12	At the end of Season 4, XANA implanted one of his source codes in Ulrich's body, and as a result he can now deactivate towers. On a personal level, he is still trying to confess his affections to Yumi, and is still jealous of William for his efforts to get Yumi's attention.
13	----
14	* DoppelgangerAttack: After a long period of disuse dating back to the second episode of the original show's 4th season, Ulrich's Triplicate power makes a comeback to help dispatch a Ninja in episode 14.
15	* EmbarrassingRescue: [[TheRival William]] rescues Ulrich after a laser blast almost pushes him into the Digital Sea.
16	* HeroStoleMyBike: William uses the Overbike in the fifth episode just to get on his nerves.
17	* MomentKiller: Had this happen to him at least three times in the first episode.
18	* TheRival: With William. There was even a whole episode about it. Both seem to have gotten over it, though.

23	[[quoteright:272:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tvOddCLE_1_4994_5773.png]]
24	->Played by: Gulliver Bevernaege-Benhadj
25
26	Odd is slightly more mature in the new series, but is still be a source of humor. He can now fire six arrows at once on Lyoko. Kiwi is no longer living with him, having been left in the care of his sisters. He is overjoyed to be back on Lyoko. He also has XANA's source codes in his body, and can also deactivate towers.
27	----
28	* AdaptationDyeJob: The live-action Odd has light brown hair, rather than in the previous series where he had blonde hair. That hairstyle is retained for his 3D form, and he does keep his purple spot in both forms, but it is moved further down his head so it looks more natural (i.e., growing from the roots), his hair also likewise loses the AnimeHair of his animated counterpart.
29	* BewareTheSillyOnes: Arguably even moreso than before, giving him more this vibe than CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass. As mentioned above, Odd is a bit more mature in this series, and can snap from silly and funny to showing his experience seriously and earnestly on a dime, and he often somehow does both simultaneously. Across the season, he comes off as the team's unofficial cavalry once or twice because of it (which he lampshades a couple times).
30	* ButtMonkey: Amazingly even moreso than he was in the original show; he gets the most frequently victim of the Spectres' attacks, his dating life is getting messed up, ''William'' has no respect for him...
31	* DrivesLikeCrazy: In the Megapod.
32	* HeadbuttingHeroes: With William, after William locks him in a forbidden part of the cafeteria. They later reconcile though.
33	* {{Hypocrite}}: He called out William for "going solo". Yet, in episode 6, when William is devirtualized after having saved Aelita, he congratulates him, claiming that it is better when he isn't going solo...Forgetting that the entire success of the whole mission was due to William ''alone''. To top it off? He already went solo back in episode 79 of the original series, ''not helping'' his case.
34	* KidAnova: Like his original series self... however, the few we have seen of it so far suggest he doesn't really have [[CasanovaWannabe that much success]].
35	* TheMasqueradeWillKillYourDatingLife: Being a Lyoko Warrior has disastrous effects on his relationship with Samantha.
36	* {{Neologism}}: In episode 12, he bemoans that Laura became "un-returntothepastifiable".
37	* SadClown: While having [[spoiler:lost all of his codes.]] He makes with the jokes even when it's brought up ([[SelfDeprecatingHumor usually by him]]), but he's clearly ''very'' bitter about it.
38	* TookALevelInBadass: On Lyoko, he can now fires full bursts of laser arrows instead of just one. He is also shown to be slighly less fun-loving and more serious and professional on Lyoko, much like Season 1.
39	* TheUnintelligible: In episode 7, being drained by a Spectre make him temporarily lose the capacity for coherent speech. HilarityEnsues.

44	[[quoteright:268:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tvYumiCLE_1849_3010.png]]
45	->Played by: Mélanie Tran
46
47	Yumi receives a new weapon, the "Bo Staff", and her Overwing has been modified. She can deactivate towers now, just as Odd and Ulrich do.
48	----
49	* AllLovingHero: A trait that wasn't developed in her original incarnation, this version of Yumi displays concern with helping people outside of the virtual world. She attempts to make a caricative party in order to send the money to victims in Japan, and, when asked what she would do if she won millions, answers she would just give everything to associations.[[note]]The series was announced right around the time of the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake, Tsunami & Fukushima Nuclear Meltdown disaster which was an ongoing crisis for Japan at the time of the series announcement.[[/note]]
50	* TheAtoner: Yumi feels sorry for William and wants him back in the team, regretting her violent opposition to his return back in the original series.
51	* BadassAdorable: Yumi's just as much a badass here just as she was in the original series, her Lyoko Avatar on the other hand is far more cuter looking compared to her original animated series counterpart who looked a bit more uncanny due to the infamous big forehead.
