---

• Badass Normal: Angel is a superior hand to hand combatant, with extensive knowledge of karate, Kung Fu, and military trained MMA. She has also been developing her own martial art form in her spare time, based on Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do and the combat style of the Gorilla City warriors, she hasn't settled on a name yet but calls it "Angel Fu" and "Angel Ape Do".
• Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: Her shirt is short enough to show her navel. In contrast Sam wears a full suit.
• Beast and Beauty: The beauty to her partner Sam's beast.
• Determinator: Angel is not used to failure as a result, she often likes to "wing it" when going in a confrontation. While this usually works out for her, it has been known to bit her in the backside.
• The Fashionista: Angel has quite the addiction to fashion. She spends most of her pay on dresses, tops, swimsuits, shoes, jackets, and other accessories. The funny thing is that she usually doesn't get around to ever wearing most of it as she refuses to wear them while working as most of it tends to be completely impractical for her line of work.
• Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: She's more mature and focused than her spacey younger sister.
• Good Cop/Bad Cop: Often plays the good cop to Sam's bad cop, as she's a trained intelligence officer and nowhere near as intimidating as Sam.
• Little Big Sister: She might be quite tall herself, but she's shorter than her younger sister Athena.
• Military Brat: The Trevors are a proud military family, Angel herself joined becoming an agent for Checkmate.
• Omniglot: Angel is very intelligent and well-educated. Angel is fluent in no less than a dozen foreign languages in addition to English: Mandarin and Cantonese Chinese, Japanese, Dutch Afrikaans, Swahili, Ancient and Modern Greek, Latin, Spanish, German, Russian, and Atlantean.
• Platonic Life-Partners: With Sam, the two being longtime friends and partners in their Private Investigation business, "Angel & Ape" and is quite comfortable with sharing an apartment with him. Although some dialogue implied there some Unresolved Sexual Tension between them.
• Private Detective: After quitting her government job she started working as a Private Investigator along with Sam Simeon, opening up an Agency called "Angel & Ape". They tackle everything from murders, blackmail, extramarital affairs, kidnapping, and private security jobs.
• Proud Beauty: She's easy on the eyes and is quite aware of it.
• Related Differently in the Adaptation: Instead of half-sister, Angel and Athena are full sisters here.

• Statuesque Stunner: She's beautiful and measures 5'10/178cm tall.
• The Tease: She enjoys flirting with men.
• Weirdness Magnet: Angel has decided to embrace the absurdity of her life and seems quite comfortable with sharing an apartment and office with a quarter ton gorilla, having a super-strong sister, and a cousin who is married to Wonder Woman.

Sam Simeon

The son of Gorilla Grodd originally named Drogg, he's also partners with Angel O'Day ands runs a detective agency with her as Angel & Ape.

