[[folder:Bravoman]]
!! Bravoman, Super-Unequaled Hero of Excellence!
-> '''Voiced by''': Creator/RobPaulsen (web show), Creator/TetsuInada (''VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom'')
-> ''"'''Wahoo!''' The best part [of being a hero] is having my own logo!"''
[[quoteright:237:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/whataguy.PNG]]
[[caption-width-right:237:''Ain't nobody who's not a fan of the guy called'' '''''BRAVOMAN!''''']]
The hero of the story. Originally an ordinary businessman, this once-mere mortal was entrusted with three powerful items by Alpha Man, an alien from the planet Alpha: [[TransformationTrinket a metal rod, a tuning fork and a 100-yen coin]]. From these, a brand-new hero was born...somehow: '''Bravoman, Super-Unequaled Hero of Excellence!'''
----

* BewareTheNiceOnes: For the most part, he's affable and easy-going. That being said, he can easily kick the collective asses of Dr. Bomb and his creations.
* DubNameChange: In the games, he went from Beraboh Man[[note]]Ridiculous Man[[/note]] to Bravoman.
* FourthWallObserver: Along with almost all of the cast. [[spoiler:Because of his ability to do this, it's revealed that this constitutes for actual power in the Reverse Universe arc.]]
* HollywoodToneDeaf: The web series reveals he's a very poor singer.
* LoafingInFullCostume: Bravoman wears his superhero suit like it's his casual clothing. The only time he's ever seen without it is during his OriginStory and when he takes it off as a disguise to get away from Waya-Hime. According to the web series, he apparently he sleeps with his suit on and wears his helmet ''in the shower!''
* {{Manchild}}: He's an adult man, but he acts like a teenage boy, more concerned with video games than heroics.
* {{Mascot}}: Of Platform/ShiftyLook, arguably (at least when the site was still active).
* TheMentor: In ''VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom'' he acts as this to Wonder Momo.
* MundaneUtility: His ability to stretch his arms often results in this.
* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Despite having been a businessman, he spends less of his time doing [[BuffySpeak business-things]] and more of his time playing video games and goofing off.
* RubberMan: Capable of stretching his limbs very far.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: Has one on.
* TheUnchosenOne: Alpha chose him to be Bravoman purely on the basis that he looked like he'd fit the costume.
-->'''Bravoman:''' ''GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME!''

[[folder:Alpha Man]]
!! Alpha Man
-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/RobPaulsen
->''"Okay, '''''next time''''' my planet is facing certain doom, I will definitely e-mail myself a reminder."''
[[quoteright:218:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alphaman.PNG]]
[[caption-width-right:218:''I am Alpha Man, an alien from the planet Alpha!''[[note]]'''Bravoman:''' Well, that's...redundant...[[/note]]]]
Bravoman's sidekick and mentor, an alien from the planet Alpha who gave Bravoman the [[TransformationTrinket conduits]] of his power.
----

* AnnoyingVideoGameHelper: {{Parodied}} in a teaser for the web series.
-->'''Alpha Man:''' Bravoman, listen up! Use the headbutt--
-->'''Bravoman:''' Okay, ''shut up'' for a sec! And, y'know, you can save the wrist communicator for when we're more than ''five feet'' apart.
-->'''Alpha Man:''' Aww, but...it's so ''cool.''
* TheMentor: To Bravoman.
* PhraseCatcher: Whenever he announces his name and home planet in the same sentence he gets told it's redundant.
* PowerFloats: He is capable of floating.
* Really700YearsOld: He was a young...Alpha...1,200 years ago.
* ShipperOnDeck: In "''Heavy Meta Mayhem''", he relishes the opportunity to help Waya-Hime plan her wedding with Bravoman (to the latter's chagrin).
* {{Sidekick}}: Prefers to let Bravoman take care of things while he sits back and relaxes.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Zed]]
!! Zed
A baby of the monstrous Zulu's species. Currently, he's relatively harmless and Alpha Man's pet.
----

