Characters / Infinity Crisis DC Earths

Go To

A list of the Earths from Infinity Crisis that focus on variations of the DC Universe.

    open/close all folders 

Earth-Prime0

A variant of the DC Universe from the comics.

  • Ambiguous Situation: Its entire status. First, in Meet JB, the titular Author Avatar states that he can't find this Earth despite having tried to but, since the author notes at the end state that the other DC Earths depend on the existence of this one and they're all, as far as one is concerned, still here, it has a chance of still being around. Second, the earlier introduction of Triumph in Double Dragon, who was also implied to come from the mainstream DCU before being revealed as a former citizen of Earth-N52, raises the question of what time period in the DCU' history this Earth is based on.

Earth-1

Home to characters from the Arrowverse as well as Black Lightning (2018), Lucifer (2016), and Kung Fu (2021) with elements of Ultimate Marvel and Static Shock.

    Team Arrow 

Oliver Queen/Green Arrow

  • Friendly Rivalry: Adopts one with Clint Barton over which of them is the better archer; culminates in a contest where they essentially draw.
  • Heroic Safe Mode: Enters into this after seeing Felicity and Diggle disintegrated right before his eyes.
  • The Leader: Steve Rogers swiftly identifies Oliver as the leader of the other heroes when the two teams first meet.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Oliver has this moment when he realises that Felicity was replaced by a Skrull years ago and he never noticed the difference.
  • You Are Better Than You Think You Are: Diggle, Felicity, and Laurel all assure him that he shouldn't blame himself for not realising that the Skrulls had replaced Felicity.

John Diggle/Spartan

  • Alternate Self: He's one to Earth-51 John Stewart, otherwise known as Green Lantern. Badassery seems to be a multiversal constant for him.
  • Bring It: His reaction when his cosmic cop trainer declares he won't go easy on him is basically "do your worse".
  • Emerald Power: As befits a Green Lantern.
  • Face Death with Dignity: In Salvation Run, Diggle's ability to do this when faced with a mass of Skrulls about to kill him contributes to him being chosen as a Green Lantern.
  • Put on a Bus: Diggle is one of the casualties of the Snap.
  • Took a Level in Badass: In Salvation Run, Diggle becomes the new Green Lantern for his sector.
  • You Are Better Than You Think You Are: Gives this speech to Oliver in Salvation Run after Oliver's kicking himself for not realising that Felicity and Laurel were replaced.

Felicity Smoak

  • Expository Hairstyle Change: During her captivity by Skrulls, Felicity's blonde hair reverted to its natural black color. Following her rescue, she keeps to it, noting that when she tried to dye it back blonde, "I saw Lyja staring back at me."
  • Jerkass Realization:
    • Being "dusted" made Felicity/Lyja face up to how she'd been letting her ego get the better of her, undercutting Oliver and "being a rampaging bitch." She's cut back on the behavior, such as letting Oliver know that killing Diaz didn't make him any less of a hero and being more supportive of him.
    • Later after Felicity is rescued and Lyja has been exposed, she expresses regret for Lyja's darker actions, acknowledging that she would have done what Lyja did if she'd been there.
  • Put on a Bus: In the original fic, Felicity is one of the casualties of the Snap.
  • The Reveal: Felicity has been a Skrull imposter named Lyja since right before Oliver's confrontation with Ra's.
  • Shipping Torpedo: After being rescued, Felicity assures Oliver she's not going to hold him to the marriage to Lyja. She also makes it clear she's known all along Oliver loves Laurel, not her and has long let go of any jealousy and encourages Oliver to go after Laurel.

Roy Harper/Arsenal

Thea Queen/Speedy

  • The Bus Came Back: Despite being officially 'retired' from Speedy at this point, Thea returns to the role and Star City to help investigate the Dusting, and later accompanies the team to the Avengers' world to help stop Thanos.

Laurel Lance/Black Canary II

  • Spared by the Adaptation: Salvation Run reveals that Laurel was captured by the Skrulls before her death in the confrontation with Darhk, with the result that she is still alive, albeit in Skrull captivity.
  • Took a Level in Badass: In Salvation Run, Laurel has acquired the Canary Cry herself due to the Skrulls' experiments.

Dinah Drake/Black Canary III

  • Put on a Bus: Dinah is one of the casualties of the Snap.
    • In Salvation Run, Dinah takes a savage cut across her throat by a Skrull. While she survives, it's indicated she may have lost her ability for the Canary Cry and taking time away to recover. The talk between the Doctor and Mia indicates Dinah was always meant to do more as cop than a Canary.

Curtis Holt/Mr. Terrific

Mia Queen

  • Related in the Adaptation: In Salvation Run, Mia is revealed to be the daughter of Laurel Lance rather than Felicity Smoak.
  • Ship Tease: Suggested at, as she notes that Nora Allen just isn't her type.

    Team Flash 

Barry Allen/The Flash

  • Crusading Widower: Being forced to watch Iris being Dusted left him desperate to fix things.
  • Doppelgänger Gets Same Sentiment: After Bart Allen mentions fighting a "Black Flash" Barry gets silently concerned. It is unknown what (if any) relationship Earth-2 Hunter Zolomon has with the Smallville Black Flash.
  • Drama-Preserving Handicap: While on Earth-199999, Barry's access to the Speed Force is slightly weakened to prevent time travel being a viable option, but this is downplayed as Barry's own experience leads him to conclude that using time travel to solve their problems would likely just create new ones.
  • Other Me Annoys Me: A minor example in Legacy of Lightning; He and Team Flash disagree with Barry of Earth-51 request to deal with his Reverse-Flash on his own, but respect his right to handle his problems his way.

Cisco Ramon/Vibe

Caitlin Snow/Killer Frost

  • An Ice Person: Caitlin's powers are restored, but she doesn't regain the Killer Frost persona.

Wally West/Kid Flash

Harry Wells

Iris West-Allen

  • Put on a Bus: Iris is one of the casualties of the Snap. Infinity Crisis: The Inhumans reveals that she is one of the trillions of souls inside the Soul Stone, where she meets Ozel Ozlazur of Earth-199999 and regales the young Inhuman with tales of her husband's adventures as the Flash.

Joe West

  • But for Me, It Was Tuesday: It's still unusual, but Joe wonders what it says about their lives that Iris is so nonchalant at meeting an alternate version of Barry who doesn't even look like the Barry Allen she married.
  • Put on a Bus: Joe is one of the casualties of the Snap.

Ralph Dibny/Elongated Man

  • Put on a Bus: At the time of the Snap, not only was Ralph currently being used as the host body for the Thinker, but he was also one of those Dusted; the team are later able to restore him to control of his body in Legacy of Lightning.

Nora West-Allen/XS

  • Ship Tease: Has elements of this with Mia Queen, with Mia just noting in turn that Nora isn't her type.

    The Legends of Tomorrow 

In General

  • Bar Brawl: Of course they find a way to do this, starting a brawl with the Guardians in the mess hall of The Orville.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The Guardians basically call the Legends out on this, observing that, for all their faults, the Guardians have never caused the problem that they have to solve, where the Legends seem to deal with that all the time.
  • Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: One of the most epic around.
  • Too Spicy for Yog-Sothoth: Loki thinks they're nothing but doofuses. Loki.

Gideon

  • Benevolent A.I.: Defines herself by her role assisting the Legends.
  • Composite Character: Basically becomes this after Chapter 8 of Tomorrow's Guardians, when Ultron steals her from the Waverider with the intention of turning her into his queen, moving her into a new body and intending to rename her "Alkhema".

Sara Lance/Black Canary I/White Canary

  • Action Girl: Naturally.
  • Amazon Chaser: Can't help feeling an attraction to Jessica Jones who politely (for her) turns her down. She also stares at Wonder Woman when she shows up.
  • Really Gets Around: The opening meeting between the Arrowverse crew and the Avengers has Alex thrown to realize Sara has slept with her, Ava, Oliver, Nyssa and John Constantine.

Ray Palmer/The Atom

  • Birds of a Feather: Joins Ant-Man and the Wasp in 'infiltrating' the Soul Stone.
  • Gadgeteer Genius: During Tomorrow's Guardians, he assists Isaac and other scientists in coming up with a means of attacking the Kaylon to force them to withdraw.

Mick Rory/Heat Wave

  • Amazon Chaser: Is quite taken with Jessica Jones while watching her fight off a bunch of mooks.
  • Hidden Depths: Surprises the gang by talking about the logistics of how alternate timelines and possible futures work, brushing it off as data gained when he was working for the Time Masters.
  • Odd Friendship: With Rocket.
  • Ship Tease: Mick is notably impressed by Jessica Jones, to the point that they have sex during the heroes' victory party.

Len Snart/Captain Cold

  • Actor Allusion: Sara snaps that the team is "tired of hearing [his] Prison Break stories!", a reference to them sharing the same actor.
  • Back from the Dead: It turns out he survived his seeming death and was thrust into the future of The Orville timeline.
  • Other Me Annoys Me: Does a terrific Spit Take when Black Siren says his counterpart on her Earth is the Commissioner of the Central City Police Department.

John Constantine

  • Closest Thing We Got: While Constantine states that he won't become the new Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One and Loki concede that he's their best option to pass on messages to the other heroes.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: He notes to Doctor Claire Finn that if he's suggesting someone is worth forgiving (specifically Isaac) that person must genuinely deserve forgiveness.

Nate Heywood/Steel

  • But for Me, It Was Tuesday: Nate sums up to Ray the reaction of the Legends to meeting Loki in his ghost form.
    Nate: This is when you know you've been at this job for too long. We're talking to the ghost of a Norse god and I'm not even surprised by it anymore.
  • Seen It All: Is surprised that he's no longer surprised by the things he sees as a superhero.

Zari Tomaz

  • Put on a Bus: More like 'left on the bus'; Zari is forced to remain outside of time on the Waverider while the rest of the Legends return to help their allies due to her originating from the future, as they are concerned that the Snap may have killed at least one of her ancestors and thus erased her from history.

Charlie

  • Made of Iron: While her ability to actually shapeshift is presumably still lost, she can alter her density so that she can survive on high-gravity worlds like Xeleya.
  • Older Than They Look: Mentions at one point that she was present when Hannibal crossed the Alps.

    Freeland 

Jefferson Pierce/Black Lightning

  • Action Dad: As in canon, he's a father of two daughters and a superhero of his own.
  • Badass Teacher: By day, he's a high school teacher. By night, he's a superhero with two new sidekicks he's begun mentoring.
  • Electric Black Guy: The OG example.
  • The Mentor: After realizing that Virgil and Miles are bent on being superheroes, he decides to teach them how to be good and effective ones.
  • Papa Wolf: He's quite touchy regarding his daughters or newfound sidekicks.
  • Shut Up, Hannibal!: His answer to Red Skull calling him a "filthy animal" is affirming that black people don't care for world domination, they just want to be left in peace but racist freaks refuse to allow this. Oh and he's also beating the living hell out of the Nazi during it all.
  • This Is Reality: Black Lightning tells Miles and Virgil that "this is not a YA novel" where teenagers always come out on top no matter how dangerous things are.

