species (when told about the meaning of her name, PK admits that it explained everything, given his own issues with creditors). Notable because she acts like a creditor until the end, [[spoiler:ceasing her hunt for every Evronians after blowing up their Worldship with their Emperor, the Imperial Senate and many of their best and brightest generals and scientists on it, and saving the survivors of her people.]]
** EvilDebtCollector: {{Invoked}} by her choice of name, from the Evronian point of view.
* FakingTheDead: In a short story, Xadhoom pretended to be dead by reducing her vital functions in order to get inside a spaceship she couldn't destroy from the outside.
* GeniusBruiser: Xerba is a PlanetOfHats where everybody is a kind of scientist, and she was the best astrophysicist ''in Xerba's whole history''.
* GenreBlind: Surprisingly, Xadhoom fails to consider that just maybe the Evronians' new gadget can actually affect her, something that has actually happened ''four times'' (the first being in her very first appearance, and the third right after she remarked they can't do anything to her). [[ItOnlyWorksOnce Not that she'll let it work again after being hit once]], or [[HeroicWillpower will allow the fourth attempt to actually defeat her]]...
* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:Musters one up when she's about to transform herself into a sun for her people.]]
* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: Her past self, that is.
* {{Hallucinations}}: at the beginning of ''Shooting Star'' she is wounded by an Evronian superweapon: this causes her to mistake ordinary people (and Paperinik) for Evronians for most of the issue. Thankfully the kind of energy she uses to kill the Evronians is not lethal for earthlings.
* HeroicBlueScreenOfDeath: Seeing Xari as a Coolflame [[spoiler:actually a justifed case of IdenticalStranger]] causes her a mental breakdown [[spoiler:apparently]] stripping her of her powers.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:She becomes a sun to allow her people to survive. She's inadvertently restored by the En'tomek when they try to absorb her, thinking she's a regular star.]]
* HeroicWillpower: In ''Under a New Sun'' the Emperor of Evron had managed to capture her by holding the Xerbian survivors hostage, and his scientist were trying to torture her into exploding to use her as a perpetual energy source, but she resisted everything they tried with a smile. It even gets [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by the Emperor when he realizes it...
** The extent of her willpower is fully revealed in ''Chronicle of a Return'', when it's revealed that [[spoiler:the key to her turning into a star was her continuously blowing herself up at a very precise yield and pulling herself back together millions of times every second]]. She did that for ''years'' without the slightest strain.
* HotScientist: Before her mutation. Also after it, though then we're also talking another kind of [[IncrediblyLamePun Hot]] entirely...
* HumanAlien: Subverted a bit; Xerbians have green skin, but are otherwise physically indistinguishable from humans. Played Straight after her mutation.
* HumanoidAbomination: Her levels of power are more akin to a [[EldritchAbomination Cosmic Horror]] than the other characters, hero or villain, and a few panels make it evident that she has no internal anatomy. It sort-of says it all that [[spoiler:when [[MadScientist Zoster]] obtained her powers, he eschewed the whole Humanoid bit and went straight into borderline-EldritchAbomination Galactic Conqueror territory.]]
* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: She is not above a bit of forceful interrogation of Evronians to find out what she needs to know.
* JustAMachine: She has this opinion of One, even offering Paperinik to "fix it" when the computer wasn't in the mood to cooperate.
* IGaveMyWord: After interrogating a number of Evronians, she lets them go because she promised they wouldn't come to any harm.
* ImmuneToBullets: Even when she is weakened, as shown in PKNA #17 "Shooting Star".
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Whatever you do, don't let Xadhoom have a fork!
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler:Asks [[SecondLove Xalya]] to take care of Xari before going off to her HeroicSacrifice.]]
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Subverted; her HeroicSacrifice in PKNA #37 and the somber epilogue to her arc in #46 seemed to mean she was gone for good, although the existence of a virtual backup of her mind appeared to be the possibile mean of a future resurrection. Come PKNE many years later, and it's revealed she never really died.]]
