*** [[spoiler:The time skip shakes things up: The only couple still together is Artemis and Kid Flash. Superboy and Miss Martian had an OffScreenBreakUp, and Miss M is now seeing Lagoon Boy. It is confirmed that both Zatanna and Rocket are Nightwing's AmicableExes, with him implied to still be FriendsWithBenefits with Zatanna, and possibly Batgirl as well. Rocket and Aqualad also dated for a bit (according to Greg Weisman), and now Rocket is getting married to someone else]].

This is no longer the case when Batgirl and Wonder Girl show up.
* JustAKid: The Light consistently refers to them as "children" and their UnderestimatingBadassery of the team is what causes their defeat.

* RagtagBunchOfMisfits --> BadassCrew: The original team consisted of [[BadassCrew three highly-trained ex-sidekicks]], a months-old clone of Superman rescued from an evil lab, and a young Martian girl with a slightly mysterious past. Latecomers included an anti-social archer with an even more mysterious past, the daughter of an Italian-American magician who trained in the mystical arts like her father, a solo archer hero and ex-sidekick who joins briefly, and an African-American teenage gadget-powered superheroine. The first season is the story of how this gang becomes skilled enough to [[spoiler: [[FinalBoss take on the entire Justice League]]... and win.]]

** TheLeader: Aqualad. He's the official leader of the team and the others defer to him..
** TheLancer: Robin. Unlike Aqualad, he's the youngest, louder, has a completely different fighting style etc. He also wanted to be the leader before realizing that Aqualad would do a better job.
** TheBigGuy: Superboy. On the team, he relies the most on his brute strength.
** TheSmartGuy: Kid Flash. Besides being a TeenGenius when it comes to science, he's also very quick-thinking and analytic in combat.
** TheChick: Miss Martian. The only female on the team at first, and the one who tries to be the TeamMom.

[[folder:B01: Nightwing (Robin I)]]
!{{Nightwing}} / {{Robin}} (Dick Grayson)
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/grayson_1-2_1158.png]]
->''"Why isn't anyone ever just whelmed?"''
->Abilities: acrobatics, gadgetry, hacking
-->Voiced by Music/JesseMcCartney

As Robin, Dick Grayson was the junior partner to Batman. Known colloquially as The Boy Wonder, he took the Caped Crusader's training very seriously. He is not only a skilled acrobat in his own right (a trait he came by before becoming Robin), but he is a skilled hacker, strategist, and escape artist. At 13 years of age, he was amazingly the most senior of the teen heroes of this 'verse. He is quick with the wisecracks, but serious underneath.

During the five-year gap between seasons he changes his superhero identity to Nightwing and becomes leader of the Team.
[[hardline]]

* TheAce: The first season was his development and the second season as Nightwing shows it. Nightwing is just that damn good.
** BrokenAce: [[spoiler:Starting to show shades of this after "Darkest", where he had to sacrifice Mt. Justice to help Aqualad maintain his cover, and then emphasized by Kid Flash voicing serious concerns about the whole ReverseMole plan.]]
* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Okay, he's technically a teenager, but the fangirls seem to think he's this.
* {{Adorkable}}: In-universe, Zatanna certainly thought so, much as the fangirls do out-of-universe.
* AmicableExes: With Zatanna, Rocket and apparently ''all'' his ex-girlfriends. Occasionally implied to still be FriendsWithBenefits with Zatanna as well.
-->'''Zatanna:''' How is it again you're still friends with all your exes?
-->'''Nightwing''': That's ''my'' superpower.
* AnimalMotifs: Birds. The Robins carry "Birdarangs" instead of Batarangs and Nightwing has a bird emblem.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Again, birds.
* AntiHero: In season one, he has everything he needs to be one, but he doesn't like being that kind of person.
* {{Badass}}: He had a background in circus performance (specifically acrobatics), which he puts to good use as Batman's protege. Despite having no superpowers, he's very quick-thinking and handy in a fight.
** BadassAdorable: Especially in the first season, where he's distinctly shorter, younger, and more childish than anyone else on the team.
** BadassBookworm: Besides being a world-class hacker and competent detective, he's a Mathletes champion in his civilian identity and has a notable fondness for playing around with the English language.
** BadassInCharge: As of season 2, Nightwing is the leader of the team. [[spoiler:He cedes control pretty seamlessly back to Kaldur after the latter's return.]]
** BadassNormal: Out of all the young heroes in the first season, Robin has been on the job the longest with four years of hero experience. He is 13, making him the youngest of the group (discounting Conner/Superboy, who is only sixteen weeks old). Robin also holds up fine despite him and Artemis being the only ones without superpowers in Season 1, as proven in "Homefront".
* BigBrotherInstinct: Towards the entire team, but Tim Drake especially, looking at his actions in "Complications".
* BigBrotherMentor: Acts as one for Artemis in 'Homefront'. Ironically, he's both younger and physically smaller than her. In season 2, he has become one for the new Robin, Tim Drake.
* BigGood: As of Season 2, Dick has become the leader of the team, with the team itself expanding greatly in size.
* BirdsOfAFeather: With Zatanna.
* ABirthdayNotABreak: The tie-in comic juxtaposes his fourteenth birthday (which goes fine -- he has a huge party at his house where Barbara ends up making out with him) with his nineteenth birthday (which escalates from a couple of routine missions and an attempt to recruit Jaime to several high-profile heroes getting kidnapped and sent to the moon, an alien attempting to ''steal Metropolis'', and what's possibly the beginnings of an alien invasion).
* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler:Suffers TheChainsOfCommanding after Aqualad's (temporary) sacrifice in "Failsafe". Turns out he really doesn't have it in him to pull off a GoodIsNotNice mindset... at least, not at 13 years of age. In season two, his big plan to uncover the Light demands a more pragmatic mindset, though he doesn't seem to enjoy it much.]]
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: Wears an "R" on his chest as Robin.
* BuffySpeak: He seems to do it intentionally.
* CatchPhrase: "Stay whelmed."
* TheChainsOfCommanding: [[spoiler:Explained in "Disordered" as to what he felt in "Failsafe", and then followed up on in "Image", where he is clearly reluctant to be leader.]]
** [[spoiler:Followed up in season two when he is leading the team, and clearly feeling the weight of the decisions he's being forced to make. Once Kaldur's ReverseMole thing ends, he tries to hand back leadership the second he's back in the Aqualad uniform.]]
* CharacterDevelopment: Dick/Robin/Nightwing changed from a playful trickster who was afraid of becoming like Batman to someone almost just like him.
* TheCharmer: Not only is he popular with ladies, he claims that remaining friends with his exes is his superpower.
* TheChessmaster: In season 2 he serves as the commander of the entire Team [[spoiler:and takes the lead on the ReverseMole gambit against the Light, convincing Artemis to fake her own death and join Aqualad within Black Manta's organization.]]
* ChickMagnet: Issue 20 of the tie-in comic implies he's hooked up with Zatanna, Bette Kane, Rocket and Batgirl at least.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: A complicated one with Batgirl. By his nineteenth birthday, Dick is open about wanting to be with her, but she says he's "a dog" and not ready for her yet, considering that over the course of the day he'd already had Bette Kane in his apartment, a long kiss with Zatanna, and a cheek kiss from Rocket. So they're both interested in each other and not opposed to public displays of affection, but they're not in an exclusive or serious relationship yet.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Batgirl.
* CircusBrat: He grew up in a circus. It's where the acrobatic leaps and flips from his fighting style come from. Explored in "Performance".
* ClarkKenting: He has three different 'looks:' With mask/sunglasses and loose hair (Robin/around Mt. Justice), with gelled hair and no mask/sunglasses (Dick Grayson/at school or around Bruce's associates), and no gel or mask/sunglasses, which is how he appears when he's at home with Bruce and Alfred.
* CommitmentIssues: Batgirl/Barbara Gordon says he's not ready to be with her because he's a "dog".
* CoolShades: An important part of disguise.
* DarkIsNotEvil: His "Nightwing" costume is mostly black and he's the BigGood for the team.
* DeadpanSnarker: Robin may trump Kid Flash in this.
* {{Determinator}}: Most people wouldn't attempt a complex acrobatic routine without a safety net. Or with the flu. Much less in the same night.
-->'''Robin:''' But the show must go on.
* DissonantLaughter: Seems to be his trademark throughout Season 1. He weaponizes it in "Bereft."
* DualWielding: Sometimes uses arnis/eskrima sticks (served as {{Foreshadowing}} in Season 1, since Dick is better known for using these as Nightwing than as Robin).
* ExpressiveMask: A more subtle version of the trope.
* FriendshipMoment: Kid Flash [[spoiler: didn't hesitate at all to dive and save Robin when he saw he was being pulled back into the mothership's core in "Failsafe". See ItHasBeenAnHonor below]].
** Had one with Artemis in "Homefront".
* FriendsWithBenefits: [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar Occasionally implied]] to be his relationship with Zatanna post-TimeSkip.
** As of Issue #25 of the tie-in comic, is ''also'' this with [[spoiler:Batgirl/Barbara Gordon]].
* TheGadfly: Loves messing with people in season 1, though by season 2 he's become considerably more mature.
--> '''Robin''' ''(popping out of nowhere)''''':''' Artemis?
--> '''Artemis''' ''(gasps, startled)''''':''' Robin! I, uh-
--> '''Robin:''' How ''random'' that you're in Gotham City! Instead of Star City, where ''your uncle Green Arrow'' lives?
--> '''Artemis''' ''(nervously)''''':''' I'm, um, here... to see my cousin! She... was in the state spelling bee. Here, in Gotham. City.
-->'''Robin:''' C-O-O-L. Did she W-I-N?
-->'''Artemis''' ''(eyes narrow)''''':''' N-''O''.
-->'''Robin''' ''(grinning)''''':''' D-R-A-''G''
* GuileHero: Nightwing knows that the Light are led by at least one ManipulativeBastard [[spoiler: so he and Kaldur are using Aqualad's FreudianExcuse as an opening to get an eye inside the villain's organization.]]
* GrapplingHookPistol: One of the many contents of his utility belt.
* GreenEyedMonster: A mild case in "Downtime" where Robin was jealous that Batman gave a private lecture to Aqualad.
* HappilyAdopted: He lost his biological family, the rest of the famous Flying Graysons, at the age of nine. He was then taken in by Batman and trained in the crimefighting arts.
* HeroesWantRedheads: His current [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend love interest]] Batgirl.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Kid Flash.
* HiddenDepths: In most of Season 1, he acts like a normal 13 year old boy who doesn't think twice about [[PlayfulHacker hacking into restricted networks]] or using his own laugh as a countdown on explosive batarangs. Then [[BreakTheCutie "Failsafe" and "Disordered" occur]], in which he shows remarkable eloquence and self-awareness.
* HollywoodHacking: He's easily capable of hacking into any system he wants to -- including that of the Justice League -- in a matter of seconds.
* TheHyena: He admits it himself. As Greg Weisman explains it, he imagines that Batman taught Robin the StealthHiBye, and then Robin was just so tickled by the idea of screwing with people like that that he couldn't stop laughing.
* {{Hypocrite}}: A little bit when it comes to the issue of manipulating the team: he and the rest of the team got mad at Aqualad for hiding the fact that there was a mole, saying that he lied to them and manipulated them, but when Robin takes charge of the team in Failsafe he [[spoiler: tricks Kid Flash into going on a suicide mission and manipulates the rest of the team to allow it.]] In season two he goes even farther [[spoiler:with a months long BatmanGambit which involved Aqualad becoming a ReverseMole and faking Artemis's death. The whole plan almost backfired because Nightwing kept it from the rest of the team.]]
* InsufferableGenius: At times in the first season. Post TimeSkip, he's both much more serious in his role as TheSmartGuy and more conscious of his limitations.
* IShallTauntYou: He's very fond of dropping wisecracks on his opponents during combat.
* ItHasBeenAnHonor: [[spoiler: The brief nod between him and Kid Flash in "Failsafe" really says it all.]]
* ItsPersonal: The mission in "Performance", as it concerned the man who had run the circus he worked in when he was young.
* LadyKillerInLove: See ChildhoodFriendRomance
* TheLancer: He has a lot of leadership qualities but is not quite there yet. Probably has something to do with him being only 13. He takes this role by default since the rest of the team are grooming him to be the leader. It's partly a lack of maturity that prevents him from being the leader, but also his inexperience with being on this type of team. Batman and Robin's methodology was based around an efficient two man team with relatively standardized training, which doesn't translate well to an ad-hoc RagtagBunchOfMisfits, so it's his lack of cohesion with a very different type of team that is the problem.
** Post-time-skip and upgrade to Nightwing, he's in charge of the team.
* TheLeader: Type Mastermind as a counterpart to Aqualad's type Leveheaded. Based on what's been shown of Nightwing, he overlaps all types at once. Compare Comicbook/CaptainAmerica or his [[{{Nightwing}} comic book]] incarnation.
* LeeroyJenkins: An inversion, since he always has a plan. The problem is that ThePlan (seems) too obvious for Dick to explain it to anybody and the team isn't trained enough to follow it anyway. It's noted that this works with Batman, since they know each other well, but not with other heroes.
* LikesOlderWomen: [[spoiler: Two of his three known hookups, Rocket and Bette Kane, are at least a year older than him. WordOfGod is that Zatanna is only a few months older (Dick had his 14th birthday between "Agendas" and "Insecurity"), and that current love interest Batgirl is around a year younger.]]
* TheMagnificent: So far, he's the only hero to get his traditional epithet ("Robin, the Boy Wonder") used in-series: Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy, SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker, Wally, Zatanna, and Artemis have all used it somehow, whether seriously or mockingly.
* McNinja: The team lampshades it frequently.
--> '''Kid Flash:''' I forgot how much I hate it when he does the ninja thing.
* MeaningfulName: "Dick" is old slang for "detective." Meanwhile, his last name is ''Gray''son, and 'gray' is an apt description of his moral alignment in season 2.
* MeaningfulRename: Changes his identity from Robin to Nightwing in the five year TimeSkip.
* MissionControl: Notably in season 2, the plot has kept Nightwing out of physical fighting more times than not, even when he is nearby, unless the threat attacks him directly. Not that it makes him any less Badass, he is still a very competent leader and organizes the team quite well for whatever mission they are dealing with at the time.
* MrFanservice: Apparently Dick is this no matter what the media. The timeskip was a relief to a lot of fangirls, because at least their perving on Dick Grayson is now legal.
* MyParentsAreDead: They died in a circus "accident" when he was nine.
* NervesOfSteel: On display in "Homefront" and "Failsafe".
* NiceGuy: Less so than his comics counterpart but he still has some of this.
* TheNicknamer: Usually involving initials: Kid Flash is K.F., Miss Martian is Miss M., etc.
* OffScreenTeleportation: Part of the McNinja gig.
* {{Omniglot}}: Kind of. He's not a direct offender ala Superboy, but he's [[WordOfGod confirmed]] to at ''least'' get by in French, Spanish, Italian, German, Japanese and Mandarin.
* OpaqueLenses: Compare Robin's sunglasses to the ones Roy wore in "Targets." Rob's are completely black, while you can actually discern Roy's eye color through his.
* PlayfulHacker: He's well-versed in hacking and often does it for fun. To drive home the playfulness, his hacking is depicted by a red doodle of himself turning green once he's cracked something.
* ProperlyParanoid: He ''always'' makes sure a story checks out, to the best of his ability. [[spoiler:He didn't even take Blue Beetle at his word when the entire team went missing, and as such discovered that Blue was actually responsible.]]
* RageAgainstTheMentor: Averted. Him becoming Nightwing is not because he's angry with Bruce like in most other incarnations of the character, but because he's grown up.
* ReallyGetsAround: In the words of Wally West, [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar "You dog!"]]
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: With the newer members of the team.
* RousingSpeech: As seen in "Failsafe", he's pretty good at making one, very much like his [[{{Nightwing}} comics counterpart]].
* RunningGag: He has a thing for backformations.
* SecretSecretKeeper:
** [[spoiler:Unbeknownst to Artemis, Robin already knows who her father is and despite so, he fully trusts her. This does not, however, keep him from trolling the hell out of her when she starts attending his school.]]
** Given his penchant for hacking, he likely has more intel than anyone else on the team and possibly more than most members of The League. However, he looked surprised in the pilot episode when he learned about the Watchtower.
* ShorterMeansSmarter: He's the shortest of the lot, yet he just barely edges Wally (whose scientific knowledge may border on SuperIntelligence and who's shown to be quite the lateral thinker) out in overall intelligence, according to his stats/database page. As Nightwing, the "short" part no longer applies.
* SimpleStaff: Occasionally pulls out escrima sticks.
* TheSmartGuy: He's more tech geek, while Wally's pure science.
* TheSpock: [[spoiler: In the episode "Failsafe", he intentionally sends Superboy on a mission he likely won't survive to buy the team time to destroy an invading mothership. Later on, both he and Kid Flash intentionally stay behind to buy Miss Martian time and wind up "dying" themselves. Subverted as of "Disordered" when it's revealed he wasn't happy about his choice.]]
* SpyCatsuit: As Nightwing, his outfit seems to be a simple padded jumpsuit, more practical than elaborate. Even the emblem is just a chest insignia, when most other versions have it encompass his shoulders and upper back, usually etched against some molded body armor in his costume.
* StealthHiBye: He learned from the best.
* TheStrategist: Probably the best strategist on the team. The [[AnAesop Aesop]] of "Dropzone" was that the best strategist doesn't always make the best leader.
* TakingUpTheMantle: Apparently his dream--[[SubvertedTrope before the events of "Failsafe"]], which made him realize that can't be the kind of stoic, unemotional leader that Batman is.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: Season 2. [[HeIsAllGrownUp Hell]] [[MrFanservice yes.]]
* TeamDad: By season two, he's taken up this role where Batman left off towards the third generation heroes.
* TenMinuteRetirement: [[spoiler:In the final episode, he decides to quit the team for some time after Wally's death.]]
* TryNotToDie: After appointing Tim leader of Gamma squad, he tells him "Just don't die, okay? And no unnecessary risks to the squad."
* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld: Apparently attends Gotham Academy in his spare time.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Downplayed. While he wants Batman's acknowledgement, he doesn't want to be the next Batman since, while "Failsafe" proves that he's perfectly ''capable'' of being the kind of ruthless tactician Batman is, he hated every minute of it. Ironically this is what earns him Batman's respect more than anything else. He doesn't want Dick to end up like that either.
* WouldHitAGirl: Has no problem fighting female villains, such as when he punches Shimmer so hard that she slams back into a cliff side in "Usual Suspects". His fight with Tigress could count [[spoiler:though, since she's Artemis, they were probably fighting each other to keep up a show]].
* YouShallNotPass: [[spoiler:How he and Kid Flash go out in "Failsafe".]]

!Aqualad / [[spoiler:Black Manta II]] (Kaldur'ahm)
[[quoteright:175:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aqualad_1_888.png]]
[[caption-width-right:180:Click [[labelnote:here]]http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aqualad_s2_1541.png[[/labelnote]] to see Aqualad as he appears in Season 2 *spoilers*]]

->''"We stand ready."''
->Abilities: super strength, underwater breathing, water weapons, electric production
-->Voiced by Creator/KharyPayton

Aqualad is an Atlantean who, through his own skills with water manipulation and focus, earned the right to take on the role of junior partner of Justice League member Aquaman. Although somewhat hesitant in regards to listening to Speedy's rant about them needing to branch out, he soon begins to discover that it may actually be for the better. Somewhat stoic, he soon becomes the team's voice of reason when it comes to dealing with obstacles, whether they be friend or foe.

During the five-year gap between seasons [[spoiler:Kaldur joins his father, Black Manta, following the death of Tula during a mission after joining the Team as Aquagirl. Tula's death, along the revelation that Aquaman had kept the identity of his biological father from him, apparently drives Aqualad to betray the Team and become Black Manta II. This, however, is actually an elaborate ruse concocted by himself, Nightwing, Kid Flash and Artemis to get someone undercover in the Light's organization.]]
[[hardline]]

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: In ''Satisfaction'' everyone wants to bring him down because of [[spoiler: Artemis's "death", including her sister Cheshire, her father Sportsmaster, and the other heroes.]]
* TheApprentice: In "Downtime" it was shown that Aquaman was impressed with Kaldur and his friend Garth's bravery and offered them both the role of his apprentice. Garth refused, while Kaldur accepted and became Aqualad.
** APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil: [[spoiler: Subverted, that's what everyone is supposed to believe.]]
* AcquiredPoisonImmunity: As a result of living under water all his life, he's developed a resistance to jellyfish venom.
* AnimalMotifs: He has eel tattos on his arms, can generate [[PsychoElectricEel electricity]], and can conjure a giant eel made of water with his powers.
* AntiHero: In season 1 he's willing to hide from his friends there's a possible [[TheMole Mole]] on the team to keep them from turning on each other. [[spoiler:In season 2 he's willing to put both his mentor and his friends in danger, and actively attack them, to protect his [[FakeDefector cover]].]]
* ApparentlyHumanMerfolk[=/=]OurMermaidsAreDifferent: Looks similar to a human being but hides his Atlantean traits when he is in public.
* ArchnemesisDad: [[spoiler:Black Manta in season 1, though Kaldur doesn't know it at the time. Double subverted in season 2.]]
* {{Badass}}: Aqualad was trained by Aquaman himself in the art of fighting. As such, he's a very competent warrior.
** BadassArmFold: Best shown in the episode [[http://www.ksitetv.com/wp-content/gallery/secrets/345_678b084.jpg "Secrets."]]
** BadassInCharge: He's the official leader of the team.
** BreakTheBadass: Temporarily in "Failsafe".
** HeartbrokenBadass: After Tula chooses Garth over him. After her death in-between seasons, it's stated to be the catalyst for [[spoiler: his (fake) FaceHeelTurn.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Aqualad is often very caring and reasonable, but is terrifying when pushed the wrong way.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Primarily to Robin. When Black Canary points out that he's just as much as logical choice for leader, Kaldur gets a haunted look and says "But he is so young."
* BigBrotherMentor: To Robin and arguably, Superboy. Lampshaded by Miss Martian in "Infiltrator".
* TheBlank: During his BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind in "The Fix", but he gets his face back in the next scene thanks to [[spoiler: Artemis telling him YouAreNotAlone]].
* BrokenPedestal: Lagoon Boy used to idolize him.
* BruiserWithASoftCenter: In season one, he's the second strongest member after Superboy... but he's whole a lot nicer than Superboy is.
* CallingTheOldManOut[=/=]RageAgainstTheMentor: [[spoiler:Calls out Aquaman for hiding the identity of his true father. In "Alienated" it was probably part of the ruse, but in "Legacy," he was genuinely hurt and angered.]]
--->'''Aquaman''': Perhaps you should discuss this with your parents.
--->'''Aqualad''': I am discussing it with ''you.''
* CanonForeigner[=/=]CanonImmigrant: He was made for the show, but DC liked him so much he was [[EarlyBirdCameo adapted to the comics before the show even aired,]] though there's very little similarity between the two of them, beyond their costume, power set, identity of biological father, and ethnicity.
** {{Zigzagged}}. He was adapted into the Brightest Day and Teen Titans books, but he's since been wiped out of existence by the New 52 reboot-- even two years later, he has yet to be seen, despite the writer of Teen Titans expressing an interest in him. He was, however, ported to the universe of ''The Flashpoint Paradox.''
* TheCaptain: Batman has been known to refer to "You and your team" when talking to Aqualad; in addition, he reports directly to Batman after the team completes missions. [[spoiler: He becomes [[TheDragon a villainous example]] after his FaceHeelTurn. But see FakeDefector.]]
* TheChainsOfCommanding: Mentioned in "Drop Zone" and "Downtime" and fully explained in "Disordered".
** IShouldHaveBeenBetter: He wishes he'd acted more like a leader than a soldier during "Failsafe".
* CharacterDevelopment: He first starts out as the SubmissiveBadass in the first few episodes and later emerges as TheLeader of the RagtagBunchOfMisfits. [[spoiler:He then goes on to become a ReverseMole in his villainous father's organization.]]
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: He had a longtime crush on his friend Tula. Unfortunately for him, she began a relationship with his best friend Garth during the time he was away.