Anissa Pierce/Thunder

Virgil Hawkins/Static

  • Electric Black Guy: The most famous example after Black Lightning.
  • How Do I Shot Web?: In his own words, "Do I look like I know what I'm doing?".
  • Magnetism Manipulation: Static can generate electricity from his body and administer it in a range of different attacks and uses. He can charge devices, drain devices and project his electricity in a variety of controlled ways.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: Virgil is rather aggressive and bluntly spoken, borderline insulting towards authority figures, contrasting with Miles.

Miles Morales/Spider-Man

  • Don't Tell Mama: He outright begs Black Lightning to not inform his dad of his moonlighting as a vigilante.
  • Nom de Mom: His father is Jefferson Davis.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: Miles tends towards nervosity and is generally more polite than Virgil.
  • Transplant: He's the first Marvel character native to a DC Earth in the series. Arguably also applies to his abilities as well, as he's the only superhero in Freeland whose powers aren't primarily focused on wielding electrical energy.
  • Traumatic Superpower Awakening: He first was Dusted by a genocidal galactic tyrant and had to be resurrected, granting him abilities he didn't activate before he almost was the victim of a car crash. Yeowch.

Officer Jefferson Davis

  • Abuse Mistake: Pierce warns him about Miles showing up with bruises and how it could turn public opinion against Davis, which horrifies the poor man.
  • One-Steve Limit: Averted, since he has the same given name as Black Lightning. They mutually call each other "Other Jeff".

    Gotham 

Katherine "Kate" Kane/Batwoman

Bruce Wayne/Batman

  • The Bus Came Back: The Snap and its undoing prompt Bruce Wayne to return to Gotham.
  • Refuge in Audacity: As part of his public return, Bruce announces that he is Batman's financial backer, essentially hiding in plain sight; as Luke Fox observes, anyone trying to identify Batman would start by working out who could afford his equipment, but this way Bruce acknowledges that detail while creating the illusion someone else actually wears the cowl.
  • Stealth Hi/Bye: But of course. His cousin is annoyed when he pulls this on her.

Luke Fox

    Mystery Inc. 

In General:

  • Weirdness Magnet: They just tend to run into weirdos dressing up in masks with crazy schemes wherever they go, and if anything it's gotten worse after the Snap. They even decide to rent a cabin around Halloween just to get away from it a bit.

Fred Jones

  • Race Lift: This version of Fred Jones is 1/4 Puerto Rican.

Velma Dinkley

  • Adaptational Sexuality: She's bisexual here.
  • Asian and Nerdy: She's half-Japanese and the bookworm of the group.
  • Big Beautiful Woman: She's noted to be a bit plumper than Daphne and is still considered very attractive.
  • Polyamory: She is dating Daphne and they're both fine having relations with other people.
  • Race Lift: This version of Velma is Eurasian, particularly Scottish and Japanese.

Daphne Blake

  • Adaptational Sexuality: She's bisexual here.
  • Polyamory: She is dating Velma and they're both fine having relations with other people.
  • Race Lift: This version of Daphne is white, African-American, and Native American.

Norville "Shaggy" Rogers

  • Big Eater: Wouldn't be Shaggy without a big appetite.
  • Immigrant Parents: His parents migrated to the United States and changed their names.
  • Race Lift: This version of Shaggy is Lebanese, a likely nod to late voice actor/DJ Casey Kasem, who was his first voice actor.

Scooby-Doo

    Time Bureau 

Ava Sharpe

  • Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Ava contacts the Legends to give them additional information on the situation, but she is not shown accompanying them to meet the Avengers (although she may have simply decided that it was more important for her to assist the Time Bureau in their home universe).

Gary Green

  • I Thought Everyone Could Do That: Gary tells the Legends about Laurel Lance 'returning from the dead' and only realises after he brings it up that they didn't know about that yet.
  • Spot the Impostor: The Guardians all swiftly identify Gary as an alien, as Gamora and Nebula can see through his cloak and Mantis observes that his emotions are too strong as though he's trying too hard to project them.
  • You Are Better Than You Think You Are: Appears to receive this kind of speech from Groot based on his reactions.

    Supervillains 

Eobard Thawne/Reverse Flash

Malcolm Merlyn/Dark Archer

Ricardo Diaz

  • Dies Differently in Adaptation: The specific details aren't provided, but Oliver killed Diaz after the Snap is undone because his allies expressed a superior understanding of Oliver's motives to accept that his willingness to kill wasn't always a bad thing.

Clifford DeVoe/The Thinker

Holocaust

Ebon

Vandal Savage

  • Back for the Dead: In All Kinds of Legends, the Legends face a past version of Savage who has been displaced to Earth-18923, only for him to be temporarily killed by a shot to the head from Tom Sawyer.
  • Boom, Headshot!: Is shot in the head by Tom Sawyer while he's trying to shoot the League and the Legends with a machine-gun.

Beth "Alice" Kane

  • Mistaken for Special Guest: The best description for how she ended up being abducted by the Harley Quinns; they saw the insane blonde running around this version of Gotham and assumed she was another version of themselves.
  • Only Sane Man: Reflects on how it feels she's actually the sane one when the three Harley Quinns talk.

    Other 

Slade Wilson/Deathstroke

  • Awesome Aussie: He's surprised to learn Earth-51 Deathstroke isn't one, but a U.S. Army veteran instead.
  • Other Me Annoys Me: He confronts his Earth-51 counterpart, the two quickly get on each other's nerves, Earth-51 Slade dismissing his counterpart as unable to understand his full potential and Slade angry that his other self is only in the game for the money without any interest in something more despite them both having lost their families.

Helena Bertinelli/Huntress

  • The Bus Came Back: Cuts a deal to work for Argus in order to be freed from prison.
  • Vengeance Feels Empty: After she's Dusted, admits how she realized seeking revenge on her father didn't heal her broken spirit and wants a true purpose in life.

Nyssa al Ghul

  • Ship Tease: She and Alex banter about their past with Sara while working out, and Sara, Laurel/Siren and Kara later see the two of them having sex.

Courtney Whitmore/Stargirl/Merlin

Lucifer Morningstar

  • Cassandra Truth: He's completely up front on how he's the Devil come to Earth and no one believes him.
  • Deadpan Snarker: As ever.
    Amenadiel: You know what's happened.
    Lucifer: No, brother, I've spent the last seven hours with my fingers stuck in my ears humming Coldplay songs.
  • Flaming Devil: Openly leers at Thea Queen and when her boyfriend Roy Harper takes umbrage, Lucifer casually invites him for a little threesome.
  • Horrifying the Horror: The Devil himself was utterly freaked by the Snap.
  • Humans Are Bastards: Explicitly states this when talking with Melinda May in Salvation Run that every act of evil committed by humanity is on them rather than him.
  • Other Me Annoys Me: Basically ignored; Chloe notes that she shouldn't be surprised that Lucifer has slept with his counterpart in a parallel universe.
  • Talking Down the Suicidal: He had to dissuade officer Chloe Decker to not eat her gun after losing her daughter to the Snap.
  • This Is Unforgivable!: Learning that the mystical event that took Trixie and Maze away was deliberately caused put the Devil in a punishing mood.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: Notes that he considers himself having done this compared to his counterpart, as where she believes in the "evils" of free will he feels that he's come to recognise the fun side of everyone being different.
  • You Called Me "X"; It Must Be Serious: The Snap shocked him so much that he doesn't refer to Dan — one of the victims — by the more disparaging "Detective Douche".

Amenadiel

Chloe Decker

  • Driven to Suicide: Lucifer had to talk fast to stop her from eating her gun after the Snap took her daughter right in front of her.
  • I Owe You My Life: She comes to Lux because she wanted to thank Lucifer for stopping her suicide attempt, since the Snap actually was reversible.
  • Outliving One's Offspring: A temporary state caused by the Decimation. She really didn't take it well.
  • Skeptic No Longer: After half the world's population vanished into dust and reappeared, she's much more inclined to believe Lucifer's claims to demonhood.

Sinestro

  • Ambiguous Situation: It's unsure yet whether this is before his fall to villainy or if, perhaps, Sinestro is actually a good guy in this universe.
  • Training from Hell: Promises to invoke this on Diggle.

The Pighead

  • Alternate Self: To the Prime version of Pighead.
  • Cool Old Guy: His appearances in DEATHFAME, so far, state that he is pretty elderly but he also seems dedicated to help the Multiverse, which makes him this trope.
  • I Need a Freaking Drink: A variant. At the end of his mail related to the List, he admits that he will need to take some tranquilizers because he would like to deal with anything else than the names who are here.
  • The Leader: Since he's, so far, the only member of the Council of Pigheads being shown and that he's far from passive, he's seemingly this.

Zatanna / Alex Russo

  • Alternate Self: Subverted. Despite being considered the Earth-1 version of Zatanna, she's actually from another Earth and took the place after having been sent here.
  • Call-Back: The means she pulled an Heroic Sacrifice against the Daleks and got transported to another Earth because of that bring in mind how Ben Tennyson sacrificed himself to prevent the Skrulls from entering Earth-192, at the cost of being forgotten by everyone, and reappeared on Earth-199596.
  • Composite Character: She's seemingly Zatanna and has her powers and job as a stage magician, but is Alex Russo who took on another identity.
  • Cosmic Retcon: She used the Stone of Dreams (with some help from the Ghost) to undo the original invasion of her world by the Daleks and turn any of them entering her world into a stereotypical sitcom villain. It also caused her to be forgotten by everyone on her homeworld and to be sent to Earth-1.
  • Sole Survivor: When the Daleks invaded her world, she ended up as this. Then, one of the Monks showed up and pointed her towards the Stone of Dreams, which allowed Alex to subvert this big time.
  • Un-person: Her spell to save her world means everyone, including her own family, forgets Alex Russo ever existed.

Earth-2

Incorporates elements of the Earth-2 seen in The Flash with the characters of Stargirl (2020), Vixen (which was previously canon to Earth 1 before the Season 3 finale of Legends of Tomorrow), a variation of Spider-Man: India (2004), and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.
    Superheroes 

Dinah Laurel Lance/Black Siren

  • The Atoner: She's driven to make up for her criminal past by helping the Legends.
  • Chekhov's Gun: In Tomorrow's Guardians, during the big Bar Brawl, Black Siren is tempted to unleash her sonic cry but thinks better of it for fear it can shatter the windows on the ship. Later, when the Kaylon invade the ship, Siren does exactly that to suck several of them into space.
  • Surrounded by Idiots: Pretty much her entire attitude when she joins the Legends. It's hard to blame her.

