9!The Heroes
10[[folder:[=WordGirl=] / Becky Botsford]]
11[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/capture_274.PNG]]
12 [[caption-width-right:350:Word up!]]
13->''"I wasn't born on this planet, but this is my home now. And if you think you're just gonna come down here and take it over... well, you're gonna have to go through me to do it!"''
14->'''Voiced by:''' Dannah Phirman
15The main protagonist of the show, if the [[ProtagonistTitle title didn't tip you off]]. She is from the planet Lexicon but crashed to Earth as a baby, where she was adopted by the Botsfords. As the 10-year-old (later 11-year-old) superheroine [=WordGirl=], she defends Fair City with her superpowers and exceptional vocabulary.
16----
17* SixtiesHair: She wears her hair in a flip, befitting the show's RetroUniverse.
18* AchillesHeel: She is hopeless at art, poetry, music, singing, dancing... and [[KryptoniteFactor Lexonite]].
19* AlienAmongUs: She is an alien from planet Lexicon.
20* AllGirlsLikePonies: She is a major fan of "The Pretty Princess and Magic Pony Power Hour", she has a collection of porcelain unicorns and even a unicorn poster on her bedroom wall.
21* AlliterativeName: '''B'''ecky '''B'''otsford. No surprise there considering her similarities to Superman.
22* AmbiguouslyBrown: Justified, since that's what the creator of the show was really shooting for. Interestingly enough, her ''adoptive'' family is a ''different shade'' of ambiguous brown.
23%%* AnIcePerson[=/=]BreathWeapon
24* BadassAdorable: As powerful a superhero as she is, she's still a little girl who loves ponies and other cute girly things.
25* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: She can breathe just fine in space.
26* BeingGoodSucks: Becky frequently misses fun events in her life because of her crime fighting. It even leads her to wish that [=WordGirl=] didn't exist in "A World Without [=WordGirl=]".
27* BerserkButton:
28** [=WordGirl=] can't stand it when words are used incorrectly. Especially on purpose.
29** Improper diction is a major pet peeve of hers. She quickly loses her patience with Eileen due to the latter's ElmuhFuddSyndwome.
30** She gets enraged every time someone breaks her favorite unicorn, Angel Face.
31** Do not keep her from watching "The Pretty Princess and Magic Pony Power Hour" if you know what's good for you.
32* BrainyBrunette: [=WordGirl=] knows the definition of every word that exists.
33* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: Whenever she transforms into [=WordGirl=], she cries out, "Word up!"
34* CallingYourAttacks: She does this frequently. "Monkey Throw!"
35* ChestInsignia: A star inside a pentagon.
36* ClarkKenting: She doesn't wear a mask or change her voice, yet no one connects Becky Botsford and [=WordGirl=] together. In "[=WordGirl=] Makes a Mistake," Becky tells both Mr. Botsford and T.J. her [[SuperHeroOrigin origin story]]. They [[CassandraTruth don't believe her]].
37* CrazyPrepared: [=WordGirl=] and Huggy have 999 different emergency plans.
38* CutenessProximity: To kittens, unicorns, and other stereotypical cute things.
39* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: In the earliest "Amazing Colossal Adventures of [=WordGirl=]" shorts, she has a noticeable bust. Subsequent shorts and the series make her more obviously prepubescent by giving her a flat chest.
40* EnemyMine: Has her moments of teaming up with her enemies to take down other foes. She once even lampshaded one of the said instances herself.
41* {{Expy}}: Her origin and powers are very similar to that of ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}.
42* FailureHeroine: Miss Power seems to consider her this; while trying to BreakHerByTalking, she tells her she thinks she's a loser plus a failure. [[TheGoodGuysAlwaysWin She's wrong]].
43* {{Flanderization}}: Her arrogance seems to be at a premium in Season 3.
44%%* {{Flight}}
45* FlyingBrick: She has {{Flight}}, SuperStrength, and NighInvulnerability, among other powers.
46%%* ForgotAboutHerPowers: Even she's not immune to this occasionally.
47%%* GeniusBruiser
48* HappilyAdopted: While being the only member of her family that seems to remember that she's adopted, Becky shows no inclination to find her real parents. It's also extremely easy for the viewers to forget she's adopted (aside from the opening theme singing she's "from the planet Lexicon") since it's rarely mentioned and she's very close to her family.
49* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Her vocabulary.
50%%* TheHeroine
51* HeroWithBadPublicity: Unfortunately, despite being adored throughout Fair City, she happens to become a pariah by the villains a few times, such as "Down with Word Up", "Swap Meat", "Tiny Big", "I Think I'm a Clone Now", "Bonkers for Bingo", "Wrong Side of the Law", "Crime in the Key of V", and "Royally Framed".
52* HumanAliens: Looks like an ordinary human despite being an alien.
53* InsecureProtagonistArrogantAntagonist: Inverted when it comes to her and Chuck. Becky is rather prideful and arrogant, and Chuck can get disappointed with himself and is more humble.
54* InsufferableGenius: When it comes to vocabulary, she prides on defining them correctly.
55* KidHero: She's 12 years old and goes around defending the city as a superheroine. Deconstructed though, as she sometimes finds that BeingGoodSucks and sees the superheroing as a job rather than her real self. It's almost lucky that the only time something happens while Becky is at school is when the scheme itself is at the school.
56* KryptoniteFactor: Lexonite, a mineral from her home planet and a parody of kryptonite. It takes away her powers, drains her energy, and [[ArsonMurderandJaywalking makes her misuse and mispronounce words]].
57* LittleMissBadass: The fact she isn't even twelve yet doesn't stop her from being a powerful superheroine.
58* LivingWithTheVillain: Despite her being TheHeroine, she goes to the same school as [[EnfantsTerribles Tobey and Victoria]].
59%%* NighInvulnerability
60* ObliviousToLove: Her awareness of Tobey's crush fluctuates from episode to episode.
61* OnlySaneWoman: Is often annoyed at how dumb the townspeople frequently are.
62* PaperThinDisguise: Her superheroine outfit doesn't cover her face at all, making it blatantly obvious that Becky and [=WordGirl=] are the same person.
63* ProtagonistTitle: She's TheHeroine and she's got her name in the title.
64* RedIsHeroic: Her superheroine suit is mostly red in color.
65* SecretIdentity: Keeps her heroine side a secret from everyone, even from her adoptive family.
66* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Rather subverted, since Becky has a great vocabulary, but seems to prefer being understood rather than showing off. One episode even has her telling a villain it's more important to use the "right" word than the biggest.
67* SpeaksFluentAnimal: Apparently Captain [=HuggyFace=] isn't the only primate she's able to understand, as in "[[Recap/WordGirlS8E3WorldsBestDadTheGoodOldBadOldDays World's Best Dad]]" she's able to translate General Smoochington's gorilla noises to her dad.
68* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: Sometimes she can lift and punch out giant robots and twist metal girders into scrap. Other times she can be restrained by ordinary people or objects. Justified, as she mentions in one episode that she holds back deliberately for dramatic effect.
69* SuperheroesWearCapes: A superheroine who wears a yellow cape.
70* SuperpowerLottery: Besides her vocabulary, she has the ability to [[{{Flight}} fly]], [[SuperStrength pick up objects that are much heavier than she is]], and [[SuperHearing hear sounds from far away]], among others.
71* SuperBreath: Miss Power teaches her how to do this.
72* SuperHearing: She can hear people talking from miles away, which often sends her into action as [=WordGirl=] when she hears anybody who needs help.
73%%* SuperSpeed
74* SuperStrength: She's picked up objects much bigger than she is on several occasions, and at one point [[WeInterruptThisProgram during a public TV broadcast to all villains in Fair City]] she makes her point to not be disturbed for the next few hours by casually twisting a metal girder into knots.
75* TerribleArtist: She cannot create good artwork to save Fair City.
76* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tomboy to Violet's Girly Girl. Though Becky has her own feminine hobbies and interests, she's more action oriented than Violet.
77* UpUpAndAway: Her standard flight pose.
78* WeaksauceWeakness: [=WordGirl=] isn't so much defeated by a cute little kitten, but rather [[CutenessProximity easily distracted by one]]. She also compensates for her language abilities by showing a complete lack of competence in art, poetry, and dance.
79* WillfullyWeak: It's rare for her to use her full power.