* ConflictingLoyalty: In "Downtime" between Atlantis and the surface world.
* DarkIsNotEvil: His [[spoiler: "evil" outfit in season 2 certainly makes him ''look'' more evil.]]
* DarkSkinnedBlond: And issue 14 of the tie in comics show that [[http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1ck67dMhA1qm0gd4o1_500.png he gets it from his mom]] (who amusingly enough [[CelebrityResemblance kind of looks like]] Music/{{Beyonce}}).
* DeadpanSnarker: See NotSoStoic.
* DefusingTheTykebomb: Early in season one he calms Superboy down and helps adjust to the world until Superboy gets with Miss Martian. In addition, its been stated by WordOfGod that Superboy is closest to Aqualad out of all of males in season 1.
* TheDragon: [[spoiler: To Black Manta in Season 2. He turns out to be a DragonWithAnAgenda: He's still a good guy, and just using his father to get closer to the Light and their new partner.]]
* DoesNotLikeShoes: He's always walking around barefoot due to having webbed feet.
* DoggedNiceGuy: Towards Tula in "Downtime" [[spoiler:until he got over it at the end of the episode.]]
* DualWielding: He often solidifies water into two weapons he uses to attack.
* ElementalBaggage: Aqualad cannot create the water he telekinetically manipulates, it either comes from the pack on his back or a standing supply near by.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: [[spoiler: After joining his father and becoming Black Manta II, complete with a [[GoodHairEvilHair creepier haircut]].]]
* EvilFormerFriend: [[spoiler: Subverted. It's all part of the plan.]]
* {{Expy}}: According to [[WordOfGod creator Greg Weisman]], Kaldur's design was inspired by ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings''' elves.
* EyeBeams: [[spoiler: As Black Manta II.]]
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: In Season 2, but it turns out he's a FakeDefector.]]
** HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: So far: Aqualad's good, but then he's bad, then he's still good, then he might just be pretending to be good, then he actually is good. [[spoiler: He was, however, GoodAllAlong.]]
* FallenHero: [[spoiler: In Season 2, but later subverted.]]
* FantasticRacism: Aqualad and other Atlanteans with non-human traits face discrimination from the Purifiers.
* FightsLikeANormal: Training with the team during season one.
* FreudianExcuse: His first love Tula was killed as a direct result of becoming involved with the Team, and he's been trying to hurt his own father for years because of the lies of a man whom he called both his king and his friend. [[spoiler: This turns out to be a subversion; he's a FakeDefector.]]
* GuileHero: This and his levelheadedness is why he was chosen to be leader in the first season. [[spoiler: He was also the one who started the plan to infiltrate the villains by pretending to be evil to get close to his father. Together only he, Wally, Artemis, Dick know of this ruse.]]
* ImaginationBasedSuperpower/ MultiMeleeMaster: His waterbearers have a ''lot'' of different uses, thus becoming an ImpossiblyCoolWeapon.
** BatterUp
** CarryABigStick: He can make maces and clubs.
** CoolSword: Or [[DualWielding cool swords,]] as the case may be.
** DeflectorShields
** DropTheHammer
** EpicFlail/ VariableLengthChain
* ImportantHaircut[=/=]GoodHairEvilHair: [[spoiler:He has a normal hair cut in season 1, but he gets a shorter hair style in season 2.]]
* HalfHumanHybrid: His father is the human [[spoiler:Black Manta]], while his mother is an Atlantean.
* HeroesWantRedheads: He had fallen in love with Tula, but unfortunately for him, she and Garth were already together (all three had been close friends).
* HeroicBastard: The result of a human/Atlantean union.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: He doesn't believe in his leadership abilities until "Alpha Male". Made worse in "Failsafe", where he believes himself to be unfit to lead the team.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Sacrifices himself in "Failsafe" to save Martian Manhunter, who eventually turns out to be the key to freeing everyone from the UnwinnableTrainingSimulation they're trapped in.]]
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: [[spoiler:Had to make several compromising choices undercover as Black Manta's henchman.]]
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Wishes Tula and Garth the best together, as he wants Tula to be happy.
* ImpossiblyCoolWeapon: He wields a pair of waterbearers that he can use to augment his powers and and create a variety of water weapons.
* InASingleBound: He does this a few times in the episodes like "Humanity". Although he doesn't jump as high and does not do it as much as Superboy has.
* InTheBlood: [[spoiler:Goes evil after finding out his father is Black Manta. Later subverted when it's revealed he's actually a ReverseMole.]]
* JackOfAllStats: Definitely the most well-rounded member of the original Team. He's not as fast as [[FragileSpeedster Kid Flash]], as strong as [[LightningBruiser Superboy]] or as super-powered as [[SquishyWizard Miss Martian]], and he doesn't pack as many cool gadgets as [[BadassNormal Robin]] or [[ArcherArchetype Artemis]], but he's definitely more versatile than any of them. He's adept at strategy and hand-to-hand combat, he's got magic training, and his waterbearers can shape-shift into any weapon he needs. [[spoiler: He's even more bruising after the TimeSkip, now that he's got magic, super strength and a weaponized power suit with missiles and freaking eyebeams.]]
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:Kills Artemis in "Depths". Soon subverted when it turns out they were just [[FakingTheDead faking her death]].]]
* KidHero: He is 16 years old in the first season.
* KubrickStare: He delivers a ''damn'' creepy look when he rises out of the water in "Depths".
* TheLeader: Type Levelheaded. The position is made official in "Drop Zone" and reaffirmed at the end of "Alpha Male".
** [[PlayingWithATrope Played With]] in "Disordered"; after his actions in "Failsafe", he doesn't believe himself to be an effective leader, yet he continues to be one since he doesn't want to burden Robin with the role.
** No longer true as of Season 2. [[spoiler: However, his leadership qualities are what makes him a dangerous villain, and it's notable that he makes sure [[NoOneGetsLeftBehind all of his mooks have time to escape]].]]
** StillTheLeader: [[spoiler: After rejoining the team after completing his mission, Nightwing immediately defers leadership back to Kaldur.]]
* LegacyCharacter: [[spoiler:As Black Manta II]]
** RedeemingReplacement:[[spoiler: He is in fact a deep cover agent.]]
* LickedByTheDog: In "Darkest", Sphere rolls right up to him and doesn't even sound the alarm after he gives her a pet, like in old times. [[spoiler:This makes him feel even more guilty about blowing up Mount Justice in order to secure his cover.]]
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Aquaman, his parents, and Black Manta [[spoiler:all know that Black Manta is his biological father, something Kaldur himself is not aware of until ''Legacy'']].
* LoveTriangle: In one between him, his crush Tula and his good friend Garth.
** LoveHurts
** LoveMakesYouEvil: [[spoiler:Subverted, as he's a FakeDefector.]]
* LukeIAmYourFather: He's the son of [[spoiler:Aquaman's nemesis, Black Manta]].
* MasterActor: [[spoiler:Gives a stunning RageAgainstTheMentor speech to Aquaman, regularly drops [[DoubleMeaning messages to the others involved in his deception disguised as badass threats]] and convinces everyone he actually killed Artemis with a little sleight of hand.]]
** He is so convincing that [[spoiler:even Wally, who is in on the plan, is concerned that Aqualad might really be an evil ''triple'' agent playing Nightwing.]]
* MagicKnight: His powers come from Atlantean magic, but his fighting style is considerably more hands-on than other Atlantean magicians.
* MeaningfulName: His name is an Atlantean spin on his [[spoiler: adoptive]] father's name, Calvin Durham.
** In Icelandic his name means "cool".
* MeaningfulRename: [[spoiler:Becomes Black Manta II after his [[FakeDefector fake]] FaceHeelTurn, as he's the son of Black Manta.]]
* MindRape: [[spoiler:M'gann rips the memories out of his mind and leaves him catatonic in "Before The Dawn".]]
* MoleInCharge: [[spoiler:Not in charge, but he is TheDragon to Black Manta.]]
* MrExposition: Whenever a new face pops up that the audience doesn't know, he's usually the one to give the exposition on who they are.
** [[spoiler:He actually explains all the reasons for his apparent FaceHeelTurn before the end of his first appearance as a villain in "Alienated".]]
* MultiMeleeMaster: His waterbearers can turn into swords, maces, hammers, bats and whips.
* NervesOfSteel: Comes along with the stoic part.
** In "Complications," [[spoiler: while pretending to be an EmptyShell, Chesire hurls a sai at him (which is blocked at the last second by Miss Martian) and Aqualad doesn't so much as blink.]]
* NiceGuy: The nicest member on the team after Miss Martian.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Took Deathstroke out of the picture offscreen, [[spoiler: allowing Miss Martian to take his place in "Summit."]]
* {{Omniglot}}: He can speak English, Atlanean, and a little bit of Greek.
* OnlySaneMan: Compared to most of team early in the first season.
* OverlordJr: [[spoiler:As the son of Black Manta.]]
* PoweredArmor: [[spoiler:Kaldur's Black Manta uniform in season two. It gives Kaldur missile launchers and EyeBeams on top of the Atlantean abilities [[ClothesMakeTheSuperman his father lacks]].]]
* PowerTattoo: Has eel tattoos on his arms.
** PowerGlows: His tattoos glow blue when he uses his powers.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives a short but sweet one to Vandal Savage on his chronic case of UnderestimatingBadassery, punctuated by a BigDamnHeroes moment.
* RedIsHeroic: His shirt is red and he's one of the good guys.
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Superboy's red.
* ReverseMole: [[spoiler:Infiltrated Black Manta's organization to get intel on the Light.]]
* RousingSpeech: Aqualad, Robin and Kid Flash to give one in "Misplaced" to kids who can help pick up the slack after all the adults going missing.
* SadisticChoice: [[spoiler:Gives one to Superboy and Nightwing after his FaceHeelTurn, either fight him and try to bring him in or disarm a bomb that could kill a lot of Kroloteans and the other heroes in the base. The worst part is they couldn't even disarm the bomb. He was trying to warn Nightwing about the bomb without blowing his cover.]]
* ScaryBlackMan: Played with. Despite his stature and [[BadassBaritone voice]] making him somewhat intimidating, he's a straight-up NiceGuy -- but in "Depths," he's well and truly terrifying.
* SecretTestOfCharacter:
** He was put through this by [[spoiler:his [[ProperlyParanoid father, Black Manta]]. Kaldur "kills" Artemis, but what really earns him Black Manta's trust is that he ''didn't take credit'' for the rocket he was sent to destroy blowing up in an apparent fluke accident.]]
** [[spoiler: Again in "Darkest" where Kaldur blows up Mount Justice to prove his loyalty to The Light and their partner]]
* ShapingYourAttacks: In addition to shaping water into weapons, Kaldur is capable of fashioning water into the shapes of attacking sea creatures, as seen in "Targets."
* ShirtlessScene: In "Welcome to Happy Harbor" and "Infiltrator".
* SingleTargetSexuality: It seems that the only girl that has stolen Kaldur's heart is Tula.
* SleevesAreForWimps: His uniform is a skintight suit that leaves his arms bare.
* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: He was on the receiving end of this by Red Arrow.
* SpockSpeak: Without the antisocial stigma.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Has his mother's hair color, eyes and Atlantean traits but physically looks like his father.
* SuddenSequelHeelSyndrome: See SuperDickery below.
* SuperDickery: [[spoiler:Shows up as an apparent [[JerkassFacade villain]] out for revenge against all his friends in the early episodes of season 2. It's eventually revealed he's actually a ReverseMole for the Team.]]
* SuperpowerLottery: He has
** ElementalPowers
*** MakingASplash
*** ShockAndAwe
** RequiredSecondaryPowers
** SuperStrength: Though not as strong as Superboy.
** SuperToughness: Can withstand a beating by Superboy.
** SuperSenses: Nothing like Superboy's but normal for an Atlantean.
** SuperSpeed: Nothing compared to Wally but he is definitely faster than most underwater.
* TheStoic: He's calm, soft-spoken, and doesn't express emotion all that much.
** NotSoStoic: Sometimes, Kaldur's stoicism gives way to snark.
--->'''Red Arrow''' (after Kaldur asks if he needs help): Please. I don't need help from the Junior Justice League.
--->'''Aqualad''': Just our computers.
** EmotionsVsStoicism: He tends to stay on the stoic side.
*** [[spoiler:Has since went to the emotional side since his FaceHeelTurn. Only not, since he's a FakeDefector.]]
* TallDarkAndHandsome: One of the tallest of the team, dark skinned, and has been known to very attractive (i.e. Rocket in season one).
* [[TeamDad Team Big Brother]]: Stated as such by Miss Martian. Aqualad often keeps the others in line, and even literally acts like an older brother/mentor to both Superboy and Robin.
* ThickerThanWater: Claims to feel this way in Season 2.
* TranquilFury: Kaldur is the definition of this trope[[spoiler: until season two, though that is likely an act.]]
* TwoGuysAndAGirl: Had this dynamic with Garth and Tula. He has feelings for Tula, but Garth and Tula start dating while Aqualad is on the surface.
* UndyingLoyalty: After "Alpha Male" Kaldur stands up and defends his team mates no matter what. [[spoiler: Subverted after his FaceHeelTurn, though it's arguably because he felt the team betrayed him when Tula died. Then double subverted when it turns out he's been a FakeDefector all along.]]
* VillainousWidowsPeak: Averted. [[spoiler: Subverted in season 2]].
* WarriorTherapist: Shades of this when he first meets Superboy.
* WeakButSkilled[=/=]UnskilledButStrong: His magic is quite weak compared to his friends Garth and Tula. Because of his training under Aquaman though, he's far superior in physical combat. When compared to other members of the Team he floats in between because he has super strength, great agility and other above average abilities and skills, but is outdone by other members of the team in a few of them.
** TaughtByExperience: He, along with the other original members of the Team, became exceptionally more skilled over the 5 year time skip.
** TechnicianVSPerformer: Kaldur is the technician to Superboy's performer and the perfomer in contrast to Robin's technician.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: In-universe. Both Kaldur and Garth, the comics' original Aqualad, were offered the chance to be Aquaman's sidekick. Kaldur accepted; Garth declined, choosing to further his magic studies. {{Lampshaded}} when Kaldur asks Garth if he ever wonders what would have happened if he'd become Aqualad instead.
* WhiteSheep: He is a hero while his father [[spoiler:Black Manta is a villain. Double subverted in Season 2.]]
* WouldHitAGirl: Has no problem punching out female villains.
* YouAreNotAlone: [[spoiler: In ''Fix'', Artemis tells him this in his ruined mindscape while suffering through the MindRape placed on him. Artemis states a word in Atlantean ("symbiosi") to show that she and M'gann want to help him.]]

[[folder:B03: Kid Flash]]
!Kid Flash (Wally West)
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kidflash_1_5223.png]]
->''"Hurts so good."''
->Abilities: super speed
-->Voiced by Jason Spisak

Kid Flash is the junior partner and nephew-by-marriage of The Flash. He is a speedster in his own right, but has to suffer the ignominy of people never getting his name right: "Flash, Jr." "Flash Boy" etc. He is hotheaded and impatient, but quick witted and clever.

During the five-year gap between seasons, Kid Flash retires from superheroics to attend college. He is also still in a relationship with Artemis, and the two live together. Despite this, he sometimes puts on the costume in an emergency. [[spoiler: He is aware of Nightwing, Kaldur and Artemis' deep cover assignment]]. [[spoiler:He later fades out of existence assisting the Flash and Impulse avert the Reach's attempt to destroy Earth in the season 2 finale]].
[[hardline]]

