Characters: Flanders Company
    Flander's Company 
A Company in charge with recruiting, teaching, training and eventually assigning super-villains to super-heroes. The super-villains formed by the company follow a strict set of rules by fighting super-heroes according to a plan that end up with them losing in exchange for being paid.

Tropes applying to the whole company:
  • Card-Carrying Villain: It says something that their motto is "We do evil and we do it well".
  • Punch Clock Villain: The whole point of the organisation; though a lot of them are indeed sociopathic.
  • Pragmatic Villainy: The reason behind the Company's existence; as explained in the series, it has been created after heroes and villains alike realized how dangerous for the supers' population it was to slaughter each others without any rules. Villains agreed it was more profitable to them to play as villains for money in exchange of letting the good guys always win.
  • Weird Trade Union: A company trading Supervillains.
  • Villain Protagonist

Armand Trueman

The young, charismatic, cunning director of the Flander's Company.

Hippolyte Kurtzman/Sadoman

Caleb/Professor Chaos

Cindy Trueman/Freya

  • Absurdly Sharp Blade: Her axe seems able to cut everything, from flesh to steel or stone. Justified at least starting with season 3, where she is offered an adamantium axe.
  • An Axe to Grind
  • Axe Crazy: Litterally.
  • Barbarian Villainess.
  • Battle Cry: "BOUCHERIE!" ("SLAUGHTER !").
  • Belligerent Sexual Tension: Damien once invoked this trope by strongly hinting there was one between her and Caleb. While the animosity between the two has often been used as a running gag, it has never been confirmed there was anything beside dislike between them (though you got to wonder how she is able to say the size of his penis in "Once Again With Evil"). In season 4, she describes their relationship as a "Hate-Hate relationship" to alternate Caleb.
    • It's revealed in season 4 finale that she has a crush on the alternate version of Caleb, though she cannot spit it out.
  • Book Dumb: She is not completely dumb, but she still lacks any understanding of maths and complex schemes.
  • Celibate Villain: She appears to be extremely disgusted at the idea of getting a boyfriend, and rejected Truicidator when he attempted avances on her.
  • Cute Bruiser
  • Dark Action Girl
  • Deadpan Snarker
  • Drill Sergeant Nasty: Her attitude when training the Mooks. Partially deconstructed in that she does so much that most of them end up either dead or exhausted.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: She truly cares about her uncle, and is infuriated when the C.C. Corporation fires him.
  • Jerk With A Heart Of Jerk: She acts as Shipper on Deck to Alternate Hippolyte in his attempt to seduce mainstream Carla, but she is fully aware he doesn't stand a chance, and only does it because she finds it hilarious to see him being rejected.
  • Little Miss Badass
  • Super Strength
  • Tomboy
  • Tsundere / Cannot Spit It Out: She has feelings for Alternate Caleb, but the best she could do about it was to kiss him then insist that this didn't mean she liked him when he left.
  • Would Hurt a Child: In the Noel Special. To be fair, the children apparently weren't humans and were most likely Enfant Terrible.

Dr Damien Parker

  • Beware the Nice Ones: His Damien Mode.
  • Big Bad Ensemble: He becomes part of it in the finale with alternate George Trueman and the Chorist.
  • Face Heel Turn: The Damian personnal becomes part of the Big Bad Ensemble in the season 4 finale.
  • Grand Theft Me: Attempts this on Carla but is stopped. Succeeds it on Gladys in the season 4 finale.
  • Killed Off for Real: Played with: His body is destroyed in season 4, but both his personnalities are separated and survived... Only for Dr Parker to be accidentally killed again by Hippolyte, while his Damian personna Came Back Wrong before being killed too in the finale.
  • Manipulative Bastard: the Damian personna in the season 4 finale; he successively took advantage on Nadege's trauma to use her as a temporary slave to bring him Gladys' body, and then uses his mental powers to "convince" Cindy and Alternate Hippolyte to fight by his side, taking advantage on their feelings for Alternate Caleb and Carla, respectively.
  • Mind Over Matter: The way Damian's power is described by Dr Shredder
    • Your Head A Splode: The way he usually uses his power.
    • Mind Control: He rarely uses it, as he usually would rather just kill people through his telekinesis. It plays a major role in season 4 finale however.
  • Nice Guy
  • Sociopathic Hero: The Damien side of Parker's personnality is terrifyingly sociopathic, to the point even the other main characters, despite being dangerous themselves, were initially afraid of him.
  • Super-Powered Evil Side
  • Token Good Teammate
  • The Worf Effect: Defied. He didn't take his defeat against Pyro well and trained hard so he would be able to face her the next time.
  • Villainous Breakdown: Goes through one after his defeat against Pyro.