52	* BigNo: When Aelita gets devirtualized and Yumi finds herself facing two Ninjas alone.
53	* HellBentForLeather: One of her outfits involves a leather jacket.
54	* InkSuitActor: Mélanie Tran bares a ''spooky'' resemblance to her animated counterpart, showing that she nails Yumi's characteristics down to a tee.
55	* MsFanservice: Yumi's just as attractive here as she was in the original series, despite losing her iconic BareMidriffsAreFeminine outfit. Being played by the extremely gorgeous Mélanie Tran helps. She even wears a ''bikini'' in the 5th episode, something that the original animated Yumi never did in the original series. [[note]]Her animated self wore a one-piece swimsuit, while still fanservicey, was less revealing compared to the bikini.[[/note]]
56	* RetractableWeapon: Gets the "Bo Staff", a telescoping staff, in episode 10, allowing Yumi to finally fight at close range.
57	* TookALevelInKindness: A big one, in fact. Just see TheAtoner and AllLovingHero.

61	!!Jérémie Belpois
62	[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/JeremieCLE_8883.gif]]
63	->Played by: Marin Lafitte
64
65	Jérémie reprises his role as the Supercomputer's main operator, and is now dedicating his time to figuring out new ways for his friends to navigate the Cortex and avoid XANA's specters.
66	----
67	* IdiotBall: He and Aelita suffer a drop in IQ whenever Laura is involved. Taken to ridiculous extreme when he [[spoiler:fails to notice she has been reading the Return to the Past codes and modified the virus she conceived for them so it would protect her memory from it, all of this ''right under his nose''.]] And that's just the beginning; a lot of episodes have Aelita and Jérémie acting outright incompetent just so the episode can have Laura show up. [[spoiler:Averted in later episodes though, the end of episode 12 showing him to still be the smartest out of the two. This trope even plays on Laura in episode 22, as she is unable to program the Megapod.]]
68	* InkSuitActor: Marin Lafitte bares a huge resemblance to animated Jeremie, despite him being one of the youngest members of the cast next to Odd's.
69	* TheLeader: He has grown into this role even moreso than before. He's become more assertive and authoritative when it comes to keeping the others in line and together in missions, and they automatically look to his determination and resolve for answers even outside of tech-based problems.
70	* LimitedWardrobe: In a sense. While Jérémie does wear different outfits each episode, they all happen to be khaki pants and plaid shirts.
71	* MrExposition: Like in the original series.
72	* TookALevelInBadass: Back in Season 4, it took him ''months'' to create the Skid. In Evolution, he can do it in ''days''.
73	* TookALevelInJerkass: Jérémie is rather more abrasive in this series, and even more obsessed with Lyoko than ever before, a far cry from his animated counterpart.

77	!!Aelita Schaeffer
78	[[quoteright:288:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tvAelitaCLE_3540_8149.png]]
79	->Played by: Léonie Berthonnaud/Romane Bouyer (flashback)
80
81	Aelita is the one that makes the decision to turn the Supercomputer back on after witnessing XANA-like electrical phenomena at Kadic. She finds a picture of her father in the Cortex, and is from that moment determined to find out why it is there. She is jealous of Laura's presence on the team.
82	----
83	* BadassAdorable: Just as much of one here as she was in the original series.
84	* TheCutie: Aelita is still just as adorable in live action as she was in the original animated series, being played by Léonie Berthonnaud definitely helps.
85	* DeflectorShields: Aelita had already demonstrated the ability to create shields in the original series, but here they prove even more versatile. She use one to protect the megapod in "Madame Einstein", and another to reveal the InvisibleMonster in "Rivalités". She can't maintain them against the superior firepower of the wall of Bloks in "Compte à rebours", though.
86	* GreenEyedMonster: Towards Laura. In "Miss Einstein", she unilaterally decided to prevent Laura from joining the group by activating the RTTP, which she makes pretty clear to Odd is mostly out of jealousy.
87	* InkSuitActor: Léonie Berthonnaud looks very much like Aelita's animated self.
88	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While considerably more abrasive, Aelita's heart is still in the right place.
89	* MsFanservice: Aelita is seen wearing beachwear in the 5th episode, though it's nowhere near as revealing as Yumi's two piece bikini.
90	* PetTheDog: In "Rendez-vous", she doesn't show any animosity towards Laura and sincerely thanks her for saving the day.
