Good Guys
Axe Cop (Axey Smartist)
Voiced by: Nick Offerman (Fox show), Dave DeAndrea (motion comics)
- Anti-Hero: He may be fighting on the side of good, but he's very brutal about it.
- Badass Normal: While he does have some powers, they're very minor compared to everyone else.
- Big Eater: Axe Cop eats nothing but cake and wish food, but he's always incredibly fit and ready to fight crime. Then again, it might be subverted: he only sleeps two minutes a day, and spends the other 23 hours and 58 minutes fighting crime. He must burn calories like Guy Montag burns books.
- Blood Knight: He dedicates his entire life to fighting bad guys, with only two minutes of sleep each night, he's stated that he'd get bored if he became president and killed all the bad guys, and if he had a magic wand, he would use it to turn every alien in the universe evil just so he could kill them.
- Catchphrase: "I'll chop your head off!"
- Cool Shades: Fitting the 80's Hardline Cop archetype the artist modeled Axe Cop off of, he's always shown wearing large aviator's shades.
- Cowboy Cop: Not that we're ever shown a precinct or a police chief that Axe Cop reports to, but a police officer who hacks criminals and innumerable other 'bad guys' with an axe and feeds them poison apples certainly isn't going by the book.
- Does Not Like Guns: He finds fighting bad guys with handguns like normal police boring. Although he has been forced to use them on occasion, such as when some of his worst weapons backfired on him.
- Fatal Fear: Despite how strong he is, Axe Cop still has one major fear: TALKING GORILLAS. Until Junior Cobbb feeds him a Gorilla-Loving Pill, that is.
- He-Man Woman Hater: He doesn't allow girls on his team, except for the Best Fairy Ever. Presumably because Malachai is six.
- That is, until Axe Girl came along.
- Good Is Not Nice: He beheads bad guys with an axe, among innumerable other questionable actions, but he only does it to the bad guys. He tends to suffer a Heroic BSoD or otherwise strives to make things right when he learns he killed innocent people.
- Guile Hero: That was a secret attack.
- Hammerspace: Axe Cop With Lemon's lemon grenades
- Happily Married: To Water Queen at the end of "Axe Cop Gets Married"
- Heroic BSoD: Goes into one in the animated series after realizing he's murdered good guys. He only snaps out of it when the others give him "a super-secret birthday gift": the identity of who killed his parents.
- Infinity +1 Sword: Axe Cop With Lemon's axe
- Killer Cop: Hoo boy. His kill-count often reaches into the dozens on a daily basis.
- Lantern Jaw of Justice: He's a heroic (If rather violent) cop depicted with a prominent square jawline, fitting the hardline 80's cop aesthetic the artist was aiming for.
- Master Poisoner: Along with his axe, a favourite tactic of Axe Cop to end fights quickly is to give bad guys poisoned food. The artist notes how most would find this evil, but his brother thinks poisons are great to end fights quickly and pragmatically. Axe Cop has a variety of poisons, especially for some of the strange threats he goes up against.
- Meaningful Name: He's a cop who wields an axe. Go figure.
- Nobody Poops: As revealed in the first episode of the cartoon, "My body is 100% efficient and uses everything I eat. I don't poop."
- Our Minotaurs Are Different: As Axe Cop Lava Bull in Bad Guy Earth.
- Pals with Jesus: He's had a direct line to God ever since he became President of Presidents.
- Psychopathic Manchild: Type E.
- Punny Name: His real name, "Axey Smartist". It also works as a pun on his previous occupation, driving a taxi.
- Real Men Love Jesus: He prays for the sharks.
- Secret Legacy: The last issue of The American Choppers reveals that Axey was an infant refugee from the General Planet, making him the General of All Axes and making the Smartists his first set of Muggle Foster Parents.
- Super Cop: Well beyond just a hot-blooded Cowboy Cop, the threats Axe Cop deals with go well beyond a beat cop's paygrade. But with his axe skills and many allies, he'll take on alien invasions, giant cyborg zombies, and many more in the pursuit of justice.
