| 11 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Danny Dark, Jerry Dexter (as Superboy) |
| 12 | ---- |
| 13 | * AccidentalPervert: When trapped in the mirror world by Mirror Master in the ''Legendary Super Powers Show'' episode "Reflections in Crime", one part has him apologize after a woman screams from off-screen, which is most likely implying that Superman accidentally appeared in the mirror of a woman who was in a state of undress. |
| 14 | * BrattyHalfPint: In the ''Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show'' episode "Uncle Mxyzptlk", exposure to red kryptonite turns him into a little kid who is very ill-behaved, with his brattiness exploited by Mr. Mxyzptlk to cause havoc. |
| 15 | * DisneyDeath: The ''Galactic Guardians'' episode "The Death of Superman" has him appear to die of kryptonite poisoning, but it later turns out that he is simply in a trance. Once the rest of the Super Friends retrieve his body from the sun and use equipment on him in the Fortress of Solitude, he revives with no problem. |
| 16 | * FountainOfYouth: |
| 17 | ** He, Aquaman and Wonder Woman are turned into children by Dictor in ''The All-New Super Friends Hour'' episode "The Mysterious Time Creatures". |
| 18 | ** He is de-aged into a small child by exposure to red kryptonite in "Uncle Mxyzptlk". |
| 19 | * KidHeroAllGrownUp: As the case was in Pre-Crisis continuity, he started out in his teenagehood as Superboy. |
| 20 | * RapidAging: The ''New Super Friends'' episode "Terror from the Phantom Zone" has Superman become an old man after exposure to red kryptonite. |
| 21 | * OriginsEpisode: The circumstances of the destruction of his home planet and arrival to Earth are shown in the 1973 episode "The Planet-Splitter", the ''Challenge of the Superfriends'' episode "Secret Origins of the Super Friends" and the lost season episode "The Krypton Syndrome". |
| 22 | * RetGone: The ''Challenge of the Superfriends'' episode "Secret Origins of the Super Friends" had the Legion of Doom alter history so that Kal-El never came to Earth and instead had his rocket land on a planet with a red sun, erasing the Man of Steel from history. |

| 30 | * BadassNormal: Neither of them have powers and rely on physical prowess and their gadgets to fight the bad guys. |
| 31 | * OriginsEpisode: The ''Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians'' episode "The Fear" revealed how Bruce Wayne was motivated to become Batman after his parents were shot dead in front of him. The episode was notably also the first time Batman's origin was shown on television, or any medium besides the comics, for that matter. |

| 62 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Sherry Alberoni (Wendy Harris), Creator/FrankWelker (Marvin White and Wonder Dog) |
| 63 | ---- |
| 64 | * AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: The New Earth versions of them are siblings, something which the show gave no indication of. In fact, the tie-in comics written by the script editor of the show (who did work at DC) stated they were very much not related to one another. |
| 65 | * AllThereInTheManual: The tie-in comics explained their absence after the first series by establishing that they left the Justice League after graduating high school to attend college once the Wonder Twins entered the picture and assisted them in fighting Superman's enemy Grax. |
| 66 | ** In addition, Wendy is stated to be the niece of Detective Harvey Harris, who was the mentor of a young Bruce Wayne, and Marvin is the son of the Diana Prince, whom Wonder Woman traded identities with, and her husband Daniel White. They want to work in law enforcement in the future and so the leaguers basically use the Superfriends team as a way of mentoring them as a favor to their relatives, and that Wonder Dog was specifically named after Wonder Woman by Marvin. The writer of the comic, Creator/ENelsonBridwell, also speculates that Wendy might be the multiversal counterpart of Earth-Two's Wendy (or Wendi) Harris, who married Hourman. [[ShrugOfGod But she also might not be]]. |
| 67 | * BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: Marvin's shirt has an M on it. |
| 68 | * CanonImmigrant: They were created for the cartoon, but were added to the main DC universe after ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis''. |
| 69 | * ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: They vanished after the first series and were replaced for the remainder of the franchise with the Wonder Twins and Gleek. |
| 70 | ** PutOnABus: The comics would explain why they vanished (they went to college). |
| 71 | * EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Marvin has superpowers in the first episode, as seen when he briefly flies. This is never mentioned again, and the junior Superfriends are treated as normal kids for the rest of the show. |
| 72 | * {{Expy}}: Marvin pretty much is [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWhereAreYou Shaggy]], they even share the LikeIsLikeAComma VerbalTic. Wonder Dog is also pretty much Scooby himself due to being speech-impaired animals. |
| 73 | * KidAppealCharacter: At the insistence of Creator/HannaBarbera, they were created so that children could identify with them. |
| 74 | * LikeIsLikeAComma: Marvin, like, talks this way, like, a lot. |
| 75 | * NamedByTheAdaptation: An author's note in the first issue of the tie-in comic ([[WordOfGod by E. Nelson Bridwell who was the script editor for the show]]) gave them the full names of Wendy Harris and Marvin White, for the reasons explained above. Post-Crisis, this was inconsistently remembered by writers, as due to their AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul as siblings, they were now either surnamed White or Harris depending on what comic you read. |
| 76 | * RelatedInTheAdaptation: When they were adapted to the Post-Crisis continuity, Wendy and Marvin were now siblings, [[ArchnemesisDad and the Calculator was their father]]. Also counts as a case of UnrelatedInTheAdaptation, since it's highly unlikely that they have any connection to either Diana Prince-White or Harvey Harris, if the latter two even exist. |
| 77 | * SpeechImpairedAnimal: Wonder Dog doesn't talk, but still makes an effort to communicate to the others. |
| 78 | * TeamPet: Wonder Dog is obviously the pet of the Super Friends. |
| 79 | * WomenAreWiser: Wendy is frequently shown to be the smartest of the three and often chides Marvin whenever he's acting foolish. |

