The Legion of Doom
In General
- Card-Carrying Villain: All of them are completely open about their villainy.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Doctor Psycho is expelled for calling Wonder Woman the C-word. This also counts as Skewed Priorities, because they don't seem to care that he kept Giganta hypnotized.
- Legion of Doom: The Trope Namer. A collective of supervillains who teamed up to counter the Justice League.
- Poke the Poodle: They're so evil that they don't validate parking.
- Politically Incorrect Villain: The higher-ups in the Legion display some pretty sexist behavior, as the scarcity of female supervillains in their ranks can attest to, yet apparently Doctor Psycho saying the C-word is the line they're not willing to cross (though as it turns out, neither would Darkseid).
- Punch-Clock Villain: Their entire schtick. In this show, being a supervillain is like a career path one can pursue, and in that vein the Legion of Doom is a fancy big-time corporation that other villains hope to be able to join to prove they've made "the big leagues". They have meetings to discuss evil plans and if the Legion should devote resources to a member's plan or not, have a pool of henchmen they can request or be loaned out for schemes, and even have a coffee lounge where they gossip like co-workers. When Scarecrow gives Harley's crew a tour of the Legion headquarters, it's framed like a company executive showing some new trainees around the office. And in the spirit of the trope, most of them have normal lives outside being supervillains that they return to when they're "off-hours".
- Skewed Priorities: Although they expelled Dr. Psycho for being a misogynist, they only did it because he said the C-word, but they don't seem to care that he had Giganta as a hypnotized girlfriend.
- Uncertain Doom:
- The Joker blew up the Legion of Doom headquarters at the end of Season 1 and talks about the Legion like it's been destroyed, but no bodies are shown or specific deaths confirmed, so any number of the Legion's members could have survived or just been out of the building at the time.
- Bane, Penguin, the Riddler, and Two-Face return in Season 2 — with new addition Mr. Freeze — to form their new organization, the "Injustice League".
- Luthor later turns up just fine in Season 2's Episode 9, during an operation to take over Themyscira.
- Several more members turn up as guests at Ivy's (aborted) wedding, so we can assume that few if any were casualties of Joker's coup.
- As of Season 4, it turns out that the rebuilt Legion of Doom pretty much has the same lineup of supervillains as before, with Lex giving the reigns over to Poison Ivy, so the damage caused by Joker’s scheme is negligible at best. However, the feud between Luthor and Ivy boils over, causing Luthor to be banished to Apokolips by Steppenwolf and the main Legion headquarters (as well as several subsidiaries) being blasted to bits by Ivy using Luthor’s laser weapon. It once again appears that the primary L.O.D. membership managed to escape unscathed thanks to an evacuation order broadcasted by Batgirl, but with the main leadership dismantled and their assets reduced to irradiated dust, the future of the villainous conglomerate again remains in question.
- Weird Trade Union: They function similar to this, including kicking out offending members publicly and sharing resources. See Punch-Clock Villain above.
The Joker
The Joker
Voiced by: Alan Tudyk
The Clown Prince of Crime, Batman's Arch-Nemesis, and Harley's abusive ex. The show kicks off with Harley getting sick of Joker mistreating her and she leaves him to make a go of things solo. However, the Joker still holds a powerful emotional sway over Harley that influences her decisions, and he personally can't stand the idea of Harley leaving him and becoming successful on her own. This coupled with the fact he's one of the biggest names in supervillainy in the DC universe, and Joker and Harley have a very complex, antagonistic relationship.
- Ace Custom: A lot, if not, all of the Joker's weapons and gear have his color motifs (green and purple) or his face on them.
- Acid Attack: He primarily uses acid as his main weapon, often to disolve his victim alive.
- Adaptational Attractiveness: During Season 2 when he's sane, amnesiac, and normal-looking, he's surprisingly handsome and fit. Every other occasion where he's depicted to have a normal appearance, he's always shown ranging from ordinary looking to utterly nerdy.
- Adaptational Jerkass: He's even worse towards Harley here than he is in comic books. Joker is just as abusive and emotionally manipulative as normal, but his ego is so big that the thought of Harley choosing to dump him drives him up the wall. Joker thus takes greater pains to keep her around when the risk presents itself. His usual view of Harley is that she's a useful minion, but otherwise is as ambivalent about whether she leaves or not as he is about anything else. He tries killing her more out of principle than out of personal grievance, though the latter is certainly part of it.
- Adaptational Nice Guy: He's mellowed out considerably after briefly losing his memories, and he genuinely comes to love both Bethany and her kids, even if he still wants to continue living the life of a murderous supervillain. He also gives genuine advice to Harley regarding her relationship with Ivy. Compared to his comic book self in Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight where he went sane and found love with a woman... only to completely regress back to being a homicidal monster while totally abandoning his new lover, this incarnation of Joker at least comes off as having become a mildly better person after regaining his memories.
- Affably Evil: In Season 3, he's still a proud supervillain at heart, but now he's also a loving Family Man and a decent citizen who even tries to be nice to his new Sitcom Arch-Nemesis.
- Alpha Bitch: Acts like every other villain — even heavy-hitters like Two-Face, the Scarecrow, Bane and the Penguin — is part of his devoted entourage or personal goon squad, and orders them around and mistreats them without any regard to their feelings, just because he's considered the #1 criminal in Gotham. Harley embarrasses him by publicly calling him out for being such a dick in "A High Bar", even referring to his behavior as bullying; although he tries to laugh the situation off, the others agree with her that he can be pretty cruel at times.
- Ambiguously Bi: He is Harley's ex, but his relationship with Batman is treated romantically. Harley is also not convinced when he denies having sex with Bane and the Scarecrow. He also ends up falling in love and living with a nurse named Bethany, and stays with her even after his memories have been restored.
- Amnesiacs are Innocent: Season 2 shows that being dunked into his own memory-wiping acid turned him into a kindhearted, normal everyman who genuinely cares about his girlfriend and her kids, pretty much the opposite of his usual persona, with no memory of being a supervillain.
- Arch-Enemy:
- Batman, as usual. In fact The Joker is so obsessed with being Batman’s main enemy that he actually takes offense at Harley attempting to replace him as such for Batman.
- He's also this to Harley Quinn. Joker abused and manipulated Harley when she was his underling, with season 1 revolving around Harley trying to get out of the Joker's shadow after breaking up with him, while the Joker attempts to outdo Harley at every turn when he’s unable to control her, eventually culminating in the two trying to kill each other in the finale. While their mutual enmity seemingly mellows out after Harley brings back the Joker, her hatred for him returns in season 4 when Joker cripples Barbara Gordon in front of Harley, whom Harley had befriended.
- Arc Villain: The Joker is the main antagonist of Season 1 as Harley comes to grips with life outside of their relationship. He still tries to get her back, and when that fails, tries to kill her as punishment for daring to leave him.