- Super Mode: Axe Cop With Lemon, Axe Cop Fire, and Axe Cop Lava Bull.
- Weaksauce Weakness: When surprised, he melts.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Axe Cop is terrified of talking gorillas. They are his greatest fear.
- Wig, Dress, Accent: Axe Cop uses a variety of disguises at his disposal. He dresses up as a cat while killing bad guys in their sleep at night, he occasionally wears a baby suit, he dresses up as Ethan for comic conventions, and he occasionally disguises himself as a regular cop (he switches his axe with a gun).
Flute Cop (Flutey Smartist) / Dinosaur Soldier / Avocado Soldier / etc.
Voiced by: Ken Marino (Fox show), Eric Bauza (Rug Burn motion comic), Lee Gordon (Promo Scape motion comic), Maurice LaMarche (as Avocado Soldier only in Promo Scape motion comic)
- Butt-Monkey: He never stops transforming. Although many of these forms make him even more powerful, he never gets to use his true form, even when he tries. Even Axe Cop has stated that his best friend is Sockarang and not Flute Cop, who has been his sidekick since the first comic.
- This is averted in the animated series, where he is not only still human, but married. Dinosaur Soldier and Avocado Soldier appear in one episode, but Flute Cop returns in the next episode.
- Cool Shades: Like Axe Cop, he wears large aviators to fit the cop aesthetic.
- Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Unlike Axe Cop, who actually has a real name, it seems that his name actually is Flute Cop.
- This seems to have been a mistake in the early comic, as later on in "Ask Flute Cop" we more logically see his name given as Flutey Smartist.
- I Have Many Names: Due to his many transformations. The same character has gone by the names Flute Cop, Dinosaur Soldier, Avocado Soldier, Uni-Avocado Soldier, Ghost Cop, Drag-Tri-Ghostacops Rex, Viking Cop, Bear Cop, Zombie Bear Cop, President Zombie Bear Cop, Rat Cop...
- The Lancer: To Axe Cop.
- Luke, I Am Your Father: He's Axe Cop's brother, but they forgot after backing into each other.
- Minored In Ass Kicking: His minor was in Criminal Justice. His major was in flute class. However, it appears that flute classes in the Axe Cop world involve learning how to fight with flutes.
- Musical Assassin: While we've never seen him use his Flute Cop form in battle, his fighting style evidently involves him distracting people by blowing into his flute.
- The animated series has shown Flute Cop making bad guys' heads explode by playing the recorder.
- Only Sane Man: In the cartoon, he usually points out the bizarre leaps in logic in Axe Cop's plans.
- Our Presidents Are Different: He became President of the United States by eating President Towzerd's brain. (He was a zombie bear at the time.)
- Shapeshifter Default Form: Interestingly, in between storylines he seems to revert by unspecified means to a default form... but that form is Dinosaur Soldier, not his original form of Flute Cop.
- Sleeves Are for Wimps: Dinosaur Soldier.
- Somebody Set Up Us the Bomb: As Ghost Cop, his secret attack is to phase through his enemies and leave grenade bombs inside each one before they know what hit them.
- Truly Single Parent: He has a baby named Wexey that he wished for with his unicorn powers.
- Averted in the animated series, where he and his wife Anita are the adopted parents of Uni-Baby.
- Unicorn: As Uni-Avocado Soldier.
Sockarang (Socky) / Good Bad Santa
Voiced by: Patton Oswalt (Fox show), Sam Brown (motion comic)
- All There in the Manual: His real name is Socky, but you'd only know that from reading the production notes in the Bad Guy Earth collection.
- Brought to You by the Letter "S": Actually, his emblem is a sock in the shape of an S.
- Chick Magnet: Although he rejects his fangirls' affection since he's in love with the Best Fairy Ever.
- Detachment Combat: Uses his sock boomerang arms to fight.
- Heart Is an Awesome Power: His power is having sock arms. And he's still a badass.