* AccidentalMisnaming: No one can remember his superhero name.
* {{Adorkable}}: His expansive scientific knowledge is appealing to many fans.
** Some fangirls also find it to be a GeekyTurnOn.
* AdventureRebuff: Part of his back story in the tie-in comics: While he ''says'' otherwise in the narration, it's pretty obvious from the visuals and dialogue that Barry didn't initially want the responsibility of a sidekick and only agreed on a trial basis, after Wally gave himself superpowers.
* AlliterativeName: Wally West.
* ArbitrarySkepticism: In "Denial" Kid Flash doesn't believe in magic, thinking it is some elaborate technical trick (possibly explained by one of his mentor's foes being a man who uses future technology [[ClarkesThirdLaw so advanced that he pretends it's magic]]).
* AscendedFanboy: In the tie-in comics, he explains that he was a big fan of the Flash when he came across his uncle's notes and replicated the FreakLabAccident for the third time.
* BackForTheFinale: Shows up in "Summit" after sporadic appearances throughout the season, although he makes it clear he and Artemis intend to go back into retirement "once this Invasion thing is over." [[spoiler: Turns out to be a case of BackForTheDead.]]
* {{Badass}}
** BadassBookworm: Loves science, given that he can recognize the formulas for Blockbuster and Venom on sight, and even recreated the experiment that gave his uncle Barry his super speed. His best subject is Bio, but he excels at every other scientific field (chemistry, physics, etc).
*** And it's been [[WordOfGod confirmed]] that he's in AP classes.
*** Speaking of confirmations - SmartPeopleKnowLatin. Some. Though admittedly it's high school level.
** RetiredBadass: Post-TimeSkip.
* BattleCouple: With Artemis.
* BelligerentSexualTension: With Artemis. Big time.
* BeneathTheMask: He states that he wasn't [[AngstWhatAngst bothered by what happened in the events of "Failsafe"]] to Black Canary, who's visibly unimpressed, doesn't buy it, and accuses him of being in denial. He doesn't refute it and agreeably remarks, "I'm comfortable with that" without breaking his devil-may-care attitude front. Other than that one choke-on-popcorn slip up. This act of denying or repressing his emotions is proof enough that he was affected.
** In the "Face Your Fears" tie-in comic issue, Psycho-Pirate puts the entire team into anxiety. Wally's fear was not being good or fast enough to be Flash's sidekick, let alone ''be'' the Flash one day. His uncle never wanted a protégé to begin with (which, admittedly, ''is'' true by way of comic issue #6) unlike the rest of his friends. Furthermore, with his [[BigEater usual]] [[ChivalrousPervert habits]], and status as the jokester of the team, he feels no one takes him seriously.
** "Coldhearted" cements that Wally's thoughts clash with how he acts on the outside. He tends to hide his true character under his cocky, "cool", supposed Casanova façade (a few fans have called it the "Wall-Man" by origin of the episode "Infiltrator"). The best example was when Robin came to congratulate him on saving the country, and he responded obnoxiously about how he's "the man". His real satisfaction, as we learn by his ''inner'' musings, was actually seeing Queen Perdita's smile.
** In "Endgame", he shows up to help Barry and Bart save the world with a huge smile on his face, telling them "Can't let you guys take all the credit!" As soon as they aren't paying attention, he gets serious and starts running as fast as he can.[[spoiler: Bolts of energy start targeting him due to his slower speed, and he's disintegrated. It's heavily implied he knew this was the outcome, but also that they wouldn't have enough kinetic energy without him.]]
* BettyAndVeronica: Betty to Superboy's Veronica and Miss Martian's Archie -- though M'gann is only ever attracted to Superboy (who later reciprocates) and Wally making hopeless passes at her is mostly played for laughs.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Goes into a shouting tirade after [[spoiler: Artemis "dies"]].
--> "They're '''dead'''. Every single one of them, ''[[RoaringRampageOfRevenge if it's the last thing I do!]]''"
* BigBrotherMentor: [[spoiler: Although initially antagonistic towards Bart, Wally later makes it known that he plans on passing down the Kid Flash persona to him.]]
* BigEater: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] since his faster metabolism requires it. He's even got compartments for small food in his gauntlets.
* ABirthdayNotABreak: His sixteenth birthday party is interrupted by a request to run cross-country in order to deliver a heart in time for Queen Perdita's surgery.
* BlowYouAway: By usual speedster way of running around in circles (or spinning) fast to create a tornado.
* ButtMonkey: His HandsomeLech nature becomes an in-joke amongst the girls. Not to mention Episode 6, where he totally missed out on the BeachEpisode because he had school.
* CantCatchUp: Quite literally, In his case. To his dismay, he can't keep up with Impulse or Flash. "Go ahead, lap me. I'm used to it..." (Impulse then passes him) "Aw, come on!" It's implied something about their family line simply makes them better speedsters. Wally may have duplicated the accident that made the Flash, but doesn't have the genes to go with it. [[spoiler:Tie-in comics reveal that teenage Wally feared that he was holding back Barry instead of helping him. [[note]](In the mainstream comics): In the mainstream comics, this limitation ended up being psychological: Wally's perception of himself as ''Kid'' Flash, even after replacing Barry, was subconsciously limiting his own speed. This may or may not be the case on the show. WordOfGod suggests that Wally's recreation of Jay Garrick's lab accident didn't go quite as planned, and outright states that there is no Speed Force for him to make use of.[[/note]]]]
** [[spoiler:And it ends up being his undoing in "Endgame", as his inability to keep up with Barry and Bart result in him being quite the target for fatal doses of energy.]]
** The reason given on the wiki is that he replicated Barry's accident with a high school chemistry kit. Because of the lower quality of the chemicals and the lower amount of energy to be the catalyst, his speed isn't quite as good as the other speedsters.
* CatchPhrase: "Souvenir!" when he proceeds to take an item connecting to the mission of the day.
* CharacterDevelopment: Wally West/Kid Flash matured from a joking, flirtatious, very light-hearted character who refused to admit feelings for Artemis, to someone much more serious, responsible and a dedicated boyfriend.
* ChekhovsArmoury: His souvenirs are surprisingly turning into this.
* ChekhovsSkill: Inverted, as his lack of speed compared to Barry Allen and Impulse [[spoiler:ends up being what kills him.]]
* TheChessmaster: The entire climax of "Coldhearted." Wally really lives up to being TheSmartGuy.
* ChivalrousPervert: Has a tendency to hit on all the women he encounters, with the exception of Artemis, whom he [[ReplacementScrappy disliked because she "replaced" Speedy,]] and Zatanna, who is clearly being crushed on by his best friend, but he's incredibly loyal to his friends. Wally is a hero first and foremost.
** Although he flirts with Artemis when they have amnesia in "Bereft" and meet each other without this baggage. Good to note that it comes out genuine, unlike his other objectionable quips and moves. It helps that to him, Artemis was an unknown civilian whose protection was his responsibility as a hero.
* DeadpanSnarker: Robin is snarkier, but Wally is deadpan-ier.
* DodgeballIsHell: After the flashes of his [bad] school day in "Infiltrator", Wally would agree with this trope.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: He and Robin do this in "Failsafe." [[spoiler: Played far more seriously in "Endgame": Only Wally can go out while making a quip on how "Artemis is going to kill me". Not to mention that calm look on his face when he tells Barry to tell Artemis and his parents that he loves them.]]
* FieryRedhead: Red-haired, HotBlooded, {{Keet}}. Do the math.
* FlatEarthAtheist: Doesn't believe in magic when he lives in a world chock full of it. He insists that [[ClarkesThirdLaw all the supernatural phenomena they encounter has to have a scientific explanation behind it]], even if he has to attribute it to String Theory and pocket dimensions.
** Justified slightly- he mentions that The Flash proved that someone who was ''thought'' a magic user, Abra Kadabra, was simply a time traveler who utilized Clarke's Third Law with super advanced future technology to give the illusion that he was doing magic. Since he's Flash's protege, most of Flash's villains use science to do their tricks (such as Captain Cold or Mirror Master), and that both he and The Flash both got their superhuman abilities through chemical formulas, it's likely that he feels this way out of experience.
* FriendshipMoment: With Robin. [[spoiler: Specifically in "Failsafe", albeit by actions. Aside from diving in an attempt to save his best friend without hesitation when he was pulled back to the mothership's core, there's the silent ItHasBeenAnHonor nod he shared with him before they ''died'' together]].
* TheGadfly: Not as much as Robin, but considering that he spends a good portion of "Image" dropping hints about ''how convenient Bruce Wayne's appearances are'' just to see if anyone will catch on (and to annoy Dick) he certainly has elements of it.
** While Dick will troll anyone who deserves it, Wally seems to focus his trolling efforts on Dick alone. Issue #20 of the tie-in comics show that Wally also took the liberty of [[spoiler:informing Zatanna when Robin's birthday was, and smugly telling his [=BFF=] "You're welcome" when she kissed him]].
* GeniusDitz: Despite his frequent ditziness and impulsiveness, he does have a keen scientific mind.
* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: Apparently they can see in the infrared spectrum and are telescopic. They also prevent eye injuries when he's running at such high speeds, but that's not really unusual, unless you count the fact that usually GogglesDoNothing in fiction.
* HeroesLoveDogs: In season 2, Wally and Artemis own a pitbull.
* HeroesWantRedheads: Has an obvious crush upon Miss Martian, although averted with his actual love interest Artemis, who is blonde (and he doesn't show much interest in the show's many other redheads).
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Dies to save the Earth from the Reach's endgame.]]
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Robin.
* HiddenDepths: He's a surprisingly good actor.
** In the Free Comic Book Day tie-in, when Psycho-Pirate amps up all of his insecurities, what boosts his confidence and allows him to overcome it isn't anything flashy, like being a superhero or a genius or saving lives. The thing that convinces him he's worthwhile is that... his best friend trusts him.
* HopelessSuitor: Miss Martian seems unsure how to respond to his flirting, yet it's clear she's ''not interested''. Wally, meanwhile, seems to be oblivious to her obvious crush on [=Superboy=], or perhaps sees him as mere competition. Whatever the case, he continues his attempts to get her attention unsuccessfully. [[WordOfGod It's been said]] that his flirting is fueled by the belief that he's ''in'' the game and that she'll fall for him any second.
** By "Failsafe", however, it's hard to gauge (by him comforting M'gann and overall lack of subtlety on her part) what he's aware of and not aware of other than the fact that he has no idea they're a couple.
** As of "Coldhearted," Artemis told him of the relationship and he was disappointed.
* HotBlooded: {{Lampshaded}} by Aqualad that Wally is an impulsive hero, who doesn't usually think things through all the way.
* IShallTauntYou: Not as often as Robin I, but Wally does love to make fun of his enemies.
* JerkassFacade: See BeneathTheMask.
* JumpedAtTheCall: By his own account, Wally got his powers by replicating the same experiment that gave Flash (Barry Allen) his. Allen's experiment was in turn a controlled recreation of Jay Garrick's accident. This doesn't stop him from retiring though.
* KidAppealCharacter: The most {{Adorkable}} member of the team.
* KilledOffForReal: In the last episode, [[spoiler:He is disintegrated when he absorbs too much energy helping The Flash and Impulse get rid of an energy field that threatened to envelop the Earth. To honor his memory [[LegacyCharacter Impulse takes up his mantle]]. To hammer the point home, he gets a hologram in the garden like Jason Todd, Tula, and Ted Kord.]]
* KleptomaniacHero: He has a tendency to collect things on missions as "souvenirs", some of which are stolen from villains.
* LeeroyJenkins: See the HotBlooded section.
* LegacyCharacter: The third member of the Flash "family."
* LeParkour: Incorporates a bit of this into his SuperSpeed schtick.
* LightningBruiser: In contrast to his cousin, Bart: Bart is ''extremely'' fast, but thin and not strong enough to carry someone while running. Wally tops out around 700 mph, but he's shown effortlessly carrying Artemis, M'gann, and Robin, even at 15.
* LikesOlderWomen: Age doesn't deter him from hitting on Black Canary.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: [[spoiler: Being disintegrated by stray bolts of energy will do that to you.]]
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: ...''Wally''. Real name? Wallace.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: He drops the cheerful act [[spoiler:moments before he disintegrates.]]
--> '''Wally''': Ah man, Artemis is so going to kill me for this! And don't even get me started on Mom and Dad. [[spoiler:*soberly* Just tell them... okay?]]
** He even does so a little before that, when Artemis and the others on the Watchtower contemplate how to completely shut down the magnetic disruption, Wally just Zetas straight to Earth - no quip, no joke, not even a good-bye kiss to Artemis...''[[spoiler:[[FridgeHorror he knew he wasn't coming back.]]]]''
* OfficialCouple: With Artemis post-TimeSkip.
* PairTheSpares: Initially has a thing for Miss Martian, but ends up with Artemis, who initially had a thing for [=Superboy=].
* PluckyComicRelief: One of the main comic reliefs, but doesn't get easily discouraged.
* RedHeadedHero: Sports his classic red hair and is a teenage superhero.
* RedIsHeroic: His costume is primarily red and yellow.
* {{Retirony}}: [[spoiler: In "Endgame," he claims that this is his and Artemis's last mission before retiring for good. Whoops.]]
* SecretKeeper: Not only for Robin's SecretIdentity, and ''Batman's'' by default, but the fact that he ''does'' know is also a secret.
* SelectiveObliviousness: While one instance in "Denial" is debatable when Artemis comes in his souvenir room, it's safe to state by "Disordered" that he apparently chooses to ignore, in Canary's words, his "extreme reaction to Artemis' death", and the possible connotations that he may care for her more than ''he'' even bargained for.
* ShipperOnDeck: For Robin and Zatanna, in the tie-in comic.
* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: There are a disproportionate number of redheads in this show, but most of them have blue eyes.
* StepfordSmiler: Has some elements of a type A. Shown most clearly in "Disordered".
* SuperSpeed: Unlike the Flash and Impulse, who can travel near the speed of light, Kid Flash's top speed seems to level out around 700 mph or so, similar to how he started out in the comics. He also lacks the SuperReflexes of the Allen lineage. He averts FragileSpeedster because he can take a lot of punishment, and his fighting style involves a lot of charging and ramming enemies at high speeds.
* TeenGenius: Recent episodes have shown him to be as smart as Robin.
** InsufferableGenius: In his own words (when Miss Martian was attempting to restore his memories); ''"Try not to let [my] brilliance overwhelm you."''
** TheSmartGuy: [[http://i.cartoonnetwork.com/v5cache/CARTOON/site/Flash/i13/yj_showinfo_497x378_kidflash.swf His database page]] says he's a science prodigy. Shown when he instantly recognizes formulas for Venom and Blockbuster.
*** In "Denial" he mentioned that he got his powers by duplicating the FreakLabAccident that empowered the original Flash.
*** In "Homefront" he talks Robin through making an electromagnetic pulse device to take out the two androids who've taken over Mount Justice.
*** In "Humanity" he explains through a scientific approach how the androids are making a massive volcano that could cause an apocalypse.
** The sheer breadth ''and'' depth of his knowledge, coupled with the uncommon accuracy of his memory (he is never shown needing reference material, which even real world specialized researchers and academics commonly rely on for basic information) would imply borderline SuperIntelligence. The Flash family has had (to various degrees depending on the person in question) superhuman memory retention. Impulse, for example, could read and retain an entire library's worth of books.
* TookALevelInKindness: Along with [[BelligerentSexualTension cutting Artemis more slack]], Wally has also toned down his InsufferableGenius tendencies over the course of the first season.
* TheTropeKid: His superhero codename is "Kid Flash."
* WhatTheHellHero: Wally is the designated "What the hell"-er to Dick. Pretty much anytime Robin/Nightwing does something reckless, inconsiderate, or morally gray, Wally will at ''least'' question him.
* YouthfulFreckles: It's starting to look like a staple for some redheads, if not all.
** No longer has them at the age of 21.

[[folder:B04: Superboy]]
!ComicBook/{{Superboy}} (Conner Kent / Kon-El)
[[quoteright:175:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/superboy_2_6787.png]]
->''"I hate monkeys."''
->Abilities: super strength, super hearing, infrared vision
-->Voiced by Creator/NolanNorth

[=Superboy=] was designed by Project Cadmus as a clone of Superman, meant to replace him if anything should ever happen to the Man of Steel, or to take him down should Superman ever turn from Truth, Justice and the American Way. Or, in exact words, from the Light. He was freed from the influence of MindControl by Kid Flash, Aqualad and Robin, and after shaking off the brainwashing, made his own choice to join the others.

During the five-year gap between seasons, he breaks up with Miss Martian due to having problems with the use of her telepathy. He also begins attending college, but continues operating with the Team, unlike Wally.
[[hardline]]

* AdaptationDistillation: This version of Conner Kent skips past the vast majority of his two decades of publication and focuses primarily on his angsty days.
* AloofBigBrother: Acts this way to all the "Freshmen" members of the team in season 2.
-->'''Conner''': Ugh, you freshmen ''never'' do the homework!
* AntiHero: At first, though he's been gradually softening. As of ''Invasion'', [[spoiler:possibly from being under Superman's wing for the last 5 years]], he has become much more heroic since his anger issues have died down and he's troubled by Miss Martian's increased ruthlessness
* {{Badass}}: Despite being a very young clone, having even a fraction of Superman's strength and speed means Conner can be very lethal in a fight.
** BadassInDistress: In "War," [[spoiler: he is kidnapped by the Reach and kept in the Warworld.]]
* BattleCouple: With Miss Martian.
* BerserkButton:
** He will flip out when anyone mocks his lack of acceptance from Superman.
*** And do not, under any circumstances, hurt/insult M'gann. She might be able to prevent him from ripping you limb from limb, so don't risk it.
*** Also, [[AllThereInTheManual due to an incident with an illusion of the Joker in Mount Justice]], he hates monkeys. And apes. Not that he's ever come across a ''normal'' ape or monkey, mind, nor one that ''isn't'' trying to kill him.
*** In "Agendas" he does ''not'' take [[spoiler:being stuck in a pod wearing his Cadmus suit again very well, even though it's ostensibly meant to heal him.]]
* TheBerserker: Conner has some...anger issues that he takes out in combat. Best exemplified when Lex Luthor gives him specialized shields that give him full Kryptonian powers -- it makes him more powerful, but it also makes him far more reckless and angry.
* BettyAndVeronica: The Archie for Miss Martian's Betty and Artemis' Veronica, though Artemis expressed interest in him exactly once, and M'gann was interested in him from the pilot episode.
** Also the Veronica to Kid Flash's Betty and Miss Martian's Archie, though Wally's overtures towards her are futile.
* TheBigGuy: Of the original five, as the one who relies the most on his brute strength and was, initially, the most raring to get into fights.
* BornAsAnAdult: Due to being a clone, he was created physically sixteen.
* BoxingLessonsForSuperman: Quite literally, in this case. After Black Canary embarrasses him in a training match, he quickly adapts and starts taking judo lessons.
* ABoyAndHisX:
** A Boy And His Wolf- Named [[TeamPet Wolf]].
** A Boy And His Genesphere- Like Wolf, he bonded with Sphere a lot.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Initially, while at Cadmus.
* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: Brooding Boy to M'gann's Gentle Girl.
** Subverted in Season 2, when they've broken up.
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: Wears first a t-shirt (season 1) than some sort of short sweater looking thing (season 2), both with Superman's S on the chest.
* ByronicHero: Let's see: In season 1 we have a brooding pretty boy with anger management problems, and a rather dark streak that can make other heroes wary of him but is still a very sympathtic character.
* CharacterDevelopment: Superboy changed from basically a big ball of rage into someone much calmer and collected, even becoming something of TheHeart to the team.
* ChickMagnet: Sought after by the [[BettyAndVeronica shy Miss Martian and the aggressive Artemis at first]] (although the latter only appears to lust for him.) Also the the girls at his new school share an attraction to him in "Targets". [[CluelessChickMagnet Though the angst and his over-protectiveness of Megan was something of a turn-off]].
* CivvieSpandex: Like his comics counterpart, his costume is a black t-shirt with the Superman shield and a pair of jeans. Originally in short sleeves, he sports long sleeves in Season 2.
* ClarkKenting: When appearing as a civilian, he just turns his shirt inside out.
** Taken UpToEleven in the second season where during an interaction with a (non-hero) friend Conner is wearing his superhero gear, and a jacket.
* ClonesArePeopleToo: Despite having [[ThatThingIsNotMyChild "issues"]] with Superman, he has an independent life and is [[CharacterDevelopment slowly forming his own personality.]]
* CloningBlues: Being a clone causes him angst of many kinds.
* CursedWithAwesome: He'll never look older than 16. Which also means he'll look great forever.
* DeadpanSnarker: He has his moments, with equal parts "Deadpan" and "Snarker".
* FingerlessGloves: In Season 2.
* FluffyTamer: First [[ItMakesSenseInContext a robo-sphere]], and then a wolf. It's justified in that he is a clone of Superman and can handle large animals.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: In one of the tie in comics, Superboy is taken shopping at a store called Forever 16. Which he is.
* GeniusBruiser: Strongly implied by his ability to repair technology from New Genesis [[spoiler: and half his DNA being [[MadScientist Lex Luthor]]'s]].
* GoodCostumeSwitch: His initial costume (given to him by Cadmus) is destroyed in the pilot. He gets his traditional outfit shortly after.
** LightIsNotGood[=/=]DarkIsNotEvil: Notably, the first outfit is an all-white bodysuit, while the second is the pictured black-red-and-blue ensemble.
* GuileHero: In "Terrors", he's surprisingly competent at playing the villains and getting in with them. [[spoiler: Or not so surprising, considering his other father is MagnificentBastard Lex Luthor]].
* HairTriggerTemper: Can go from zero to [[CapsLock AAAAAAA]][[TheBerserker RRRRHHHHHH]] in the time it takes you to look at him funny, particularly if you push one of his buttons. [[CharacterDevelopment Tamped down gradually over time.]]
* HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler: It turns out that like in the comics, Superboy is the half-Kryptonian, half-human hybrid clone of Superman and Lex Luthor.]]
* HasTwoDaddies: Half of his DNA is Superman's, the other half [[spoiler: is Lex Luthor's]].
* TheHeart: Despite all his rough edges, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold or perhaps because of them]], Conner is pretty much always the first one to call WhatTheHellHero when anyone steps out of line and can be relied on to stand up for anyone, even insane clones or berserking golems.
* HeroesLoveDogs: Superboy was the one to suggest bringing Wolf onto the Team and he's almost always seen with Wolf (along with Sphere).
* HomosexualReproduction: [[spoiler: His two genetic "fathers" are Superman and Lex Luthor.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: Shortly after he first meets the team.
* HiddenDepths: There's actually a reasonably well-tuned brain behind all that superpowered berserker rage.
** He is also frequently seen working on and presumably repairing the Sphere indicating that he's a mechanical and engineering prodigy. [[spoiler:This is because his human parent is Lex Luthor.]]
* HowDoIShotWeb: Deals with this a bit in his introduction; he apparently knows he's a clone of Superman but not about the slight differences in their power sets.
* InASingleBound: He does this in almost every episode. He's heartbroken in the series premiere when he realizes he can't actually ''fly''.
* InnocentFanserviceGuy: When M'gann tells him he can't wear what he normally does to wear at school, he promptly changes. In front of her. This causes her to blush and turn away.
* InterspeciesRomance: With M'gann.
* ItIsDehumanizing: Referred to as such by Cadmus. It comes with the CloningBlues.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: As mentioned above, he really wants Superman's acceptance and to essentially ''be'' just like Supes. [[CharacterDevelopment And he is trying to work through the "jerk" bit...]] [[spoiler: ... and has become far more experienced and disciplined five years later.]]
* LaserGuidedTykebomb: ''Heavily'' implied to be the intention behind his creation, as well as another reason why Superman has such a hard time trusting/accepting him. Superboy's own words are that he was created to replace Superman should he be killed in action, or to personally kill Superman himself should he turn from "The Light". Given he was developed as a weapon, that many of The Light's operations have been countermeasures against the Justice League and [[spoiler: that Lex Luthor is a council member]], it's more than likely they had the latter option in mind.
** [[spoiler: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]]] in "Usual Suspects". [[spoiler: Cadmus may have intended to have more control, but by the time Superboy was broken out they'd only gotten so far as implanting a shut-down phrase]].
* LastMinuteHookup: [[spoiler: Finally gets together with Miss Martian again at the end of Season 2.]]
* LeeroyJenkins: [[spoiler: Luthor's shields]] bring out this side of him; he either bites off more than he can chew or causes so much property damage it endangers the team.
* LivingLieDetector: His hearing is sensitive enough to detect changes in heart rate.
* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler: Has Lex Luthor as his "second father"]]
* MaybeEverAfter: [[spoiler:The season 2 finale implies that he and Miss Martian will get back together. Due to the series ''and'' its tie-in comic being cancelled, it becomes this trope.]]
* MayDecemberRomance: With M'gann.
* MeaningfulName: "Connor" is Gaelic for "lover of hounds", alluding to his close relationship with [[TeamPet Wolf]].
* MixAndMatchMan: Of Superman and [[spoiler: Lex Luthor]].
* MythologyGag: As pointed out by WordOfGod, he's an imperfect clone of Superman, and as such only has Superman's original powerset (strength, not quite ''super''speed, invulnerability, [[InASingleBound not flight]]).
* NatureVersusNurture: Played with throughout the series. He was built as a weapon of the villainous group The Light, but after being rescued from Cadmus has been raised as a superhero.
** Becomes an even bigger question when it's revealed [[spoiler: only half of his genetic makeup is Superman's, with the other half being [[BigBad Lex Luthor]]'s.]]
* NeverGrewUp: Just like (briefly) in the comics, Conner doesn't grow older due to being a clone. In the Season 2 premiere, Conner still looks the same while the rest of the team has grown into young adulthood.
* NighInvulnerable: He '''is''' a clone of Superman after all.
* NoSocialSkills: Made all the more evident when he and M'gann go to school in episode 10. Only her telepathic pleas/hints kept him under control.
* NotGrowingUpSucks: As a byproduct of the cloning process, Superboy will never age past 16.
* NotWearingTights: He's very adamant about this.
* ObliviousToLove: At first.
* OddFriendship: He develops one with Icicle Jr. in "Terrors".
* OfficialCouple: With M'gann after "Terrors". By the time of Season 2, [[spoiler:Superboy broke off his relationship with M'gann, because of her willingness to MindRape her enemies. The last straw came when she tried to make him forget he was ever upset with her. Despite this, he still has feelings for her.]]
* {{Omniglot}}: Superboy [[WordOfGod knows]] many languages, including, but not limited to, English, Spanish, French, Korean, Arabic, Russian, etc. It's [[JustifiedTrope justified]], seeing as he was fed copious amounts of information by the G-nomes as part of his conditioning.
* ReallyWasBornYesterday: He's physically and mentally sixteen years old, but is actually sixteen ''weeks'' old as of the pilot.
* RedHerringMole: In season one. Despite the grumpy demeanor and his past connection to Cadmus, he's not the mole among the team.
* RedIsHeroic: The big, red "S" gives you a good guess on which side he's on.
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Aqualad's blue.
* SecretSecretKeeper: [[spoiler: He knew about M'gann's White Martian form before they even started dating. He figured she'd tell him when she was ready to.]]
* ShirtlessScene: A lot of times.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Showed hardly any interest in other girls, with the exception of one: M'gann M'orrz.
* SmugSuper: Initially started to disrespect Black Canary because of her lack of luck in the SuperPowerLottery, but she makes him eat his words. [[BadassNormal Robin]] has some poignant words for him when Superboy disses Black Canary for this.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Can be rather sloof to others at first, but once you get to know him, he's not a bad guy.
* SuperDickery: When the team first meets Superboy, he beats them all unconscious even though they were the ones to free him. Turns out he wasn't in full control of his actions because he was being mind controlled by G-Gnomes.
* SuperpowerLottery: Courtesy of being a clone of Superman.
** SuperSenses: So far, telescopic and infra-red vision, along with super-hearing.
** SuperStrength: Can lift buildings and throw larger enemies around like ragdolls.
** SuperToughness: Hardly anything hurts him.
* SuperSerum: [[spoiler:The Shields given to him by Lex repress his human DNA, giving him the full range of Kryptonian powers [[HourOfPower for about an hour]]. Unfortunately, it also [[PsychoSerum exacerbates]] his already HairTriggerTemper, and the effect seems to compound each time he uses one.]]
* TakingTheBullet: Not a lethal variant, but the spirit is the same. [[spoiler:When Blue Beetle turns on the team in "War", he jumps in front of a restraining staple meant for Arsenal, letting himself be captured so Arsenal could flee.]]
* TallDarkAndHandsome: He's tall, dark-haired, and considered very attractive in-universe.
* TranquilFury: He's working on it. By Season 2, he's mostly succeeded. [[spoiler:His confrontation with Nightwing in "The Fix" is probably the best example, never raising his voice once despite being very, very angry.]]
* TriggerPhrase: [[spoiler: Luthor can shut him down for hours with the phrase "red sun"... Or he could, until Miss Martian removed it in "Usual Suspects".]]
* TroubledButCute: Anger issues? Yep. CluelessChickMagnet? Yep.
* TwoFirstNames: Lampshaded. Miss Martian assumes Martian Manhunter gave him the name Kent as a tribute to the late Kent Nelson, prompting the response, "Shouldn't my name be Conner ''Nelson''?"
* {{Tykebomb}}: He spent the first few weeks of his life as Cadmus's mind-controlled puppet.
** DefusingTheTykebomb: The entire team to him.
* UnresolvedSexualTension: With Miss Martian until "Terrors". [[spoiler:They go back to it in season 2.]]
* UnskilledButStrong: He's working on it, though.
* UnstoppableRage: [[spoiler:Luthor's shields, which allow him full access to his Kryptonian powers]], only make matters worse. He's learning how to turn it into TranquilFury (by season 2 he's made some progress).
* WellDoneSonGuy: His first encounter with Superman saw him earnestly looking for Superman's approval. From there, things only get ''worse''.
** Things start to get better in "Auld Acquaintance" when Superman finally starts talking to him.
** And by Season 2, they are obviously close and Superman has given him a Kryptonian name.
* WhatTheHellHero:
** When he sees what [[spoiler: M'gann did to get information from the Krolotean mook]] in "Earthlings". He's cut off before he can really get going, but he's clearly shaken by it. [[spoiler: In fact, this is what led to their break-up. That and M'gann tampering with his memories.]]
** He also calls out [[spoiler:Nightwing]] in "The Fix" for [[spoiler:keeping the double-agent missions a secret and inadvertently dragging M'Gann into the mess, with the potential of getting all three teammates killed]].
* WhenHeSmiles: He rarely smiles, but when he does, it's truly special.
* WorkingWithTheEx: [[spoiler: In season 2 with Miss Martian.]]
* WouldHitAGirl: To protect another girl.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: He's chronologically six years old as of the second season, but will [[spoiler: always]] appear 16.

