Other Villains

    Parasite (Rudolph "Rudy" Jones) 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/parasite_earth_27.jpg

Once a janitor at S.T.A.R. Labs, exposure to radiation gave him the ability to absorb power upon touch. His absorption abilities have been evolving over time.


  • Achilles' Heel: He gains the weaknesses of those whose powers he copies, usually with greater effect than the originals.
  • Bald of Evil: Lost all of his hair upon gaining his powers.
  • Energy Absorption: This is how he copies abilities. Otherwise he wouldn't be known as a parasite.
  • From Nobody to Nightmare: Janitor to deadly, sadistic supervillain.
  • Horror Hunger: His hunger leads him to desperation and starvation.
  • Logical Weakness:
    • Taking Superman's powers means he also gains his weaknesses, creating one of the few times kryptonite is actually helpful to Superman.
    • It's not just Superman's weakness. For example, if he absorbs Martian Manhunter's power, he'll gain his weakness to fire as well.
  • Power Copying: Can copy abilities by touching someone, although he also copies their weaknesses.
  • Power Parasite: Absorbs the powers of anyone he touches.
  • Related in the Adaptation: He's the uncle of Don Jones, who would become the mutant warthog Bebop.
  • Secondary Color Nemesis: His skin is purple and his energy absorption is colored green.

    A.M.A.Z.O. 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/amazo_earth_27.jpg

Created by Professor Ivo with revolutionary high-tech Technology. This android can replicate the powers of any metahuman he encounters.


  • Awesomeness by Analysis: Amazo has the ability to copy one's powers, natural abilities, equipment, and DNA signature simply by looking at them.
  • Calling Your Attacks: He has to say the name of whatever Justice League member whose powers it has copied before it can use them.
  • Composite Character: His appearance is based on his Young Justice incarnation.
  • The Dragon: To Professor Ivo.
  • Implacable Man: He's really hard to stop, and he never slows down until he completes his objective.
  • Power Copying: Can copy the powers of any superhuman being in his vicinity, and can copy multiple powers at once.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: It has glowing red eyes. Robot and all that.

    Metallo (John Corben) 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/metallo__earth_27__commission_by_phil_cho_dcxwkws_pre.jpg
Click for his Human Brain 

He is an invulnerable cyborg with superhuman strength who uses his Kryptonite power source against Superman, therefore, making him a dangerous foe.


  • Attack Its Weak Point: Disabling his Kryptonite core is usually the only way to stop him.
  • Brain in a Jar: His Arkham Asylum mugshot shows his living human brain in a container.
  • Chest Blaster: His most consistent weapon is his ability to project rays from his Green Kryptonite heart.
  • Full-Conversion Cyborg: All that's left of his original body is his brain, encased in a metallic exoskeleton powered by Kryptonite.
  • Healing Factor: His robotic bodies sometimes include a self-repair function that causes him to stitch himself back together.
  • Heart Light: His heart always glows green from the Kryptonite.
  • Hollywood Cyborg: A living brain powered by a Kryptonite heart, encased in a steel body, and in turn encased in vat-grown flesh? It doesn't get much more Hollywood than that.
  • Implacable Man: Is sometimes played this way, with his nigh-indestructible body, and ability to weaken Superman making him virtually impossible to stop. He'll just keep on advancing, no matter what Superman (or anybody else) throws at him.
  • Man of Kryptonite: Metallo's Green K heart does bad things to Kryptonians, and he's often able to project its energies in the form of Eye Beams and other weapons.
  • Nigh-Invulnerability: His robotic body makes him difficult to kill.
  • Secondary Color Nemesis: His armor has green highlights due to Green Kryptonite.
  • Skull for a Head: His mechanical head always resembles a skull.
  • We Can Rebuild Him: Who rebuilt him and why varies, but this is always the source of Metallo's augmentation.

    Mr. Mxyzptlk 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mxyzptlk_earth_27.jpg

Mr. Mxyzptlk is a fifth-dimensional imp with the power to do almost anything he can imagine.