- Armor-Piercing Question: While he points out how Ivy is manipulating Harley towards her own goals like he used to, the Joker brings up one important question that calls Harley's true feelings about Ivy's ambitions into question: when has Harley ever forgotten her baseball bat?
- Attention Whore: He doesn't like any other villain hogging up the news spotlight. Harley doing it just rubs salt in the wound.
- Ax-Crazy: As per the norm with the Joker, he's sadistic, unpredictable, and kills almost anyone near him (even his own men) without any thought or reason, even labeling himself an "agent of chaos".
- Bad Boss: He shoots and blows up his own goons whenever he feels annoyed or bored.
- Badass in a Nice Suit: As is usual for the character, the Joker takes charge as an A-list villain in a sharp purple suit and tie.
- Bait the Dog: Throughout most of "A Seat at the Table", Joker treats Harley with respect, acknowledges her accomplishments, and acts as if he finally takes her seriously as a fellow supervillain instead of a disposable minion. Near the end, he does what Harley always dreamed about by taking her with him to escape from Batman instead of leaving her behind... And then pushes Harley out of the helicopter. As Batman says to Harley, some things never change.
- The Bartender: His sane self shows up working as a bartender in season 2.
- Being Good Sucks: While his attempt to become a (slightly) better person was genuine, even if he was only doing it for his newfound family, he realizes in season 4 how boring it is for him to be a decent and competent mayor. Sure enough, it doesn't take much for The Joker to return to villainy after killing the gardener annoying him.
- Berserk Button: Scarecrow unmasking Batman makes him absolutely furious, completely going off on him, ranting that half the fun of their rivalry was the fact that no one knew who Batman was.Joker: Now I know Batman's just some boring rich asshole with parental issues.
- Big Bad Wannabe: The Joker become this for Season 4 when his attempts to regain his infamy backfire. The Joker is unable to kill Nightwing, instead taking credit for the murder, which leads to the rest of the villains losing respect for him when they learn the truth. While he does manage to cripple Barbara Gordon, he is easily dealt with in the next episode, and it is ultimately Lex Luthor who becomes the biggest threat to Harley.
- Brought Down to Normal: In "The Final Joke" he makes a chemical bath to erase Harley's memories and distinctive bleached skin, to turn her into a "nobody" he won't have to care about anymore. At the end of the episode, Harley and Ivy throw him into it instead, reducing him to his regular amnesiac Pre-Joker rather than the Clown Prince of Crime.
- The Bully: He takes every chance he gets trying to belittle, upstage, sabotage, and/or humiliate Harley. He does this whether she's attending a bar mitzvah or stealing a nuclear warhead from the Russians. He's hardly any better to his peers in the Legion of Doom, as he casually bosses them around, insults them to their faces, and steals food right off their plates. With Harley, It's Personal for having the audacity to dump him.
- Bullying a Dragon: Insults and orders around his fellow villains but especially Bane-who could snap him in half without Venom. Clearly they only put up with him out of fear, until Harley points out that he has no powers whatsoever, and they don't have to listen to him.
- Cannot Tell a Joke: While he still gets a few good ones, this incarnation of the Joker is just plain bad at most of his jokes. The media consider Riddler funnier, and he can't stand it when Harley says one of his stories is hilarious but doesn't laugh. At one point, he explains to a captive Gotham that his off-screen henchmen found his last joke funny, though no laughter could be heard.
- The Confidant: The sane Joker, of all people, is the one who offers to lend an ear to Harley's love life problems with Ivy.
- Consummate Liar: Whenever the Joker makes a confession or promise, especially to Harley, you can be sure he's telling lies to manipulate her. As Ivy says, the Joker always lies should be surprise to no one but Harley.
- Crazy Jealous Guy: When he finds out Batman didn't come to stop him from robbing a bank because he's fighting Harley, he gets pissed off at Harley trying to steal "his" Batman.
- Dirty Communists: Parodied. Joker's mayoral platform is explicitly leftist, but it's unremarkable "sewer socialism" that aims to benefit the city through stronger infrastructure and civic programs (universal health care, bilingual schooling), paid for by higher taxation on Gotham's many wealthy citizens. Though he makes a show of direct wealth distribution, his campaign being structured like a reign of terror is completely unrelated to any ideology; it's just because he's the Joker. And, conversely, though he's pretty callous in breaking the news to Gordon, abolishing the police department isn't even revenge on Jim or a pretense to commit crime — it IS ideological.Suave: You want the rich to pay for all this? Are you, like, a socialist?
Joker: I'm not like a socialist...
[He grins at the camera as a comically overblown scare chord plays]
Joker: I AM a socialist. - Does Not Like Spam: He cannot stand raisins. When Harley gave him pudding full of chocolate chips in "Til Death Do Us Part", he is so riled up by the Riddler's newfound infamy that he is quick to assume the pudding has raisins instead and shoots it to crumbs.
- Domestic Abuse: During his entire relationship with Harley, he emotionally manipulated, lied, and repeatedly abandoned her. Harley put up with it for so long because she deluded herself into thinking he loved her. This lasts until Joker doesn't hesitate to drop her into what both think is acid just so the Riddler doesn't take the credit for killing Batman. It pisses Joker off so much when she finally leaves him that he sics his goons on her (which only leads to his men getting killed and his evil lair destroyed). In any case, the Joker is presented as an abuser, and that it's a good thing that Harley is getting away from him.
- The Dreaded: Why he can act like an Alpha Bitch and order around even Gotham A-Listers like they're cannon fodder — he pretty clearly scares the hell out of them. It doesn't last though, when Harley points out to the other Gotham supervillains that he's being a bully to people stronger than him.
- Even Evil Can Be Loved: Bethany and her two children love him and happily accept him as part of their family even after he's turned back evil. Joker returns the love by being a loving husband and father while still being a maniac.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Even after returning to his original evil self, Joker still loves Bethany and her kids. He admits nothing will ever change him being a murderous psycho, but he has found people he truly cares about for the first time. After returning to villainy, he balances his life with being a good husband and father.
- Even Evil Has Standards:
- He's genuinely disturbed at Commissioner Gordon's Sanity Slippage because in his eyes, all he did was "paralyze" his "partner". Now keep in mind that he intended to drive Gordon crazy in the source material, so either this was not the amount of crazy he aimed for or this was collateral damage for something that happened along the way.
- He complains about the Queen of Fables indulging in alcohol, saying it's only Wednesday.
- He complains to Bruce Wayne about Wayne Tech not having yet delivered their promised electric cars despite having put down a deposit, meaning not only is Joker environmentally conscious enough to drive an electric car, but he was also willing to pay for it rather than steal one.
- He expresses disgust to Gordon for Two-Face, Gordon's campaign manager, taking his son hostage and threatening to kill him.