[[folder:B05: Miss Martian]]
!Miss Martian (M'gann M'orzz / Megan Morse)
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mgann_1-2_b_1499.png]]
->''"Hello, Megan!"''
->Abilities: telepathy, telekinesis, shape-shifting, flight
-->Voiced by Danica [=McKellar=]

The good-natured niece of J'onn J'onzz, the Martian Manhunter. M'gann is enthusiastic and eager to please, but there are hints that she has secrets of her own.

During the five-year gap between seasons, misuse of her telepathy leads to Superboy breaking up with her. She then starts a relationship with Lagoon Boy.
[[hardline]]

* ActionGirl: Her Martian PsychicPowers have kicked the asses of many an enemy.
* AdaptationDyeJob: Her eyes went from green to brown.
* {{Adorkable}}: Many of her early social interactions in the first season. Not so much later on.
* AliensStealCable: Everything she knows about Earth comes from watching TV. Her appearance and mannerisms are modeled after a character in the aptly named ''[[ShowWithinAShow Hello, Megan]]'' television series.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Smitten with the TroubledButCute Superboy.
* AlliterativeName: Megan Morse/M'gann M'orzz.
* AmicableExes: [[spoiler:With Lagoon Boy.]]
* [[AntiHero Anti Heroine]]: She's generally a decent, heroic person who genuinely cares for her team-mates, but she's willing to MindRape and kill to accomplish her goals. This includes [[spoiler:psychically attacking her own team-mates and effectively lobotimising Psimon to hide [[DarkSecret her true appearance]]]], and later [[spoiler:turning two separate Kroleteans into vegetables just to learn their secrets]]. The second time is especially notable as she did this in front of Batman and J'onn with no hesitation. Conner calls her on this, but she justifies it by saying that she only does it to the bad guys. This didn't stop her from [[spoiler:trying to make Conner forget he was ever upset with her...]]
* BadassCape: Develops more and more into one, while sporting a blue cape.
* BadassInDistress: [[spoiler:Kidnapped by Black Manta in "The Fix" to reverse her MindRape of Kaldur.]]
* BaldWomen: The "true" Martian form she shows her team-mates in "Image". [[spoiler: Not that her ''actual'' true form isn't bald too...]]
* BattleCouple: With Superboy.
* BeautyEqualsGoodness: [[spoiler:Subverted. Her true form looks more like a [[Franchise/{{Alien}} xenomorph]] than a cheerleader.]]
** [[spoiler:Doubly subverted as of season 2. Although she's not exactly evil, she's by far the most anti-heroic of this series heroes.]]
* BeneathTheMask: In the episode "Image" we learn [[spoiler:most of her eccentricities and mannerism are modeled after a character on an old sitcom.]]
* BerserkButton: Do not taunt her about losing Conner's love, the team's approval, or being banished back to Mars [[spoiler: for being a White Martian. When Psimon did it, M'gann [[MindRape put him into a coma]]]].
* BettyAndVeronica: The Betty to Artemis' Veronica for Superboy's Archie early in season 1. Conner eventually reciprocates her affection in "Terrors".
** Also the Archie to Kid Flash's Betty and Superboy's Veronica, though she was making moves on Conner from the start while Wally was making moves on her until reality hit.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: [[spoiler: Just ask Psimon. [[MindRape After he wakes up from a five year coma...]]]]
** And [[spoiler: Kaldur.]]
* BizarreAlienBiology: She's forty-eight in Earth years. However, since her species ages more slowly than humans, she's physically and mentally sixteen. And then there's [[spoiler:her real form, which has matchstick limbs and appears to have part of her brain on the ''outside''.]]
* [[BloodBrothers Blood Siblings]]: With Beast Boy.
* BlushSticker: Because of her shyness, she's frequently seen blushing.
* BoyishShortHair: Post-timeskip.
* BreakTheCutie: She suffers from this during "Failsafe" and "Image".
* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: Gentle Girl to Superboy's Brooding Boy.
** Subverted in Season 2.
* BrownEyes: To show her warm, caring nature.
* CatchPhrase: "''Hello'', Megan!" whenever she realizes something important or thinks of an idea.
** Seems to have drastically reduced its usage after the TimeSkip.
* CharacterDevelopment: M'gann started off as TheCutie, though it later became revealed that she was more of a deconstruction of said trope. She grew more ruthless and pragmatic as time went on, and eventually had to be snapped off course by a MyGodWhat HaveIDone moment.
* TheChick: At least in Season 1. She ultimately subverts or deconstructs most of the tropes associated with the chick.
* CoolBigSis: To Beast Boy.
* CoolStarship: Owner of the Bio-Ship.
* CorruptTheCutie: It wasn't her friends who did this, but rather the enemies she faced that made her do some questionably moral acts.
* CuteMonsterGirl: Just look at the picture. [[spoiler: Averted like you wouldn't believe with her true form.]]
* TheCutie: Deconstructed. [[spoiler: She based her looks and mannerisms off a cutie-type from a television show, due to her extreme fear of being rejected for her true White Martian appearance.]]
** CuteAndPsycho: Has some shades of this. In season 1 she's willing to go through a ''lot'' to maintain the cutie image, and while still beautiful in season 2, she's far more willing to take extreme actions.
* DarkSecret: [[spoiler: M'gann is really a White Martian masquerading as a Green Martian to avoid discrimination, as first seen in "Image".]]
* DeadpanSnarker: She gets a snarky moment in "Performance".
--> '''M'gann:''' Aw, poor baby. Something you ate?
* DissonantSerenity: [[spoiler:She's lobotomized two characters on screen without batting an eyelash.]]
** [[spoiler: She even thought to take the Krolotean's belt as a souveneir for Beast Boy mid-lobotomy.]]
* {{Dogged Nice G|uy}}irl: For Superboy.
* DudeMagnet: All the boys are pleased to see her, except Superboy, who is indifferent to her [[spoiler:until "Terrors", where Superboy reveals that her feelings for him are reciprocated]].
* EveryGirlIsCuterWithHairDecs: Sports a headband when she's in her civvies.
* ExpositoryHairstyle: After the TimeSkip, she appears with the shorter haircut pictured here. It seems to represent her abandonment of her previous sitcom high school cheerleader persona for a more no-nonsense command role (the haircut has a military look to it.)
* {{Fangirl}}: Of the sitcom ''Hello, Megan!''. It only lasted one season but the broadcasts of it gave her comfort when she was living alone on Mars and she based her whole personality and appearance when she came to Earth on the main character. When she meets the "real" Megan, Marie Logan, in "Image" she pesters her with questions about the show.
* FantasticRacism: Had been on the receiving end back on Mars [[spoiler: for being a White Martian]].
* FinalGirl: [[spoiler:She's the last one to die in "[[KillEmAll Failsafe]]".]]
* FishOutOfWater: She learned about Earth by watching TV and is ignorant of more common social behaviours and struggles to learn what is appropriate with regards to telepathy and privacy. She also shapeshifted into Black Canary while kissing Conner. J'onn says that in Mars it's common to shape-shift for a partner since everyone can read minds and wouldn't be caught off guard. Black Canary still finds it wrong.
* GirlyBruiser: Sweet, good-natured, cutie who likes baking, but is also capable of kicking lots of ass.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: When she uses her psychic powers.
* GoodIsNotSoft: In "Image" and Season Two.
* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: Her usual appearance. [[spoiler:Subverted, since that's not her real form: her true white martian self barely has any human characteristics, let alone human female ones]].
* HeelRealization: [[spoiler: Finding out Aqualad is a FakeDefector is what finally convinces her to cool it with all the [[MindRape mind-breaking.]]]]
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: M'gann is completely devastated when she [[MindRape mind rapes]] Kaldur, only to discover that he was a FakeDefector the whole time. It was bad enough that she became a DeathSeeker in "The Fix"]]
* HumanAliens: Subverted with her true form.
* IAmNotLeftHanded: [[spoiler: Using her shape-shifting powers to look like a Green Martian appears to limit her psychic abilities. After shifting into her true White Martian form, she was easily able to mentally overpower both Psimon in "Image" and later her uncle J'onn in in "Auld Acquaintance"]].
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: [[spoiler: Part of her underlying reasons for hiding her true form as a White Martian until "Usual Suspects" -- she was scared of being rejected by the team (especially Superboy), just as she was rejected for being a White Martian on Mars.]]
* ImportantHaircut: In season 2. It shows her maturity into a more anti-heroine.
* InterspeciesRomance: With Superboy [[spoiler:and Lagoon Boy]].
* InTheHood: Her stealth outfit includes a hooded cloak. Though she doesn't usually wear the hood up unless she's using her [[VisibleInvisibility camouflage powers]].
* JackOfAllStats: [[http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/tv_shows/youngjustice/index.html According to her stats]], she's about the middle of the road in almost all areas plus her additional powers (telepathy, telekinesis, partial invisibility, etc. etc.).
** However, in "Failsafe" we learn that [[spoiler:M'gann's potential telepathic power exceeds that of J'onn]].
* TheLancer: Seems to be filling this role to Nightwing in Season 2 seeing as how she's clearly commanding every squad she's in and is seen to be placed in charge of whatever squad has the most important mission.
* LastMinuteHookup: [[spoiler: Finally gets together with Superboy again at the end of Season 2.]]
* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: The Light to Artemis's Dark.
** Subverted in Season 2.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: How she describes her feelings toward Kaldur in "Denial".
* LimitedWardrobe: The outfit she claimed to have spent "hours" picking out for her first day at school is the one she usually wears at Mount Justice.
* MagicPants: She explains that her outfit is organic and responds to her mental commands.
* MakeOutKids: With [[spoiler:Lagoon Boy]].
* MaybeEverAfter: [[spoiler:The season 2 finale implies that she and Superboy will get back together. Due to the series ''and'' its tie-in comic being cancelled, it becomes this trope.]]
* MayDecemberRomance: With Superboy [[spoiler:and Lagoon Boy]].
* AMindIsATerribleThingToRead: [[spoiler: This hits her big time in the Season 2 episode "Before the Dawn" when she {{Mind Rape}}s Aqualad and learns that he's a ReverseMole.]]
* MindOverManners: She had to learn this in her introduction episode. She didn't take into account that since she immigrated to a planet where the majority of the population doesn't have telepathy, many people would find it rude and intrusive for her to use it without permission.
** Of course, once the team gets used to the psychic link they start slipping into it automatically whenever they want to have a private conversation, which then leads to others viewing them as rude when they have silent conversations that no one else can hear.
** Also encountered problems with shapeshifting in "Image", where M'gann took the form of Black Canary and made out with Connor. As Black Canary is both their teacher and in a relationship (though Green Arrow found it hilarious after identities were straightened out), she had to explain that shapeshifting tends to be controversial on Earth.
* MindRape: [[spoiler:Does this via telepathy to Psimon in "Image", two Kroleteans early in season 2, and Kaldur in "Before the Dawn". Also lampshaded by Superboy, whose memories she tried to tamper with during the TimeSkip.]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Superboy''': After all that we've been through... how could you think I wouldn't recognize your touch inside my mind? Didn't you know what that touch meant to me? And to have you ''pervert'' it like that.]]
* MyBrainIsBig: [[spoiler:When she's in her true form, it's so big that [[BizarreAlienBiology it hangs out of the back of her head]]. We later see that this is standard for both species of Martian.]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:After she mind rapes Kaldur, and the HeroicBSOD she experiences shows that she asks herself the same question throughout the rest of the episode.]]
* NaiveNewcomer: In season 1, she's ignorant to Earth customs and acts accordingly. No longer is one in Season 2; M'gann has become an AntiHero who is unafraid of doing whatever it takes (even [[spoiler:MindRape]]).
* NotSoDifferent: [[spoiler: From Psimon, according to Superboy. It was part of the reason he broke up with her.]]
* PayEvilUntoEvil: Been part of her character since the beginning. She smashes the crap out of Mr Twister with a big ass rock, [[CurbStompBattle curbstomps]] Psimon [[spoiler: twice]] and [[spoiler: {{Mind Rape}}s the occasional Krolotean to gain information.]] This leads her to [[spoiler:put the whammy on Kaldur as revenge for killing Artemis. When she learns the truth, she has a HeroicBSOD.]]
* OfficialCouple: With Superboy after "Terrors". In season 2, [[spoiler:[[OffscreenBreakUp they broke up some time during the five-year timeskip.]] Now she's dating Lagoon Boy. Superboy is the one who broke it off, after her casual MindRape started bothering him and she tried to wipe his memories of it to fix things. Being intimately familiar with her powers, he caught her in the act]].
* OlderThanSheLooks: Thanks to Martians aging about three times slower than humans. In season 1 for instance she's around the same maturity as a 16-year-old human, but is actually 48.
* PowerIncontinence: [[spoiler:"Failsafe" ends up as a result of this after her subconscious hijacked the psychic training exercise by accident, resulting in the members of the team who 'died' in the exercise going comatose.]]
* PowerPerversionPotential: Apparently not averse to using shapeshifting for roleplaying. Black Canary is not amused.
* PromotedToLoveInterest: Her comic counterpart hardly had any interaction with Superboy, even less romantic relationship.
* PromotionToParent: [[spoiler: After Beast Boy's mom dies.]]
* RedHeadedHeroine: She has red hair. [[spoiler: Subverted with her true form, which doesn't seem to have hair at all.]]
* RedHerringMole: Suspected of being the mole in season one, but isn't really.
* RefugeInAudacity: During the TimeSkip, Superboy began to be disturbed by the ease with which she would threaten and destroy the minds of her opponents, accusing her of abusing her powers. The tension arising from the disagreement threatened their relationship. [[spoiler: So Miss Martian tried rewrite his mind so that he wouldn't remember that he'd been angry with her or why, affirming his accusations. Superboy, knowing when he was being psychically attacked from his experiences ''with'' Megan, caught her in the act.]]
* ShapeshifterDefaultForm: Type B. Generally defaults to a green-skinned version of the main character from a tv show she loved as a child, [[spoiler: even though her original form is that of a less humanoid White Martian.]]
* ShipperOnDeck: Ships Artemis with Kid Flash, if only for the sake of trying to deflect her eye from Superboy.
* [[SomeCallMeTim Some Call Me Megan]]
* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:Her MindRape of Kaldur continues to have consequences three episodes after she did it, and things look like they'll snowball from there.]]
* StepfordSmiler: Shows some shadows of this since her first appearances, confirmed to be a '''Type A''' in the episode "Images", when it's revealed that all the back story she gave the team is a lie and that her current [[ShapeshifterDefaultForm looks and mannerisms]] are based on an 80's sitcom, because she felt alone in place where she was discriminated [[spoiler:for being a White Martian]].
* SugarAndIcePersonality: In the Second Season she acts like a loving big sister to Beast Boy, and a cold squad leader to everyone else [[spoiler:([[MakeOutKids except Lagoon Boy]])]].
* SuperPowerLottery: Definitely a winner:
** PsychicPowers
*** MindOverMatter: Which she also uses to simulate {{Flight}}.
*** {{Telepathy}}: She trumps ''J'onn'' in this department.
** ShapeShifting
*** {{Invisibility}}: More like very good camouflage since people can still [[VisibleInvisibility see her]] if she moves too much (like the Film/{{Predator}} from the eponymous film).
*** IntangibleMan: While she doesn't have this power in season 1 due to lack of skill with her shapeshifting, during the 5 year TimeSkip at the start of season 2 she finally masters this technique.
*** MultiArmedAndDangerous: Grows five arms in one episode to fight off a bunch of flying monkey robots, including growing one from her head. In another episode, she doubles up her arms to briefly augment her telekinesis.
** SuperStrength: While not nearly as powerful as a Kryptonian, Martians are physically stronger than humans.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: "On Mars, the white minority are treated like second-class citizens by the green majority. Of course, ''I'm'' green..."
* TautologicalTemplar:
-->'''Megan''': Those weren't victims! They're the bad guys!
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Girly Girl to Artemis' Tomboy.
* TookALevelInBadass: During the TimeSkip.
* TownGirls: The Femme to Zatanna's Neither and Artemis' Butch.
* TranslatorMicrobes: She can serve this function psychically when not facilitating straight telepathy.
* UnresolvedSexualTension: With Superboy until "Terrors". [[spoiler:They go back to it in season 2.]]
* UnscrupulousHero: In Season 2, she has become very willing to use MindRape against her enemies not caring about the consequences that might have. She justifies it by saying that she only does it to the bad guys and the information she gets from them helps the team.
* UnskilledButStrong: [[spoiler:J'onn theorized that she has the potential to be a psychic leagues beyond him after her subconscious accidently hijacked his psychic training exercise and overwhelmed him even after he tried to reassert control.]]
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler: Placing a MindRape on FakeDefector Aqualad ''wasn't'' the best idea you had.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Falling into this in Season 2 - [[spoiler:she's willing to MindRape aliens to learn their secrets and then to Kaldur as revenge]].
* WhamLine: [[spoiler: YOU DON'T KNOW ME AT ALL!]]
* WhatMeasureIsANonCute: [[spoiler: She fears that her ugly true appearance will cause her teammates to shun her, and as such defaults to a cutie-type facade.]]

[[folder:B06: Red Arrow (Speedy)]]
!Red Arrow / Speedy (Roy Harper)
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/red_1_6917.png]]
-> ''"I don't need help from the Junior Justice League.''"
->Abilities: athletic condition, archery
-->Voiced by Creator/CrispinFreeman

Red Arrow, formerly Speedy, was the junior partner of Green Arrow who trained the young man in the use of trick arrows as crimefighting tools. After being disgusted with the Justice League's idea of "bringing them into the circle", the younger archer set out on his own, leaving Aqualad, Robin, and Kid Flash to decide what to do with themselves by themselves. However, he's admitted that he respects the team, and that if they ever need a hand he's willing to help. He joins the team in "Insecurity", to set a good example for the others until he officially joins the Justice League, and not-so-secretly to uncover TheMole he suspects is on the team.

In "Usual Suspects" and "Auld Acquaintance" it's revealed [[spoiler:''he'' was TheMole all along, a ManchurianAgent planted on GreenArrow by The Light. Moreover, he isn't even the "real" Roy Harper, but a ''clone'' of Roy, that replaced the original mere months after Green Arrow took him on as his sidekick.]] After announcing his resignation from both the Justice League and the Team, Roy vows to find the original Speedy, who is last seen frozen in one of The Light's facilities and mysteriously missing his right arm.

