    The League of Super Evil 

Voltar

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/voltar.png

Voiced by: Scott McNeil
The leader of the titular League, a short red man always seen wearing a helmet. He believes himself to be the greatest evildoer in the world and is very determined to prove this. However, not only are his evil schemes ineffectual at best, but they are constantly foiled by poor planning, bad luck, his own short-sightedness and pettiness, and/or the ineptitude of his minions.
  • Ambiguously Human: Even without his helmet or suit, he's shown to have extremely pale skin and entirely black eyes with glowing yellow pupils. He could be an alien invader of some kind, which would explain a few things.
  • Attention Whore: A lot of his "evil" schemes are attempts to get noticed by the other villains or superheroes. He's actually quite delighted when he has to compete when more competent villains or actual superheroes show up to thwart him, taking it as an indicator of his great villainy.
  • Big Bad Wannabe: Believes himself to be a great villain, though his schemes rarely do more than annoy the neighbors. And that's when they work. He's always upstaged by every other villain, especially Skullossus.
  • Book Dumb: Where to begin? First off, he thinks the woolly mammoth invented the printing press.
  • Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Voltar is normally detached from reality, to say the least.
  • Evil Is Petty: Though pettiness is all that really makes him evil. In fact, most of the time he is completely driven by his pettiness even when world domination is given to him on a silver platter. Such as when he actually manages to steal Skullossus' spaceship and has the capability to destroy entire armies and he thinks the absolute most evil deed possible is using it to pester his neighbor Steve.
  • Expressive Mask: "Voltar Squared" revealed that his face is actually a helmet. Thus, it is probably one of the most expressive masks ever created.
  • Expy: You could say that he's Zim in a supervillain get up.
  • The Faceless: We never see his face.
  • Fallen Hero: He used to be the righteous hall monitor of Metrotown’s hero school, until he was driven to villainy by Glory Guy cheating him out of his chance of becoming the next big hero and humiliating him in front of the whole school for not having a heroic-looking appearance.
  • Fatal Flaw: His severe lack of foresight. Whenever his schemes work, they either work too well or work against him.
  • Funsize: He is often mistaken for a child due to his size, with one episode having him mistakenly be put into Super Daycare.
  • Glowing Eyes of Doom: Perhaps the reason he is the leader of the League.
  • Jerkass: Well, he is a villain after all.
  • Large Ham: Sure, his plans usually do little more than annoy the neighbors, but he's so enthusiastic about how evil they are.
  • Literal-Minded: Has shades of this, most notably in "In Your Dreams", where after he vowed revenge on Von Pantaloon and the latter taunted him with the "in your dreams" remark, he got the idea to storm his rival's dreams.
    Voltar: Von Pantaloon said I could only have revenge in my dreams. So I figured we do the next best thing.
  • Manchild: He's basically a whiny, immature brat in the body of a wannabe supervillain.
  • The Napoleon: He's no bigger than the neighbourhood kids, but acts like the greatest villain of all time.
  • No Indoor Voice: Due to how hammy he is, most of his lines are delivered at the top of his tiny little lungs.
  • Not-So-Harmless Villain: In-Universe example, Season 2 onwards reveal that his petty little schemes are indeed viewed as the great offenses he claims they are, the problem is their small scale they are committed in.
  • Pointy-Haired Boss: For being the leader of a supervillain team, his schemes never seem to accomplish much. He also tends to disregard suggestions by Dr. Frogg, who is more capable than he is.
  • Poke the Poodle: What most of his acts of "villainy" involve, such as selling shampoo that would make everyone's hair sticky.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: The red to Frogg's blue.
  • Skewed Priorities: Many times he could have accomplished something extremely villainous, but he's often too concerned with doing something petty to notice.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: He's mostly ignored as a villain, but convinced he's a global threat.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: While a Harmless Villain in the present day, he's the one who inspired villains like Skullossus, Doom Driver, and Rock Gothlington to become such back when they were heroes-in-training that were victims of bullying by Glory Guy's group.
  • Super Zeroes: A villainous example. Most superheroes don't even bother to fight him and the League, since they're such Harmless Villains.
  • Tragic Villain: The Whole Episode Flashback reveals he was at one point the Hall Monitor of Metrotown's Hero School, and would have been the next big hero if Glory Guy hadn't bribed his way up.
  • Underwear of Power: He wears a pair of red trunks with a skull-buckle on the outside of his costume.
  • Villain Protagonist: A Big Bad Wannabe, but also the main character.