- Evil Feels Good: Despite trying to become a somewhat better person for Bethany the Joker reminiscences about his past life as a villain after finding his new occupation as Mayor of Gotham City to be boring and enjoys killing the gardener boring him so much so that he decides to return to his villainous ways and is ecstatic that he is able to convince his new family to follow him in this kind of thinking.
- Evil Is Petty: After becoming mayor of Gotham in season three, he has the favorite parking space of a Rich Bitch who was rude to him designated as the exclusive parking space of Gotham's mayor.
- Evil Laugh: He wouldn't be the Joker without it.
- Evil Parents Want Good Kids: Even though he's Gotham's top supervillain, all he wants for his stepchildren is good education and a bright future.
- Ex-Big Bad: Joker was the main antagonist of the first season, but he spent all of the second season as an Amnesiac Generic Guy, then in season three became a semi-reformed Family Man. Though he can still be a threat and Harley is vehemently against him being mayor of Gotham, his relationship with Harley has mellowed to the point that she can casually ask him for advice about other criminals in Gotham now. Even when he decides to go back to his villainous ways, he is treated more as a Big Bad Wannabe that nobody fears or respects.
- Family-Values Villain: As an amnesiac, Joker finds himself a nice girlfriend and loves her two kids as if they were his own. After Harley turns him back into his evil self, Joker still loves his new family and does his best to be a good suburban dad for them, even though he doesn't give up his loony streak.
- Faux Affably Evil: He can act nice when he wants to, but it's plainly obvious that said niceness is simply his way of mocking others.
- Foe Romance Subtext: As Harley notes, the Joker "only loves Batman". In one episode, he breaks into a fight between Harley and Batman and raves at her about trying to steal "his Batman" and proclaims on national television that he and Batman are "together".
- The Friend Nobody Likes: Despite his status as #1 criminal in Gotham, most if not all the rest of the rogues fear or just straight-up dislike him either because of his Domestic Abuse on Harley, or just because he's a dick. To illustrate this trope, when Harley jokes with the Scarecrow, Two-Face, and Bane, they laugh in genuine humor. But when the Joker mocks Harley, their laughs sound more forced.
- Good Feels Good: Played with. After losing his memories, he spends an idyllic six months as a Nice Guy suburban dad. When he gets his memories back, he decides that it was a much better and healthier lifestyle than his previous one... and decided to be both an ideal husband and father with a loving family and an A-list supervillain. In Season 3, he's actually making it work. Eventually subverted in season 4 when he realizes Being Good Sucks and goes back to being a villain.
- Good Stepmother: A male example. He really loves his girlfriend's children and they quickly accept him because he got them a puppy. Impressively, he manages to keep it going even after he gets his previous memories back and becomes a supervillain again.
- Hate Sink: Since this series is the story of Harley Quinn breaking free of Joker's grip on her, he's made as despicable as possible to heighten the catharsis of her triumphs. The Joker's Domestic Abuser traits are ramped up to make him a misogynistic asshole who treats Harley like a piece of property, to say nothing of his hatred for women in general. He's a raging narcissist who makes everything about himself and cares for no one else, and the usual dominance and fear he evokes in his fellow supervillains is framed like a petty Alpha Bitch bossing around their cronies. And he also retains his usual shtick of being a mass-murdering cackling psychopath. All of this is done with the intention of making Joker unsympathetic and make Harley's victories more meaningful. He drops several of his more unpleasant traits upon his return in season 2. He's still a mass-murdering psychopath, but his time with Bethany while amnesiac makes him realize what true love is. He also no longer is focused on or seemingly even interested in claiming Harley like property. Rather shockingly, he veers completely away from this in Season 3, as he becomes a legitimate family man who genuinely loves his new girlfriend and step-children, even if he hasn't completely given up on committing crimes.
- Heel–Face Revolving Door: After recovering from his amnesia Joker sticks to being a loving husband and stepfather to the family that took him in rather than return to his supervillain lifestyle, losing his Politically Incorrect Villain traits and successfully running for mayor to combat racism in schools. He's still considered enough of a supervillain to host the Villy Awards and robs banks as part of his mayoral campaign, but has so far not (intentionally) murdered anyone, even going so far as to stop Gordon from killing Two-Face. Come season 4, he decides to return to villainy, and he convinces his new family to join him.
- He's Back!: In the Season 2 finale, Harley reluctantly shoves a sane amnesiac Joker into the acid vat in order to restore his memories, being that only the Joker knows where the Justice League is being imprisoned. Luckily, his six months of amnesia left an impression, and while he's still a highly dangerous supervillain, he's much less of a jerk.
- And again in Season 4, when he announces his return to villainy by claiming he killed Nightwing, later revealed to be a lie.
- Hero Killer: Like in many continuities, it's established that he has killed the second Robin Jason Todd. He also claims to have killed Nightwing offscreen, though Barbara quickly proves that he was lying about killing Nightwing.
- Hijacked by Ganon:
- In the second half of the first season, the focus shifted from him to Lex Luthor as the main villain, as Luthor is the one manipulating Harley and Ivy and is implied to be behind the abduction of Ivy via the Scarecrow. Then the penultimate episodes of the season reveals the Scarecrow was actually working for him, and he blows up the Legion of Doom and becomes the Final Boss of the season.
- Subverted in the second season. Harley reverses his amnesia in a Godzilla Threshold moment to help deal with Dr. Psycho, but rather than becoming the new Big Bad (as one would normally expect from him), he's been changed enough by his time without his memories to remain a help rather than a hindrance. They even part on reasonably cordial terms once she no longer needs his assistance.
- Hypocritical Humor: He says women cannot be funny, meanwhile his favorite movie is Legally Blonde.
- After successfully stealing a nuclear bomb Harley failed to make off with, Harley accuses him of only being successful because he has a bunch of goons who do whatever he says. The Joker denies this, and then orders his goons to throw Harley out the door, and they respond "Whatever you say."
- I Gave My Word: The only good thing that can be said about him was that he kept his promise and released Harley's crew when she turned herself over to him and wore her old costume.
- I Love You Because I Can't Control You: When he was with Harley, he only used her as a plaything for mind games and abuse because she was fascinated with the famous killer clown and believed anything he told her that would make her feel needed. With his new girlfriend Bethany, he met and fell in love with her when he was an amnesiac average Joe and her headstrong personality won't ever let him manipulate her like he did with Harley.
- Irony: In most of the history of the franchise, it's an established fact that Joker cares nothing for Harley and is solely fixated on Batman. Here for the bulk of season 1 Joker cares more about getting back at Harley while being as apathetic towards his nemesis as he usually is to Harley even when he has him dead to rights.
- It's All About Me: Batman and Harley describe him as a sociopathic narcissist, and his portrayal in the show embodies both the sociopath and the narcissist. He forces people to go along with whatever he's doing, and what upsets him more than anything else is Harley getting away from him to be her own superperson, whether heroic or villainous. Even regarding Batman, he doesn't give a damn who he is or why he exists, only that he exists for his own rivalry and amusement. This seems to no longer be the case after he regains his memories, as the affection he developed towards Bethany and her kids while sane remained even though he has no intentions of turning back from being a supervillain.