* LeeroyJenkins: Her favorite tactic is simply charging in and kill everybody, so it's difficult to convince her of a more subtle approach. It was already discussed in the first issue she appears.
-->'''Xadhoom:''' "Don't you like a good "First I smash everything,then we talk" style entrance?"
-->'''Paperinik:''' "To make them escape?"
* LetsDance: While she was still Xerbian, Xadhoom loved dancing. After her transformation, "Let's dance!" became one of her battle cries.
* LetsYouAndHimFight: A one-sided case the first time she meets Paperinik: he wants to thank her for saving him from the Evronians; she wants to kill him because she thinks he ''is'' an Evronian.
* LiteralMinded: On one occasion she was on Earth masked as a human, and Angus, after taking her sunglasses, cried "Blow me down!". Xadhoom delivered a MegatonPunch.
* LivingBattery: She intended to become this for the Xerbians.
* MadeOfExplodium: Exploding, [[RequiredSecondaryPowers and reforming]], is one of her powers.
* MeaningfulName: Xadhoom is Xerbian for "creditor", and she intends to have the Evronians pay what they owe.
* MercyKill: She considers killing the Coolflames an act of mercy, thinking their "lives" are a FateWorseThanDeath. She even tried to do this to [[spoiler:Paperinik, when he was seemingly coolflamed in "The Springs of The Moon"]]. However, she unconsciously held back and he survived.
* MissingMom: " In the Shadow" shows that her father is still alive and well, but her mother only appears in a brief flashback of Xado's childhood.
* MonochromaticEyes: Her mutated form has these. Her original Xerbian form has [[WhatBeautifulEyes startling green eyes]].
* NeckLift: Does this to Raghor in PKNA #28 before blowing him up.
* TheNeedless: She doesn't need air, food or sleep, considering she is the embodiment of a sun.
* NominalHero: At the beginning, she didn't care about saving or helping others, only killing Evronians due to revenge.
* TheNoseless: As a side effect of her mutation, she lost her nose and ears.
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: When Paperinik declared they would have defended Duckburg together, she replied with this:
--> '''Xadhoom:''' I'm not here to defend anyone! I just want to purge that Evronian scum from the universe.
* NotSoDifferent: [[LampshadeHanging She herself admits it]] with Porphioolon, [[spoiler:an Evronian]]. [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer No, really.]] She feels they both have grown beyond the limits of their people, yet still feel responsable for them. So much, in fact, that she [[spoiler:[[PetTheDog saves his spore when the Evronian PlanetSpaceship fell into the sun]], while letting the others die.]]
* NotThatKindOfDoctor: Like every adult on her planet she has a doctorate. She is not a medic, but an astrophysicist.
* OneWomanArmy: On one occasion she fought ''three Evronian battlefleets'', using everything they had from warriors with personal weapons to the most powerful guns of the Empire and ''the one weapon that had ever left Xadhoom helpless''. Five pages later, the half-dozen survivors are running like they were pursued by an angry goddess ([[PhysicalGod they were, in a way]]) as soon as they're given the order to retreat. And that weapon capable of defeating Xadhoom missed due to her altering her body, and she disintegrated it soon afterwards.
* OutsideContextProblem: For the most part, Paperinik either faces human-level opponents, or low-level superhumans. The change in the status quo that motivates the existence of ''Paperinik New Adventures'' is the sudden invasion of Earth by a highly advanced galactic empire -- and with them, a super-powered alien named Xadhoom hell-bent on their destruction.
* PayEvilUntoEvil: She is as ruthless as the Evronians she is fighting, if not more.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: With the level and variety of her powers, she can obliterate everything from astroships to planets.
* PhysicalGoddess: She is one of the most powerful beings in Paperinik's universe. She is not entirely physical, though: it's frequently implied, and sometimes outright shown, that the wild-haired, green-eyed [[HumanoidAbomination vaguely-human, er, Xerbian-looking body]] is only a temporary and redundant shell, that Xadhoom can easily alter and reconstruct as she sees fit.