---

• Alliterative Name: Sam Simeon.
• Beast and Beauty: The beast to his partner Angel's beauty.
• Brainwashed and Crazy: When Sam tried to use his mental possession on the Joker, the clown's insanity caused Sam's powers to backfire and the Joker's madness infected Sam's mind. This caused Sam to become one of Joker's henchmen for a period of ten days. During that time, Joker fashioned a ridiculous outfit for Sam and referred to him as 'Jackanapes'. Sam was eventually able to dispel the madness from his mind when he witnessed Joker spray Angel with Joker Venom when she came to rescue Sam; but this event has left Sam with a mild phobia of the Joker... and even of Gotham in general.
• Composite Character: Sam is a composite character with Sam Simeon and Jacknapes, a Gorilla the Joker raise for crime since it was a baby.
• Friendly Rivalry: Sam and Kyle Rayner are artistic rivals but there's no animosity between them.
• Gentle Gorilla: He's a huge gorilla and a pretty friendly guy, which contrasts with his evil father Grodd.
• Good Cop/Bad Cop: Is the bad cop to Angel's good cop, due to his grump demeanor and bestial appearance.
• Hidden Depths: Sam is an avid reader. While he prefers comic books by far, he also enjoys reading the classics.
• In-Universe Nickname: Sam uses the pseudonym "Prime Ape" as his comic industry moniker, not wanting clients to take Angel less seriously if they find out her partner draws 'cartoons'.
• Killer Gorilla: Subverted. He maybe an intelligent gorilla, but he's a detective and a good person.
• Limited Wardrobe:
  • Sam's sheer size often poses a problem for him while navigating environments made for humans. For instance, he can't use a normal computer as his fingers are just too big and he has to have all his clothing tailor-made (hence his preference for suits).
  • Sam gives Angel three-quarters of his closet at their apartment to use for storing her fashion supplies. Sam only needs enough room for his five business suits, five large t-shirts, and a few pairs of 6XL gym shorts.
• Master of Illusion: Sam is able to make himself appear like a human so long as not too many people in the crowd are actually focusing on him. Sam can also make people overlook his and Angel's presence, so long as they're not actively looking for them.
• Meaningful Name: Sam took his first name from 'Sam Beckett', the protagonist of the late 80's/early 90's sci-fi series Quantum Leap. The choice of name not only shows Sam's interest in geek culture, but has a psychological element to as it reveals Sam's interest in being able to leave his own body and leap into another, presumably that of a human.
• Mind over Manners: Sam can give one word commands to those who are not strong-willed or who are not actively resisting. Commands often used by Sam include sleep, calm, run, quiet, stay, and speak.
• Morality Chain: As alluded to above, Sam cares deeply for Angel and if she is put in danger or threatened, Sam cannot think rationally. Of course, this is somewhat mitigated by the fact that Sam realizes just how capable of a human Angel is and she is able to take care of herself more often than not; but should a being pose a significant threat to Angel's well-being, whether physical, mental, or emotional, Sam can be easily coerced to do most anything to prevent such harm.
• Omniglot: Using his telepathy, Sam is a master of practically any language he needs to use. However, he is fluent in English and Latin, in addition to his native tongue of Gorillese (which is based off of the languages of Zambesi and Korikaan).
• Platonic Life-Partners: Sam is this with Angel, with both sharing an apartment and office together. Although some dialogue implied there some Unresolved Sexual Tension between them.
• Private Detective: When he's not inking the pages of Deus Ex Machina Man, Sam is backing up Angel in her Private Investigation business "Angel & Ape".
• Psychic Powers: Sam is an exceptional psionic inherited by his biological father Gorilla Grodd. While he has just as much potential as his father, Sam's abilities are still developing and have not been augmented by Cadmus influence and as such, he is much weaker than his father in this regard.
• Related Differently in the Adaptation: Instead of his grandson like in the comics, Sam is Grodd's son on Earth-27.
• Scare the Dog: Animals will often ignore Sam's presence, even if the presence of a giant gorilla would normally cause an animal to flee in terror. This ability only works so long as Sam has no aggressive intent toward the animal.
• Trademark Favourite Food: Sam claims his favorite food is fish tacos. He also enjoys just about anything made by street vendors and seems like he is never happier than when he gets to sample a culinary experience for the first time.
• You Won't Like Me When I'm Angry: When injured or sufficiently enraged, Sam's primal urges override his intelligent mind, causing him to become incredibly aggressive. He has been known to attack allies during such instances as he has a hard time distinguishing human faces and voices when so consumed. Angel O'Day has shown that she is the exception to this rule, but usually when Sam is so triggered, it's because Angel was put out of commission or is in danger.

Dead Boy Detectives

Edwin Paine

• Dead to Begin With: Edwin's a drowned victim at the age of 16 in the 1900's. He and Charles use their ghostly powers to help others along the way and became the Dead Boy Detectives.
• Elemental Powers: Edwin has shown to have the ability to manipulate elements like wind, fire, electricity, water, and temperature. As a drowning victim, Edwin has a special connection to water and is more easily able to cause it to act unusually (such as causing pipes to burst or causing people in water to be unable to swim or climb out of the water).
• Ghostly Chill: Edwin's presence lowers the surrounding temperature of his environment by a couple degrees. Psychically sensitive people might sense a powerful shiver or see a single breath fog up when Edwin first enters a room.
• Invisible to Normals: Though naturally invisible to those without special sight, Edwin can also choose to go invisible to the supernatural as well, causing himself to disappear from sight to all but the most powerful supernatural beings with "death sight" such as reapers, gods of death, or other ghosts.
• Jacob Marley Apparel: Edwin's wearing his Brentwood Academy uniform despite his death.
• Making a Splash: Edwin can manipulate or even create ghostly water from nowhere, such as causing walls to leak water or statues to cry. He can also more easily manifest if touching a source of water. This is tied to his cause of death.
• Our Ghosts Are Different
• Telekinesis: Edwin is able to move virtually anything with his mind if he has enough concentration on the object. Edwin's telekinesis is powerful enough to shove a grown man a few feet back.
• Teleportation: Edwin can teleport within eyesight with ease, usually appearing to flicker at random intervals in a jagged pattern until he reaches his destination. Edwin can also teleport to realms in the Void or across great distances to places where he has performed a spell learned from his book.
• Weaksauce Weakness: As a ghost he has a weakness to different methods:
  • Salt: Ghosts can be repelled by salt and can't cross a line made of salt. Some hunters use rock shot rounds to dissipate ghosts by blasting them with it. Salt is also useful whenever a ghost is possessing a human. Feeding salt in the mouth of the person a ghost is possessing, will cause the ghost great pain and force the ghost out and free the human from the ghost's control. Shooting the person with rock salt will also break a ghost's possession.
  • Iron: Like salt, iron keeps spirits at bay. In a lot of ways, an iron weapon is a good fundamental choice when dealing with any ethereal being. It can use an iron crowbar or fire poker in a pinch. Contact with it will dissipate a ghost for a couple of minutes.
  • Hoodoo: Hoodoo can be used to stop ghosts, and keep them under control, however, this is not a solution and is merely a preventive measure. As such it will stop working eventually.