Yolanda Mortez/Wildcat II

Beth Chapel/Doctor Mid-Nite II

Rick Tyer/Hourman II

    The DEO 

Kara Zor-El/Kara Danvers/Supergirl

  • Bad Liar: According to Cat.
  • Brain Bleach: Basically wishes for this when she finds Alex and Astra in bed, even before Lena points out that it's basically her sister and her mother's double becoming involved.
  • Brought Down to Normal: National Stride sees Kara shot with a bullet of gold kryptonite by an agent of the Ultra-Humanite. While the power sapping of the bullet won't be permanent, her powers will be erratic for potentially months, ranging from her being completely human in terms of her physical abilities to only some of her powers being active at any one time.
  • Clark Kenting: A running gag with her is people from the Avengers' Earth asking how she gets away with just glasses as part of her civilian disguise. It doesn't fool Cat though.
  • The Cutie: Kara is optimistic, cheerful, and bubbly, and easily endears most people to her.
  • Flying Brick: Courtesy of being a Kryptonian under a yellow sun, she is basically a physical god.
  • Heroic BSoD: The Snap briefly throws her into a catatonic state... in which she can still hear people screaming in anguish and horror.
  • Ignorance Is Bliss: Kara adopts this mindset after the first Snap regarding her cousin's fate, as Superman was on a mission in deep space when the Gauntlet was activated. Thus, she spends the events of Crisis telling herself that he's busy helping out elsewhere rather than assume that he's been dusted as well.

Alex Danvers

  • Adaptational Relationship Overhaul: She and Astra were enemies in canon to the extent that Alex killed Astra, but once Astra comes back from the dead the two become lovers.
  • Ship Tease: She and Nyssa end up bonding over their mutual past with Sara and have a one-night stand. Naturally, Kara finds it hilarious.
  • Took a Level in Badass: Not that she wasn't badass before but in Distant Cousins, she gets a special suit from Pepper to become Sentinel.
  • Working with the Ex: Played with as she and Sara do their best to stay professional after their one-night stand.

J'onn J'onnz/Hank Henkshaw/Martian Manhunter

  • Put on a Bus: J'onn isn't involved in the main events of Infinity Crisis. It's explained that he stayed on Earth-38 to coordinate the response to the Dusting hitting Earth-38.

Winn Schott

  • The Glomp: His knee-jerk reaction after being unsnapped is hugging the crap out of J'onn. Due to the circumstances, the Martian doesn't protest.
  • Put on a Bus: Winn is one of the victims of the Snap.

Lucy Lane

  • The Bus Came Back: Following the Snap, Lucy decides to return to National City to assist the DEO as she feels that's the best place for her to make a true difference.

Brainiac-5 (Brainy)

  • Magic Versus Science: Brainiac is repeatedly unable to comprehend Merlin's magic, insisting that it must be science he just hasn't understood yet even after Merlin turns him into a rabbit as a demonstration.

    Red, White, and Blue 

In General

  • Badass Normal: None of them have powers, but that doesn't stop them from stepping in during an attempt on Supergirl's life.
  • Fish out of Temporal Water: They're three men from the 1940s who were somehow flung forward into contemporary times by unknown means.
  • Named by the Adaptation: In the comics, none of their given names were known, but they're each given them here.

Archibald "Red" Dugan

Sylvanus "Whitey" Smith

Uriah "Blooey" Blue

    Supervillains 

General Zod

Lex Luthor

  • Arc Villain: Of Distant Cousins.
  • Card-Carrying Villain: Dude quotes Hitler unironically. And he still wonders why people hates him.
  • Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: As always, Lex is the poster boy for this.
    • He gloats to Lena on Kara being Supergirl... only to find Lena knew and doesn't mind about the secret. He's also jarred Cat knows but won't expose Kara as she knows Supergirl's identity is more important than Cat breaking a huge scoop.
    • He thinks Superman somehow caused the Dusting so he could make himself look better by "fixing" it as that's just what Lex would do.
    • He continues to believe Superman and Supergirl's actions are designed to "show their superiority" over humans rather than helping the world.
    • He relates how his plans to turn Ben Lockwood into Agent Liberty were ruined when, after he and his wife were returned from being dusted, Lockwood found a Thanagarian saved his son and realized not all aliens were horrible. Lex is disappointed in how Lockwood is allowing that to change his entire viewpoint on aliens.
    • The biggest of all: Lex knows Kara is Supergirl, knows Supergirl is Superman's cousin, knows Kara is Clark Kent's cousin... yet doesn't even consider how this means Clark and Superman are the same person. As Lena says, Lex would never accept that someone of Superman's power would pose as a regular human rather than use his powers to rule.
  • Evil Counterpart: When Black Widow asks how bad Lex is, Kara compares him to "Tony Stark without the moral compass, far more murderous and with his showboating replaced by xenophobia".
  • Impostor Forgot One Detail: He flawlessly pretended to be Maxwell Lord, only for Brainy to point his image inducer couldn't change his shadow.
  • It's All About Me: As far as Lex Luthor is concerned, even the fact that General Zod thought it would be a bad idea won't stop him unleashing Doomsday on the world.
  • A Nazi by Any Other Name: Lex actually quotes Hitler when discussing his anti-alien philosophy, observing "I don't see why men shouldn't be as cruel as nature", but claims that he's not Hitler because he doesn't consider it 'genocide' to kill aliens as he says "Genocide only counts if it's people who deserve to live".
  • "Not So Different" Remark: Astra bluntly informs him that he and Zod have a lot in common, as both are "ready to wipe out anyone who doesn't match [their] views of what the world should be".
  • Villain Team-Up: Joins the Council of Luthors at the end of Distant Cousins.

Eve Tessmacher

  • Beleaguered Assistant: Was this to Cat Grant. She also has shades of this with Lex, being visibly fed up with his utter inability to see beyond Clark Kenting.
  • The Dog Was the Mastermind: She's actually a Skrull who's been playing Luthor all along.
  • Only Sane Man: Up to a point; she might be working with Lex Luthor, but she has managed to recognise that Superman and Clark Kent are the same person when Lex is continually incapable of doing the same.

General Astra

  • Adaptational Relationship Overhaul: She and Alex Danvers were enemies in canon to the extent that Alex killed her, but once Astra comes back from the dead the two become lovers.
  • Back from the Dead: Lex Luthor brings her back from the dead as part of his plan.
  • Heel Realization: After coming back from the dead, Astra admits that she has re-evaluated her old views, and now concedes that Myriad was too extreme a response.

Siobhan Smythe/Silver Banshee

Doomsday

  • The Dreaded: Even General Zod was terrified at the mere thought of facing this monster.
  • Evil Counterpart: After hearing the tale of Doomsday's creation, Pepper compares Doomsday to the idea of trying to make the Hulk an even greater monster.
  • Super-Strength: Supergirl considers his hits even harder than Thanos' or Astra's.

Ultra-Humanite

  • Fangs Are Evil: His teeth are filed down into sharp fangs.
  • Manipulative Bastard: Is behind Peter Parker's interest in reptilian DNA with the goal of turning Peter into a new body for himself, while making sure Peter thinks that's all his own idea.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: They're described as being as red as freshly split blood.

Martin Li

Basil Elks/Basilisk

  • Bit Part Bad Guy: He's fought by Gwen in What Could've Been, but it's far from the main focus.

Leopard

    Midtown High 
  • Transplant: Basically all of the students presented here so far are Marvel characters existing on a DC Earth

Gwen Stacy/Ghost Spider

  • Jerkass Realization: Has one about the way she's treated Peter Parker for the last few years after gaining her powers.

Peter Parker

  • Brought Down to Normal: This version of Peter is introduced as basically Gwen Stacy/Ghost-Spider's scientific advisor rather than a hero himself.
  • In Spite of a Nail: While Peter is shown to have a happier life after his accident, he is also shown studying a paper on lizard DNA written by Doctor Connors, foreshadowing his fate in the comics.
  • No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: He saves a little girl from collateral damage of Doomsday's rampage and ends up getting paralyzed when he's hit by rubble.
  • Spared by the Adaptation: His death is usually a major part of Spider Gwen's origin story but here, while he does become paralyzed he's still alive by the time Gwen become a superhero.
  • Unwitting Pawn: Peter is unaware that his interest in lizard DNA as a means to treat his condition is being manipulated by the Ultra-Humanite.

Mary Jane Watson

  • Secret-Keeper: Becomes this upon learning of Gwen being Ghost Spider.

Harry Osborn

Flash Thompson

  • Bully Turned Buddy: When Peter returns to school after his injury, Flash declares that anyone picking on Peter in the future will have to answer to him, affirming that as far as he's concerned Peter is a true hero.

Jason Ionello

Joey Deseronto

  • Age Lift: On top of living to reach his teens, he's a contemporary of Gwen, Peter, and MJ.
  • Spared by the Adaptation: In the comics, Joey is a Posthumous Character who died as a child in the crossfire of a superhero battle, while here he's alive and has managed to avoid such a fate.

    Other 

Clark Kent/Kal-El/Superman

  • Big Damn Heroes: Shows up in the climax of Distant Cousins to help fight against Doomsday.
  • Put on a Bus: Was off-planet when the Snap took place, and Kara tells herself that he's off helping other worlds rather than face the possibility that he was another victim.
  • There Is Another: Earth-51 Clark wistfully expresses envy over the fact this iteration of Superman still has a living, biological cousin.
  • Uncertain Doom: During Crisis, Kara desperately wants to believe he's helping other worlds instead of considering the possibility that he's been Dusted.
  • Unseen No More: After being The Ghost in the first story and subsequent others, he makes his first physical appearance in Distant Cousins to help out Kara and Carol.

Cat Grant

  • The Bus Came Back: Returns to take back control of CatCo, feeling it's better to be a media mogul once more.
  • Secret Secret-Keeper: Reveals she's known for years Kara is Supergirl.
    Cat: I'm an award-winning journalist, your disguise is atrocious and I've known nuns who are better liars than you!
  • Unknown Rival: Claims to have a panic room not for alien/villain attacks but because "I'm the sworn enemy of Lois Lane and need a place to hide!" She doesn't seem to hear Kara's assertion Lois barely even thinks of Cat.