91	* TheRival: She and Laura end up loathing each other, mainly because they fill similar roles on the team and Aelita is vexed by Laura's InsufferableGenius attitude. The negative air between the two just gets worse as the season goes on. [[spoiler:Aelita has the last laugh in the end, though, as after Laura proves to be a true TokenEvilTeammate, she gets kicked off the team with her memory of the factory and Lyoko erased for good.]]
92	* TalkingToTheDead: She gets into the habit of talking to her departed father while on Lyoko.
93	* TookALevelInJerkass: Contrary to her personality in the previous series, this version of Aelita is considerably more aggressive, to the extent that, when the team attempts to vote on whether to include Laura or not, she preempts the vote and activates the RTTP. [[WhatTheHellHero She gets called out on it by Odd]], but it's pretty clear she doesn't feel guilty about it. This might be justified by the fact that her father died in the season finale of the last series (hence no real development on that front), but it's still quite the change in behavior. She is also more sullen and driven in general, to the point of being abrasive at times. Also, see her attitude in "Rendez-Vous".

96	[[folder:William Dunbar]]
97	!!William Dunbar
98	[[quoteright:284:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tvWilliamCLE_5055_6221.png]]
99	->Played by: Diego Mestanza
100
101	Post-possession, William has effectively been kicked out of the Lyoko Warriors for his actions in ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'', [[NotHimself (despite the fact that it wasn't his fault)]], as the others make a point of not inviting him to the factory when duty calls. This has enraged him on multiple occasions, and he will go to the factory on his own and demand to be taken to Lyoko when he suspects that they are there without him. He has proven a capable fighter on Lyoko, and is finally accepted back into the team in episode 5, while finally ending his longtime rivarly with Ulrich.
102	----
103	* TheAce: He is by far the strongest Lyoko-Warrior.
104	* TheAtoner: Let's just say he works ''hard'' to make up for his rampages as XANA's [[TheDragon Dragon]] and it pays off with him finally rejoining the team.
105	* DarkIsNotEvil: Despite now being on the side of the Lyoko-Warriors, William retains his black, XANA-era costume and SuperSmoke power, implying he plans to use XANA's gifts against him.
106	* TheDeterminator: He ''still'' isn't giving up on Yumi. He even delivers a speech to Odd about how it's never a good idea to give up.
107	* EarnYourHappyEnding: If anyone got the better end of the deal by the end of the show, it's William. He had to work hard for it, especially in the first five episodes of the show, but he has managed to permanently rejoin the team and deepen his bond with them, reconcile and befriend his rival Ulrich, and his friendship with Yumi has recovered from the damage it suffered in Season 4. It's telling that unlike said Season 4's finale, William was present when the team shut down the supercomputer.
108	* FaustianRebellion: William has all his XANA-granted abilities with none of the forced servitude after being freed in the previous series.
109	* GoodCostumeSwitch: Averted. Despite switching back to the good guys his outfit remains very similar to his evil one, although it lacks the [[MarkOfTheBeast XANA symbol]] and [[OfCorsetsSexy corset]].
110	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite his antagonism with Ulrich, he still choses to try convincing the Stern boy to do the right thing after he argued with Yumi. He also confess that his new level in Jerkass was because he was frustrated to be seen as the bad guy.
111	* LeeroyJenkins: A lot less so than he was the first time he went on Lyoko, but he still has his moments. In "Compte à rebours", his attitude causes Yumi and him to be quickly defeated by a wall of Bloks.
112	* MasterOfAll: This is even ''more'' ridiculous than in Season 4. He can't fall in the Digital Sea and is the only Lyoko-warrior that can move through the Cortex without any trouble (both thanks to the Super Smoke), every single one of his attacks is a finisher if successful, the Super Smoke makes him faster than Ulrich's Super Sprint and his sword, lighter, is even ''deadlier''. Should we mention that he can send ''flying'' both monsters and Lyoko-warriors?
113	* PetTheDog: {{Downplayed}}. He is the only Lyoko-warrior who never minded Laura nor was hostile to her. Even when she manipulated him, he merely warned her of the consequences, remained silent when she was kicked out and was the only one of the group who didn't raise his hand when they voted to kick out Laura. This tacit sympathy led a few fans to pair him with Laura.
114	* ReformedButRejected: He definitely is reformed, but the Lyoko Warriors aren't much more forgiving toward him than they were at the end of season 4 of the original show; it takes five episodes for him to be truly reintegrated back into the team, much to his dismay.
115	* SixthRanger: Now on a permanent basis.
116	* SixthRangerTraitor: [[spoiler:Almost happened in episode 15, when his clone almost succeeds in persuading him to join XANA, luckily William doesn't fall for it.]]
117	* SuperSmoke: The TropeNamer. Still possesses it and his other powers.
