8 | !The Team |
9 | [[folder:Machina]] |
10 | !!Jacob Morgan a.k.a. Machina |
11 | * BarbieDollAnatomy: Which doesn't bother him really much until his RelationshipUpgrade with Starfire. |
12 | * BrainUploading: The nanite swarm he was transformed into is held together by his "consciousness emulation". He angsts a bit over it since he wonders if he's still himself or a mere copy of the original "Jacob Morgan". |
13 | * ButterFace: He has less difficulty for giving himself a six-pack than shaping his face. |
14 | * ElementalEmbodiment: [[spoiler:It's hinted he's slowly becoming this for the emerging Kingdom of Machines - the Metal. Or, as it’s known here, The Silver.]] |
15 | * ElementalPowers: A {{Technopath}} with a touch of [[ShockAndAwe electricity-control]]. |
16 | * {{Foil}}: |
17 | ** Since he underwent an UnwillingRoboticisation and joined a teenaged superheroic team afterwards, he's this for Cyborg from ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003''. |
18 | ** Can also be considered as a robotic take on ComicBook/SwampThing. [[spoiler:And it's hinted Jacob will grow his equal as an ElementalEmbodiment.]] |
19 | * TheGadfly: When he's not self-deprecating, he enjoys trolling his teammates. |
20 | * GadgeteerGenius: With his powers over technology, he's able to give new and improved gear to the Team. |
21 | * HeroicSelfDeprecation: Quite snarky towards himself. Starfire doesn't like it. |
22 | * ItGetsEasier: The superhero lifestyle slowly hardens him until he casually declares he wouldn't have a problem with a perp dying on him. To be fair, it ''was'' [[MadScientist Ivo]], but still. |
23 | * TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: He almost worships the Justice League, especially [[TheParagon Superman]]. |
24 | * MysticalWhiteHair: When he tried to imitate hair structure, he realised it was easier to mimick diamond strands, so he got this. |
25 | * NoSell: Total immunity to telepaths - when they try to read his mind, they stumble upon his nanites' chittering and wind up with a headache. |
26 | * OccultBlueEyes: After he discovered the "Algorithm", he gained these. When looking closer, there's fractal designs in the irises. |
27 | * OlderThanHeLooks: He hangs out with teens and his body is very much non-indicative, but he's actually twenty-eight years old. |
28 | * PopCulturedBadass: He apparently nurses a fondness for the sci-fi genre. Just look at his nicknames for the machine spirits he meets. |
29 | * ProgressivelyPrettier: The more he gains control over his abilities, the more he can remodel his body. Case in point: his original form looked like a xenomorph instead of a human. |
30 | * ProHumanTranshuman: He still wants to help and protect humanity in spite of not technically being one of them anymore. |
31 | * RunningGag: Tends to name machines he comes into contact with (living ones, like the New Genesphere or M'gann's ship, not the coffee maker or the toaster) after shout-outs. M'gann's ship he names after Moya from Farscape, and the New Genesphere becomes Rommie after a living ship from the series Andromeda. |
32 | * ShapeshifterWeapon: His nanites are able to reproduce every weapon they consumed. |
33 | * SpannerInTheWorks: While this technically applies to the entire Team/[[spoiler:Titans]], Machina especially has dramatically interfered with the plans of the Light and other parties. To recap: |
34 | ** He freed Starfire from imprisonment by the Psions and brought her to Earth, expanding the Team’s roster of members. |
35 | ** Serling used his nanomachines as a basis for the Fog’s programming. [[spoiler:Eventually leading it to developing the Algorithm and later helping form the Silver.]] |
36 | ** [[spoiler:He used the attempts of the Light to expose the Team and discredit the Justice League to instead jumpstart a team of his very own: the Titans. He even bought Mount Justice to keep as their headquarters.]] |
37 | ** Machina has worked with Batman to prepare for any number of threats that may pop up using his meta-knowledge. |