Lena Luthor

  • Actor Allusion: Brilliantly played, since Katie McGrath playing Morgana Pendragon and Lena Luthor means both women are one person on the meta-level.
  • Adaptational Heroism: Unlike in canon, Lena reacts positively to Kara revealing herself as Supergirl. This hadn't happened in the show yet though, before Lena began to show her darker side...which here is Morgan anyway.
  • Decomposite Character: An unusual variation. "Lena Luthor" is modeled on a young Morgana Pendragon, the sweet and compassionate woman Merlin once loved. When she becomes her own person, she still has young-Morgana's idealism and niceness.
  • Gone Horribly Right: Morgan only intended for "Lena Luthor" to be a fake life which she would easily discard. Black Kryptonite reveals Lena is a real person with a soul and feelings of her own.
  • Literal Split Personality: After Lena is revealed to be a fake identity for Morgana created by a spell, Kara uses black kryptonite to split Lena and Morgana into separate people.
  • My Greatest Second Chance: Merlin tells her she's all the goodness Morgan couldn't cut out from her, and now she gets to live her life as she wants.
  • The Reveal: It turns out "Lena Luthor" never actually existed as she's really Morgan Le Fey having used a spell to craft an identity so strong that she believed it herself. It took being "Dusted" for her to remember her true identity and power.

James Olsen/Guardian

Billy Batson/Captain Marvel

  • The Ghost: He's been mentioned multiple times, but hasn't made a proper appearance.

Maxwell Lord

Norman Osborn

  • Adaptational Heroism: With his wife still alive to stop him going too far, Osborn quit being a CEO to focus on being a husband, father and scientist.

Emily Osborn

  • Living Emotional Crutch: Norman explicitly states that he might have had some kind of breakdown if it wasn't for Emily's support inspiring him to quit being a CEO.
  • Spared by the Adaptation: Most interpretations of the Green Goblin state that Emily died giving birth; here she is alive while Harry attends Midtown High.

Doctor Otto Octavius

  • Break the Haughty: A friendly example as Peter has to point out the mistake in his calculations before it causes his reactor to explode. After Peter helps stop it, Otto apologizes and acknowledges Peter has taught him "a perhaps long overdue lesson in humility."
  • Oh, Crap!: Basically has this reaction when Peter Parker manages to point out a mistake in his calculations.
  • Underestimating Badassery: Initially spends time complaining about being assigned a student as an intern until Peter Parker is able to prevent an explosion in his lab that could have caused significant collateral damage.

Seol Hee/Luna Snow

Mari McCabe/Vixen

Derek James/Sideways

Hugh Dawkins/Tasmanian Devil

The Challengers of the Unknown

Fernanda Rodriguez/The Locust

Miguel Montez

Earth-43

Home to a variant DC Universe as seen in Infinity Spotlights: Volcana.

Earth-51

Home to characters from the DC Extended Universe and Constantine.
    Justice Society 
  • Cosmic Retcon: In Another Side of the Glimpses, The Pighead caused changes throughout the histories of various Earths, including Earth-51. One of the changes revealed in Temporal Tete-a-Tete was that Wonder Woman founded and led this group during WWII.
  • The Ghost: They're mentioned in Temporal Tete-a-Tete, but not "seen". Members of the group would appear in Women of Wonder.
  • Old Superhero: According to Temporal Tete-a-Tete, they were forced into retirement in the 1950s thanks to J. Edgar Hoover threatening to smear them as Communist agents if they did not work directly for him.

Nabu/Kent Nelson/Dr. Fate

  • Actor Allusion: When someone moans, "We're gonna die," Kent assures him, "You Die Another Day."
  • The Archmage: He's Earth-51's equivalent to the Sorcerer Supreme.
  • Mr. Exposition: Right after the Decimation, he's the one to explain its cause to the League.
  • Noodle Incident: Diana and Bruce had the opportunity to meet him. Apparently, it went badly since they're rather hostile to him.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: He only appears to explain the League why half the universe vanished into dust and to send them to the Avengers' Earth, right at the perfect moment to turn the battle's tide.
  • Worf Had the Flu: Basically suggested as the reason he can't assist directly; the breakdown of the dimensional barriers in recent times requires Fate to focus more on maintaining those barriers to stop other forces coming through, preventing him from taking a more active role in opposing Aresia and Circe's current plans.

Hawkman/Carter Hall

  • Blood Knight: In Local Gathering, when he first learns of Black Adam, Shiera remarks that Carter wants to fight him.
  • Happily Married: Local Gathering reveals that he is this to Shiera Hall, aka Hawkwoman. They've been together for decades.
  • Older Than They Look: It's established in History Lesson-51 that the JSA were exposed to energies from a villain named Ian Karkull that ended up slowing their aging. Hawkman was one of the JSA members that was exposed.
  • Race Lift: When he appears in Women of Wonder, he's modeled after Aldis Hodge's portrayal of Hawkman in Black Adam (2022). Hodge is African-American.

Hawkwoman/Shiera Hall

  • Happily Married: To Carter Hall for decades.
  • Older Than They Look: Hawkwoman was one of the JSA members exposed to the energies of Ian Karkull in the 1940s, resulting in her aging being slowed.
  • Race Lift: In the comics, Shiera Hall is white. The Infinity Crisis version of her is Egyptian-American.
  • Red Oni,Blue Oni: In Local Gathering, she is shown as the cooler-headed of the Hawks. While she admits she would not be against fighting Black Adam, she would rather wait until he actually makes a move to threaten the world before striking.

Karen Starr/Power Girl

Jade II/Nicki Scott-Jones

  • Generation Xerox: She inherited her mother's appearance and powers.
  • Legacy Hero: Inherited powers from her grandfather, Alan Scott...and her mother, Jennie-Lynn Scott/Jade I.
  • Related in the Adaptation: In the comics, the Jennie-Lynn Hayden and Nicki Jones Jades were not related. The versions of them introduced in Family Time are respectively mother and daughter.

Al Rothstein/Atom Smasher

    Justice League 

Clark Kent/Kal-El/Superman

  • Big Damn Heroes: Applies to most of the League, but Superman deserves special credit; when Iron Man, Captain Marvel and Supergirl (Earth-38) were having trouble against Thanos, Superman showed up and swiftly turned the tide to the point of taking the Gauntlet away from him.
  • Clark Kenting: He's the freaking Trope Namer! Okay, slouching his posture, wearing somewhat loose-fitting clothes, and raising his voice an octave help, but truly the glasses are crucial.
  • Crusading Widower: He could hear his beloved Lois being dusted, and he immediately jumps on the opportunity to find the one responsible and force him to bring her back.
  • Humble Hero: Deep down, Clark Kent is just a Farm Boy from Kansas who wants to help people.
  • Last of His Kind: As far as he knows, the other Kryptonians are in the Phantom Zone or dead. The trope is averted when Kara Zor-El is introduced.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Delivered one to Thanos about his inability to consider alternative solutions, but it obviously has minimal impact on Thanos.
  • Secret Secret-Keeper: His Super-Senses informed him of General Swanwick's inhumanity, yet he abstained from outing the guy.
  • Spotting the Thread: He couldn't help but notice that General Swanwick didn't have his organs in the right place.

Bruce Wayne/Batman

  • Amazon Chaser: Even when the "dubious morality" criteria stays unfulfilled, the Bat likes his women tough. Earth-51 Talia al Ghul the master assassin pines after him, he had a fling with Classy Cat-Burglar Selina Kyle and has a lot of Ship Tease with Wonder Woman, the resident Amazon badass warrior.
  • Badass Normal: The only purely human member of the Justice League present, but he swiftly joins Team Arrow in beating up Hydra's forces.
  • Crazy-Prepared: Allegedly has plans for situations including being turned into a dog.
  • Death Glare: Such an intimidating one, he manages to cow superhumans who could just break his back on their knee.
  • Master Actor: When he impersonates small-time crook Matches Malone to Deathstroke.
  • No Social Skills: It takes a lot for proud asshole Tony Stark to accuse you of this.
  • Pragmatic Hero: He outright paid Deathstroke to bring him samples from Thea Queen's blood and Lazarus water, because Deathstroke may be a tool but he's also a very good agent.
  • Ship Tease: He attends a museum exhibition of potentially mystical artifacts with Diana as his date, which may or may not suggest deeper feelings. Others comment on it.
  • Stealth Hi/Bye: Actually gets this pulled on him by Green Arrow.
  • Summon Bigger Fish: His solution to finally deal with Amora and the mentally enslaved Balder was to throw the Martian Manhunter at them.
  • Terror Hero: He's called out on this by Spider-Man and Stan Lee's cameo, and even Freddy Freeman and Darcy Lewis note that he's very intimidating.
  • Thou Shall Not Kill: A pillar of his moral character. Even after hiring Deathstroke, he threatened to dock the mercenary's pay if he heard about bloodshed on the job.

Diana Prince/Wonder Woman

  • Action Girl: Particularly notable as she joins Sif, Okoye, and others in battling the Dark Elves.
  • Armor-Piercing Response: When Adrianna attempts to claim that the League are just wary of Adam because he doesn't "kowtow" to them, Wonder Woman points out to Adrianna that if someone else had done what Adam did, coming to Khandaq and taken power for themselves, she would be just as suspicious of that person as the League are of Adam; she essentially only "lets Adam off" because of his history with Khandaq.
  • Cosmic Retcon: One of the changes made to history by the Wild Card in Another Side of the Glimpses is revealed in Temporal Tete-a-Tete that Wonder Woman founded and led Earth-51's Justice Society during World War II.
  • Divine Parentage: Thanos identifies her as an Olympian, indicating her status as the daughter of Zeus.
  • Even the Girls Want Her: Alex and Sara are basically drooling over her when they see her. Darcy similarly says she's definitely a lesbian (or at least curious) after seeing Diana for the first time.
  • Older Than They Look: She's immortal, having debuted during World War I (and was born long beforehand) and not aged since.
  • Ship Tease: She attends a museum exhibition of potentially mystical artifacts as Bruce Wayne's date, which may or may not suggest at deeper feelings.

Barry Allen/The Flash

  • The Nth Doctor: At one unspecified point in time, The Pighead tested her ability to trigger regenerations on him, which led to his face being changed from Ezra Miller to Ryan Kwanten. She then had to use her reality-warping powers so no one would suspect anything, since the two look nothing alike.
  • Outside-Context Problem: On Earth-1, DeVoe's plans are undermined when this Barry assists Team Flash.
  • Put on a Bus: He's Dusted along with almost the whole Legion of Doom.
  • Screw This, I'm Out of Here!: He doesn't actually do it, but after the rest of the Shazam family join the fight, Flash informs Superman that he's leaving the team if they recruit the grade school kids.

Arthur Curry/Aquaman

  • Actor Allusion: Never mention Baywatch around him.
  • Battle Couple: He considers asking Mera to fight besides him at the Battle of New York as a date.
  • Berserk Button: He apparently really doesn't like Baywatch.
  • Put on a Bus: Batman deduces he was taken by the Snap when he doesn't call the League in the immediate aftermath.
  • What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: Parodied and averted - Peter Quill begins to ask Aquaman what kind of power talking to fish is, only for him to summon a tidal wave that includes a humpback whale squashing several of Thanos' forces.