Five years later, we find Red Arrow married to Cheshire, though the two have an on-again-off-again relationship due to Roy's obsession with finding the previous Speedy. The two also have a daughter, named Lian Nguyen-Harper. During the events of "Salvage" and "Bloodlines" the couple reconciles, and using Cheshire's underworld connections, Roy is finally able to locate and rescue Green Arrow's original sidekick.
[[hardline]]

* ActionDad: [[spoiler: In Season 2 he has a daughter, and straightens up partly for her sake.]]
* AloofBigBrother: To Aqualad, Robin, and Kid Flash. He's protective of them and has absolute faith in their trustworthiness, but he deliberately sets himself apart from them and belittles their choices for the first ten episodes. On their end, they all respect his opinions, trust him implicitly, and, in the early episodes, have an adorable tendency to parrot anything he says about how the adults just don't understand.
* BackForTheFinale: In both seasons.
* BadassNormal: His skill with the bow is such that he was able to aim for (and actually ''hit'') a target that ''Artemis'' (who's been shown to hit multiple targets at once) didn't want to risk aiming at. On the other hand, Artemis' reluctance likely had something to do with her desire to keep her relation to Cheshire and Sportsmaster a secret, the latter being the target Speedy hit.
* BattleCouple: With Cheshire.
* BeardOfSorrow: Has one in "Salvage", but soon shaves it off [[spoiler:after finding out he's a father.]]
* BerserkButton: Being called a sidekick.
* BigLittleBrother: [[spoiler: Technically to the original Roy Harper AKA Arsenal. Red Arrow is biologically 8, but physically 23; Arsenal is actually 23, but his body is still that of a 15-year-old. {{Inverted}} with Red Arrow and Jim Harper, since the former is technically older, while the latter was force grown to appear older.]]
* ClonesArePeopleToo: [[spoiler: Even after finding out he was a clone, he eventually got married and had a daughter.]]
* CloningBlues: [[spoiler: The Roy seen throughout season 1 is a clone, and his existential angst about this revelation has nearly destroyed him by the beginning of season 2. Luckily, Cheshire steps in to save him from himself.]]
* DatingCatwoman: With Cheshire.
* DeadpanSnarker: Like Wally, more deadpan than snarky.
* DecompositeCharacter: Once Arsenal shows up. They borrow different elements from the original comic book Speedy.
* ExpressiveMask: His DominoMask can show a variety of expressions.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Roy's Red Arrow outfit is nearly the same, except for the gloves: His left arm has a longer gloves with holes, while he has shorter glove, with no holes, on his hand.
* FieryRedhead: Short-tempered and judgemental.
* FingerlessGloves: Wears them in his Red Arrow gear.
* GoodIsNotNice: He's a hero, but is a jerk to his mentor, his teammates, and ''even'' the people he's rescuing.
* GoodParents: [[spoiler:Knowing he had a daughter who needed him, Roy immediately got his act together and WordOfGod even confirms he's still on leave from the League because he wants to focus on being a dad.]]
* GutturalGrowler: Goes into this during his addiction problem in "Salvage". It also makes him sound like [[{{Hellsing}} Alucard]].
* HeroicBSOD: After finding out [[spoiler:he was both TheMole and a clone of the original Speedy. It lasts a good five years]].
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: [[spoiler: After finding out he was a clone. Specifically shown in "Salvage" of how much he comes to hate himself.]]
* HonoraryTrueCompanion: He's TrueCompanions with the team's three founders and was part of the team for about two weeks in-series time.
* HouseHusband: WordOfGod confirms that Red Arrow is still on leave from the League so that he can focus more on being a father.
* HumblePie: It's one thing to find out [[spoiler:you're a clone]]. It's another to find out that [[spoiler: the mole you've been looking for all this time is [[TomatoInTheMirror YOU]].]]
* IWillFindYou: Non-romantic version. He spent most of the five-year time skip searching for the original Roy Harper, [[{{Determinator}} even as everyone else gave up.]]
* IneffectualLoner: He sets himself apart from the rest of the Team, but manages to do well fighting alongside them nonetheless.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Shows a lot of this into the first season, but grows out of it in the second season.
* {{Jerkass}}: Often treats his friends and random bystanders like a jerk.
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite this, he does genuinely care about his friends and secretly looks out for them. In "Performance" for instance, he shows real concern for Robin when he finds out the hero's become ill.
* ManchurianAgent: [[spoiler: For the Light.]]
* MayDecemberRomance: [[spoiler:Roy is technically 8 and Jade is 24 when they are married by season 2.]]
* MeaningfulName: "Roy" is Gaelic and English for "red" which is [[RedIsHeroic part of his attire as a hero.]]
* OutOfFocus: He basically vanishes from the plot in Season 2 [[spoiler: after rescuing the original Roy Harper]].
* PutOnABus: In season 2, [[spoiler: after finding the real Roy Harper, clone!Roy disappears from the series entirely besides a cameo at the finale.]]
* RageAgainstTheMentor: Goes on a tirade against Green Arrow and {{Rage Quit}}s in the very first episode of the show for being put on the "sidekick team", then spends much of season 1 operating alone as Red Arrow to prove to Ollie he's just as good.
** Inverted 5 years later in "Satisfaction", where after Ollie rages against himself for failing all his proteges, Roy ''reassures'' him that, despite their differences, he's always considered Ollie a good man.
* RageQuit: In the very first episode. Because of his outrage at being placed in "the Junior Justice League," he quits being Speedy.
* RedHeadedHero: He has red hair and a hero. [[spoiler: Subverted, he's actually been TheMole the whole time. [[DoubleSubverted Although not of his own bidding]], and after the issues he gets from being a clone are partly resolved, he's back on the hero track.]]
* RedIsHeroic[=/=]DarkIsNotEvil: His first superhero outfit was completely red, except the yellow hat; his second costume is both red and black.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In episode one, he defiantly declares himself to not be part of the Team.
* SecretKeeper: Knew Artemis wasn't Green Arrow's niece from the start, but only confronts Artemis about it when they're alone, and leaves it to her to tell her friends the truth.
* SidekickGraduationsStick: Within the first six episodes, Roy changes his hero identity from Speedy to Red Arrow.
* SixthRanger: An older peer of the team who sometimes works with them but tries to be independent. His designation is also B06.
* SleevesAreForWimps
* TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler: "I... I was the mole?"]]
** UpToEleven. [[spoiler: He's a clone of Roy Harper who replaced the original mere months after Roy became Green Arrow's sidekick, which means he was Speedy for ''years'', even longer than the ''original'' Speedy!]]
* TookALevelInJerkass: In "Insecurity" is especially nasty to Artemis, Superboy and Miss Martian. [[spoiler:This turned out to have been part of his subconscious Cadmus programming to get suspicion off him as the true mole while causing discord within the team.]]
* TookALevelInKindness: After recovering the original Speedy in Season 2 there is almost nothing of the old angry and resentful Roy, even giving Ollie a YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre speech.
* TraumaCongaLine: Finds out he was [[spoiler:TheMole and [[CloningBlues a clone]]]], gets [[TheChase hunted like an animal]] by BrainwashedAndCrazy Leaguers, and then spends the next 5 years in a HeroicBSOD [[CassandraTruth while all his friends tell him he's gone crazy]].
* WhamEpisode: "Usual Suspects" and "Auld Acquaintance" reveal that [[spoiler:''he'' was TheMole, and [[CloningBlues a clone]] who replaced the original Roy years ago.]]

[[folder:B07: Artemis]]
!Artemis / [[spoiler:Tigress]] (Artemis Crock)
[[quoteright:175:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/artemis_2_6894.png]]
->''"I feel naked, and not in a fun way."''
->Abilities: archery
-->Voiced by Stephanie Lemelin

Artemis is a mysterious archer originally introduced as Green Arrow's niece. In actuality, she is the daughter of Sportsmaster and retired villain Huntress, who decided to reject her family's criminal ways. She also has a sister, Jade Nguyen, who operates as the assassin Cheshire. Though Artemis initially goes to great lengths to hide this information from her friends on the Team, at the end of season 1 she comes clean about her family's checkered past and goes on to help capture her father.

Five years later, Artemis has retired from being a superhero and is attending college. She is also still in a relationship with Wally, and the two live together. [[spoiler:She eventually rejoins the Team and then [[FakingTheDead fakes her death]] in order to infiltrate the The Light with Kaldur as the villain Tigress.]]
[[hardline]]

* AbusiveParents: Her father, Sportsmaster, was both verbally and emotionally abusive to her and her sister Jade. Her mother, despite being a former villain, is extremely loving and supportive.
* ActionGirl: As her competence with a bow and arrow will attest.
* AdaptationDyeJob: Comic book Artemis has blue eyes, while this Artemis has [[GrayEyes dark gray ones]]. Oddly, promotional material and early tie in comics featured her with blue eyes as well, before updating them to gray later on.
* AdaptationExpansion: While a minor villain in the comics, Artemis has multiple major story arcs in the show.
* AdaptationalHeroism: Her comics namesake is evil.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Had a crush on Superboy, and even gets pissed off when she finds out he and M'gann have been dating in "Secrets."
* {{Badass}}: She's a supervillain's daughter and as such was trained in combat by him.
** BadassNormal: No superpowers, but dangerous with a bow and arrow.
** HeartbrokenBadass: After [[spoiler:Wally dies]].
** RetiredBadass: Post-TimeSkip.
* ArcherArchetype: Somewhat cold, strong-minded, independent, and haughty at the beginning, to the point of being pegged as a potential mole because of this. By the second season, she's mellowed out and is far easier to work with.
* BadLiar: Ninja boyfriends. And cousins who did not W-I-N the state spelling bee.
* BareYourMidriff: Part of her superhero outfit.
* BattleCouple: With Kid Flash.
* BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler: "The Fix" shows that she fears doing this, and sometimes looks in the mirror purely to remind herself that she's Artemis.]]
* BelligerentSexualTension: She has this with Kid Flash in spades.
* BettyAndVeronica: The Veronica to Miss Martian's Betty for Superboy's Archie. Superboy ends up dating M'gann.
* BlatantLies: About her backstory:
** While she was amnesiac, she revealed to Kid Flash that it would be fully in character for her father to send her out to kill someone like him as a test. After they got their memories back, he questioned her about this where she hastily made up a story about a movie plot with ninjas.
** In a later episode Robin noticed her in Gotham City instead of where Green Arrow lives. She said she was visiting her cousin. Robin had taken a picture with her in his civilian identity as a joke, and was just trolling the hell out of her.
* BloodKnight: Her preferred response to emotional stress is to look for an ass to kick.
* BrokenBird: Due to emotional abuse by her father during her childhood. Much of her CharacterDevelopment in Season 1 revolves around growing out of her personal trauma.
* CainAndAbel: She's a hero while her sister is the villian Cheshire. Reversed in season 2 [[spoiler:when Artemis becomes a ReverseMole in Black Manta's group, while Jade becomes an AntiVillain out to destroy them.]]
* CharacterDevelopment: Artemis started off very much as a BrokenBird, with serious trust issues and way more insecure than she let on. By the end she'd come to trust her friends and was much more confident.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Cameron AKA Icicle Jr, as shown in the tie-in comics. (In the main DC universe, their counterparts are married.)
* ClassicalAntiHero: When first introduced, especially evident in "Homefront" and "Secrets".
* CompositeCharacter: Is a composite of heroine Arrowette (Suzanne "Cissie" King-Jones) and villianess Tigress III (Artemis Crock) from the ''ComicBook/YoungJustice'' comics.
* ContraltoOfDanger: Has a lower voice than the more feminine M'gann and Zatanna, befitting her tougher, more tomboyish, more mysterious nature. Puts this to good use in season 2 [[spoiler: as a DeepCoverAgent for the Light.]]
* DarkSkinnedBlond: Because she's biracial, she has tanned skin and blonde hair.
* DeadpanSnarker: Mostly toward Wally. Gets one with Red Arrow in "Insecurity".
* DefrostingIceQueen: Towards Wally mainly, but has also warmed up to Robin and Zatanna.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: [[spoiler:After joining Aqualad's ReverseMole operation inside The Light as the villian Tigress.]]
* FakingTheDead: [[spoiler:In order to infiltrate the Light.]]
* FamilyThemeNaming: Assumes the identity of [[spoiler:Tigress in Season 2, following the theme of her mother and sister's code names Huntress and Cheshire.]]
* {{Fangirl}}: WordOfGod confirms that since archery was her primary skill, she had admired Green Arrow from a distance, and chose green as a costume color because of him.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The Responsible Sibling who works for the good guys to Jade's Foolish Sibling, who works for the League of Shadows.
* FreudianSlip: During her therapy session with Black Canary, Artemis accidentally lets it slip that she's more worried about Wally learning about her past than anyone else on the team.
* GrayEyes: She has dark gray eyes that look almost black, representing her strong will and secretiveness.
* GreenEyedMonster: She wasn't too happy with Wally's birthday wish for M'gann to kiss him in "Coldhearted".
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Subverted as of "Secrets." Artemis prefers ranged combat, but is fully capable of beating the shit out of people with her bare hands, hell [[BloodKnight she even enjoys it.]]
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Generally a good person, who wants to be a hero.
* HeroesLoveDogs: By season 2, she and Wally own a pitbull.
* HeroesWantRedheads: Becomes an OfficialCouple with RedHeadedHero Wally West/Kid Flash.
* HiddenDepths: She is able to understand complex scientific terms like Wally.
* HoldingHands: With Kid Flash in "Bereft."
* InSeriesNickname: Called "Baby Girl" by her father, Sportsmaster.
* IndyPloy: In "The Fix", she quickly copes with [[spoiler:Psimon being brought in to cure Kaldur, which could expose them both, by disabling him and convincing Black Manta to get M'gann instead, thereby allowing Kaldur to be cured without anyone being the wiser]]. Not bad for a BadLiar.
* IneffectualLoner: Despite her aloofness, she really does want to work with the Team.
** IJustWantToHaveFriends[=/=]IJustWantToBeSpecial: Episode 23 reveals just how much she wants to be part of the team. When she finds out she was only allowed on the Team because her mother begged the League, and not because of her skills, she's crushed.
*** Also goes to extreme lengths in "Insecurity" to prevent the Team from learning about her villian family.
* {{Irony}}: In the first season she lies about [[spoiler:being Oliver's niece]] to justify her sidekick status. In the second season, [[spoiler:her sister has married Roy Harper's clone, meaning Artemis actually is Ollie's niece-in-law by a tenuous mix of blood and legality]].
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Has anger issues and can be confrontational. But she is a good person and wants to be a hero.
* JumpedAtTheCall: She is quite happy to stay with Wally, but sprung back out of retirement when Nightwing called. [[spoiler:At the end of Season 2, Artemis gets back into full-time hero work to cope with Wally's death--despite his dying while on the team.]]
* LickedByTheDog: [[spoiler:Wolf doesn't sound the alarm when she puts an inhibitor collar on him just before infiltrating Mount Justice.]]
* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: The Dark to M'gann's Light.
** Subverted in Season 2.
** A sibling example: She's the Light to Jade's Dark.
* MeaningfulName: In [[ClassicalMythology Greek Mythology]], Artemis is the goddess of hunting and used a bow and arrow. Also a reference to her mother's codename, Huntress.
* MeaningfulRename: [[spoiler:Tigress, a mix of the hunter and cat motifs of her mother and sister's code names Huntress and Cheshire. She decides to take on the name full-time in the season 2 finale as a way of coping with Wally's death; according to her, "Artemis" was his partner and she needs distance.]]
* TheMirrorShowsYourTrueSelf: Inverted, then played straight in season 2.
* MoralityPet: Acts as one to her older, villain assassin sister, Cheshire.
* MysteriousPast: Her father is Sportsmaster, her mother is the ex-villain Huntress and her sister is Cheshire. Artemis hides this from the team until "Usual Suspects."
* MythologyGag: [[spoiler:Her villain alias, Tigress, is what her evil comics counterpart uses. Her mother Paula is also [[LegacyCharacter the original Tigress]] in the comics, though she was called Huntress (her own alias in the show) until the Bat-Family member of the same name was introduced.]]
** The tie-in comic shows that she used to be friends with Icicle, Jr. Their comics counterparts were married.
* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: [[spoiler:To Wally.]]
* OfficialCouple: With Wally post-TimeSkip.
* {{Omniglot}}: WordOfGod confirms that Artemis can speak, besides English, French, Vietnamese, and high school Spanish.
* PairTheSpares: Initially has a thing for Superboy, but ends up with Kid Flash, who initially had a thing for Miss Martian.
* PromotedToLoveInterest: Her comic counterpart was a villain who had no relationship with Kid Flash.
* RaceLift: She's half Vietnamese, while her comics counterparts are fully Caucasian.
* RapunzelHair: Keeps it around waist length.
* RealityIsUnrealistic: A major complaint about her character design is how she's half Asian but has blond hair. She's actually [[http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=13138 visually based on producer Victor Cook's daughter]], who is a natural blonde despite having parents who are both half-Asian. In the same Q&A Greg hints that the identity of Artemis' grandparents will be important.
* RealNameAsAnAlias: "Artemis" is both her real name and superhero name. Not so much in season two, where she goes by "Tigress."
* RedHerringMole: Despite her anger and aloofness, she's not the mole in season one.
* ReverseMole: [[spoiler: After faking her own death to build Kaldur's credibility with the Light, she joins him as a mole in Black Manta's organization.]]
* SexyShirtSwitch: Wears nothing but a red jersey of Wally's on Valentine's Day.
* SheIsAllGrownUp: According to Icicle Jr.
* ShipperOnDeck: Ships Miss Martian with Aqualad, if only for the sake of trying to deflect her interest in Superboy.
* SixthRanger: Breaks the original FiveManBand when she joins the Team a few episodes into season 1.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Lose the blonde hair, and she's a mirror image to her older sister and mother.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Tomboy to Miss Martian's Girly Girl.
* TomboyishPonytail: In contrast to M'gann, who wears her hair down, Artemis ties her long hair in a ponytail.
* TownGirls: The Butch to Zatanna's Neither and Miss Martian's Femme.
* TroubledFetalPosition: Goes into one of these [[spoiler: during "Homefront" after the rest of team is captured.]]
* {{Tsundere}}: Mostly towards Wally, whom she acts very harshly to before they get together.
* TwoferTokenMinority: She's one of the few females and is half-Vietnamese.
* VasquezAlwaysDies: [[spoiler:She's the first one to die in "[[KillEmAll Failsafe]]."]]
** [[spoiler:Subverted in "Depths." She's the first of the old team to "die" but it's part of an elaborate plan concocted by her, Wally, Nightwing, and Aqualad.]]
* WhatTheHellHero: Gives one to Miss Martian telepathically after M'gann [[spoiler:{{Mind Rape}}s Kaldur.]]
* WhiteSheep: The rest of her family are either villains or ex-villians.

->Abilities: magic, reality warping
-->Voiced by Creator/LaceyChabert

Magician and teenaged daughter of Giovanni Zatara. She joins the team in their search for Red Tornado. Zatanna later ends up joining the team in full [[spoiler: after her father becomes the latest host of Doctor Fate]]. [[LoveAtFirstSight Robin takes]] [[ShipTease an immediate liking to her.]] Zatanna is much younger in the show than she is in the comics (and the {{DCAU}}), where she is around Batman's age.

Five years later, Zatanna has become a full-fledged member of the Justice League.
[[hardline]]

* ActionGirl: She's young and inexperienced at first, but steadily grows more competent with her magic. By season two, she's become good enough to be a member of the Justice League.
* AgeLift: She's a contemporary of Batman in the comics.
* AlliterativeName: Zatanna Zatara.
* AmicableExes: With Nightwing after the time skip. Occasionally implied to still be FriendsWithBenefits with him, given their rather flirtatious interactions.
* AttackReflector: In "Cornered", she uses a spell that reflects Despero's DeadlyGaze back at him.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: In "Misplaced", she wishes [[spoiler: her [[OverprotectiveDad father]], Zatara, would give her some space.]] By the end of the episode, she gets what she wants, but not how she wants and it leaves her crying.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Tells [[BuffySpeak Robin]] to "[[RunningGag Be as 'Chalant' as he wants.]]" After the time skip, they're even AmicableExes.
* BlackMagicianGirl: She's a spunky young girl who uses her magic to attack.
* BoundAndGagged: In "Secrets". Also subjects Riddler to this in "Usual Suspects"
* BreakTheCutie: Zatanna suffered this in "Misplaced" [[spoiler: after her father had became a permanent host for Dr. Fate]].
* BreakTheGameBreaker: In "Cornered" Despero tries to do this trope by paralyzing her with his DeadlyGaze as soon as he sees her. [[spoiler: It was a good idea too; as soon as Miss Martian wakes her up, Zatanna possesses Mal Duncan in about half a second and then renders Despero, who had spent the entire episode effortlessly [[CurbStompBattle Curb Stomping]] Captain Marvel and Superboy, helpless with one spell.]]
* CharacterFocus: Shares the spotlight with Artemis in "Secrets".
* CombatStilettos: Averted in this incarnation of the character. She wears square-heeled boots which are practical enough for battle. Lampshaded in "Secrets" when she magically changes them into flat sole boots during a chase scene.
* CuteWitch: Even wears a "traditional" witch costume for Halloween.
** HotWitch: Her outfit for season 2 seems hell bent on emphasizing the fact, especially with its much lower neck line.
* DeadpanSnarker: A more subtle variant compared to Artemis and the boys.
* DemotedToExtra: In Season 2.
* ElementalPowers: As part of her VancianMagic.
** AnIcePerson
** MakingASplash
** PlayingWithFire
* FunctionalMagic: She got her magicking from her father. It's Rule Magic, that requires the spells to be said backwards.
* GenreSavvy: She knew that her father would ''ground her for life'' for going on a mission with the team.
* MsFanservice: Especially in season 2 , when her hero outfit shows more of her chest.
* MundaneUtility: Seems to know a lot of spells for quickly altering her own or others' clothing.
* PluckyGirl: Zatanna doesn't give up.
* RavenHairIvorySkin: She has black hair, pale skin, and is considered beautiful.
* RealNameAsAnAlias: "Zatanna" is both her real name and her superhero codename.
* SidekickGraduationsStick: She's left the team and has become a member of the Justice League in-between seasons.
* SixthRanger: Though initially a GuestStarPartyMember in "Humanity" and "Secrets", she becomes this at the end of "Misplaced".
* SquishyWizard: Even more so than Miss Martian, as she has to actually speak all of her spells, doesn't have stealth or mobility, and is apparently the shortest on the team.
* TookALevelInBadass: In one episode, she was very hesitant to cast a locator spell. Next episode? She ''attacks an ice fortress and [[KillItWithFire burns it]]''.
* TownGirls: The Neither to Miss Martian's Femme and Artemis' Butch.
* VancianMagic: She has to memorize each spell individually and casting each spell exhausts her. The only thing non-Vancian is that she doesn't forget the spells after she casts them.
* WarriorTherapist: To Artemis in "Secrets", though Artemis refuses to heed her advice concerning bad secrets.
* WeakButSkilled: In the beginning, as she's an inexperienced magician but her spells really help out the team in battle.
* YoungerAndHipper: Zatanna in the modern-day comics is about the same age as Bruce Wayne; the two having been {{Retconned}} into being ChildhoodFriends, as well as her being an occasional LoveInterest for him. This version of her is made a contemporary of Dick Grayson instead, making her almost two decades younger than Bruce in this series, as well as shifting her status as a friend and occasional LoveInterest to Dick as well. However, it's been brought up by GregWeisman that Zatanna was originally introduced into the comics as a teenager in the '60s, when Dick Grayson was still a teenager, too. Zatanna was simply allowed to "grow up" faster than Dick, due to becoming the universe's de facto magician after her father died, while Dick must always be younger than Batman. He also noted that there are very few cases of a superhero legacy between a parent and child, and that by not taking advantage of Giovanni and Zatanna Zatara's relationship, the show would have lost something.

