In General

The Secret Six Logo

Amazon Brigade: The current incarnation is made up of five women and one man, which contrasts the previous incarnation which had four men and two women.
Anti-Hero Team: They are a group of criminals that usually go against even worse criminals.
Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: Scandal, Emily and Black Alice wear midriff-baring outfits for their mission look, while Knockout wears a crop top in casual clothes. Fiddler is the only one who wears normal modest clothes, Catman wears a regular shirt and King Shark is shirtless.
Cast Full of Gay: The team is made up of three bisexuals and one homosexual. Izzy and Lori are the only ones who are heterosexual.
Dark Action Girl: Seriously, the women of this team will mess you up.
Gender-Equal Ensemble: With the reserve members, minus Mockingbird, the team as whole has six men and six women.
The Good, the Bad, and the Evil: They differentiate themselves from other villain groups because each has their own moral code, and they usually go against supervillains that are much worse.
Magic Is Feminine: Catman, the only male of the main group, Fights Like a Normal, while the female members are all related to some sort of magic. Scandal is a half Cro-Magnon demigoddess, Jeannette is a Psychopomp, Black Alice is a Gem-Princess and Izzy wields a magical violin. Knockout is more related to the Science Fantasy side of the spectrum.
Only in It for the Money: They aren't good guys or bad guys, they're just mercenaries most of the time.

Current Members

Scandal Savage

^{Click for Civilian Look}

Scandal Savage is the daughter of the immortal supervillain Vandal Savage and Amazonian demigoddess Menodora. Much like him, she's very hard to kill.

Alliterative Name: Scandal Savage.
All the Other Reindeer: She never fit in with the other Amazons, and her distaste for their Mandatory Motherhood made her even more distant.
Archnemesis Dad: She absolutely despises her father. When your dad is Vandal Savage, this is very understandable.
Berserk Button: Don't bring up Scandal Savage's dad or do anything to remind her of him. Just don't do it. You'll be very lucky to still be in one piece if you make him enter her mind.
Butch Lesbian: Ironically, despite one of her lovers being an Amazonian Beauty, she is explicitly more masculine than her. She's certainly more masculine than Emily too.
Curtains Match the Windows: Brown hair and brown eyes.
Everyone Is Related: Through her mother Menodora, she's the granddaughter of Apollo, making her great-niece of Diana and Cassie Sandsmark.
Gorgeous Greek: Scandal's mother is an Amazonian of Themyscira and she was raised there, but she's a comparatively mild example of this trope.
Has a Type: Both her love interests are redheads.
Healing Factor: Thanks to her immortal parents Vandal and Menodora. She claims to be "damned hard to kill" at the least.
Interspecies Romance: Her, a half-Amazon with divine parentage and a New God from Apokalypse.
Jack of All Trades: Scandal has lived many lives and mastered many trades - many dealing with travel. She is a great sailor, navigator, equestrian, driver, and pilot.
Omniglot: Claims to know 27 languages.
Polyamory: With Knockout and Emily Nashton. Since she couldn't choose between them, now they're in this type of relationship.
Queer Romance: First with Furious Female Knockout and later with Emily Nashton, a savant genius. And eventually with both. Girl got game.
Really 700 Years Old: She's over 400 years old, but unlike members of the League of Assassins who use the Lazarus pits to prolong their lives, she inherited her longevity from her parents.
Related in the Adaptation: Her mother is Menodora, better known as Maravilla, making her half-Amazon, half-cro magnon.
Statuesque Stunner: While shorter than her mother, at 5'9"/175cm tall she's quite attractive.
Stronger Than They Look: Scandal can lift three times her body weight and she has taken multiple rifle rounds to her chest while keeping herself on her feet and in the battle.
Uneven Hybrid: Her father is an immortal Cro-Magnon while her mother is an Amazonian demi-goddess. She's officially classified as Demigoddess Meta-Magnon.
Unstoppable Rage: When her loved ones are endangered, Scandal has little ability to control herself. During such times, it is very easy for her emotions to boil over into a rage and not come out of it for hours or even days.
Violently Protective Girlfriend: Don't insult her wives, not even by accident. Prince Topaz's Innocently Insensitive comment about lesbians was enough to make her draw her knives and start slashing.
Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?: Vandal Savage, that's who. Her birth name is actually Francisca Pizarro and her birth was quite a scandal back in the day.
Wolverine Claws: Her Lamentation Blades, that were once part of the Suit of Sorrows and whose magic was stabilized by Themysciran artificiers.

Knockout (Kaye Ou/Kay Oak)

Amazonian Beauty: The woman is tall, toned and very beautiful.
Big Sister Worship: She grew up admiring the leader of the Furies Big Barda.
Blood Knight: Knockout loves combat, and is often the first into a fight and the last out. It doesn't overwhelm her to a degree that it endangers her allies, but she has little interest in the safety of bystanders who happen to get in her way - paying them little to no regard.
Brains and Brawn: Of Scandal's lovers, she's the brawn to Emily's brains.
Breeding Slave: She ended as one for 52 years after losing against Barda, although she didn't mind that much, seeing it as a Gilded Cage. Although she ended pregnant three times, she was never able to carry to term.
- As punishment for lying to Darkseid about the whereabouts of Barda and Scott, she was forced once more into the breeding pits, this time without privileges, where she gave birth to a daughter, who was immediately taken away by Granny Goodness.
Charm Person: As a former incubator within the breeding pits of Apokalypse, Kaye has a great deal of experience in carnal pursuits. This expertise, combined with her natural beauty, make her a legendary temptress.

