The Green Lantern Corps
Abin Sur
Abin Sur
Voiced by: Peter Mark Richman
Appearances: Superman: The Animated Series
The predecessor of Kyle Rayner, who chose Kyle to replace him as Green Lantern of Sector 2814 on his deathbed.
- Adaptation Origin Connection: As a result of Kyle Rayner borrowing traits from Hal Jordan in this continuity, Abin Sur is now Kyle Rayner's predecessor and the reason he became part of the Green Lantern Corps, when the comics had Ganthet give Rayner a ring during a time where the Corps was disbanded.
- Dies Differently in Adaptation: This continuity establishes that Abin Sur was dying because of Sinestro, when the Emerald Dawn miniseries established that a villain called Legion was to blame for Abin Sur's mortal injuries (which was retconned away after the original run of the DCAU when the "Secret Origin" arc of the Geoff Johns run on the Green Lantern comic instead established that Abin Sur was mortally wounded by Atrocitus, future founder and leader of the Red Lantern Corps).
- I'm Dying, Please Take My MacGuffin: Follows his comic counterpart's fate of giving his ring to a successor while on his last legs, though his successor here is Kyle Rayner rather than Hal Jordan.
Arkkis Chummuck
Arkkis Chummuck
Voiced by: Michael Rosenbaum (uncredited)
Appearances: Superman: The Animated Series | Justice League
Arkkis Chumuck was a Green Lantern who was called to John Stewart's trial in "In Blackest Night".
- Back for the Dead: He returns in "Hearts and Minds" just to get killed off.
- Dies Differently in Adaptation: His comic counterpart sacrificed himself to defeat Maaldor, while this incarnation instead meets his end at the hands of Despero's invasion fleet.
- Wolf Man: It would be understandable to mistake him at first glance for a werewolf version of Hal Jordan.
Galius Zed
Galius Zed
Voiced by: René Auberjonois
Appearances: Justice League
Galiuz Zed was a Green Lantern who was called to John Stewart's trial in "In Blackest Night".
- Back for the Dead: He resurfaces in "Hearts and Minds", only to perish.
- Cephalothorax: He is a giant head with limbs.
- Dies Differently in Adaptation: His comics counterpart was killed by Fatality, while this continuity has Galius Zed die at the hands of Despero's invasion fleet.
Katma Tui
Katma Tui
Voiced by: Kim Mai Guest
Appearances: Superman: The Animated Series | Justice League
Katma Tui was a Green Lantern, and trainer of new recruits to the Corps. She had a brief, romantic relationship with John Stewart.
- Adaptation Dye-Job: Here, she's orange-skinned. In the comics, she's got magenta skin.
- Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: In the source material, she and John were an Official Couple and even married, with their relationship coming to an end when Carol Ferris killed Katma. Here, she and John only had a brief fling with John instead having a relationship with Hawkgirl.
- Costume Evolution: In Unlimited, she took to wearing a custom uniform after her earlier appearances featured her wearing the same GL uniform John wears.
- Green-Skinned Space Babe: Orange-skinned.
- Interspecies Romance: She (a Korugarian) had a brief romance with John (a human).
- Mentor: To most of the other Green Lanterns. John Stewart even compares her to Yoda at one point.
- Ms. Fanservice: In her first appearance, she wears a regular Green Lantern uniform. When she reappears in "The Return", she is wearing a sexier, customized version of the outfit. And in "Hearts and Minds", she dons a rather Stripperific "priestess" outfit.
- Sexy Mentor: To John Stewart.
- Shout-Out: Her "priestess" outfit is basically the infamous slave Leia costume in everything but name.
- Spared by the Adaptation: She was killed by Star Sapphire in the comics, while this incarnation of her is still alive by her final appearance.
- Stern Teacher: She is not particularly warm or kind when training her students.
- Teacher/Student Romance: It is all but said out loud that she had one with John while training him as a Green Lantern. She asks John if he still snores, and while there are non-sexual ways a mentor could learn that, her tone implies that is very much not the case.
Kilowog
Kilowog
Voiced by: Dennis Haysbert (most appearances), Kevin Michael Richardson (Justice League Vs. The Fatal Five)
Kilowog was a member of the Green Lantern Corps.
- Ace Custom: Interestingly, he is given an upgraded Green Lantern armor uniform when he goes to confront AMAZO, even though GL uniforms are explicitly mental constructs.
- Adaptational Nice Guy: In contrast to most versions of the character, Kilowog is the most kind-hearted of the Corps members shown.
- Art Evolution: He underwent this, as his face got redesigned along with his custom uniform in Unlimitednote and his design in Vs. the Fatal Five is basically a 2-D version of his Green Lantern: The Animated Series design. Even the hologram
◊ from the Superman: The Animated Series episode "In Brightest Day" looks a bit different from his JL design. - Big Eater: Even moreso than the Flash.