* HereWeGoAgain: [[spoiler:Turns out that Zulu was Zed's miniature size when a younger Alpha Man took him in as a pet 1,200 years ago.]]
* TeamPet: For ''now...''
* ThemeNaming: Much like Zulu is named for the last letter in the [=NATO=] code alphabet, Zed is named for the Non-American pronunciation of the letter Z.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Lottery Man]]
-> ''"SNAAAACKS! Who wants snacks?! Lottery Man has got your snacks!"''
[[quoteright:167:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lotteryman.PNG]]
[[caption-width-right:167:''I like snacks!'']]
A snack-serving robot from Alpha's home planet.
----
* FlatCharacter: Dude's obsessed with snacks, and that's his one character trait.
* IncomingHam: See his character quote? Those were his ''first-ever'' lines.
[[/folder]]

!!Other Heroes
[[folder:Bravo Woman]]
!! Bravo Woman, Girl Hero of Maximum Justice!
-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/JenniferHale

[[quoteright:317:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bravowoman.PNG]]
[[caption-width-right:317:''My character hasn't been fleshed out yet.''[[note]]'''Bravoman:''' Uh, yeah, uh...sorry about that. I'll...I'll get the writers on that really soon.[[/note]]]]
Bravo Woman acts as a competent female counterpart to Bravoman...not that she likes being tied to him.
----
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: While Bravoman has extending limbs and the ability to turn into a submarine, she's a FlyingBrick. [[spoiler: It's eventually revealed that she even has a better ''headquarters'' than Bravoman]].
* BadassCape: Unlike Bravoman's scarf, she wears a cape as her choice of neckwear.
* CanonImmigrant: She's a playable character in ''Bravoman: Binja Bash!''
* DistaffCounterpart: At first, it appears like she's this to Bravoman. It's a SubvertedTrope, though, because despite the similar names and suits, their powers are completely different and she's arguably more successful and competent than he is.
* GirlishPigtails: She has pigtails peeking out under her helmet.
* OnlySaneWoman: Tries to be a serious superhero [[spoiler:complete with double life]] while Bravoman goofs off and blunders into Dr. Bomb's schemes.
* PaletteSwap: Her uniform is mostly the same as Bravoman's, but with the green and yellow parts of his costume switched around.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Bravo Woman is the only female member of the Bravo Corps.
* TwoAliasesOneCharacter: [[spoiler:Turns out that she's also Bravoman's lawyer.]]
* WomenAreWiser: Of all the Bravo-people, she's definitely the smartest.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Theta]]
!! Theta
[[quoteright:235:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thetabravoman2021.PNG]]
[[caption-width-right:235:''The lesson here is [[SpoofAesop weapons solve everything]].'']]
Bravo Woman's sidekick, and the creator of her weapons.
----
* BaitAndSwitchCharacterIntro: When Bravo Woman enters her HQ, the audience sees the barrel of a gun behind Bravo Woman. Theta states that "this is the end" for Bravo Woman... only for the next strip to reveal her saying that it is the end of Bravo Woman not owning a quantum disintegrator cannon.
* CanonForeigner: She was created for the webcomic.
* DistaffCounterpart: To Alpha. She's an alien sidekick to the main hero, not unlike him. However, she plays an active role in helping Bravo Woman, while Alpha generally lets Bravoman handle the trouble.
* GunNut: She's created all sorts of high tech weapons for Bravo Woman.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Brave Man]]
!!Brave Man, Counterfeit Hero of Extreme Profit!
[[quoteright:185:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bravemanapril2021.PNG]]
An egotistical copycat of Bravoman.
----
* CanonForeigner: He was made for the comic.
* MilesGloriosus: He took up the Brave Man alias to mooch off of Bravoman's popularity. The only time he's ever "fought" anyone is when he's merged with the other members of the Bravo Corps.
* TheLoad: He becomes this easily when put into situations requiring combat. [[Justified]] because he's a TV actor rather than a real superhero.
* OneWayVisor: Unlike all the other Bravo-people, his visor obscures his eyes.
* ParodyRetcon: [[Invoked]] InUniverse. He escapes being imprisoned in "copyright infringement jail" due to declaring himself a parody of Bravoman.
* YourCostumeNeedsWork: From his first encounter with Bravoman:
-->'''Bravoman:''' Don't I look a little '''familiar?'''\\
-->'''Brave Man:''' Hmm... well, of course! But I don't think your ''cosplay'' got my colors quite right.