[[folder:B09: Rocket]]
!Rocket (Raquel Ervin)
->''"Is it always like this?"''
->Abilities: force fields, flight
-->Voiced by Miss Kittie (Season 1, "Satisfaction"), Denise Boutte ("Intervention")

Sidekick of ComicBook/{{Icon}}. She and Icon debuted in an earlier episode dealing with the Injustice League's monster plants, along with other superheroes around the world. They intermittently appeared in later episodes, leading to Icon's induction into the Justice League and Rocket joining the Team.

Five years later, Rocket has become a full-fledged member of the Justice League.
[[hardline]]

* ActionGirl: She has no superpowers, but instead draws them from her belt. She's capable of flight and barrier creation.
* AmicableExes: With Nightwing after the time skip.
* AudienceSurrogate: {{Justified}} since she was the newbie in the last parts of season one.
* BarrierWarrior: She can create force fields. They're pretty powerful, too considering [[spoiler: they can hold a mind-controlled ''Wonder Woman''.]]
* ChekhovsGunman: She appeared in the background of a few episodes before Icon's induction into the League and her joining the Team.
* DeadpanSnarker: She's snarky even in the heat of battle.

* EnergyAbsorption: Her barriers only get stronger when kinetic energy is applied. [[spoiler: She demonstrates and explains this when she traps Wonder Woman in one.]]

* {{Flight}}: Part of her powerset.
* HappilyMarried: Or engaged. Even has a bridal shower in "Satisfaction".
* IsItAlwaysLikeThis: Asked pretty much word-for-word when she joins the Team.
--> '''Rocket:''' It ''is'' always like this!
--> '''Zatanna:''' Told ya.
* KineticWeaponsAreJustBetter: Uses her force fields as projectiles sometimes.
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee [=/=] [[AscendedFanboy Ascended Fangirl]]: In "Usual Suspects" she says that sidekicks like Aqualad, Kid Flash and Robin were her inspiration.
* SassyBlackWoman: A milder example than most people who fall under the trope, but she still fits the bill.
* SidekickGraduationsStick: Joined the Justice League as a superhero in her own right in-between seasons.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Bio Ship]]
!Miss Martian's Bio Ship
* {{Invisibility}}: Has the same type of camouflage as its owner.
* LivingShip: It's sentient, and responds to the commands of whoever's driving it.
* ShapeShifting: Can transform from an egg-shaped "sleep mode" of sorts into a full-sized ship. Any and all exits from the craft are also made by simply shapeshifting a hole in the hull.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:C01: Sphere]]
!Sphere / The Super Cycle
A robotic sphere from New Genesis that came through a boom tube to the Bialyan desert and developed a liking for Superboy. Later, her true form as the "Super Cycle" and the New Genesphere were made known to the team by the Forever People. She now lives in The Cave and serves as a means of transport for The Team.

* CompanionCube: Superboy seems to be able to understand its moods.
* CoolBike: Can transform into one.
* MamaBear: Is very protective of Superboy.
* PuppeteerParasite: A heroic version. Sphere can transform into a bug-like control apparatus and latch onto certain mechanical foes, at which point Superboy can control them by "driving" them through Sphere. It worked on Infinity Man, but the Appellaxian golem avoided the attempt.
* SamusIsAGirl: Superboy is surprised when the Forever People refer to Sphere as female.
* TeamPet: The Team all care for Sphere.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:C02: Wolf]]
!Wolf

-->Voiced by Creator/DeeBradleyBaker

Superboy's second pet. Wolf was originally an ordinary wolf from India that was physically and mentally enhanced with Kobra Venom by The Brain. After fighting with Superboy and being freed from The Brain's thrall, he decided to remain with Superboy, becoming a member of The Team.
[[hardline]]

* AmplifiedAnimalAptitude: Thanks to Kobra Venom.
* CanineCompanion: Wolf is a genetically engineered wolf and is closest to Superboy.
* CanisMajor: He's bigger than the average wolf.
* ADogNamedDog: A wolf named wolf.
* {{Expy}}: He resembles Krypto the Superdog. Kid Flash suggesting naming him that, but Wolf rejected it and M'gann said it was taken.
* NobleWolf: After he was freed from The Brain's control, he becomes heroic wolf and regards The Team as his pack.
* ShipperOnDeck: For Superboy[=/=]Miss Martian. In "Happy New Year", he doesn't like seeing M'gann with Lagoon Boy.
* TeamPet: This doesn't stop him from being treated like any other operative on missions.

!Tempest (Garth)
[[quoteright:175:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tempest_2153.png]]

-->Voiced by YuriLowenthal

Aqualad's best friend. With Kaldur, he assisted Aquaman just enough to help him defeat Ocean Master, but unlike Kaldur, he declined being Aquaman's apprentice. Joined and left the team during the 5-year TimeSkip.

* ApparentlyHumanMerfolk: As a "pure" Atlantean he looks almost exactly like a normal human his age.

* PrettyBoy: Drawn as such.
* PutOnABus: Leaves the team [[spoiler:following Tula's death]].
* TallDarkAndHandsome: Tall, dark-haired, and considered attractive.
* TronLines: Part of his get-up as Tempest.
* TwoGuysAndAGirl: The original dynamic between him, Kaldur and Tula.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Discussed in-universe. Garth could easily have become Aqualad, like he is in many other iterations of the DC universe, instead of Kaldur.

* BareYourMidriff: Part of her get-up.

* DudeMagnet: Managed to win the affections of both Garth and Kaldur.
* ElementalPowers: Water.
* FieryRedhead: Usually {{Averted}} mostly due to her short screentime.

[[folder:B14-15: Lieutenant and Sergeant Marvel]]
!Lieutenant and Sergeant Marvel (Freddy Freeman and Mary Bromfield)

Joined (and apparently left) the team sometime during the TimeSkip.

* AdaptationNameChange: Their codenames sidestep the issues of Mary Marvel using her real first name and Captain Marvel Jr. being unable to actually say his codename. [[http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=19009 AskGreg states that Mary is Sergeant Marvel and Freddy is Lieutenant Marvel]].

!ComicBook/{{Batgirl}} (Barbara Gordon)
[[quoteright:174:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yjs2_batgirl_174x252_5681.png]]

-->Voiced by Alyson Stoner

Barbara Gordon is the daughter of Gotham City Police Commissioner James Gordon. She's also Dick Grayson's oldest friend.

* TheAce: Lampshaded by Dick in the tie-in comic:
--> '''Dick''' ''(to Bette, after Barbara and Artemis beat them at table soccer)''''':''' She's like, ridiculously good at ''everything''.
** Nightwing also appears to trust her judgement and take orders from her without question, despite her technically being his subordinate.
* ActionGirl: Like all of Batman's protégés, Barbara is very handy in a fight.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Bats.
* AscendedExtra: Made short appearances in "Homefront", "Failsafe", and "Misplaced" before fully being introduced as Batgirl in season two.
* BadassNormal: No superpowers, but very proficient in martial arts.
** BadassInDistress: In "Beneath," she's knocked unconscious and placed in a stasis cell by Queen Bee's goons, but the other girls break her out of it. In "War," [[spoiler: she is kidnapped by the Reach and kept in the Warworld.]]
* [[BigBrotherInstinct Big Sister Instinct]]: A blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, but when [[spoiler: the Blue Beetle turns against the Team]], she pushes Tim out of the way of the incoming blast.
* [[BigBrotherMentor Big Sister Mentor]]: Is listed as one of Tim's mentors, along with Nightwing and Batman. WordOfGod also says she acts as one for Cassie.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: With Nightwing, but it's complicated. She confessed to Dick on his fourteenth birthday party, but we know from earlier in the story that he's had relationships with at least Zatanna and Rocket since then. By Dick's nineteenth birthday, Dick is open about wanting to be with her, but she says he's "a dog" and not ready for her yet, considering that over the course of the day he'd already had Bette Kane in his apartment, a long kiss with Zatanna, and a cheek kiss from Rocket. So they're both interested in each other and not opposed to public displays of affection, but they're not in an exclusive or serious relationship yet.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Nightwing.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Batgirl's outfit is black, but she's a heroine.
* DistaffCounterpart: To Nightwing.
* FieryRedhead: {{Averted}}. Batgirl is one of the most rational, calm members of the Team.
* FriendsWithBenefits: Is this with [[spoiler: Nightwing as of issue #25 of the tie-in comic.]]
* GreenEyedMonster: Appeared to be jealous in ''Homefront'' when seeing Dick take a picture with Artemis.
* TheLeader: Clear-headed and rational, with enough regard for her teammates to qualify her as this trope. [[spoiler: When Nightwing leaves at the end of Season 2, he tasks her with helping Aqualad lead the team in his stead]].
* LittleMissSnarker: And the main recipient of her snark is ''Nightwing''.
* McNinja: Like Nightwing, as all of her agile flips and stealthy attacks indicate.
* NumberTwo: [[spoiler: To Kaldur at the end of Season 2.]]
* RedHeadedHeroine: Bright red hair and part of the Team.
* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Wonder Girl's Red.
* TheSmartGirl: Although it's unknown if her intelligence matches [[PhotographicMemory that of her comic counterpart]], she's shown to be quite smart and is the source of many of the leads found in season two.
* TookALevelInBadass: Nothing in her season 1 appearances indicate she's anything but a schoolgirl. Come season 2 five years later, she's kicking villain butt as Batgirl.
* {{Troll}}: Towards Nightwing, in a playful manner.

-->Voiced by Masasa Moyo

Once just a student at Miss Martian and Superboy's highschool, Karen Beecher is now both the lab assistant and protégé to the Atom, as well as a full-fledged member of The Team.

* ActionGirl: She kicks lots of butt as the superheroine Bumblebee.
* AnimalMotifs: Her heroine name is "Bumblebee", so it would have to be "bee".
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: See above.
* AscendedExtra: She was first seen in "Targets".
* BadassInDistress: In "War," [[spoiler: she is kidnapped by the Reach and kept in the Warworld.]]
* BattleCouple: With Guardian II.
* BrainyBrunette: A [[ScienceHero Science Heroine]] and prioritizes her college studies, even at the expense of her boyfriend.
* TheCameo: In "Schooled" and "Secrets".
* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: Her powers come from her suit.
* {{Expy}}: She is essentially a black Wasp from MarvelComics Avengers: costume, powers and all.
* {{Flight}}: Part of her powerset.
* GenreSavvy: Realizes that when you offer to go easy on a villain and he starts laughing his ass off, ''that is not a good sign.''
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: With her boyfriend, Mal. Bonus points in that she can make herself much tinier.
* [[IncredibleShrinkingMan Incredible Shrinking Woman]]: Part of her powerset.
* OfficialCouple: With Mal Duncan aka Guardian III.
* SassyBlackWoman: Occasionally.
* [[ScienceHero Science Heroine]]: Like [[TheAtom her mentor.]]
* ShockAndAwe: She can use her suit to fire electric projectiles at her opponents.
* {{Sidekick}}: This version is the protege of ComicBook/TheAtom.
* TronLines: Part of her superhero suit.
* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld: She balances her studies and her superheroing at the expense of spending time with Mal.
* WhatTheHellHero: She calls out Arsenal for nearly taking the entire team with him in his suicide attempt. Arsenal retorts that it worked out in the end (though it's not like he was thinking that far ahead at the time).
* WingedHumanoid: As Bumblebee, as the wings are part of the suit.
* {{Workaholic}}: Which frustrates her boyfriend Malcolm to no end. Somewhat solved after [[TookALevelInBadass he steps out into the field]] [[BattleCouple with her.]]

!Lagoon Boy (La'gaan)
[[quoteright:170:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lagann_1227.png]]

->''"NEPTUNE'S BEARD!"''

-->Voiced by YuriLowenthal

An amphibious student of sorcery from Atlantis, La'gaan, or "Lagoon Boy" is one of the newest additions to the team during season two. Lagoon Boy is always eager to prove himself, [[spoiler: is the new sidekick of Aquaman after the FaceHeelTurn of Kaldur and was in a relationship with Miss Martian.]]

* AmicableExes: [[spoiler:With Miss Martian.]]
* AscendedExtra: Appeared during Aqualad's visit to Atlantis in "Downtime".
* AscendedFanboy: According to Cartoon Network's supplementary material, he's a surface world fanboy, much like his comic counterpart.
** Was also a huge fan of Aqualad... y'know, before he [[spoiler: appeared to]] go over to Team Evil.
** According to tie-comics, one of the reasons he wanted go to the surface was because he wanted to get away from Atlantis, [[FantasticRacism where he was discriminated against because of how he looks]] and, obviously was disappointed.
* BadassInDistress: [[spoiler:For a few episodes before he was rescued.]]
* BoisterousBruiser: He's always excited to kick ass.
* BrokenPedestal: Used to idolize Aqualad.
* DeadpanSnarker: As this line from "Happy New Year" would show:
--> '''La'gaan''' ''(after Jaime takes out a suspected zeta-tube hideout)''''':''' Congratulations, Blue. You took out an actual toolshed.
* DressingAsTheEnemy: In “Summit” he is one of the members who disguises himself as one of the assassins working for The Light and works as TheCavalry for Kaldur and the rest of the heroes while Savage actually believed they were reinforcement for The Light.
* FantasticRacism: Among Atlanteans, there are "purists" who discriminate against those with non-human attributes like fins and gills. If Kaldur, who has hardly-noticeable gills and webbed fingers but is otherwise indistinguishable from a standard human, is given a hard time, you can imagine what life was like for poor La'gaan, who looks only vaguely human-shaped. (WordOfGod is that he is human, however-- ancient Atlanteans used a combination of magic and science to enable themselves to survive underwater. In La'gaan's case, it's more obvious than others.)
* [[FishPeople Fish Person]]: Unlike [[ApparentlyHumanMerfolk Kaldur, Garth, and Tula]], who have more "pure" human blood (the last two are pure-blooded Atlanteans), La'gaan has green skin, red eyes, fins, and gills, but manages to look humanoid.
* FullContactMagic: All his magic is punctuated with grand gestures.
* HeartbrokenBadass: After [[spoiler:M'gann breaks up with him, even referring to him as her "rebound guy"]].
* HeroicResolve: Gets experimented on? Still fights Black Beetle. Gets electrocuted and thrown into a console? Still dodges plasma blasts and carries a very heavy Blue Beetle to the ship. And as soon as he can stand, he goes to give M'gann a hug.
* HiddenDepths: For all his arrogance and brash attitude, he is actually very insecure about his physical appearance, going as far as saying that "a scary monster" is something he sees everyday on a mirror, and genuinely cares for his friends' safety (including Superboy's).
* HoldYourHippogriffs: A chronic offender. His pet name for M'gann is "angel''fish''", he calls friends (and enemies, when he's being vaguely threatening) "''chum''", he says that something easy will be "a piece of ''crab''cake"...
* HotBlooded: He probably wouldn't have been captured in "Depths" if he hadn't gotten angry at Superboy's comment and decided to prove he didn't need help from the "Boy Wonder".
* InterspeciesRomance: With [[spoiler:Miss Martian]].
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: According to Superboy, he's kind of a jerk, but is sweet on M'gann. So far though, the only person he seems to frequently disrespect is Superboy himself.
** JerkassFacade: Another interpretetion of his character, his attitude problem steams off that he, apparently, is insecure about everything about himself: as said above, his physical appearance, because he's a victim of racism; his worth in the team, evident in his eagerness to prove himself, and the stability of his relationship with his [[spoiler: ex]]girlfriend, he's aware of the sexual tension that exist between her and her ex [=Superboy=] and that may be the reason of why he flaunts their relationship in front of [=Superboy=].
* LeeroyJenkins: The reason for his capture in "Depths."
* MagicKnight: Like Aqualad, he combines magic with weapon-based combat training.
* MakeOutKids: With [[spoiler:Miss Martian]].
* MarkedChange: When his tattoos start to glow, Lagoon Boy we'll get bigger and stronger.
* MayDecemberRomance: With [[spoiler:Miss Martian]].
* NamedByTheAdaptation: Was the first incarnation of the character to be named. He's "La'gaan" to justify his codename.
* NonIndicativeName: "Lagoon Boy" doesn't exactly tell you he comes from the sea, does it? As noted above, he was given the name "La'gaan" to semi-justify his codename's non-indicativeness. At a convention appearance, Greg Weisman explained that he just heard the English word "lagoon" and took it.
* OhMyGods: "Neptune's beard!"
* OfficialCouple: With [[spoiler:Miss Martian]].
* PowerTattoo: Though since he completed more of his training, unlike Aqualad, his [[MarkedChange only appear when they're in use]].
* PungeonMaster: Loves his fish puns.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Subverted as he's one of the heroes.
* ShoutOut: Visually, a homage to the Film/CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon.
** LampshadeHanging: Superboy mocks him as "The [[spoiler:Rebound Guy]] from the Black Lagoon."
** Also to [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold Aquaman]] .
* {{Sidekick}}: Of Aquaman in Season 2.
* StevenUlyssesPerhero
* SuperMode: Can increase his size in a pinch, like a toad or puffer fish. This also gives him:
** SuperStrength
** SuperToughness
* TakingTheBullet: He does this for Megan, taking the final blow of Klarion’s conjured giant fire snake in order to protect her. Because he’s MadeOfIron most of the time, he survives this with little difficulty.
* TraumaCongaLine
* WalkingShirtlessScene: His "hero uniform" consists of a pair of black swimming trunks.
* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: For the most part his offensive options on land is to turn into his super mode and hit/tackle/smash stuff. He has some limited water control and Atlantian magic too, but typically defaults to this. In Young Justice Legacy all of his special attacks are this.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Takes out a Krolotean mech with a suplex.

->'''Superboy:''' ''"You game?"''
->''' Beast Boy:''' ''"Me? I'm big game!"''

-->Voiced by Logan Grove

The son of zoologist and former actress Marie Logan, Garfield first encountered the team when they saved him and his mother from a stampede and after an injury receives a [[SuperHumanTransfusion blood transfusion from Miss Martian]]. At age 13, Beast Boy is the one of the youngest members of the Team. He shares a close bond with Miss Martian and treat each other like brother and sister. [[spoiler: She took him in prior to him becoming part of the Team after his mother died.]]

* AdaptationDistillation: In the pre-{{New 52}} comics, Gar turned green and gained the ability to transform specifically into animals when his zoologists parents gave him an untested serum, to save him from death after he was bitten by a genetically altered green monkey. In the show, he simply gains Miss Martian's green skin and shape-shifting powers after a SuperhumanTransfusion from her. It's unclear so far if he is limited to animal forms.
* AdaptationDyeJob: Pre-[[Comicbook/TeenTitans Beast Boy]] Garfield in the comics is a blond, here he is a redhead.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: He's ''green'', thanks to a blood transfusion with Miss Martian.
* AnimalMotifs: Monkeys, given his regular appearance post-timeskip is a hybrid of it and pre-timeskip he [[ABoyAndHisX owned a pet monkey.]]

* BeastMan: His default form is a monkey-like humanoid with fur all over and a tail.
* [[BloodBrothers Blood Siblings]]: With M'gann.
* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler:Queen Bee killed his mother and he found her body in a large body of water. Seeing a similar waterfall in "Earthlings" is enough to revert him into his human--but still green--form.]]
* BusCrash: [[spoiler:Beast Boy's mother is killed by Queen Bee during the time period between seasons.]]

* DisappearedDad: His biological father isn't mentioned.
* DressingAsTheEnemy: In “Summit” he is one of the members who disguises himself as one of the assassins working for The Light and works as TheCavalry for Kaldur and the rest of the heroes while Savage actually believed they were reinforcement for The Light.
* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: His preferred form off-battle (see image). He's also fond of being [[TheBerserker a gorilla]] whenever strength is needed. Naturally, this leads to him fighting gorilla mook [[FunnyAnimal Monsieur Mallah]] in the penultimate episode of season 2.
** He also had one for a pet while living in Qurac with his mother.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Even before his transformation, as his mother ran an animal preserve.
* GreenEyes: Previously blue, they turn green post-blood transfusion, signifying a supernatural change.
* HappilyAdopted: [[spoiler: By M'gann.]]
* HeroicBSOD: In "Earthlings", seeing the sight of a waterfall reverts him to his human form--but still green--as he recalls the sight of [[spoiler:his mother's car crashed into a waterfall.]]

* LittleBitBeastly: His ShapeshifterDefaultForm is humanoid, but has fur all over and a tail.
* LittlestCancerPatient: Becomes collateral damage from one of the team's battles.

* PrimalStance: As seen in his image.

* ShipperOnDeck: For Miss Martian/Superboy.
* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: After receiving a blood transfusion from Miss Martian (who could manipulate hers [[ABNegative to match his rare blood type]]); previously, he had blue eyes. This is the first sign of his transformation into [[Comicbook/TeenTitans Beast Boy]].
* SuperHumanTransfusion: He got one from Miss Martian.

* YouthfulFreckles: Has them, and is the youngest member of the team at thirteen.

[[folder: B20: Robin III]]
!{{Robin}} (Tim Drake)
[[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/robin_2_3508.png]]

-->Voiced by Cameron Bowen

Batman's new partner and sidekick, as well as Nightwing's successor. Unlike Dick Grayson, the new Robin is an extremely serious student of the heroic arts.