- Costume Evolution: In Superman: TAS and Justice League, he wore the same uniform as Kyle and John did in those series. During his brief appearance in Unlimited, he took to wearing an armored costume, and in Vs. The Fatal Five, he's wearing his Green Lantern: The Animated Series costume.
- Early Installment Character-Design Difference: His Early-Bird Cameo in the Superman: The Animated Series episode "In Brightest Day" depicts him with a squashier face, a smaller chin and black sclera with white pupils.
- The Engineer: His other skill outside of his Green Lantern powers. In "Hearts and Minds", he is able to rapidly construct a carbon bomb with relative ease.
- Extreme Omnivore: At one point, he eats a videotape, proclaiming it to be delicious.
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: He is badly impaled by the Emerald Empress during his fight with Validus. Fortunately, none of his vital organs were hurt and he survived, according to Word of God.
- Mythology Gag: His redesign in Vs. The Fatal Five is based off of his design in Green Lantern: The Animated Series and Kevin Michael Richardson even reprises the role.
- Odd Friendship: With Flash. They bond over their mutual friendship with John Stewart, their wise-cracking personalities, and their love of food.
- Pig Man: He's an alien with a somewhat porcine appearance. This makes Flash inviting him to a bratwurst cookout all the more hilarious.
- Redemption Earns Life: Notably in "Blackest Night", he was the only member of the Green Lantern Corps to speak up for and defend John Stewart's character during his trial (albeit after some convincing from Hawkgirl). Later in "Hearts and Minds", several of his colleagues are killed in battle while he is spared and would go on to become a semi-regular Recurring Character.
Other Heroes
Captain Marvel
Captain Marvel (Billy Batson)
Voiced by: Jerry O'Connell (Marvel), Shane Haboucha (Billy)
Captain Marvel was a superhero who protected Fawcett City, and a former member of the Justice League.
- Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: As Captain Marvel was only able to make one appearance in the series, he and Superman aren't able to become closer friends like they are in the comics and things end on a very sour note between them with no resolution or reconciliation. One can only hope that things got better between the two heroes off-screen.
- Ascended Fanboy: He openly admits to idolizing the Justice Leaguers (especially Superman) before briefly joining himself.
- Broken Pedestal: Superman's paranoid behavior during Marvel's time on the Justice League makes him lose a lot of respect for someone that he once idolized.
- The Cameo: In Justice League vs. The Fatal Five, a statue of him appears in the superhero museum in the 31st century.
- The Cape: Is arguably an even bigger archetype of this trope than Superman himself, much to the latter's annoyance.
- Horrible Judge of Character: He truly believed Lex Luthor has turned over a new leaf. Of course, Marvel would have wanted to use reasonable means to find out the truth if Lex hasn't unlike Superman's approach in destroying Lexor City and have the truth be exposed front and center.
- Manchild: He comes off like this towards the rest of the League sometimes (who are unaware that his secret identity is a child).
- Nice Guy: His cheerful and positive attitude rubs off so warmly on the Justice League that even Batman takes a liking to him.
- Older Alter Ego: Billy is a child while his superhero persona Captain Marvel is a full-grown adult.
- The Pollyanna: Has a rather sunny and optimistic approach to being a superhero.
- Shock and Awe: He can use the magical lightning he uses to transform himself between Marvel and Billy as a weapon, like when he held down Superman so he could be struck by it.
- Unwitting Pawn: Of a Batman Gambit that Lex Luthor and Cadmus performed on Superman to make him look bad in public.
- Wide-Eyed Idealist: He's far far towards the ideal end of the Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism. Justified since he is actually only a young child beneath his superhero exterior.
- What the Hell, Hero?: Delivers a fairly brutal one towards Superman after the latter destroyed Lexor City during their fight. He also announces his resignation from the Justice League in the same speech. Superman is crushed.
Hawkman
Hawkman (Carter Hall)
Voiced by: James Remar
Appearances: Justice League Unlimited
"My real name is Katar Hol. But you can call me...Hawkman."
Hawkman, also known as the archaeologist Carter Hall, is a man who claims that he is the reincarnation of an ancient Thanagarian who became emperor of Egypt and that Shayera's past life was his lover. Well intentioned, but a bit creepy given his obsessive attitude. He dons a pair of artificial wings and Thanagarian battle armor, apparently fighting crime.
- Adaptational Nice Guy: The comic version of Hawkman is an extremely aggressive, bloodthirsty brute of a man, though still heroic. This version is quite mellow and friendly.
- Adventure Archaeologist: His day job is exploring old tombs and evading traps.
- Ancient Astronauts: His past life landed in Egypt, taught them agriculture and started conquering the nearby lands to bring civilization. Without them, Earth probably would not be as advanced as it is today.
- Badass Bookworm: He's just an archaeologist, but when he touches the Absorbicron he decides he's the reincarnation of a Thanagarian, builds some artificial wings for himself and begins fighting crime. He even seems to be pretty good at it, capturing a magician who was giving John trouble.
