History Characters / WhateleyUniverseOutsideWhateley

* EvilIsSexy [[invoked]]: she cultivates an image that deliberately mixes TheVamp and vampire.

%%* DarkChick: Part of her image.

* FiveManBand:
** The BigBad -- the Necromancer, dark mage and A-minus level supervillain
** TheDragon -- his pal Lycanthros, who has super-werewolf powers
** The EvilGenius -- while the Necromancer is the planner and brains, Nightgaunt is the smartest fighter
** TheBrute -- the Arch-Fiend, who turns into an eight-foot tall demon
** The DarkChick -- since Lady Darke has the name and the dark-based powers
** The SixthRangerTraitor -- Vamp, who has been blackmailed into joining the team and isn't happy about it

* AntiVillain: Caring father, hard-working inventor, BenevolentBoss, and by his own daughter's count, directly responsible for the lives of over 15,000 people in his raids on middle-sized cities around the world. When he attacks Cincinnati, he secretly encourages the heroes to triumph over his weapons,[[note]]True, it's because it would help him achieve one of his overarching goals - if someone successfully resists the Mind-Web, it gives them a temporary intelligence boost, so by inspiring others to break the effect the heroes are helping raise humanity up in the way Diabolik envisions -- but it's an interesting insight into his character, as it does undercut his short-term objectives of sacking the city.[[/note]] and when highly stressful problems occur, he politely asks his minions for ideas and rewards them for speaking up. Still, he attacks cities, knowing that tons of people will be killed or injured.\\
\\
When his children are the target of protestors and media outlets, he calls each one of them up, at their homes, at their workplaces, on their mobiles... and [[TranquilFury calmly, politely, and non-threateningly]] explained to them that while he sympathized with them, attacking children over such a thing was a decidedly cowardly act. After that, the protestors just... went away.

* HerrDoktor: He invokes this by deliberately playing up his accent in front of the cameras.

* AbusiveParents: Her relationship with Nacht in a nutshell.

* HoistByTheirOwnPetard: [[spoiler: To get what she wants, she turns Nacht into a demigoddess capable of amazing things. However, what she didn't realise was that Nacht wanted nothing to do with her, and was making previous plans. In the end, Marzena ends up with nothing.]]

* AbusiveParent: She had the classic abusive stepfather.

%%* EmperorScientist

%%* HornedHairdo

* {{Cyborg}}: He's all robot except for his brain and his face.

* {{Transgender}}: Stacy's in the same boat as Marty "Megagirl" Penn: her powers are gradually transforming her into her idealized self. But in the meantime she's still physically male and desperately hiding it out of a fear of rejection.

* PowerCrystal: Well, Power Gems. They're the source of his [[{{Teleportation}} shadow-walking]] abilities.
* {{Teleportation}}: Via walking through shadows.

* CharlesAtlasSuperpowers: The Red Brotherhood taught him several genuine mental powers, though he rarely uses them openly.

* ReverseMole: She likes to think she's the FemmeFatale.

* AntiVillain / AffablyEvil: Caring father, hard-working inventor, BenevolentBoss, and by his own daughter's count, directly responsible for the lives of over 15,000 people in his raids on middle-sized cities around the world. When he attacks Cincinnati, he secretly encourages the heroes to triumph over his weapons,[[note]]True, it's because it would help him achieve one of his overarching goals - if someone successfully resists the Mind-Web, it gives them a temporary intelligence boost, so by inspiring others to break the effect the heroes are helping raise humanity up in the way Diabolik envisions - but it's an interesting insight into his character, as it does undercut his short-term objectives of sacking the city.[[/note]] and when highly stressful problems occur, he politely asks his minions for ideas and rewards them for speaking up.

* ArtificialLimbs: A bionic left arm.

* ElectronicEye: Well, Eyes.

* HornedHairdo
* LeanAndMean
* MadScientist
* OlderThanTheyLook: He's 75, but can pull off late forties.