  • Alien Geometries: His power is derived from the fact that he's five-dimensional compared to mere three-dimensional beings.
  • Badass Fingersnap: He sometimes uses finger-snaps to initiate his reality distortion.
  • Beware the Silly Ones: 99% of the time, Mr. Mxyzptlk just wants to use his awesome Reality Warper powers to play harmless practical jokes and be a funny pest. He's a cartoonish man-child through and through, but his power is unbelievable and he could wipe out all of reality with a fart or a sneeze if he felt like it.
  • Breaking the Fourth Wall: Mxyzptlk is also able to do this. As his portrait shows fingersnapping the DC Comics logo from 2016, the E27 Logo and artist Phil Cho's autograph signature.
  • Court Jester: Was a court jester in his home dimension.
  • Dimensional Traveler: One of the many inhabitants of the Fifth Dimension.
  • Great Gazoo: An imp from the fifth dimension.
  • Huge Girl, Tiny Guy: He's an imp that's not even three feet tall, while Ms. Gsptlsnz is of average height.
  • Official Couple: Engaged to Ms. Gsptlsnz.
  • Pint-Sized Powerhouse: He's an imp even smaller than Bat-Mite, yet he possesses unfathomable power in the Third Dimension.
  • Pointy Ears: Comes with being an imp of sorts.
  • Reality Warper: Mxyzptlk possesses an unlimited ability to warp reality within the third dimension in any way he can imagine. His powers have been described alternatively as the product of fifth-dimensional magic or advanced technology from the fifth dimension that appears to be magical to third-dimensional beings. Attendant with his abilities is the fact that Mxyzptlk himself is not limited by physical laws: he needs no sustenance such as air or water, can exist in any environment (whether the bottom of the sea or in outer space) and is not vulnerable to any kind of real physical harm.
  • Secondary Color Nemesis: Dresses in purple and orange.
  • Story-Breaker Power: Easily the most powerful member of Superman's Rogue's Gallery, with the only reason he doesn't defeat Superman outright is because he willingly restrains himself.
  • Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: He's an imp while his betrothed is very human-looking and quite hot.
  • The Unpronounceable: Oh, that array of consonants makes discussion/spelling hard. It usually goes from "Mix-pih-tulk" to Mix-yez-pitl-ick". Backwards, it's easier to say ("Kel-tip-zex-im.").
  • Weaksauce Weakness: His only apparent vulnerability is that whenever he speaks his name backwards, he is shunted back to the fifth dimension, and all effects of his "magic" vanish, making everything as it was before he appeared. This is a temporary deterrent: after ninety days, he can again visit the third dimension at will.

    Tobias Whale 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tobias_whale_earth_27.jpg

The leader of the 100, Tobias Whale and his minions have fought the Outsiders. He is the archenemy of Black Lightning.


  • Arch-Enemy: By far the most well known enemy of Jefferson Pierce and certainly the most personal.
  • Badass in a Nice Suit: His white suit.
  • Badass Normal: Whale has no superpowers, but his bulk and brilliant criminal intellect still make him Black Lightning's worst enemy and a force to be reckoned within the Metropolis underworld.
  • Bald Head of Toughness: Completely bald and he's incredibly tough, capable of withstanding physical blows and bolts of electricity like they're nothing.
  • Bald of Evil: Completely bald and a major threat towards Black Lightning and his family.
  • The Don: Of the Metropolis branch of The 100, one of DC's largest criminal gangs.
  • Fat Bastard: Whale is built like the proverbial brick outhouse, tipping the scales at a morbidly obese four hundred pounds.
  • Good Scars, Evil Scars: Has one across his right eye.
  • Man of Wealth and Taste: Whale always dresses expensively, in the best clothes his drug money can buy.
  • No-Sell: His thick skin and blubber makes him resilient to electrical attacks, which barely faze him.
  • Red Baron: "The Great White Whale".
  • Stout Strength: Four hundred pounds. Immensely strong.
  • Unskilled, but Strong: Whale lacks Jefferson's athletic training, but at four hundred pounds and six foot five he doesn't really need it.
  • Villain in a White Suit: Has a nice white suit to show he's the leader of the 100.
  • Villainous Gold Tooth: His mouth is full of them.
  • Would Hurt a Child: He clearly has no compunction trying to kill Jennifer Pierce for interfering with his plans.