- The Cloud Cuckoolander Was Right: It is mentioned that he lost much of his credibility in the archaeology field when he began proclaiming his Thanagarian Ancient Astronauts theory and even Hawkgirl thinks he is delusional when he insists that they are the reincarnations of the ancient Thanagarians. Then in "Ancient History", the Shadow Thief reveals that his claims were right all along.
- Composite Character: Katar Hol, the Silver Age Hawkman, is Carter's past life, which would be Ret-Canon to indeed be the case in 2018. The Shadow Thief is also his dark side split off.
- Crazy Jealous Guy: Subverted. When Shadow Thief tells him to kill his rival Green Lantern, it looks as though he's going to do it. However, Carter simply uses the axe he was given to free John from his restraints.
- Decomposite Character: Turns out he is not Shayera's destined lover reincarnated, John Stewart is. Shayera and Hawkman were married in a previous life and were fond of eachother, but Shayera's true (and secret) love was John (who was also Hawkman's best friend, ouch).
- Driven to Suicide: When Katar Hol realized his advisor has poisoned Past Shayera and John, he committed suicide himself out of grief.
- Expy Coexistence: With Hro Talak, a villainous version of Katar Hol (note that his name's an anagram), who was created/renamed after DC vetoed making Hawkman evil, and thus appeared several seasons before the "real" one did. Both happen to be big handsome black-haired men, but Hro Talak has a scarred face and his hawk mask has black accents akin to Hawkgirl's.
- Flight: He wears a pair of artificial wings strapped to his chest that allow him to fly.
- I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: After discovering the true history between Katar Hol, Chay-Ara Hol, and Bashari, he quickly apologizes to Shayera and leaves, realizing that she is destined to be together with Green Lantern.
- Meaningful Rename: He used to be a man named Joseph Gardner, but when an ancient ship's log showed him his past lives he legally changed his name to Carter Hall, which sounds almost the same as Katar Hol.
- Mr. Fanservice: He's buff as hell and wears tights. Shirts? Never heard of 'em.
- Mythology Gag: His original name is a nod to writer Gardner Fox and artist Joe Kubert who co-created the Silver Age Hawkman. Fox also co-created the Golden Age version with a different artist.
- Nice Guy: He may be a stalker, but he actually is a good guy and genuinely heroic.
- Reincarnation: He's probably the reincarnation of an ancient Thananagarian police officer.
- Romantic Runner-Up: A nice guy, but Shayera is also interested in John Stewart. When he learns how the relationship of their past lives ended, he leaves peacefully, telling her he has no intention of getting in their way.
- Reincarnation Romance: Subverted. It's strongly implied that he's right about his past life with Shayera, but the relationship had already fallen apart due to Katar Hol's refusal for intimacy.
- Ret-Canon: The idea of Katar being among Carter's past lives would be imported to comics canon in the 2018 Hawkman series.
- Stalking is Love: Though he tends to creep some people out, he genuinely loves Shayera and wants what is best for her. When he realizes he's making her uncomfortable he gracefully backs off until she feels she's ready. When it becomes clear she never will be, he gives up. For her part, she ignores that he's an obvious stalker until he starts babbling about reincarnation and seems to think he's at least somewhat attractive.
- Walking Shirtless Scene: Just like in the comics.
- Winged Humanoid: With a pair of artificially constructed wings.
Deadman
Deadman (Boston Brand)
Voiced by: Raphael Sbarge
Appearances: Justice League Unlimited
"When I'm working, people call me 'Deadman'."
Deadman, real name Boston Brand, was a wandering spirit.
- Alliterative Name: Boston Brand.
- Back from the Dead: Boston Brand was a circus performer who was murdered during a circus act, and consequently forced to dwell in the Earthly realm as a ghost.
- Barred from the Afterlife: Kinda. He can visit, but he never stick around.
- Demonic Possession: Deadman is capable of possessing any mortal being; upon which he could completely control their actions and be in possession of their memories and powers, while they retain no recollection of the happening.
- Did I Say That Out Loud: In the tie-in comics, when he possesses Wonder Woman again at one point, he comments out loud that he looks hot as Wonder Woman. To everyone else, it looks like Diana is the one who's saying it. He realizes this right afterwards.
- Hollywood New England: Well, his name is Boston and he certainly sports the accent.
- Intangibility: As a ghost, Deadman can also pass through physical objects.
- Invisible to Normals: He cannot be visibly perceived by other human beings.
- Meaningful Name: As a ghost, you don't get any more meaningful than "Deadman".
- My God, What Have I Done?: When Devil Ray attempts to shoot Wonder Woman, he quickly possesses Batman, picks up a gun, and shoots Devil Ray, accidentally knocking the latter into electrical wires and killing him. This action is rather traumatic for both him and Batman.
- Our Ghosts Are Different: He's a ghost invisible and inaudible to the living whose only means of interacting with the mortal world is by possessing people.
- Roaring Rampage of Revenge: After the Legion destroys the Buddhist Temple he was training at and kills the Master.
