3* CompleteMonster: [[EvilOrphan William "Billy" Hayes]], better known as [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Harm]], was a [[TeensAreMonsters teenage supervillain]] and a complete sociopath. Adopted by loving parents, Harm initially terrified his adoptive younger sister Greta, her fears proven right when Harm [[ElectrifiedBathtub murdered her in her bathtub]] to seal a demonic pact and give himself superpowers. His goal was to become the world's greatest murderer, and he decided to hunt down and destroy all the kid heroes before moving on to the big leagues. He captured Red Tornado and reprogrammed him as a suicide bomber against Pope John Paul II to make a name for himself in the supervillain community. When his father, realizing what he was, killed Harm with a gunshot to the back, Harm's spirit later returned. He [[DemonicPossession possessed his father]] and used his body to enact more evil deeds, none more enjoyable to him than screwing with Greta, now the ghostly heroine Secret, by making her think her father never truly loved her. When defeated, Harm, out of sheer spite, forced his father to throw himself into one of the fire-pits of Apokolips while Harm possessed him to kill them both.
4* HoYay:
5** Only one time, and nothing sexual, but when Arrowette and Wonder Girl's moms found out they went on a co-ed camping trip with the boys, they flipped their lids and went to give the girls what-for... only to find them asleep in their own tent, holding hands, with Secret in mist form hovering asleep around them.
6** Tim Drake and Conner Kent[=/=]Kon-El. Full stop.
7** Empress is ''very'' protective of Cissie, and seems kind of like a StalkerWithACrush towards her.
8** Fite n' Maad live together, and have plenty of LikeAnOldMarriedCouple moments.
9* JerkassWoobie: ComicBook/{{Superboy|1994}} may be abrasive, arrogant, and displays SkewedPriorities, but even his long-suffering teammates realize that he's a StepfordSmiler with serious problems.
10* MyRealDaddy:
11** Peter David is this for Cassie Sandsmark, Wonder Girl. Prior to YJ, she'd been regarded as something of TheScrappy. After YJ ended, and she joined ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'', she became a CreatorsPet. But during David's YJ, she gained enough demonstrable popularity that when David staged a readers' poll to elect the next YJ leader, Cassie won despite being the only candidate who'd never had her own solo series.
12** Really, this kind of fits every member of the "[=YJ4=]" (a nickname given to [[Comicbook/{{Robin}} Tim]], [[ComicBook/Superboy1994 Kon]], [[ComicBook/{{Impulse}} Bart]], and [[ComicBook/WonderGirl Cassie]] after their transfer to Teen Titans) alongside OnlyTheCreatorDoesItRight; while Creator/PeterDavid didn't create any of them, he did construct the chemistry and interactions that made this comic successful while still adhering to their portrayals at the time in their own books. In contrast, Geoff Johns and other creators are often accused of not understanding the appeal of the relationships and frequently retconed their pasts and personalities. While some may argue that Johns managed to pull it off, almost no other writer has ever managed to make Young Justice fans happy. For evidence, go to the ComicBook/TeenTitans YMMV page and check out how Cassie is back in TheScrappy category.
13* NarmCharm: Harm looks and acts much like the most stereotypical NinetiesAntiHero, but still manages to be ''terrifying''.
14* TheScrappy: Slobo/Lil' Lobo was a polarizing figure among fans and writers. The final issue of the series saw him transformed [[AndIMustScream turned into a living statue]] and he has not been seen or mentioned since. DC editor-in-chief Creator/DanDiDio reportedly despised the character, and claimed that he nearly ruined the original Lobo. Of course, [=DiDio=] disliking a character [[ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} hasn't]] [[ComicBook/WallyWest always]] [[ComicBook/Batgirl2000 translated to]] [[ComicBook/Batgirl2009 similar feelings among fans]], but unlike most, there has been very little fan outrage due to this grudge.