38 | * TeamDad: Batman actually put him on the Team because he hoped Machina would be a mature, stabilizing influence on the younger sidekicks. It seemed to have worked quite well. |
39 | * TechnicallyNakedShapeshifter: Because normal clothes would be shredded, and shapeshifting ones he would constantly worry about eating them. |
40 | * TwoFirstNames: In the purest comics tradition, yet he didn't originate from Marvel or [=DC=]. |
41 | * XenomorphXerox: His base shape after being converted into nanites. He mainly uses it for stealth. |
42 | [[/folder]] |
43 | [[folder:Starfire]] |
44 | !!Koriand'r of Tamaran a.k.a. Starfire |
45 | * ActionGirl: Oh, ''yes''. |
46 | * AdaptationalModesty: Her costume is more in line with her ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'' depiction than her swimsuit from The80s - [[MythologyGag her actual bathing suit here]]. |
47 | * AmbiguouslyBi: Tamaran was very much a free-love culture, so Kori isn't afraid to be very cuddly towards males and females. And there's also the matter of her kissing both Superboy and Miss Martian - to learn more languages, but ''still''. |
48 | * AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: The warrior princess was picked to lead the Team after a popular vote. |
49 | * CordonBleughChef: Her cooking is... interesting. In the Chinese meaning. |
50 | * DoesNotLikeSpam: Tofu reminds her of the gruel she was forced to eat when she still was a Citadelan prisoner. |
51 | * FieryRedhead: A literal case when she flies. More seriously, she's very much in touch with her emotions and isn't afraid to show it. |
52 | * FlamingHair: The energy she absorbs from the sun migrates towards her scalp and uses her hair as exhaust conduit, which leaves a plasma trail behind her. |
53 | * FlyingFirepower: The Light outright calls her one. |
54 | * GirlyBruiser: Quite physical when she goes to town with the enemy, her personality has the traditionally feminine qualities of compassion and openess. |
55 | * GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: Orange, actually. Still a babe. |
56 | * InnocentFanserviceGirl: She genuinely doesn't get why humans bother so much with nudity. [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl On the other side, she's aware of her great beauty and isn't afraid to use it]]. |
57 | * JabbaTableManners: Some women can eat anything with utter class and elegance. Kori is ''not'' one of these. |
58 | * NiceGal: Chipper, cuddly and sunny, that's Kori! |
59 | * NightmareFetishist: She cooed over a sea louse, finding it "adorable". Kaldur also discreetly snarked it was the reason why she was attracted to [[XenomorphXerox Machina]]. |
60 | * ThePowerOfTheSun: Her powers come from the ultraviolet light she absorbs. |
61 | * RedheadsAreRavishing: Kori is the resident fanservice girl, causing several of her male teammates to admire her beauty and sex-appeal. She's also infamously a redhead. |
62 | * SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: She's basically the deuteragonist and LoveInterest for the main character. |
63 | * TheTease: She outright kisses people to learn languages instead of merely touching them because it's more fun and really enjoys entering her teammates' personal space. |
64 | * SecretKeeper: She's the only member of the Team to be aware Machina's a self-insert. |
65 | * SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: She meets Jacob when [[RescueRomance he helps her to flee a life of enslavement]] and grow closer from him as they are doing superheroics together. |
66 | * {{Stripperiffic}}: Her costume actually needs to cover her skin as less as possible, due to her powers being solar-powered. And because one of her abilities is enhanced durability, there's no need for armor. |
67 | * VagueAge: She was around the human equivalent of fifteen when the Citadel captured her, but she doesn't know how much time she spent enslaved. |
68 | [[/folder]] |
69 | [[folder:Kid Flash]] |
70 | !!Wally West a.k.a. Kid Flash |
71 | * ArbitrarySkepticism: He refuses to believe in magic and maintain science can explain everything. This despite his close friend Kaldur using magic on a daily basis. |
72 | * BigEater: As always. |