- Jerkass: He's a slimy, spiteful and manipulative misogynist who verbally abuses even the villains he calls friends. and murders his own henchmen at random.
- Karma Houdini Warranty: After being brought back by Harley, The Joker gets a happy life with a family who loves him, becomes Mayor of Gotham City, and manages to defeat his Arch-Enemy by having him arrested for tax evasion, all while receiving no punishment for his past actions in season 1… that is, until season 4. The Joker becomes completely bored with his new life and success, the rest of the villains lose their respect and fear of him, Batgirl humiliates him on a podcast, and eventually Harley kidnaps the Joker and hands him over to Jim Gordon so that he can get his revenge on The Joker for crippling his daughter.
- Kavorka Man: Despite his clownish looks, he is able to charm women to him, not easily but good enough.
- Kick the Dog: He shoots and cripples Batgirl towards the end of Season 4.
- Kill and Replace: The very first scene of the series shows him killing a guy and making a literal bodysuit out of his skin.
- Laughing Mad: He's usually less prone to it than other versions, but any chance he gets to do something exceptionally cruel to others really sets him off; after murdering Ivy with a harpoon and seeing Harley break down in tears, he can barely do anything but cackle at her grief.
- Lost Pet Grievance: His Freudian Excuse story has his Abusive Dad killing his beloved pet ferret. Of course, it's a subversion because that story was actually about Ivy's ficus and Joker just stole it to buy Harleen's sympathy.
- Love Epiphany: He starts bringing up his relationship with Bethany seemingly just to taunt Harley about it only to realize mid-thought that he actually was in love with her.
- Love Is a Weakness: In the Season Finale, he claims he was in love with Harley, which he views as a weakness that he must eliminate. His time while amnesiac with Bethany makes him realize what true love is upon his return in season two.
- Love Redeems: He doesn't plan to quit being a supervillain, but falling in love with Bethany and becoming a stepfather to her children has significantly softened him by season 3. He lives as a suburban dad who tries to get along with everyone for the sake of his family and only robs a bank as part of his campaign when he decides to run for mayor for the sake of improving his stepchildren's education.
- Made of Iron: Survived both a chemical bathe, and being at the center of a city leveling earthquake.
- Makeup Is Evil: Harley says he always stole her lipstick. He also seems to wear eyeshadow.
- Mayor Pain: Shockingly subverted when he becomes Gotham's new mayor in Season 3. Despite him having been a mass-murdering psychopath just two seasons ago, he actually genuinely works to reform Gotham for the better and is adored by the public for it.
- Monster Clown: Wouldn't be the Joker without it. He still maintains his usual shtick of flowers that shoot acid, bad jokes, and deadly pranks. However, these traits are toned down in favor of his Jerkass and Domestic Abuser behavior.
- Mundane Solution: How does The Joker finally defeat Batman after spending all this time fighting him? Get Batman arrested for tax evasion while he’s still under his civilian identity, Bruce Wayne. Though to Joker’s credit, he might not have been able to do this before becoming mayor and learning about Batman's secret identity really Scarecrow.
- Narcissist: Referred to as one by Harley and Batman. All the Joker cares about is himself, getting what he wants and having all the power and attention of Gotham for himself. His relationship with Bethany ends up pushing him out of it, giving him people he actually cares about more than his own wants.
- No Honor Among Thieves: Forced Harley to fend off Batman to buy him enough time to escape and never even bothered to come back for her despite his promises to do so.
- Not Me This Time: It turns out that he didn’t actually kill Nightwing despite insisting that he did, but rather it was an insomniac Harley Quinn.
- "Not So Different" Remark: At the end of Season 3, Joker tells Ivy that her treatment of Harley isn't that much different or less toxic from how he emotionally manipulated her and dragged her into a life of crime she didn't really want, even if Ivy does love Harley and isn't intentionally controlling her like he did. Although Ivy wanted to believe she and Harley are a villain couple of equals, she realizes Joker might be right since Harley has been acting more like a hero than a villain lately yet she's forcing herself to follow Ivy's villainous ambitions because she doesn't want to lose her.
- Not-So-Harmless Villain: While he does become a Big Bad Wannabe in Season 4 who loses the respect of his previous peers, especially after Batgirl reveals to the world that he didn’t actually kill Nightwing, he’s still, The Joker, who can easily become a dangerous threat if pushed too far. He did murder an innocent gardener for simply boring him while also managing to cripple Barbara as revenge for humiliating him in a podcast.
- The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: He would readily choose to have his Perky Female Minion killed before letting another supervillain have the glory of killing his Arch-Nemesis Batman.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: He's in such a funk over Harley that when he tortures Batman and murders the Scarecrow, he's just bored.
- Papa Wolf: A psychopath Monster Clown he may be, he's a good step-father to his girlfriend's children and will not let any harm aimed towards them slide. When Two-Face kidnaps Benicio, the Joker rushes to the rescue in a heartbeat and was ready to drop the elections for Mayor for his safety.
- Politically Correct Villain: His Character Development by the third season has him becoming more progressive. He is disgusted with Debbie Shirley for being a racist Karen, advocates for his Hispanic girlfriend's children to get a bilingual education so they can stay in touch with their cultural roots and successfully runs for mayor of Gotham City on a socialist platform, with his policies focused on helping the working class and providing the incarcerated with more humane treatment. In "The Horse and the Sparrow", he is also considerate enough to acknowledge the existence of non-binary people when he says "Ladies and gentlemen", plus the tie-in comic miniseries Legion of Bats shows him officiating an interracial gay wedding.
- Politically Incorrect Villain: As well as his long history of abusing Harley, the Joker is shown to be pretty slimy and misogynistic in general; when one of his henchmen suggests Harley is the funniest criminal in Gotham, he repeatedly shoots the guy in the chest, saying "women aren't funny" with the same dismissive tone a chauvanistic stand-up comedian might use when talking about female comics.
- Pride: His defining trait. The Joker won't ever accept anyone as his equal and has zero respect for his minions and other supervillains. Harley dumping him infuriates him because she's his "creation" and he won't ever accept her gaining independence from him. Even when pretending to praise Harley, he won't call her better than him.
- Psychopathic Manchild: At his core, he's an overgrown, attention-seeking brat whose favorite game is brutally massacring people and playing with their minds.
- Redemption Failure: In Season 4, he starts to find the job of a benign mayor boring compared to his villainy days and reverts to his evil ways by killing an innocent citizen for fun.
- Refreshingly Normal Life-Choice: After being cured of his physical and mental abnormalities in the Season One finale, The Joker lives his life as a boring, but compassionate amnesiac living out domestic bliss with a girlfriend and her two kids. After Harley "cures" him of this in "A Fight Worth Fighting For", he breaks up with her, only to realize that he actually found genuine love and apologizes to her, deciding to go back to being Joker while also enjoying a life with a family.