- Thou Shalt Not Kill: His memory of his Master's teachings convince him to spare Devil Ray's life. He later unintentionally does it anyway.
- You Killed My Father: His motivation for getting revenge on the Legion of Doom and Devil Ray specifically.
Huntress
Huntress (Helena Bertinelli)
Voiced by: Amy Acker
Abilities: martial artist, crossbow
Appearances: Justice League Unlimited | Batman: The Adventures Continue | Justice League vs. The Fatal Fivenote
Formerly the sheltered daughter of a mob boss, she became a vigilante in response to his betrayal and murder. She was inducted along with all the other heroes in the first episode of Unlimited, but after she violated the League's rule about attempting to murder villains, she became a Sixth Ranger who helped out her friends in the League.
- Adaptation Origin Connection: Inverted. She has no connection to Batman or the Batfamily other than the Mythology Gags towards her and Black Canary being members of the Birds of Prey. J'onn is the one who tells her off for attempting to kill a criminal, whereas Batman would've been the one doing it in the source material. It's mentioned in the Batman: The Adventures Continue comic that Batman doesn't like her either for her trigger-happy methods.
- Adaptational Nice Guy: While still an Anti-Hero, she's more heroic here than in the comics, especially after she resolves her issues with Mandragora.
- All Women Are Lustful: She almost always interacts with the Question in a very suggestive way, and some of those interactions tend to imply sexual fantasies.
- Anti-Hero: A little too 'anti' for the League, especially since her first major appearance involves her trying to murder Mandragora while sleeping in his home. She's half Type III, half Type V.
- Automatic Crossbows: She carried an automatic miniature crossbow that she wielded with incredible ease and accuracy, as well as a retractable bo staff and other equipment used to bypass security measures.
- The Bad Guy Wins: In Season 2 Issue 3 of Batman: The Adventures Continue, Batgirl can't sway Huntress from trying to kill Jazzman, but at least convinces her to let her turn him in first so that Batman can use him as a clue in his investigation on Black Mask. Afterwards, she enters his jail cell disguised as a police officer and kills him.
- Badass Biker: Her preferred method of transportation.
- Badass Normal: She is a world class athlete, gymnast and martial artist, capable of disarming and defeating multiple armed opponents (however, she was slightly less skilled than Black Canary).
- Battle Couple: With the Question. They casually discuss dating plans while kicking butt.
- Blood Knight: After helping Black Canary shut down Roulette's underground metahuman brawl operation, she goads the former into going a few rounds in the cage themselves, to see who's the better fighter.
- The Cameo: In Justice League vs. The Fatal Five, a statue of her appears in the superhero museum in the 31st century.
- Dark and Troubled Past: Helena Bertinelli was the daughter of Mafia crime boss and mobster Franco Bertinelli. As a child, she saw her mother and father murdered by Steven Mandragora, who lusted for power. This event sparked her desire for revenge as, years later in her adult life, she would train herself to become the costumed vigilante known as the Huntress.
- Dark Is Not Evil: Her vigilante costume is mostly black and purple and while she's an Anti-Hero, she's still on the side of good.
- Deadpan Snarker: Constantly makes snide and sarcastic remarks even on the people she works with, or otherwise needs the help of.
- Early Installment Character-Design Difference: In earlier episodes when she was just The Cameo, her design was different (ex. white eyes instead of showing her eyes).
- Fire-Forged Friends: With Black Canary. The two initially butt heads and view each other as obstacles, but they seem to hang out together after the Mandragora case. Although they spend that time insulting each other, Huntress shows concern when Canary seems to be troubled by personal issues (and the Question lampshades how she seems concerned about her rival despite the two appearing to despise each other) and tries to help her. After Huntress helps Canary break out of Roulette's mind control, the two share a genuine moment before going back to insulting each other and sparring for fun.
- The Friend Nobody Likes: A trait she shares with the Question. She has a considerably poor reputation among members of the League with the last straw involving Mandragora resulting in her membership being revoked. Even Black Canary, probably her closest friend besides the Question, mainly gets into physical fights along side her.
- Heel Realization: She finally realizes how low she has fallen when Mandragora is revealed to have a son of his own. Huntress then refuses to become the same kind of monster that would kill a parent in front of an innocent child.
- I Work Alone: She accepts this mentality after being kicked out of the League, turning down Dinah's offer to appeal to the League to reinstate her.
- Leotard of Power: With a great big cut-out in the torso because apparently the regular kind wasn't sexy enough.
- Lonely Together: Implied to be the bedrock of her relationship with the Question. He was the only one who tried to help her resolve her personal vendettas and actually treats her respectfully, mainly because he's also seen as a crazed loner Anti-Hero who doesn't play nice with other members of the League.
- Mafia Princess: Was one of these — and did not know. She finds out the hard way.
- Most Common Super Power: She has a very large bust.
- Ms. Fanservice: Huntress is a very beautiful woman who wears a costume that highlights her figure. She doesn't get the amount of in-universe attention that Wonder Woman or Black Canary do, but the camera does develop Male Gaze when she's in an episode.