* PowerOfTheSun: Or strong solar associations, anyway.
* PreMortemOneLiner: [[spoiler:"Goodbye Evron. With this, we have closed accounts".]]
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Started one against the Evronians when they conquered her planet.
* SheCleansUpNicely: For most of PKNA #28.
* ShipTease: If she wasn't so determined to find her boyfriend Xari, you might think she was a {{Tsundere}} for Paperinik. She also kisses him in PKNA #17.
* SlasherSmile: What her enemies may see before she destroys them.
* SourOutsideSadInside: She is often angry, callous and abrupt. Considering her adult life has been such a tragedy, she is also deeply hurt.
* SquishyWizard: Xadhoom's physical attributes are relatively weak compared to her matter/energy manipulation powers. She is still a superhuman, but her strengths lie in her more esoteric powers.
* SuperpowerMeltdown: If Xadhoom loses control, she turns into a literal supernova.
* SurvivorGuilt: She has shades of this, especially when she found a recording on one of the Xerbian spaceships.
* ShowyInvincibleHero: Very few situations credibly threaten her. ''But damn'' if it isn't entertaining to watch.
* ThatManIsDead: Back in her first appearance, she made clear to Paperinik to never call her Xado.
* ThouShallNotKill: Averted as hard as it can be. Quite shocking for a Disney character, especially one who is on the good guys side.
* TookALevelInBadass: Suffice to say, Xado took a ''monumental'' one.
* TookALevelInJerkass: As Xado she was a nice and somewhat shy woman. As Xadhoom... she isn't. At all.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Bicarbonate. She doesn't really ''need'' to eat, but her usual diet ([[ILoveNuclearPower thermonuclear processings]]) gives her "[[{{Pun}} stomach burns]]".
* TranquilFury: It's not apparent due the fact she's always killing Evronians in the most painful way she knows while thinking how to make their deaths more humiliating, but a short story showed her allowing a tiny bit of hatred and rage flow free for a single instant, and kill by indigestion an Evronian cyborg capable to harness the energy of the emotions of everyone in the area. That's how we know she's in TranquilFury, that and the fact she ever went in UnstoppableRage for a single instant she'd become a nova and destroy a solar system.
* UnrealisticBlackHole: If she lost control of her powers she'd become a nova and then a black hole: One theorized it could suck Earth in.
* UnskilledButStrong: PlayedWith: she knows wery well how to use her powers ( even developing a kind of energy that is only lethal to Evronians ) but hasn't show to have any kind of fighting skills. Then again, with such raw power, she doesn't really needs it.
* VitriolicBestBuds: She is this with Paperinik. He sometimes tries to have Xadhoom not so obsessed on her revenge, and jokingly nicknames her "beauty eyes" due to her monochromatic green eyes.
* WalkingTheEarth: Xadhoom can go pretty much wherever she wants in the Universe, and spends most of the time just flying around and blowing up Evronians wherever she finds them.
* WasOnceAMan: Xadhoom used to be a Xerbian before an experiment turned her into the embodiment of a sun.
* WhenSheSmiles: Xadhoom is depicted as quite beautiful when she smiles in a genuinely amused way.
* WillfullyWeak: While she's frequently portrayed as invincible, as Zoster demonstrates, she is more than capable of manipulating matter and energy on a near-cosmic scale. However, this is {{Justified}}; [[spoiler:as Zoster also demonstrates, this comes with a dangerous loss of self-control, which they need, in order to remain coherent]].
* WomenAreWiser: Inverted: Xadhoom is prone to anger and will gladly jump in danger without a second thought, so it's ''Paperinik'' who must act as the reasonable one.
* WorldsStrongestWoman: If not of the universe.
* YankTheDogsChain: [[spoiler:While becoming a sun and exploding and reforming each second for years [[AndIMustScream while being awake]] wasn't exactly a happy ending, it was her choice to atone and help her people. However, due to the Entomek depowering her and taking her away, her people had to flee their new planet, and while she was able to go back she is now alone again.]]