    Veronica Cale 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/veronica_cale_earth_27.jpg

Self-made millionaire and former member of S.T.A.R. Labs, Veronica Cale resents the adulation that follows Wonder Woman everywhere and believes that as a woman who fought for everything she's acquired, she deserves it far more than a Amazon born with divine abilities.


  • Ambition Is Evil: Cale ambitions and desire to be the ultimate female role model are at the core of her villainy.
  • Anti-Villain: She tends to help out the heroes occasionally.
  • Corrupt Corporate Executive: Heads up a major company and uses her money to flagrantly violate the law.
  • Driven by Envy: Much as Luthor wants to be Superman, so too does Cale want to be Wonder Woman, claiming that if a Wonder Woman exists, it has to be her, and not Diana.
  • Evil Genius: She certainly fancies herself one. In reality while Cale is very smart, she's not really cut out for supervillainy.
  • Freudian Excuse: Grew up as poor white trash, with a stripper mom and a deadbeat father. She clawed her way to success, while building a massive Inferiority Superiority Complex along the way.
  • It's All About Me: Veronica is willing to try killing one of the world's greatest superheroes, endangering thousands in the process, just to make sure that the media talk about her when they think of powerful women.
  • Manipulative Bastard: Very good at manipulating employees and the press. When it comes to supervillains, her record gets a lot weaker.
  • Omnidisciplinary Scientist: Notably averted. She's a brilliant scientist and businesswoman, but she lacks the ingenuity and natural ability to create complex devices like Mad Scientist types such as Lex Luthor and has to rely on buying or manipulating others to do the work for her.
  • Rags to Riches: From the daughter of a prostitute to one of the richest women in the world.
  • The Resenter: Believes herself to be a far better female role model than Wonder Woman is, and deeply resents Diana for being the one that women the world over idolize.
  • Smarter Than You Look: The cleavage-barring shirts, blonde dye job, Texan accent and gaudy bead jewelry do well to disguise the ambitious and manipulative woman Cale is. Of course, she's not as smart as she thinks she is.

  • Powered Armor: Her Cyber-Cat armor. The suit connected to her central nervous system, and would only respond to her brainwaves

A mysterious antithesis of Batman and Green Arrow. Throughout his career, he was a threat not only to the law enforcement agencies, but also to superheroes, especially the Justice League.


  • Badass Normal: So Badass that he has on two different engagements defeated Green Arrow and Arsenal completely single-handedly.
  • Didn't See That Coming: He didn't take into account Tommy Merlyn's presence nor mental state when he and Oliver confronted Prometheus at his lair, and that would lead to his death.
  • The Dreaded: Inspired fear on par with Batman. Even Sinestro thought of recruiting him for his corps.
  • The Faceless: Like in the comics his face and true name are unknown.

    Lady Quark (Tashana Bogdanow) 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lady_quark_earth_27.jpg

The wife of Werner Zytle and current queen of Vlatava. Probably associated with both C.R.I.M.E. and the League of Assassins. She's also the aunt of Wolfgang Bogdanow.