- Retired Monster: The Joker gives up on his previous life of villainy to become a family man before becoming a surprisingly competent mayor for Gotham City despite the fact he never showed any regret or remorse for all the atrocities that he had committed during that time. In fact, he actually reminiscences on his villainous days in season 4 and finds his newfound life to be so boring that he decides to come out of retirement and become a villain again.
- Secret Identity Apathy: His already foul mood in "The Final Joke" is made considerably worse when the Scarecrow rips off Batman's cowl, as "half the fun" of their rivalry was not knowing that Batman was "some boring rich asshole with parental issues". Even after killing Scarecrow and still having Bruce at his mercy, rather than twist the knife over his enemy's childhood trauma, he just goes off on a petty rant about how WayneTech hasn't delivered on an electric car they promised last year.
- The Sociopath: Pretty much standard for the Joker. He talks about the horrible things he does with a blase demeanor, treats violence as a joke, manipulates Harley, is incredibly prideful, treats his own minions like they're disposable (if he doesn't outright kill them himself for petty reasons), is unpredictably violent, bullies his own colleagues, and shows no remorse for anything he does. Both Batman and Harley describe him as a "sociopathic narcissist" in the Season One finale. He's still a violent serial killer upon his return in season two, but he actually seems to edge a bit away from this trope by wishing to maintain his connection with Bethany and her kids, seemingly showing that he's developed the capacity to care about other people.
- Split-Personality Takeover: Played With. At the end of the first Season Finale, the Joker is rendered an amnesiac and completely sane. In season 2, Harley finds him as a normal man, but his original evil personality is still there, just dormant. The Joker's personality effectively regains full control after Harley pushes him into a chemical bath so that he can remember the location of the imprisoned Justice League. It's Played With because while he tries to convince others that his normal persona meant nothing, the love that he developed for his new family as a normal man comes rushing back after he becomes the Joker again.
- The Starscream: It's revealed in "Devil's Snare" that he plotted with the Scarecrow and the Queen of Fables to destroy the Legion of Doom and replace it with an organization devoted entirely to him.
- Status Quo Is God: Played With. In Season 2, Joker becomes a sane amnesiac. He's back to being the Joker by the end of Season 2, but he's irreversibly changed by his experiences with Bethany and her children, becoming much less concerned with supervillainy and more with being a good stepfather and mayor.
- Stealing the Credit: To make it back quickly to the top of the supervillain world, he claims to have killed Nightwing. This is later revealed to be a lie and the real killer was Harley.
- Sticky Bomb: His favored weapon seems to be sticky explosive discs with his face plastered on them. His use of them actually causes his downfall in the first episode, as Harley steals a few from a crate full of them to destroy his hideout.
- Taking You with Me: Tries to inflict this on Harley, Ivy, Batman and seemingly all of Gotham as his final criminal act before his Death of Personality.
- Took a Level in Kindness: A very minor but noticeable one upon his return in season two. He's still a Jerkass and serial killer, but he seems to no longer be obsessed with possessing Harley, considering that he gives her some legitimate advice regarding her relationship with Poison Ivy. He also still wants to make his relationship with Bethany and her kids work, while he originally was completely obsessed with himself and Batman. It ends up being culminative by Season 3, as he's begun prioritizing his family's well-being over traditional supervillainy. The worst he does is commit robberies in order to fund his mayoral campaign. Even after Two-Face kidnaps and tries to kill his stepson, Joker stops Gordon and Bethany from killing him.
- Troubled, but Cute: What attracted Harley to him was believing the possibility that he was a human being traumatized in his childhood and in need of her help. Hearing his Freudian Excuse story with an Abusive Parent made her think she was right about him until Ivy reveals he simply stole her Freudian Excuse to buy Harley's sympathy.
- Truer to the Text: In a weird way, him getting other his Straw Misogynist characterization and becoming a Politically Correct Villain after his amnesia had this effect, since in most depictions The Joker is a Misanthrope Supreme who would never single out one group of people as being inferior to another because he sees' all life as equally inferior.
- Understatement: He "paralyzed" Commissioner Gordon's "partner" and he's not sure why the commissioner's gone so crazy from it.
- Universally Beloved Leader: Surprisingly, even though he has been the worst supervillain in Gotham City for years, Joker manages to win over the public during his mayoral campaign and the citizens adore him.
- Vague Age: The Scarecrow specifically says the Joker is 38 years old while the Clown Prince himself swears that off, saying he is only 25 years old. That goes in hand with the eternal mythos that he will never have a definitive background, and later with the updated lore that there might be even more than one person being the Joker.
- Victory Is Boring: Once he has imprisoned Batman and exposed his identity in the Season 1 finale, he finds him boring and loses interest. That said, at the time this happens he is more obsessed with breaking Harley, enough so that it overrides even his rivalry with Batman.
- Villainous Breakdown: In the Season 1 finale, being faced with turning back to normal leaves him begging for his life.
- With Friends Like These...: Even among the villains he calls his friends, the Joker is casually rude and verbally abusive, and they just take it until Harley convinces them to stand up to him. He also kills Scarecrow without second thought when he unmasks Batman to improve the Joker's mood.
Lex Luthor
Lex Luthor
Voiced by: Giancarlo Esposito
Superman's Arch-Enemy, CEO of LexCorp, and leader of the Legion of Doom.- Adaptational Dumbass: In the comics Lex is a tenth level intellect, meaning he's smarter than everyone else on the planet put together by an order of magnitude. Here he needs to have someone tell him the conversion between centimeters and feet.
- Ambiguously Brown: He has a slightly tan complexion and pronounced lips and is voiced by an actor of African-American descent. It's left in the air if he's meant to reflect his voice actor's ethnicity, or if he's meant to be Greek like his Superman: The Animated Series counterpart.
- Arch-Enemy
- Superman, as usual. In fact, Lex Luthor hates Superman so much that he blocks out the sun for Earth, which causes the apocalypse in the Bad Future just to depower Superman before abducting him so he can steal his powers, cape, and hair.
- Lex also reaches this status with Ivy. Lex’s grudge against Ivy is a result of her constant refusal to join his Legion of Doom, and when Ivy finally does so, she manages to upstage him at every turn, causing Lex to hate Ivy as much as Superman (if not more so), to the point where the first thing he does after obtaining Superman’s powers is to humiliate Ivy at his birthday party. The feeling is mutual for Ivy, as she hates Lex Luthor for straining her friendship with Harley in Season 1, robs Ivy of her life source (the sun), enjoys upstaging him whenever she can, and makes it her top priority to stop Lex for good when she learns that he has obtained Superman’s powers.