118	* TheTeamNormal: Not in the sense that he doesn't have any powers (on the contrary, actually), but he is the only one in the team with no XANA code inside him (ironically), and as such can't deactivate towers.
119	* TookALevelInBadass: On Lyoko, William's sword, while not so-BFS anymore, is not only lighter but even ''more'' powerful than in the original series. While in Season 4, William's swords attacks weren't always OneHitKill (A Krab survived having it's legs cut in episode 69 and Odd survived a direct blow in episode 79), ''every single one'' of his successful sword attacks is an instant kill in Evolution.
120	* TookALevelInJerkass: William in the original series could be a bit aggressive toward Ulrich when it was about Yumi, but was otherwise a relatively nice guy before XANA possessed him. Here, however, he is bitter about not being accepted by the Lyoko Warriors, leading him to act a bit unsympathetic on occasions. Even after being back on the team, he still acts a lot more antagonistic toward Ulrich than he used to. This is toned down starting with episode 6, but he still has some moments of being a big jerk, this is likely due to how long William spent as X.A.N.A's [[TheDragon unwilling minion]] throughout Season 4 of the original series.
121	* TookALevelInKindness: Conversely, William's nice moments are surprisingly better than in the original series. Highlights includes the entire episode 6, [[PetTheDog his aforementioned behavior towards Laura]], his friendship with Ulrich (this is especially notable in "Friday the 13th" where both of them are having fun against the Mantas) and he lost his StalkerWithACrush tendencies. His relationship with Yumi has significantly improved as well, as lampshaded by [[http://web.archive.org/web/20190921090825/http://www.lyokofreak.net/index.php?page=showcase&showcase=boundaries that article on William and rape culture]].
122	* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Understandably considering [[BrainwashedAndCrazy his past experience]], he is absolutely terrified when he finds himself confronted with the Scyphozoa alone for a second time, to the point he begs Laura to immediately devirtualize him, and tries to do it himself when she fails to follow his request.

126	!!Laura Gauthier
127	[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/LauraCLE_7524.gif]]
128	->Played by: Pauline Serieys
129
130	A NewTransferStudent introduced in "Madame Einstein". Laura is basically a feminine alter-ego of Jérémie -- she's a giant nerd and a big fan of video games (programming them, not playing them). She's curious and ambitious, and slowly integrates herself into the group, causing Aelita to grow jealous of her.
131	----
132	* AudienceSurrogate: The main reason she was added to the cast was to create a character that would be unfamiliar with Lyoko and ask questions to the main cast, allowing the new watchers unfamiliar with ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'' to catch up.
133	* BadLiar: While every Lyoko-warrior is known for being bad liars, Laura is the worst by far. When Mr. Graven does interviews in episode 17, trying to track down people with knowledge of quantum physics through the use of a test, Laura lies about the subject only to correctly answer a following question which would require expertise in it. It doesn't take him long to get to her after that, though Aelita steps in before she agrees to anything.
134	* BatmanGambit: In episode 12, Laura brings her father to the factory, expecting the rest of the team to launch a Return to the Past to erase her father's memory and the damage caused by XANA's attacks, thus preventing her father from forcibly removing her from Kadic. Her plan works.
135	* CanonForeigner: She is newly created for this live-action sequel series.
136	* DistaffCounterpart: An entirely assumed feminine version of Jérémie, to which Odd notices.
137	* EducationMama: Her father is quite insistent that she get a good education, to the point of wanting to move her to another school simply because Kadic is suffering from a computer glitch their staff cannot fix (XANA was attacking the system).
138	* EmotionsVersusStoicism: Jérémie versus Laura in this series. Jérémie relies on his friends as much as his friends rely on him, and as such are a very tight-knit team. However Laura shows no empathy for Aelita's lost parents, relies too much on statistics and reasoning and logic to get by, and thinks all of them are blinded by their emotions when they could end XANA forever, and see's Aelita's mother being lost forever as a necessary sacrifice.
139	* FreudianExcuse: Her father is very demanding and is essentially her without her redeeming qualities. No wonder she turned out to be so condescending.
140	* HeKnowsTooMuch: Inverted; because they're heroes, the fact that Laura knows about Lyoko and can't have her mind wiped means they ''have'' to keep her close by.
141	* IdiotBall: Becomes this in episode 22, as despite being superior to Aelita in terms of smarts, she is unable to program the Megapod.
142	* InsufferableGenius: Not to the point of arrogance, but she does tend to be a bit condescending; "It's simple" or "a child could do it" are her common answers to a problem Jérémie and Aelita fail to solve.