  • Action Mom: Mother of Cece Zytle and she most likely received training from her brief stay with the League of Assassins, plus her unknown powers as a meta-human.
  • Adaptational Backstory Change: Instead of a superhuman from a monarchy on either Earth-Six or Earth-48, she's a psionic meta-human from Earth-27.
  • Adaptational Mundanity: Instead of originating on a superpowered monarchy on another universe, she originates on Earth and appears to be a normal metahuman.
  • Adaptational Villainy: Pre-Crisis she was a more heroic figure who helped against the Anti-Monitor, while Post-Death Metal she joined the Injustice Incarnate out of resentment due to threats towards her universe. Here she's part of Werner's criminal activities from the beginning, even helping him remain on the throne.
  • Adaptation Dye-Job: Her hair is pale blonde instead of white.
  • Arranged Marriage: One made by her father Hissan and Werner Zytle, who got interested in her due to her connections and political acumen, being looking for someone who was more than a pretty face.
  • Cleavage Window: Instead of a full bodysuit, she wears an elegant dress with an opening for her cleavage.
  • Composite Character: Takes Sergei Bogdanow's role as Wolfgang's family member that took care of him after the death of his parents.
  • Femme Fatale: Tashana was trained at a young age to be a highly desirable woman to secure a good marriage. She studied singing, dancing, and learned to play the guitar. She also went to charm school and trained as a gourmet chef. In addition to such conventional skills to draw in the potential mate, Tashana also had less savory mentors that taught her how to use her feminine wiles to maximum effect.
  • God Save Us from the Queen!: Tashana is also used to interacting with diplomats, dignitaries, and bureaucrats. As the queen of Vlatava, she has considerable political influence that she can exert in her country, in the other Balkan nations, throughout Europe, and even on a global stage.
  • Greed: Tashana enjoys a certain lifestyle. She would likely do anything to make sure she did not have to go back to living like she had in her teenage years.
  • Icy Blue Eyes: Has the same blue eyes as her nephew Wolfgang and she can be pretty cold and calculating.
  • Leg Focus: Her dress comes with a slit that shows off her leg.
  • Mafia Princess: Tashana is a career criminal, forged from unfortunate circumstances. She is intimately familiar with the workings and trappings of the so-called "Avilág Empire" — the combined criminal underworlds of the Balkan nations. Tashana has connections with criminal masterminds, assassins, drug dealers, fences, arms dealers, and loan sharks.
  • Mama Bear/For Your Own Good: Tashana appears to be extremely devoted to her family. She is not likely to betray her family, though she is known to lie to her family or manipulate them when she views doing so is what is best for them individually or better for the whole family.
  • Named by the Adaptation: In the comics Tashana didn't have a family name, but here it's Bogdanow.
  • Nephewism: She at least made her nephew Wolfgang her ward after the death of his mother.
  • Related in the Adaptation: She's the sister of Anton and Szemere Bogdanow/Scimitar, making her aunt of Wolfgang Bogdanow. She's the wife of Werner Zytle and mother of Cecilia "Cece" Zytle. Through her late mother Elekanna Zsasz she's related to the late Vic Sage and Victor Zsasz.
  • Unholy Matrimony: She married Werner because he wanted not just a pretty face, but an accomplice in his ambitions, and her connections and charisma helped King Vertigo ensure his stay in power.

    Hath-Set 
  • Arch-Enemy: He's the most personal and longest lasting enemy of Hawkman and Hawkwoman.
  • The Ghost: Mentioned but not introduced yet.
  • Reincarnation: Much like the Hawks, Hath-Set has been reincarnating throughout the ages to enact his revenge on them.

    Gentleman Ghost (Jim Craddock) 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gentleman_ghost_earth_27.jpg
Click for Jim Craddock 

James "Jim" Craddock is a 19th century ghost with a grudge against Hawkman and Hawkgirl.


  • Achilles' Heel: He has a weakness in Salt, Iron and Magic like all ghosts.
  • Adaptation Dye-Job: His clothes are of different colors rather being just white.
  • Affably Evil: He's quite polite and friendly to other villains. He has even helped heroes on occasion.
  • Bling-Bling-BANG!: His old school golden revolver which he carried many years ago. Each still fired and work perfectly despite their years of age.
  • Classy Cane: Carries one to go with the gentleman look.
  • Con Man: Used to be this back when he was alive.
  • Demonic Possession: Once he possessed Bill Starr and complained at Gordon Godfrey's show that the portrayal of Fancy Jim (one of his aliases), in the movie The Rough Bunch, was inaccurate.
  • Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: He loved his mother Mattie Craddock dearly and losing her to pneumonia (and then being expelled from home by his grandfather) was a major factor in his turn to supervillainy.
  • The Faceless: His face is almost always invisible and uses this power to hide his true decayed face.
  • Gentleman Thief: Subverted Trope. The Gentleman Ghost may put on airs at times, but he's The Highwayman through and through.
  • The Gunslinger: As a former member of the Rough Bunch, he's a pretty good shot.
  • High-Class Glass: His monocle located on his invisible face.
  • In-Series Nickname: His nicknames are Jim, Dandy Jim, Fancy Jim, Gentleman Jim.
  • Man of Wealth and Taste: Does enjoy the high luxuries of life.
  • Vengeful Ghost: Because of his resentment and attachment, he's very difficult to get rid of.
  • Weaksauce Weakness: Although he is a ghost and can become completely intangible, the Gentleman Ghost can still be harmed by salt, iron, magic, Holy Relics and Nth Metal.
  • We Used to Be Friends: He was friends with the members of the Rough Bunch, but after being killed by Nighthawk he has become their enemy, especially of Hawkman and Hawkwoman.
  • Who Wants to Live Forever?: Part of his grief is that he can't pass on to the afterlife.