- Arc Villain: Lex is the main antagonist of Season 4. While one could argue that he's part of a Big Bad Ensemble with The Joker and Talia Al Ghul, Lex takes center stage as the biggest threat of said season after blocking out the sun, causing an apocalyptic Bad Future in the process, and stealing Superman's powers. The Joker is reduced to being a Big Bad Wannabe in the midst of all this and Talia serves as an indirect Greater-Scope Villain.
- Bald of Evil: As typical, he doesn't have a single hair on his head. It's implied that he's insecure about his baldness, since he starts trying to grow hair after Ivy shows him up, and succeeds in having four more hairs than he usually has. In "Killer's Block", he not only steals Superman's powers and cape for himself, but his full head of hair as well.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: He wouldn't be Lex if he wasn't this. In "L.O.D.R.S.V.P.", he acts nothing but gracious and polite to Harley, while secretly scheming to use her to force Ivy to join the Legion.
- Card-Carrying Villain: When he appears on the news to kick Doctor Psycho out of the Legion of Doom, he mentions Psycho does not represent the Legion's brand of evil.
- Comically Serious: Much of the humor revolving around him comes from reacting to series' wacky situations with a straight face.
- Compensating for Something: Lex needs to flaunt his wealth so badly, else Superman might feel superior to him. Clark Kent isn't impressed by his daily routine of bathing in baby seal blood and getting dressed by four identically named sycophants who compliment him endlessly.
- Even Evil Has Standards: He kicks Doctor Psycho out of the Legion of Doom after he calls Wonder Woman and Giganta the C-word. Not that he respects women that much, but he at least has the decency to not insult them on national television.
- Evil Counterpart: Despite being Superman's Arch-Enemy, Lex himself can be considered this to Bruce Wayne, both being public billionaires of their own cities and both are the only normals of their supergroups with Luthor being one of the villains.
- Evil Is Petty: It wouldn't be Lex otherwise. In season 3 he tries to have the mayor killed over a new 0.5% tax on evil lairs, while in season 4, under the guise of restoring the ozone layer, he blocks out the sun for the sole purpose of depowering Superman.
- Greater-Scope Villain: For the first season. He only appears in three episodes, but Harley's entire goal is to impress him enough to be able to join his Legion of Doom, and the schism he creates between her and Ivy allows the latter to be captured by Scarecrow.
- Hypocrite: He's the one to publicly announce that the Legion of Doom disproves of Doctor Psycho's misogyny, but he also has a problem with treating women as equals. Even his promotion of Ivy to Legion of Doom CEO is mainly just about PR; he makes it pretty clear that he doesn't give a toss about Ivy's goals or ideas, and most of his compliments are either backhanded or transparently insincere.
- I Just Want to Be You: His obsession with Superman seems to extend wanting to be him. In the Season 4 finale, it's revealed the real goal of his plan to block the sun was just so he could capture Superman, steal his powers, his cape and hair.
- It's All About Me: If Lex isn't the most important person in the room at any given time, he will not be a happy camper. When Ivy upstages him at MalCon he tries to kill everyone in attendance.
- Karma Houdini Warranty: After remaining a unpunished villain for 4 whole seasons, karma finally catches up to Lex in the season 4 finale where Ivy, Harley, and Barbara defeat Lex Luthor together before letting Steppenwolf take him to Apokolips.
- Knight of Cerebus: Not that he doesn't have comedic moments himself, but the moment he introduces himself to Harley is when Harley's relationships start becoming strained, shifting the show more into dramedy territory.
- Manipulative Bastard: This is Lex Luthor after all. When Ivy refuses to join the Legion of Doom, Luthor let Harley join with the apparent intent of driving a wedge between the two of them.
- Mythology Gag: DCAU ethnically ambiguous Lex is back! Though
Word of God confirmed that Lex is actually black in this universe. - No Love for the Wicked: Played for laughs. He sees the act of sex as being too pedestrian, so he always uses a surrogate — one who has a full head of hair and dresses like Superman.
- Pet the Dog:
- He's actually pretty supportive to Harley in her first LOD meeting, even agreeing with her about the over-complicated nature of the Joker's plan and affably explaining how the meetings work.
- He loves his pet dog and treats it like his baby.
- Politically Incorrect Villain: Despite disapproving of Doctor Psycho's misogyny, he displays quite a few sexist tendencies in his own right, as shown in "L.O.D.R.S.V.P.". He doesn't bother to remember the name of the sole female member (Cheetah) of the Legion, and was willing to use Harley's desire to be in the Legion to force Ivy to join. Then there's the fact that he willingly hands Harley over to the Joker, whose mistreatment of her is well-known practically everywhere.
- Race Lift: Lex Luthor was made to be black for this series to better reflect his voice actor. This change makes Lex look more as he appears in Superman: The Animated Series (though he was more Ambiguously Brown in the case of STAS), rather than the fairer skinned version in Young Justice (2010).
- Reused Character Design: He's virtually identical to his DCAU incarnation, at least in looks.
- Slave to PR:
- While his public firing of Dr. Psycho after he insulted women on live television twice looked like an Even Evil Has Standards moments at first, his own sexist behaviour in private hints that it was more about keeping his public image than anything else.
- Taken to comedic extreme with the revelation that a local sex shop is ripping off the Legion's name, and all he can do is roll his eyes and let the matter play out in court since using "evil" methods would bring bad PR.
- Take That!: One of the headlines during the breaking news segment of Wonder Woman and Doctor Psycho's fight is Lex launching a tirade against Superman on Twitter, which is generally a Take That! towards Twitter rants by and towards prominent figures like politicians and celebrities.
- Toxic, Inc.: One of the many divisions of Lexcorp is a company simply called "Planetwide Pavers".
- Viler New Villain: Once Lex Luthor takes over the role of Arc Villain in Season 4, he proves to be far worse than all previous main villains, who all had some sympathetic and/or redeeming qualities. For further explanation: The Big Bad Ensemble of the previous season, consisting of Batman and Poison Ivy, were misguided Anti Villains, while even vile villains like The Joker and Dr. Psycho have some people they cared about (Bethany and her kids for The Joker, Herman for his father Dr. Psycho). By contrast, Lex is never shown to care for anyone but himself, his only redeeming quality is his love for his dog, and carries out a cataclysmic plan that far eclipses all other villains in sheer scope, with far pettier motivations behind them (he wanted to de-power Superman so he can imprison him and steal his powers).
- Villainous Breakdown: After Ivy steals the show at his moon conference, Lex accidentally blows up his own legs and tries jettisoning the entire conference to space.
- Villainous Valor: He gets restrained by Ivy's plants, and doesn't even flinch.
- Villain with Good Publicity: Typical Lex Luthor, however this version is more honest about the fact he's a villain and leads the Legion of Doom, but nobody arrests him.
The Scarecrow
The Scarecrow (Jonathan Crane)
Voiced by: Rahul Kohli
- Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Joker and Scarecrow usually absolutely loathe each other, being very dismissive of one another and often would resort to violence or actively screwing each other over to further their own plans rather than entertain the idea of working together. Here, they're able to work together just fine for the most part.