* AllAccordingToPlan: Tim came up with ThePlan to take down Clayface in "Happy New Year".
* AnimalMotifs: Birds, like his predecessors.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Again, birds.
* BadassCape: Can be used as a glider, much like Batman's.
* BadassInDistress: In "War," [[spoiler: he is kidnapped by the Reach and kept in the Warworld.]]
* BadassNormal: Like all of Batman's proteges, he doesn't have superpowers and is armed with a host of useful weapons and martial arts training.
--> '''Robin''' (on Ted Kord not having superpowers): I hear those are optional.
* BeneathTheMask: So far the only one to see him sweat has been Dick.
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: Also sports the standard Robin "R".
* TheChainsOfCommanding: Reluctant leader of Gamma Squad in "Happy New Year."
* CoolShades: When he's in civilian wear, in order to protect his secret identity.
** SunglassesAtNight: An important part of disguise. Wears them in "Before the Dawn" when infiltrating the Reach's captives.
* DarkIsNotEvil[=/=]RedIsHeroic: Both red and black make up his Robin suit.
* DressingAsTheEnemy: In “Summit” he is one of the members who disguises himself as one of the assassins working for The Light and works as TheCavalry for Kaldur and the rest of the heroes while Savage actually believed they were reinforcement for The Light.
* ExpressiveMask: His DominoMask shows a wide range of emotions, albeit he's more serious than Nightwing was.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Robin expresses doubt in pretty much all his abilities as a leader to Nightwing, despite Tim proving to be extremely capable during his first mission as field commander in "Happy New Year".
* HookedUpAfterwards: [[spoiler: With Wonder Girl.]]
* GenreSavvy: Knew that Electrified Batarangs probably would not work on Clayface, so he came up with a back-up plan.
* TheLeader: In true [[LegacyCharacter Robin]] fashion, he's being trained to be one. Seems to be a type 2.
* LegacyCharacter: The third Robin and fifth member of the Bat-family.
* TheMagnificent: "The Boy Wonder", like his predecessors.
* McNinja: Flips and kicks, the works.
* OffscreenTeleportation: Kind comes with being a McNinja.
* OutOfFocus: Though it's a different character wearing the mantle, the new Robin isn't as prominent as the first one. This is partly due to plot and partly due to different team mechanics - there's more of them, so they're divided into squads during missons with no set leader or second-in-command for each.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Nightwing warns him not to take any unnecessary risks on his first time as field leader. When faced with the imminent destruction of an underground base and numerous hostages to rescue, Tim decides saving the hostages is a necessary risk. Of course, Tim would have taken a lot of flak for ''not'' taking that risk.
* SimpleStaff: His collapsible bo staff.
** StaticStunGun: Also has a taser function.
* StealthHiBye: It's basically a requirement of the Batfamily.
* TheStoic: Sometimes doesn't speak for ''the entirety of an episode'', as a contrast to Dick.
** NotSoStoic: However, unlike Dick OR Batman, he doesn't have a poker face, so it's easy to tell when he is embarrassed or surprised even when he doesn't say anything.

!WonderGirl (Cassandra Sandsmark)
[[quoteright:210:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wonderg_2993.png]]
->''"Who's Stealther Girl now?"''

-->Voiced by MaeWhitman

Wonder Woman's protege and member of the team during the second season.

* ActionGirl: She's Wonder Woman's protege and a superheroine.
* {{Adorkable}}: Her cluelessness, general clumsiness and idolization of Wonder Woman qualify her for this trope.
* AscendedFangirl: [[InvokedTrope She's called out on it by Wonder Woman of all people]].
-->'''Wonder Woman''': Little less fangirl, little more Wonder Girl.
* BadassInDistress: In "War," [[spoiler: she is kidnapped by the Reach and kept in the Warworld.]]
* TheBigGirl: One of the strongest members of the team.
* BoisterousBruiser[=/=]CuteBruiser: She's very big on talking tough to her opponents, and despite her cute appearance, she can pack a punch.
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: Has a stylized "W" on her shirt.
* TheCameo: A picture of her was shown in ''Young Justice: Legacy''.
* TheChick: Takes over this role from Miss Martian in Season 2. Cassie is genuinely sweet and kind, but as one of the newest recruits, is still excitable and inexperienced.
* CuteClumsyGirl: Rather fangirl over watching Wonder Woman kick butt, then focusing on ''kicking'' as much butt as her mentor.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: When Psimon shows up in "Beneath", she has to be stealthy for once to warn the others that the psychic link is a no-go. She finds M'gann without trouble - *then* gets herself noticed trying to reach Bumblebee.
* DressingAsTheEnemy: In “Summit” she is one of the members who disguises herself as one of the assassins working for The Light and works as TheCavalry for Kaldur and the rest of the heroes while Savage actually believed they were reinforcement for The Light.
* FlyingBrick: Her powers. She can fly as well as pack a serious punch.
* GenkiGirl: Cassie is very cheerful.
* HairDecorations: Wears a headband.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Has blonde hair, a NiceGirl, and has her {{Adorkable}} moments.
* HalfHumanHybrid: In ''Legacy'' it's revealed she shares her comic counterpart's heritage. She's the daughter of Zeus and Helena Sandsmark.
* HookedUpAfterwards: With [[spoiler: Tim Drake]], with a sad twist -- [[spoiler: it was Wally's death and the realization of how short life is that drove her to make the first move towards him.]]
* HumanMomNonhumanDad: Her mother, Helena Sandsmark is a human archaeologist: her father is Zeus, the God of Lightning.
* InSeriesNickname: Called "Cassie" or "Cass" by her friends and her mother.
* KungFuSonicBoom: The first punch we see her throw breaks every window in the room she's in.
* ImmuneToBullets: She's extremely durable.
* NiceGirl: Cassie is good-hearted and caring, if eager to fight.
* NewMeat: She's fairly knew to the team (having been recruited only "a couple of months" before Jaime) and is still rather new to the whole superheroing thing (shown in instances where she falters during important moments or lets her cluelessness get in the way of the mission).
* NotWearingTights: Fights crime in civilian wear.
** CivvieSpandex: A black shirt and red sweat pants.
* RedIsHeroic: Wears her red sweat pants while kicking the butts of baddies.
* RedOniBlueOni: Red to Batgirl's Blue.
* SleevesAreForWimps: She wears a sleeveless black turtleneck as part of her CivvieSpandex.
* SuperStrength: Part of her powerset. She's a FlyingBrick.
* TheWorfEffect: Her very first appearance has her get trashed by Lobo, and literally every onscreen fight she has had against a named enemy includes her snaring them with her lasso and them immediately using said lasso to smash her into the ground.
* YoungerThanSheLooks: She's ''14'' at the start of season 2.

[[folder:B22: Blue Beetle III]]
!BlueBeetle (Jaime Reyes)
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/blue_beetle_2_8506.png]]

-->Voiced by Eric Lopez

When an alien scarab stuck itself to his spine, Jaime Reyes went from an average teenager to a super-powered crime fighter.
[[hardline]]
!Jaime Reyes

* AffirmativeActionLegacy: His predessors were white.
* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler:The entire time the Scarab is on-mode, he's stuck watching the Scarab control his body, unable to stop it.]]
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Blue Beetle.
* BadassInDistress: [[spoiler:Gets abducted during Kaldur's attack on Mount Justice in "Darkest".]]
* BigBadFriend: [[spoiler: He's a malfunctioning Reach ManchurianAgent who dooms the Earth in Impulse's version of the future.]]
* {{Brainwashed}} MeatPuppet: As of "Runaways" and later freed of it in "Intervention".
* BrownEyes: Perfect fit, he's one of the nicest down to-earth guys in the team, he was originally an ordinary teenage human before he found the scarab and maybe this is unintentional but he has the most expressive eyes on the cast.
* ChildhoodFriends: {{Implied}} to be this with Tye Longshadow.
* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: The Beetle Armor gives him his powers.
* ColorCharacter: '''Blue''' Beetle.
* DeadpanSnarker: [[spoiler:Months of being trapped inside his own head]] has left him with nothing better to do than to hone his wit on the Reach Ambassador.
* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler: After being controlled by the Reach for months, he captures the Ambassador, nails the Scientist to a wall (twice), and destroys Black Beetle's Scarab]].
* TheDreaded: Seeing Blue Beetle makes the invading Kroloteans in "Happy New Year" retreat on the spot, as the Scarab has [[ArtifactOfDoom a similar reputation]] as it does in the comics.
* DressingAsTheEnemy: In “Summit” he is one of the members who disguises himself as one of the assassins working for The Light and works as TheCavalry for Kaldur and the rest of the heroes while Savage actually believed they were reinforcement for The Light.
* EvilMakesYouMonstrous: His evil future self is ridiculously buff, even more so than Black Beetle, in contrast to the currently slim Jaime.
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: Became the vanguard of the Reach's conquest of Earth in Impulse's BadFuture, and is put under the control of his Scarab in "The Fix" until restored to normal in "Intervention".]]
* FakeUltimateHero: [[spoiler: Once he's brainwashed, the Reach set him up as one of these.]]
* TheFettered: The Reach are strong enough to fight the Green Lantern Corps to a stalemate. Consider what this means for their Scarabs. Jaime is powerful enough to wipe out every other member of the Team, and most of the Justice League ''at once'', but as a hero he refuses to use the Scarab's more deadly abilities. This is discussed in "True Colors", where it's pointed out that Jaime had previously matched Black Beetle in combat, to which Jaime explained that the Scarab was in control for most of that, and he refuses to risk giving it control again for fear of it controlling him permanently.
** TheUnfettered: Moves toward this in "The Runaways". [[spoiler:It's the first hint that the Scarab's in control.]]
* FullNameBasis: The Scarab constantly calls him "Jaime Reyes" in full.
* FutureMeScaresMe: He doesn't actually meet his future self, but just hearing about how he became [[spoiler:the vanguard of the Reach's conquest of Earth in Impulse's BadFuture]] freaks the hell out of him.
* GratuitousSpanish: He will slip into this sometimes. He is Hispanic and hails from Texas, so it makes sense.
* HeroicHost: [[spoiler:The Scarab wasn't made by Ted Kord, it was made by the villianous alien invaders The Reach.]]
* HenshinHero: Only has his powers when the Scarab activates their PoweredArmor form. Otherwise, he's just a normal teenager with an alien device on his back. Passive powers like his UniversalTranslator still work, though.
* HeroicResolve: Jaime was weakened, sluggish and at less than optimum strength thanks to The Reach's "treatment" in "Before The Dawn" before Bart saved him. He still didn't hesitate for a second to jump into the fray to aid his friends against Black Beetle. And he holds himself pretty darn well, even after he decides to fight on his own instead of letting the Scarab run the battle. In fact, Jaime was the only one who held his own, which says a lot of his resolve.
* HeroicSacrifice: Shows a willingness to make one if [[spoiler:there is no other way to get the Scarab off him.]]
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With both Tye and Bart/Impulse.
* HowDoIShotWeb: The Scarab has a UniversalTranslator function, a fact which Jaime does not realize until his team-mates and then the Scarab point it out to him. Later on, when dealing with a monster created by Intergang, the Scarab didn't bother to tell Jaime it could communicate with the monster because it considered doing so to be a sign of weakness.
* KidWithTheLeash: He often has to refuse the Scarab's rather violent suggestions.
* LegacyCharacter: The third Blue Beetle. Also discussed, as Jaime never got to meet his predecessor Ted Kord.
--> '''Jaime:''' It's such a total rip. Superboy has Superman. Wonder Girl has Wonder Woman. Robin has Batman, Nightwing and Batgirl. You've been in this era, like, what? Five minutes? And you already have three Flash mentors. But me, I never even got the chance to meet the guy who should have been my mentor.
* MeaningfulName: "Jaime" is English and Hebrew for "supplanter"; a supplanter is a person that takes the place of another. Fits perfectly of how the Scarab often tries to take control of Jaime.
* MindControlEyes: When the Scarab takes control, Blue Beetle's pupils [[ProphetEyes vanish]].
* MoralityChain: He's one for the Scarab. Scarab's normally a sociopath who couldn't care less about other living beings and recommends rather extreme tactics, but he'll always defer to Jaime. [[spoiler:Even when he's put on mode and forced to control Jaime, he doesn't kill anyone until forced out of respect for him, and once freed congratulates Jaime.]]
* NewMeat: At the start of season 2, he's the Team's latest recruit and hasn't really fit in with everyone yet. Doesn't stop him from having one of the more versatile powersets and being the focal character of the invasion.
* NiceGuy: Jaime shares double duty with Mal as being one of the nicest guys in the series. Even Guy Gardner (who, per Cassie, doesn't like ''anyone'') likes him! Jaime has shown himself to be fiercely protective of his friends, compassionate with others and even show some mercy towards his enemies. [[spoiler: Until Green Beetle ''fixes'' the scarab. In "Intervention", not only Jaime has returned to his his NiceGuy status when he's freed from the Reach control, his niceness has rubbed off the Scarab as well.]]
* NoOneGetsLeftBehind: Fitting perfectly with his NiceGuy personality.
--> '''Jaime:''' Alpha never leaves a man behind.
* OriginsEpisode: "Before the Dawn" shows how he got the Scarab, and a bit about where it came from. This is expanded again in "Intervention."
* PoirotSpeak: Jaime loves dropping in bits of Spanish when speaking, especially when under stress.
* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Impulse's red.
* RememberWhenYouBlewUpASun: [[spoiler:After the [=WarWorld=] incident, the media and passers-by repeatedly point out that he's the guy that "single-handedly stopped the [=WarWorld=]".]]
* SelfFulfillingProphecy: [[spoiler:He's so desperate to avert his BadFuture that he walks right into the one thing that will set it on course. If he had just listened to everyone else, who could plainly see the Scarab had not and showed no signs of betraying them, he wouldn't have fallen for Green Beetle's trap. Even the Scarab itself says that it prefers being his partner to being a slave of the Reach once it's put back to normal.]]
* ShirtlessScene: He often doesn't wear a shirt beneath the armor, so whenever he takes it off he's shirtless. He's also been seen or ended up shirtless on several occasions outside of that, such as in his room in "Beneath" and in flashbacks in "Before the Dawn". This is largely to show us the Scarab on his back, and isn't played as fanservice.
* ShootTheDog: [[spoiler: Destroying Black Beetle's Scarab, which is heavily implied (albeit not outright stated) to be sentient. Mainly because A) There was no other way to disable Black Beetle and B)Jaime and his Scarab would have both been killed if he hadn't destroyed the other Scarab.]]
* SociopathicHero: An interesting subversion; Jaime is not sociopathic, but the Scarab is, and few are privy to the fact that the Scarab [[ArtificialIntelligence is sentient and has its own personality]], making his conversations with the Scarab appear to outsiders as arguing with himself.
** As of "The Runaways" [[spoiler:the Scarab is in control, and is pretending to be a superhero for the Reach. Yes, the Scarab's version of "hero" is a sociopathic one.]]
* SoftSpokenSadist: [[spoiler: He's disturbingly good at this after being put on mode.]]
--> [[spoiler: '''Blue Beetle''': Don't waste the oxygen, ''hermano''. There's little enough in here as it is.]]
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Gets more on-screen time than almost every other character in season 2.
* TalkingToThemself: How his arguments with the Scarab appear to others. This inevitably draws confusion from his team-mates, who don't seem to know that the Scarab is speaking to him. He later explains this to Superboy, which is also when the viewer actually gets to hear the Scarab's half of the conversation.
--> '''Lagoon Boy:''' Blue's an... ''odd'' little fish, isn't he?
* TheUnmasking: [[spoiler: He publicly reveals himself at the end of "Complications".]]
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: [[spoiler:Once he's put on mode.]]
* VitriolicBestBuds: With the Scarab. [[spoiler: After being freed from Reach control, the Scarab shows that it generally regards Jaime as an equal, if not outright cares for him.]]
* WhiteSheep: Is the only Scarab host who doesn't serve The Reach. [[spoiler:Until Green Beetle "fixes" him, that is. Then in "Intervention", both him and Green are white sheep.]]
* YouShallNotPass: His battle with Black Beetle is part this, part WeNeedADistraction.

!The Scarab

* AdaptiveArmor: Changing shape and rehealing to fit the situation.
* TheAllSolvingHammer: The Scarab's tactic for everything is "plasma cannon".
* ArtificialIntelligence: The Scarab, who is fully sentient and even gets into arguments with its host.
* {{Badass}}: More so than Jaime, in fact, mainly because it has no problem using lethal or even excessive force to resolve any situation. As shown in "Darkest", the Scarab can make short work of multiple enemies with little difficulty. [[spoiler:Then, in "Runaways", it beats Red Volcano one-on-one, a foe the entire team could not defeat last season.]]
* BadassInDistress: [[spoiler:Gets abducted during Kaldur's attack on Mount Justice in "Darkest".]]
* BerserkButton: The Scarab lacks empathy in general, but it particularly dislikes Impulse. It's usually okay with Blue's teammates and not too crazy to just randomly kill someone, but when it's Impulse, him simply asking Blue to hang out with him has the Scarab advising Jaime to incinerate him.
--> '''Scarab''': The Impulse is trouble. Destroy him!
--> '''Scarab''': This is good. Now kill the Impulse so he cannot change his mind.
* ClingyCostume: The Scarab is permanently fused to Jaime's spine. If it's ever successfully removed, he'll die. Moreover, the Scarab actively defends against attempts to remove it, even on a cellular level.
* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: It ''is'' the clothes.
* TheDreaded: Seeing Blue Beetle makes the invading Kroloteans in "Happy New Year" retreat on the spot, as the Scarab has [[ArtifactOfDoom a similar reputation]] as it does in the comics.
* EmpathicWeapon: Responds to Jamie's feelings but this is usually annoyance at the 'no plasma cannon' rule.
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: Became the vanguard of the Reach's conquest of Earth in Impulse's BadFuture.]]
* GoodAllAlong: [[spoiler:When freed of the Reach's control, the Scarab reveals it much prefers its partnership with Jamie to being a slave of the Reach.]]
* HaveYouTriedRebooting: [[spoiler:Rebooting the Scarab would probably fix its memory issues. It would also give the Scarab full control and turn Jaime into a weapon for the Reach.]]
* HeKnowsTooMuch: Though lacking the ability to act on it, the Scarab often recommends that Jaime eliminate those that are aware of their true nature or are otherwise a security risk. He suggested killing Tye Longshadow's grandfather simply because the old man ''vaguely hinted'' about the Scarab being sentient, and later suggested killing Impulse to make sure he wouldn't reveal anything about them, after he had already agreed not to. Strangely, it did not react to Jaime sharing their true nature with Superboy.
* HeroicComedicSociopath[=/=]SociopathicHero: The Scarab, whose total lack of empathy is played both for BlackComedy and drama.
** When Black Manta II threatens to blow up Mount Justice to force Blue Beetle's compliance in "Darkest", the Scarab ignores the safety of everyone inside the base and takes complete control to prevent Jaime's capture, confident that the suit could withstand the blast even if the villain weren't bluffing.
** When put on mode, he retains the "sociopath" but not the "hero."
* ImaginationBasedSuperpower: The Scarab is capable of morphing into nearly anything Jaime can imagine.
* TheMole: [[spoiler: Averted. The Reach built the Scarab to be one, but it lost all its memories prior to fusing with Jaime. Played straight when Green Beetle fixes the Scarab and then cut off again in "Intervention".]]
* MurderIsTheBestSolution: The Scarab has no empathy, and thus no problem suggesting Jaime kill or cripple targets.
--> '''Jaime:''' No, it would ''not'' have been preferable to vaporize him back at the diner!
* MySensorsIndicateYouWantToTapThat: Issue #21 of the tie-in comic has the Scarab observe that Wonder Girl triggers "bio-chemical changes" to Jaime's system. However, he never shows any attraction to her in the series.
* OriginsEpisode: "Before the Dawn" shows how the Scarab found its way to Jaime, and a bit about where it came from.
* PhlebotinumRebel: The Scarab was damaged and lost all its memories prior to fusing with Jaime. Now it fights the very empire it was built to serve.
** [[spoiler:There are subtle hints of this in "Intervention". Several times the Ambassabor and the Scientist point out that the Scarab, which is supposed to be on-mode and obeying them, is making inexcusable tactical errors and unnecessary delays for no clear reason. The Scarab doesn't admit to doing this intentionally, but it does say that it prefers being free to working for the Reach.]]
* PuppeteerParasite: Its original function.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: The armor has red light slits, which is appropriate for [[spoiler: evil alien parasite tech.]]
* RedOniBlueOni: Blue to Impulse's red.
* SitcomArchNemesis: It has yet to be explained why the Scarab dislikes Impulse.
* SpannerInTheWorks: In "Darkest", the Scarab screws up Black Manta II's bluff with the fake deadman switch, [[spoiler:forcing him to actually blow up Mount Justice to maintain his cover.]]
* SpellMyNameWithAThe: Refers to every character as "The ( name)", such as "The Impulse", "The Holling Longshadow," "The Kid Flash", and so on. Probably a result of translation convention or limited programming, as the Reach are all referred to by titles like the Ambassador, the Scientist, etc.
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: The Scarab, who lacks any of Jaime's [[TheUnfettered self-imposed limitations]] and can take full control of their body if necessary.
* SwissArmyWeapon: Is one. Justified as it's alien tech.
** ArmCannon
** ArtificialGill
** BatteringRam
** BladeBelowTheShoulder
** {{BFG}}: Can turn his entire torso into a cannon.
*** ChestBlaster
** DropTheHammer
** {{Energy Weapon}}s
** EverythingSensor
** InstantArmor[=/=]PoweredArmor
** JetPack
** LivingLieDetector
** MasterOfUnlocking
** MultiArmedAndDangerous
** NailEm: Though this meant to be used to restrain people, not kill them. The Scarab complains that firing through bone would make them more effective.
** PlugNPlayTechnology: The Scarab can interface with a wide range of devices. The only exception to date is the tech of the New Gods, which instead has a BrownNote effect on it.
--->'''Scarab:''' Not compatible!
** RazorWings
** SonicStunner
** ShockAndAwe
** ThisIsADrill
** UniversalTranslator: Played for laughs when he has to speak to an alien, then has to remember to switch back to English when translating for his team-mates.
** XRayVision
* SymbioticPossession: They may not be friends, but Jaime and the Scarab have this sort of relationship. The Scarab only takes over as a last resort, and lets Jaime call the shots otherwise. It also refers to them in the plural personal (we), rather than the singular personal (I) like other Scarabs. [[spoiler: This ends when it's rebooted in "The Fix", though magic is used to return things to normal in "Intervention".]]
* TalkingToThemself: How his arguments with Jaime appear to others. This inevitably draws confusion from his team-mates, who don't seem to know that the Scarab is speaking to him. He later explains this to Superboy, which is also when the viewer actually gets to hear the Scarab's half of the conversation.
--> '''Lagoon Boy:''' Blue's an... ''odd'' little fish, isn't he?
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill:
** When faced with a locked door, Jaime used a lockpick. The Scarab felt a plasma cannon would have been the preferable choice, even though there may have been a person behind it.
** When faced with an invasion of the cave, the Scarab suggested that Jaime simply use a wide spread on the plasma cannon to fry ''everything'', dismissing their disabled teammates as expendable.
* TriggerHappy: The Scarab needs little provocation to whip out the plasma cannon.
* VoicesAreMental: Played with. While the Scarab uses Jaime's own voice when communicating telepathically, it speaks in flat, unaccented English.