->''"No universe exists that's as big as remorse."''
Once she was a scientist from the planet Xerba named Xado. Today, after an experiment she performed on herself, she is the super-powered being Xadhoom, who seeks vengeance on the Evronian Empire for having conquered her planet and enslaved her people. Becomes an ally to Paperinik, despite their first hostile encounter.
'''First appearance:''' ''Paperinik New Adventures'' #0 "Evronians"
-----
* NinetiesAntiHero: While her powers, look and attitude may qualify, her character is developed better than the average NAH.
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Subverted; while she is an EnergyBeing and her physical appearance is malleable, it's not very different from her Xerbian look.
* ActionBomb: If she lost control of herself, she'd become a nova and explode.
* ActionGirl: Unquestionably the biggest one in the series.
* TheAce: She is probably one of the five smartest people of the universe and ''definetely'' the most powerful one.
** BrokenAce: Obtaing her powers means she wasn't with her people when they were wiped out by the Evronians, leaving her all alone, bitter and with one hell of a case of SurvivorGuilt.
* AffectionateNickname: Paperinik usually calls her [[WhatBeautifulEyes "Beautiful Eyes"]] ("Occhi Belli" in Italian). Becomes funnier when she is BroughtDownToNormal and recovers her true look... Including her gorgeous emerald green eyes.
* AGodAmI: She delivered a speech to this effect when [[spoiler:Xari]] told her he and the other [[spoiler:Xerbians]] would find a way to bring her back to normal.
-->'''Xadhoom:''' ''Why?'' Don't you ''like'' me ''like this''? ''I'' am ''truly'' free! Free from all the needs ''torturing'' you! It's ''you'' who should ''become like me''!
* AlienBlood: As shown in a flashback, Xerbians have inky-black blood. How her blood looks like now, or if she even has any, is anyone's guess.
* AloofAlly: Especially at the beginning, she only cared for Paperinik as someone who could help her wipe out more Evronians.
* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler:"Chronicle of a Return" reveals she has been awake and in command after trasforming into a sun, and she had to keep exploding and reforming to give her people heat and energy, a process she freely admits was really painful... and she did it ''for years''.]] [[AngstWhatAngst She doesn't really seem bothered by it, however.]]
-->'''Paperinik:'''" For all those years? How did you endure it?"
-->'''Xadhoom:'''" I knew Xerba was being reborn thanks to me!"
* AngstNuke: Letting her rage free would cause one that would kill everybody in a vast area, including herself.
* AntiHero: She isn't constricted by things like "moral code", "mercy" or trying to be better than the ones she is fighting.
* ArchEnemy: To the '''whole''' Evronian Empire.
* AsLethalAsItNeedsToBe: Invoked: she developed a kind of energy which is lethal only for the Evronians, while only being '' very '' painful for other races like earthlings. Is a good thing too, considering she once attacked Paperinik mistaking him for an Evronian or when she started hallucinating.
* TheAtoner: To an extent: she blames herself for not listening to Xari and others Xerbians's warnings about the Evronians.
* ApocalypseHow: Capable of inflicting any level of this, up to Planetary: Class 5, depending on how much power she's willing to dedicate to the task.
* [[spoiler:BackFromTheDead]]: In the [[spoiler:2016 story arc]].
* BadassNormal: She proved surprisingly capable of holding her own against Raghor, even without using her powers.
* BadassBoast: After she ends up on an Evronian ship:
-->'''Evronian''': "The party has ended for you!"
-->'''Xadhoom''': "This is where you are wrong, Evronian! Look at me... I'm all alone, in the heart of an enemy base, surrounded by thousands of warriors! '''The party for me begins NOW!'''"
* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: Justified, as not needing to breathe is one of her powers.

* BewareTheSuperman: For the Evronians; she is possibly the most powerful being in the Universe and has a personal vendetta against them. Even Paperinik had to face this a couple of times, such as during their first encounter, or the time she was hallucinating.