Charles Rowland

A boy who is killed at a boarding school. He now forms half of the dead boy detectives alongside Edwin Paine.

---

• Adaptation Origin Connection: Instead of being killed by three ghosts, he was killed by the new Terrible Trio.
• Fire/Water Juxtaposition: He's the fire to Edwin's water, having died due to gunfire while Edwin drowned.
• Intergenerational Friendship: Sure, they might technically be the same age now, but he and Edwin are separated by 100 years. As such their world views are occasionally different.
• Our Ghosts Are Different: Unlike Edwin, he's still attached to the general area where he died.
• Playing with Fire: Unlike Edwin, he has power over fire, because he was a gunshot victim.

Other Heroes

Vigilante (Adrian Chase)

^{Click for Civilian Look} 

The infamous Vigilante of the Narrows is assumed by DA Adrian Chase as a means to fight crime outside of his official jurisdictions. He used non lethal methods at first, but his mental health deteriorated and he became a killer.

---

• Accidental Pervert: When he drops in on his Kate's apartment to give her a ledger implicating Carmine Falcone, he finds her just as she's stepping out of the shower and discarding her Modesty Towel.
• Adaptational Sexuality: His other incarnations were heterosexual while here he's homosexual.
• Anti-Hero: The Vigilante remains an ominous figure in the Narrows. His mysterious aura is helped by the fact that unlike many of the costumed crimefighters in Gotham, the Vigilante does not seem to go on patrols (or hunts) daily or even weekly. This unpredictability seems to have the effect of making the street gangs even more wary of the Vigilante, wondering if he is out there, in the darkness, lurking in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to pounce. The Vigilante does not seem willing to engage with other costume crimefighters in violence, even if they are attempting to capture him for his lethal tactics, he seems unwilling to kill or even seriously injure crimefighters.
• Badass in a Nice Suit: In his civilian identity, he is usually seen wearing a suit.
• Composite Character: His physical appearance is modeled after the Arrowverse version of Adrian Chase, while his outfit is that of the show's version of Vigilante. In the Arrowverse, Chase and Vigilante were not the same person.
• Cool Helmet: It's face-concealing and V-shaped.
• Dual Wielding: He wields two machine guns.
• Genius Bruiser: He's a very capable fighter and has quite a mind for psychological warfare and long-term planning.
• Not Distracted by the Sexy: When he finds Kate naked in her apartment, he asks her to Please Put Some Clothes On. When she still doesn't bother covering up, he tells her nudity will not distract him as she isn't his type (given he's gay).
• Red Baron: The Vigilante of Gotham or The Vigilante of The Narrows.
• Secret-Keeper: He knows about Kate's job as a Manhunter, and has provided alibis for her. On the other hand, she's not aware of his secret identity.
• Secret Identity Vocal Shift: He speaks in a low, rough, sneering voice. It's just a disguise for his true voice, which sounds pretty ordinary.
• Serial-Killer Killer: He's a dangerous vigilante who goes about hunting criminals, which ranges from murderers and pedophiles, but also to lesser crimes like corrupt politicians.
• Stealth Hi/Bye: Can do these much like Green Arrow and Batman can, though Vigilante is usually accompanied by flickering lights.
• Two First Names: Per the DC Comics norm, Adrian and Chase can both be used as first names.
• Vigilante Man: Well, duh. He's a costumed individual operating outside the law who kills criminals he apprehends.
• Walking Armory: He has carried a large assortment of guns, from machine guns to automatic handguns, bazookas, and sniper rifles.