George Trueman

Gladys Trueman

Gringo

Igor

    C.C. Corporporation 
A company who deals with fashion design for Super-heroes. They served as the main villain for season 2 by pulling out a plan to take over the Flanders Company so they could sell their products to super-villains as well, firing Trueman in the process. They then proceeded to get rid of all members one after the others so they could get complete control over the company. Though they succeeded, Trueman and his ex-employees eventually took the company back. The CC then attempted to pull out a new plan at the beginning of season 3, but, before they could do it, their installations and most of them were decimated by Aegis, who were after the Flander's and didn't knew they had lost control. The few remaining members eventually joined force with Trueman to fight Aegis.

Tropes Applying to the whole group:

Chantal Connasse

  • Asshole Victim: Let's face it, no one can really blame Aegis for blasting her.
  • Bad Boss
  • Big Bad: Officially, she was in season 2. In practice, she was never seen and didn't do anything, leaving all the work to Carla and her team.
  • Jerk With A Heart Of Jerk: She is first seen mourning about her son's death, hinting that Even Evil Has Loved Ones... Then she quickly reveals she is mourning because his death forces her to look sad so she can stay a Villain with Good Publicity, and complains that it's ruining her makeover.
  • Meaningful Name: Her family name is a french insult that can be traduced either as "Dumbass" or "Bitch". While the first can't be confirmed, the second sure is true.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: She appears for only one episode before she gets killed by Aegis.
  • You Have Failed Me: Threatened the other CC members with this after their failure in season 2.

Jocelyn Quimjoy

Carla Brunelle

Nadege Pruneaud

  • Badass Bookworm: Her informatician skills match Caleb's.
  • Girls with Guns: Becomes this during season 3 to compensate her lack of offensive powers.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: In season 4, after her experience in the Chorists' universe. Though more in a crazy, paranoid way than the dumb, silly way of her comrads.
  • The Comically Serious: In season 2 and 3. In season 4... not so much anymore.
  • The Dragon: To Carla.
  • Intangible Woman
  • Meganekko
  • Put on a Bus: She disappears after Melo sent her in a black hole at the end of season 3
    • The Bus Came Back: but she is brought back in season 4 thanks to the opening caused by the two universes' interactions.
  • Stone Wall: In season 2; her power made her litterally indestructible as long as it was active, even immuning her to Damian's telepathy, but since she had no offensive power otherwise, she was unable to fight back. She corrects this in season 3 by using guns.

Deborah Levinsky

  • Cloud Cuckoo Lander
  • The Ditz: Believe it or not, this is actually her power. Her head is so empty it makes her invulnerable to any form of psychic attacks, including Damien's telepathy and Silver's psychic powers.
  • Fashion Victim Villain: Invoked in-universe. Her and Maxcence's poor sense of fashion is so extreme that Carla was able to use it to harass Cindy into demission.
  • Human Shield: An unusual exemple of the trope: Damien used her, not as a hostage, but as an actual shield to Silver's telepathic attacks. And it worked.
  • Killed Off for Real

Maxcence

Kevin

    Aegis 
A team of Knight Templar Hero Antagonists introduced in season 3 as the new major antagonist. When first introduced, they savagely destroy the C.C. Corporation's installations for unknown reasons. Later, they starts attacking and decimating super-villains everywhere, and it's revealed they are looking for the Flander's Company.It's eventually revealed they are formerly a small group of weak superheroes who after helping Dr Jean-Luc Shredder to escape the Flander's Company ended up with one of their members grievely injured, forcing Dr Shredder to use the others as cobaye to try to find a way to cure them... using the Damian Project formula. Predictably, this ended up turning them into incredibly powerful super-powered psychopath who want to destroy the Flander's Company and end the current system, which they believe is untolerable. They are eventually defeated through an alliance of the Flander's and the remains of the C.C. Corporation.

Tropes applying to the whole group:

Liam Campbell

  • Badass Normal: Apparently, this is what he was initially, since he had no power known.
  • Covert Pervert: he appears as the most serious, straight member of the team and displays no emotion, but Pyro once mentionned that the only thing that made her clothes interesting to him was when he stripped her of them.
  • Heroic BSOD: According to Professor Shredder, he went through one when Silver got injured in their backstory.
  • Knight Templar: Taken to the extreme in season 3 finale, where, realizing the system he is trying to stop is required for Earth to stay, he attempts to destroy Earth.
  • The Leader
  • Villainous Breakdown: When he finds out Pyro got killed. And it's scary.