* BigDamnHeroes: She does it regulary, so much that both she and Paperinik start {{lampshading}} it.

-->'''Xadhoom:''' "Actually, it's usually the other way around!"
* BigNo: When she returns to Xerba after the experiment. Also when she thought [[spoiler:Paperinik had become a Coolflame]].

* BookEnds: [[spoiler:The beginning of Xadhoom involved a dying sun, and her end involved a new-born sun. It ended the way it began...]]
* BreakTheCutie: From what we have seen in flashbacks, she used to be a nice and somewhat shy woman who loved dancing and the stars, and wished nothing more than avert the impending loss of energy of Xerba, with her slight arrogance justified by her being the greatest astrophysicist in Xerba's history (it's mentioned she beat the greatest achievement of her predecessor when she was much younger than him).

[[ItOnlyWorksOnce Not that she'll let it work again after being hit once]], or [[HeroicWillpower will allow the fourth attempt to actually defeat her]]...
* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:Musters one up when she's about to transform herself into a sun for her people.]]
* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: Her past self, that is.
* {{Hallucinations}}: at the beginning of ''Shooting Star'' she is wounded by an Evronian superweapon: this causes her to mistake ordinary people (and Paperinik) for Evronians for most of the issue. Thankfully the kind of energy she uses to kill the Evronians is not lethal for earthlings.
* HeroicBlueScreenOfDeath: Seeing Xari as a Coolflame [[spoiler:actually a justifed case of IdenticalStranger]] causes her a mental breakdown [[spoiler:apparently]] stripping her of her powers.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:She becomes a sun to allow her people to survive. She's inadvertently restored by the En'tomek when they try to absorb her, thinking she's a regular star.]]
* HeroicWillpower: In ''Under a New Sun'' the Emperor of Evron had managed to capture her by holding the Xerbian survivors hostage, and his scientist were trying to torture her into exploding to use her as a perpetual energy source, but she resisted everything they tried with a smile. It even gets [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by the Emperor when he realizes it...
** The extent of her willpower is fully revealed in ''Chronicle of a Return'', when it's revealed that [[spoiler:the key to her turning into a star was her continuously blowing herself up at a very precise yield and pulling herself back together millions of times every second]]. She did that for ''years'' without the slightest strain.
* HotScientist: Before her mutation. Also after it, though then we're also talking another kind of [[IncrediblyLamePun Hot]] entirely...
* HumanAlien: Subverted a bit; Xerbians have green skin, but are otherwise physically indistinguishable from humans. Played Straight after her mutation.
* HumanoidAbomination: Her levels of power are more akin to a [[EldritchAbomination Cosmic Horror]] than the other characters, hero or villain, and a few panels make it evident that she has no internal anatomy. It sort-of says it all that [[spoiler:when [[MadScientist Zoster]] obtained her powers, he eschewed the whole Humanoid bit and went straight into borderline-EldritchAbomination Galactic Conqueror territory.]]
* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: She is not above a bit of forceful interrogation of Evronians to find out what she needs to know.
* JustAMachine: She has this opinion of One, even offering Paperinik to "fix it" when the computer wasn't in the mood to cooperate.
* IGaveMyWord: After interrogating a number of Evronians, she lets them go because she promised they wouldn't come to any harm.
* ImmuneToBullets: Even when she is weakened, as shown in PKNA #17 "Shooting Star".
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Whatever you do, don't let Xadhoom have a fork!
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler:Asks [[SecondLove Xalya]] to take care of Xari before going off to her HeroicSacrifice.]]
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Subverted; her HeroicSacrifice in PKNA #37 and the somber epilogue to her arc in #46 seemed to mean she was gone for good, although the existence of a virtual backup of her mind appeared to be the possibile mean of a future resurrection. Come PKNE many years later, and it's revealed she never really died.]]