Victor Stone/Cyborg

  • Hollywood Atheist: Observes that he didn't believe in God, but muses that he may start praying after he and Shuri use the Mother Box to interface with the Gauntlet and project Ray, Scott and Hope into the Soul Gem. When he later comments that he's not sure he believes in an afterlife, Constantine observes that "they" get a real kick out of guys like Cyborg witnessing "the Silver City or down below".
  • Ship Tease: Shuri is clearly impressed with Cyborg, although Sam Wilson and T'Challa muse that it's hard to be sure if she has a crush on Victor or is simply intrigued by his cyborg tech.

Hal Jordan/Green Lantern

  • Mentor Archetype: When John Stewart decides to keep his Lantern ring, Hal decided to teach him the ropes to superheroism.
  • Put on a Bus: He had to sit out on the rescue intervention due to him being Snapped.

John "Stewart" Diggle/Green Lantern

Billy Batson/Shazam

  • Actor Allusion: Sif muses he looks very much like her late friend Fandral in his grown-up form.
  • All-Loving Hero: He has no problem interacting with the obviously alien Martian Manhunter and is even ready to let Black Adam in peace as long as the guy is genuinely protecting Kahndaq.
  • Declaration of Protection: Rather sweetly, he declares anyone daring to give shit to J'onn J'onzz for being a Martian is going to find the whole Shazam family on their way.
  • Kid Hero: In Sins, Sirens & Strife the League are all shocked when Shazam is forced to reveal his true identity.
  • Mythology Gag: The public is naming him "Captain Thunder", his alias in the Flashpoint timeline.
  • Shock and Awe: He's still learning how to offensively use his lightning.
  • Sibling Team: Adoptive variant, since he's protecting the city of Philadelphia with the other kids in his foster family.

J'onn J'onzz/Calvin Swanwick/Martian Manhunter

  • Due to the Dead: The reason why he chose the form of a black man as his Secret Identity? The scientist who brought him to Earth was a black man himself.
  • Fantastic Racism: He's rather apprehensive about going public as a hero because of this.
  • Godzilla Threshold: He knows using his powers means losing his peaceful life. He still intervenes to break Amora's psychic thrall upon Balder.
  • Last of His Kind: The Last Son of Mars.
    • Defied in History Lesson-51 which revealed that there is a Green Martian colony that J'onn found and helped liberate from a White Martian posing as a Green Martian overlord.
  • Mind Manipulation: The reason why Batman decides to call on him is his extremely powerful telepathy.
  • Older Than They Look: J'onn has been living on Earth since the 1950s.
  • The Reveal: The general turned Secretary of Defense is really the Earth-51 Martian Manhunter.

Alfred Pennyworth

  • Deadpan Snarker: He's the ultimate Servile Snarker, dropping sarcastic quips about Bruce's job.
  • I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: He would really like for Bruce to dial down on his endless crusade against crime and find personal happiness instead — which shows in his fondness for Bruce's former lover Selina.
  • Not So Stoic: Lets out a small smile when Flash asks if the cameras are recording Batman having been transformed into a dog.
  • Shipper on Deck: Subtly, but even the relationship didn't work out, he still appears to approve of Selina Kyle's past relationship with Bruce.

    Birds of Prey 

Harley Quinn

  • Breaking the Fourth Wall: Mentions in Counterpart Conferences that she's like Deadpool except that people don't use her "to wipe out characters they hate for petty reasons while they rant as if they represent the vast majority of the fandom".
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: The Birds openly ask why they hang out with her.
  • Hidden Depths: Ends up offering potentially legitimate advice to Alice of Earth-1 to try and get over her issues.
  • Too Spicy for Yog-Sothoth: The Earth-1992 JOKER thinks she's too insane for him.

Black Canary

  • Important Haircut: Got this because long hair was too much of a hindrance for fighting.

Huntress

Renee Montoya

    Legion of Doom 

Lex Luthor Jr.

  • Even Evil Has Standards: He's completely freaked out by the Snap.
  • Not Me This Time: The "Snap Wave" hits Earth-51 right when the League are fighting the Legion of Doom. As various heroes and villains turn to dust, Superman demands to know what Luthor did but Luthor protests he had nothing to do with this before he too turns to dust.
  • Only Sane Man: In a sense; he might be the most eccentric of the gathered versions of Lex Luthor from across the multiverse, but he's also the only Luthor who actually knows that Clark Kent is Superman where none of the others are capable of accepting that fact.

Solomon Grundy

Cheetah

  • Freak Out: Her understandable reaction when she sees her own body disintegrating is to scream.
  • Legacy Villain: According to Temporal Tete-A-Tete, Barbara Minerva is not the first Cheetah.

Sinestro

Sam Scudder/Mirror Master

Len Snart/Captain Cold

Digger Hawkness/Captain Boomerang

  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Boomerang is the only member of the Legion of Doom still standing when the "Snappening" hits. Rather than run off as he normally would, Boomerang can only stand stunned amid the piles of dust.
  • Sole Survivor: He's the only member of the Legion of Doom not affected by the "Snappening".
  • Villainous Breakdown: He's stricken mute and stunned when he becomes the Legion's Sole Survivor.

Slade Wilson/Deathstroke

  • Arc Villain: Of Different Strokes.
  • Consummate Professional: He will accomplish his mission, no matter the obstacles, the job's very nature or the buyer's identity.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: When Earth-1 Slade asks if he ever had a Grant or a Joe, Deathstroke softly admits "it went badly".
  • If I Wanted You Dead...: Flatly states the only reason Team Arrow is still alive after a fight is because he's being paid a bonus not to kill anyone.
  • Implacable Man: His mission took him on another Earth, with different people and different places, yet he still fulfilled it. Deathstroke is nothing but a professional.
  • Nothing Personal: He's a mercenary to the core, so yes. A job is a job.
  • Not So Stoic: The only crack in his professional veneer appears when he's reminded of what happened to his sons.
  • Only in It for the Money: His Alternate Self is a bit miffed about it. He's later seen bluntly telling Matches Malone he doesn't care about his jobs, just about his payment at the end.
  • Spot the Imposter: When he attacks Team Arrow, most of them think he's their Earth's Deathstroke. Oliver doesn't as the fighting style is different and he took this Deathstroke down with a move Slade taught Oliver. Felicity then shows video of how this Deathstroke is several inches taller and has a different voice pattern.

    Monster Society of Evil 

Thaddeus Sivana

  • Actor Allusion: Green Lantern notes Sivana reminds him of Sinestro. Both characters have been portrayed by Mark Strong.
  • No-Sell: For unspecified reasons, Sivana is immune to Amora's attempt to use her powers to control him.

Mister Mind

  • Ambiguous Gender: Amora briefly wonders if she's supposed to call the caterpillar a "he", since it's a caterpillar.
  • Glass Cannon: Deprived from its awesome psychic prowess, Mind is a mere caterpillar and as such extremely squishy.
  • Outside-Context Problem: In Sins, Sirens and Strife, Mind manages to take down Batman and the Flash because neither of them were expecting a talking caterpillar to be a factor.

Stanley Printwhistle/Ibac

  • By the Power of Grayskull!: His transformation is triggered when he screams "Ibac".
  • Dumbass Has a Point: While not the smartest of the group of villains assembled, Ibac is the one to point out to the others that they can't forget that Enchantress will have her own agenda and isn't just helping them gain their own dreams for the sake of it.
  • Fun with Acronyms: His name: The terror of Ivan the Terrible; the cunning of Cesare Borgia; the fierceness of Attila the Hun; and the cruelty of Caligula.
  • Lower-Class Lout: All his mannerisms - he's crude, brutish and he doesn't bother hiding it.
  • Weaksauce Weakness: He automatically depowers when saying "Ibac" a second time, allowing Batman to knock him down.

    Task Force X/Suicide Squad 

Amanda Waller

Bloodsport

Peacemaker

Ratcatcher

King Shark

Kite Man

Bronze Tiger

Nightshade

Vixen

  • Token Good Teammate: Noted to be an operative without an explosive in her head, although her reasons for being on the Squad are not elaborated on.

    Other Supervillains 

Teth Adam/Black Adam

  • Actor Allusion: When Freddy starts to identify himself, Adam snaps "It does not matter what your name is!"
  • The Bad Guy Wins: Rather than be captured, Adam ends up becoming the recognized leader of his home nation to rule as he wishes.
  • Berserk Button: He was rightfully pissed off when he saw how low his country was dragged by greedy politicians.
  • Evil Counterpart: Serves as this to Shazam, although he is reasonable.
  • Genius Bruiser: He can lose a fight against Shazam, but the precautions he took beforehand ensure he will walk free.
  • Hero's Evil Predecessor: It's because of him that the Wizard was so stringent about entrusting his power to someone completely pure of heart.
  • A Hero to His Hometown: The Justice League considers him a supervillain and huge threat to global security. To Kahndaq, Black Adam is the man who overthrew a dictator and genuinely wants to bring prosperity back to the country.
  • Kick The Son Of A Bitch: His first public act on the cape scene was throwing the last dictator of Kahndaq to the masses said dictator starved and oppressed every day. It's hard to not cheer on him for this one.
  • A Lighter Shade of Black: Contrasting with his (reluctant) teammates' really self-aggrandizing preoccupations, Adam is driven by a genuine love for his country.
  • Redeeming Replacement: He manages to be this as a ruler to Kahndaq, as Teth-Adam genuinely cares about making the land safe and prosperous instead of lining his pockets and oppressing the masses.
  • Would Hurt a Child: He's totally aware of Billy's true age and feels no remorse trying to murder him.

Circe

  • Femme Fatalons: Uses her nails to slash at Diana.
  • Godhood Seeker: Her ultimate goal is to ascend and replace the Olympian pantheon.
  • Gorgeous Greek: She's got the Mediterranean type and is described in very flattery terms.
  • Sins of Our Fathers: The reason why she hates Wonder Woman is because Diana is the daughter of her foe Hippolyta.
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: She and Amora are constantly looking for a way to backstab each other.

Bane

  • Informed Ability: Batman expresses fear of Bane's potential as an enemy, but the villain is only shown in a brainwashed state where he has little real grasp of tactics.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Batman knows Bane was under some sort of influence in their fight as the man is nowhere near stupid enough to try punching Superman without some Kryptonite.