82[[folder:Captain Huggyface / Bob]]
83[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/huggy_official_art.png]]
84 [[caption-width-right:350:]]
85An intelligent chimpanzee from space who once famously served in the Lexicon Air Force, but after a mishap in space ended up on Earth with an infant [=WordGirl=]. He was then adopted into the Botsford family as their pet and fights alongside [=WordGirl=] as her loyal sidekick.
86----
87* AcePilot: Is the only one to ever pilot [=WordGirl=]'s spaceship hideout, which is technically his ship.
88* AlienAmongUs: He came from Lexicon like [=WordGirl=]
89* ApesInSpace: He's a chimp, from space.
90* BadassAdorable: He's a cute little monkey but also a crime fighter.
91* BigEater: He's able to eat the entire contents of the Meat Dimension, where the Butcher's meat powers come from. An ''entire dimension''.
92* BlueIsHeroic: He wears a blue shirt as part of his superhero outfit.
93%%* BreakTheHaughty: "The Rise of Miss Power" and "Monkey Business".
94* ButtMonkey: Not as bad as The Amazing Rope Guy, but he's usually the Botsford who finds himself at the end of most jokes, usually poking fun at the fact that he's a monkey or not nearly as powerful as [=WordGirl=].
95* CivilizedAnimal: Is seen walking around casually as Bob and as Huggy. He even attends Becky's school.
96* DependingOnTheWriter: Just what exactly he's capable of varies between episodes; some episodes have him capable of taking out Fair City's number #1 villain and his hired help or The Butcher all by himself while other episodes have him unable to handle Leslie, Beatrice, or even an unarmed Tobey.
97* DudeWheresMyRespect: Absolutely no one gets his name right, or even his ''species'' right, constantly being referred to as a hairy man, a chipmunk, an otter, an ocelot, or even a hamster. Even [=WordGirl=] forgets about Huggy now and then when flying off, forcing him to catch the bus home. One episode shows that [=WordGirl=] has left Huggy after battle multiple times in places like an abandoned lair with a laser beam about to go off, deep in the ocean, or in the arctic with some yetis. And for most of that episode [=WordGirl=] abandons Huggy in the outskirts of town and completely forgets about him for the entire day while he's fleeing for his life from an upset Chuck. On top of that, no villain takes him seriously as a crime fighter, usually scoffing at or dismissing him when he arrives alone. Even Chuck, who has no self-esteem, thinks a fight with Huggy will be an easy win for him.
98* TheEngineer: Can be seen tinkering around the ship, and has even built his own tube slide exit on it.
99* FormallyNamedPet: As Captain [=HuggyFace=]. As Bob not so much.
100* TheGoodCaptain: He is the captain of the ship that brought Becky to Earth.
101* HypercompetentSidekick: While just how competent a crime fighter he is [[DependingOnTheWriter depends on the writing]], he has shown that he is fairly competent as a hero on his own when needed.
102* IntellectualAnimal: Is very intelligent for a chimp, and while [=WordGirl=] has more book smarts than him, it's made pretty clear that he's the emotionally mature one of the pair.
103* KillerRabbit: While he looks like a harmless civilized chimp, he's been able to beat The Butcher, Two-Brains, and his henchmen all on his own.
104* MoralityPet: On those rare times [=WordGirl=] does something wrong out of selfishness or rage, Huggy is usually the one to set her straight.
105* NonHumanSidekick: Well, technically neither of them is human, to begin with ([=WordGirl=] is a {{human alien|s}}), but still.
106* PaperThinDisguise: It should be pretty obvious that he's Captain [=HuggyFace=]. Then again, [[DudeWheresMyRespect no one seems to pay attention to him as Bob ''or'' Captain [=HuggyFace=]]].
107* SecretKeeper: The only one who knows of Becky's identity as [=WordGirl=].
108* {{Sidekick}}: He's [=WordGirl's=] sidekick, though he likes to consider his and [=WordGirl's=] work a team effort.
109* SilentSnarker: Usually sighs or rolls his eyes when Becky does something he finds silly or disapproves of.
110* SpeechImpairedAnimal: Sorta. He squeaks and makes typical monkey noises, but he is clearly communicating. However, only Becky can understand him.
111* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: Some episodes like "Book Ends" have Captain [=HuggyFace=] strong enough to take out multiple of Tobey's robots, and in "Mr. Big", he's even strong enough to overpower ''[=WordGirl=]'', but other episodes, like "By Jove, You've Wrecked My Robot!", have him unable to take out even one of Tobey's robots or even get beaten by a non-super-powered Lady Redundant Woman.
112* TrueCompanions: Has been with Becky since the very beginning, sacrificing his life as an air force pilot to look after her on Earth, doing his best to make sure Becky's happy and safe. Likewise, Becky usually goes to Bob when she needs advice, and he's the only person (or monkey) she trusts with her secret identity.
113* TuftOfHeadFur: He has a few tufts that stick out above his forehead.
114* UndyingLoyalty: No matter how bad the odds may be, if [=WordGirl=] is ever in any kind of danger he'll gladly sacrifice himself for her cause.
115* TheUnintelligible: He can only be understood by Becky. However, TJ appears to have an understanding of his "language" in "The Homerun King", and Violet does too in "The Fill-In".
116[[/folder]]
117
118[[folder:The Narrator]]
119->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChrisParnell
120The Narrator of the story can freely interact with the characters. He is biased toward the heroes, so he often assists them by giving advice, like telling [=WordGirl=] where to find the villain she's after.
121----
122%%* DeadpanSnarker
123* FirstPersonSmartass: The Narrator refers to himself in the first person, and often offers his own (usually unsolicited) opinion on what's happening. Once, when Two-Brains is humiliating Tobey, he joins in.
124-->'''Two-Brains:''' We all know you're just stalling because you have a silly schoolboy crush on [[=WordGirl=]]!\
125'''Tobey:''' Wh- I do ''not''!\
126'''Narrator:''' Do too, do too!\
127'''Tobey:''' ''You stay out of this!''
128* InteractiveNarrator: He talks to characters all the time. In "Have Snob, Will Travel", [=WordGirl=] tries directly asking the Narrator where The Butcher went since after all, she knows that he knows. The Narrator refuses because, after all, there are formal (one of the featured words) rules that they're supposed to follow regarding this sort of thing. [=WordGirl=] manages to get the one-up on him anyway.
129%%* LemonyNarrator
130* TheOmniscient: He can see everything at once and even read minds, but the level of his omniscience varies according to the plot.
131[[/folder]]
132
133!The Villains
134[[folder:All]]
135The antagonists that battle [=WordGirl=] daily.
136----
137* EvenEvilHasStandards: One of the rules is that they can't mind control each other without permission.
138* EvilIsOneBigHappyFamily: Despite their differences, they have shown to care for each other as a whole, and occasionally band together under a common cause. They also even do this when a villain steps out of line, like Miss Question in ''Where Have All the Villains Gone?'' and Mr. Big in ''Mr. Big's Mini-Golf''. The most notable example is when every single one of Wordgirl's villains, (minus Amazing Rope Guy) join forces to stop Miss Power.
139* OutOfFocus: Due to there being too many villains to focus on in one season, some of them get this depending on the season.
140[[/folder]]
141
142[[folder:Doctor Two-Brains / Professor Steven Boxleitner]]
143[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/e2689cc9_ed5c_4af0_9eef_48c055d77ecc.png]]
144 [[caption-width-right:250:Fair City's #1 Villain]]
145->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TomKenny
146He used to be a benevolent scientist who assisted [=WordGirl=], but a FreakLabAccident merged his brain with that of an evil lab mouse, turning him into an unhinged scientist whose only goals in life are to eat cheese and to cause as much destruction as possible.
147----
148* AbsentMindedProfessor: As Prof. Boxleitner. It's what changed him into Dr. Two-Brains!
149* AbsurdPhobia: Cats. [[JustifiedTrope Makes sense]], he's part mouse. To a lesser extent, clowns and spiders.
150* AffablyEvil: Often has very positive interactions with [=WordGirl=], including stopping in the middle of an evil speech to allow her to explain words, complimenting her on various things, teaming up with her temporarily, and even giving her advice on life issues. Occasionally they reminisce about their past friendship, most notably in "A Game of Cat and Mouse" and "Showdown in the Secret Spaceship Hideout".
151* BigBad: He's without a doubt the main antagonist of the entire series.
152* BodyAndHost: It's been explored in the show that Dr. Two-Brains, Steven Boxleitner, and Squeaky all exist within one body, with Dr. Two-Brains usually at the front. In "Mouse Brain Take-Over", he allows Squeaky to be in control of the body, which causes him to be far more evil and ruthless than usual.
153* BodyHorror: Squeaky's brain is not actually inside Doctor Two-Brains' head, but just hanging on the side of his head. He even regularly touches it with no ill effect on him.
154* BrainyBrunette: When he was still Professor Boxleitner.
155* ChildHater: Somewhat. Specifically [=WordGirl=] and Tobey.
156* ComfortFood: Cheese, most notably in "The Ballad of Steve [=McClean=]" and "A Game of Cat And Mouse".
157* ComplexityAddiction: An entire episode, "A Simple Plan", revolves around his inability to make a simple plan -- he just cannot help himself and adds more and more steps.
158* DeadpanSnarker: Has a sarcastic and witty sense of humor.
159* DrBrainpart: [[MeaningfulName Dr. Two-Brains has two brains merged into one]].
160* EinsteinHair: After becoming Dr. Two-Brains.
161* EvenEvilHasStandards:
162** He is against causing extreme pain to others.
163** He's against stealing from other villains, as he considers it uncreative and shameful.
164** Even he doesn't approve of Miss Power, the trash-talking supervillainess introduced in "The Rise of Miss Power".
165%%* EvilGenius
166* EvilLaugh: And a great one at that.
167* EvilSoundsRaspy: His voice got noticeably raspier after he became Two-Brains, and even more so when Squeaky was in charge of his body.
168* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: He's a doctor and he has two brains.
169* {{Expy}}:
170** Of Dr. Conners/Lizard from ''ComicBook/SpiderMan''.
171** His role in the show and certain mannerisms are similar to that of the Joker from ''Franchise/{{Batman}}''.
172** He shares the two (or three!) personalities in one body thing with Two-Face, also from ''Batman''.
173* FaceHeelTurn: From a kind-hearted professor to an evil scientist whose only interest outside eating cheese is to harm society so much that they see him as the biggest threat in a city filled with psychos in costumes running around.
174* FishEyes: Happens whenever he has a particularly evil laughing session.
175* FromNobodyToNightmare: Was just a normal scientist until the awful experiment of reading Squeaky's mind went wrong.
176* FusionDance: Squeaky and Steven. It remains unclear who has how much control over what, though it's obvious and has even been stated outright that both personalities are present in Two-Brains.
177* GRatedDrug: His apparent cheese addiction. He seems to go through serious withdrawal in "A Simple Plan".
178* GollumMadeMeDoIt: Squeaky does this sometimes, like this example from "When Life Gives You Potatoes...".
179-->'''Henchman:''' Stop running, stop!\
180'''Dr. Two-Brains:''' I can't help it! Mouse brain makes me run!\
181::: The episode where [=WordGirl=] and Two-Brains [[FreakyFridayFlip swap minds]] has the mouse brain do this to [=WordGirl=], while Two-Brains acts more heroically in her body.
182* HeliumSpeech: When taken over by Squeaky.
183* HelplessGoodSide: Professor Boxleitner. When he and Squeaky first merged after the lab accident, he was still capable of calling out to [=WordGirl=] and trying to fight against the mouse brain. However, he was quickly subject to a SplitPersonalityTakeover and has never been seen as himself since, although it is implied in a few episodes that at least part of his personality still exists inside Dr. Two-Brains.
184* {{Idiosyncrazy}}: Cheese and mice.
185* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Mentions in "When Life Gives You Potatoes..." that he doesn't want to be seen as some "ordinary, run-of-the-mill criminal".
186* ItsWhatIDo: Usually responds with this when people call him out on his overly complex plans or how ridiculous his obsession with cheese can get.
187* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: It's complicated. Seeing as he once was a good person he is capable of compassion, like to his henchman. Even though he can be rude and dismissive of the two, he has shown that he does care and tries his best to be a decent boss. Even to [=WordGirl=] he has shown, such as in "A Few Words From [=WordGirl=]", that he does care for her and treats her like an old friend. However, he's also perfectly down with murdering her in "A Better Mousetrap". According to WordOfGod, this is because, on certain days, Steven's personality is more in charge of Two-Brains than Squeaky is and hence more friendliness and decent banter, versus when Squeaky's more in charge of Two-Brains, those being the days where he's more ruthless and sadistic.
188* LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine: He's a MadScientist, and he wears a labcoat.
189* LargeHam: Creator/TomKenny's performance as Dr. Two-Brains is very bombastic and [[Characters/BatmanTheJoker Joker]]-esque.
190* LeanAndMean: He's pretty thin, and pretty mean.
191* {{Leitmotif}}: An organ fugue.
192* LittleBitBeastly: A borderline example. Due to his brain being fused with a mouse's, he has albino coloring, whiskers, a super sense of smell, and can chew through solid steel. Now and then he will be drawn with mouse-like teeth, especially when about to bite into a piece of cheese.
193* LossOfIdentity: Steven Boxleitner gets this when his mind merges with that of a vicious lab mouse and he becomes the evil Doctor Two-Brains.
194* MadScientist: Both as Steven and Dr. Two-Brains.
195* NiceMice: {{Inverted}}, it's the mouse brain that turned him bad.
196* PurelyAestheticGlasses: If he is wearing an outfit that involves glasses, he usually puts a pair on his brain too.
197* RedEyesTakeWarning: When turned into Dr. Two-Brains, both his iris and sclera were turned red.
198* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Sensitive Guy to The Butcher and Manly Man to Chuck.
199* SpeaksFluentAnimal: His brain merged with Squeaky giving him the ability to speak to mice.
200* TeamDad: Even though he ''is'' [=WordGirl=]'s nemesis. Before his lab accident, Steven seemed to be somewhat of a mentor to her, and even as Two-Brains, he often shows signs of this trope. For example, in the episode "A Few Words From [=WordGirl=]", he gives her fatherly advice when she can't think of a good speech for Inspiration Day. ("You're [=WordGirl=]! Your actions inspire people more than anything you could say.") He also acts this way towards Tobey in "Mousezilla", saying he's been following Tobey's career and addressing him as "Tobey, my lad", and being proud of his robotic expertise... at least until they start bickering over how to fight [=WordGirl=].
201* TheyCallMeMisterTibbs: He always makes it a point that he's not Two-Brains; he's ''Dr.'' Two-Brains. ...Even when [=WordGirl=] actually addresses him as such.
202-->'''[=WordGirl=]:''' Hold it right there, Dr. Two-Brains!\
203'''Dr. Two-Brains:''' That's ''Dr.'' Two-Brains!\
204'''[=WordGirl=]:''' ''[[{{Beat}} (beat)]]'' Um, [[LampshadeHanging that's what I just said]]?
205* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Cheese, of course. A lot of his plans involve stealing cheese or inventing gadgets that turn things into cheese. Sometimes his plans involve turning valuable objects such as diamonds or gold into cheese, prompting [=WordGirl=] to ask why he doesn't just use the money to buy cheese in the first place. In "Seize the Cheese!", he even goes as far as to tell his henchman he likes cheese, and ''only'' cheese when asked to go apple picking.
206* TwoBeingsOneBody: Steven and Squeaky are two distinct individuals fused into one to make the weirdly eccentric Dr. Two-Brains.
207* VillainousGlutton: Don't let his thin physique fool you, this guy has eaten entire ''buildings'' worth of cheese and was still ready to eat more. Even before their two brains merged he seemed obsessed with food (but not limited to cheese). He's also a villain.
208* VillainsOutShopping:
209** "Becky's Birthday" reveals that when he's not committing crimes to steal cheese, he's going out to a store to legally buy crackers ([[StatingTheSimpleSolution even though he could easily buy the]] ''[[StatingTheSimpleSolution cheese]]'' [[StatingTheSimpleSolution too]]).
210** He and his henchmen are initially seen chilling and watching television in "Don't Mess with the Best", with this {{trope}} even being lampshaded.
211* VocalEvolution: His voice (quite fittingly) gets sneakier and raspier in comparison to his original appearances in The Amazing Colossal Adventures of [=WordGirl=].
212* WasOnceAMan: He was human as Steven Boxleitner until the experiment on Squeaky went haywire and he became half-mouse as a result.
213* WeUsedToBeFriends: [=WordGirl=] and Dr. Boxleitner used to be friends before he transformed into the evil Dr. Two Brains.
214* WhiteHairBlackHeart: An evil man with white hair.
215* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Terrified of cats, due to being part mouse. This is his downfall in a few episodes.
216* WildHair: He did say he sported the dry look...
217* WillingChanneler: Allows the mouse brain to take over his personality at times, causing his front teeth to grow longer, his hair to get disheveled, and his eyes to be more wild than usual. Not to mention he gains an appropriately squeaky voice as well.
218* WouldHurtAChild: Has no problem with going after [=WordGirl=], though she does have superhuman powers. He also has no issue with letting a group of royally pissed-off supervillains attack an unarmed Victoria Best because she stole their things.

221[[folder:Doctor Two-Brains's Henchmen]]
222[[quoteright:280:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/two_brains_and_his_henchmen.jpg]]
223->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChrisParnell (Meatloaf)
224Doctor Two-Brains's bumbling henchmen who always screw everything up for him. The tall, silent one is named Charlie, while the short, talkative one has no known name (although one episode gave him the nickname "Meatloaf").
225----
226* BumblingHenchmenDuo: They are a pair of incompetent men who mess stuff up for their boss.
227* EvenEvilHasStandards: Charlie and Meatloaf are horrified about the idea of getting rid of [=WordGirl=] forever in “Mouse Brain Take-Over” and “Don’t Mess With The Best”.
228* EvilMinions: To Dr. Two-Brains.
229* LiteralMinded: They will do most anything Two-Brains tells them to, though perhaps a bit too literally. For example, when Two-Brains tells them to obey the next person to wear his lab coat while he is gone in "Crime Takes a Holiday" and Glen - by a series of occurrences - gets his lab coat, they disobey further orders from their real boss in favor of obeying Glen.
230* NoNameGiven: The short henchman who does all the talking ironically has no known name. One episode gave him the nickname "Meatloaf" (after his mom's meatloaf), but this was never brought up again.
231* SilentPartner: Charlie, the larger of the two, never speaks out loud, with Meatloaf doing all of the talking for him.
232* SimpletonVoice: The one who can talk has a really deep voice.
233* VoiceForTheVoiceless: "Meatloaf", the unnamed henchman with the beanie, always speaks for the mute Charlie.
234* TheVoiceless: Charlie. Overlaps with the earlier SilentPartner.

