5	The Earth Corps are an organization of scientists who make it their mission to protect humanity from the Inhumanoids.

7	* HeroicBuild: Just about all of them are big, muscular men.
8	* LogicalWeakness: Their big metal suits aren't well-suited to swimming, though at least they have an air supply.
9	* PoweredArmor: They all wear special suits to both protect themselves from the hazards beneath the Earth and to be able to fight back against the Inhumanoids.
10	* ScienceHero: They are scientists using their knowledge to fight the Inhumanoids.
11	* TeethClenchedTeamwork: They are, first and foremost, scientific researchers, not a military unit, so maybe it's not a surprise the members of Earth Corps annoy each other a lot and don't have the best teamwork.

47	->Voiced by: William Callaway
48
49	* NewAgeRetroHippie: A bit of one, particularly in the early episodes where when the team's splitting up to investigate various leads, he wants to check out the forest where D Compose was found to look into the "vibes".

57	->Voiced by: Creator/SusanSilo

70
71	* ToylessToylineCharacter: A figure was planned, but did not get to see the light of day because of the toyline's cancellation.
72	* {{Transplant}}: He is strongly implied to be the same character as Ace from ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeARealAmericanHero'' due to having the same real name.
73	* WeCanRebuildHim: He ends up critically injured and it's implied that his armor was built around his body by the Earth Corps to save his life.
74	* YouDontLookLikeYou: As stated above, he is supposed to be the same character as Ace, but is noticeably different from how he was depicted in the ''G.I. Joe'' cartoon.
75	[[/folder]]
76
77	[[folder:Anatoly Kiev / Tankmaster aka "Tank"]]
78	-> Voiced by: Neil Ross

82	* ToylessToylineCharacter: As with Sandra and Sabre Jet, his figure was cancelled.

90
91	* DarkIsNotEvil: Most of them are sinister in appearance, but are still good guys.
92	* HiddenElfVillage: After toppling the Inhumanoids the first time, they've isolated themselves in their respective habitats, and were reluctant at first to aid humanity after their return.

119	* MagnetismManipulation: Magnokor has magnetic abilities.
120	* RedOniBlueOni: Crygen is calm and rational, while Pyre is more belligerent and antagonistic. The fact that Crygen and Pyre are respectively blue and red also makes this trope apply to them literally.

122	[[/folder]]
123
124	!!Inhumanoids

128
129	* {{Kaiju}}: A rare American example of giant monsters who go about wrecking cities.
130	* SealedEvilInACan: Most of them has been imprisoned in some way, with Metlar trapped in a magnetic field generated by Magnakor, D'Compose imprisoned in amber, Tendril locked inside a stone prison and Sslither turned into stone. Gagoyle is the one exception, as he was hatched the same day Nightcrawler and Blackthorne Shore found him.
131	* TimeAbyss: They've all been around eons before humanity existed.
132	[[/folder]]
133
134	[[folder:Metlar]]

136	->Voiced by: Ed Gilbert
137	The most powerful and evil of the Inhumanoids, a metallic demon spawned by Earth's fiery core.
138	* BigBad: He serves as the central antagonist of the series due to being the leader of the Inhumanoids and the one orchestrating the giant monsters' attacks on the surface world.
139	* BizarreAlienBiology: Or subterranean. A large portion of his body is silvery ferromagnetic metal. It's not clear if he's got anything organic under that or if what look to be organic parts aren't some kind of metal instead. If he wasn't created by someone, he could be a member of a race where combining organic and inorganic parts is part of their biology.
140	* HypnoticEyes: Looking into his eyes paralyzes his targets with fear.
141	* LivingStatue: He can take normal statues and turn them into these. They nominally serve him, but possess their own consciousnesses, which can lead to trouble (e.g. when he animated both Confederate and Union Civil War statues and they ended up fighting between themselves).
142	* LogicalWeakness: As might be expected, being (mostly?) made of metal he can be affected by magnetic fields.
143	* PlayingWithFire: He has magma-based powers.
144	[[/folder]]
145
146	[[folder:D'Compose]]

