• Artificial Limb: After Prometheus hacked his right arm off, Cyborg designed him a new one. However, this prosthetic isn't permanent, as Roy's right arm is still infected with the flesh-eating bacteria Prometheus laced his blade with. It's designed to "work around the nerve endings". It also causes him great pain to use it, impairs his ability as an archer drastically, and he can't wear anything over it unless it's his costume. It's also a total eyesore.
• The Casanova
• The Complainer Is Always Wrong: At Lian's funeral, Roy practically strangled Mia and blamed her for Lian's death. The majority of Rise of Arsenal seemed to be everyone coddling Mia Deardren and blaming Roy for Lian's death, even though A. Mia was supposed to be watching Lian and left her alone to fight the Electrocutioner, and B. Star City's destruction was a freak accident.
• Doting Parent: He may have hired nannies from time to time, but he was REALLY good at being a single parent.
• Heroic BSOD: Following his arm being hacked off and Lian getting killed.
• Hot Dad
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold
• Never Live It Down: His heroin abuse, which was only present for one issue and then followed by him going cold turkey. It doesn't help that following Lian's death he's gone back to using it.
• Papa Wolf: To Lian, obviously, one of the most adorable and well-adjusted kids in comic book history. Despite requiring nannies from time to time, he never deprived her of love and attention and the two have had an amazingly adorable and loving relationship. What makes this so amazing is that Roy didn't have to sacrifice his brash personality, and just goes to show that he was a better father than his mentor Green Arrow could have ever hoped to be.
  • Big Brother Mentor: Also showed this to younger teammate Damage. He nominated Grant for membership during Titans to make it up to him for how things went when Roy led the Titans. He acted as a big brother figure to the younger Titan, and thanks to Roy (and Lian), Grant was able to admit his foster father had abused him so badly when he was younger. Roy was willing to help Grant because he remembered what his teenage years were like and how often he was left to his own devices, and wasn't about to do the same.
• Real Men Wear Pink: He's every bit the lady's man his former mentor is, if not more so, and he can be brash and a bit of a jerk. That doesn't stop him from having scenes with his daughter that manage to redefine the word "adorable".
• Wound That Will Not Heal: His right arm is said to be infected with dormant flesh-eating bacteria called "nanomites" which were laced in Prometheus' blade. It's for this reason that he was given a removable prosthetic meant to work "around" his nerve endings.

• Dark and Troubled Past: Beyond the few years he spent trying to figure out just who his actual birth parents were, the readers discovered that his foster father physically and sexually abused him.

• Put on a Bus: In the cases of both Matrix AND Linda. The former merged with a New God named Twilight and focus on Peter David's run on Supergirl shifted solely to the latter. Linda was last seen in hell during the Reign of Hell mini-series, and hasn't been seen since.

• Adorkable
• Ascended Fanboy
• Big Red Devil
• Cute Monster Boy
• Genius Ditz: He did make a power suit when he was twelve.
• Heroic Sacrifice: Titans in this era tended to drop like flies, mostly for simplistic attempts to raise the tension. Eddie was the first one in this era to die with any meaning to it, sacrificing himself to save the city.
• Hero Worshipper: To Blue Devil originally.
• Horned Humanoid
• I Just Want to Have Friends and I Just Want to Be Special: His defining characteristics.

• The Trope Kid
• Super Zero: Was one in his early pre-demonification days, but grew out of it by the time he changed his codename to Red Devil.
• You Are Worth Hell: Played with. Eddie does not ever become trapped in hell for someone, but he is willing to damn his soul for superpowers just so he can be a hero, save lives, and belong to the Teen Titans, whom are very much his family by the end of his time on Earth.

• Dropped a Bridge on Him: Was last seen in Titans getting snatched by Calculator. Some time later, in the pages of Batgirl, Calculator gives an off-hand reference to his death, having been forced to constantly summon the spirit of Calculator's son, Marvin.
• What Happened to the Mouse?: Vanished without a trace from Teen Titans, his own team wouldn't express any interest in his whereabouts or fate until a much later arc.