- Legacy Character: His father was a sock fighting superhero before him.
- Bad Guy Earth clarifies that while his whole family were converted into sock fighters, his father only ever taught superheroes without being one himself.
- Mad Scientist: He's driven by love—he seeks to defy the exaggeration of Huge Guy, Tiny Girl.
Baby Man
Voiced by: Michael Madsen (Fox show), Ethan Nicolle (motion comic)
- Adaptational Villainy: Became the villain of the animated episode "No More Bad Guys" for being deemed more interesting than Telescope Gun Cop in the role of jealous wannabe teammate.
- Catchphrase: "Shake what your baby gave ya!"
- Fartillery: For a while, his sole power was the ability to fly by farting.
- Something Person: In addition to Baby Man, there's also his family members, Baby Dad, Baby Mom, Baby Kid, and Baby Baby.
- The Voiceless: Except for the aforementioned catchphrase.
- Averted by the cartoon.
The Wrestler
- Badass Normal: Even on the official character bios, his powers are listed only as "He's a wrestler."
- Captain Ersatz: Ethan has stated that we was designed after the Ultimate Warrior.
- And his superior, the Wrestler Boss (seen in Bad Guy Earth and Ask Axe Cop) is based on Hulk Hogan.
- Out of Focus: After the first arc left him a tiny biting robot, he didn't reappear until a later comic demonstrated his battle cry, which also included defunct forms of Flute Cop. An even later comic showed that he got better and is still alive.
Ralph Wrinkles / Axe Dog
Voiced by: Eric Bauza (Rug Burn motion comic), Big Lou Johnson (Promo Scape motion comic)
- Breath Weapon: He shoots a laser from his mouth.
- Cool Shades: How else could he be known as Axe Cop's canine companion without a matching set of aviator shades?
- Eye Beams: Though his are healing rays.
- Gadgeteer Genius: In The American Choppers, he creates a goat translator out of spare car parts on the spot, and apparently he assembled the robot army proposed in Ask Axe Cop #26.
- I Know Karate: Since Uni-Man wished he would.
Wexter
- Arm Cannon: Two of them.
- Canon Immigrant: First appeared in Ask Axe Cop #8.
Uni-Man
Voiced by: Peter Serafinowicz (Fox show), Brock Gallagher (Rug Burn motion comic), Sam A. Mowry (Bad Guy Earth preview)
- Butt-Monkey: At first.
- Fastball Special: Before he Took a Level in Badass, his combat role was limited to making wishes and being thrown horn-first at bad guys.
- Took a Level in Badass: Out of frustration with Dr. Stinkyhead at the end of "The Moon Warriors".
Leaf Man
Voiced by: Justin Ching
- Ambiguously Gay
- Subverted it was revealed he once had a wife.
- Circus Brat: His current occupation.
- Everybody's Dead, Dave: His whole family. Nobody knows how they died.
- Green Thumb: He apparently can control leaves, but seems to be limited to juggling them.
- Heroic Build: Averted. As opposed to a stereotypical buff superhero, Leaf Man is a scrawny 90-pound weakling.
The Best Fairy Ever
Voiced by: Deborah Ann Woll
- Interspecies Romance: With Sockarang.
- Master Poisoner: She has two types of poison powder—one that shrinks bad guys and one that kills giants.
- Pintsized Powerhouse: Her signature attack is to fly into bad guys' nostrils and punch her way out through the backs of their heads.
- Refugee from TV Land: Axe Cop pulled her out of his TV while he was watching a movie about fairies.
- Token Minority: She is literally the only female being in creation (besides Uni-Baby) allowed on Axe Cop's team.
The Moon Warriors (Vampire Wolfer and Fire Slicer)
Voiced by: Ed Skudder (Vampire Wolfer) and Shane Dawson (Fire Slicer)
- Elemental Powers: Fire Slicer can control...well, guess.
- Morph Weapon: Fire Slicer's sword, which can turn into a flaming stick as he's slicing a bad guy.
- Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: Lampshaded by the narrative text. They were "wizard ninja brothers from the moon" even before they started getting vampire bites and transformations.
- Omniglot: They speak every human and alien language due to doing ESL at moon school.
- Our Vampires Are Different: This only gets explained in the book, but Vampire Wolfer was born a vampire. He only got double vampire power when he was bitten by Vampire Man Baby Kid.
- Our Werewolves Are Different: Vampire Wolfer was born a werewolf and can change at any time because he lives on the moon.
- Uncertain Doom: They were presumed dead for over four years after "The Moon Warriors Go Camping", until Ask Axe Cop #101 explained how they survived their encounter with the God of All Bears and mountain-man Telescope Gun Cop didn't.
Lobster Man (Koko Mia)
Voiced by: Andre Braugher
- Evil Detecting Dog/Lobster/Man: His antennae can detect bad guys, a power later picked up by Axe Cop after being infected with lobster blood.
- Half-Human Hybrid: Sort of.
- Mix-and-Match Critters: He has a human head, lobster claws and antennae, and the back legs and tail of a German shepherd.
- Shapeshifter Mode Lock: Unlike his sister, who can turn into a dog at will, he permanently is stuck with a human head and a dog body.
Bat Warthog Man
Voiced by: Vincent Kartheiser
- Ascended Extra: He was originally just a one-off character from the Ask Axe Cop series before getting his own arc.
- Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs: A slightly more complex sort: bat, warthog, man—bat warthog, man—BAT WARTHOG MAN!
- Captain Ersatz: He's Batman, but part warthog.
- Cool Car: "The Power".
- Empowered Badass Normal: Unlike his namesake, Bat Warthog Man is at least capable of flight.
- Expy: When he first appeared on Ask Axe Cop, he showed traits very similar to Axe Cop. He even had an airborne tyrannosaur as a steed—specifically, his Bat Warthog T-Rex. These were dropped when he got his own arc.
- Mix-and-Match Critters: Bat Warthog, which is "the best two-animal combo" according to Malachai.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: When in Man form, Bat Warthog Man looks a bit like Rod Serling.
- Our Werewolves Are Different: Sort of. He only turns into his bat warthog form at night, because bats go out at night, and he was bitten by a bat warthog.
- Shaped Like Itself: A literal case: Bat Warthog Man wears a bat warthog mask to cover his bat warthog face. It's justified, too: his mask is more stylized, whereas his head is slightly more grotesque.
- Something Something Person
Wolver Man
- Abnormal Ammo: It can shoot bolts and fire tornadoes.
- Captain Ersatz: Of both Wolverine and Superman.
- Wetware CPU: His pet Iron Spider Cannon is a Cyborg directed by a mouse brain wired into its circuits.
Gray Diamond (Mark Frankenstein)
Voiced by: Rob Huebel
- Ascended Extra: Originally Gray Diamond was just one of several superheroes featured in the story "Bat Warthog Man Can't Find His Friend" only, but the producers of the animated adaptation loved Rob Huebel's performance so much that they made him a series regular.
- Blade Below the Shoulder: Can turn his hands into diamond swords that shoot diamonds.
- Captain Ersatz: Of Grey Matter from Ben 10.
- Mad Scientist: Combined the surviving brain of his dead comrade Sergeant G with a lion's and a cheetah's.
- Meaningful Name: Was probably named for the fact that he revived his best friend as a Frankenstein's Monster.
- My Brain Is Big: Inside the giant diamond on his head.
Gray Stone
- Author Avatar: Half his dialogue is clearly Ethan's Fridge Logic on being confronted with Malachai's ideas.
- Captain Ersatz: Again, of Grey Matter from Ben 10, but in a very different way to Grey Diamond.
- Chekhov's Skill: His ability to repair robots comes up later on.
- Gadgeteer Genius: He builds a rocket ship from scratch, without instructions!
- Inconsistent Spelling: The narrative sometimes refers to him as 'Graystone' without a space. The book collection made this spelling standard.