148	->Voiced by: Chris Latta
149	A gigantic dinosaur-like undead creature, who can turn any living thing he touches into a loyal zombie.
150	* AnimateDead: He can being back corpses, even skeletal ones, to serve him.
151	* CoDragons: He and Tendril are Metlar's main lackeys.
152	* TheCorrupter: Literally! He can grab his foes and turn them into loyal undead slaves, and the dead he raises serve him no matter ''who'' they were in life.
153	* CreepyHighPitchedVoice: Courtesy of [[WesternAnimation/GIJoeARealAmericanHero Chris]] [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformers Latta]], but here it's not ''nearly'' as funny.
154	* EvenEvilHasStandards: He is actually aghast when he bears witness to the creation of Nightcrawler.
155	* UndeadAbomination: He's a giant undead monster with the ability to turn other people into undead terrors.
156	* WeakenedByTheLight: He is vulnerable to sunlight, and his [[ZombifyTheLiving decomposed]] lackeys revert upon exposure to sunlight.
157	* ZombifyTheLiving: His main power is to turn humans into undead monsters, even Redwoods.
158	[[/folder]]
159
160	[[folder:Tendril]]
161	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tendril_monster.jpg]]
162	->Voiced by: Chris Latta
163	A giant, nearly mindless plant creature.
164	* CoDragons: He and D'Compose are Metlar's main lackeys.
165	* CloneArmy: Probably the thing that made Tendril the most dangerous was that any big enough pieces of him that were blown off the original would not only heal quickly, they'd grow into other Tendrils just as powerful as the original (until that ability was [[ForgottenPhlebotinum forgotten after a couple episodes]]).
166	* CombatTentacles: He fights using tentacles.
167	* DumbMuscle: He is incredibly strong, but not very bright.
168	* ThirdPersonPerson: In the fine tradition of DumbMuscle everywhere.
169	[[/folder]]
170
171	[[folder:Gagoyle]]
172	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gagoyle.jpg]]
173	->Voiced by: ???
174	A monster sought out by Blackthorne and Nightcrawler to have a powerful creature to protect them after they'd betrayed the Inhumanoids.
175
176	* {{Cyclops}}: He only has one eye.
177	* ExtremeOmnivore: He is at one point seen devouring entire trees.
178	* ToylessToylineCharacter: He does not have a toy.
179	* WeHardlyKnewYe: Metlar throws him into the volcanic depths in his second appearance, which apparently killed him.
180	[[/folder]]
181
182	[[folder:Sslither]]
183	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sslither_inhumanoid.jpg]]
184	->Voiced by: Neil Ross
185
186	* BreathWeapon: Shoots fire and lightning out of his mouth.
187	* TheDogBitesBack: Metlar was enslaved to him centuries ago, but he managed to coat Sslither in lava that hardened and turned him into a statue. When Metlar and Sslither fight again after he's released, Metlar wins.
188	* GreaterScopeVillain: He is Metlar's boss, but not nearly has active in the plot as Metlar is.
189	* TakenForGranite: He was turned to stone as part of his imprisonment.
190	* ToylessToylineCharacter: No toy for him.
191	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: After Metlar wins their rematch, Sslither runs away, and nobody ever thinks anything of it.
192	[[/folder]]
193
194	!!Inhumanoid Allies
195
196	[[folder:Blackthorne Shore]]
197	[[quoteright:263:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/blackthorne_shore.jpg]]
198	->Voiced by: Creator/MichaelBell
199
200	* CardCarryingVillain: As he himself says in a late episode,
201	--> "I'm not ''sick'', I'm '''evil'''!"
202	* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: His PoweredArmor is colored black, 'cause he's the bad guy.
203	* CripplingOverspecialization: His suit's really useful against Metlar...but not those Inhumanoids who ''aren't'' made largely made of metal.
204	* DidntThinkThisThrough: He thought he'd be able to control the Inhumanoids after he released them [[DecapitatedArmy if he could subdue their leader]], so he designed his power suit specifically to target Metlar. He apparently didn't think the others would try to free their master--which they did.
205	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He warned his sister Sandra to keep out of his plans for her own good, and is genuinely aghast when D'Compose transforms her into a monster.
206	--> "SANDRA!! I never meant--!"
207	* EvilIsNotAToy: He attempted to set the Inhumanoids free so he could take over the world, but learned the hard way that controlling them was next to impossible.
208	** And he keeps doing it! He unleashes Gagoyle and later Sslither to have someone powerful to protect him against his many enemies, but he never has any way to ensure their loyalty.
209	* EyepatchOfPower: He wears an eyepatch.
210	* MagnetismManipulation: His suit's main power, which is strong enough to paralyze or control Metlar's metallic body.
211	* MortonsFork: After his suit's magnetic power shorts out Metlar forces him into his service under threat of death.
212	* PoweredArmor: He has his own set, with magnetic abilities.
213	* ToylessToylineCharacter: In spite of being responsible for the Inhumanoids being released from their prisons in the first place and having his own PoweredArmor, he never got his own figure in the toyline.
214	* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Obviously, the heroes all hate him, that's a given. But by late in the show, all the villains want revenge on him for one thing or another, too.
215	[[/folder]]
216
217	[[folder:Dr. Herman Manglar / Nightcrawler]]
218	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/manglar_nightcrawler.jpg]]
219	->Voiced by: William Callaway (up until "Cult of Darkness"), Ron Feinberg ("Negative Polarity" and onwards)
220
221	* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: Prior to being revived as Nightcrawler, Dr. Manglar drowned in toxic sludge and was reduced to only a skull.
222	* MadScientist: He was imprisoned for his unethical genetic tests on human subjects.
223	* OurZombiesAreDifferent: D'Compose uses his powers to revive Manglar as a horrific zombie-like being.
224	* RevenantZombie: He clearly still remembers who he was before his death.
225	* ToylessToylineCharacter: He actually was planned to get his own toy, but the toyline was cancelled before it could be released.
226	[[/folder]]
227
228	[[folder:Cypher]]
229
230	* AIIsACrapshoot: Cypher betrays its creators and tries to ally itself with the Inhumanoids at the very first opportunity.
231	* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Cypher turns against humanity for treating it like a slave (despite nobody being aware that Cypher was even sentient), yet seems to think that Metlar will treat it as an equal despite every minute of their "alliance" disproving that idea.
232	* WeHardlyKnewYe: It only appears in one episode, barely living long enough to do more than free the Inhumanoids from captivity before its robotic body is [[HollywoodAcid melted by Liquidator]].
233	[[/folder]]
