-->'''Aquaman''': I believe this is mine.

-->'''Amazo:''' You are aware I'm in the room?

* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: His debut cameo in "New Kids in Town" had him wear a blue and white costume that included gloves and gave him a more noticeably spherical body.

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In the comics (barring some {{Cosmic Retcon}}s that altered the Legion of Super-Heroes' history to downplay or outright discard their ties to Superman), the Legion were inspired to form because of the Man of Steel's exploits as Superboy and appreciated him enough to use time travel to recruit the young Superman-to-be into their team and allow him to participate on several adventures. In this continuity, while still inspired to form by a Superman who never was Superboy, they do not interact with Superman that much besides three of them visiting him as a teenager in "New Kids in Town", with Supergirl being the one who joins them in the future instead (though she also became affiliated with the Legion in the comics after Superman reached adulthood).

* HappilyMarried: To Mera.

* CompositeCharacter: He takes Lightning Lad's place among the three Legionnaires who first encountered Clark during his youth.

* ShootingSuperman: One of the Ultimen [[EpicFail tried this on him]]. Guess how well that turned out.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: In "Far From Home", the Fatal Five manage to use a mind control device to capture legionnaires and use them in their own personal army.
* TheCameo: Saturn Girl, Cosmic Boy, and Chameleon Boy are the only legionnaires focused on in "New Kids In Town". In "Far From Home", it's just Brainiac 5 and Bouncing Boy. And, in ''Vs. The Fatal Five'', it's Star Boy, Saturn Girl, and Brainiac 5. Everyone else is relegated to a brief silent appearance.

* ActionGirl: It doesn't take a telepath to figure that out.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Letting your brother fall to his death is normally a horrible move, but when Aquaman's case is someone who wants to kill him and his son for the sake of taking over Atlantis and be shameless about his deed, then you're instead anticipating Aquaman not caring when he just takes his trident and lets Orm fall to his doom.

* RememberTheNewGuy: The ''Superman'' epsidoe "The Hand of Fate" marked his debut -- and also presented him as having worked with Superman before the events of the episode.

** Like Kalibak, Orion is a hotheaded bruiser, but he's unquestionably a good guy and can be quite competent most of the time. Even when fighting Darkseid (the object of pure hatred for him), Orion keeps his wits about him rather than be a mindless brute like Kalibak. And of course, Kalibak deeply craves their father's approval, whereas Orion openly hates him and cares noting for any ParentalFavoritism shown his way.

* RatedMForManly: [[PapaWolf Most notable when he saved his son]].

* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: In his cameo in "New Kids In Town", he had a mullet, his eyes were completely white, he had a different belt design bearing the Legion insignia and he had an insignia on his chest resembling his ancestor's iconic diodes (which were not present on his forehead).

* CompositeCharacter: Kyle was the only Green Lantern active in the comics when ''Superman: TAS'' was made, so he was used instead of the other human Green Lanterns. But his OriginStory, ArchEnemy, costume, and even physical appearance are all basically Hal Jordan's, though he keeps his comic book counterpart's artist background. By ''Justice League Unlimited'' (where Hal Jordan eventually appeared himself), he looks closer to his comic book counterpart and his costume is completely redesigned.

* BadassBaritone: Characters voiced by Michael Dorn and Phil [=LaMarr=] tend to have deep voices.

* YouDontLookLikeYou: His massive change in appearance and voice between ''STAS'' and ''Justice League'' is given no explanation.

* MythologyGag: In the Threeboot continuity of the ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes'' comics, he and the Earth-Prime version of Lightning Lass, Light Lass, are partners. Here, they're implied to be a couple.