143	* {{Jerkass}}: She is insufferable, smug even when she's supposed to be helping and has no problem [[KickTheDog taking her feud with Aelita to outright mockery over her father being gone, implying Hopper favored his work over her]] (which Aelita fires back and says that's not true at all, and she shuts her up with the [[HeroicSacrifice actual explanation]] in ten seconds flat). [[spoiler:In "Mutiny", not only does she show no remorse when her actions almost led William to be turned into XANA's slave again, but she actually ''keeps'' blaming the Lyoko-Warriors for letting their emotions get the best of them, a move that gets Laura banned from the group and turning her into a hated enemy going forward.]]
144	* LackOfEmpathy: Throughout the series, she actively manipulates the group, bugs up the Return to the Past so that it would be less effective on her, is one third of a LoveTriangle between Aelita and Jérémie, actively mocks Aelita's heritage and willingness to see her parents, and manipulates William via his own emotional insecurity about being left out of the group, and they agree to mutiny against the group, which ends up getting William taken over by XANA briefly.
145	* LaserGuidedAmnesia: A greater example than most other cases in the show. When using the supercompouter the first time, she puts two and two together, and modifies the Return to the Past to be less effective on her, instead giving her flashbacks to her time in the lab. This leads onto her being a SixthRanger, and becomes an increasingly annoying one at that, and after all her schemes put her on a tighter leash to restrict her access to the lab. [[spoiler:After an ill-conceived attempt to destroy XANA in "Mutiny" which nearly got William turned back into XANA's servant, Jérémie informs Laura that he's updated the Return to the Past so he has greater control over it, and in this case, to only work on her, which erases all of her memories of the factory, effectively kicking her out of the group.]]
146	* ManipulativeBitch:
147	** In "Chaos in Kadic", she lures her father to the factory in order to force the heroes to launch a Return to the Past.
148	** [[spoiler:In "Mutiny", she convinces William to help her in her scheme to act behind the Lyoko Warriors' back by playing on his feelings of rejection from Yumi.]]
149	* NeverMyFault: After [[spoiler:her attempt to deal with XANA herself goes horribly wrong and nearly gets William captured and almost reconverted back into XANA's minion, rather than admit she was wrong she blames the others for not having her vision. It's likely this more than anything that convinces the others that she needs to be kicked out.]]
150	* NewTransferStudent: She transfers to Kadic early in the series.
151	* RippleEffectProofMemory: Laura gets this by first tampering with the Return to the Past to make it less effective on her, and later gets it fully when scanned into the super computer. [[spoiler:Jérémie revokes this privelege in "Mutiny" after updating the RTTP to fix her malicious code, and only target her for once.]]
152	* TheRival: She and Aelita ''hate'' each other, in part because they fill similar roles on the team, and the negative air between the two just gets worse as the season goes on. Because of an early return to the past Laura is unaware of why Aelita was initially antagonistic towards her, but she soon turns very nasty in response.
153	* SixthRanger: As of "Virus", much to the Lyoko Warriors' dismay.
154	* SixthRangerTraitor: [[spoiler:In "Mutiny", when she acts behind the team's back, effectively making her an enemy to the team on a permanent basis.]]
155	* TheSpock: {{Deconstructed}} in "Mutiny". ''Heavily'' so.
156	-->'''Laura:''' They are blinded by their emotions, [[spoiler:William]]. We have to take the decision for them.
157	* StalkerWithACrush: It's implied that the reason she shadowed the gang everywhere in her first appearance was because she had a thing for Jeremie, right down to making {{Freudian Slip}}s when talking to him. This gets lampshaded by Odd, who also implies this is the reason initially Aelita disliked her. It's [[AvertedTrope dropped]] in later appearances, which focus more on her interest in the technology.
158	* SuperPowersForADay: Averted. She almost got to become a warrior on Lyoko in episode 13 [[spoiler:but was stopped when Odd managed to repair the ''Skid'' courtesy of Aelita's help.]]
159	* TheTeamNormal: Similar to Jérémie, being a non-combatant[=/=]secondary MissionControl. [[spoiler:She almost gets virtualized in "Betting on Odd" as a last resort, but Aelita thought up a solution that negated the need. Laura was somewhat annoyed at being denied the chance.]]
160	* TeenGenius: At first, it is implied she is smarter than Jérémie. [[spoiler:Later episodes shows Jérémie is still in first place, however (episode 12 for example) and most notably in "Mutiny" where he reprograms the Return to the Past specifically to target Laura.]]