Doktor Frogg

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/doktor_frogg.png

Voiced by: Lee Tockar (English), Muli Shulman (Hebrew)
The brains of the League, a scrawny man with goggles, a steel chin, and metallic pincers in place of hands. Unlike his teammates, he has genuine plans for world domination and is very capable of engineering machines to do so. Too bad the others don't take him seriously - a problem further exasperated by his constant stream of bad luck and his inability to avoid pain and injury.
  • Affably Evil: Not nearly as much as Red Menace, but he's still fairly polite for an Ax-Crazy psychopath bent on world domination.
  • Butt-Monkey: Most of the abuse and physical humour tends to happen to him.
  • Childhood Friends: In "Once Upon a Lose" it is revealed that Red Menace and Doktor Frogg have been best friends since school and have known and followed Voltar for just as long.
  • The Chew Toy: Often literally, as Doomageddon loves chewing on his mechanical hands.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Being a supergenius, he is often annoyed by Voltar's idiocy and lack of ambition beyond annoyance.
  • The Dragon: Seems to be the second-in-command, and often called upon to design the devices to enact Voltar's schemes. When Voltar leaves the League, Frogg is put in charge and finds out that being the one calling the shots is harder than it looks.
  • Depending on the Writer: He sometimes plays his part in Voltar's petty little schemes cheerfully and without complaint, other times he’s the Only Sane Man opposing the idiocy around him.
  • Evil Genius: The only guy on the team that actually deserves this title.
  • Face Palm: Or rather Face-Claw, and often when Voltar does or suggests something really stupid.
  • Good Hurts Evil: Is shown to hate good things like rainbows and happiness. He considered the Sugar Bowl dimension that Doomageddon teleports to a hellish torture.
  • Insufferable Genius: He is genuinely smart and able to come up with complex inventions, but usually gets brushed aside by Voltar.
  • Likes Older Women: He has a crush on The Cougar.
  • Mad Scientist: You know there's something wrong with the villains when their Mad Scientist is the Only Sane Man.
  • Morally Ambiguous Doctorate: He does appear to have a genuine doctorate, but of course uses it to perform mad science.
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: His voice is an imitation of Peter Lorre.
  • Not So Above It All: Despite being the Only Sane Man who often gets fed-up with Voltar's antics, he is just as often getting engrossed in their incompetent evil schemes and hamming it up.
  • Only Sane Man: If one of Voltar's plans are stupid, nonthreatening, and childish even more than usual (and that's saying something!) Frogg will point it out.
  • Power Pincers: While he was in school during his first encounters with the rest of the league, he had his right hand crushed by Red Menace and his left hand bitten by Doomageddon. Being the mad scientist he is, he invented custom pincer hands of the "cybernetic" category to compensate for his misfortune.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: The blue to Voltar's red.
  • The Smart Guy: The League's Resident Evil Genius and Mad Scientist.
  • Suddenly Shouting: Very prone to this, due to how often Voltar's dumb schemes frustrate him or something goes awry and panics him.
  • Supreme Chef: When episode reveals him to be an extraordinary chef, able to produce culinary masterpieces from ordinary ingredients and Doomageddon's fur. When asked where he learned to cook, he brushes it off as being "mad science without the explosions and horrible injury".
  • Token Evil Teammate: He's the only member of the League who is actually evil as opposed to just annoying. Even then, it's mostly just by comparison.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: He's allergic to hair so much to be terrified of it.