Ambush Bug (Irwin Schwab)

^{Click for Civilian Look} 

^{Click for Ambush Bug Who Doesn't Laugh} 

• Affectionate Parody: His Ambush Bug Who Doesn't Laugh look parodies the edginess of the Batman Who Laughs.
• Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: He has ADHD and unsurprisingly gets easily distracted.
• Beware the Silly Ones: So you think the weak idiot in the bright green suit can't do squat, do ya? Lemme tell you this - combine Motor Mouth with Teleport Spam, Confusion Fu and the occasional dash of genre savviness and you got a damn powerful enemy on your hands, buster.

• Epic Fail: He interned himself at Arkham to determine if he was crazy, and unsurprisingly failed every test, including a blood test.
• The Friend Nobody Likes: His wall-breaking, Motor Mouth and general obnoxiousness means most heroes besides the Inferior Five don't want anything to do with him.

• Honorary True Companion: Of the Doom Patrol. He's not an official member, merely a reserve, but hangs out with them very often.

  • During the three weeks he was interned at Arkham just happened to have been when the Joker was undergoing experimental hypnotic treatment that had promising results, which this pest had to interfere with by teleporting into Joker's cell one night. What Bug did exactly, we'll never know, but Joker was recorded as having been discovered crying the next morning.

• Teleportation: Ambush Bug's original actual superpower is teleporting almost anywhere he wants.

• Unusually Uninteresting Sight: He's always wearing his suit, and one time when he helped Angie and Ellie to move into their new apartment, Angie thought he was just an eccentric moving guy. She only realized it was weird when Greg Saunders arrived and pointed it out.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: He's "frenemies" with the other Fourth Wall breaker Bat-Mite. They still hang out despite snarking at each other.

Maravilla (Menodora/Maria Mendoza)

^{Click for Civilian Look} 

• Adaptation Name Change: As Diana was already running around, this version of Maria couldn't use the name Wonder Woman, thus this version is called "Maravilla". In addition, "Maria Mendoza" is now an alias and not her birth name.
• Adaptation Species Change: She goes from a human who gained magical powers to a demigoddess.
• Age Lift: She was a contemporary character in her source material, but here is from ancient times.

• Dark and Troubled Past: She suffered a lot in the hands of the local Roman governor after her mother refused to aid him. He had her mother executed and ordered both Menodora and her sisters to be bound in chains. When Menodora spit on his face he had her stripped, beaten and caged, being left to rot in the hot sun for days. When that did not break her, he did the same to her sisters, with both of them ending up dying agonizing deaths.

• Everyone Is Related: Since her father Apollo is the half-brother of Diana and Cassie Sandsmark, that makes her their niece, and very much related to the complex Greek Pantheon.
• Exposed to the Elements: In her backstory, she was stripped and caged, being left to die under the hot sun. But Apollo blessed her and made her resistant to the heat.
• Genius Bruiser: Menodora has an awareness of the supernatural. She also possesses great wisdom and intelligence. She also has an instinctive ability to understand, read, write, and speak many Earthly languages which have Latin roots.
• Gratuitous Spanish: Maravilla means "Wonder" in Spanish.
• Healing Hands: When exposed to direct sunlight, Menodora can use her own essence stores to return others to optimal health, curing wounds caused by violence, broken bones, low vitality, and diseased/poisoning. This is a magic effect and it can take an instant for minor healing or days for curing the most complicated injuries or diseases. She cannot cure death.
• Hereditary Homosexuality: She's a lesbian and so is her daughter Scandal Savage.
• In Name Only: She has the appearance and some connections to the powers Maria Mendoza of Just Imagine but an extremely different backstory.
• Made of Indestructium: Worn as a religious token, Maravilla's dual bracers can be used in conjunction with her heightened reflexes to easily deflect attacks on her person. When struck together, these gauntlets cause the area to be consumed in a bright, holy light.