- Mythology Gag: The Birds of Prey don't exist in the DCAU and neither does her connection to Batman, though she still has her Fire-Forged Friendship with Black Canary and butts head with Batgirl in the Batman: The Adventures Continue comic.
- Official Couple: Huntress and Question became lovers, and also an unofficial team.
- She-Fu: Well, she is a world-class gymnast.
- Sleeps in the Nude: The 19th issue of Batman & Robin Adventures has a story about her that predates her Justice League appearances, with two panels showing her in bed with no clothes on.
- Strong Girl, Smart Guy: With the Question, as she acts as the muscle while he mainly does detective work.
- Thou Shalt Not Kill: Tried to avert this, which is why J'onn kicks her out of the League.
- Tsundere: Towards the Question. Between snarking at his sleuthing tendencies, she's also kindly to him in tender moments, even calling him "Baby".
- Violently Protective Girlfriend: Huntress is this for Question. If he's working at a console, you can expect her brutally beating guards into unconsciousness in his defense. When the Question was tortured by Cadmus, she nearly outright murdered his torturer until she was recalled by Superman.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: Originally, she regarded Black Canary as an interfering obstacle; after Canary helped with the Mandragora capture, they reached a rapport.
The Justice Guild of America
The Justice Guild of America
Voiced by: David Naughton (Streak), Jennifer Hale (Black Siren), Stephen Root (Catman), Ted McGinley (Tom Turbine), William Katt (Green Guardsman)
Appearances: Justice League
A group of heroes from a comic that turned out to be based on real-life events in another universe.
- Adaptational Heroism: Catman’s headstone has his name as “T.Blake”, suggesting that he’s a heroic version of Thomas Blake, who at the time in the comics was a villain. Blake previously appeared in The New Batman Adventures as a non-costumed leader of a cat cult, so Catman here might be an Alternate Self.
- Canon Immigrant: Into other DC material.
- In The Flash (2014), "the Streak" is the Flash's initial nickname by Iris early on in Season 1 until he is finally dubbed the Flash.
- In Arrow, the Earth-Two metahuman version of Dinah Laurel Lance uses the name, Black Siren, instead of Black Canary, who is her Earth-One counterpart.
- Composite Character: Catman is a villain in the comics, but here is combined with Batman and Wildcat to make a more heroic character.
- Dead All Along: The real Justice Guild died forty years ago when their world descended into nuclear war. The "Justice Guild" encountered by our heroes are illusory copies created by Ray.
- Deliberate Values Dissonance: The Streak compliments Green Lantern with a You Are a Credit to Your Race and Black Siren embraces the Stay in the Kitchen mentality. It rubs our modern day heroes the wrong way, but they understand that this is a byproduct of the Justice Guild being written in the 1950s and don't argue about it (although Hawkgirl is about to refuse to get dessert before the doorbell rings, signaling a visit from a police sergeant who’s friendly with the Justice Guild). Their actions also qualify as Fair for Its Day In-Universe: despite displaying attitudes that appear casually sexist and racist by modern conventions, these retro superheroes never display malicious prejudice toward Green Lantern or Hawkgirl and value their commitment to help out, never treating them as anything less than equals.
- Expy: Of the Golden Age Justice Society of America, who don't seem to exist in this continuity since no one brings them up in relation to the Justice Guild nor does anyone act like there was a previous superhero team before the Justice League.
- The Streak is an analogue to Jay Garrick, the first Flash, with a footall helmet replacing the winged helmet of the messenger god Mercury.
- Tom Turbine is a composite character of Golden Age Superman (aside from bearing a physical resemblance with the spit curl and T chest insignia, his powers are limited to super-strength and the ability to jump very high), the first Hourman (being a scientific genius who gains his powers through an invention of his, albeit an energy belt instead of Miraclo pills), and Al Pratt, the original Atom (wearing a blue and yellow costume and relying on his fists).
- Green Guardsman is a pastiche of Alan Scott, the first Green Lantern, with the differences of his entire costume being green instead of just his pants, chest insignia and the inside of his cape as well as his ring having no power over aluminum instead of wood.
- Catman is a composite character of Wildcat (being a cat-themed hero on a team of Justice Society expies) and Adam West's Batman (having his jovial personality).
- Black Siren is an ersatz of Dinah Drake Lance, the first Black Canary, as well as the Golden Age Wonder Woman, who was only a secretary to the Justice Society in the Golden Age.
- Expy Coexistence: Black Siren and Catman's respective inspirations Black Canary and Wildcat would later make appearances in Justice League Unlimited, with the Streak's inspiration the Jay Garrick Flash, the Green Guardsman's inspiration the Alan Scott Green Lantern and Tom Turbine's inspirations Hourman and the Al Pratt Atom being featured in the tie-in comics.