161	* TokenEvilTeammate: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] and later [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]]. She's a {{Jerkass}}, she's cunning and often works behind the heroes' back. That said, she still helps them in their fight against XANA. However, she's more and more alienated from the team due to that. On top of that, [[spoiler:her scheme in ''Mutiny'' leads to her being kicked out of the group, effectively making her an enemy to the group.]]
162	* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:Once she's had her memories erased, she finds the card for Tyron's company she kept when Mr. Graven stopped by. Upon contacting him, Tyron showed her pictures of the gang's Lyoko avatars, allowing him to identify them and figure out that they all go to Kadic, setting Laura up to be a full fledged enemy to the group.]]
163	* WellIntentionedExtremist: In "Mutiny", [[spoiler:she decides to act behind the team's back, manipulating William into helping her, in order to destroy XANA. Her concern was well-founded, but she decided to put priority on XANA's destruction over the others' promise to find Aelita's mother, said priority got her kicked out from the group on a permanent basis.]]
164	* XanatosGambit: In "Chaos in Kadic", she played with her father's interest in technology to bring him to the factory and get him off her back. Here, she gets to win in any situation : her father either leaves her be as such, or the Lyoko-warriors uses the ResetButton, ending with her father forgetting everything.
165	* XanatosSpeedChess: In "Virus", she hacks the Return to the Past just after overhearing the heroes mentioning she's going to be kicked out. In "Chaos in Kadic", when her father is insistent about her leaving Kadic, she lures him to the factory in order to force the heroes to launch the Return to the Past, thus erasing his memories and the damage caused by XANA's attacks.

171
172	The main antagonist of ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko''. He has been resurrected and is using source codes implanted in the Lyoko Warriors to regain his strength. What he plans to do once he has regained his power is unknown, but is likely to resume his old goal to TakeOverTheWorld from before.
173	----
174	* BackFromTheDead: Though all his Replikas were destroyed in the previous series, he survived by hiding inside a quantum supercomputer of similar design to the one hosting Lyoko, but did not naturally hold any of his programming, enabling him to dodge the program meant to kill him, albeit at the cost of losing of said Replikas and being stuck in the Cortex.
175	* BigBadEnsemble: With Professor Tyron. He has no idea of XANA's existence, and XANA is forced to use the Cortex as his new, limited base of operations, resulted in Tyron sometimes creating updates that hinder XANA.
176	* TheBadGuyWins: Technically speaking. Having managed to kill Hopper, one can say he accomplished his goal from Season 4 of the original series. At the same time, [[PyrrhicVictory it resulted in him being stuck in a singular supercomputer with all of his Replikas destroyed and his powers diminished]]. That being said, slowly but surely, he manages to gain his strength back, and while the series ends with him only at 95% due to the Lyoko Warriors finally implanting a virus to destroy the Cortex, Tyron's immediate shutdown of his supercomputer to stop it essentially means that XANA is pretty much ready to try again once Tyron configures an anti-virus to stop it, still ignorant of XANA's presence.
177	* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: Due to the Lyoko Warriors holding his source code, as detailed in SoulJar, he literally can't kill them this time around.
178	* SealedEvilInACan: Has ended up in this scenario [[BookEnd once again]], with the Cortex's supercomputer acting as the can. He intends to escape by absorbing the source codes he implanted in the Lyoko Warriors.
179	* SoulJar: He is using the Lyoko Warriors as this, having somehow managed to implant a copy of his source code into them sans Jeremie and William that he intends to drain to regain his power. This means he can't actually kill them, as he needs their codes to be back at full power, meaning his usual powerset is off the table for a variety of reasons. One can consider the Cortex to be this as well, as he's currently forced to rely on it to survive.

185	->Played by: Hugues Massignat
186	->''"You are a naive man, Mr. Hopper..."''
187
188	A man introduced at the end of "Compte à Rebours", assumed by the Lyoko Warriors to be responsible for the creation of the Cortex. He used to work with Franz Hopper after the Carthage Project, but betrayed him at some point by using part of his research without his permission. In the present day, he is still involved with the Cortex, and is responsible for dispatching the Ninjas to deal with the incursions of the Lyoko Warriors.
189	----
190	* ArchnemesisDad: [[spoiler:We eventually find out that he has married Athena Hopper, thus making him Aelita's step-father.]]
191	* CanonForeigner: He is newly created for the live-action sequel series.
192	* DecompositeCharacter: In the original backstory, [[http://cdal.over-blog.com/article-interview-sophie-decroisette-partie-2-122910086.html an interview]] confirms that a character known as The Scientist was Franz Hopper's ultimate enemy and responsible for everything that has gone wrong. Tyron checks the first box, but all evidence in the series timeline points him simply as a scientific human antagonist to Franz rather than his {{Archenemy}}.