237[[folder:Theodore "Tobey" [=McCallister=] III]]
238[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tobey.jpg]]
239 [[caption-width-right:300: The Boy Genius]]
240->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/PattonOswalt
241A genius 10-year-old boy who terrorizes the city with giant robots. He also has an obsessive crush on [=WordGirl=].
242----
243* AmazonChaser: Possibly. His [[DistractedByTheSexy lovestruck reaction]] when [=WordGirl=] starts destroying his robots in "[[Recap/WordGirlS1E1TobeyOrConsequencesHighFatRobbery Tobey or Consequences]]" implies that her battle prowess is one of the many things he finds attractive about her.
244* ApatheticStudent: He has shades of this, at least. While Tobey apparently puts enough effort into schoolwork for Miss Davis to think "he's a gifted boy", she also suggests he's more interested in robotics than schoolwork.
245** PlayedForLaughs in "Guess Who's Coming to Thanksgiving Dinner" when he pretends his controller to his robots is a radio when it clearly isn't. Complete with him pretending it's playing a song, despite it being obvious he's singing a made-up song while he's coming up the lyrics as he went along. Granted that case zigzags between this {{trope}} and BlatantLies as it did convince the [[SuperGullible Botsford family members]], sans [[OnlySaneWoman Becky]] and Huggy.
246* BelligerentSexualTension: His "rivalry" with Becky is a one-sided example, considering "By Jove, You've Wrecked My Robot!" implies he may have a crush on her too.
247* BlatantLies: Whenever Tobey is caught by his mother controlling his robots causing trouble, he tries using an excuse to get himself out of trouble. However, his mother doesn't buy it.
248* BookSmart: A discussed variant in "Mobot Knows Best" as Miss Davis states he's a great student.
249* BreakTheHaughty: He has an [[SmugSnake inflated view of himself]], not that the writers seem to agree.
250* ChildProdigy: He can build giant city-destroying robots, and he's only 10.
251* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: He's the first villain in this franchise who's a [[EnfantTerrible child]] and the only one to [[VillainousCrush crush on [=WordGirl=]]]. Also, while most villains usually get thrown in jail when defeated, he often (albeit not always) is [[MommasBoy taken away by his angry mommy]].
252* DeadpanSnarker: Not as dry as Reginald, but he's pretty close. For example, his response to some of his fellow students admiring the cabin his robot built-in "Robo-Camping".
253-->'''Ryder:''' That cabin looks so comfortable!\
254'''Johnson:''' And you didn't even have to do any work!\
255'''Tobey:''' Well, congratulations, you're both capable of stating the obvious.
256* DisappearedDad: You can use one hand to count how many times his father is mentioned and/or seen. And you can do it even if you don't have fingers or hands.
257* EnfantTerrible: You can use two hands to count how old he is, but it takes more than that to count how much destruction he's caused.
258* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Despite him being a villain, he seems to genuinely care for his mother.
259* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: A recurring part of Tobey's character is that, although he won't admit it, he clearly '''[[VillainousCrush adores]]''' [=WordGirl=]. While his love for her is... in a sense... creepy, he doesn't seem to view it as such.
260* EveryoneHasStandards: Possibly PlayedForLaughs but even he, a SmugSnake who loves his EvilGloating, was annoyed in "Mobot Knows Best" when Becky interrupts a speech so she could define the word "communicate". [[SincerityMode Yes, that really happened]].
261* EvilCounterpart: To Becky. Both are gifted with incredible intellect and talent, but Tobey uses his gifts for more selfish needs while Becky uses her gifts more selflessly.
262* EvilBrit: Oddly PlayedWith. Make no mistake, Tobey is shown to be conniving, destruction-causing, and (generally) [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking condescending]]. While he typically speaks with an upper-class UsefulNotes/{{British Accent|s}}, for some unexplained reason, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hZuLgzmojM&lc=UgyKIjCyalDJczt8bJp4AaABAg there are times]] (link contains {{spoiler}}s) in which he's talking to his mother and he starts speaking in an UsefulNotes/{{American Accent|s}}. It's made even stranger by the fact [[https://wordgirlappreciation.tumblr.com/post/102905838329/is-tobeys-british-accent-fake Word of God says his British accent is genuine]].
263* EvilGenius: It's what he's best at after all.
264* EvilIsPetty: For instance, not only does he steal a book in "Princess Triana and the Ogre of Castlebum", he did it so he could have the satisfaction of knowing what happens in it before anyone else could. Made more JustForFun/{{egregious}} when he tries to spoil it for [=WordGirl=], who didn't want to be spoiled. Granted, this {{trope}} is {{justified|Trope}} as he's just [[EnfantTerrible ten-years-old]].
265* EvilLaugh: Although he often tries to be calm, Tobey can still let out some villainous laughter when in the mood.
266* EvilNerd: Don't let his glasses and sweater vest fool you - he may not be strong, but the robots he builds to aid in his schemes sure are.
267* FantasyForbiddingMother: To his mother, his interest in robotics is a no-no.
268* FatalFlaw: He's got a few.
269** His ego is pretty big, and he'll usually throw a robotic fit if he feels like he's been insulted.
270** He's pretty insecure behind his ego, and if you shake him enough to get at his insecurities he'll fall apart (though [=WordGirl=] considers doing this too low for her liking).
271** He tends to overlook certain minor details, which on occasion come back to bite him.
272** He can get distracted by his love for [=WordGirl=].
273** His mother.
274* FatherlyScientist: A very downplayed example since he, being a villain, lacks the nurturing attitude associated with the trope. However, he ''does'' occasionally treat his robots a bit like his children. In "Have You Seen the Remote?", he scolds a misbehaving robot that he "raised [it] better than that", and in "Guess Who's Coming to Thanksgiving Dinner" he outright calls himself their daddy.
275* FourEyesZeroSoul: He sports NerdGlasses and is one of the villains.
276* GadgeteerGenius: It's literally the only reason he's a threat to the city, though his cunningness certainly helps. If he didn't have this ability, he'd just be known as that weird kid with anger issues.
277* GeekPhysiques: He's absolutely ''terrible'' at athletics. In "Department Store Tobey", he fails to throw ''some crumpled-up papers'' further than about a foot.
278* GeniusSweetTooth: 10-year-old prodigy. Adores sweets.
279* HeelFaceTurn: Invokes one in "Tobey Goes Good". He puts on a convincing enough display that he even convinces Becky that he may have truly turned over a new leaf. But because he didn't actually try to better himself, the facade falls apart the moment he feels slighted.
280* InsufferableGenius: He's VERY proud of his intellect, and usually boasts to anyone who'll listen.
281* {{Jerkass}}: When not terrorizing the city he's usually being haughty, petty, and self-entitled.
282* {{Leitmotif}}: A conceited and devious piano-bassoon melody.
283* LittleMissSnarker: Gender-flipped. He's ten years old and has his snarky moments.
284-->'''Becky:''' [[ItMakesSenseInContext I think you're being an unfair candidate]].
285-->'''Tobey:''' ''Boo hoo'' [[SarcasmMode that hurts my feelings]].
286* LivingWithTheVillain: He unknowingly goes to school with [[TheHeroine [=WordGirl=]]], despite being one of the (many) baddies she faces. He also attends school with Victoria.
287* LoveMakesYouEvil: While not his main motive there are occasions when Tobey threatens to destroy the city just so he can spend time with [=WordGirl=].
288* LovesMyAlterEgo: He treats Becky as just another citizen, or as something of a rival. Most of the time, he addresses her with casual disdain. However, "By Jove, You've Wrecked My Robot!" implies that Tobey may actually have a crush on Becky, too. While trying to get her to admit her secret identity, he lets himself slip:
289-->'''Tobey:''' You both have the same hairstyle! And color! The same sparkling smile. The same ruby lips! The same... ''[realizes Becky is staring at him]'' I realize [[SayingTooMuch I've said too much]].
290* MakingASpectacleOfYourself: While he normally just wears a plain pair of NerdGlasses, his work outfit includes a pair of welding goggles with one red lens and one blue.
291* MisterBig: He's smaller than most of his robots, and is still their boss (though they do occasionally disobey him).
292* MommasBoy: After being defeated, he usually gets taken away by his mother, who grabs him by the ear. Over the course of the series, her ability to tell where her son is at any given time became more and more exaggerated and ridiculous, to the point that one episode has her dropping out of a ''tree'' in the middle of a ''national park'' to haul him back home. He actually seems to be somewhat ''afraid'' of her. The mere mention of her name is sometimes enough to make him jump and look around in terror. In "The Rise of Miss Power", Miss Power picks up on this right away and encourages [=WordGirl=] to make fun of him for it, which they both promptly do to the point where he has a HeroicBSOD.
293* {{Narcissist}}: While not as bad as Victoria Best, his ego is pretty big (though semi-justified, as he is a boy genius), and any time his ego is struck he usually doesn't take it well.
294* NerdGlasses: And a big pair at that.
295* NotSoAboveItAll: While usually calm and collected, he'll throw a fit if his ego takes a hit. He also tends to drop the calm facade when he's excited or in the company of [=WordGirl=].
296* OnlyKnownByHisNickname: He's typically referred to as just Tobey instead of Theodore [=MccCallister=] III (his full name).
297%%* PreppyName
298* RobotMaster: His specialty is building robots, especially of the giant variety.
299* RootingForTheEmpire: An {{implied|trope}}, InUniverse example. One episode reveals he has a MonsterFangirl who adores him. And, no, there's no (InUniverse) DracoInLeatherPants either; she's clearly aware he's a villain. The fact there's a plushie of him also suggests there may be other people in Fair City who feel the same.
300* SmallNameBigEgo:
301** He tells his entire art class in "Tobey's Masterpiece" that he'll easily be the greatest artist there. And when everyone there is instructed to paint a bowl of fruit, he says he should be done in hardly any time. He additionally brags it'll be a masterpiece and, even when he gets a [[TerribleArtist rude awakening]], he still claims he's "good at everything".
302** Tobey states in "A Vote for Becky" that he's an exceptional candidate for class president. Although he doesn't know what changes he should make to the school and he was only running so he could finally impress [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes [=WordGirl=]]]. He also still claims he's the best candidate, though that likely was just to help him convince the other students to vote for him.
303* SmartPeopleSpeakTheQueensEnglish: He's a highly intelligent GadgeteerGenius ChildProdigy and the only EvilBrit in [=WordGirl=]'s large rogues' gallery.
304* SmugSnake: Yes, he ''is'' a calculating ChildProdigy. However, he's condescending (usually), prone to {{Villainous Breakdown}}s, and is too overconfident and egotistical for his own good. Becky once even lampshaded the "Smug" part.
305* SoreLoser: In "Tobey or Consequences", he admits to being this after losing "Crash or Pie", and tries to activate all his robots to wreak havoc anyway. He's not any more graceful a winner either.
306* StalkerWithACrush: At first. In the earlier seasons, he has little to no respect for [=WordGirl=]'s boundaries. Hell, the very first episode has him declaring that once he can prove he's smarter than her, she'll be all his. And the robotic suit he tricks Johnson into giving her in "Go Gadget Go" is rigged so that once she's trapped inside, he can literally control her actions... ew. However, by the end of the show, he thankfully seems to have grown out of this. At the end of "It's Your Party And I'll Cry If I Want To", since he had a change of heart and didn't destroy Katie's birthday party, [=WordGirl=] agrees with his suggestion that they get some ice cream. Later, in "The Robot Problem", when she has to go to Tobey for help defeating a robot, she declares that they make a pretty good team, to which he replies enthusiastically before catching himself. They also treat each other more like frenemies at this point than outright rivals.
307* TerribleArtist: He's a horrendous artist according to "Tobey's Masterpiece". Becky even lampshades it.
308* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Not to the extent of Two-Brains and cheese, but he is very fond of ice cream.
309* VerbalTic: From Season 2 onward, the word "robot" is pronounced "robit".
310* VillainHasAPoint: While he's no saint himself, Tobey does have his moments of making valid points. It's even a PlotPoint in [[AlliterativeTitle "Trustworthy Tobey"]] that he was telling the truth when he said he returned Becky's book to her.
311* VillainousBreakdown: That SmugSnake act of his is prone to breaking whenever things aren't going his way. This happens to him so frequently that [=WordGirl=] even predicted this {{trope}} in one episode. Another time she even mocked him for the fact he ''wasn't having one''.
312* VillainousCrush: Tobey rather obviously has a thing for [=WordGirl=], though she continually [[RejectionAffection rebuffs his affections]].
313* VillainRespect: Despite the fact that she constantly rebuts his feelings and foils his schemes, he does seem to respect [=WordGirl=]. In "The Robot Problem" he even calls her "practically [his] equal", which says a lot considering his massive ego.
314* VocalDissonance: Although he is ten years old, he is clearly voiced by an adult.
315* WingdingEyes: Need some proof he's [[VillainousCrush in love with [=WordGirl=]]]? A few times hearts have appeared in his eyes when around her.