- Girly Girl: Black Siren is into baking cookies and other feminine hobbies that were acceptable in the 1950's and suggests to Hawkgirl (the only female Leaguer in the episode) that they leave the men to talk among themselves while they bake cookies together. Hawkgirl, being an Action Girl, naturally doesn’t take the suggestion well.
- Heroic Sacrifice: They defeat Ray Thompson to free their world from his psychic illusions, even though they themselves are an illusion that would disappear if Ray were to be incapacitated. They succeed.
- Mythology Gag: Black Siren's secret identity is Donna Vance, similar to the first two Black Canaries' names, Dinah Lance. Catman's secret identity is T. Blake, a reference to the Batman villain Catman, whose secret identity was Thomas Blake. Green Guardsman's secret identity is Scott Mason, referencing Alan Scott, the first Green Lantern.
- Superman Substitute: Tom Turbine is partially influenced by Golden Age Superman, having the appearance of a well-chiseled man with a spit curl and a chest insignia of his name's first letter in addition to a similar powerset of primarily having superhuman strength and the ability to jump very high.
- Take That!: The show doesn't hesitate to make fun of them for representing values that would be seen as offensive today yet seen as acceptable in the 1950's, like Black Siren embracing the Stay in the Kitchen belief (a jab at Wonder Woman only being a secretary to the Justice Society back in the Golden Age) and the Streak calling Green Lantern, an African-American man, a "credit to [his] race."
- Weaksauce Weakness: The Green Guardsman's ring has no power over aluminum, which is similar to how his inspiration the Golden Age Green Lantern Alan Scott's ring was useless against wood.
- You Are a Credit to Your Race: The Streak says this to Green Lantern, who is a black man. He does find it offensive, but gets the spirit of the message since they were written from a more racially segregated time.
The Flash I (Jay Garrick)
The Flash (Jay Garrick)
The first Flash. Appears only in the tie-in comics and the Justice League Beyond comic.
- Ascended to a Higher Plane of Existence: He joined the Speed Force with Wally and Bart sometime after Justice League Unlimited.
- The Cameo: His helmet can be seen at the Flash museum in "Flash and Substance".
- Dude, Where's My Respect?: Downplayed. When he is invited to an elementary school as a guest, a disrespectful bratty boy dismisses him as less than the "real" Flash (Wally) and wants to see that one. During the events of the story, Jay gets called away to help the League when Wally gets incapacitated, and the story ends with the "real" Flash lecturing the boy about respecting Jay.
- Expy Coexistence: He appears in the tie-in comics after the cartoon used a pastiche of him in Justice Guild member the Streak.
- The Mentor: To some extent to Wally.
- Schrödinger's Canon: As the tie-in comics and the Batman Beyond continuation comic are dubiously canon, it's not clear if he really does exist in the DCAU or not. However, his helmet is seen on display at the Flash museum in "Flash and Substance", so it can be assumed that he does exist.
Old West Heroes
From right to left: Ohiyesa Smith, El Diablo, Batlash Bart, Jonah Hex
Voiced by: Jonathan Joss (Ohiyesa Smith) Nestor Carbonell (El Diablo) Ben Browder (Batlash Bart) Adam Baldwin (Jonah Hex)
Appearances: Justice League Unlimited
A posse of heroes from the old west who Batman, Green Lantern, and Wonder Woman ally with in the episode Weird Western Tales when a outlaw uses technology stolen from a future time traveller to subjugate a town.
- Proto-Superhero: All of them are technically predecesors to the modern varity of superheroes, but El Diablo's outfit is the closest to what would come to be commonly worn by superheroes in the years to come.
- Superhero Packing Heat: Being from the cowboy era, all of them are armed with guns.
The Legion of Super-Heroes
See Superman: The Animated Series – AlliesOthers
King Faraday
Agent King Faraday
Voiced by: Scott Patterson
Appearances: Justice League Unlimited
A federal agent who often assists the Justice League. He was assigned to provide protection to mob boss Steven Mandragora, who supposedly wanted to leave organized crime, until it was revealed that he was simply biding time to secure to safe passage of his son into the United States. By the final season, he's made an official liaison of the Justice League to the US.
- Expy: Fills a very similar role to Steve Trevor in the comics.
- Friend on the Force: Given how government workers and agents are usually distrustful of the League, it's refreshing to see that he has little problem with them. So long as they don't do what like. Like hitting mob bosses under witness protection, for example.
- Punny Name: King Faraday is a play on "king for a day". Of course, he gets to keep that name forever.
- Shout-Out: Uses the line, "goldbricking yahoos" in "To Another Shore", which is a Nick Fury turn of phrase.
- Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?: Good luck nailing down what agency he works for. He switches from witness protection (US Marshals) to bodyguarding the Vice President (Secret Service) when not being the JLA's liaison. To be fair, this is a quirk of government agencies in the comics, like APES and the CBI.
Linda Park
Linda Park
Voiced by: Kim Mai Guest
Appearances: Justice League Unlimited
A reporter in Central City.