!!The Bad Guys

[[folder:Dr. Bomb]]
!! Dr. Bomb
-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/DeeBradleyBaker
[[quoteright:217:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/drbomb.PNG]]
[[caption-width-right:217:''Dr. Bomb welcomes you all mostly!'']]
Bravoman's nemesis, who is probably just as bumbling as he is.
----
* AnimeHair: He has a ridiculous BeehiveHairdo. In the games, it was shaped like broccoli, or a mushroom cloud.
* BigBad: Though half the time he just [[NonActionBigBad mucks around, doing nothing]].
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: A master of it. For example:
-->'''Dr. Bomb:''' Momentarily, the moment of your destruction will ''imminently'' commence, at the destructive hands of ''Dr.'' '''''BOMB!'''''
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: [[spoiler: Averted. While it was stated he was the BigBad behind the reverse universe and laid the planet to waste, he had been removed a long time ago by Anti-Bravoman, and didn't even appear in the story.]]
* RedRightHand: A robotic ''left'' hand, to be exact.
* IntentionalEngrishForFunny: He's been described as talking like a Hong Kong DVD subtitle by Bravoman.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Waya-Hime]]
!!Waya-Hime
-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/RomiDames
-> ''"Hi, cutie! Are you dead yet?"''
[[quoteright:147:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hime_7.PNG]]
[[caption-width-right:147:''I just wanna cuddle [Bravoman] until I can '''hear his ribs cracking!''''']]
One of Dr. Bomb's elite minions, and a ninja princess. She has an unreciprocated crush on Bravoman.
----
* AuthorityInNameOnly: Despite being a princess, she doesn't do anything princess-y.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Her first appearance involves her calling Bravoman cute, and cheerfully yelling about how she's going to stab him.
* HighlyVisibleNinja: Let's see... Bright outfit: Check. Pink uncovered hair: Check. Showing yourself to your target to announce your love and intention to stab them: Double check.
* OnlySaneWoman: Not the normal version of her, but her counterpart in "''Bravo the Barbarian''" [[spoiler:as well as her reverse universe counterpart.]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Whenever she's really mad or stabby. Or both.
* StalkerWithACrush: Towards Bravoman, even though she's supposed to kill him.
* {{Yandere}}: She has a huge crush on Bravoman yet goes through with her job to kill him, all with a smile on her face. Alpha misidentifies her as a reverse {{Tsundere}}.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Anti-Bravoman]]
!!Anti-Bravoman, Shadowed Doppleganger of Ebony Reflection!
-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/DeeBradleyBaker
-> ''"I hate everyone. In a totally '''not'''-emo way!"''
[[quoteright:238:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/antibravo.PNG]]
[[caption-width-right:238:''Ain't a soul who tries harder than '''ANTI-BRAVOMAN!''''' ''Yeah!'']]
Anti-Bravoman is a grim and brooding anti-hero...or so he'd like to think. In reality, he's a dorky loser.
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: His suit is purple in the web series, probably so people can see any overlapping body parts.
* AdaptationNameChange: From the game's Black Bravoman.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the arcade game, he's a stock EvilCounterpart to Bravoman (though [[spoiler:he is revealed to be a StealthMentor to Bravoman at the end]]). In the webcomic, he's an IneffectualSympatheticVillain who acts like a brooding EmoTeen.
* ButtMonkey: If someone on the evil team is going to be hurt or humiliated, it's him. It gets to the point where the rest of the Bravo Corps [[spoiler:activate their FusionDance by [[ItMakesSenseInContext beating him up]].]]
* EmoTeen: Well, not a teen, but he fits the archetype.
* EvilCounterpart: He prefers to style himself as an AntiHero and a dark reflection of Bravoman, but he lacks the badass-ness to qualify as either.
* GuestFighter: Well, not ''fighter'', but he's one of the 18 dateable characters in ''VideoGame/NamcoHigh''.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: He tries to be a brooding anti-hero, but he's just so awkward that he lacks any real ability to be a threat.
* LoafingInFullCostume: Unlike Bravoman and Bravo Woman, who we have seen without their suits, Anti-Bravoman is ''never'' seen with his suit off. It's unknown if he even has a body, or if the suit ''is'' his body.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Downplayed. Anti-Bravoman, while harmless, normally tries to play himself up as an anti-hero rather than a villain. [[spoiler: His villainous alternate universe counterpart goes right into BloodKnight territory, but even ''he'' considers himself a hero.]]
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Well, he's not ''evil'', but he'd like to be regarded as a threat.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: His scarf is usually wrapped around his mouth.
* StalkerWithoutACrush: In contrast with Waya-Hime, who wants to date/kill Bravoman, Anti-Bravoman is more concerned with being Bravoman's nemesis. He is shown frequently watching him from rooftops, and the web series shows that he has a scrapbook filled with pictures of Bravoman (and even ''a lock of his hair'').
* UnknownRival: Bravoman is aware he exists, but has no clue that Anti-Bravoman considers him a foe or works for Dr. Bomb.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: He was "born" when Bravoman was created, so he looks about the same age, but Waya-Hime notes that he's not even two yet.