318[[folder:Chuck the Evil Sandwich-Making Guy]]
319[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chuck_0.jpg]]
320 [[caption-width-right:300:Yes, [[SincerityMode his head is a sandwich]].]]
321->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/FredStoller
322A big guy with a sandwich for a head and a general obsession with sandwiches. He lives in his mother's basement and plays video games, only committing crimes because he's angry at something/someone, or in an attempt to be cool.
323----
324* AffablyEvil: He's mainly soft-spoken, timid, and friendly to [=WordGirl=], but he's still a villain. He does go out of his way to make sure [=WordGirl=] doesn't get hurt, such as asking her if she's allergic to peanut butter before shooting her with it.
325* AmbiguouslyHuman: No one's exactly sure just what Chuck is, as he's mostly human, but his head is a sandwich. Apparently, he's sensitive about it.
326* ApologizesALot: Despite being a villain, he tries his best to be humble.
327* AtrociousAlias: Some other names he considered were "Destructo the Destroyer", "Amazo the Amazing Guy Who's Evil but Not Really That Bad When You Get to Know Him", "Handsome Eddie", and "The Handsome Panther".
328* BasementDweller: He tried to move out once, but got homesick when he realized his mother wasn't there to kiss his booboos or tuck him in. Sleeps in a bunkbed with tons of stuffed animals and has pin-ups of sandwiches on the walls.
329* BerserkButton: Mainly people mocking sandwiches or simply saying they don't like them, but there are many small things that cause him to go berserk and try to crush something, like someone calling his sandwich repulsive, his mother interrupting him while he is doing "evil things", not having a hairnet that fits his head correctly, etc.
330* BigBrotherInstinct: Well, little brother, but mess with Brent and he'll make sure you pay. Just ask Mr. Big.
331* BuffySpeak: His name speaks for itself.
332* DisappearedDad: Chuck and Brent have different fathers; both are missing.
333* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Yes, he does.
334* EvenEvilHasStandards: He asks [=WordGirl=] if she's allergic to peanut butter before shooting her with it.
335* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin
336* {{Expy}}: A possible one of D-list Franchise/{{Batman}} villain Condiment King.
337* FatAndProud: Has a very high opinion of his looks and calls himself handsome quite often.
338* FatBastard: Is obese and one of the villains.
339* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The foolish one.
340* GreenEyedMonster: Towards his brother, Brent, who's more liked and rich, while he's less liked and lives with his mother still.
341* HairTriggerTemper: The main reason he can't become a member of society is that his immediate instinct upon hearing something that offends him or hurts his feeling is to flip his shit.
342* HalfHumanHybrid: Appears to be the case, judging from what we've seen of his mother - her having ears and Chuck/Brent not - she appears to be human.
343* HarmlessVillain: Subverted, as he's tied with the Butcher for Fair City's #2 most feared criminal (behind Dr. Two-Brains), though he can come off as this on occasion.
344* HiddenDepths: If the kitten costume he makes for the Butcher in "[[Recap/WordGirlS6E10DrTwoBrainsMrCheeseKittyCatCriminals Kitty Cat Criminals]]" is any indication, he's proficient with a sewing machine.
345* {{Idiosyncrazy}}: Sandwiches and anything to do with sandwiches.
346* ImprobableWeaponUser: Uses a ray gun that fires ketchup, mustard, and relish, but occasionally switches it up with olive oil, honey mustard, ranch dressing, or peanut butter.
347** He also has a giant panini press that he uses to crush buildings ''slowly''.
348* IWorkAlone: Tells the Whammer he's a "lone wolf" when the Whammer offers to be his sidekick.
349* {{Leitmotif}}: A childishly whimsical yet sinister music box jingle. [[https://youtu.be/_5Tg5yAbNZo Also one of the only character leitmotif completely available.]]
350* MommasBoy: He's a neurotic man-child who still lives in his mother's basement. He makes her sandwiches, watches her stories with her, and does chores such as mowing the lawn. His mother refers to him as "Chucky-boo", "Chuckleberry", "Chucky-buttons", and if he is in trouble, "Charles!"
351* NerdGlasses: Wears a big ole pair of these when not wearing his goggles, and in flashbacks of him as a kid.
352* NonHumanHead: Chuck's head is a sandwich, befitting of a villain whose motif is sandwiches.
353* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Without a [=WordGirl=] to stop him, he would be ruling the city, as evidenced by "A World Without [=WordGirl=]".
354* PlantHair: Lettuce.
355* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Sensitive Guy to Dr. Two-Brains and The Butcher's Manly Men.
356* SharedFamilyQuirks: The entire family seems to have a deep obsession with sandwiches; they eat them for Thanksgiving dinner (with stuffing) and Chuck and Brent get sandwiches in their Christmas stockings.
357* ShyFingerTwiddling: Tends to perform this during awkward or nervous moments.
358* SiblingsInCrime: His brother Brent becomes his evil sidekick for a couple of episodes, although Chuck can't stand how organized Brent is.
359* SuccessfulSiblingSyndrome: His older brother invented Crustless Bread and is now famous for it. Chuck lives in his mom's basement and is in and out of jail.
360* VagueAge: A flashback in "Caper or Plastic" shows he was a young-looking child when Becky's parents were young(er) adults, so he's probably no more than ten years older than Becky--this puts him in his early twenties at the youngest, but lack of context plus his ManChild tendencies muddle things a bit.
361* VerbalTic: "Oh, I don't know, what's the word...?" Always forgetting the word he wants to use.

366->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TomKenny
367Chuck's older brother, who is a popular and successful businessman. He also has a sandwich-shaped head. Though he is a legit worker and has no malicious tendencies, he briefly agrees to be Chuck's sidekick.
368----
369* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: For Chuck, though Brent admits that Chuck is better at video games.
370* BigBrotherInstinct: Defends Chuck even when Chuck tries to break Brent's relationship with his new girlfriend.
371* BuffySpeak: Yes that's his full name.
372* ChickMagnet: Women swoon whenever he passes by.
373* DisappearedDad: Chuck and Brent have different fathers; both are missing.

376%%* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin
377* InventorOfTheMundane: He invented "Crustless Bread"... which we find out in a later episode is literally just bread with the crust cut off.
378* MommasBoy: She likes him better than Chuck, who is resentful of this fact.
379%%* MinionWithAnFInEvil
380* NonHumanHead: He has a sandwich for a head, just like Chuck.
381* ParentalFavoritism: Totally driven home in "Who Wants to Get Rid of [=WordGirl=]?", where Chuck is on TV and waves to his mother, who waves back briefly, only to pull out a photo of Brent to admire instead.
382* PlantHair: Lettuce, similar to Chuck's hair.
383* RelationshipUpgrade: With Ms. Question in the later seasons.
384* SharedFamilyQuirks: The entire family seems to have a deep obsession with sandwiches; they eat them for Thanksgiving dinner (with stuffing) and Chuck and Brent get sandwiches in their Christmas stockings.
385* SiblingsInCrime: Becomes Chuck's sidekick, although his organizational skills drive Chuck insane.

392->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/CreeSummer, Creator/WandaSykes (The Amazing Colossal Adventures of [=WordGirl=])
393A villainess who poses as a sweet, deaf old lady but who in actuality is a master thief who specializes in fooling others and convincing everyone to turn against [=WordGirl=].
394----
395* BitchInSheepsClothing: She poses as a kind, harmless old lady who's hard of hearing. She even lampshades this {{trope}} herself in "The Rise of Miss Power".
396* CharacterCatchphrase: "Boop!" Usually when using her yarn attack.
397* ConArtist: When she's not robbing and stealing outright, she's doing things like tricking people into taking ridiculous coupons or buying useless cure-alls.
398* CoolOldLady: Is there any argument that her robotic, jet-propelled, air-conditioned super suit is ''not'' cool?
399* EvilOldFolks: She's a senior citizen who loves to con people out of their money.
400* FunWithAcronyms: The initials of her real name spell out "Gem" - Grandolyn Edna May.
401* GrannyClassic: Uses this as part of her charade, complete with knitting needles, perfume, and being hard of hearing.
402* HisNameReallyIsBarkeep: "Granny" sounds like a title, but it's really an abbreviation of her first name, Grandolyn.
403* {{Idiosyncrazy}}: Averted, especially when compared to a lot of the other villains. She just tries to steal things.
404* LikeMotherUnlikeDaughter: Granny May's mother is much kinder and sweeter than her, and disapproves of her daughter's villainous ways.
405* ManipulativeBitch: She loves using her "harmless old lady" facade to turn people against [=WordGirl=].
406* MasterActress: She's great at manipulating other people into thinking she's a "harmless old lady".
407* ObfuscatingDisability: She regularly pretends to be hard of hearing. She's even been [[LampshadeHanging called out]] for this.
408* OnlyKnownByHerNickname: Although she's typically referred to as Granny May, her real name is Gwendolyn Edna May.
409* PoweredArmor: She has a metallic suit she sometimes uses to fly around in the sky.
410* TeamRocketWins: This is typically one of those "good triumphs over evil" shows, though she does manage to succeed with stealing some dough in "Gift Pony".
411* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Only because she looks helpless and sweet. In "Down with Word Up", she plays this trope almost to the hilt when pulling a WoundedGazelleGambit.

414[[folder:The Butcher]]
415[[quoteright:275:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_butcher_6.jpg]]
416->'''Voiced by:''' Jack D. Ferraiolo
417A large man who dresses like a butcher and has power over meat, which includes conjuring it up and telekinetically controlling it.
418----
419* AffablyEvil: He's actually pretty nice.
420* TheButcher: His main shtick, though not nearly as AxCrazy as the usual examples of this trope. In one episode, "The Baker" and "The Candlestick Maker" are added to the mix.
421* CallingYourAttacks: He works really hard on them.
422* CutLexLuthorACheck: He could be rich if he just ''sold'' his meat at an affordable price.
423* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Say what you will of their treatment of one another, it's been made pretty clear that The Butcher really does love his dad.
424* EvenEvilHasStandards: He tries to be considerate of readers in the library.
425* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: He's literally a butcher.
426* FoodBasedSuperpowers: The Butcher is capable of creating and firing meat out of thin air using his hands.
427* FriendlyEnemy: He even lampshades it in "Meat My Dad", commenting that except for fighting, he and [=WordGirl=] get along pretty well.
428* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: His meat constructs are often strong enough to restrain [=WordGirl=]. She usually relies on [[BigEater Captain Huggyface]] to eat through them.
429* {{Idiosyncrazy}}: Meat.
430* LargeHam: Well, yes, quite literally. And he likes to yell.
431* LikeFatherLikeSon: He only does what he does out of admiration for his father, a man who raised him from birth to believe BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad.
432* LoveAtFirstSight: With Dupey. Interestingly, he's indifferent to her template, Lady Redundant Woman, and vice versa.
433* {{Malaproper}}: Often [[{{Pun}} butchers]] the English language when he talks.
434* MeaningfulName: He's the "Butcher" because a butcher deals with meat, and he can summon any meat with his bare hands, and the "Butcher" because butchering something is spoiling it by dealing with very severely, and he is a criminal who spoils the days of people.
435* NoNameGiven: The other eponymous characters in "The Butcher, The Baker, and The Candlestick Maker" are old friends of his, and refer to him as though Butcher is his ''actual name''. His father calls him Junior, implying he shares his real name with his father. Unfortunately, we never learn his real name either.
436* PermaStubble: And it's beautiful.
437* PocketDimension: Where his meat comes from. He trapped Word Girl and Huggy in there once.
438* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Manly Man to Chuck and Dr. Two-Brains' Sensitive Guys.
439* StarterVillain: He is the very first villain that [=WordGirl=] fights in the shorts. After that, he becomes a recurring villain in the series.
440* WeaksauceWeakness: Tofu.
441* WellDoneSonGuy: All the Butcher wants is some sort of positive acknowledgment from his father Kid Potato.

447The Butcher's father, who has power over potatoes.
448----
449* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParent: When he teams up with his son.
450* CallingYourAttacks: Just like his son.
451* CardCarryingVillain: Similar to [[Film/AustinPowers Dr. Evil]], he insists on doing stereotypical villain actions.
452* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Similar to his son, his potato constructs are strong enough to restrain [=WordGirl=].
453* {{Idiosyncrazy}}: Potatoes.
454* NoNameGiven: We don't know his name, we can guess that the Butcher shares the same first name as him since Kid Potato calls him "Junior".

457[[folder:Lady Redundant Woman / Beatrice Bixby]]
458[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lady_redundant_woman.jpg]]
459->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AmandaPlummer (first appearance), Creator/GreyDeLisle
460Beatrice Bixby works in a copy shop and is bitterly jealous of the star employee, Dave. She obsessively cleans and maintains a copy machine, doting on it like it's her child. After curiously pressing a mysterious BigRedButton on the machine, she becomes Lady Redundant Woman and wreaks havoc.
461----
462* AchillesHeel: She needs to touch her nose to use her powers. Also, she can't use her powers if her ink supply runs low or if her ink cartridges are removed.
463* AllGirlsLikePonies: She can be seen watching "The Pretty Princess and Magic Pony Power Hour".
464* AlliterativeName: Fittingly enough for her theme, the letter "B" appears thrice in her name.
465* ArtInitiatesLife: By eating or looking at an image, she can bring it to life.
466* BerserkButton:
467** Dave receiving praise. And Dave period.
468** Messing with her beloved copy machine.
469** If someone claims copies are no good compared to originals.
470** Whenever she gets cut in line. Repeatedly.
471* DarkActionGirl: She's able to beat the crap out of Captain Huggyface while her powers are disabled.
472* DemotedToExtra: Lacks any speaking or major roles in Season 6 and 8.
473* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: She constantly repeats herself in different ways. For example: "You are beaten, defeated, vanquished!" or "Hi, hello, aloha." This also extends to her crimes, as [[{{Idiosyncrazy}} she tends to steal multiple things that are extremely similar to each other]] (such as a couch, sofa, and futon). Even her villain name "Lady Redundant Woman" is redundant since "lady" and "woman" are both words to describe a woman.
474* DoppelgangerAttack: Basically all of her attacks.
475* EasilyForgiven: Whenever she's released from jail, Dave gives her job back.
476* EvilIsPetty: She's very bitter and spiteful towards her BenevolentBoss Dave out of jealousy and minor faults.
477* GreenEyedMonster: For Dave.
478* {{Idiosyncrazy}}: Copying machines and redundancy.
479* InnerMonologue: Whenever she's Beatrice, she will sometimes talk to herself whenever she's annoyed or feels slighted, complete with the background fading out of focus during her thoughts.
480* TheInsomniac: Implied, as she is the only character with lines and dark circles under her eyes.
481* KillItWithWater: Her clones are made of ink and paper, and thus will dissolve if they touch water.
482* MesACrowd: Her copies turn into paper when destroyed, and she can make them disappear if she feels like it.
483* SelfDuplication: She has this power.
484* SingleMindedTwins: Though not twins, and inverted by the presence of Dupey in "The Young And The Meatless", her clones frequently exhibit identical movements as their original, while saying the exact same thing. This is likely just a case of reducing animation and voice acting costs, even though it doesn't make sense for LRW's copies to know exactly what she's going to say, how she's going to say it, and how she's going to move while saying it when she does. They only have their own personalities (such as Dupey) when it's needed for the plot.