* VoluntaryShapeshifting
* {{Younger Than They Look}}/{{Older Than They Look}}: When he first manifested at age 12, he would often look older than he was. Later on in life, he would look younger, though without regeneration it was only superficial. [[ZigZaggedTrope At the end of "Mimeographic" his body is physically 18, but he shapeshifts to appear as if he were 28, and mentally, he's actually 55.]]

* AffablyEvil

* CharlesAtlasSuperpower / EnlightenmentSuperpowers: The Red Brotherhood taught him several genuine mental powers, though he rarely uses them openly.
* OlderThanTheyLook
* ThePlan: More or less every scheme he's ever pulled.
** KansasCityShuffle: Most of his more public capers were set up primarily to distract the heroes from more mundane crimes done by his Mob associates.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Even without the Brisingamen Effect, Freya was ''very'' good at acting like a nice person to deceive people.
** This also sums up the Alphas under her role- they were still cruel, but Freya at least gave everyone a good time. The Don just crushes them.

* TheChessmaster

* ManipulativeBastard: One of the best.

* XanatosGambit: Everything Freya did served her purpose on at least three levels.
** One example: She sends an Alpha called Wildman, a regenerator, to pick a fight with Kodiak. Wildman ends up provoking Kodiak so much that Kodiak effectively kills him (his body survives but his brain regenerates as blank) and Kodiak ends up friendless for the rest of the year. This achieves three things: 1, Kodiak, friendless, feared and lonely, is easy for Freya to recruit; 2, Wildman is out of the Alphas, and 3, a deviser Freya favoured gets a reprieve from Wildman's bullying.

* BadBoss
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: To the Syndicate.

* RescueArc / RoaringRampageOfRescue: As part of their BackStory. After they married, Tabby Cat was initially satisfied to be an 'ordinary' housewife, while Falcon went out as a hero - until the day he didn't come back home. Tabby had her parents take Lily in for a while before diving deep into the criminal underworld looking for clues. She managed to locate the people holding him, who turned out to be a [[HumanTraffickers child sex-slave ring]] he had been investigating. [[MamaBear Deeply moved by the plight of the children]], she decides to rescued the 'merchandise' as well, breaking up the ring. After this, she insisted that she join Falcon and the rest of STAR League.

* SecretPublicIdentity

* NonPoweredCostumedHero

* Myth/AztecMythology: She's the paladin of Quetzalcoatl.

SPECTRUM is the name of Cincinnati’s most recent superhero group whose members mostly act on their own rather than as a team. They were given their name by the media because of the RainbowMotif/ColorfulThemeNaming of the founding members. They collectively act as the guardians of Stacy Conrad.

A Zorro-esque swordsman

Big Dawg's xurrent apprentice, a former street kid with the brains recognize a legit opportunity and grab it with both hands

A seemingly Iron Man like hero, though his "suit" is actually a humanoid robot drone

A package deal psychic with the powers of strength, telekinesis and flight. He also has a glamour aura he can't entirely turn off

A Warper and a Telepath with a stylistic (but not physical) resemblance to Fred Astaire. Wears a costume that resembles a tuxedo

* PettingZooPeople: like her mentor, Lioness, she is a furred felinoid.

* MyGreatestFailure: There recently have been hints that Joe's supposed disdain for mind control is due to having used it before, and the attempt having severe negative sideeffects. [[spoiler:He's thought by most people to have used it on his wife, Lorna, with the side effects being her dramatic personality shifts.]]

* AntiVillain / AffablyEvil: Caring father, hard-working inventor, BenevolentBoss, and by his own daughter's count, directly responsible for the lives of over 15,000 people in his raids on middle-sized cities around the world. When he attacks Cincinnati, he secretly encourages the heroes to triumph over his weapons, and when highly stressful problems occur, he politely asks his minions for ideas and rewards them for speaking up. Still, he attacks cities, knowing that tons of people will be killed or injured.

Another super team of Whateley classmates and near-classmates, this time from TheNineties.

A Exemplar and Energizer, and recent Whateley graduate. The youngest member of the team at 19, so it doesn't raise many eybrows when she becomes the girlfriend of 17 year old Kayda "Pejuta" Franks. Her alias was inspired by the intense blue color of her eyes.