Isis Pyro

  • Axe Crazy: She seems to be the one whose personnality was alternated the most by the formula, resulting in her laughing insanely when figthing, shooting almost everything in sight and taking a sadistic pleasure to kill villains. She even appeared disappointed when Kevin agreed to talk without being tortured first.
  • Dumb Blonde: Invoked by Melo.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Toward Silver.
  • Fashion Victim Villain: Invoked: She is described by Hippolyte as a "Godzilla a la Drag Queen".
  • Love Interest: to Liam.
  • Pyro Maniac

Dana "Silverfox" Campbell

Melo

    Alternate Flander's Company 

Tropes Applying to the whole Group :
  • Good Counterpart: To the mainstream Flanders' Company, litterally. Though arguable (see the above).
  • Good Is Not Nice: It's strongly implied this version of the Flander's Company, despite being heroes, is quite sinister behind the scene. Plus, George Trueman is a businessman and only offers his service to those who can actually pay, which doesn't include Africa.
  • Heroes R Us: deconstructed; while the superheroes created by this Flander's do protect people, the commercial nature of the company allows them to help only those who can pay the price. Even worst, they are injected with Mind Control nanites to ensure they obey orders and send them to actually violent missions.
  • Shout Out: their reality had to create a superhero-producing company after all actual superheroes were wiped out by a communist version of Superman...

Alternate George Trueman

  • Abusive Parent: Invoked by Alternate Armand when he outright tells his daughter that his business has more value in his eyes than her virginity. But he is truly confirmed as one when we learn he injected her Mind Control nanites to turn her into a killer without her knowing.
  • Bad Boss: Threatened Gauthier and Caleb to throw them in an acid pool when they pissed him off.
  • Big Bad Ensemble: Is revealed in the finale to be part of it, sharing the role with Damian and the Chorist.
  • Corrupt Corporate Executive: Oh God, yes. He makes Armand, Carla and Jocelyn look honest in comparison.
  • Dirty Coward / Non-Action Big Bad: Once his superheroes minions were defeated and he was left alone against Hippolyte and Caleb, he scarily tried to negociate with them by offering We Can Rule Together; they weren't impressed.
  • Evil All Along: His status as a Big Bad isn't revealed until the season 4 last two episodes, though it was hinted before he was less honest than he appeared.
  • Evil Counterpart: He is revealed to be this to the mainstream George Trueman in the finale.
  • Faux Affably Evil: When revealing his true motivation to Hippolyte, he keeps talking politely to them, even asking why they are hiding from him when they are "between civilized people".
  • Hair-Trigger Temper
  • Killed Off for Real: Caleb and Hippolyte didn't appreciate his betrayal.
  • Manipulative Bastard: Pretended to help Hippolyte and Caleb to get back to their world when he actually wanted to go to their world in order to take control of it.
  • Mind Control: He uses this on his Armand and Cindy thanks to nanites injected in their system to keep them under his order for actually violent missions.
  • The Napoleon: To the point he forces Kevin to kneel when next to him in his desk, due to Kevin being taller than him. Hippolyte even calls him one.

Alternate Kevin

Alternate Armand Trueman

Alternate Hippolyte Kurtzman

Alternate Caleb/Über Caleb

  • Bad Ass: He could handle Carla in a fight. And in the finale, he is a match to Damian possessing Gladys' body.
  • Hard Light: His primary power. He refers to it as "Quatzar Wave".
  • Lightning Bruiser
  • The Mentor: To his universe's Cindy.
  • Screaming Warrior: Comically deconstructed; his habit to scream when attacking has caused him to frequently lose his voice.
  • Sociopathic Hero: toned down; he is far saner than anyone in the original Flanders universe, but he still displays shades of it; when temporarly working with Cindy as a villain, and learning the rules villains go by in this universe, he suggests that, since they can't kill Mary-Jane Watson according to the contract, they might just break her a bone or two to make it look more realistic. This cause Cindy to express disbelief about Caleb being a hero despite such a mentality.

Alternate Cindy Trueman

Alternate Carla Brunelle

Gauthier Trueman

    Others 

Dr Jean-Luc Shredder

A scientist who used to work for the Flanders Company, and took a major part of the Damien Project.

The Chorist

An army of female zombie girls from an Alternate Universe where they have almost eradicated humanity. Following the temporal paradox caused by the interactions between the two versions of the Flander's Company, several breaches open between the worlds, allowing them to reach the two worlds and attack it from everywhere. As a result, they serves as the main villains for most of the season Until the final at least.

Trope applying to all of them
  • Attack of the Killer Whatever
  • Big Bad Ensemble: Arguably the main villains of season 4 with alternate George and Damian.
  • Expy: Most of them are obvious parody of Sadako.
  • Gone Horribly Wrong: They were created after several singers agreed to use a recent genetic method to procreate through autofecondation. As you guess, it didn't exactly turned out well.
  • Make Me Wanna Shout: Their main way to attack.
  • Mooks
  • Stringy Haired Ghostgirls
  • Zerg Rush: They are relatively easy to kill if you consider most characters in the cast have superpowers, but they are so numerous that they can quickly overpower and exhaust their enemies. By the end of season 4, most of the protagonists can hardly keep the count.
  • Zombie Apocalypse: An obvious parody of the trope.