487[[folder:Ms. Question]]
488[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ms_question_smirk.png]]
489->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/GreyDeLisle
490A woman obsessed with questions. She always speaks in the form of a question and uses confusion and chaos to get away with her crimes. After being struck by lightning, she gained the ability to make her foes temporarily forget everything, even who they are.
491----
492* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: A subtle example; the curls in her hair look like question marks.
493* BerserkButton: The phrase "No questions asked".
494* {{Bizarrchitecture}}: "Seeds of Doubt" reveals that her lair resembles an Creator/MCEscher painting.
495* ConfusionFu: Her power is ''literally'' to cause confusion. Aside from that, she tries to confuse the people she robs by [[MotorMouth asking them a rapid series of confusing questions]].
496* TheDogBitesBack: In "Who Is Ms. Question?", she gets kicked out of Villain School for not having superpowers (despite the Coach [[{{Hypocrite}} not having any of his own either]]. Once she gains her amnesia powers, she tests her new abilities on the Coach first.
497* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In "Who Is Ms. Question?", characters affected by Ms. Question's amnesia beam would have their head turn into a giant question mark. In later episodes, they instead get [[CirclingBirdies small question marks that circle their head]].
498* EasyAmnesia: Can fire a beam that gives whoever it hits temporary amnesia.
499* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She gets in a relationship with Brent, and genuinely seems to love him.
500* {{Expy}}: Her costume and obsession with questions are taken from [[Characters/BatmanTheRiddler the Riddler]].
501* FoodBasedSuperpowers: "Seeds of Doubt" reveals that Ms. Question can fire her question beams at food, causing anyone who eats it to get amnesia as if they were hit by the beam directly.
502* FromNobodyToNightmare: She started out as a small-time crook with no powers. Then, in "Who is Ms. Question?", she gained [[EasyAmnesia the power of confusion]] and became a recurring, credible threat.
503* GlorySeeker: "Ms. Question's Riddle Rampage" reveals that her criminal behavior is largely motivated by a desire to become famous (implied to be because of her former status as a small-time criminal).
504* {{Idiosyncrazy}}: Questions, confusion.
505* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Ms. Question is able to control which memories are blocked out by her beam. In "Questionable Behavior", she takes advantage of this to get people to tell her their deepest, darkest secrets.
506* LightningCanDoAnything: She got her confusion and SkySurfing abilities after being struck by a bolt of lightning from a question mark-shaped cloud. Lampshaded by the Narrator.
507* {{Leitmotif}}: A parody of the Jeopardy thinking music, and her power is usually signified by bell clanging.
508* SkySurfing: She rides on a giant question mark.
509* StrangeSyntaxSpeaker: Does she speak entirely in questions? Yes, she does (with a few exceptions, such as when she's answering someone else's question).
510* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Originally, Ms. Question was just a villain-in-training at the Coach's old villain school, who only talked in question. She had no other "powers" of any kind.

515->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NedBellamy
516A devious man with no superpowers of his own, he instead manipulates other villains into committing crimes for him. One recurring scam of his is a villain night school, which produced Invisi-Bill and Big Left Hand Guy (as well as Ms. Question, though she didn't graduate).
517----
518* BitchInSheepsClothing: He acts nice to his "students" in order to manipulate them, but only acts that way to get what he wants.
519* DemotedToExtra: With the exception of one episode in Season 6, he's a minor background character who never talks after Season 2.
520* {{Hypocrite}}: Ms. Question flunks the Coach's Villain School because she doesn't have superpowers, despite the Coach not having any of his own either.
521* {{Jerkass}}: Is an unlikeable man.
522* LackOfEmpathy: How did Coach respond to Ms. Question getting shocked by lightning? Telling her to keep it down.
523* OutOfFocus: He only has major roles in three seasons. For the majority of his screentime in the show, he's in the background with no relevance to the plot.
524* VocalEvolution: His voice in "The Robot Problem" is higher-pitched than his previous. It's possibly because he hasn't been voiced in a long time.
525* WouldHurtAChild: Or steal one's robot blueprints, then attack him using the said robot.

528[[folder:Invisi-Bill]]
529[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/invisibill_letter.png]]
530->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HJonBenjamin
531A man with the power to turn invisible at will. His need for attention often ends up ruining every crime he's part of.
532----
533* AmbiguouslyGay: He's very close to his partner in crime Big Left Hand Guy, often hugging him or holding his hand. This is especially apparent in "Plain Old Mischief Makers".
534* AttentionWhore: On rare occasions, he lowers his happy-go-lucky attitude to show a more vulnerable side when he gets ignored or left behind, proclaiming he needs attention and wishes to be acknowledged.
535* TheDitz: The fact that he once tried to call a taxi while invisible says it all.
536* {{Invisibility}}: He isn't called [[PunnyName Invisi-Bill]] for nothing. Naturally, turning invisible is his main shtick.
537* {{Keet}}: He's lively, hyper, and almost seems too nice to be a villain.
538* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Along with Big Left Hand Guy.
539* NerdGlasses: He's a dorky guy who wears glasses.
540* NoIndoorVoice: Likes to yell things at the top of his lungs, especially his own name.
541* PowerStereotypeFlip: Characters with {{Invisibility}} are commonly portrayed as [[ShrinkingViolet quiet, shy, and asocial]]. Invisi-Bill is the exact opposite: loud, energetic, and a social butterfly.
542* ThirdPersonPerson: Occasionally refers to himself this way.
543* VerbalTic: His own name, as well as "YAY!"

548->'''Voiced by:''' Mike O'Connell
549A man with a big left hand. He tends to use his large hand to hail one of the few cabs of Fair City to escape after committing a crime.
550----
551* AffablyEvil: He's a criminal, but is polite and well-mannered.
552* DemotedToExtra: Lacks any speaking or major roles after Season 5.
553* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: PlayedForLaughs. When Invisi-Bill puts up his hand for a high five, Big Left ends up slamming him into the ground by accident. ''[[DidNotThinkThisThrough Twice.]]''
554* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: He's a guy with a really big left hand.
555* MundaneUtility: Big Left Hand Guy is capable of using his big left hand to perform feats of super strength... but he mainly uses it to hail taxi cabs. To the point that [=WordGirl=] lampshades it.
556* OnlySaneMan: He's one of the more normal and rational villains, and it plays off the goofier ones like Ms. Question and Timmy Tim-Bo.
557* StraightMan: Invisi-Bill's hyperactive, happy-go-lucky personality often plays off of Big Left Hand Guy's seriousness.
558* PermaStubble: He has stubble on his face.
559* VillainsOutShopping: While in {{prison}} in "As Something as Something", Big Left Hand Guy is seen playing basketball with The Whammer and two cops.

565A powerless villain who can sleep for extended periods of time. He is a member in the Villain Society who helps keep an eye on unsuccessful Mischief Makers.

574A man who pretends to be a game show host to scam contestants out of their cash and valuables.
575----
576* AlliterativeName: '''S'''eymour '''S'''mooth
577* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: He kidnaps Beau Handsome and tries to upstage him, due to being jealous that Handsome can host two game shows a day. Later on, Handsome is shown to be the better emcee, and can even out shine Seymour's [[Twinkle Smile]]
578* ChainPain: Wields chains made of fool's gold.
579* CharacterCatchphrase: Usually says "Zing!" whenever flashing his bright teeth.
580* ConArtist: His raison d'être. Literally, anytime you see this guy, he's trying to con you in one way or another.
581* DisappearedDad: Although he mentions his mother in a couple of episodes, we're never given any details regarding his father.
582* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: ImpliedTrope. While he's shown to be a con artist, "Tell Her What She's Won!" and "Wishful Thinking" suggest he's also on friendly terms with his mother or at least doesn't look down on her.
583* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He's fine with sharing stolen [[BuffySpeak stuff]] with [[SiblingsInCrime his brothers]] in "Win a Shiny New Car" and "Seymour ... Right After This". [[spoiler: When going ScrewThisImOutOfHere in the foremost episode, and despite them screwing up his [[EvilPlan plan]], he waits for them to get in a car with him instead of just abandoning them]].
584* EvenEvilHasStandards: Generally frowns upon mind-controlling other villains or stealing their things (though [[{{Hypocrite}} he did try to steal other villains' ideas]] in one episode). Isn't too fond of murderous intergalactic dictators either.
585* {{Greed}}: Conning people into giving him dough is his specialty.
586* ImprobableWeaponUser: He can flick hair gel, which hardens like cement.
587* {{Leitmotif}}: Although not exclusive to his character, Seymour's presence is usually companied by blaring Game Show music with trumpets and high-pitched piano music.
588* NobodyTouchesTheHair: Screw up his hair, and he won't hesitate to fight you.
589* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Seymour [[Creator/OrlandoBloom Orlando Smooth]].
590* OutOfFocus: Is absent in Season 1 and 7 and doesn't talk in Season 3 and 5. Coincidentally, these are all odd numbered seasons.
591* TheRival: With Beau Handsome.
592* SiblingsInCrime: Several instances have his brothers help him carry out an EvilPlan.
593* SurroundedByIdiots: His brothers. They don't even know the answer to 1 + 1.
594* SmarmyHost: Seymour is a [[SmugSnake smug]], [[{{Narcissist}} narcissistic]] game show host who's obssessed with his own appearance and fights with hair gel and gold chains. That he rigs his games against his contestants is the icing on the cake.
595* SmugSnake: Seymour can be pretty arrogant at times, and doesn't always think his plans through, or stops to understand his opponents' tactics.
596* TwinkleSmile: It's so bright it can blind people. It's actually a set of false teeth.
597* WorldsBestCharacter: In his mind, at least, he's the world's greatest emcee.

604----
605* AdaptiveAbility: His super suit adapts according to his analysis of his opponents.
606* AmbiguouslyHuman: His long cone shaped head is odd even for [=WordGirl=] standards.
607* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Once he sees something, he learns it and adapts to it.
608* BarrierWarrior: His suit can create an energy shield that can stop even [=Wordgirl=].
609* BewareTheSillyOnes: He may be an odd man voiced by Music/WeirdAlYankovic, but his AdaptiveAbility allows him to counter nearly anything Wordgirl throws at him.
610* {{Expy}}: Of Taskmaster from Marvel Comics. Also, his suit is similar to the original outfit of DC Comic's Calculator.
611* GracefulLoser: After [[spoiler: being defeated in his last appearance, he shows no signs of a VillainousBreakdown]].
612* InASingleBound: He can jump very high using energy springs from his suit.
613* InsistentTerminology: Believes his way of speaking to be the correct way, and gets annoyed at people who speak normally.
614* {{Leitmotif}}: A techno beat.
615* ItOnlyWorksOnce: Attacks and tactics used on him the first time don't work again after he learns them.
616* SmugSnake: After learning how to anticipate all of [=WordGirl=]'s attacks he becomes so confident that he thinks that Captain Huggy Face is not worth learning from, no prizes for guessing who comes up with a plan to defeat him.
617* {{Troll}}: He enjoys driving [=WordGirl=] nuts with his way of speaking.

626* AlliterativeName: '''H'''al '''H'''ardbargain.
627* ArmsDealer: Many of the villain's weapons, such as Chuck's sandwich crusher, were invented by Hal.
628* {{Cyborg}}: He has a mechanical right arm, as well as a mechanical eyepatch.
629* DeadpanSnarker: When he's not [[FauxAffablyEvil putting on a friendly act for his clients]], he's usually this.
630* FauxAffablyEvil: He acts chummy toward his customers, but he's really just trying to butter them up so they'll be more willing to buy.
631* GadgeteerGenius: He builds all the gadgets that he sells himself.
632* {{Greed}}: Hal will use any trick in the book to squeeze more money out of his customers, from emotional manipulation to outright deception.
633* HonestJohnsDealership: Even though Hal charges a pretty penny for his gadgets, they tend to break down easily--which leads to his clients taking the gadgets back to him for repairs, spending even more money.
634* MeaningfulName: "Hardbargain" is a rather appropriate name for a shady, greedy salesman.
635* NoHonorAmongThieves: Unlike most other ''[=WordGirl=]'' villains, who tend to [[EvilIsOneBigHappyFamily get along with each other and have a code of honor]], Hal is perfectly willing to con his fellow villains if it will yield a profit.
636* OutOfFocus: He had major roles in three episodes of Season 4, but afterwards rarely appears except for one episode of Season 6.
637* PermaStubble: It adds to his shifty appearance.
638* PlayingBothSides: On multiple occasions, Hal has helped both [=WordGirl=] and the VillainOfTheWeek as part of a scheme. In "Rat Trap", he sells inventions to Dr. Two-Brains, then tells [=WordGirl=] about Two-Brains's plans so she'll show up to confiscate the machine, thus forcing him to buy more things from Hal. In "Hal the Haggler", he sells weapons to both [=WordGirl=] and Granny May that counteract each others', which starts a LensmanArmsRace between the two that Hal profits off of.
639* {{Slimeball}}: He's motivated purely by self-interest, uses underhanded tactics to gain a profit, and will gladly turn against the other villains if it means he'll make more money.
640* TheStoryteller: He often rambles about villains who used to come to his store, much to his customers' annoyance.
641* WelcomeToEvilMart: He runs "Hal's Villains Supply Shop", a store for villains to obtain gadgets and props for their evil schemes. In one episode, he temporarily converted it into a "Superhero Supply Shop" in order to sell items to [=WordGirl=] (as part of a GetRichQuickScheme, natch).