- Only Sane Man: Not that it gets him far in the Axe Cop universe.
- Opaque Nerd Glasses: When repairing robots.
Army Chihuahua
Voiced by: Giancarlo Esposito
- Badass Adorable: Depends on your opinions on chihuahuas, but it is in his name.
- Badass Normal: In his backstory when he was an ordinary soldier.
- Blood Knight: He only turns into his human form when he's not ready to fight, which is "almost never."
- Poisonous Person: In the guest arc "Revenge on Rainbow Girl", Army Chihuahua has a venomous bite that makes bad guys lose their tails... and die.
- Real Men Wear Pink: Before becoming a chihuahua himself, he was a tough, muscular, mustachioed army man...who owned a pet chihuahua. There's something inexplicably funny about seeing such a manly man say "Oh no! I forgot to feed my chihuahua!"
- Superhero Packing Heat: Has "army powers", which essentially seems to mean the ability to use a machine gun while in chihuahua form.
- What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: In any circumstance where he has to fight, he's forced to remain in the form of a chihuahua.
Chemist M
Voiced by: Peter Serafinowicz
- Author Avatar: The M stands for Malachai.
- Happiness in Slavery: Axe Cop bought him and he seems fine with it.
- Multiple-Choice Past: In the comic, he is an Author Avatar of Malachai, as stated above, who directly assists Axe Cop. He is an entirely different character in the animated series, where he is an aged English scientist (the smartest man in the world, no less) whose daughter, Isabella M, was held ransom by Adolf Hitler to force him to construct a zombie army for the Nazis long before the series' present day. (It isn't made clear whether this happened during World War II or some other time other than "a long time ago".) He has since become a zombie himself, but he was turned good by her daughter, who completed his secret work on a potion to turn zombies good.
- See the Invisible: The main reason Axe Cop needed him in the webcomic was to create a chemical that would let him do this.
Liborg
Voiced by: Tyler, The Creator
- '90s Anti-Hero: His design is based on the art of Rob Liefeld.
- Portmanteau: His name is one of 'lion' and 'cyborg'.
- Was Once a Man: The result of Grey Diamond combining the remains of his deceased friend Sergeant G (actually Sergeant T, but Grey Diamond didn't know that) with parts from a lion, a cheetah, and a robot suit.
Fwinky Dog
- Blow You Away: He can create a Fwinky-tornado.
- Super Serum: The super-Fwinkies (Twinkies for dogs) that gave him his powers.
Hypno-Monkey Boy and Super Bat Boy (Sam and Max)
- Doomed Hometown: Two of them: Their birth parents' lab, which explodes, sending them into space; and the Unknown Planet they land on, which gets bombed by the enemies of the aliens they came to live with.
- Happily Adopted: First by some aliens, then by Axe Cop and later the Water Queen.
- Kid Hero: Both of them once Axe Cop says it's okay.
- And Now for Someone Completely Different: Similar to The Moon Warriors, "Axe Cop Gets Married" starts out with their backstory, and Axe Cop meets them shortly afterwards.
The Water Queen
Voiced by: Jemima Kirke
- Brainwashed and Crazy: In President of the World, Tu and Bu turn the Water Queen evil with a potion that not even the Good Guy Machine can cure.
- First Girl Wins: The first girl Axe Cop ever had feelings for, so secret even he didn't know about it.
- Happily Married: To Axe Cop.
- I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Was willing to hide her feelings for Axe Cop so he could marry Axe Girl. Thankfully though, things between Axe Cop and Axe Girl didn't work out, and things ended happily.
- Ink-Suit Actor: Based on Ethan's wife.
- Making a Splash: Can produce any amount of water and make it behave like solid objects without freezing it.
- Nice Girl
- Royals Who Actually Do Something: Springs to the aid of children in need, even if it means battling an army the night before her wedding.
- Silk Hiding Steel: Every bit the badass you'd expect of someone marrying Axe Cop, but you wouldn't know it by looking at her.