• Power Glows: A strand of hair glows while in Maravilla mode, representing her connection to the god Apollo.
• The Power of the Sun: By birthright as the daughter of the God of the Sun, Menodora has an innate ability to cast certain spells and rituals that involve light, heat, or Earth's sun.
• Offing the Offspring: She tearfully strangled her deranged son who's beyond saving Sapa Inca a.k.a. Manco Cápac as he was sentenced to death for using blood magic and dark rituals to pass his own soul from son to son, gaining a flawed immortality and Menodora had a duty to end the cycle. After he collapsed, Menodora cradled the body and wept.
• Race Lift: Here, her mother was from what is now southern France during the rule of the Roman Empire. In her source material, she was Peruvian, and suggested to be descended from Peru's indigenous peoples who followed Manco Capac.
• Really 700 Years Old: A demigoddess that was born in the year of 290 BC.
• Related in the Adaptation: She's the mother of Scandal Savage, being an old lover of Vandal Savage back when he was know as Francisco Pizarro in the 16th century. She also the mother of Sapa Inca, aka Manco Capac.
• Shameless Fanservice Girl: When the Themysciran Embassy first opened, Maria caused quite the stir with Gateway City's more conservative population as she enjoys daily sunbathing in the nude on the roof of the embassy as part of her worship rituals to Apollo. The gawkers don't bother her, though, and she had not let the controversy deter her at all.
• Statuesque Stunner: She's 5'11"/180cm tall, and like most amazons quite beautiful.

Hellbat (Wayne Williams)

^{Click for Civilian Look}

Bat-Mite (Ecurb Enyaw)

• Alliterative Name: Ecurb Enyaw.
• Ascended Fanboy: He's a massive Batman fan and delights in having adventures with him.

• Great Gazoo: Bat-Mite is to Batman as Mxy is to Superman... except he's a gigantic fanboy who honestly wants to help instead of cause trouble. Naturally, Batman finds this even more annoying than if Bat-Mite were just out to get him. (Also, Bat-Mite does sometimes knowingly make things harder for Batman, just to see how his hero is going to get out of the situation.)
• Humanoid Abomination: He looks like a small child, but he's actually an entity from the Fifth Dimension, capable of bending reality to his whim.
• Loony Fan: He's a caricature of every single Batman fan in existence.
• Reality Warper: Bat-Mite has shown the ability to animate inanimate objects, shrink or enlarge both people and objects, levitate same, endow either people or animals with super-powers and grant superpowers at will, making reality his for the bending.
• Sdrawkcab Name: His name "Ecurb Enyaw" is a horizontally flipped version of "Bruce Wayne" spelled backwards.
• Sidekick Creature Nuisance: Bat-Mite is this as he's an eyesore to Batman and The rest of Bat Family. He also happens to be the size of a child.
• The Unpronounceable: Bat-Mite's real name, if it weren't for the fact that we're given a good pronunciation for his name (and, as a result, a good way to tell how to pronounce any name that's all consonants).
• Vitriolic Best Buds: With fellow Wall breaker Ambush Bug. They still hang out despite snarking at each other.

Philly the Imp Wonder

• Alternate Self: Philly is the Tim Drake of the fifth dimension, down to having an exact DNA match.

• Composite Character: Of Larry the Imp from the Teen Titans series and co-author Phil Cho.

• Hero-Worshipper: He's a Loony Fan of Tim Drake.
• Humanoid Abomination: Like his fellow Fifth dimension brethren, he looks like a small child, but he's actually an entity from the Fifth Dimension, capable of bending reality to his whim.
• Reality Warper: Philly like Fifth dimension brethren, can also has the ability to animate inanimate objects, shrink or enlarge both people and objects, levitate same, endow either people or animals with super-powers and grant superpowers at will, making reality his for the bending.
• Sdrawkcab Name: His full name "Ekard Noskcaj Yhtomit" is a horizontally flipped version of "Timothy Jackson Drake" spelled backwards.

Red X

A mysterious thief who stole the suit and identity that Tim Drake had previously used to get close as undercover agent to the League of Assassins. His motives are unknown, but are more often self-serving than altruistic.

