- Black Widow: She claims to have had much more than 5 husbands.
- Composite Character: Tala's appearance is based of the comics, while her being an apprentice and lover to Felix Faust is taken straight from Justice League Unlimited.
- Evil Sorcerer: Her greatest weapon is her knowledge of sorcery, which she could employ in various ways, including a vast knowledge of potion brewing and also but not limited to: teleportation, transmutation and telekinesis.
- Femme Fatale: She's always seen seducing men. She claims that many men have fallen to her great beauty and she may bring these men to a level of bliss that only Chaos can bring.

- Arch-Enemy: Of the Swamp Thing, being his murderer.
- Demon of Human Origin: His soul is so tainted by infernal energy that he has become a demon of sorts.

- Evil Uncle: He's the cause of much of Abby's misery in her life.
- The Ghost: Mentioned but not introduced yet.
Nick Necro (Nicolas Nolan)
- Actor Allusion: Nick looks like Keanu Reeves because of his role playing Constantine in the 2005 movie, and Nick was John's mentor and the one who inspired him to change his style of dressing.
- Alliterative Name: Nick Nolan.
- Back from the Dead: After being dead for over two decades, he was resurrected by the First of the Fallen and Nergal to be used against John Constantine.
- Badass in a Nice Suit: To contrast John's trench coat, he wears a nice suit coat and a loose tie.
- Composite Character: He's based on both 2005's Constantine and John Wick, who were both portrayed by Reeves.
- Dating Catwoman: Decades in Hell gave Nick plenty of time to reflect on his feelings for Zatanna. He's forgiven her and has reignited his romance with her. Provided they do not talk about John Constantine, the two find it easy to fall back into their grove.
- Expy Coexistence: Nick is based on the Constantine (2005) incarnation and co-exists with the more comic-book accurate version of John Constantine inspired by Matt Ryan.
- Kung-Fu Wizard: Nick can definitely hold his own in a fight against most typical opponents. In more fearsome fights, Nick is quite proficient in fusing his magical power with his blows. He is brutally efficient and he can clear a room of enemies with frightening ease.
- Manly Facial Hair: Instead of a five o'clock shadow, Nick has a well trimmed beard and he's just as manly as John Constantine.
- Necromancer: This was Anton Arcane's specialty and the first school of magic which Nick studied and mastered. He is particularly adept at performing spells and rituals associated with death, decay, and that channel the power of the Rot. It is possible that Nick's own necromancy played a part of his resurrection. As an apprentice of Anton Arcane, it's quite possible that Nick could be an avatar of the intrinsic field.
- Older Than They Look: He should be over 60 years old, but due to the time he was dead and in Hell, he looks younger than that.
- Perception Filter: Nick is adept at making people think he's someone or something else. He can also change how another person's image is perceived.
- Polyamory: He's the lover of Zatanna Zatara, who is also involved with John Constantine and Rory Regan.
- Resurrected for a Job: Nergal and the First of the Fallen resurrected him for a yet-to-be-specified job, most likely concerning John Constantine and with nefarious purposes.
- Shock and Awe: Nick can command "godfire" to emit from his body — usually his hands or eyes. This wicked magical lightning is black and violet in color. Before his death, Nick's lightning was entirely purple but it seems to have taken on an infernal aspect to it since his resurrection. His magic bolts are known to be extremely painful for ghosts, demons, angels, daimons, and fae.
- Stage Magician: Nick has mastery in stage magic: practical hypnosis, sleight of hand, and escapology. Without using his magic, Nick can slip a pain of handcuffs within seconds.
- Summon Magic: Nick is a skilled summoner of infernal beings. He can also summon a mysterious demonic voice to give him counsel and insight.
- The Topic of Cancer: In Nick's autopsy, it was discovered he had lung cancer. For whatever reason, when he was brought back to life, his cancer was not only left intact but also warded against any magical attempts to cure it. It's possible that his demonic benefactors wanted to impress upon him a reason to not betray them.
- We Used to Be Friends: John Constantine was once his pupil and lover, but after he accidentally killed him, now Nick resents him. Even though he still carries a grudge and constantly warns Constantine about a reckoning, he has yet to act on it.

- Four-Fingered Hands: Only has four fingers, which is hardly surprising for a mascot character.
- Golem: It's classified as a Confectionary Golem.
- The Needless: Stay Puft has no need to rest, eat, or hydrate. He is powered entirely by essence.
- Nigh-Invulnerability: He has survived gunfire, missile impacts, focused fire from seven flamethrowers, and even once had a Kryptonian fly through his chest. None of that fazed him in the slightest other than to upset him.
- The Not-So-Harmless Punishment: Ray tries to think of a form for Gozer to create a champion that couldn't possibly hurt anyone, and he inadvertently recalled a corporate mascot from his childhood. There were certainly worse things Gozer could have created, but it still ends up as a hostile kaiju.

- Skull for a Head: Its head is the skull of a child he uses to protect its head.

- Beard of Evil: Has a well trimmed beard and he's an occultist who plans to end the world.

- Energy Absorption: Rasputin lacks a heart. Instead, he has an essence engine built into his chest that can absorb the essence engine built into his chest that can absorb the essence from other sources — including living beings.

- Psycho Supporter/Undying Loyalty: Though Ilsa does not have emotions, she does have her own deranged sort of love for Grigori Rasputin, possibly as a result of his mesmerizing aura.

In General

- Composite Character: The Adversary from Fables' canon is combined with the Sheeda from Grant Morrison's Seven Soldiers of Victory.
- Creative Sterility: They are considered uncreative and simple glamour can fool them. Sheeda drones are notorious for being easily fooled and lacking creativity and intelligence. For this reason, the Sheeda will often employ human and Fable agents to their cause. The concept of love is also alien to them.