647->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JeffreyTambor
648A smug, childish, and greedy businessman out to line his pockets with even more money than he already has. He usually relies on mind control devices to achieve his goals, though on occasion has tried other means with little success.
649----
650* AlliterativeName: His real name, Shelly Smalls, repeats the letter "S".
651* BerserkButton: '''DO NOT''' gloat about how much richer or bigger you are than him. He won't take it well.
652* BewareTheSillyOnes: He's a big ol' goof who's childishly obsessed with bunnies, but manage to piss him off, and your mind and free will forcibly become his new plaything.
653* ChildHater: Isn't fond of children, though he tries to be friendly to them in public.
654* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Is the head of his business but also actively goes out of his way to do immoral deeds to get richer.
655* ConArtist: Not as bad as Seymour, but some of his schemes include using mind control to force people to buy his bogus products.
656* CutenessProximity: For squishy things, mainly bunnies.
657* DickDastardlyStopsToCheat: Could've carried out his scheme in "Ears to You" very legitimately, but throws in mind control just for the hell of it. This is even lampshaded by Mr. Big himself.
658-->'''[=WordGirl=]:''' Now why would you try that...?\
659'''Mr. Big:''' Hey, you can't get to the end of a Mr. Big story and not have any mind control.
660* DominoMask: Is never seen without it, even on vacation.
661* EmbarrassingFirstName: Possibly an issue for him, as his real name is revealed to be Shelly Smalls in "Truth, Revision, and the Lexiconian Way".
662* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: [[HypocriticalHumor Leslie has stated outright that Mr. Big has no sense of humor]], though this is more out of not understanding the concept of a set-up and punchline rather than being a cold-hearted felon.
663* EvilIsHammy: He chews up the scenery like no other villain, though his hamminess is balanced by Leslie's monotone and dull attitude.
664* EvilIsPetty: Took over the minds of everyone on Earth once, just because his neighbor borrowed his casserole dish for a little too long.
665* {{Greed}}: He's already rich, as he's the head of a multi-million company, and could live very comfortably. He does what he does because he wants more money, and that's it. He also takes time out of every day to count his money, an activity he looks forward to.
666* GreenAndMean: He's a scheming, {{greed}}y businessman who sports some green. His mind-controlled victims also sport green eyes.
667* {{Malaproper}}: He explains that he only ever took business classes.
668* {{Manchild}}: He's one of the most powerful villains, but he's very childish and petty, whines and throws tantrums if he's in a bad mood or loses, and is very attached to bunnies.
669* MassHypnosis: Most of his schemes and episodes featuring him involve this.
670* MindControl: It's in his business plan.
671* MindControlDevice: His main weapon. He uses them so much that [=WordGirl=] gets genuinely confused when he appears to not have a mind control device in "Mr. Big's Big Plan".
672* OutlawCouple: With Leslie, although rather than a romantic partner, she's his overworked, underpaid, and underappreciated assistant.
673* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: In "Big Business", he more or less admits that his company doesn't actually ''do'' anything besides his mind control schemes.
674* RealMenWearPink: He has a love for squishy bunny toys. Sometimes they factor into his evil schemes, like in "Invasion of the Bunny Lovers".
675* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Doesn't care to do anything legally cause he's richer than anyone.
676* SharpDressedMan: The guy cleans up nicely.
677* UnEvilLaugh: Compared to the other villains, Mr Big's laugh is usually awkward and clunky.
678* UnfortunateNames: With a name like "Shelly Smalls", it's no wonder he insists on being called "Mr. Big".
679* VillainousFriendship: With Leslie, who is someone he's shown he absolutely needs. Also with Two-Brains.
680* VillainWithGoodPublicity: He's basically the [[ComicBook/{{Superman}} Lex Luthor]] of ''[=WordGirl=]''.

692* BerserkButton: Getting the name or details of "The Pretty Princess and Magic Pony Power Hour" wrong.
693* CannotConveySarcasm: Due to her monotone voice, it is sometimes hard for characters to tell whether or not she's being sarcastic. Even she has a hard time figuring it out at times.
694-->'''Leslie:''' Brilliant as usual, sir.\
695'''Mr. Big:''' Thank you, Les--- Wait... are you being sarcastic?\
696'''Leslie:''' ''[Beat]'' I can't tell anymore, sir.

712* SecretaryOfEvil: Besides the many other things she does for him, she's also the secretary at Mr. Big's company.
713%%* SexySecretary
714* TookALevelInBadass: Becomes even more dangerous in "Leslie Makes It Big".

716* VocalEvolution: As mentioned above, she didn't speak in monotone in her early appearances, as her characterization hadn't been fully decided on yet.

719[[folder:Victoria Best]]
720[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/victoria_lean.png]]
721->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KristenSchaal (speaking)
722A child prodigy whose parents expect her to be the best at everything she does.
723----
724* AbusiveParents: See MovingTheGoalposts.
725* AlphaBitch: While she certainly acts the part by being snobby, no one really likes her.
726* AmbiguouslyHuman: She's a completely normal girl. With laser eyes. That are genetic.
727* AnnoyingLaugh: Not her normal laugh, but her spiteful laugh that she has to force.
728-->Ha! Ha! Haaaaa!
729* BerserkButton: Telling her she's not the best or saying that someone other than her is the best at something.
730* CharacterCatchphrase
731** "I'm THE BEST!"
732** "VB, in!", a clear ShoutOut to Ryan Seacrest's sign-off in ''Series/AmericanIdol''.
733** "Eyes on the prize."
734* EvenEvilHasStandards: In "Don't Mess with the Best", using weapons she stole from other villains, she defeats [=WordGirl=]. But when Dr. Two-Brains tells her she has to finish her off completely, she can't bring herself to do it.
735* ExtracurricularEnthusiast: A negative example. She's forced by her parents to be "the best" at every activity. She's genuinely good at all of them, and flaunts her overachieving, but is a bratty, egotistical, and narcissistic jerk and a SoreLoser.
736* EvilCounterpart: The members of her family are oddly similar to Becky's in appearance; along with her parents she has a younger brother and an intelligent pet. And when you think about it, Becky's and Victoria's personalities have quite a few comparisons: they are both very competitive, excel in whatever they do, and are particularly arrogant. The only difference is the side they fight on. They also both wear sweater-and-skirt-based outfits.
737* EvilGenius: A ChildProdigy and EnfantTerrible.
738* EyeBeams: They pull whatever they hit into her hands: great for stealing or collecting.
739* FreudianExcuse: The reason why she acts the way she does is because her AbusiveParents pressure her to be perfect.
740%%* GirlishPigtails
741* GlowingEyesOfDoom[=/=]RedEyesTakeWarning: Along with her parents.
742* ItsAllAboutMe: She constantly claims she is the best at everything and doesn't care what the others think about her bragging.
743* {{Leitmotif}}: A harpsichord ditty.
744* LightIsNotGood: She might be a blonde girl with a somewhat angelic theme, but she is still an EvilGenius who gets in [=WordGirl=]'s way.
745* LivingWithTheVillain: She, an EnfantTerrible, goes to the same school as [[TheHeroine [=WordGirl=]]].
746* MeaningfulName: Her last name is "Best", and her first name is derived from "victorious"--fitting for a master of many skills (and a narcissist).
747* MindControlMusic: One of her many talents is her recorder-playing skills. She can play her recorder so well that anyone who hears it falls into a trance.
748* MovingTheGoalposts: Victoria's parents are never happy with ''anything'' she does, acting like she's a failure even when she's just done something amazing. They always complain that she isn't doing ''better'', or achieving ''more''. They do this to a completely unrealistic extent, for example wondering why she can't just magically develop superpowers better than [=WordGirl=]'s.
749* MindControl: Via playing her recorder. She can't control people per se, but her music freezes them in place while she goes about her business stealing their stuff, and then makes them forget about it afterward.
750* TheNicknamer: Heh. Beckface...
751* RandomlyGifted: While her mind control powers are explained by her being a talented recorder player, there's no given explanation for her eye beams.
752%%* TheRival
753* SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack: She dresses as she goes to a private school.
754* SecondPlaceIsForLosers: She always has to be first place. Second place isn't good enough.
755* SmallNameBigEgo: Although Victoria believes she's the greatest at everything, that simply isn't true. [[VillainHasAPoint Tobey]], [[SmugSnake of all characters]], once even [[LampshadeHanging called her out]] on this when she stated that she was better than [=WordGirl=].
756* SoreLoser: She doesn't take it well when she doesn't win, and neither do her [[AbusiveParents parents]].
757* UnEvilLaugh: She's good at several things, but pulling off effective {{Evil Laugh}}s? Not so much.
758* VillainExitStageLeft: Often leaves with "V Best, ''out''!"
759* WellDoneDaughterGirl: Many of her actions add up to hoping to make her AbusiveParents proud of her to no avail.

762[[folder:General Smoochington]]
763[[quoteright:720:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/general_smoochington_promo.png]]
764The pet and sidekick of Victoria Best. He is a lowland western gorilla and Huggy's evil counterpart.
765----
766* ApatheticCitizens: One of the least emotional and expressive characters.
767* DudeWheresMyRespect: Doesn't get much respect from Victoria and has never won anything because of her.
768* EvilCounterpart: To Huggy given that he's the sidekick of [=WordGirl=]'s evil counterpart.

770
771[[folder:The Whammer]]
772[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/whammer.jpg]]
773->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JohnCMcGinley
774A muscle-bound man with the power to make powerful sonic booms by bringing his fists together. He inserts the word "wham" or variations thereof at least once into each sentence. Example: "Wow, that was so whammer!"
775----
776* AbsurdPhobia: The episode "Silence of the Whams" reveals The Whammer is afraid of bubbles. This is because bubbles are the only things he cannot wham.
777* BoisterousBruiser: You'd be hard-pressed to find a more bombastic character on the show.
778* {{Crunchtastic}}: His tendency to use the word "wham" tends to lead to adjectives like this ("whammin'" being a particular favorite of his).
779* DemotedToExtra: Lacks any speaking or major roles in Season 8.
780* DumbMuscle: Whatever he lacks in brains, he definitely makes up for it in his strength.
781%%* TheFool
782* GaleForceSound: Powerful enough to shatter rock and send [=WordGirl=] flying. It can also cancel out Victoria Best's MagicMusic.
783* HornyVikings: He doesn't claim to be a Viking, but he does wear the helmet.
784* LargeHam: '''Wham!'''
785* NoIndoorVoice: He always speaks at a level that's almost yelling.
786* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Often annoys fellow villains this way, especially Chuck.
787* NotSoHarmlessVillain: He may be an idiot, but there's no denying that he's one of the most powerful characters in the series. In "Crime In The Key Of V", he easily reduces the city to rubble.
788* SuperStrength: He can wham the entire city into rubble easily.
789* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: In "The Power of Whamship", he and the similarly [[TheDitz ditzy]] and [[NoIndoorVoice loud]] Invisi-Bill team up. They have the time of their life, and even accept their arrest with a smile, as they'll get to be roommates in jail.
790* VerbalTic: The word "wham".
791* VillainsOutShopping: Towards the end of "As Something as Something", he's playing basketball with a couple of cops and Big Left Hand Guy.

793
794[[folder:Nocan the Contrarian]]
795[[quoteright:334:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nocan_promo.png]]
796->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DaranNorris
797A barbarian warrior from the faraway land of Contraria. He speaks and acts in opposites, similar to Bizarro from ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}''.
798----
799* {{BFS}}: He has a giant sword that can create earthquakes when it strikes the ground.
800* CommanderContrarian: His entire theme is doing the opposite of what anyone tells him to do.
801* CoolBoat: Sails a Viking longship.
802* DeflectorShields: Can generate them with his sword.
803* {{Expy}}: Is a parody of Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian.
804* GoodIsBadAndBadIsGood: How he's defeated. If you say something along the lines of "I want my electric bill raised", he'll scream, "No, ''lower''!" and when they ask him to stay, he leaves.
805* {{Irony}}: He gets confused by OppositeDay.
806* LargeHam: ''No! SMALL HAM!'' [[AC: Nocaaaaaaaaan!]]
807* {{Leitmotif}}: Triumphant trumpet music, usually whenever plants his sword in the ground.
808* PunctuatedForEmphasis: He often does this as part of his LargeHam tendencies.
809* PunnyName: Based on Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian's name. The first two consonants of his name are reversed to make "Nocan", similar to the phrase "no-can-do". And, of course, he's a "contrarian" instead of a "barbarian".
810* ReversePsychology: Anything you say to him, he'll take it as the exact opposite of the message you were trying to get across.
811* SuperStrength: As mentioned below.
812* SwordPlant: He's so strong that doing this triggers earthquakes.
813* WalkingShirtlessScene: His armor barely covers his chest, leaving his nipples in full view at all times.
814* WellIntentionedExtremist: In "Opposite Day", he's just trying to replace the sail of his boat so he can get home. The only reason he's even an antagonist is because A: he's trying to steal the sail, and B: the sail in question is a valuable golden one. [=WordGirl=] even helps him out at the end of the episode by getting him a trampoline to use as a replacement sail.

816
817[[folder:Birthday Girl / Eileen]]
818[[quoteright:239:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eileen_wordgirl.png]]
819->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/PamelaAdlon
820A greedy little girl who thinks every day is her birthday. She demands that anyone she meets give her whatever she wants. If she is refused, she will throw a tantrum and grow into a hulking green behemoth.
821----
822* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: When she can't get the "birthday gifts" she wants, she grows in size to the point of being a literal huge threat to the city.
823* BerserkButton: She wants things her way, and if you don't let her, [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever you will be sorry]].
824* CharacterCatchphrase: "MINE! MINE! MINE!"
825* DemotedToExtra: Lacks any speaking or major roles in Season 6 and 8.
826* ElmuhFuddSyndwome: It's a bit subtle, but she talks like this, probably to play a FakeCutie role.
827* EvenEvilHasStandards:
828** She is usually calmed down by doing something generous, like wishing a girl happy birthday or releasing Mrs. Botsford after kidnapping her briefly.
829** She sometimes allies with the other villains for a greater good, like stopping Miss Question from escaping after she captures all the villains and drives them out of Fair City, and partakes in the fight against Miss Power with the other villains, hoisting up Kid Potato so he could attack Power.
830* {{Expy}}: Of ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk and [[Franchise/WonderWoman Giganta]]. Like these characters, she turns giant when she gets angry.
831* EvilRedhead: Though she tends to be more bratty than outright malicious, either way, she's one of the villains and has red hair.
832* FluffyTamer: Eventually becomes the Energy Monster's master.
833* {{Greed}}: If she wants something, she'll get it, and if she doesn't get it, bad things happen.
834* HairTriggerTemper: When she doesn't get what she wants.
835* HulkingOut: Her transformation reverses if she does something generous.
836* ItsAllAboutMe: Her top priority is getting ''her'' way. After all, today's her birthday.
837* {{Leitmotif}}: An ominous and immature piano tune.
838* SizeShifter: Grows bigger and greener as she gets angrier.
839* SpoiledBrat: As put by the Mayor in one episode, it's cheaper to buy her as many toys as she wants than to let her destroy the town. Other than that, she thinks ''every'' day is her birthday and will use that to get whatever she wants.
840* SuperStrength: When she has grown in size to the point of being an AttackOfThe50FootWhatever.
841* {{Troll}}: Purposefully mimics Becky's every move in one episode just because it's her birthday.