The Joker

  • Be Careful What You Wish For: Just as this Joker is musing that his life has become stuck in a rut since Batman became too busy with the League to bother with him and wants something to shake up his life, he enters his current base and finds his entire gang slaughtered by another version of himself who proceeds to kill him and take his place as this world's Joker.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Harley noted at one point that he never liked Nazis or white supremacists, considering them "too darn mean" (albeit with the observation that he'd just kill anyone regardless of race).
  • Killed Off for Real: Is killed by his counterpart from another universe, who dismisses him as a disappointment.
  • Villain Decay: Is accused of this by his Earth-1992 counterpart, who tells him that he has gone from the man who once killed a Robin to a lame take on a standard crime boss who lacks any real style and lost all of his old 'quirks', the 1992-Joker explicitly comparing his counterpart to the likes of Black Mask rather than himself.

Ra's al Ghul

Talia al Ghul

Poison Ivy

  • Adaptational Villainy: This Ivy is more murderous than many other versions of her. Infinity Crisis: Overgrowth revealed that she has quite a body count behind her.
  • Go Mad from the Revelation: Played with. This Ivy is already insane, but she's horrified to learn in Overgrowth that the Multiverse exists, and humans live on many of those alternate Earths.
  • Noodle Incident: Overgrowth revealed that she tried to "finish the job" the Dusting started, but was stopped by the Mikaal Tomas Starman.
  • Omnicidal Maniac: She believes the only way to save the Earth is to completely eliminate every single human.

Lourdes Lucero/La Encantadora

  • Ascended Extra: She's an obscure Superman rogue, first appearing in Secret Origins of Super-Villains 80-Page Giant #1 (December 1999).
  • Anti-Villain: History Lesson-51 establishes that she wasn't really evil, but the Mists of Ibella that empowered her were driving her mad trying to corrupt her mind.
  • Chekhov's Gun: Her powers were mystical in nature, which made a handy weapon against Zod, Faora, and Non.
  • Starter Villain: She was one of the first villains Superman encountered.

Edward Lytener/Luminus

  • Anti-Villain: Like La Encantadora, he wasn't really evil, just a victim of blackmail forced to fight Superman.
  • Canon Immigrant: He originally came from Superman: The Animated Series.
  • Chekhov's Gun: Battling him helped Superman discover Kryptonians were weakened by red sunlight, knowledge that came in handy when he faced Zod, Faora, and Non later on.
  • Starter Villain: He was one of the first villains Superman faced, alongside La Encantadora.

    Other 

Mera

  • Ascended Fangirl: A minor example; she notes that Arthur has been getting her more into films.
  • Battle Couple: She joins Aquaman for the Battle of New York.
  • Blood Knight: She considers fighting an alien horde as a lovely date with Arthur.
  • The Nth Doctor: Averted. She's written as a potential test subject in The Pighead's journals about the tests on her ability to use regeneration energy on others but she doesn't do it, ranting instead about Amber Heard's treatment by the public in Real Life.
  • Redhead In Green: Her attire for the party thrown by Tony Stark following the Second Battle of New York.

Atlanna

  • Action Mom: Proves it when she aids the Amazons in fighting demons.

Hippolyta

  • Badass Boast: Gets one when she and Atlanna face off against Circe's demons.
    Hippolyta: Come. Let us show them how queens make war.
  • Lady of War: The Queen of the Amazons shows she's still the best fighter of the lot.

Vulko

Selina Kyle/Catwoman

  • Classy Cat-Burglar: That's in her epithet. She's actually introduced trying to steal a diamond.
  • Dating Catwoman: Not in-narrative, but it is mentioned that she and Bruce dated in the past.
  • Kindhearted Cat Lover: She might be very self-centered and cynical, but Diana notes she genuinely cares for and dotes on her neighborhood's felines.
  • Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids!: Spending her childhood in Gotham didn't lead her to develop a sparkling viewpoint regarding mankind.

Major Lucy Lane

John Constantine

Gabriel

  • Humans Are Bastards: He's driven by the view that humanity are viceful beings who deserve Hell on Earth. Unlike most examples he does acknowledge that there are good humans but considers humanity as a whole irredeemable.
  • Hypocrite: He loathes humanity for their sinful nature but was all too happy to exploit said nature to build a life for himself as a human.
  • Never My Fault: Even after Constantine thwarted their plans with the Spear, Gabriel still believes the plan only failed because of Constantine summoning Lucifer rather than accept that the plan was wrong.
  • Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: Gabriel professes that his plan to help Circe bring about Hell on Earth is fully justified by the idea that humanity is so sinful that most of them deserve to burn while the truly deserving will be granted paradise in Heaven. Constantine takes a wrecking ball to that claim by pointing out that the powers of Heaven will work against such a thing, showing that he's not actually doing the work of his brethren on Earth; that the billions who will perish as a result are not an equal tradeoff for the effort and that Gabriel themself is hoping that he'll have their angelic status restored for doing it. Constantine even implies that the Spectre may be paying him a visit just to underscore how self-serving Gabriel's actions really are.
  • Secretly Selfish: When Gabriel plays the Well-Intentioned Extremist card Constantine accuses him of going through with this plans because he's hoping that he'll have his angelic status restored for his work.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: Still wants to consider themselves this, assisting Circe's plan to unleash Hell on Earth in the name of "forcing" humanity to prove themselves worthy of Heaven.

  • Took a Level in Badass: After being injured by Circe, she's able to unlock the "family legacy" of magic in her pendant to become Isis.

Nora Allen

  • Spared by the Adaptation: Due to the actions of the Wild Card/The Pighead, history was altered and now she was never murdered by Professor Zoom when Barry Allen was a boy.

    Other Superheroes 

Oliver Queen/Green Arrow

  • Lighter and Softer: He's mentioned to be prone to cracking jokes, so he's more laid-back than his Earth-1 counterpart.
  • Other Me Annoys Me: Deathstroke accuses him of being a constantly preaching "liberal" and as such finds Earth-1 Oliver refreshingly blunt.
  • Refused the Call: Flash mentions he declined an invitation to join the League as he wanted to keep focusing on street-level crimes.

  • Legacy Character: He's the second Hawkman, naturally.

Shayera Hol/Hawkwoman II

  • Fiery Redhead: She's described as a redhead in Local Gathering.
  • Happily Married: Local Gathering reveals that she is married to her Hawkman, Katar Hol. Shiera Hall, her predecessor as Hawkwoman, finds it sweet.
  • Legacy Character: She's the second Hawkwoman. Duh.

Shazam Family

  • Ascended Fanboy: Freddy's status as this is acknowledged when he is initially enthusiastic about meeting Batman before noting that the Dark Knight is a lot more intimidating in person than he expected.
  • Boxing Lessons for Superman: With the fight concluded, Thor and Sif offer to train the children in their abilities.
  • Brainy Brunette: Discussed for Mary at least, as she muses that she may take politics courses at college to try and deal with the stupidity of the process that would allow Black Adam to remain in power after he just fought with the Justice League.
  • Sibling Team: Foster siblings who fight crime together!

Zatanna Zatarra

  • Hot Witch: Naturally.
  • Refuge in Audacity: She actually uses real magic in her act and lets everyone else assume she's just using stage magic to hide that she has powers.

Mikaal Tomas/Starman

  • Noodle Incident: In Overgrowth, it was revealed that he had battled Poison Ivy.

Earth-66

Home to characters from Batman (1966).

    Heroes 

Richard "Dick" Grayson/Robin

  • Big Good: Seems to be the closest equivalent to one on Earth-66.
  • Cool Old Guy: He used to be a hero, after all. And his grandkids likely see him as this too.
  • Formerly Fit: He's described as having become doughy. To be fair, he's in his late seventies and retired from crimefighting long ago.
  • Retired Badass: He hung up his cape a long time ago.
  • The Unmasking: He and Bruce both revealed their true identities to the public when they retired.

Bruce Wayne/Batman

  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: This Batman has always been a squeaky-clean hero who doesn't swear. But much to Robin's surprise, their encounter with the pedophilic Sweet Tooth pushes Batman's tolerance.
    "A damn dirty pervert!"
  • Posthumous Character: He died of old age long before the Snap even happened.

Wenonah Littlebird/Owlwoman

  • Alternate Self: Averted, she's in no way anything like Owlman from Batman: The Brave and the Bold.
  • Animal-Themed Superbeing: Owls. Of the three members of the Birds of Prey, she has the most to do with her namesake.
  • Dude Magnet / Even the Girls Want Her: It's consistent across her appearances that almost everyone thinks she's alluring.
  • The Ghost: She's only mentioned in Holy Cranberries, Batman!, before making a full appearance in Infinity Crisis Aftermath: Birds of Prey.
  • In-Series Nickname: Jurnee likes to call her "Wenny", though most others stick to calling her Wenonah.
  • Legacy Character: Averted. While she is Gotham's new protector, she has no affiliation with Batman or his allies.
  • Leg Focus: She's got some impressive legs, according to Grayson. Harper Row later credits them as one of the things that helped her realize she was bisexual.
    Grayson: Sure is a looker though. She's got a set of legs as impressive as mine used to be.
  • Superhero Sobriquets: She is also referred to as the "Cherokee Crusader", a reference to her heritage.

Jurnee Queen/Black Canary

Harper Row/Bluebird

  • Dye Hard: She dyes her hair a shade of blue.

President Hal Jordan/Green Lantern

  • Our Presidents Are Different: At some point in the past, he became President of the United States.
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: For whatever reason, he and Bruce despised one another. Owlwoman implies in Infinity Crisis Aftermath: Birds of Prey II that Jordan having an "alpha male" type personality had something to do with it.

    Villains 

Stuart "Stu" Crose/Sweet Tooth

Whiteout

  • Light Is Not Good: He wears a mostly white costume.
  • Original Character: He was created for the story he appears in. That said, he takes some visual cues from Foolkiller, which suggests he may actually be Earth-66's version of him.

Selina Kyle/Catwoman

  • Cool Old Lady: One of the oldest versions of Catwoman and able to pickpocket three of her younger selves without them noticing.

Earth-76

Home to characters from Wonder Woman (1975) and The Bionic Woman
    Superheroes 

Diana Prince / Wonder Woman

  • Clark Kenting: Even the Earth-1992 Diana, used to seeing Superman as Clark Kent, is impressed by how a pair of glasses and her hair in a bun is enough for this Diana to hide her identity.
  • One-Steve Limit: Is referred to as 'Prince' when she and her Earth-1992 counterpart are present.

Steve Trevor

Etta Candy

Steve Trevor Junior

  • Identical Grandson: Both Dianas lampshade how bizarre it is that Steve is the spitting image of his father.

Jaime Sommers

  • Honorary True Companion: Is assured that she should consider herself a true Amazon regardless of her origins, as her world's Hippolyta has proclaimed her as such.
  • Right for the Wrong Reasons: She knows Earth-1992 Diana is an Amazon, but not that she is from another earth.
  • Secret-Keeper: Knows Diana is Wonder Woman.