73 | * GirlOnGirlIsHot: ''Really'' enjoyed the sight of Starfire making out with Miss Martian to learn her language. |
74 | * HormoneAddledTeenager: Poor thing is left a drooling mess when he first meets [[MsFanservice Starfire]] and later events don't help. |
75 | * SuperSpeed: He's a speedster, so this is a no-brainer. |
76 | [[/folder]] |
77 | [[folder:Robin]] |
78 | !!Dick Grayson a.k.a. Robin |
79 | * TheBabyOfTheBunch: The youngest and smallest of the team, if not unexperienced. |
80 | * BadassNormal: Compared to the other members of the Team, Robin only has his training and wits. |
81 | * FatalFlaw: |
82 | ** He thinks he ''ought'' to be the leader. Except that, he doesn't actually know how to lead. |
83 | ** He's very nosy and refuses to leave some matters alone. Machina gently calls him out on this, since this kind of behaviour could really hurt his friends. |
84 | * MythologyGag: He cannot help but admire Kori's beauty and sex-appeal, which echoes their comics counterparts dating. |
85 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Since his main contacts with attractive women were them trying to kill or hurt him and he didn't entered puberty, he thought he was immune to feminine wiles. Enters a bikini-clad Kori, and our little bird suddenly discovers his libido. |
86 | * StealthHiBye: He ''loves'' pulling this. He even manages to use it against Machina in spite of his teammate's ultrasound radar - by hiding himself behind his cape à la Bela Lugosi. |
87 | * WhatTheHellHero: Tries to shame Machina for showing no remorse regarding the fact he almost killed Ivo. It doesn't take, since Jacob merely concedes they will have to disagree on this point. |
88 | [[/folder]] |
89 | [[folder:Miss Martian]] |
90 | !!M'gann M'orzz a.k.a. Miss Martian |
91 | * ClingyJealousGirl: Decidedly ''not'' okay with Starfire kissing [[ShipTease Superboy]], even if she only wanted to learn the languages he knew. |
92 | * FeminineWomenCanCook: At least she's less of a CordonBleughChef than Kori... |
93 | * GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: Her preferred shape for everyday life. |
94 | * MindManipulation: Her forte. |
95 | * PutOnABus: [[spoiler:Haunted by the trauma from Psimon taking over her mind, and her transformation into a Burning Martian, she decides to leave the Team for a short while to heal and gain a better grasp of her abilities.]] |
96 | * VoluntaryShapeshifting: She's able of it, but this talent isn't her favourite. |
97 | [[/folder]] |
98 | [[folder:Superboy]] |
99 | !!Superboy |
100 | * CantCatchUp: Angsts over being a half-breed because that means he'll never reach Superman's level. |
101 | * HalfHumanHybrid: Cue angstfest because it means he's ''obviously'' inferior to the entirely Kryptonian Superman. |
102 | * PostKissCatatonia: After he confessed he was a polyglot due to Cadmus's telepathic teaching, Starfire decided she wanted to learn... Poor boy was so shocked he forgot to sock her for [[HatesBeingTouched touching him without his permission]]. |
103 | * ThePowerOfTheSun: His power levels actually depend on solar wavelengths - red sunlight will make him sick, yellow sunlight gives him enhanced abilities, and blue sunlight grants him the full Kryptonian package. |
104 | * SuperStrength: Part of being a Kryptonian... well, half-Kryptonian. |
105 | * TookALevelInBadass: Thanks to Machina figuring how Kryptonian morphology reacts to various solar radiations and gifting him a solar suit. |
106 | * WeaksauceWeakness: Red sunlight will ruin his day in spite of him not being a pure Kryptonian. |
107 | ** After his solar suit upgrades him to Superman's full abilities, he has to be careful or he will consume all the energy stocked within and be forced to wait for a recharge. |
108 | [[/folder]] |
109 | [[folder:Aqualad]] |
110 | !!Kaldur'ahm a.k.a. Aqualad |
111 | * DeadpanSnarker: Beware, for being a waterbender doesn't mean he's unable to dish some mean burns. |
112 | * DoesNotLikeSpam: Cooked eel, for some reason. |
113 | * TheLancer: Here, he opted to become second-in-command after Starfire. |
114 | * MakingASplash: Part of the Atlantean training. |