* LeeroyJenkins: Her favorite tactic is simply charging in and kill everybody, so it's difficult to convince her of a more subtle approach. It was already discussed in the first issue she appears.
-->'''Xadhoom:''' "Don't you like a good "First I smash everything,then we talk" style entrance?"
-->'''Paperinik:''' "To make them escape?"
* LetsDance: While she was still Xerbian, Xadhoom loved dancing. After her transformation, "Let's dance!" became one of her battle cries.
* LetsYouAndHimFight: A one-sided case the first time she meets Paperinik: he wants to thank her for saving him from the Evronians; she wants to kill him because she thinks he ''is'' an Evronian.
* LiteralMinded: On one occasion she was on Earth masked as a human, and Angus, after taking her sunglasses, cried "Blow me down!". Xadhoom delivered a MegatonPunch.
* LivingBattery: She intended to become this for the Xerbians.
* MadeOfExplodium: Exploding, [[RequiredSecondaryPowers and reforming]], is one of her powers.
* MeaningfulName: Xadhoom is Xerbian for "creditor", and she intends to have the Evronians pay what they owe.
* MercyKill: She considers killing the Coolflames an act of mercy, thinking their "lives" are a FateWorseThanDeath. She even tried to do this to [[spoiler:Paperinik, when he was seemingly coolflamed in "The Springs of The Moon"]]. However, she unconsciously held back and he survived.
* MissingMom: " In the Shadow" shows that her father is still alive and well, but her mother only appears in a brief flashback of Xado's childhood.
* MonochromaticEyes: Her mutated form has these. Her original Xerbian form has [[WhatBeautifulEyes startling green eyes]].
* NeckLift: Does this to Raghor in PKNA #28 before blowing him up.
* TheNeedless: She doesn't need air, food or sleep, considering she is the embodiment of a sun.
* NominalHero: At the beginning, she didn't care about saving or helping others, only killing Evronians due to revenge.
* TheNoseless: As a side effect of her mutation, she lost her nose and ears.
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: When Paperinik declared they would have defended Duckburg together, she replied with this:
--> '''Xadhoom:''' I'm not here to defend anyone! I just want to purge that Evronian scum from the universe.
* NotSoDifferent: [[LampshadeHanging She herself admits it]] with Porphioolon, [[spoiler:an Evronian]]. [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer No, really.]] She feels they both have grown beyond the limits of their people, yet still feel responsable for them. So much, in fact, that she [[spoiler:[[PetTheDog saves his spore when the Evronian PlanetSpaceship fell into the sun]], while letting the others die.]]
* NotThatKindOfDoctor: Like every adult on her planet she has a doctorate. She is not a medic, but an astrophysicist.
* OneWomanArmy: On one occasion she fought ''three Evronian battlefleets'', using everything they had from warriors with personal weapons to the most powerful guns of the Empire and ''the one weapon that had ever left Xadhoom helpless''. Five pages later, the half-dozen survivors are running like they were pursued by an angry goddess ([[PhysicalGod they were, in a way]]) as soon as they're given the order to retreat. And that weapon capable of defeating Xadhoom missed due to her altering her body, and she disintegrated it soon afterwards.
* OutsideContextProblem: For the most part, Paperinik either faces human-level opponents, or low-level superhumans. The change in the status quo that motivates the existence of ''Paperinik New Adventures'' is the sudden invasion of Earth by a highly advanced galactic empire -- and with them, a super-powered alien named Xadhoom hell-bent on their destruction.
* PayEvilUntoEvil: She is as ruthless as the Evronians she is fighting, if not more.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: With the level and variety of her powers, she can obliterate everything from astroships to planets.
* PhysicalGoddess: She is one of the most powerful beings in Paperinik's universe. She is not entirely physical, though: it's frequently implied, and sometimes outright shown, that the wild-haired, green-eyed [[HumanoidAbomination vaguely-human, er, Xerbian-looking body]] is only a temporary and redundant shell, that Xadhoom can easily alter and reconstruct as she sees fit.
* PowerOfTheSun: Or strong solar associations, anyway.