!Mal Duncan/Guardian III

-->Voiced by Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson

Originally one of Superboy and M'gann's classmates at Happy Harbor High, Mal Duncan is both Karen's boyfriend and the [[MissionControl tactical coordinator]] for the team during season 2. During a battle with Despero, he adopts the identity of the Guardian as a distraction. He later joined the team as a field operative.

* AffirmativeActionLegacy: The two previous Guardians were white.
* AscendedExtra: ''Twice.'' In season two, he ascends from just being a friend of Conner's and Megan's to the team's MissionControl. He ascends again in "Cornered," from MissionControl and "Bumblebee's neglected boyfriend" to being Guardian, a hero in his own right.
* AscendedFanboy: He's shown wearing a Superman shirt the first time we meet him, and in "Secrets" even makes his own custom Superman Halloween costume. [[note]]which also happens to look exactly like [[MythologyGag Superboy's old get-up in the comics]][[/note]]
* BadassBaritone: Has a deep voice and becomes a BadassNormal.
* BadassInDistress: In "War," [[spoiler: he is kidnapped by the Reach and kept in the Warworld.]]
* BadassNormal: Thanks to Black Canary's training he can help out in the field.
* BattleCouple: With Bumblebee after becoming Guardian III.
* TheCameo: In "Schooled" and "Secrets".
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: He [[spoiler:intentionally distracts Despero with his FakeUltimateHero routine despite knowing that a single punch could kill him]] to give his other teammates time to rally and take him down.
* DoggedNiceGuy: Mal getting shot down when trying to tear Karen away from her work as [[TheAtom Dr. Ray Palmer's]] lab assistant.
* FakeUltimateHero: Uses this as a means to distract Despero. It worked and he would become a field operative of the team as the new Guardian.
* GentleGiant: He's built like a line backer but is a great boyfriend.
* HeroicBuild: When he becomes Guardian II.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: With his girlfriend, Karen.
* InSeriesNickname: His full name is actually "Malcolm", but he's always called, "Mal".
* LegacyCharacter: The original Guardian was Roy Harper's great-grandfather, Jim Harper, and the second was a clone of Roy also named Jim Harper who believed himself to be Roy's uncle and the original Guardian's grandson.
* MilkingTheGiantCow: When hamming it up in an attempt to intimidate Despero.
* MissionControl: He acts as this for the Team, coordinating the different squads while on a mission.
* NiceGuy: Along with Jaime he's the nicest guy on the Team.
* NonActionGuy: Defied in "Cornered" where he takes the guise of the Guardian against Despero, using Black Canary's training to distract Despero long enough until a plan could be formulated.
* OfficialCouple: With Karen Beecher AKA Bumblebee.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: Tall, dark-skinned and dark-haired, and attractive.
* TookALevelInKindness: In his brief appearences in the first season he comes across as a somewhat arrogant JerkJock, but in the five year time skip, he's become a very nice guy.
* WillingChanneler: Allowed himself to be possessed by Zatanna to beat Despero.

[[folder:B23: Impulse]]
!Impulse[[spoiler:/Kid Flash II]] (Bart Allen)
->''"Impulse? That's so crash!"''

-->Voiced by Creator/JasonMarsden

Barry Allen's grandson from 40 years in the future, also armed with super-speed. Bart travels back in time to meet his grandfather in the present [[spoiler:and prevent his own BadFuture from happening.]] He's incredibly fast talking, playful and witty- or at least pretends to be. He eventually joins the team as one of its youngest members.
[[hardline]]
* AdaptationDistillation: Bart's origin in the comics has him being born in the 30th century, due to his grandmother Iris being time-displaced and giving birth to Bart's father and aunt there. Bart's characterization in the show also combines him as Impulse of ''Comicbook/YoungJustice'' with him as the more serious Kid Flash of the ''Comicbook/TeenTitans''.
* AppropriatedAppellation: Gets his name from an offhand comment by Beast Boy.
-->'''Gar:''' Well, I think we found our "unknown energy impulse".
-->'''Bart:''' "Impulse"? That's so crash! Catchy, dramatic, and one word!
* BadassInDistress: [[spoiler:Gets abducted during Kaldur's attack on Mount Justice in "Darkest".]] In "War," [[spoiler: he is kidnapped by the Reach and kept in the Warworld.]]
* BeneathTheMask: [[spoiler:His silly personality and explanation for coming back in time is just a front, to avoid damaging the timeline [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong more than he has to]].]]
-->'''Bart''': Better get into character.
* BigEater: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], since his faster metabolism requires it.
* {{Catchphrase}}: "That's so crash," "feeling the mode," and variations thereof.
* ChildProdigy: Nearly as fast as Barry while being intelligent like Wally.
* DeadGuyJunior: Played with. [[spoiler: In his original timeline, Bart was named after his deceased grandfather, but after alternating the original timeline, he becomes an inversion.]]
* DisasterScavengers:
-->'''Impulse:''' Hey, hey, hey, [[spoiler: [[AfterTheEnd where I come from]],]] it's not stealing, it's scavenger rights.
* DitzyGenius: Manages to build a time machine despite being a scatter brain. [[spoiler: Of course, the "scatter brain" portion is just an act.]]
* DressingAsTheEnemy: In “Summit” he is one of the members who disguises himself as one of the assassins working for The Light and works as TheCavalry for Kaldur and the rest of the team while Savage actually believed they were reinforcement for The Light.
* ElectricSlide: He's more than fast enough to run along power lines and grappling cords.
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: He's a time traveler, and as such has minor trouble readjusting to the present.
* FragileSpeedster: He's as fast as the Flash himself, but has almost no physical power to back it up, especially against foes with SuperStrength like the Terror Twins.
** He, himself, acknowledges this fact in True Colors when he tells Blue Beetle that he's fast, not strong.
* FutureSlang: "Crash" is good, "Mode" is bad and "Meat" is pushover. [[spoiler:It later turns out to be an offshoot of The Reach's, as The Reach have taken over Earth in Impulse's BadFuture: "meat" seems to be a general insult. Also adapted are some of the Reach's technical terms; "on mode" is their term for how their subjects behave, and when their systems malfunction, they "crash".]]
* TheGadfly: Not as much as Dick Grayson in his early days, but it's there.
** Turns on all the showers in Mount Justice for fun.
** Taunts Wally in minor ways about not being nearly as fast as him or Barry.
** Steals food from inside of Blue Beetle's personal locker.
** Shows up at both his grandfather Flash and his friend Blue Beetle's houses in full costume.
* GenreSavvy: Is well aware of the usual ways people try to take speedsters out (marbles, ice on floor, etc) Also, he's smart enough to avert SelfFulfillingProphecy by befriending Blue Beetle and telling him what's going on rather than trying to kill him. However, he also fails on the same point by not accounting for the fact that keeping Jaime's future secret (between them) might end up causing it. He also didn't look very reassured by the Scarab going silent.
** GenreBlind: He's done several actions that seem intelligent at face value, but are foolish upon actually thinking about them. In "Darkest," he brought unfamiliar technology to Mount Justice for analysis, not considering its capabilities beforehand, and in "True Colors," he eats Reach-enhanced food under the pretense of maintaining cover, despite not knowing what the additives actually do.
* GratuitousSpanish: He got it from Jaime. It's mostly mispronounced.
* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:Went on what he knew would be a one way trip back in time to save his grandfather and prevent a BadFuture where Earth is a nuclear wasteland from happening.]]
* IntangibleMan: Can phase through handcuffs and other objects by vibrating his molecules fast enough.
* {{Keet}}: [[spoiler:Invoked as part of his disguise.]]
** That said, even if his real personality is more serious, consider his plan to avert the apocalypse: become [=BFFs=] with the guy who caused it.
* IAmNotLeftHanded: When going up against a new opponent, Impulse often holds off on using his ability to vibrate through matter until he finds an opportune moment to escape with it.
* InSeriesNickname: His full name is actually "Bartholomew". But, he goes by "Bart" for short.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Jaime/Blue Beetle III.
* KidFromTheFuture: Bart gives Iris and Barry the shock of their lives when he lets slip that not only is Iris pregnant, a fact Iris only learned that morning, but that they're having ''twins'': Don and Dawn.
-->'''Bart:''' Hi Dad, Hi Aunt Dawn.
* KidHero: He's only ''thirteen''.
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: Was ecstatic to meet his grandparents, especially Barry. It's downplayed with other leaguers.
** He was also glad to see Jay and Joan Garrick and considers them his great-grandparents. When Wally arrives, he cheerfully calls him "First cousin once removed".
* LegacyCharacter: The fourth member of the Flash family. [[spoiler:Becomes Kid Flash II after Wally's HeroicSacrifice.]]
* MoralityChain: Takes it upon himself to become [[spoiler:Jaime's, in an attempt to avert the Reach Apocalypse]].
* MotorMouth: It's almost as fast as his feet. Also played for laughs when he and Flash start using their SuperSpeed to talk to each other faster than ''anyone'' else can understand.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: He acts clueless, lighthearted and cheerful, but is concealing darker knowledge.
* PluckyComicRelief: He acts like this in season 2, [[DarkerAndEdgier which needed it]].
* PungeonMaster: It [[IncrediblyLamePun runs]] in the family, too.
-->'''Impulse:''' Back in a [[IncrediblyLamePun flash]]! ...see what I did there?
* RedIsHeroic: Has red stripes in his "Impulse" costume and [[spoiler: a combination of red and yellow as Kid Flash II.]]
* RedOniBlueOni: Red to Blue Beetle's blue.
* ScienceHero: It doesn't come up much in the present, but he did manage to build a time machine.
* SecretKeeper: Appears to know a majority of the League and the Team's secret identities, as apparently these are known in the future. Also lampshaded by him.
-->'''Bart:''' Oops, spoilers.
* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: [[spoiler:Ultimately succeeds.]]
* StepfordSmiler: Type A. Acts silly and cheerful, but is in fact a very serious and driven person.
* SuperReflexes: Because he has super speed, he can react very quickly.
* SuperSpeed: As part of his HeroicLineage as a member of the Flash family.
* TakingUpTheMantle: Wally bequeaths the Kid Flash identity to Bart after reaffirming that he plans to stay in retirement. [[spoiler: And then he dies in the line of duty, turning it into a TakeUpMySword.]]
* TeenGenius: To reiterate: ''built a time machine''.
* TimeStandsStill: From his point of view when his powers are active during "Before the Dawn".
* TrappedInThePast: He's a tourist with a broken rental car. [[spoiler: In reality, he knew the time machine [[ItOnlyWorksOnce would only work once]], but didn't care given he wants to stop the BadFuture he came from at all costs.]]

[[folder:B25: Arsenal]]
!Arsenal / Speedy [[spoiler:(Roy Harper)]]
->''"We were partners, friends!"''

-->Voiced by Creator/CrispinFreeman

Arsenal is a former sidekick of Green Arrow who was kidnapped by The Light years ago and lost one of his arms in the process. Following his rescue in season 2, he acquires a robotic arm based on [=LexCorp=] technology and returns to hero work to get revenge on the people who ruined his life. [[spoiler:He is also the original Roy Harper kidnapped 3 years before the beginning of Season 1, and it was his own Cadmus-made clone, Red Arrow, who rescued him.]]
[[hardline]]
* TheAloner: [[spoiler: Decides to go solo in the end.]]
* AntiHero: Tries to assassinate Lex Luthor for ruining his life when he first wakes up. "True Colors" demonstrates that he'd gladly go against orders and ''plant a bomb'' during a covert operation for no reason other than to give Luthor grief.
* AppropriatedAppellation: Picks up his name when Luthor compliments him during the hero's assassination attempt.
-->'''Lex Luthor:''' Quite the arsenal you've brought tonight, [[spoiler:Mr. Harper.]]\\
'''Arsenal:''' You haven't seen the half of it, Luthor!\\
'''Lex Luthor:''' Oh, I wasn't talking about the weaponry. I myself never go armed. No, the greatest arsenal any man can bring to the party consists of the resources of his own mind: his intelligence, his stratagems, his force of will. And you, my young friend, have all of those in spades.
* AnArmAndALeg: Lost his right arm after being captured by The Light.
* ArmCannon: A gift from Lex Luthor.
** FrickinLaserBeams: It has a wrist-mounted laser that actually proved capable of damaging Black Beetle's armor. Lex really didn't spare any expense.
* ArtificialLimbs: Luthor gives him an artificial ArmCannon to replace his missing limb, partly as a way of dissuading Arsenal from future assassination attempts.
* {{Badass}}
** BadassInDistress: Was a hostage of the Light for nearly a decade.
** BadassNormal: Has no superpowers when he first wakes up, is missing an arm, and still beats Luthor's personal {{cyborg}} bodyguard in a fight.
*** EmpoweredBadassNormal: After getting a {{cyborg}} ArmCannon of his own.
** HandicappedBadass: Comments how, with only one arm, it's harder for him to get on his pants than to ''use a rocket launcher.''
* CloningBlues: [[spoiler: Inverted. He spent years of his life as a HumanPopsicle while his clone, Red Arrow, unwittingly took his place. Despite that, he blames Luthor for imprisoning him and Green Arrow for giving up on him, while he's grateful for Red Arrow's tireless search.]]
* CombatPragmatist[=/=]TheStrategist: One of the most impressive cases on the show. He's able to [[spoiler:outmaneuver [[{{Chessmaster}} Lex Luthor]], his bodyguard and several mooks in his assassination attempt of the former with only one arm (remember, his training and specialty is ranged combat, and it's his right arm missing, implied to be his dominant arm).]] More impressively, [[spoiler:he [[IncrediblyLamePun single-handedly]] co-ordinates a piercing attack on the Reach inside the [=WarWorld=] mostly on the fly, first coming up with a combat strategy for the Runaways that actually holds out against [[ImplacableMan Black Beetle]]. Then, before releasing his allies from captivity, he goes straight for Mongul's pod first, knowing he would fight Black Beetle instead of any of the heroes, providing a cover/distraction for them. Among all that chaos, he also attempted to retrieve the [=WarWorld=] key (unfortunately, Deathstroke got to it first). He came up with all of this while on the run and facing his worst fears.]] Not too shabby for a guy who is [[spoiler:mentally in his mid-teens]].
* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: According to WordOfGod and [[AllThereInTheManual merchandise]], his parents died before he was 15.
* DeadpanSnarker
-->'''Arsenal''': "Red Arrow". Wow, that's an original name.
* DecompositeCharacter: He and Red Arrow each borrow different elements from the original comic book Speedy.
** To explain, the comic book Speedy took the name Arsenal before switching to Red Arrow. However, this show's version of Arsenal is based off the comic book's Red Arrow during the period where he became an AntiHero.
* DistressedDude: See BadassInDistress.
* ExpressiveMask: Again, an example of an expressive DominoMask.
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Lost 8 years of his life, during which "The sidekicks formed their own team, aliens invaded the Earth, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and... Ollie grew that dopey goatee?]]".
* FieryRedhead: The angrier, grumpier kind.
* HumanPopsicle: Due to being cryogenically frozen.
* ImportantHaircut: Gives himself a buzz cut as part of [[ThatManIsDead abandoning his past as Speedy]].
* InterruptedSuicide: [[spoiler: When Blue Beetle reveals he's been brainwashed into an agent of the Reach, Roy is so horrified at the idea of being taken prisoner again he opens an airlock and almost gets sucked into outer space. When that doesn't work, he flees the battle rather than try to take on Beetle.]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: Risking a covert mission to make someone's life miserable, also putting the lives of his teammates in jeopardy? Check. Pull an [[spoiler: InterruptedSuicide, which also risked the lives of the Team, all because HE doesn't want to get captured?]] Check. [[spoiler: After being rightfully called out for the former, his reason is that he wasn't going to risked being "put on ice" again, and sarcastically scolds the one in the right (Bumblebee) that she should be thanking him, and he doesn't apologize?]] Double check.
* {{Jerkass}}: So you can at least see where [[spoiler:his clone]] got it from.
* LeeroyJenkins: On a perfectly planned covert ops mission, Arsenal decides to blow up the lab they came to investigate, for no other reason than to spite Luthor. This not only manages to blow their cover and nearly get them killed, but does nothing more than superficial damage. [[SarcasmMode Great job.]]
** Gets him booted off the Team in "The Hunt" after Nightwing learns about the airlock fiasco.
* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler: "Roy" is English and Gaelic for "red" which matches his [[RedIsHeroic choice in clothing when it comes to his role as a hero.]]]].
* NotSoDifferent: From The Runaways. They were all captured and given their current powers (weapon arm) by a villain and don't mesh well with either side of the conflict.
* OlderThanHeLooks: Has the body and the psyche of a 15-year-old, because he was put on ice at that age for 8 years, but he should actually be 23.
* PetTheDog: [[spoiler:Roy doesn't once blame his clone, Roy Harper II, for "replacing" him.]]
* RageAgainstTheMentor: Blames Green Arrow for giving up the search for him.
-->'''Arsenal:''' We were partners, friends! [...] How could you leave me in [[BigBad Luthor's]] hands for ''8 years''? And how did I not see how ''useless'' you are? GetOut. ''[[GetOut GET OUT]]!''
* RedHeadedHero: Red hair, although he's a bit more antiheroic than the other examples in the series.
* RedIsHeroic: His superhero suit is red.
* RevengeBeforeReason: Blows up a covert ops mission just to make Luthor miserable.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Goes on one against Lex Luthor and the Light almost immediately after waking up.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:Leaves the Team before Nightwing can fire him due to his reckless actions and joins The Runaways.]]
* SealedGoodInACan: [[spoiler:Captured by the Light to create a clone of him in order to further their plans. And for eight years, he has been in cased in cryogenic storage.]]
* ShellShockedVeteran: He would literally rather die than be captured.
-->"''You'll never pod me again! '''Never!'''''"
* {{Sidekick}}: Unlike Red Arrow, he doesn't take offense to the term.
* SixthRanger: [[spoiler:To the Runaways. He joins them after he is kicked off the team.]]
** TheLancer: [[spoiler:He sets the biggest contrast with Virgil because he's a hothead and a veteran and none too heroic.]]
* SpannerInTheWorks: The events of "The Hunt" would have gone very differently if [[spoiler:Arsenal hadn't attempted to space himself in "War". Namely, the Team would still be in stasis and him with them, and the Runaways would be dead or at least still under Luthor.]]
* SuperheroPackingHeat: That arm cannon is really useful in a fight.
* ThatManIsDead: "Speedy died 8 years ago. But I kinda like the sound of Arsenal."
* ThrowDownTheBomblet: Favors grenades and other handheld explosives.
* TookALevelInJerkass: When Bumblebee [[WhatTheHellHero rightfully calls him out for his actions]] at one point, Arsenal tells her that[[ItsAllAboutMe after all he went through he wasn't going to risk being captured again]]. Then he [[{{Jerkass}} gripes on her about not giving him some thanks for saving her]]. Which probably wouldn't have happened if he hadn't pulled [[spoiler:attempted suicide]] in the first place!
* TraumaCongaLine: [[BadassInDistress Was kidnapped]], [[AnArmAndALeg deprived of his right arm]], [[HumanPopsicle frozen for 8 years]], [[spoiler:[[CloningBlues replaced by a clone]]]], [[AdultsAreUseless left for dead by his mentor]], [[spoiler:then kicked off the team]].
* TrickArrow: To be expected of a former Green Arrow protege.
* WalkingSpoiler: The specifics of his backstory and even his ''real name'' give away some rather large twists from Season 1.
* WildCard: He frequently goes against the team and doing actions that benefits ''him'' before others.
* WillNotBeAVictim: "No one's putting me on ice again... ''ever''."
** The fear of that is so overpowering that he nearly [[spoiler:spaces the entire team when Blue Beetle turns on them rather than be taken alive. When that fails, he makes a fast escape into the [=WarWorld=]]].

* TheChainsOfCommanding: Reluctant leader of Gamma Squad due to...
* CoolShades: When he's in civilian wear.
** SunglassesAtNight: An important part of disguise.

** NotSoStoic: However, unlike Dick OR Batman, he doesn't have a poker face, so it's easy to tell when he is embarrassed or surprised even when he doesn't say anything.

* OriginsEpisode: "Before the Dawn" shows how he got the Scarab, and a bit about where it came from.

* ExiledFromContinuity: Rocket and Icon have been prevented from appearing in the tie-in comics.

* TheChick: Takes over this role from Miss Martian in Season 2. Cassie is genuinely sweet and kind.

* ExiledFromContinuity: Until the legal issues were worked out for season 2 and beyond.

* NoOneGetsLeftBehind: Fitting perfectly with his NiceGuy personality

** PlugNPlayTechnology: The Scarab can interface with a wide range of devices. The only exception to date is Apokoliptian tech, which instead has a BrownNote effect on it.

* SingleTargetSexuality: Showed hardly any interest in other girls, with the exception of one: M'gann M'orrz

* SuperpowerLottery

** SuperStrength
** SuperToughness

* FingerlessGloves: Wears them.

** TookALevelInJerkass: In "Insecurity" is especially nasty to Artemis, Superboy and Miss Martian. [[spoiler:This turned out to have been part of his subconscious Cadmus programming to get suspicion off him as the true mole while causing discord within the team.]]
*** TookALevelInKindness: After recovering the original Speedy in Season 2 there is almost nothing of the old angry and resentful Roy, even giving Ollie a YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre speech