    Shadow Thief (Aviva Metula) 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shadow_thief_earth_27.jpg

  • Achilles' Heel: Her suit is considerably less powerful when surrounded by bright light and it offers very little protection from other Nth metal weaponry or any constructs made from light (such as those created by Lantern Rings).
  • Badass Israeli: Former Mossad and ARGUS agent who uses an incredibly advanced skinsuit.
  • Casting a Shadow: Her suit allows to blend in, transform into and control shadows.
  • Composite Character: While mostly based on the second Shadow Thief, one of her aliases is Carla Sands, the gender-flipped name of the first Shadow Thief.
  • Curtains Match the Windows: Brown hair and brown eyes.
  • Empowered Badass Normal: Aviva is a highly-talented combatant, having trained extensively in various martial art forms, including Krav Maga, Savate, and Capoeira.
  • Fantastic Racism: Because her brother was most likely murdered by The Reach, she has developed a hatred for all aliens.
  • Living Shadow: She wears a skinsuit that transform him into one. She cannot be harmed by ordinary means and doesn't feel much physical pain, even when exposed to significantly hostile forces. The armor does have some weaknesses, but Aviva doesn't advertise that info.
  • Sanity Slippage: Overuse of the suit and the tainting of the Nth Metal it's made of has eroded her sanity with time.
  • Stealth Expert: Even without the suit, she's so good at infiltration and being unseen she might as well be a ghost.
  • Super-Senses: Aviva can see in perfect darkness and has her other senses likewise enhanced at night or in darkness. Furthermore, she has the equivalent of supernatural senses for the purposes of seeing and interacting with astral forms and ethereal beings.

Fatal Five

    In General 
  • Adaptational Backstory Change: Instead of alien criminals from the 30th Century, due to the No Time Travel rule, they are instead former incarnations of Original Characters who were semi-canonized and combined with the Fatal Five.
  • Evil Counterpart: They're all evil versions of characters from the first incarnation of Earth-27 before its Soft Reboot.
  • Fallen Hero: They have all abandoned their previous heroism as Artifacts and now terrorize reality as the Fatal Five.

    Emerald Empress (Sarya of Venegar) 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/emerald_empress_earth_27.jpg