• The Cutie
• Expy: Many fans thought of as one of the cartoon's Starfire in terms of personality.
• Green-Skinned Space Babe
• My Species Doth Protest Too Much: The only gentle, loving member of the otherwise Always Chaotic Evil White Martian race.
• Red-Headed Hero
• Voluntary Shape Shifting

• Did Not Do the Research: Eric Wallace wrote The Power of Shazam issue for Blackest Night, detailing Amon rising as a Black Lantern, yet somehow in control and managing to not kill anyone. The problem is that, in Blackest Night #3, a video screen in JLA headquarters featured Amon killing people, their torn hearts in their hands. Could be seen as a case of Canon Discontinuity, depending on whether or not Wallace actually read, or paid attention, to the issues of Blackest Night.
• Ignored Epiphany: In a sense. After being revived as a Black Lantern, Amon was somehow in control of his mind and body, and managed to pull a heroic sacrifice stopping Black Lantern Sobek. Then he came back from the dead and helped killed Ryan Choi.
• Moral Event Horizon: Killing the Persuader was an accident. He tried justifying the death of Ryan Choi and everyone else he's killed as trying to bring his sister and Black Adam back. But now he freely admits that he enjoys violence and is just as bad as everyone accused him of being.

• Broken Bird: Kiran mentions that while she was N.O.W.H.E.R.E.'s prisoner she was forced to do horrible things in order to survive.
• Dark Is Not Evil: In the reboot continuity, Kiran's powers have somehow shifted and caused her to look as if she's made up of smoke and charcoal. Fans referred to her as "Charcoal Girl" and assumed she was a completely different character until they found out she was Solstice.

• Asian Babymama: So nice she did it twice: once with Arsenal, and once with Catman.
• Foe Yay: With both Roy Harper, the first Speedy, and Thomas Blake, aka Catman. She once propositioned Catman during a battle, not long after having hired two hit squads after him.
• Mama Bear: And not just to people trying to hurt her kids. She once staged an elaborate plot to ruin and murder Black Canary because Canary had developed into a psuedo-surrogate mother figure for her daughter.
  • Well, at least until their safety proves more of a burden and a liability. At which point she'll go out of her way to conceive a replacement kid, and use that pregnancy as a shield.
  • Evil Matriarch: To be fair, staging an elaborate plot to murder the women whom is her daughter's surrogate mother-figure doesn't necessarily make her a Mama Bear. Cheshire was espousing that she had plans to retire, and getting Black Canary out of the way would've made things less complicated for her.
• You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: In Villains United, she was blackmailed into compliance by threats against Lian's safety. Over the course of the miniseries she successfully seduced Catman and managed to conceive a replacement baby in order to betray and leave the Secret Six with Lian's welfare no longer being an issue (that she cared about). It turned out the threat was false, but she didn't know that.

• The Chess Master
• You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Has a habit of murdering people who he doesn't have a use for, regardless if they're his minions.

• Arch-Enemy: The Titans have gone through tons of Big Bads, and let's face it, Slade isn't the biggest or baddest. But he is the most persistent and most personal enemy the team has ever faced.
• Badass Normal: If anyone in The DCU gives Batman a run for his money, it's Slade Wilson.
• Badass Abnormal: Sort of. Technically he has just above the human limit of physical strength, speed, and agility, and possesess a healing factor, the intensity of which depends on the author of the comic. Nonethless, he's still basically human, especially compared to the usual durability and strength of many DC superhumans. He can be beaten by a sufficiently trained normal human (frequently Nightwing in the early stories he appears), and he's weaker then even the least strong DC hero with superhuman strength, with his primary weapon being his brillaint strategic mind.
• Breakout Character: Slade had his own ongoing series in The Dark Age of Comic Books, and is currently headlining the Titans book.
• Combat Pragmatist
• Eyepatch of Power
• Depending on the Writer: Does he care for his children or are they his pawns? Is he really evil or just in it for the money? It all depends on who is writing him.

• Go-Go Enslavement: Dresses up all the teens he captures in suits right out of TRON.

And no one notices how bad this plan is.