| 89 | ---- |
| 90 | * AllThereInTheManual: The tie-in comics gave explanations to how the Wonder Twins came to replace Wendy and Marvin as well as their origins. The seventh issue explained that they arrived on Earth after hearing of a plan concocted by Superman's enemy Grax and felt it wise to help the Super Friends thwart this scheme, while issue fourteen revealed that Zan and Jayna had their powers due to Exorians having ancestors with shape-shifting abilities but having such power limited by generations of interbreeding with non-powered inhabitants, they were orphaned by a plague and subsequently worked as freaks in a carnival before making a break for it and Gleek was a monkey at the carnival who chose to go with them when they escaped and found out about Grax's plan. |
| 91 | * AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: Gleek is a blue monkey. |
| 92 | * BirthdayEpisode: Gleek's sixth birthday is celebrated in the lost season episode "Invasion of the Space Dolls", where his present turns out to be one of the titular space dolls. |
| 93 | * BreakoutCharacter: Originally started to be replacements for Wendy, Marvin and Wonder Dog but unlike them they grew in popularity and are an integral part of Superfriends and even showed up in the comics and other media. Plus those who didn't grow up with ''Super Friends'' would not have known their debut was here. It's particularly notable that the Wonder Twins were incorporated to the standard DC Comics universe long before the same was done for their predecessors Wendy and Marvin. |
| 94 | * BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: Zan, Jayna and Gleek respectively have a Z, a J and a G on their chests. |
| 95 | * CanonImmigrant: Much like the characters they ended up replacing, Zan and Jayna were created for the cartoon, but would eventually be added to the main DC universe by 1996 in the pages of ''Extreme Justice''. Their simian sidekick Gleek would later follow suit in 2019 by making his canonical comic book debut in the second issue of the Wonder Twins' own comic book. |
| 96 | * ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Much like Wendy, Marvin and Wonder Dog, the Wonder Twins and Gleek were eventually dropped from the series, making no appearances at all in ''The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians''. |
| 97 | * DemotedToExtra: The last series that they appear in, ''Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show'', only features them in a handful of episodes. |
| 98 | * ElementalShapeshifter: Zan can transform into different forms of water as well as ice-based constructs. |
| 99 | * {{Expy}}: They are very similar to Jan, Jace and Blip from fellow Hanna-Barbera cartoon ''WesternAnimation/SpaceGhost'', who are also a pair of teenage sidekicks and their pet monkey. |
| 100 | * EyeDentityGiveaway: Jayna maintains her purple eyes no matter the form that she takes. |
| 101 | * SillySimian: Gleek is an alien monkey and a frequent source of comic relief, whether by playing pranks or falling victim to hilarious misfortunes. |
| 102 | * SpeechImpairedAnimal: Like Wonder Dog before him, Gleek is incapable of real speech and has to rely on gestures for the others to understand his chittering. |
| 103 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Two teenage sidekicks and a semi-sapient animal like Wendy, Marvin and Wonder Dog were. |
| 104 | * VoluntaryShapeshifting: Zan and Jayna are both shape-shifters, though their powers only work when they are in contact with each other, Zan can only turn into forms of water or ice-based constructs and Jayna is limited to transforming into animals. |
| 105 | * WhaleEgg: While Gleek is an alien monkey, the lost season short "Invasion of the Space Dolls" implies that his species reproduces by laying eggs, as his birthday celebration has Jayna state that it's been six years since he hatched. |
| 106 | * WonderTwinPowers: Zan and Jayna can only activate their powers when in contact with one another, with the twins respectively being able to turn into forms of water or ice-based constructs and animals. |