  • Adaptation Species Change: In the comics the Emerald Eye of Ekron was an actual organic eye that possessed the power of an entity known as Ekron, but here it appears to be merely a drone named EKRON.
  • Alternate Self: She's the Emily Page-Parker from the original reality before the Soft Reboot changed the universe and she was replaced by Rose Walker.
  • Ambiguously Human: Since she comes from another reality, it's not clear if she's human or member of a species of Human Aliens, similarly to the comics. At least at first.
  • Charm Person: Sarya has a passive ability to affect the emotions of others. Those most affected by this are those who remain in her proximity for the longest time and/or bond with her on some intimate level. This effect erodes other's 'resistance' to Sarya's assertions and actions, allowing her to "get away" with more problematic behavior.
  • Composite Character: Not only she's an alternate of Rose Walker/Em Parker, she's a combination of all known Emerald Empresses; Sarya, Cera Kesh, Falyce and Ingria Olav. Her outfit seems based on her Justice League Unlimited incarnation.
  • Curtains Match the Windows: Unsurprisingly she has green eyes complimented by green hair.
  • Depraved Bisexual: She swings both ways and once used her powers to blast Power Girl's outfit and check her out.
  • Driven by Envy: Sarya is a literal green-eyed monster. She is jealous of Rose Walker. She wishes to restore herself being the core Esoteric Match
  • Emerald Power: Her power comes from the Emerald Eye of EKRON.
  • God Save Us from the Queen!: She calls herself Emerald Empress, and she's one of the biggest foes of the Advena Legion.
  • Green and Mean: Her color is always green and she's one of the few villainous Ems.
  • Hero-Worshipper: She became a major herophille after one saved her from the Mad Hatter. She even joined the Challengers of the Unknown to fulfill said fetish.
  • In-Series Nickname: She's been nicknamed Double-E, Em-Squared and Greensleeves.
  • The Leader: She leads the Fatal Five like in other adaptations.
  • The Mentally Disturbed: She's not the most mentally stable person around.
  • Of Corsets Sexy: Her outfit seems to be an armored corset over a Leotard of Power.
  • Polyamory: She's married to both Tharok and Persuader. She also has a harem.
  • Power Perversion Potential: She used EKRON to blast Power Girl's outfit and "compromised" her, seemingly just so she could ogle her. One of her weaknesses is her Lust.
  • Promoted to Love Interest: In the comics Emerald Empress, Tharok and Persuader were just teammates, but here all three of them are married due to being very different people.

A chthonic-fused son of a witch, a man that's part animal, mineral and vegetable, a Mad Scientist that turned into a botfly hybrid, a living porcelain figure, a girl that's super strong and fast, but only when asleep, a woman with no arms but two floating gloves, a girl that is good at everything and a woman whose consciousness was transferred to a brutalist sculpture.

Click for Eric Morden 
  • Actor Allusion: Being former friends with Greg Saunders references Alan Tudyk and Nathan Fillion both starring in Firefly.
  • The Ageless: Born in 1916, he remains ageless due to drinking from the Holy Grail.
  • Appropriated Appelation: Back in WWII when he introduced himself after his (colorful) companions, he just said he was a nobody.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: Eric is weird, He often will do things for no clear or discernible reason. He has had his enemies defeated and on the verge of death, only to decide to spare them so they can "have fun" another day. He often talks about a "script" and will either adhere to this script with zealous fervor or claim to be going "off-script" to do something he feels is more exciting, dramatic, or fun.
  • Dimensional Traveler: Eric can remove himself and others in his proximity from their current dimension to another of Eric's choosing, usually Germelshausen or the Theater Cosmic. Eric has even shown the ability to relocate himself into many dimensions and locations which he should not have access to enter such as the Rock of Eternity or the Light at the End. He claims to have even gained access to an esoteric haven known as the Writer's Room where he beheld the Tapestry.

  • Old Friend: Of all his former acquaintances, he still considers Malcolm Merlyn his old friend.
  • Pride: Though he calls himself Mr. Nobody, Eric believes he is somebody of true significance. Insults to his pride often aggravate him. He is also prone to proving his superiority with grandiose monologues and overly complex schemes.
  • Reality Warper: Eric can use his chthonic powers to alter reality in many ways. He can drain the sanity from others, suspend the laws of physics, transform a small locale of reality into an abstract concept, and can even create complex lifeforms, such as when he used this power to create his daughter Teresa Morden.

  • Then Let Me Be Evil: At first he was content to just torment the Doom Patrol and commits acts of cartoonish villainy, after returning with his new Brotherhood, he destroyed the Dayton Clinic. Immersing himself in his newfound evilness is what caused his daughter to defect from the group.
  • Unholy Matrimony: With Tsaritsa the Queen of Fables, although currently they're married but separated.
  • Weaksauce Weakness: As Eric's physiology is saturated with chthonic energy, any exposure to vorpal energy weakens him. Vorpal entities of significance, such as an Endless or the Monitor, could theoretically strip him of his power or even "unmake" him.
  • We Used to Be Friends: With Greg Saunders all the way back to WWII. He also used to be friends with Ystina, Eve Frankenstein, Yon Kohl and Bigby Wolf. He also used to be lovers and partners in crime with The Brain, until they had a fallout and expelled him from his own group.