[[caption-width-right:293:'''Waya-Hime:''' ''Meet Benjamin, the heavy metal ninja '''of PAIN!'''''[[note]]'''Bravoman:''' [[OhCrap Meep!]][[/note]]]]
An elite Binja warrior.
----
* EightiesHair: He has a luscious mane of hair, despite being [[RobotHair a robot]].
* SuddenlyVoiced: One day, he gets a voice chip, revealing he speaks with [[TotallyRadical a lot of lingo.]] Eventually, Dr. Bomb switches it back.
* WhiteMaskOfDoom
[[/folder]]

!!Independent Antagonists
[[folder:Pistol Daimyo]]
!! Pistol Daimyo
[[quoteright:236:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pistol.PNG]]
A fan of Bravoman, who seems to be obsessed with putting him through dangerous trials.
----
* DubNameChange: From Pistol Daimyo to Pistol Lord in the video games.
* {{Ninja}}: Goes without saying, right?
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Komuso]]
[[quoteright:168:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/komuso.PNG]]
One of the Daimyo's students. She wears a wicker basket over her head, so as to hide her ugly face.
----
* BraidsOfAction: She has her hair in one long braid, and she is a skilled fighter.
* DefeatByModesty: Non-sexual example. Bravoman defeats her by pulling off her wicker basket, which shames her into quitting the fight.
* TheFaceless: Her face is censored when the wicker basket is taken off her head.
* LetsFightLikeGentlemen: She agrees to fight Bravoman only if he has a weapon to defend himself. Subverted in that after handing him his weapon, she easily destroys it and then attempts to kill him, implying the "honor" thing was bogus.
-->'''Komuso:''' My personal code of honor does not allow me to kill an opponent who hasn't been given a chance to defend themselves.\\
''[Komuso slices Bravoman's spear into three parts]''\\
'''Bravoman:''' You...\\
'''Komuso:''' Now I may kill you.
* IAmNotPretty: According to her, she's allegedly hideously scarred, but the other two characters who have seen her face comment on there just being a pimple or a rash on her face.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Camo]]
[[quoteright:269:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/camo.PNG]]
One of the Daimyo's students. He thinks he is an expert in the art of camouflage.
----
* HighlyVisibleNinja: {{Parodied}}. He thinks he's a master at camouflaging himself, when in reality he thinks hiding behind a few pots of plants make him hidden.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Miss [=McKunai=]]]
[[quoteright:199:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kunai_7.PNG]]
A teacher at Ninja Sprite Academy.
----
* SternTeacher: She's very tough, but ultimately does encourage Waya-Hime's escape plans to be better.
* PetTheDog: She is impressed with Waya-Hime's distraction, and gives her assignment a B+.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Zulu]]
!!Zulu
[[quoteright:282:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zulu2021.PNG]]
An "evil intergalactic war-monster thing", as described by Alpha Man. Once Alpha Man's pet alien, he grew to massive heights and began to destroy Planet Alpha.[[spoiler:..except, not actually. Zulu is a being of pure energy that uses its hosts as a means to wreak havoc and destruction.]]
----
* AliensSpeakingEnglish: It mostly communicates in screeches, but once [[spoiler:Bravo Master]] has it on the ropes, it responds to his offer of surrender with a defiant "never". [[spoiler:Once Zulu merges with Dr. Bomb and returns for the final arc, he starts speaking clear English.]]
* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler:During the "''Death of Bravoman''" arc, he returns for one final bout to destroy Bravoman once and for all.]]
* CanonForeigner: He was created for the comic.
* EnergyBeings: [[spoiler:Zulu's true form resembles a glowing sphere with six eyes inside of it.]]
* FusionDance: [[spoiler:It fuses with Dr. Bomb in the final arc, because the bad doctor was "carrying" some of Zulu's essence.]]
* HurlItIntoTheSun: [[spoiler:Bravo Master does this during his fight with Zulu.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: It presents a very strong challenge and requires [[spoiler:the Bravo-people fusing together to defeat it]]. When [[spoiler:Zulu returns in the final arc, there is a lot more gravitas and seriousness laid on its final appearance.]]
* OctopoidAliens: Is described by Bravoman as a "cyber octopus", and loosely resembles one.

!!Reverse Universe Characters
[[folder:Reverse Bravoman '''(UNMARKED SPOILERS)''']]
!! Reverse Bravoman/Reverse Anti-Bravoman
[[quoteright:211:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/revantibravo.PNG]]
[[caption-width-right:211:''This world doesn't need a jester. It needs a real hero. A solemn guardian. '''[[IronicEcho A dark]] [[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay avenger]]...''''']]
Bravoman's reverse universe counterpart. At least, that's what he would like you to believe. In truth, he's Reverse Anti-Bravoman, and he's been PlayingBothSides the entire time, so he could save the day and look like a hero.
----
* DeathByIrony: He rails against the comic's constant use of meta humor and is defeated in the most meta way possible: by being punched through the borders of the panels, tumbling into the void below.
* DisneyVillainDeath: Once Bravoman and Salaryman punch him out of the story, he falls between the borders and is [[NeverFoundTheBody never seen again]].
* EvilHero: He plays the role of the leader of the resistance but in reality set up the whole war to indulge his own heroic delusions.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has a scar over his right eye.
* KnightOfCerebus: Once he reveals his true identity, he and his actions are considerably NOT PlayedForLaughs ''at all.'' This is actually an ExploitedTrope, because he wants to be taken seriously by the world and its narrative.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: You'd never think ''Anti-Bravoman'', of all people, would be a threat, but this guy's living proof that's not the case.
* PlayingBothSides: He created all the villainous threats in the Reverse Universe so he could look like a hero.
* SelfMadeOrphan: It's heavily implied he killed Reverse Dr. Bomb.
* SoreLoser: His reactions to characters getting the upper hand on him is to call them "cheaters".
* TwoFaced: Once he reveals his true identity, the right side of his body is black, while the left side of his body has the normal suit colors.

----
* BabiesEverAfter: Apparently he wants to start his own family, which unnerves regular Bravoman.
* FourthWallObserver: {{Exploited}} by Reverse Anti-Bravoman, who uses his meta powers to trap him so that the story can go the way he wants it to go.
* LivingBattery: Reverse Anti-Bravoman is using him this way to power the Fifth Wall.