193	* EvilCounterpart: To Franz Hopper, as he's using Hopper's research for (as-yet undefined) nefarious purposes. He's also one to Jérémie, being the smart guy behind the operation and [[spoiler:sends in his own team of humans into the virtual world]].
194	* FailedASpotCheck: [[spoiler:Despite XANA openly sending out his monsters into the Cortex to fight ''both'' the Lyoko Warriors and the Ninjas, Tyron seems to think nothing of it.]]
195	* GenreBlind: [[spoiler:He doesn't think XANA is real, despite evidence to the contrary. Even when his Ninjas fight through an army of Tarantulas and Krabs, Tyron seems insistent on denying that his supercomputer has been infected with a world-destroying multi-agent system.]]
196	* GogglesDoNothing: Possibly. He sports a pair of them on his head, yet all we've ever seen him do is look at computer screens. It's unknown if they actually have a purpose.
197	* MadScientist: He certainly ''looks'' the part, and Yumi points out his ObviouslyEvil nature later in the series.
198	* MysteriousPast: His full history with Hopper and potentially Project Carthage is unknown. We also don't know [[spoiler:how he found Anthea, and how he forced her to marry him.]]
199	* PredecessorVillain: Seems to be this, as he was apparently there when Hopper was working on Lyoko or Carthage.
200	* PurpleIsPowerful: Subverted; his Towers, when activated, take on a purple glow, but seem to cause the Tower to fade away.
201	* SmugSnake: He's quite convinced he's got everything under control. The Lyoko Warriors on the other hand, consider him more of an annoyance due to his blocking of their attempts to finish off XANA for good.
202	* SpannerInTheWorks: The timing of when he first got the Cortex online is unknown, but it's thanks to Tyron that XANA was able to survive his defeat in the original series. [[spoiler:Especially because he's completely ignorant of XANA's existence, making the timing convenient for XANA and unfortunate for the Lyoko Warriors.]]
203	* TheyCallMeMisterTibbs: "That's ''Professor'' Tyron."
204	* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:His ignorance of XANA's existence allows XANA to work from his supercomputer with impunity, barring Tyron's occasional act that inconveniences him. Even worse, his shutdown of the supercomputer at the end of the series to stop a virus the Lyoko Warriors tried to infect it with means that he gave XANA a ''third'' chance to make a comeback, hence why the series does not end with XANA's loss.]]
205	* VillainyFreeVillain: How the Lyoko Warriors view him up until the series finale and how he seems to operate. They have no problem with the Cortex or even what he's doing (it's even indicated that his work is legitimate), the problem is that his supercomputer enabled XANA to avoid the multi-agent system from killing him and give the virus a chance to make a comeback. This only starts fading in the finale when it's revealed that he [[spoiler:married Anthea specifically to get his hands on programs Waldo left behind in-between his work on Carthage and Lyoko]], showing that he may have more malignant intentions in mind.
206	* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Downplayed as we don't see much of his work beyond the Cortex and he's a bit obscure in the public eye in France, but his research facility is legitimate, as shown through the brochures Graven gives to Laura.
207	* WrongGenreSavvy: Tyron thinks Aelita is the prodigal daughter returning to take back everything he stole from her father, and [[spoiler:get her mother out of his grasp]]. But while she does [[spoiler:care about finding her mother]], the group have no problem with his system at all except for the fact that [[spoiler:XANA is using it to attack the world]]. [[ItsAllAboutMe He refuses to believe that the plot isn't about him,]] and it's especially obvious when [[spoiler:he and Aelita meet face to face]] that he has little idea of what's really going on.

213
214	A new type of enemy that guards the core of the Cortex. Unlike XANA's monsters, they're humanoid.
215	----
216	* {{Cyclops}}: Their head sports a lone, big luminous eye. Because they're slightly transparent, it can also be seen from every angle.
217	* DualWielding: All of them wield black-bladed swords.
218	* EliteMooks: They are far superior to XANA's monsters in combat ability, being an even match for the heroes one-on-one, [[spoiler:because they aren't just machines]].
219	* EvilCounterpart: To the heroes, being a small group of highly-skilled opponents [[spoiler:that also happen to be real people]]. Unlike the heroes however, who all have individual avatars, the Ninjas [[spoiler:do not use virtualization to get to the virtual world, but rather specialized suits that seem to take in their profile and upload the mind into a basic template.]]
220	* {{Foil}}: To XANA's monsters; whereas the monsters usually have different foibles in their individual types, but at the same time, fight as basic programs, the Ninjas all possess the same template, but in exchange, [[spoiler:as human beings]], have much greater ability to think on their feet despite the general uniformity in their powers.