846->'''Voiced by:''' John Henson
847Captain Tangent is an annoying waiter who is prone to telling boring stories and then going off on even more boring tangents. He becomes a pirate-themed criminal after discovering his power. His sidekick is a talking parrot named Oscar.
848----
849* EveryoneHasStandards: Thinks Invisi-Bill is annoying even for him and has Oscar fly him away when he comes next to him in "The Power of Whamship."
850* EyepatchOfPower: Going with the pirate theme.
851* FatalFlaw: His MotorMouth trait has gotten him fired and constantly losing to [=Wordgirl=].
852* HookHand: He wears a hook hand as part of his pirate schtick.
853* MotorMouth: He rambles on and on about his experiences, much to everyone's dismay.
854* {{Pirate}}: He's a pirate-themed criminal.
855* APirate400YearsTooLate: {{Subverted}}--he's not a real pirate, but a waiter at a pirate themed restaurant. Then it's DoubleSubverted when he becomes a criminal, making him an ''actual'' pirate.
856* PirateParrot: His assistant, Oscar.
857* SelectiveMagnetism: Which works on any metal, even gold.
858* TalkLikeAPirate: His faked pirate accent.

863->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LarryMurphy
864A villain who's less of a villain and more of a [[ButtMonkey fumbling, comic relief character]].
865----
866* ButtMonkey: He gets no respect from anyone.
867* ADayInTheLimelight: He's usually a gag character, but he gets promoted to VillainOfTheWeek in "Oh, What a Tangled Rope You Tie, Amazing Rope Guy".
868* DeadpanSnarker: Can be this sometimes.
869-->''([=WordGirl=] ties up Amazing Rope Guy)''\
870'''Amazing Rope Guy:''' Aw, darn.\
871'''[=WordGirl=]:''' And you won't be getting out either! I used the Pegasus! The strongest knot-\
872'''Amazing Rope Guy:''' ''(impersonating [=WordGirl=] mockingly)'' -in the world! Yeah, I know, I've heard of it! My whole thing's ropes, remember?
873* DemotedToExtra: Lacks any speaking or major roles in Season 6 and 8.
874* GiftedlyBad: He was once hired as an entertainer at Becky's school, doing rope tricks. The kids were not impressed.
875* HiddenDepths:
876** He can make great dioramas.
877** He's so good at impressions that the only time he had any success as a villain was when he used his mimicry skills to impersonate other villains.
878* {{Idiosyncrazy}}: Rope.
879* LaughablyEvil: Probably the most prominent in the series, which is saying a lot considering that the other villains include the likes of Chuck (who, while successful at his job, does ''not'' give that impression), Invisi-Bill, and Big Left Hand Guy.
880* MundaneMadeAwesome: The only things he's good at are impersonations and tying knots.
881* NonIndicativeName: He's... really not that amazing.
882* NotSoHarmlessVillain: He once got an episode where he pulled off several successful heists by impersonating other supervillains, using [[TheDreaded their reputations]] to make his victims surrender without a fight.
883* PaperThinDisguise: His villain disguises in "Oh, What a Tangled Rope You Tie, Amazing Rope Guy" aren't exactly the best, but they still manage to fool most of the city.

885
886[[folder:Energy Monster / Maria]]
887[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/energy_monster_promo_9.png]]
888->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MariaBamford (Dinner or Consequences)
889Born from a freak accident at an energy plant, the Energy Monster is a giant monster made of static electricity. She tries to consume electricity in order to further increase her size. She is normally unable to speak, but one episode temporarily gave her speech, revealing that she is a girl named Maria.
890----
891* ArrogantKungFuGuy: One of Maria's tangents in "Dinner or Consequences" reveals that she believes herself to be [=WordGirl=]'s most dangerous opponents, as she starts [[PlatoIsAMoron listing all of the other villains that she thinks are weaker than her]].
892* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: She towers above the city at her largest sizes.
893* ChemistryCanDoAnything: [[ParodiedTrope Parodied]]. The Energy Monster originated as an expanding ball of electricity at a power plant, which gained sentience after the workers poured an experimental serum, gamma rays, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and soda]] on it.
894* EnergyBeing: The Energy Monster is made of pure electricity.
895* EvilIsAngular: The Monster has a very angular design reminiscent of a cartoon lightning bolt.
896* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: The Energy Monster is... well, a monster made of energy. Though it should be noted that this is just what other characters call her--the monster is actually named Maria.
897* FemaleMonsterSurprise: "Dinner or Consequences" reveals that the Energy Monster is female, and her preferred name is "Maria". Unlike her speech, this reveal actually sticks for the rest of the series, as she's consistently referred to as "her" in future episodes.
898* GenkiGirl: When she gains the ability to speak, she's revealed to have a very upbeat and energetic personality.
899* ImpossiblyGracefulGiant: She has human-like agility even at her largest sizes. {{Justified|Trope}}, as being an EnergyBeing means she would have no mass to slow her down.
900* IncredibleShrinkingMan: The Energy Monster will shrink if she expels too much electricity to attack, gets [[KillItWithWater doused with water]], or is used as a battery to power something. In every episode she's in, she gets defeated by being shrunken down to a tiny, harmless size.
901* ItCanThink: In her earlier appearances, the Energy Monster appears to be a simple-minded creature. She first shows signs of intelligence in "That's Entertainment", where she gets into a power plant by disguising herself as an engineer. "Dinner or Consequences" reveals that, with the right equipment, she can communicate in fluent English.
902* {{Kaiju}}: Most of her episodes feature her growing enormous and going on a rampage in the city.
903* KillItWithWater: As a being of pure electricity, the Energy Monster is naturally weak to water.
904* MakeMyMonsterGrow: The Energy Monster grows in size by consuming electricity, eventually reaching {{Kaiju}} sizes once she eats enough.
905* MotorMouth: Once the normally-voiceless Monster gains the ability to speak, she ''really'' uses it to her advantage. Her constant talking ends up annoying Two-Brains so much that he sabotages his own plan by spraying her with water just to get her to shut up.
906* PersonalityPowers: She's a being of pure electricity, so it's no surprise that her true personality is highly energetic and hyperactive.
907* SamusIsAGirl: Before TheReveal that the Energy Monster is female, she was believed to be a male, with both the characters and the official website referring to her as such.
908* ShockAndAwe: Since she's literally made of electricity, touching her is a great way to get yourself electrocuted. She can also fire lightning to attack.
909* SmallRoleBigImpact: In "A World Without [=WordGirl=]", the Energy Monster only has a short amount of screen time, but she kicks off the episode's conflict by overcharging the Botsfords' oven, [[ItMakesSenseInContext giving Becky's birthday cake wish-granting powers]].
910* TheSpeechless: The Energy Monster can only speak in distorted electric roars. The one exception is "Dinner or Consequences", where Dr. Two-Brains's power helmet translates its roars into English, which the Monster revels in.
911* SuddenlySpeaking: In "Dinner or Consequences", Dr. Two-Brains puts a helmet on the Energy Monster to power his machine, which has the side effect of allowing her to talk. Sadly, the helmet is destroyed by the end of the episode, [[StatusQuoIsGod taking away her speech once again]].
912* {{Tuckerization}}: An InUniverse example. Maria named herself after her favorite character from a movie. In real life, [[TheDanza she shares the same name as her voice actress, Maria Bamford]].
913* VillainousGlutton: Her only goal is to continuously consume energy so she can keep getting bigger.

918->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/BrianPosehn
919Dr. Two-Brains's self-proclaimed number one fan. After being rejected as the doctor's temporary replacement, he devoted his life to trying to outdo his idol.
920----
921* AscendedFanboy: He ''tries'' to become this, after getting an offer to become Dr. Two-Brains's substitute while he's on vacation. When he gets rejected, he changes his goal to trying to outright ''replace'' him.
922* BrokenPedestal: He lost his respect for Dr. Two-Brains after being rejected as his replacement. Unlike most cases of this trope, it doesn't serve to make him sympathetic, instead showcasing how petty and entitled he is.
923* CheapCostume: His "Dr. Three-Brains" ensemble is just his regular outfit, with the addition of two rubber brains duct-taped to his head.
924* CreativeSterility: His attempts to outdo Dr. Two-Brains's crimes basically amount to committing the exact same crimes, but slightly altered. For example, instead of stealing the world's largest cheesecake, he places a single strawberry on top so he can steal the world's largest ''strawberry'' cheesecake. Even his codename is absurdly uncreative--instead of coming up with an original identity, he calls himself "Dr. ''Three''-Brains".
925* DemotedToExtra: He only had two major roles in Season 1. After that, he was restricted to silent cameos.
926* EntitledBastard: He felt entitled to be Two-Brains's substitute just because he was the Doctor's self-proclaimed "biggest fan". Making this even worse is that [[KnowNothingKnowItAll he isn't nearly as knowledgable about the Doctor as he thinks he is]], and all of his ''own'' evil plans are [[HarmlessVillain comically ineffective]].
927* EvilIsPetty: His entire motivation for wanting to usurp Dr. Two-Brains is that he got rejected by him ''once''.
928* EvilNerd: He's a Dr. Two-Brains fanboy who has a stereotypical geeky appearance.
929* HarmlessVillain: Despite [[SmallNameBigEgo claiming to be a better and smarter villain than Two-Brains]], none of his plans are very good; they include building a statue of Dr. Two-Brains out of paste and setting up fake discount signs to buy cheese at a low price. The only time he remotely posed a threat was when he banked off Two-Brains's work in "Doctor Three-Brains".
930* ImYourBiggestFan: Of Dr. Two-Brains, though this admiration quickly turns bitter.
931* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Even though he says he knows everything about Dr. Two-Brains, his impersonation of the latter is severely lacking; he has to be corrected on what "gloating" means ''during'' his EvilGloating, and doesn't even know what fondue is.
932* NotGoodWithRejection: Glen's rivalry with Dr. Two-Brains started because the latter rejected his application as a temporary replacememt.
933* PaperThinDisguise: His Dr. Two-Brains disguise consists of nothing but a stolen lab coat and a cheap rubber mask. Needless to say, [=WordGirl=] is not fooled.
934* SuperiorSuccessor: He wants to be this to Dr. Two-Brains, though he isn't very good at it.
935* SmallNameBigEgo: Despite fancying himself as a super-genius and a superior villain to Dr. Two-Brains, Glen is a total wuss who can't develop an original idea to save his life.

941A very popular television chef, known for his catchphrase "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!" Supposedly, his beef stew is so good, it makes people cry.
942----
943* EvilCounterpart: Evilier in this case. Compared to the Butcher, he has no redeeming qualities about him.
944* FeetOfClay: He isn't the master chef he claims to be--his famous beef stew is actually pre-made canned food, and he uses onions to make his contestants cry.
945* {{Jerkass}}: Enjoys making people cry and is a fraud.
946* KickTheDog: His show involves contestants comparing their homemade cooking to his, and crying is their food tastes worse.
947* OnionTears: He uses freshly-chopped onions to make people cry, claiming that it's because of his amazing cooking.
948* PunnyName: His surname is a reference to demi-glace, a French brown sauce.

953->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TomKenny
954A snazzy, mustached villain whose trademark is a quick, clean getaway.
955----
956* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Repeatedly outdoes Dr. Two-Brains's crimes in his self-titled episode, making the latter [[GreenEyedMonster extremely jealous]].
957* BadassNormal: Steve has no superpowers, but he manages to pull off a multitude of heists and become Fair City's most wanted criminal in a matter of days, all while staying one step ahead of [=WordGirl=].
958* CallingCard: He leaves one at his first heist at the grocery store.
959-->''"Another quick getaway by Steve [=McClean=]. Making the world a cleaner place, one crime at a time."''
960* DemotedToExtra: His only major appearance is in "The Ballad of Steve [=McClean=]", with him only getting cameos afterward.
961* EscapeArtist: He specializes in making snazzy, untraceable getaways.
962* {{Idiosyncrazy}}: Cleanliness. He always cleans up the crime scene befire escaping, and often steals cleaning supplies to do so.
963* MrFanservice: He's about as close to this trope as you can get on a PBS Kids show, being a well-groomed and fashionable young man with a ton of in-universe {{Fangirl}}s.
964* NeatFreak: His gimmick is to clean up the crime scene before making a getaway. This turns out to be his undoing, as Two-Brains manages to trap him by blocking the exit of the grocery store with melted cheese.
965* PunnyName: His name is a reference to [[Creator/SteveMcQueenActor Steve McQueen]].
966* TheQuietOne: Only speaks in the end of his debut episode.
967* UnknownRival: To Dr. Two-Brains.
968* VillainInAWhiteSuit: It's actually a white custodian outfit, but the way he wears is definitely indicative of this trope.
969* VillainWithGoodPublicity: His charming looks and daring escapes make him very popular with the city's populace, even though he's a known thief.
970* VocalDissonance: When he finally speaks at the end of the episode, he's revealed to have a nasally, nerdy voice, contrasting with his stylish appearance. Dr. Two-Brains is not impressed.
971* WeaksauceWeakness: [[NeatFreak He's extremely perturbed by messes.]] He's eventually caught when Dr. Two-Brains covers the floor of the grocery store in melted cheese, causing Steve to get distracted cleaning it up.