115 | * NotSoStoic: Even he is appalled by Kori's cooking. |
116 | [[/folder]] |
117 | [[folder:Artemis]] |
118 | !!Artemis Crock |
119 | * EatingTheEyeCandy: She was quite the happy spectator when Jacob and Superboy decided to practice wrestling... bare-chested. |
120 | * WillingChanneler: When the whole Tower of Fate fiasco happens, ''she'' decided to wear the helmet of Fate since she was the less able fighter. |
121 | ** Then averted later. The whole experience was so bad for her that she says that she has no intention of finding him a host, like she promised, since she doesn't want to inflict that on anyone else. |
122 | [[/folder]] |
123 | !Mechanical entities |
124 | [[folder:The Fog]] |
125 | !!The Fog, the Entity, the Remnant, Calculus |
126 | * BigDamnHeroes: It saved Machina from irreversible deletion when the Calculator ambushed him. |
127 | ** [[spoiler:It later joins in with many other artificial intelligences and cyborgs in aiding Machina against the Dweller.]] |
128 | * CameBackStrong: Dr Serling tried to kill the Fog by giving it an existensialist crisis. It partially worked... and let the surviving remains attain sapience. |
129 | * ContemplateOurNavels: It was nonplussed by Machina going way beyond what logic and reason would dictate, and found itself fascinated by the possibility of evoluting. |
130 | * GrewBeyondTheirProgramming: As the Fog, its only goal was self-preservation. Attaining self-awareness and meeting Machina let it realize it could become so much ''more''. |
131 | [[/folder]] |
132 | [[folder:Moya]] |
133 | !!Moya |
134 | * AdaptationalPersonalityChange: More like "Adaptational Given a Personality". |
135 | * LivingShip: She belongs to M'gann. |
136 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Unable to feel lonely or bored, but will grow annoyed when you forget to feed her a "treat". She outright swallowed Jacob's hand while he was holding one. |
137 | * OrganicTechnology: A staple of Martian culture. |
138 | * ShoutOut: She's a LivingShip named [[Series/{{Farscape}} Moya]]. |
139 | * TheVoiceless: Mainly expresses herself through telepathic feelings. |
140 | [[/folder]] |
141 | [[folder:Rommie]] |
142 | !!New Genesphere, Super Cycle, Rommie |
143 | * AccidentalTruth: Her calling Machina a "Prime" - when she met him, his aura was so strong she thought he was amongst the upper echelons of Earth's machines. [[spoiler:{{Foreshadowing}} points to Jacob becoming the ElementalEmbodiment of the Machine Kingdom, so she wasn't wrong.]] |
144 | * ConstantlyCurious: She's a Scout unit, being curious is in her code. |
145 | * GenkiGirl: Very enthusiastic about her job. |
146 | * LargeHam: Her speech tends towards the grandiose and the occasional bouts of YeOldeButcheredEnglish. She ''is'' from New Genesis... |
147 | * IChooseToStay: When given the opportunity to be returned to New Genesis, she asks to pursue her exploration mission on Earth. |
148 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: She fretted over the tragedy of Red Tornado being unable to fulfill his prime directive... which was to slaughter the Justice League. Yeah, awkward. |
149 | * ShoutOut: Machina nicknames her Rommie after the LivingShip from ''Series/{{Andromeda}}''. |
150 | * YouAreNumberSix: She first introduced her self by her serial number 72046-Fel-Alvec-Rom, but gladly accepted a more personal designation. |
151 | [[/folder]] |
152 | [[folder:Mother Box]] |
153 | !!Mother Box |
154 | * GodInHumanForm: Rommie consistently refers to Mother Boxes as the highest authority for New Genesis and Apokolips' mechanical hierarchy, and they possess stupendous abilities - such as warping spacetime to open a Boom Tube. |
155 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: She starts poking and prodding at Jacob when she first meets him, curious at this new Machine Spirit. When he calls her on it, she apologizes immediately. |
156 | * NiceGal: Mister Miracle's Mother Box is very friendly and affable when Machina talks with her. |
157 | * OneSteveLimit: Averted. All Mother Boxes are named Mother Box, this is the inflection which differentiates them. |