221	* HandBlast: A pair of them fire beams from their hands that allow them to telekinetically hold whatever they hit, and potentially keep the targets stuck on the Cortex rather than devirtualize.
222	* ParryingBullets: They are able to deflect Odd's rapid-fire arrows with ease, and knock Yumi's thrown fans back at her.
223	* SicklyGreenGlow: All of them have dull-green outlines and unlike the heroes, when devirtualized, their forms fade away in green pixels as opposed to blue. Their abilities likewise, all have green as a color.
224	* SuperSpeed: One is shown to keep pace with the Megapod by activating some kind of aura, but it wears off after a short period.
225	* TheVoiceless: They remain completely silent and never once make conversation with the Lyoko Warriors.
226	* WeaponTwirling: Some of them indulge in this.

238	* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Actually bears a striking resemblance to Jim in the animated original series, just with less of a gut.
239	* LargeHam:
240	-->'''Jim:''' ÇA S'APPELLE LE CYBER-SPORT!!
241	* PluckyComicRelief: Some things just don't change.
242	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: A notable evolution compared to his original series counterpart, this Jim actually has more reasonable and understanding reactions toward the students. For example, he's not really upset when Odd, who's talking gibberish as a result of a Spectre attack, makes off with his cell phone, assuming the poor kid simply buckled under the stress, and even decides to talk about it to Delmas so they can do something to help students be more healthy.
243	* RunningGag: The return of the joke of what his many jobs were, and that he'd rather not talk about them.
244	* TookALevelInKindness: While he still has a tendency to give detention quickly, this version of Jim acts less aggressive than his original series counterpart and is less quick to get angry. "Compte à rebours" even has him worrying about the students' health and go to talk about it with Mr. Delmas.

269	* AdaptationalDyeJob: Her hair goes from black to blonde.
270	* CallBack: In episode 21 "False Pretenses", Sissi once again poses as a Lyoko-warrior at the heroes' request. She successfully fools a spectre, however, unlike "Missing Link" from the original series where she was found out.
271	* DemotedToExtra: Only has a speaking role in episodes 9 and 21.
272	* LovableAlphaBitch: Episode 21 details this, showing despite being often inconsiderate, she really is friends with the gang (a development made in the previous series' finale) and likes to hang out with Yumi and Aelita to do girly things.
273	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Odd knows something is wrong with Sissi when she actually apologizes for bumping into him since, despite being on friendly terms now, [[SlapSlapKiss they've kept their old dynamic up.]] Unfortunately, this causes him to wrongly assume she is a Spectre.
274	* TookALevelInKindness: Any traces of the bully she once was in the original series is no more here, leaving only an abrasive, clingy, but well-meaning girl.

282	* AdaptationDyeJob: Blonde here, pink-haired like Aelita in the previous series. It's possible she dyed her hair, but it's not confirmed.
283	* MissingMom: Just like in the previous series... until episode 18, that is. [[spoiler:She's alive and working with Professor Tyron.]]
284	* MysteriousPast: [[spoiler:Working with Tyron has only made Anthea's background even ''more'' complicated. How did she end up with him? How did she escape from the Men in Black, or are they the reason she's with Tyron? Why is she working with him? Likewise, she's revealed to have had access to an archive of her late husband's work that Tyron obtained from her. Ultimately, the series ends before we gain any of these answers.]]
285	* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:Seems to be this, as she's working with someone who may or may not have more ulterior motives with the Cortex, and seems to trust him fully...then again, we don't get enough screen time from her perspective to really tell, so it's a bit of an AmbiguousSituation for now.]]

292
293	Franz Hopper is the creator of the supercomputer, and Aelita's father. There is a picture of him stored in the Cortex.
294	----
295	* AdaptationalAttractiveness: As with most of the core cast, he bears resemblance to his animated counterpart. Unlike the others however, it's quite a strong one, as his actor does look quite a lot like him, retaining the beard, hairstyle, even his clothing is unchanged from the original series too (Jim is the closest to this status). In fact, the only real outlier here is the lack of tinted shades, and wears regular NerdGlasses instead.
296	* BrokenPedestal: To Aelita, when she finds out the Cortex might have been created by him. [[spoiler:[[DefiedTrope She ends up deciding it cannot be so, since while the supercomputers are similar, the Cortex is nothing like Lyoko]], and is later proven right.]]
297	* PosthumousCharacter: He performed a HeroicSacrifice in the original series, and unlike his previous ones, he's dead for good in this series.