| 202 | ---- |
| 203 | * EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: His debut in ''The All-New Super Friends Hour'' segment "Flood of Diamonds" is a bit inconsistent with his portrayal in the comics by having him travel by using his ring to create a jet (ignoring the fact that his ring in the comics enabled him to fly) and having all of his ring's constructs aside from the aforementioned jet and some support beams not being colored green. The inaccuracy of his ring creating constructs that aren't colored green was corrected by his second appearance in the segment "Rampage", while ''Challenge of the Superfriends'' finally had him using his ring to fly instead of relying on a jet construct to travel. |

| 251 | * {{Cyborg}}: He's half-human and half-machine. It's right in his codename. |
| 252 | * IJustWantToBeNormal: Not unlike his comics counterpart, actually, Victor Stone is pretty against becoming one of the Super Friends in Season 9, preferring to live a normal life and only get involved when evil threatens the people he cares about around him. But when Darkseid threatens all of Earth, he feels compelled to help, and when it's his involvement that saves the day, he knows the alien warlord god will treat him like an enemy no matter what. |
| 253 | * MakeSomeNoise: Aside from the general strength and sturdiness that come from being a half-robot athlete, Cyborg's other powers are generally united by the theme of sound, including a sonic blaster, super-hearing, and the ability to do other things through sonic manipulations. |
| 254 | * PetTheDog: Although he's [[RefusalOfTheCall pretty reluctant to be dragged into the Super Friends]] and [[ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman has to be emotionally blackmailed into it with a problem only his unique powers can solve]], Cyborg is introduced at the start of the episode helping a young man who's just gotten a more mundane prosthetic leg to learn to walk on it, encouraging him to be comfortable in his own skin and to keep pursuing his dreams of basketball stardom instead of giving up. This shows that Victor still has a caring and compassionate heart, and that he wants to do good even if he's not sold on the whole crimefighting thing. |
| 255 | * TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: While affiliated with the Teen Titans in the comics, this incarnation of Cyborg becomes affiliated with the Justice League, years before ''Series/{{Smallville}}'', James Robinson's run on the Post-''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis'' ''ComicBook/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica'', and the ComicBook/New52 would do the same. |

| 269 | * BaldOfEvil: Like most incarnations, Lex Luthor here is a bald supervillain. |
| 270 | * BigBad: He is the central villain of ''Challenge of the Superfriends'', given that he is the leader of the Legion of Doom and comes up with all the schemes they attempt against the Super Friends. |
| 271 | * DisproportionateRetribution: As revealed in the ''Challenge of the Superfriends'' episode "History of Doom", the reason behind his vendetta towards Superman is that he's angry at the Man of Steel for accidentally causing him to go bald when they were adolescents. |
| 272 | * EvilFormerFriend: "History of Doom" echoes Luthor's Silver Age comic book origin by establishing that he and Superman used to be friends when they met as teenagers and that Lex even planned to give Superboy a formula that would remove his weakness towards kryptonite, only for Superboy's efforts to save Luthor after a lab accident resulting in Luthor losing his hair and accusing Superboy of deliberately putting him in danger, swearing himself to get even with Superboy while destroying the kryptonite antidote out of spite. |
| 273 | * PrematurelyBald: Staying true to his Pre-Crisis comic book origin, Lex Luthor went bald as a teenager as an unfortunate side-effect of Superboy's efforts to save his life when his lab caught on fire. |

| 281 | * AdaptationSpeciesChange: Her comics counterpart at the time was an ape who was transformed into a human, while this incarnation shows her to have always been a human woman. |
| 282 | * AdaptationalBackstoryChange: In the comics, Giganta's origin is that she was an ape who was transformed by experimentation into a super-strong human woman. The ''Challenge of the Superfriends'' episode "History of Doom" establishes a decidedly different origin where she was always a human woman and gained her size-changing abilities by taking the pouch containing the magic powder that gave Apache Chief his powers and using it on herself. |
| 283 | * AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: Giganta's size-changing ability was a creation of the cartoon, her comic counterpart at the time merely having immense strength and being larger than a normal human, though her power to grow to gigantic size proved popular enough that she was eventually given that power in the comic books. |
| 284 | * EvilCounterpart: Because both have the power to grow to gigantic size, she is a villainous equivalent to Apache Chief. Heck, "History of Doom" reveals that they got their powers from the same source. |
| 285 | * EvilRedhead: She's a red-haired villainess. |

His Omega Beams are an AgonyBeam as opposed to HomingLasers, and using them tires him quickly; Superman was only targeted twice by Darkseid with them, and while the first time Supes struggled with them, he [[NoSell completely shrugged them off]] the other time.

| 515 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: He comes off as a stand-in for the show's interpretation of Toyman (who was apparently supposed to be the villain of the episode he appeared in before the creators were forced to create an original villain due to not having access to Toyman), especially due to being a toy-themed villain clad in a clown-like costume and voiced by Frank Welker.