- Water Is Blue: Her control of blue water is reflected in her aqua hair, bright blue eyes, and always wearing blue dresses and shoes.
Axe Girl
Voiced by: Lake Bell
- Amicable Exes: While the two break off the engagement, she and Axe Cop still remain friends and vow to team up again some day.
- Birds of a Feather: Deconstructed. It turns out she and Axe Cop's similar "All the time" shifts and personalities meant no one would be home to parent Sam and Max.
Super Axe
Voiced by: Jordan Peele
- Costume Copycat: At least in the animated series, where his costume is just Superman's with an "A" wedged into the Chest Insignia and an ax-emblazoned belt buckle. Not so much in the comic books, though he may have taken inspiration from Icon or Captain Marvel.
- Happily Married: To a woman named Tracy in the animated series.
- Master of Disguise: When he wears animal costumes, bad guys think he really is those animals.
- Token Black Friend: As Axe Cop's friend from college, his appearances in the comics are mainly just to kick off Axe Cop's adventures, but he may have been intended to be a more relatable black character than Lobster Man.
Bad Guys
Telescope Gun Cop
Voiced by: Sam Brown (Rug Burn motion comic), Marcus Irvine (Promo Scape motion comic)
- Adapted Out: Doesn't show up in the TV Series aside from a cameo as an action figure, with a lot of his traits adopted or reworked into other characters.
- '80s Hair: Has a mullet.
- Evil Brit: In the old motion comic only. (He's actually Australian.)
- Villain Teleportation: Courtesy of Uni-Baby, he teleported back in time to Make Wrong What Once Went Right, and now we know he also once survived Axe Cop's grenade barrage by teleporting to a forest.
- Who's Laughing Now?: He only became a bad guy after Axe Cop refused to let him on his team, at first because he had to go fight Psydrozon and then because he was already powerful enough to go without him.
King Evilfatsozon
Voiced by: Mike Nassar (motion comic)
- Kryptonite Factor: He can only be killed by a unicorn horn, as he explains to the guy who's standing right next to someone with a unicorn horn.
- In fairness, he didn't actually finish saying "a unicorn horn" before he was killed by Uni-Man being thrown at him, so he was already doomed before starting to say it.
Dr. Stinky Head
Voiced by: Sam Brown
- Arch-Enemy: Seeing as he has connections with Axe Cop and appears in the Dr. McNinja crossover, he's about the closest Axe Cop has.
- Ascended Extra: He initially started out as a gag in "Ask Axe Cop", but ended up the main antagonist of "The Moon Warriors" arc.
- One-Winged Angel: He can turn himself into an alien.
- The Pigpen: Hence the name Dr. Stinky Head, and his childhood identity, Stinko.
Vampire Man Baby Kid
Voiced by: Dee Bradley Baker (FXX show), Ethan Nicolle (motion comic)
- Fashionable Asymmetry: Because he's half vampire baby, half vampire man, and vampire kid in the middle, his appendages are longer on one side.
- Nigh-Invulnerable: His head can't be chopped off by anything short of a golden chainsaw.
- Our Vampires Are Different: He's a "sun vampire" and can apparently survive in the sun.
- Spared by the Adaptation: The animated episode "Night Mission: The Moon" has Flute Cop convince Axe Cop not to kill Vampire Man Baby Kid when he learns that one of the baby's parents was the true bad guy.
Dr. Doo Doo
Voiced by: Peter Serafinowicz
- Ascended Extra: In the comic, he appeared for only a few pages at the very end of the Ultimate Battle arc. In the cartoon, he has a much more prominent role, trading up to Villain of the Week status.
- Brown Note: He can make people poop their pants and give birth to doody soldiers by saying "Poooooop!", similar to the Trope Namer.
- Mad Scientist: Created when a zombie ate the brain of the world's smartest man and then took the world's smartest poop.
Chicken Head
- Breath Weapon: Can shoot lasers out of his mouth.
- Mooks: Chicks that shoot drills.