Batman

Catwoman

Poison Ivy

Earth-99

As in canon, the home to a Batman who chose to kill even his 'allies'.
    Characters 

Bruce Wayne

  • Dark and Troubled Past: Wayne's words suggest that he first crossed the line when the Joker killed Tim Drake.
  • Doting Parent: Zigzagged. Wayne threw his moral code away to avenge Tim Drake and he still uses Cassandra's birthday as his computer's code access, yet his extremism drove Dick Grayson away.
  • Handicapped Badass: Even in his crippled condition, Batman muses that no conventional prison would be able to hold Wayne.
  • He Who Fights Monsters: He doesn't even hide how this is what's happened to him.
  • Misplaced Retribution: Wayne claims at one point that he now considers himself just as responsible for the crimes of his enemies as they were, seeing his new willingness to kill as a means of ensuring that can't happen again.
  • The Password Is Always "Swordfish": An interesting subversion, with the password being one of his children's birthday. Except Earth-1992 Batman never got to meet and adopt Cassandra, so he is unable to guess it.
  • Shoo the Dog: His Earth-1992 counterpart accuses him from this, since his extremism drove Commissioner Gordon and Dick Grayson to leave while he outright forced Alfred to go.

Luke Fox

  • Adaptational Heroism: In the original Crisis miniseries he seemed to be OK with Batman killing his opponents. Here he only stuck around to avenge his father, and, once he realized vengeance did nothing to ease the pain, hoped that there was still good in Wayne, trying to encourage a more moderate view even when Wayne proved more ruthless.
  • Morality Pet: Luke at least tried to serve as one for Wayne, but admits that he failed and recognizes that killing criminals truly accomplished nothing.
  • Take Up My Sword: Before departing, Batman suggests to Luke Fox that he could serve as the new hero for this world's Gotham.
  • Vengeance Feels Empty: He ultimately realized killing criminals wouldn't actually help with his grief and rage over his father's demise.

Tim Drake

Dick Grayson

Barbara Gordon

  • Ambiguous Situation: While it's implied she's dead, it's unclear if she is or not, though whatever happened to her was enough to temporarily get her father to support the killing of anyone Batman wanted.

The Joker

Clark Kent/Superman

Cassandra Cain

Commissioner Gordon

  • Broken Bird: He's said to have abandoned Earth-99's Gotham. Given what Bruce has become and Barbara probably having been killed, it's hard to blame him.
  • Morality Chain: At the least, Wayne respected him enough to not become entirely a monster as long as he was working in Gotham. But when he decided to leave the town...
  • Papa Wolf: He let the Joker's murder slide for something the clown did to his daughter Barbara.
  • You Killed My Father: Possibly. In most canon materials, Joker only crippled Barbara Gordon, but Earth-99 Barbara's situation is rather ambiguous regarding her survival.

Azrael

Earth-167

Home to characters from Smallville.
    Justice League 

Clark Kent/Kal-El/Superman

  • Alternate Self: Do you really need to ask for who?
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: Delivers one to Brandon Breyer/Brightburn, who, for all his power, is still just a twelve-year-old kid who's only just discovered his powers and never fought anyone of equal strength whereas Clark is an adult with a good couple of decades of experience in honing his powers and fighting other superpowered threats under his belt.
  • Mirror Character: The Doctor confirms that she chose to get help from this version of Clark because he has a better understanding of the events that drove Brandon to this point than other versions of him might possess.
  • Other Me Annoys Me: Invoked; Clark isn't comfortable to learn that some of his other selves are more willing to kill their opponents than he is, but accepts the Doctor's assurance that they don't kill as a first option and are just more willing to go that far while he might try harder to find another way.

Oliver Queen/Green Arrow

Bart Allen/Impulse/The Flash

  • And I Must Scream: Was stuck into the Speed Force with the Black Flash until his rescue by his two counterparts.
  • The Bus Came Back: Lightning Strikes sees Bart being rescued from the Black Flash by the Barry Allens of Earths-1 and -51.
  • Meaningful Rename: Following his rescue, he decides "Impulse" was only an immature brat and adopts the "Flash" moniker.

Dinah Lance/Black Canary

Victor Stone/Cyborg

Chloe Sullivan/Watchtower

Earth-211

The universe of the Wonder Woman (2011 pilot).

    Characters 

Wonder Woman/Diana Thermyscira

  • Blood Knight: Explicitly muses that the sound of breaking bones is music to her ears, and she clearly goes out of her way to hurt Veronica Cale's security team when she could take them out in a less lethal manner.
  • Hypocrite: Cale explicitly calls her one, observing that she lies about herself while claiming to be in favour of truth and justice.

Veronica Cale

  • Jerkass Has a Point: Veronica Cale may be conducting illegal experiments, but she isn't lying when she criticises the way Wonder Woman operates.

Earth-414

A DC-based Earth where Krypton was never destroyed and the Green Lantern Corps were disbanded, with Earth's primary hero being Kristin Olsen, the daughter of Jimmy Olsen, given powers by Kal-El.

    Characters 

Kristin Olsen/Superwoman

Roberta "Bobbi" Edmonton/Space Ranger

  • Original Character: Created for the story.
  • Pink Means Feminine: Her costume is yellow and hot pink. Played with because it's the uniform that all her fellow Space Rangers wear, including the men.
  • Tuckerization: Her name is a tribute to Bob Brown and Edmond Hamilton, who co-created the original Space Ranger with Gardner Fox.

Lex Luthor

Oswald Loomis Junior

  • Ambiguously Bi: He calls both Superwoman and Megamind "sexy".
  • Decomposite Character: With his father, Oswald Loomis, Sr., who is said to have never been a bad guy.
  • Not-So-Harmless Villain: While he's pretty undignified, he still managed to get the jump on Superwoman thanks to having acquired some Kryptonite.

Winslow Schott

Earth-1114

Home to characters from Batman: The Brave and the Bold.
    The Bat-Family 

Bruce Wayne/Batman

  • Clark Kenting: He wears dark sunglasses while posing as "Stacy Merrill-Crowley". Of course, Dick would've had no reason at all to suspect he was an alternate Bruce Wayne.

Helena Wayne/Huntress

  • Legacy Character: Just like in the comics, she is the daughter of the original Batman and Catwoman.

Selina Kyle/Catwoman

  • The Ghost: Mentioned, but not seen.
    • Played with in An Avenging Christmas. She's not "seen", but the narration states that she met Peggy Carter, and the two got along well.
  • Spared by the Adaptation: In the original Earth-2 comic stories, she was killed performing one last steal, which led Helena to become the Huntress. Her Earth-1989 counterpart is very much alive, despite her remaining unseen so far.

Dick Grayson/Nightwing

Stephanie Brown/Spoiler

Cassandra Cain/Batgirl

Earth-1992

The Earth of the DC Animated Universe.
    Superheroes 

Bruce Wayne/Batman

  • Crazy-Prepared: His Earth-99 counterpart notes how, in any world, Batman has plans to take down every member of the Justice League if he has to.
  • Dare to Be Badass: When Earth-99 Luke Fox laments the fact Gotham has no more defenders, he merely looks at the young man and asks: "Does it?"
  • Evil Me Scares Me: He confesses to Alfred that meeting Earth-99 Batman badly rattled him, even more than his Justice Lord counterpart.
  • Hidden Depths: He's the slightest bit wistful when interacting with Earth-2005 Bruce Wayne, his one Alternate Self who successfully retired and found love.
  • Godzilla Threshold: Faced with his Earth-99 counterpart, the only way to stop the other Batman is for him to trap his counterpart in the Phantom Zone.
  • Ignorant of His Own Ignorance: He's able to disable the Earth-99 Batman's computer as he naturally can guess every access code his counterpart would come up with. When Earth-99 Wayne asks "that include Cassandra's birthday?" Batman is confused as his world doesn't seem to have a Cassandra Cain.
  • Noodle Incident: He's been traveling the multiverse in search of the Joker and Ra's al Ghul and met the Earth-1 version of himself and Batwoman.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: The normally stoic and reserved DCAU Batman is furious to see what his Earth-99 counterpart has become and is afterward haunted by what he could have been like.
  • Other Me Annoys Me: Confronts his Earth-99 self in Counterpart Conferences and is utterly disgusted at what his counterpart has become.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Delivers one to his Earth-99 counterpart when comparing him to the other Batmen he's seen.
    Batman: I should thank you. Every now and then… for just one moment… I think about how easy it would be to get rid of Joker or Ra's, once and for all. Now…I see what happens when I cross that line. No matter what, I'm never going to become you. […] The day I think [like you] is the day I give it up. There are a lot of us across the multiverse. We've all stared into the abyss. The difference between us and you? You blinked.
  • Shut Up, Hannibal!: Basically, says this to his Earth-99 counterpart when Wayne claims that they are as responsible as their enemies for the people the villains have killed, Batman countering that their enemies are all sick people who are solely responsible for their actions.

Diana/Wonder Woman

  • Clark Kenting: She does this using a blonde wig and it completely works.
  • Ship Tease: Acknowledges her complex relationship with Batman, musing to her Earth-75 counterpart that she is attracted to a complex individual.

Alfred Pennyworth

  • I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Admits he's pleased that at least one Bruce Wayne (the Earth-2005 version) was able to leave behind Batman and enjoy a happy life, and by extension, this mean that one version of himself gets to have a satisfactory retirement.
  • Servile Snarker: As usual, he cheekily needles at his employer.
  • You Are Better Than You Think You Are: Reassures Bruce that Earth-99 Batman wasn't him, merely a criminal who happened to share his face and voice.