---

• Above Good and Evil: He says that he doesn't want to be a super villain or threaten a city, but he also doesn't want to use his gadgets for good either. That said, his interests fall more in line with the good side of the spectrum than evil.
• Anti-Hero: Wendy Harris mentions he's not that bad once you get to know him; he doesn't kill, occasionally steals Xenothium from other criminals, and according to Stargirl he once risked personal injury for her.
• Awesome, but Impractical: The suit is quite powerful, but requires the incredibly rare and dangerous compound called Xenothium created by Cadmus Labs, which forces him to rob it frequently to keep the suit going.
• Badass Normal: Like Tim Drake, his abilities are martial arts and his suit (that he stole from Tim). When he fights the various meta humans and aliens, it's clear he has the advantage.
• Decomposite Character: He's a de-composite of the now non-canon Arkham X, being mostly based in appearance and personality from the Teen Titans animated series.
• The Faceless: Like in the original animated series, his true name and face are unknown.
• Gentleman Thief: Red X doesn't go after innocent people or put them in harm's way. He also seems to care about whether or not a city full of people is going to be disintegrated because of a psychotic villain, as well as whether or not Robin is going to fall to his death.
• Has a Type: Seems to go easier on blondes, like Spoiler, Tigress and Wonder Girl.
• Heroic Neutral: While he will rob banks and businesses, he will repay his debts, and when a city was threatened with disintegration due to a villain's scheme, he helped with stopping it.
• I Shall Taunt You: Loves to taunt and annoy his opponents.
• It's All About Me: Cares for little else than himself and admits as much, although him forming an Enemy Mine with Red Robin implies he cares for more than he lets on.
• Noble Demon: He makes himself out to be a petty thief that cares for nothing but himself, but in both appearances he's helped the Titans, Birds of Prey, Outsiders and The Team, even when it wasn't in his self-interest to do so.
• Related in the Adaptation: He's apparently the cousin of Kevin, Roxy Ballantine's deceased boyfriend.
• The Rival: Sees himself as the Arch-rival of Robin.
• Wild Card: The only side he fights for is his own. He could help the villain, could help the hero, or could screw both of them over if it benefits him.

Jericho (Joseph "Joey" Wilson)

^{Click for Civilian Look} 

The youngest son of Slade Wilson and Adeline Kane and younger brother Grant Wilson. Joey Wilson is able to control people's bodies through eye contact. For majority of his life him and his brother were part H.I.V.E. Academy, he would been rendered mute when Damien Dahrk cut his throat after H.I.V.E. used him for leverage but it backfired when he died. Unknown to Slade and Grant he didn't die but instead end up becoming a wandering ghost after his body was in a coma following after later being experimented by Talia al Ghul and El Penitente in order to use him to make Slade agree to place Joey in cryogenic stasis.

Joey's would be rescued by Cassandra Cain and was taken in by his uncle Jacob Kane but kept in a medically induced coma while recovering from the cryogenic and all the trauma the League's experiments had inflicted upon him. But after over two decades in a sleepless state in which his psychic power was pushed to its absolute limits, Joey had lost all sense of his identity. In all that time, only one person had given him a name he identified with. That name was Heretic.

---

• Astral Projection: Joey can separate his "soul-self" from his physical body to explore the astral plane or enter into psychic realms, such as the Dreaming.
• Badass Family: Although his father Slade is a manipulative son of a bitch, his older brother Grant and his half-sister Rose received training, becoming professional assassins like their father and his mother is no slouch either, and his cousins from his mother's side Bruce Wayne, Kate Kane and Bette Kane are bonafide Badass Normals crimefighters.
• Body Surf: Through eye contact, Joey is able to enter another's body and control their motor functions. If Joey has possessed the person previously, he may be able to re-establish the link without eye contact. In the case of persons with a deep personal connection to Joey, neither eye contact or physical proximity may be required. While in possession of a person, Joey can use his own skills (but not most of his powers) or the skills of the host. Joey can even comb through the memories of his host but needs to know a little about whatever he is searching for. If possessing a metahuman, Joey has been able to use their powers.
• Empowered Badass Normal: Though Joey (when in his right state of mind) prefers solving things through nonviolent means, he is an above-average fighter, having been trained by his brother and also via his psychic connection with his father.
• Fights Like a Normal: Jericho prefers solving things through nonviolent means, but he is an above average fighter, having been trained by his mother, Adeline Kane.
• Hand Signals: These are a necessity, due to the mute factor. In preparation for his awakening and knowing his vocal cords were severed, Joey learned sign language.
• Multi-Melee Master: He's skilled in the use of multiple weapons types. His reflexes are honed enough that he was able to use a bo staff to block projectiles such as shuriken, kunai, and arrows.
• Older Than They Look: He's almost forty, but because of his father's genes and being in stasis for almost two decades, he still looks in his teens.
• Power Incontinence: Jericho's powers are powerful but he has not yet learned to control them fully due to a lack of being connected to his body and allowed chances to practice them in an alert state.
• Psychic Powers: Due to his father's metahuman gene, Jericho possesses a metahuman gene, which enables him to access his brain functions on a cellular level, granting him psychic-based abilities.
• Related in the Adaptation: He's the cousin of the Grigori Ava Wilson, and he's cousin once removed of Carter Wilson/Terminal of the Laugh Pack.
• Synthetic Voice Actor: Joey has sensors installed in his throat and mouth which detect movements in his throat and placement of his tongue to send information to a small handheld computer usually mounted on his belt. When working properly, these devices allow Joey to overcome his inability to speak.