- Nonindicative Name: He's a huge chicken with a human head.
Iggy and Willy
- Animal Jingoism: They spend their time plotting against dogs.
- Fat Bastard/Husky Russkie: Willy.
- Lean and Mean: Iggy.
- Magitek: They use combinations of both technology and magic, such as setting up ordinary technological booby traps but then hiding them with an invisibility spell.
- Later they build a transformation machine and install the last button using a magic spell.
- My Death Is Just the Beginning
- Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: They're Siberian witch doctor cats.
- Our Presidents Are Different: They were apparently democratically elected to witch doctordom, as Iggy is president and Willy is vice president.
- Polyamory: They have one wife between them.
Axe Cop Presents
Jack and John
- Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: They have an army of zombie vampires with jetpacks, all called Laser Scott.
- Pals with Jesus: They exchange advice and favours with God.
The Secret Agent Brothers
- Author Avatar: Secret Agent I is Isaiah Nicolle, Secret Agent M is Malachai, and Secret Agent Boss is Ethan.
Print-only Characters
Characters that have only appeared in Bad Guy Earth and other print-only comics. Because these are self-contained stories, spoilers will not be marked.
The Psychic Brothers (Psychic Boss and Psychic Helper)
- Anime Hair: Psychic Boss' mohawk.
- Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: They can merge together to form a giant monster...which is named the Best Psychic Pal.
- Author Avatar: Psychic Boss is Malachai, Psychic Helper is Ethan.
- Lean and Mean: Psychic Boss.
- Psychic Powers: Though despite their name, they actually don't use them that much.
The Evil Magician Woman Riding A Gorilla Riding A Lion
Voiced by: Jane Adams
- Hellish Pupils: In the comics, she and all her followers have yellow eyes with rectangular red pupils, though hers are tinted by her green shades.
- Killed Mid-Sentence: Yet her spells succeed anyway.
- Large Ham: In her animated appearance, though it may stem from grief from losing her children by the time we meet her.
- No Name Given: But supplementary material indicates it's "Psychic Wazasha". Her TV episode doesn't give her the chance to perform any magic, so there she's known as merely "The Evil Redheaded Woman."
President Towzerd
Voiced by: Al LeVine (FXX show), Rowell Gormon (Bad Guy Earth preview)
- Our Presidents Are Different: Closest to President Buffoon.
Goo Cop (Frank Wrinkleburd)
- Arm Cannon: Typically changes his hands into triple-barreled goo guns.
- Came Back Strong: When Axe Cop recreates him in gold form.
- Puppeteer Parasite: His method of Mind Manipulation is to fire some of his goo into a person's brain through the face.
- Sour Supporter: Though he fights valiantly on Axe Cop's side, he's not above calling Axe Cop out on delaying the search for his family, or finding it ridiculous that the Martian scientist suddenly has a brother they have to fight.
- Touched by Vorlons: Was the subject of an alien experiment to turn humans into more such aliens, but something went wrong and left him as a Goo Man.
- Voluntary Shapeshifting: Can change shape into useful items like gliders and rocket ships, but can never change back from being goo.
Junior Cobbb
Voiced by: Clancy Brown
- Disposable Superhero Maker: Parodied: Junior got his powers from a discarded machine because he was the only gorilla smart enough to plug it in.
- Finger Firearms: His robotic gloves contain machine guns in the knuckles.
- My Nayme Is: When asked whether "Cobbb" was spelled with one B or two, Malachai Took a Third Option.
- The Power of Creation: His tail has the power to produce jet planes or any other object he imagines.
- Sizeshifter: Can grow as big as he wants, allowing him to shoot larger objects and better reference King Kong.
- Talking Animal
The Evil Scientist from Mars (Dr. Tuwo)
Voiced by: Alfred Molina
- Big Bad: Masterminded the Million-Year War and the creation of Every Man and possesses the power to terminate anyone who defects with the press of a button.
- Do Not Adjust Your Set: A broadcast that covers "all over Earth and space" announces his intentions to gather an army to kill Axe Cop.