- Adaptation Personality Change: In the comics, Linda was more serious in contrast to Wally's goofiness and actually didn't particularly like him as the Flash when they first met. Here, she's a fan of him, and ironically, Flash is initially oblivious to her advances due to focusing on a mission.
- First Girl Wins: As far as we know, she's the Flash's first real romance and claims this to Giganta, who's been trying to date Flash ever since the ending of Unlimited. Between the two girls, Flash sticks with Linda.
- Is This Thing Still On?: Thinking that the camera is off, she talks to her camerawoman about how Flash is "like, the entire track team at once". Only after she says that does her camerawoman tell her that the camera was still running, causing her to facepalm in embarrassment.
- Two-Person Love Triangle: According to the Red Justice young reader's book, Wally tried dating her, but she broke up with him when she thought that he wasn't committal.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: She brings a pocket mirror to the Flash Museum so she can check her makeup. She wasn't counting on Mirror Master and the other Flash rogues to use it to get the drop on everyone through it.
Snapper Carr
A news reporter that always appears during one of the Justice League's major battles.
- Intrepid Reporter: He's been reporting dangers up close and personal ever since the Imperium invasion.
- Only Sane Man: In "A Better World", outside of Lois, Snapper does not speak about or visibly support the Justice League's {Justice Lords) actions on Doomsday, implying that he's aware that something is wrong.
Steve Trevor
Steve Trevor
Voiced by: Patrick Duffy
Appearances: Justice League
An American spy stationed in Europe during World War II. When the Justice League went back in time to stop Vandal Savage and change back the course of history, Wonder Woman rescued him from a plummeting plane.
- Mayfly–December Romance: Diana is immortal, and in the present day, Steve is an old man in a retirement home.
- Mythology Gag: He is Diana's love interest in the source material.
Tracy Simmons
Dr. Tracy Simmons
Voiced by: Lori Loughlin
Appearances: Justice League Unlimited
A physicist for S.T.A.R. Labs.
- Canon Foreigner: She was created for the show.
- Determinator: You have to hand it to Dr. Simmons, she went out of her way to help save Dr. Brown and the city from his freak powers. Regardless of whether or not Booster Gold was there.
- So much so that, according to her HeroClix card, she has the Willpower ability named as "We Need to Save Dr. Brown".
- Did Not Get the Girl: Played with. Booster spends a large chunk of the episode pining after Dr. Simmons, but after Booster stops the black hole, Skeets detects a rush of attraction from Dr. Simmons towards Booster, but Booster doesn't act on it, saying that only heroes get the girl in the end and having concluded that he isn't a hero. However, Dr. Simmons meets up with him at the end of the episode to ask him on a date herself.
- Gadgeteer Genius: She apparently was the one who was working on the gravity inhibitor ring to secure Dr. Brown's powers.
- Nice Girl: She cares about her boss and Booster.
- Not That Kind of Doctor: When encountering a women in labor, Booster Gold looks to Dr. Tracy Simmons since "your a doctor." Tracy clarifies that she is a physicist.
- One-Shot Character: She only appears in "The Greatest Story Never Told".
Mophir
Mophir
Voiced by: Tracey Walter
Appearances: Justice League
A strange old man guarding a mysterious crystal known as the Heart of Darkness, an Ophidian artifact.
- Anti-Villain: He's trying to guard the Heart of Darkness so that the Ophidians can't possess anyone, but his inability to explain this to everyone due to having gone crazy results in people not listening to him, which predictably results in the opposite of what he's trying to accomplish.
- Fish out of Temporal Water: He's been around since ancient times. Flash gets him to become a commercial spokesman partially to help him adjust to modern society.
- Poor Communication Kills: Since he's gone senile from all those years guarding the Heart of Darkness, people dismiss his hostility as him being crazy and he doesn't bother explaining his actions in a way that the others can understand. When the Heart of Darkness possesses Diana, he attacks her in public, which makes him seem like a villain.
- Spared by the Adaptation: He was killed in the source material.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: What happened to him after "Eclipsed" is unknown. Maybe his acting career took off.
Hippolyta
Queen Hippolyta of Themyscira
Voiced by: Susan Sullivan
Appearances: Justice League
The Queen of the Amazons and the ruler of Themyscira, as well as the mother of Princess Diana of Themyscira, AKA, Wonder Woman.
- Lawful Stupid: At the end of "Paradise Lost," though Diana only did so in order to save the Amazons from Faust and Hades, Hippolyta, though not happy about it, abides by the laws of Themyscira and exiles her for bringing the male members of the Justice League to the island. By the time of "The Balance," she changes her mind and lifts it.