- Adaptational Nice Guy: Subverted. He is initially depicted as a friendly if a bit gossipy man, in a similar manner to Bane. Then he kidnaps Ivy and starts harvesting her pheromones to use for his fear toxin.
- Beneath the Mask: No pun intended, but while he appears to just be another Legion member who treats his work like a day job, he turns out to be just as much of a loon as his comic counterpart obsessed with spreading fear and destruction all over Gotham.
- Beware the Nice Ones: He's introduced in a casual setting as the Legion's resident gossip and generally is presented as a friendly, personable man. Then it's revealed he's working with the Joker and the Queen of Fables to abduct Ivy and use her pheromones to create a toxin that mutates Gotham's plantlife into giant tree monsters, and he's also complicit in the Joker's plan to blow up the Legion of Doom and take over Gotham for himself.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: He seems like just another Punch-Clock Villain, but it's then revealed that he willingly teamed up with the Joker and the Queen of Fables to destroy Gotham and the Legion of Doom in "Devil's Snare".
- Co-Dragons: He and the Queen of Fables are revealed to be the Joker's by the end of the first season. However, the Joker holds him in far less esteem than he does the Queen of Fables. His lack of creativity — the Joker even sniffs at how "one-note" he is with his fear toxin — and continuing deference to the stronger villain solidifies his position as the Joker's sidekick after his Gotham takeover. He even makes the fatal mistake of impulsively unmasking Batman, just because it's something he thinks Harley would do.
- Creative Sterility: The Joker mocks him for his evil schemes being "one-note" to using his fear toxin.
- Cruel and Unusual Death: A twofer. After Scarecrow unmasks Batman, the Joker melts his face with acid and his skull explodes shortly afterwards.
- Death by Adaptation: He's killed by the Joker.
- Death by Secret Identity: He's one of two people to find out Batman's secret identity but is killed by the Joker for unceremoniously unmasking Batman.
- Didn't Think This Through: Impulsively unmasks Batman without thinking about the Joker's response. The latter berates him, saying that he could have unmasked Batman from the start if he was actually interested in finding out his secret identity. The Scarecrow sadly pays for it with a face full of acid.
- Even Evil Has Standards:
- Subverted. He’s rather uncomfortable with the Joker's poor treatment of Bane. Doesn't stop him from joining him and helping him destroy the Legion of Doom (which Bane was a member of)'s lair.
- Played for Laughs example. While he's a supervillain, he considers the medical insurance industry to be the real villains.
- Evil Brit: Speaks with his voice actor's natural English accent in the show.
- Faux Affably Evil: While holding Ivy prisoner to extract her pheromones, he keeps his gossipy and chatty persona-even when giving a lethal dose of his fear toxin.
- Gossipy Hens: He's shown to be the Legion of Doom's office gossip.
- Mythology Gag:
- Joker's taunts about Scarecrow having nothing but fear gas? Comic Joker did the same.
- This isn’t the first time Scarecrow unmasked Batman before getting screwed over by the Joker.
- Nerd in Evil's Helmet: He and Bane have a bit of this dynamic, like when they disrupt a LOD meeting for a minute to discuss how a sequel to Up might work.
- Not-So-Harmless Villain: After being introduced as another one of the Joker's punching bags, he really shows why his name is Scarecrow when he captures Poison Ivy and extracts her pheromones to enhance his fear toxin. He then spreads the concoction through the earth, creating an army of evil mobile man-eating trees that proceed to rapidly build up a body count.
- Oh, Crap!: Has one moments before the Joker prepares to kill him.
- Only Friend: The only non-Harley villain to treat Bane with any respect.
- Pay Evil unto Evil: The Joker brutally murders him by spraying acid into his face for unmasking Batman. Considering this guy is responsible for killing God knows how many people it's really hard to feel bad for him.
- Unexplained Recovery: He drives the truck containing his fear toxin into Gotham's waters, and all we see left of him was his mask. Yet in the next episode, he's seen fighting Batman no worse for wear. Of course, there's little point dwelling on the subject given what the Joker does to him afterwards.
- Yes-Man: He effectively serves as this to the Joker. This is best seen during the Legion of Doom meeting, where he constantly heaps praises on the Joker's rather convoluted and unnecessary plan while Harley and to a lesser extent Lex Luthor disagree.
- Your Head Asplode: After his head gets melted by the Joker's acid, his body collapses to the floor and causes his skull to shatter into a bloody paste.
Black Manta
Black Manta (David Hyde)
Voiced by: Phil LaMarr
- Arch-Enemy: To Aquaman, to the point where he is annoyed that Aquaman crashing a party held by the Legion of Doom has nothing to do with him.
- Dude, Where's My Respect?: He's never been nominated for a Villy award despite being a highly successful veteran supervillain. He nods approvingly when Catwoman calls this out.
- Scary Black Man: A supervillain who happens to be black. Which Joker did not know until it was spelled out for him.Joker: He's black?!
- Token Minority: Seemingly the only black man in a non-leadership position in the Legion of Doom and is quite sensitive about it.
- Villain of Another Story: Is Aquaman's archenemy, but Aquaman isn't interested in fighting him when he appears.
Calendar Man
Calendar Man (Julian Day)
Voiced by: Alan Tudyk
A supervillain obsessed with committing crimes on holidays and specific dates.- Adaptational Nice Guy: Isn't smug and creepy like his serial killer portrayal in recent works.
- Affably Evil: Despite being a dangerous killer and supervillain who gleefully participates in the Arkham riot, Calendar Man is nothing less than polite and pleasant when interacting with his fellow inmates. Furthermore, he has a wife and son who, despite his neglectful tendencies, seem to be close enough to him to not only visit him, but bring him gifts.
- Bald of Evil: Known for his shaved head covered in number tattoos.
- Composite Character: His physical appearance is based on his modern incarnation established in The Long Halloween, but he wears the costume of his Silver Age incarnation.
- Disappeared Dad: He's not involved enough in his son's life to remember his birthday.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Despite not being very involved in their lives, his wife and son do seem to care for him.
- Fat Bastard: He's an obese villain.
- Irony: He's renowned for keeping dates yet he can't remember his own son’s birthday.
- Ludicrous Precision: Due to his obsession with dates, he can remember exactly how long Harley has been in Arkham with stunning accuracy (but, again, can't remember his son's birthday).
- Tattooed Crook: He has the abbreviations for months of the year tattooed around his forehead.
Man-Bat
Man-Bat (Kirk Langstrom)
Voiced by: Uncredited
A scientist who developed a serum that transformed him into a bat-creature.- Adaptational Intelligence: Normally, Langstrom's Man-Bat form is animalistic or even mindless. This version retains his human intellect as Man-Bat.