- Enraged by Idiocy: The animated version claims he's driven to genocide by all the stupid people in the world causing his brain pain.
- Last Words: Only after Axe Cop deals the killing blow does Dr. Tuwo reveal his name as well as the name of his brother Dr. Playo.
- My Brain Is Big: Visible through a clear dome over his unusual goggles.
- Powered Armor: Contains a number of telescoping weapons, along with rocket boots.
- We'll See About That: Apparently his motive for invading Earth is Axe Cop bragging that Earth is invasion-proof.
Tu and Bu
- Card-Carrying Villains: To a greater extent than most: While meditating, they vow to become "the devilest bad guys."
- Combining Mecha: Along with vehicles like motorcycles and monster trucks, Tu and Bu can form a giant robot Axe Cop (not that it fools anyone).
- Fat and Skinny: In the sense that Bu is the rounder, bulkier one.
- Kill the God: They try to hurl the Space Needle into the heart of God, but Axe Cop deflects it. They do succeed in mutilating Satan enough to take over his minions, though.
- Omnicidal Maniacs: Destroyed whole planets starting with their own and even blew up an entire "good guy universe".
- Rebellious Spirit: Hated everything about their planet and broke all the rules to try to get their own way all the time.
- Robo Family: They're giant robot brothers who rebelled against their parents so they could keep making bombs.
The Aliens
- Alien Abduction: First they kidnap Frank Wrinkleburd and transform him into Goo Man, then they kidnap Goo Man's family in retaliation when he escapes, then they kidnap Junior Cobbb's father, eventually turning them all into goo.
- Hypno Ray: They use mind-control lasers to turn some bakers into murderers just to divert attention from a simple theft.
- Little Green Men
- My Brain Is Big: And exposed through seams in the middle of their heads, though they're not considered very smart.
- No Name Given: The story never gives their names, species, or associations otherwise; they're just two aliens.
- Who's Laughing Now?: Their endgame plans are motivated by the other bad guys kicking them out of the gang for incompetence.
Captain Axe
- Brought to You by the Letter "S": His Chest Insignia is a giant "A", more likely for "Axe" than for "America".
- Fainting: Despite his Big Damn Heroes introduction, he passes out the first time he sees the giant aliens, Robozorkabocks.
- General Ripper: Ironically for this trope name, it is the generals of General Planet that he would not be convinced are no longer his enemies, leading to Captain Axe poisoning Axe Cop on suspicion of being an evil general.
- Leader Wannabe: More than once insists he should lead Axe Cop's team as The Captain.
- Nephewism: An uncle is his only known family. It's possible his parents perished in an interplanetary war.
- Throwing Your Shield Always Works: His "metal Frisbee shield" is another way in which he is an homage to Captain America.
- Transforming Vehicle: His RV can turn into a helicopter, a monster truck jet with gun turrets, and a hot air balloon, and it can turn invisible.
- Wearing a Flag on Your Head: His costume and weapons are covered in blue, white and red stripes, and white stars, which fits his becoming a founding member of the American Choppers.
Animation-Only Characters
Anita
Voiced by: Megan Mullally
- Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: With Flute Cop.
The Chief of the Normal Police
Voiced by: Tyler, The Creator
- Scary Black Man: To the normal cops, anyway. Axe Cop isn't so easily intimidated.
Todd
Voiced by: Todd Barry
- Ink-Suit Actor: One of the most notable instances. He always resembles his voice actor Todd Barry, and one episode names him Todd.
- New Job as the Plot Demands: Has sold Axe Cop everything from a stay at a resort to a dating profile to Tricked-Out Gloves to a giant dinosaur horn, that last one on another planet no less. Has also been both Grey Diamond's favorite mail guy and the one he tried pawning his diamond to!
- Obstructive Bureaucrat: Whether or not he's in the right, Todd seems to exist to try Axe Cop's patience.
Ray
Voiced by: Mike O'Malley

The Warden
Voiced by: Udo Kier