* PreMortemOneLiner: [[spoiler:"Goodbye Evron. With this, we have closed accounts".]]
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Started one against the Evronians when they conquered her planet.
* SheCleansUpNicely: For most of PKNA #28.
* ShipTease: If she wasn't so determined to find her boyfriend Xari, you might think she was a {{Tsundere}} for Paperinik. She also kisses him in PKNA #17.
* SlasherSmile: What her enemies may see before she destroys them.
* SourOutsideSadInside: She is often angry, callous and abrupt. Considering her adult life has been such a tragedy, she is also deeply hurt.
* SquishyWizard: Xadhoom's physical attributes are relatively weak compared to her matter/energy manipulation powers. She is still a superhuman, but her strengths lie in her more esoteric powers.
* SuperpowerMeltdown: If Xadhoom loses control, she turns into a literal supernova.
* SurvivorGuilt: She has shades of this, especially when she found a recording on one of the Xerbian spaceships.
* ShowyInvincibleHero: Very few situations credibly threaten her. ''But damn'' if it isn't entertaining to watch.
* ThatManIsDead: Back in her first appearance, she made clear to Paperinik to never call her Xado.
* ThouShallNotKill: Averted as hard as it can be. Quite shocking for a Disney character, especially one who is on the good guys side.
* TookALevelInBadass: Suffice to say, Xado took a ''monumental'' one.
* TookALevelInJerkass: As Xado she was a nice and somewhat shy woman. As Xadhoom... she isn't. At all.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Bicarbonate. She doesn't really ''need'' to eat, but her usual diet ([[ILoveNuclearPower thermonuclear processings]]) gives her "[[{{Pun}} stomach burns]]".
* TranquilFury: It's not apparent due the fact she's always killing Evronians in the most painful way she knows while thinking how to make their deaths more humiliating, but a short story showed her allowing a tiny bit of hatred and rage flow free for a single instant, and kill by indigestion an Evronian cyborg capable to harness the energy of the emotions of everyone in the area. That's how we know she's in TranquilFury, that and the fact she ever went in UnstoppableRage for a single instant she'd become a nova and destroy a solar system.
* UnrealisticBlackHole: If she lost control of her powers she'd become a nova and then a black hole: One theorized it could suck Earth in.
* UnskilledButStrong: PlayedWith: she knows wery well how to use her powers ( even developing a kind of energy that is only lethal to Evronians ) but hasn't show to have any kind of fighting skills. Then again, with such raw power, she doesn't really needs it.
* VitriolicBestBuds: She is this with Paperinik. He sometimes tries to have Xadhoom not so obsessed on her revenge, and jokingly nicknames her "beauty eyes" due to her monochromatic green eyes.
* WalkingTheEarth: Xadhoom can go pretty much wherever she wants in the Universe, and spends most of the time just flying around and blowing up Evronians wherever she finds them.
* WasOnceAMan: Xadhoom used to be a Xerbian before an experiment turned her into the embodiment of a sun.
* WhenSheSmiles: Xadhoom is depicted as quite beautiful when she smiles in a genuinely amused way.
* WillfullyWeak: While she's frequently portrayed as invincible, as Zoster demonstrates, she is more than capable of manipulating matter and energy on a near-cosmic scale. However, this is {{Justified}}; [[spoiler:as Zoster also demonstrates, this comes with a dangerous loss of self-control, which they need, in order to remain coherent]].
* WomenAreWiser: Inverted: Xadhoom is prone to anger and will gladly jump in danger without a second thought, so it's ''Paperinik'' who must act as the reasonable one.
* WorldsStrongestWoman: If not of the universe.
* YankTheDogsChain: [[spoiler:While becoming a sun and exploding and reforming each second for years [[AndIMustScream while being awake]] wasn't exactly a happy ending, it was her choice to atone and help her people. However, due to the Entomek depowering her and taking her away, her people had to flee their new planet, and while she was able to go back she is now alone again.]]