- Adaptational Nice Guy: He's still a supervillain, but he acts like a normal person despite being a giant bat and he tries his best to defend Harley and Ivy - who most other supervillains have turned on by this point - during their trial in Two-Face's Kangaroo Court despite his vocal limitations.
- Adaptational Villainy: Most portrayals of the character have Kirk Langstrom as a well-meaning Mad Scientist whose bat-hybrid form is a Superpowered Evil Side. Whilst he is Man-Bat he is usually completely monstrous and animalistic, however, this version appears to have retained his intelligence and still willingly works with the Legion of Doom.
- Bat People: He is a mutant bat.
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Subverted. He'd actually be a competent lawyer if only anyone could understand a word he was saying.
- Fun with Subtitles: Because he can only communicate in screeches, subtitles are used so the audience can understand what he's saying even while the other characters can't.
- Took a Level in Jerkass: He went from defending Harley and Ivy to being a He-Man Woman Hater who takes part in bullying Ivy over her being the new CEO of the Legion of Doom.
- The Unintelligible: Can only communicate in bat screams.
- Your Mom: His acceptance speech at the 83rd Annual Villy Awards apparently involved something about everyone's mother having chlamydia.
Gorilla Grodd
Gorilla Grodd
Voiced by: Diedrich Bader
A telepathic gorilla who's primarily an enemy of the Flash.
- Adaptational Dumbass: This version of Grodd is less a genius mastermind and more of a dumb Fratbro in a gorilla's body.
- The Brute: He's twice the size of a normal gorilla and towers over every other member of the Legion of Doom.
- He-Man Woman Hater: Has a really dim view of Ivy as the new CEO, and his plan boils down to trapping a bunch of women to go out with him.
- Killer Gorilla: Emphasis on the gorilla part of his personality.
Metallo
Metallo (John Corben)
Voiced by: Jim Rash
A cyborg with a kryptonite heart that is a member of Superman's rogues gallery.- He-Man Woman Hater: He opposes Ivy's promotion to CEO of the Legion of Doom, openly speculating that Ivy slept with Lex to get the job.
- Machine Monotone: Naturally, given that he's practically all robot. His tone never changes no matter how upset he gets.
Snowflame
Snowflame
Voiced by: James Adomian
A Colombian supervillain who's powered by cocaine.- Addiction-Powered: Cocaine gives him superpowers. There's a reason he's the posterchild for this trope.
- Domino Mask: He wears a white mask that covers the area around his eyes.
- Elemental Hair Colors: His white hair matches his white, cocaine-fueled fire.
- He-Man Woman Hater: He's the most outspoken in opposition of Ivy being made the new CEO of the Legion of Doom, commenting that Lex has given into the "woke mob".
- Playing with Fire: He produces and controls white flames, powered by cocaine.
- Technicolor Fire: His fire burns white, which reflects the source of his power.
- White Hair, Black Heart: Has snow white hair and is a misogynistic coke fiend.
Volcana
Volcana (Claire Selton)
Voiced by: Jeannie Tirado
A fire-based villainess who is a member of Superman's rogues gallery and one of Poison Ivy's mentees, the Natural Disasters.- Adaptation Personality Change: In Superman: The Animated Series, she was a confident, vivacious Anti-Hero. Here, she's a Nervous Wreck who's eager to please her boss.
- Breath Weapon: She vomits molten lava at one point.
- Cleavage Window: Her outfit has a window exposing her cleavage.
- Composite Character: Her appearance comes from Superman: The Animated Series while her lava breath (umm...vomit) is similar to that of a one shot Apokalips warrior named Volcana who appeared in Action Comics #775.
- Elemental Hair Colors: She's a redheaded villainess with fire/lava superpowers.
- Masculine, Feminine, Androgyne Trio: Volcana is the most traditionally feminine of the trio formed by Poison Ivy's mentees.
- Perky Female Minion: After Ivy becomes the CEO of the Legion of Doom, Volcana is her bubbly, if nervous and clumsy, minion who is enthusiastic to do anything for her.
- Playing with Fire: She has fire based powers.
- Sensual Spandex: She wears a skintight bodysuit.
- Stress Vomit: When Ivy gives her a seat at the main table, she gets so nervous she accidentally vomits lava onto the table.
Terra
Terra (Atlee)
Voiced by: Kerry Knuppe
An earth-based villainess and one of Poison Ivy's mentees, the Natural Disasters.- Adaptational Curves: She's much taller and bulkier than in any other adaptation.
- Adaptational Villainy: An interesting case in which while Terra was a bad guy, it's the first Terra that was a villain. The third (Atlee) was more heroic while this version is a villain.
- Amazonian Beauty: She's a tall, burly and quite attractive warrior woman.
- Braids of Action: She's an Amazon-like villainess with two braids on the sides of her head.
- The Brute: She's the largest, toughest and bulkiest member of the Natural Disasters.
- Dishing Out Dirt: She has the power to control earth.
- Elemental Eye Colors: She has brown eyes to match her earth superpowers.
- Elemental Personalities: She's tough, strong and firm, like the earth she can control.
- Marionette Master: Using her earth powers, she controls a giant statue of Poison Ivy to fight a giant formed by a pissed PR team.
- Masculine, Feminine, Androgyne Trio: Terra is the masculine member of Poison Ivy's mentees, being taller and more muscular than the other two members.
- Race Lift: She has darker skin than other incarnations of Terra.
- Tomboyish Voice: She looks and acts like an Amazon warrior, with a low voice that suits her perfectly.
- You Don't Look Like You: Race Lift aside, this Terra doesn't look anything like the Atlee version who was more slender and wore spandex. Meanwhile, this version is more muscular while wearing a outfit that wouldn't be too far off from a Amazon warrior.
Tefé Holland
Tefé Holland
Voiced by: Vico Ortiz
The child of Swamp Thing and one of Poison Ivy's mentees, the Natural Disasters.- Adaptational Gender Identity: This incarnation of Tefé is non-binary instead of female.
- The Beastmaster: They can tap into the Red, the cosmic force that connects all animal life, and use it to control animals. They seem to have a particular penchant for sharks.
- Masculine, Feminine, Androgyne Trio: Tefé is the androgyne member of Poison Ivy's mentees, being non-binary with an androgynous appearance.
- Meditation Powerup: Tefé goes into a meditation position when tapping into the Red to control animals.
- Mystical White Hair: They're white-haired and have mystical powers that allow mind control over animals and humans.
- Old Shame: Tefé mentions they would like to use a time machine to tell their younger self that snake eye contacts are more weird than intimidating.
- Queer Establishing Moment: They are first indicated to be non-binary when they respond to Gordon refering to them, along with Volcana and Terra, as "women" by indignantly pointing out to him that they're not all women.
- People Puppets: The Red allows Tefé to control other human beings as well as animals.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Accessing the Red causes Tefé's eyes to glow red. The animals they control also gain red eyes.