Domino Mask: Wears one as Knockout.
Fashionable Asymmetry: Wears a spiked shoulder-pad on her left shoulder.

Leotard of Power: Knockout wears an armored one.
Partial Transformation: Kaye is able to alter her appearance in minor cosmetic ways, such as altering her skin color (ie: concealing her spots), changing her eye or hair appearance, growing or shrinking herself within a few inches of her natural height, and so forth.
Pet the Dog: Finding out Scott and Barda were in a relationship and had a daughter, made her leave and lie to her superiors about the couple's whereabouts. Desaad exposed her and was sent back to the breeding pits. Barda freed her and she fled to Earth, trying to make a new life for herself.
Polyamory: She's in this type of relationship with Scandal Savage and Emily Nashton.
Punny Name: Her human alias "Kaye Ou", K.O. aka Knock Out.

Redhead In Green: Either as a Fury or in casual clothes, Knockout wears green.
Statuesque Stunner: She's 6'4"/193cm tall, making her the tallest member of the current Secret Six and barely shorter than Bane. She's also a complete stunner.
Super-Reflexes: Kaye has a highly developed nervous system. Her reaction speed and hand-eye coordination are superior to that of a normal human. She can move fast enough to dodge a bullet before the gun fires.
Super-Strength: Being bred for her strength, Kaye can lift over 100 tons and has been shown able to knockout a Kryptonian with her bare hands.
Token Non-Human: She's the only member of the Secret Six who is not from Earth, being an Apokalyptan Termagant.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jeanette_halmi__incognito___earth_27__commission_by_phil_cho_ddvvchv_pre.jpg

^{Click for The Last Victim}

Jeannette is a centuries old Warder and member of the Secret Six.

Adaptation Species Change: In the comics she was indeed a banshee, but here she's a Warder, which have similar powers.
Amicable Exes: She and Scandal were once lovers, and remain good friends after many centuries.
The Baroness: A noblewoman by birth and quite kinky.
Break the Cutie: Her past... JESUS. The fact that Elizabeth Bathory was involved should clue you in.
Brown Note: She's a Warder, so her scream will mess you up hard if you hear it.
Claustrophobia: Jeanette is prone to panic attacks whenever confined or imprisoned.
Collared by Fashion: Wears a collar to hide the marks of her decapitation.
Cool Big Sis: Sees Black Alice as her pupil and surrogate little sister.
Dark and Troubled Past: She was a servant of Countess Elizabeth Bathory, who forced her to watch as she tortured and killed other servants, telling her she was going to be next. Years later, because of her previous association with the Countess, was sentenced to death and her executioner botched the execution, making her decapitation an agonizing experience.
Femme Fatale: Jeanette is a very attractive immortal pleasure-seeker who is more than comfortable using sex of all manner (except bondage) to her advantage.
Flight: In her transformed state, Jeanette can defy gravity. She usually travels around 40 to 50 MPH, but can reach speeds faster than sound.
Friends with Benefits: Currently she's on an unattached relationship with Deadshot.
Impoverished Patrician: Born to a hungarian father and french mother, she was born a noblewoman without wealth, which is how she ended up as maid for Elizabeth Bathory.
Mystical White Hair: Has white hair and is one supernatural lady that will f*** you up if she screams at you.
Named by the Adaptation: She's given the last name Halmi, and her Ops Moniker is Madame Banshee. In the comics she simply went by her first name.

Psychopomp: A Warder is a revenant supernatural being endowed with power and new life by Death of the Endless. Usually they were once mortals whose life was so consumed by death, or their death was so tragic, that their spirit would likely not pass on to the afterlife peacefully. Sensing this, Death chooses to make these departed souls into her chosen sentinels.
Really 700 Years Old: She has remained alive for almost 400 years since she returned from the dead as a Warder.
Regal Ringlets: While only a noblewoman, she has her hair in ringlets.
Sweet Tooth: Becoming a Warder left her with a sweet tooth.
Totally Not a Werewolf: Jeanette likes to say she is a banshee, but that is a lie. She is a Vödor or a "Warder". Jeanette is aware of the distinction but the lie suits her needs. One of the starkest differences between Warder and Banshee is Jeanette's scream is psychic (not sonic) in nature and causes those who hear it to feel what she felt when she died.
Vapor Wear: She doesn't wear a bra or underwear. She does wear a Leotard of Power underneath her coat while on missions.

A renowned hunter turned bumbling villain, Thomas Blake lived with a lion pride in the wild to rediscover himself. Now more deadly and resourceful, Catman has become one of the world's premier hunters and trackers.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/black_alice_earth_27.jpg

Dance Battler: Izzy is a skilled dancer, making her light on her feet. Her practice of dancing while playing her fiddle, allows her to maneuver a battlefield while continuously playing her instrument with relative ease.

Hot Witch: She's now technically considered a witch, and is very attractive.
Instrument of Murder: Although primarily a Musical Assassin, Bowin occasionally uses gimmicked violins containing blades or guns.
Magic Music: The Fiddler possesses magical abilities that she channels through her violins. Since her deal with the Devil, Izzy can use her violin (or any other musical instrument) to cast sorcerous spells thereby manipulating reality around her. Izzy might use this to summon objects and rain destruction from the sky, support allies and hinder enemies in battle, or open rifts to strange worlds. If nothing else, her violin's indestructible nature works as a club.
Meaningful Name: Bowin, as in 'bowing'; i.e. playing a violin with a bow.
Missing Mom: Her mother Rachel Rathaway passed while giving birth to her since the delivery was during a car accident.