    Supervillains 

Ra's al Ghul

The Joker

  • Equal-Opportunity Evil: Evoked when he confronts the Earth-51 Birds of Prey and muses that he kills everyone no matter their ethnicity, just finding it odd that this Black Canary is so different from the others he's faced.
  • Other Me Annoys Me: Utterly disgusted by the Earth-51 version of himself who he dismisses as nothing but a souped-up mob boss lacking his style and panache.
    Joker: I am the Daniel Day-Lewis of crime, my friend, whereas you are Adam Sandler.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: In Counterpart Conferences, the Joker does a huge one to his Earth-51 counterpart, noting the man is unworthy of their name and nothing but a dressed-up thug.
    "Do you want to know why I picked you? I saw a few other versions out there, you know. Some were really, really out there. I mean, there's one where we look like a truly demented punk clown of some sort, that's really not fun. There's another where I just sound too damn serious. A couple others aren't too bad and I don't mind them much. Now, one version was just makeup and a scarred face but I kind of liked him. He got the chaos of things and how to enjoy yourself so I let him go by. But you, on the other hand… oh, I had to target you. [...] Because you are just… pathetic. Look at you." [Indicates the other Joker's outfit] "The tattoos? That's just gauche, really and mars my beautiful face up. The gold teeth, ugh, how hard it must be cleaning out those things. And your fashion, if we can call it that, is horrendous. But it's your behavior that really sticks in my craw. You're just a nasty thug, a hood with a little joy but nothing like you should be doing. Where is the style? Where is the panache? Where are the epic schemes? Making fish look like you? The creative death traps for Batman? Hell, when was the last time you just went on a wild drive and tossed pies of poison gas at people? Take away the hair and smile and what are you? You're a lame take on Black Mask or someone like that. You are not worthy of bearing our name in any way. You don't try to teach people the joke, you are the joke. I am the Daniel Day-Lewis of crime, my friend. Whereas you are Adam Sandler. This town… this world… deserves a better class of criminal. And I'm going to give it to them. As for you, I believe that it's past time that you got the treatment you truly deserve."
  • Screw This, I'm Out of Here!: When the Joker walks into a museum to find the Justice League trying to catch the animal-transformed Superman, Batman and Wonder Women, he decides there's no point sticking around for his originally-planned robbery after a 'joke' like that

Aresia

  • Became Their Own Antithesis: Diana criticizes how Aresia talks of 'saving' women and yet uses spells to control them to serve her, even justifying Circe sacrificing one of her followers in the name of the "greater good".
  • The Bus Came Back: She survived her seeming death, albeit with a scarred face.
  • It's All About Me: Aresia ignores all evidence that contradicts her own beliefs, to the extent that she now considers herself the only 'true' Amazon
  • Unwitting Pawn: Subverted; she's fully aware Circe is using her and could care less as she's too overwhelmed with a desire for revenge.

Circe

  • Forced Transformation: She turns Superman into a chimp, Batman into a dog, and three different Wonder Women into pigs.
  • Only One Me Allowed Right Now: Mentions that the main reason she can exist on Earth-51 is because her counterpart has been banished, hinting that her level of power would make it dangerous for her counterparts to manifest in the same world at once.
  • Worf Had the Flu: While she manages to turn Superman, Batman, and three Wonder Women into animals, Zatanna notes that the spell was relatively impulsive, making it easier for her to break it.

Harley Quinn

Derek Powers/Blight

  • Not Quite Dead: Derek was rescued from his presumed death by Frieza and later became a member of his Conquerors' Cabal.
  • Theme Naming: Has been paired up with Odalia Blight for this reason, since her last name is Derek's villain name.

Earth-1992B

The setting of the Justice League episode Legends.
     The New Justice Guild 
  • Expy: Much like the original Justice Guild were an homage/tribute to the JSA, the new Guild are meant to be an homage of the original 1980s incarnation of Infinity, Inc..
  • Darker and Edgier: Played with. Blackbird and Ripclaw are shown as being willing to kill, but they do give the marauders they are fighting a chance to surrender, showing they only use lethal force if it's necessary. It's justified by the fact they live on an Earth that is recovering from a nuclear apocalypse.
  • Legacy Character: The team as a whole is this to the deceased members of the original Justice Guild. While the group have differences from their predecessors, they do openly take inspiration from them.

Yvette Khan/Blackbird

  • Expy: She's an expy of the Silver Age-era Black Canary, mixed with a bit of Hawkwoman.
  • Power Gives You Wings: She can manifest wings made of energy.
  • Super-Scream: Like the heroine she homages, she has a supersonic scream, which she uses to attack some marauders.

Felix Huerta/Ripclaw

  • Expy: He's based on the Tom Bronson and Yolanda Montez incarnations of Wildcat, mixed with a bit of Wolverine.
  • Healing Factor: A marauder stabs him in the gut, but Felix easily recovers from it.

Clark Gold/Turbine

  • Expy: He's one of Albert Rothstein, aka Nuklon and Atom Smasher. His appearance (coppery red hair, tanned skin) is also meant to homage Doc Savage.
  • Badass Normal: He's the only member of the new Guild with no innate superpowers.

Hannah Ransome/Hotstreak

  • Expy: Defied in her case. She's not based on an Infinity Inc. member.
  • Super-Speed: She is a speedster, taking up the mantle of the original Streak.
  • Playing with Fire: She is a pyrokinetic.

Alexander "Alex" Yokoi/Midori

  • Bilingual Bonus: "Midori" is Japanese for "green", a nod to his power to create constructs from green light.
  • Expy: He's one of Jennie-Lynn Hayden, aka Jade.

Andrea Yokoi/Kage

  • Bilingual Bonus: "Kage" is the Japanese word for "shadow", a nod to her power to create shadow portals.
  • Expy: She's one of Todd Rice, aka Obsidian.

     Other Characters 

Ray Thompson

Earth-2005

Home to the Batman of The Dark Knight Trilogy.
    Characters 

Bruce Wayne

  • Dented Iron: He took a great deal of damage from fighting Bane. It contributes to his Alternate Self's decision to let him enjoy his peaceful life, since he doesn't want to push him to possibly permanently injure himself.
  • Earn Your Happy Ending: Defends his decision to retire on the grounds of everything he's lost and the changes he's made to Gotham during his time as Batman, an argument that is accepted by his counterpart.
  • Happy Ending Override: Defied. While the Batman of Earth-1992 thought about recruiting his help to find the Joker, he decided to let him be after hearing how great his life is, in particular noting how he refers to himself as Bruce Wayne and not Batman.
  • The One Who Made It Out: So far, he's the only iteration of Bruce Wayne who managed to avoid letting Gotham swallow his soul and life, getting to retire in Paris with his lover Selina instead.
  • The Peter Principle: Another reason why Earth-1992 Batman ultimately decides to let him be - this Bruce Wayne has no experience regarding magic, metahumans or alternate dimensions craziness and as such, would be out of his element if introduced to the multiverse.
  • Retired Badass: As in the trilogy, this Bruce Wayne has fully retired as Batman, with his Earth-1992 counterpart expressing satisfaction at the idea that at least one version of himself gets a happy ending.
  • Shut Up, Hannibal!: His existence allows Earth-1992 Batman to shoot down Earth-99 Wayne's argument that no version of the Dark Knight gets to have a happy ending, since this iteration of Wayne managed to give his all to Gotham, make it better, leave it in his successor's hands and get the girl in the end.
  • Token Human: Courtesy of the Nolanverse's realistic setting, this Bruce has no experience with aliens, magic, or dimension hopping.

Selina Kyle

John Blake/Nightwing

The Joker

  • Villain Cred: The Earth-1992 Joker mentions seeing this Joker when he was travelling across the multiverse, and observed that, while this counterpart was "just makeup and a scarred face", the 1992-Joker admired how "he got the chaos of things and how to enjoy yourself".

  • Everyone Has Standards: While he's done some rather ruthless things to his enemies in the past, he's very disgusted with Robert Queen for attempting to have his pregnant daughter-in-law assassinated.
  • Terms of Endangerment: Downplayed. He sometimes calls Robert Queen "Your Lowness" (A play on "Your Highness") to demonstrate his hate for him.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: While still a more ruthless version of the familiar Superman, he has been working on pulling his punches since the events of Gods and Monsters.

Batman/Kirk Langstrom

  • The Ghost: He's only mentioned by Superman in passing.

  • Named by the Adaptation: Sparkler's real name was unknown in the comics, but here he's named Ernesto Nieves.

Earth-261080

The home of the Teen Titans, who are now just past their teens and called The Titans.

    The Titans 

Dick Grayson/Nightwing (formerly Robin)

Victor Stone/Cyborg

  • Actor Allusion: Dresses up as a Tyrannosaurus with his mechanical parts showing, referring to Grimlock who was voiced by Khary Payton.
  • Official Couple: With Sarah Simms, who he is marrying.
  • Sole Survivor: During the Snap/Dusting/Blip, he was the only member of the core Titans team who survived. Thankfully, he got his friends back soon after due to the heroes' actions in Infinity Crisis.

Garfield Logan/Changeling (formerly Beast Boy)

Koriand'r/Starfire

Raven

Wally West/Kid Flash

Roy Harper/Red Arrow (formerly Speedy)

  • Noodle Incident: He and Green Arrow thought Chemo was going to attack Copenhagen of all places once, though it ended up being a false alarm.
  • Mythology Gag: He insists he was Green Arrow's partner, like during Speedy's sole appearance in the DCAU/Earth-1992.

Pantha

Garth/Aqualad

    Other Superheroes 

Cliff Steele/Robotman

Barbara Gordon

  • Adaptational Sexuality: According to the Eighth Doctor, this version of Barbara is dating Supergirl, meaning she must be something other than heterosexual.
  • Ambiguous Situation: Since all we know about this Barbara is that she's dating Supergirl, it's unclear if she's Batgirl or Oracle.
  • Official Couple: With her world's Supergirl. The only reason we know she exists is because the Eighth Doctor is stated to have mentioned their relationship.

Supergirl

  • Adaptational Sexuality: According to the Eighth Doctor, this version of Supergirl is dating Barbara Gordon, meaning she must be something other than heterosexual.
  • Ambiguous Situation: It's unknown if she's a variant of Kara or not.
  • Official Couple: With her world's Barbara Gordon. The only reason we know she exists is because the Eighth Doctor is stated to have mentioned their relationship.

    Supervillains 

Floyd Lawton/"Dudley Dean"/Deadshot

  • Villainous Rescue: He disabled Chemo for the Titans, but it's because Slade hired him to do it as part of a larger plot.

Chemo

  • Weaksauce Weakness: If one shoots or harms his orb, like Deadshot did, he's forced to retreat back into it.

Slade Wilson

  • Greater-Scope Villain: He's the one behind Chameleon unleashing Chemo at Cyborg and Sarah's wedding, and Deadshot disabling the monster so Cyborg could take it captive to study, which is all part of some unknown larger plan.
  • Real Name as an Alias: He simply goes by "Slade", in contrast to his counterparts, who go by Deathstroke.

    Others 

Sarah Simms

  • Fairy Tale Wedding Dress: While it isn't described in great detail, her wedding gown is described as beautiful and helping her look radiant to Cyborg.
  • Official Couple: To Cyborg, who she is marrying.

Larner

Earth-N52

Home universe to a variant of Triumph.

    Characters 

Triumph/William MacIntyre

  • Take That!: His dialogue in Double Dragon implies he's from the mainstream DC Universe from the comics, and it takes a jab at DC's constant rewriting and rebooting of its universe's history to the point where it's now a "big fat incomprehensible mess".
  • Un-person: Due to his native universe's endless reboots and changes to its canon, he is seemingly no longer remembered by anyone from his native universe. According to the author's notes at the end of Double Dragon, no one in his native universe is actually completely sure if he even exists or not because it has no consistent canon anymore.

Earth-X

The world where the Nazis won World War 2 as shown in the Arrowverse.