- The Load: In "Fury", while she at first helps Hawkgirl figure out what's going on, she then promptly falls into this. She, the Queen of Amazons, manages to lose a fight to Aresia (a young Amazon who implicitly was still in training) and gets taken hostage, which slows down Hawkgirl and Diana. She eventually breaks free of imprisonment, but her attempt to talk Aresia down fails (and reveals that Hippolyta is at least partially to blame for the episode's conflict; see Poor Communication Kills below) and she's promptly kicked out of the jet, forcing the heroes to spend time saving her before they can actually focus on Aresia and the missiles.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The Amazons' heavy matriarchal emphasis results in Aresia wildly taking it as men being a pest that must be destroyed, which could have been prevented if Hippolyta had told her that a man gave up his life to save her and bring her to Themyscira, which she refrained because she didn't think it mattered. By the time Hippolyta tells Aresia this, Aresia has gone too far to care about it anymore. Hippolyta realizes her mistake.
- Poor Communication Kills: Best shown in the "Fury" two-parter. Aresia, the Villain of the Week, was induced into the Amazons and trained in their code after her homeland was not only ravaged by male soldiers, but the ship she was on was attacked and sank by male pirates. Her life was saved by a male captain, and he got her to Themyscira before dying; while Hippolyta gave him a proper burial and took her in, she withheld his role in Aresia's survival because she felt he wasn't important. Over the years, Aresia's hatred of men festers to the point she attempts Gendercide, and only then does Hippolyta reveal this information; by that point, Aresia's beyond caring, reasoning that one man's act of kindness doesn't change anything, and continues with her plan.
- Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!/Screw the Rules, I Make Them!: She's forced to exile her daughter for bringing men to the island, despite their help, by the Gods' decree. But at the end of "The Balance", she missed her daughter so much that she decided to lift the exile after Diana and Shayera restored balance. She's ready to face any consequence for doing so.
- The Worf Effect: While it could be said that her daughter stealing her Armor of Invincibility accounts for some of her lackluster performance on screen, this still doesn't make up for the fact that a figure who once gave Heracles difficulty somehow ends up being both useless in battle and at times if not often a Damsel in Distress.
Audrey
Princess/Queen Audrey of Kaznia
Voiced by: Dorie Barton
Appearances: Justice League
The princess (later, queen) of Kaznia and the daughter of King Gustav.
- Hard-Drinking Party Girl: Spends a lot of her debut as this as her final "bang" before she gets married and becomes queen.
- Missing Mom: Her mother presumably passed away sometime ago, as she's not mentioned.
General Wells
General Wells
Voiced by: Kevin Michael Richardson
Appearances: Justice League
A US Army General that serves as a foil to the Justice League in regards to extraterrestrial matters big enough to involve the government. While not fully antagonistic as other generals on the show, he is very concerned about relying too much on Superman or the Justice League. His cynicism often clashes with the League but he’s proven right more than once.
- The Brigadier: Serves as this for the first two seasons before Cadmus comes into focus.
- Cassandra Truth: In both of his major appearances, he warns against putting too much trust in Superman’s ability to save the world unilaterally and the good intentions of the Thanagarians though his superiors ignore his advice. He’s proven right both times.
- Expy: Fills the role of the military leader that distrusts the heroes, not unlike General Hardcastle in Superman: The Animated Series and later Eilling in subsequent seasons though Wells never reaches the level of antagonism that either adopt towards the League.
- Jerkass Has a Point: He criticizes the idea of having Superman deweaponize the world’s militaries, noting they’re putting too much faith in his ability to unilaterally stop global threats. He’s immediately proven right when the world is dangerously ill-prepared for the Imperium invasion.
- Properly Paranoid: He explicitly states he doesn’t believe the Thanagarians have Earth’s best interests at heart. When they turn on the Justice League, he isn’t even surprised.
- Small Role, Big Impact: It’s his speech post-Imperium invasion that convinces Batman to build the Watchtower and provide the impetus for the Justice League to form.
- Whatever Happened to the Mouse?: He’s never seen again following the Thanagarian invasion, his role on the show being filled by General Eilling and Cadmus in following seasons.
Hath-Set
Hath-Set
Voiced by: Héctor Elizondo
Appearances: Justice League Unlimited
The Grand Vizier serving in the royal court of Katar and Chay-Ara Hol. Contrary to his original portrayal as a recurring antagonist to the Hawks, Hath-Set is a loyal servant of Hawkman in this series, to a fault.
- Adaptational Heroism: Instead of serving as a recurring antagonist to Hawkman like he is in the comics, he is Hawkman's loyal chancellor, and his one evil deed comes from a misguided interpretation of Katar's wishes.
- The Good Chancellor: Deconstructed. Every warning he makes to Katar Hol of Chay-Ara's infidelity proves true, and he remains loyal to his king's every wish... even a wish made in anger.
- My God, What Have I Done?: When he hears the anguish and then death of his king, the look on his face in his last appearance is that of shock and regret.
- Overzealous Underling: He overhears Katar's bitter comments towards Bashari and Chay-Ara and acts on them, poisoning the latter two.
- Posthumous Character: His only appearance is in the Absorbacron-induced flashback of millennia ago.
- Undying Loyalty: Deconstructed. He was so loyal to Katar that he took a statement that his king had made in the heat of the moment and followed through with it by murdering Chay-Ara and Bashari. Katar did not take it well.