Red Menace

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/red_menace.png

Voiced by: Colin Murdock (English), Gilad Kleter (Hebrew)
The muscle of the League, a large redheaded man in green. He's a very cheerful and kindhearted, if rather naive and childish, individual, and he enjoys such things as baking, gardening, helping little old ladies cross the street, and suggesting moral and friendly ways to resolve problems. In fact, he's not very evil at all, much to the chagrin of his teammates.
  • Affably Evil: Exaggerated to ridiculous levels, to the point that he has no evil or even jerkish qualities whatsoever but still calls himself evil.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: When he gets really angry, he can be really dangerous.
  • The Brute: He serves as the League's muscle, but he's not evil by any stretch, being more of a Gentle Giant.
  • Childhood Friends: In "Once Upon a Lose" it is revealed that Red Menace and Doktor Frogg have been best friends since school and have known and followed Voltar for just as long
  • Ditzy Genius: Red's childish and somewhat dim nature gives way to some moments of true intelligence. For example, he once not only understood Frogg's complicated math equation but then went on to casually correct a mistake in the math.
  • Dumb Muscle: Usually somewhat childish, and sometimes fails to get things for a joke. Just as often, though, he's shown as bright and resourceful. One episode showed Red scoring higher on a computerized intelligence test than Voltar.
  • Evil Redhead: Though, not so much evil.
  • Gentle Giant: A big muscular guy who helps little old ladies cross the street.
  • Manchild: He tends to be somewhat immature, although in a more innocent and cheerful kind of way compared to the also childish Voltar.
  • Minion with an F in Evil: Likes baking cupcakes and suggests reasonable ("good") solutions to problems. The only reason he became a supervillain was because he was disgusted at how corrupt and obnoxious the superheroes at his school were.
  • Nice Guy: In case we haven't made it clear enough, Red Menace isn't evil in the slightest.
  • Non-Indicative Name: Red Menace wears green (although he does have red hair) and is anything but a menace.
  • Not-So-Harmless Villain: He's generally a kindhearted Gentle Giant, except when his mind snaps, at which point all his brawn combined with his unstable mind turns him into a rampaging juggernaut who can smash his way through walls and reinforced doors.
  • Only Sane Man: If Doktor Frogg isn't filling the role, Red will often take it up, utilizing common sense when everyone else has divulged into insanity.
  • Real Men Wear Pink: Despite his hulking appearance and place as The Brute of the League, most of his hobbies and interests are rather feminine, such as baking and gardening.
  • Redhead In Green: Despite what his name suggests, he actually wears a green jumpsuit. "Red" refers to his hair in this case.
  • Token Good Teammate: He's a genuinely nice guy, really.

Doomageddon

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/doomageddon.png

The League's pet, a reptilian-canine creature called a Pan-Dimensional Doomhound (Hellhound in "Table for Four"). He possesses the ability to teleport between realities in a flash of flame. He also has a pretty big appetite, which often causes trouble for the League, especially Doktor Frogg, who can never seem to get on his good side.


  • Animalistic Abomination: He's pretty much called a hellhound but he looks more like a cross between a lizard and a monkey. Then there's the fact that he's a pan-dimensional creature with a number of powers and when Doktor Frogg manages to pull rotten tooth out, the hole in his gums turns into a dimensional vacuum.
  • Big Eater: His large appetite has made him a bit of a hindrance for the League's schemes and has swallowed objects several times his size on a few occasions.
  • Extreme Omnivore: He'll eat pretty much anything he can get his jaws on, particularly Doktor Frogg.
  • Hellhound: Actually a "doomhound", but Voltar does actually call him one in "Table for Four".
  • Hidden Depths: One episode reveals that when the League is away, he is actually a secret agent who helps keep order to villains and prevent nasty heroes from overthrowing them.
  • Names to Run Away from Really Fast: A combination of "doom" and "armageddon".
  • Sugar Bowl: Where he teleports to, according to Doktor Frogg.
  • Team Pet: For the League, who treat him as one would a regular dog.
  • Troll: He enjoys throwing wrenches into the League's schemes for his own amusement.

  • Arch-Enemy: To Skullosus.
  • Badass Normal: He's a G.I. Joe style hero who manages to fight regular super villains on a daily basis.
  • Big Good: He leads the army and is the biggest force for good against the many supervillains.

  • Frontline General: A general who personally leads field operations all the time.
  • Hero Antagonist: In the episode “00-Geddon”, where Doomageddon is the titular Villain Protagonist going up against antagonistic superheroes General and Nightshade.

Skullossus

Voiced by: Colin Murdock (English)
  • Affably Evil: Despite being the premiere supervillain, he is quite friendly to others outside of his supervillain-ing, even willing to pay for his groceries.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He has a son who looks like a miniature version of himself, that Skullosus dotes upon like a loving father.
  • Friendly Enemy: With General Sergeant. Despite being Skullossus’ nemesis, the two are still able to have fairly friendly conversations with the General even giving him dating advice.
  • Greater-Scope Villain: While the show focuses mainly on Voltar and the rest of the League, Skullossus is the villain who actually poses the greatest threat to the world at large.
  • Mecha-Mooks: His Skullmandos might be this.
  • Mobile-Suit Human: He's actually just a skull atop a massive robotic body.

Glory Guy

Voiced by: Lee Tockar (English)
  • Big Good: He’s hailed as the city’s greatest superhero.
  • Bratty Half-Pint: He used to be a huge Jerkass who bullied other heroes-in-training alongside Wow Woman and Nightshade when they were kids, until Voltar inspired their victims to fight back and become villains.
  • Create Your Own Villain: Him cheating Voltar out of the chance to become Metrotown’s next big hero led to the formation of the League of Super Evil, with his relentless bullying of Skullossus, Doom Driver, and Rock Gothlington back when they were heroes-in-training also causing them to fall into villainy.