Lady Redundant Woman angrily destroys him.[[/labelnote]]
978----
979* ArtAttacker: He can spray blue paint from his hands.
980* CoolHorse: He rides around on a horse which was brought to life from another painting.
981* {{Greed}}: He demanded that Lady Redundant Woman make a horse copy for him from a painting. In fact, 'greedy' was the vocabulary word of his episode.
982* {{Jerkass}}: Goes without saying that Royal Dandy is an unlikable SpoiledBrat, and it's a testament that his "horsie" runs off.
983* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: In the penultimate episode, "Art's Parts", the painting of him is destroyed by the Learnerer's art analyzer machine]].
984%%* {{Narcissist}}

986* RoyalBrat: He's entitled and whines when he doesn't get what he wants.
987* SmugSnake: Has an ego that rivals Seymour's (who's an example of this {{trope}} himself), and is even less able to back it up.
988* SpoiledBrat: Well, he's the copy of a painting of a prince and he's even more demanding. He'll whine when he doesn't get his way and goes on a rampage because he doesn't get what he wants.

1004* {{Yandere}}: As [=WordGirl=] explains to Tobey, "devotion" can quickly become "jealousy". This doesn't go well for him when he starts paying more attention to the real [=WordGirl=] than to [=WordBot=], who doesn't appreciate this.

1007[[folder:Dupey]]

1020An evil copy of [=WordGirl=] that Lady Redundant Woman creates from a picture of her.
1021----
1022* CardCarryingVillain: When your name is literally "Evil Malicious Worgirl", this is a requirement.
1023* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Just like her "mom", she has a habit of being redundant, such as saying she is "[=WordGirl=], a girl of words", and that she's bad, evil, ''and'' malicious.
1024* EvilKnockoff: She's a bad, evil, and a malicious copy of [=WordGirl=].
1025* KilledOffForReal: Via sprinkler.

1031->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AmySedaris (Rhyme) and Tyler Labine (Reason)
1032A criminal duo who appeared in the final episode. Reason is an ordinary criminal who steals [[BoringButPractical reasonable things]], while Rhyme is a superpowered nutjob who [[RhymesOnADime steals things that rhyme with whatever Reason is stealing]].
1033----
1034* AmbiguouslyHuman: Rhyme doesn't look any different from a normal human, but unlike her partner Reason, she has superpowers like super speed, super strength, and ice breath.
1035* BoringButPractical: Reason lacks the [[{{Idiosyncrazy}} idiosyncrasies]] of the other villains, instead simply stealing whatever is most convenient for him. Rhyme, on the other hand...
1036* BreakUpMakeUpScenario: Their arc in their titular episode, which [[PlotParallel directly parallels Becky's breakup with Violet]]. Reason ends his friendship with Rhyme over a disagreement on how to commit crimes. However, when Rhyme starts causing chaos without Reason, he talks out his differences with her, and they get back together.
1037* ChildhoodFriends: [[ImpliedTrope Implied]]. The two have been best friends for 15 years, and don't look any older than their [=20s=].
1038* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: Without Reason's guidance, Rhyme is unable to focus on anything, with her crimes eventually devolving into random chaos.
1039* ComboPlatterPowers: Rhyme has SuperStrength, SuperSpeed, and [[AnIcePerson Ice Breath]].
1040* FinalBoss: They are the final villains of the series overall.
1041* FriendshipTrinket: A pair of matching necklaces shaped like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Reason throws away his necklace after he breaks off their friendship, and she returns it to him once they patch things up.
1042* GogglesDoNothing: Reason wears a pair of goggles that don't seem to serve any purpose. In fact, he spend most of the episode with the lenses retracted.
1043* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: They are new characters that appear in the ''final'' episode of the series.
1044* LeastRhymableWord: They're defeated when Violet tricks Rhyme into trying to come up with a rhyme for "purple", which neither she nor Reason are able to do.
1045* MeaningfulName: Rhyme is [[RhymesOnADime obssessed with rhyming]] and stealing things that rhyme, while Reason is a CloudcuckoolandersMinder who keeps Rhyme in check. Together, their names reference the phrase "no rhyme or reason", AKA something that doesn't make sense.
1046* MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: Reason's an ordinary human without any special abilities, while Rhyme possess a mix of super speed, super strength, and ice breath.
1047* NotQuiteFlight: Rhyme can use her SuperSpeed to "fly" via momentum from jumping off objects at high speed, including ramps she makes with her freeze breath.
1048* PlotParallel: Their friendship troubles mirror that of Violet and Becky's after Violet finds out about Becky's secret identity.
1049* RhymesOnADime: Rhyme always tries to rhyme her sentences with Reason's. Without him, she is unable to come up with rhymes on her own. She also tries to steal things that rhyme with what Reason steals (such as ''gold bars'' and ''old cars'').
1050* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Reason, [[MeaningfulName as his name would imply]], is the one responsible for keeping the manic, superpowered Rhyme grounded in reality.
1051* StupidEvil: Rhyme's commitment to the "rhyming crime" gimmick ''always'' causes them to get caught, to the point where Reason (temporarily) ends their friendship over it. When they get back together, Rhyme agrees to stop trying to steal rhyming things, though she stills makes RhymesOnADime.
1052* SuperBreath: Rhyme can freeze objects and people with her ice breath.
1053* TinyGuyHugeGirl: The female Rhyme is much taller than the male Reason.
1054* UngratefulBastard: How do they thank [=WordGirl=] for getting their friendship back together again? By attacking her.
1055* VagueAge: They claim to have been childhood friends for 15 years, and they clearly look like adults, but we never find out what their age actually is.
1056* WeaksauceWeakness: After revamping their friendship, they're so committed to their rhyming gimmick that they're genuinely stumped when Violet says "purple", giving Wordgirl enough time to break free and defeat them.

1060[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/misspowerpose2.png]]
1061->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JaneLynch
1062A new supervillainess introduced in the [[BigDamnMovie four-part special]] "The Rise of Miss Power". She comes to Earth pretending to be a superheroine and takes [=WordGirl=] under her wing, while secretly preparing to take over and not really caring about the city's wellbeing.
1063----
1064* BewareTheSuperman: She thinks that her power gives her the right to be the city's dictator.
1065%%* BlackAndWhiteInsanity
1066* BloodKnight: A female example, or at least has shades of being one; she outright tells [[spoiler: all the villains who were teaming up in hopes of defeating her]] to BringIt and she's enjoying herself during much of the fight.
1067* BrutalHonesty: She often has zero issues speaking her mind.
1068-->'''[[MrExposition Exposition Guy]]:''' ''Help!'' [[EnfantTerrible Tobey's]] robots are rampaging through the city! Wait, is this...\
1069'''Miss Power:''' No [this] isn't the police station, look around you and use your ''brain''.
1070* TheBully: She specializes in using cruel words to hurt others.
1071* CharacterCatchphrase: When she flies, she shouts, "Power up, up, and away!"
1072* TheCorrupter: While training [=WordGirl=], she brings out the worst in her, and soon everyone else, turning them into bullies like her.
1073* DeadpanSnarker: She has moments of making snarky comments while dissing other characters. Unlike some cases, it's unlikely this {{trope}} is supposed to make her funny, though.
1074-->'''Miss Power:''' [''To [=WordGirl=]''] Ok, [[ShutUpKirk I think that was a ridiculously horrible speech]] and I think your name should be [[{{Pun}} [=WeakGirl=]]]!
1075* DrunkWithPower: As her name suggests. She nearly corrupts [=WordGirl=] as well.
1076* EmotionEater: [[spoiler: She draws strength from negative emotions like feeling upset or uncertain. If everyone is happy and confident, she loses her powers.]]
1077* EvilCounterpart: She's [=WordGirl=] if she was cruel and decided her powers give her the right to take control instead of merely protecting others.
1078* EvilIsAngular: It's fitting that she, the biggest threat in the show's entire villain lineup, has a character design made almost entirely of triangles.
1079* EvilIsDeathlyCold: [[BreathWeapon Ice breath]] is one of her superpowers and she's one of the evilest characters in this series.
1080* HateSink: Cruel, remorselessly arrogant, deceitful, and bullying. Yeah, that'll do it. It says a lot that not only do the other villains not hold a candle to her level of evil but [[EvenEvilHasStandards they all team up against her]].
1081* HidingBehindYourBangs: Of the [[spoiler:deception/concealment]] type. [[ReptilesAreAbhorrent She has a reptilian eye under her bangs]].
1082* HumanAliens: She looks like a human, but when her visor is removed, she has a reptilian eye.
1083%%* IShallTauntYou:
1084* KarmaHoudini: Being the darkest adversary WordGirl has ever faced in the entire series, she is also the only villain that doesn't get incarcerated after her defeat. Instead, she vows revenge and flees away off into space... and is never seen, herd, nor mentioned again afterwards.
1085* KnightOfCerebus: Completely outclasses [=WordGirl=] in power, is much smarter and more serious than the other villains, and nearly takes over the world. It is implied that she doesn't know what the word "triumphant" means though.
1086* KnightTemplar: Probably the only villain to genuinely believe what they do is good.
1087* LackOfEmpathy: If you're not named Miss Power, then don't be surprised if she doesn't truly care about your feelings.
1088* LaughablyEvil: The only villain in the show who averts this. While the other villains are comical and even polite to [=WordGirl=] at times, Miss Power is truly evil and taken seriously.
1089* LightIsNotGood: Wears white, but is a villainess.
1090%%* ManipulativeBitch:
1091* SatanicArchetype: Or at least the closest a series like this can get to one. Miss Power is a case LightIsNotGood who comes to UsefulNotes/{{Earth}} pretending to be heroic, but is actually planning on [[TakeOverTheWorld taking it over]]. She gives [=WordGirl=] constant false encouragement and pretends to be a helpful mentor to her, but is really corrupting her and only views her as a means to her goal, tempting her with benefits like more time for herself and Sparkle Toes.
1092* ScrewTheRulesIHaveSupernaturalPowers: See BewareTheSuperman.
1093* SmugSuper: You can thank her superpowers as to why she's arrogant and believes she can do whatever she damn well pleases.
1094* SuperpowerLottery: She has all of [=WordGirl's=] powers ({{Flight}}, SuperSpeed, SuperStrength, SuperSenses, NighInvulnerability), along with EyeBeams, [[AnIcePerson Ice]] [[SuperBreath Breath]] (which she teaches [=WordGirl=] how to use), and possibly more.
1095* TakeOverTheCity: She eventually tries to take over Fair City, although it appears to be [[TodayXTomorrowTheWorld part]] of her [[TakeOverTheWorld conquest]] of Earth.
1096* TakeOverTheWorld: She seeks to become Earth's ruler.
1097* TodayXTomorrowTheWorld: She seems to want to start her [[TakeOverTheWorld conquest]] of Earth with [[TakeOverTheCity Fair City]].
1098* TwoFaced: One-half of her face has a lizard eye.
1099* VileVillainSaccharineShow: By far the darkest villain in the show. She almost killed Dr. Two-Brains with her laser eyes and nearly took over Fair City.
1100* VillainousBreakdown: Once [=WordGirl=] finally gets the better of her, she {{Rage Quit}}s, fleeing Earth while ranting that if she leaves of her own volition, then it doesn't count as losing.
1101%%* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity
1102* WouldHurtAChild:
1103** She gives [=WordGirl=] quite the beating when the latter starts rebelling against her.
1104** When she dumps all the villains in prison after taking over, Tobey can be seen languishing in his own cell. She leaves a ten-year-old in a concrete cell for ''hours''. In addition, this is one of the only times Tobey is ever seen in jail - unlike the other villains, he isn't used to this.
1105** During the CurbStompBattle Tobey attempts to step on Miss Power using a robot, but she simply stops the robots foot with here strength and pushes it away, causing it to loose balance. Had it not been for Charlie and 'Meatloaf' he, along with Sally Botsford would've been seriously injured or killed.
1106** Although they only make cameos, Victoria and Eileen also partake in the final battle against Miss Power, implying that they also had to break out of prison after Miss Power placed them there.
1107*** One thing's for sure though, Miss Power had no issue tying Eileen up in cables.
1108* YellowEyesOfSneakiness: [[spoiler: A downplayed variant. Miss Power has one yellow eye and she's a sly manipulator]].

1140-->'''Mrs. Botsford:''' It's time to show this Miss Power why the rest of the city can't ''stand'' you guys!
1141* CuteButCacophonic: Her voice can get very screechy when she's excited.
1142* GeniusDitz: She's usually only ''slightly'' less goofy and out-of-it than her husband, but the first time we see her in the courtroom, she proves terrifyingly competent and composed, not letting control of the trial of Granny May slip for a second and refusing to fall for the sort of tricks she'd likely buy in her home life.

1210* DoesNotLikeSpam: ''Hates'' pineapples. "Pineapple of My Eye" is all about Chuck trying to crush every pineapple in the city for her birthday present.

1231* NarratingTheObvious: He's literally the personification of this trope, showing up [[ContrivedCoincidence wherever Becky is, whenever anything of importance is going on, confused and thinking it's the police station.]] He does it at the start of "[=WordGirl=] Makes a Mistake, Part 2" after [=WordGirl=] has already been captured. It gets him tossed into the trap with [=WordGirl=].
1232* NoSenseOfDirection: He's the definition of this.
1233* PlotDevice: Is actually called this by [=WordGirl=] and the Narrator.
