Aerrow

The Sky Knight and leader of the Storm Hawks. He is a direct descendant from the presumably deceased leader of the original Storm Hawks, Lightning Strike. (Fanon says they're father and son, but it's never explicitly stated in show).

• Heal Thyself: In "Five Days".
• The Hero
• The Leader
• The Messiah
• My Nayme Is...
• Redheaded Hero
• Shirtless Scene

Finn

The team's self-absorbed sharp shooter.

---

• Air Guitar
• The Archer
• Automatic Crossbow
• Blue Eyes
• Bottomless Magazines: He has run out on a couple of occasions, but let's face it - he fits way more arrows into his crossbow than he should be able to.
• Butt Monkey
• Catch Phrase: "Chika-cha!" Complete with pointed pistol-fingers.
• Cool Shades: He's seen wearing a pair on occasion, usually for humorous effect.
• Drunk with Power: On more than one occasion.

• Friendly Sniper
• The Gunslinger: Played up in "The Ultra Dudes".
• Handsome Lech / Casanova Wannabe: Depending on his luck.
• Idiot Hero
• The Lancer
• Me's a Crowd: "InFinnity"
• Plucky Comic Relief
• Screams Like a Little Girl
• Shirtless Scene: More than any of the others, although Aerrow and Stork might have him beat for total onscreen time spent shirtless. (See "Escape" and "Shipwrecked", respectively.)
• Snake Oil Salesman: In "Velocity", and revisited much later in the finale. Something of an Informed Ability, as we never actually get to see him making a pitch.
• Spiky Hair
• Small Name, Big Ego

Piper

The team's only girl and a perfectionist crystal specialist.

---

• Action Girl
• Ambiguously Brown
• Badass Bookworm
• Boom Stick
• The Chick

• Foe Yay: With Master Cyclonis.
• Gadgeteer Genius: Though to a much lesser degree than Stork.
• Girl Next Door
• Number Two
• Positive Discrimination - The Ambiguously Brown Token Girl is probably the least likely to screw up.
• Prince and Pauper: In "Royal Switch".
• Ship Tease: The Foe Yay moments with Master Cyclonis, as mentioned above. However, as shown at the ending of "Stratosphere," the moment Aerrow manages to land after his Skimmer nearly crashes in "Second Chances," and the final episodes, she has a fair share of these moments with her leader, Aerrow.
• The Smart Girl

  Aerrow [assigning team positions]: Piper - crystal mage! ...Plus, all the smart stuff.

• The Smurfette Principle
• Super Empowering: In the last few episodes, after she acquires the ability to infuse others with crystal powers.
• Took a Level in Badass: Towards the end of the series.

• You Gotta Have Blue Hair

Junko

The muscle of the team and a major softie.

---

• Adorkable
• Apologetic Attacker
• Berserk Button
• Big Eater
• The Big Guy
• Catch Phrase: "On it!" and "Sorry!"
• Curtains Match the Window
• Extreme Omnivore
• Friend to All Living Things
• Genius Bruiser: While not The Smart Guy by any stretch, he is the team's mechanic and weapon expert.
• Gentle Giant
• Gray Eyes
• Heel Face Turn: "Origins" reveals that he was once a member of a Cyclonian Youth Brigade before he realized that they were most definitely not the good guys.
• Lethal Chef: Seems to come with his being an Extreme Omnivore — he has pretty low standards when it comes to food.
• Mr Fix It
• Power Fist: His Knuckle Busters.
• Super Strength: Even without his Knuckle Busters.

Stork

The oldest member of the team and the neurotic pilot of the Condor.

---

• Adorkable
• Agent Mulder
  Aerrow: I know it seems hard to believe...
  Stork: Nah, I believe pretty much anything.
• Berserk Button: Don't mess with the Condor.
• Catch Phrase: "We're doomed."
• Cowardly Lion
• Crazy-Prepared
• Deadpan Snarker
• The Eeyore
• Emo Teen
• Fingerless Gloves: He's even got a pair for his feet (they're prehensile).
• Gadgeteer Genius
• Large Ham
• Lovable Coward
• Mix-and-Match Critters: Word Of God says merbs like Stork are cold-blooded and smooth-skinned, rather like amphibians, even though their ears are rather mammalian and they have hair on their heads.
• Mr. Fanservice
• Nightmare Fetishist
• Non-Action Guy: He rarely gets into fights except from behind the wheel of the Condor.
• Older than They Look: Word Of God says he's about twenty. Doesn't look it, does he?
• The Smart Guy
• Sour Supporter
• Roaring Rampage of Revenge: In "Payback".
• Twitchy Eye

Radarr

The "Mission Specialist" of the Storm Hawks who usually serves as a wing-creature for Aerrow.

---

• Evil Detecting Dog
• Improbable Weapon User: Wrenches, plungers, crystals, live chickens... if he can swing or throw it, he can use it.
• Insistent Terminology: He doesn't like being referred to as a pet. He prefers "Mission Specialist."
• Mix-and-Match Critters: Some kind of blue-furred lemur rabbit... thing.
• Non-Human Sidekick: To Aerrow.
• The Speechless
• Team Pet

Master Cyclonis

Ruler of Cyclonia and the major antagonist of the series.

---

• All Encompassing Mantle
• Authority Equals Ass Kicking: She is an Sorcerous Overlord and can handle any protagonist of her own with relative ease. In the two-part series opening, she easily handles both Aerrow and Starling, and the only way they are able to win is by breaking her Artifact of Doom.
• Beauty Mark
• Big Bad
• Dark Action Girl
• Even Bad Girls Love Their Mamas: She spends an entire episode trying to retrieve a crystal... so it can fix another one that holds an image of her and her grandma.
• Evil Genius
• Excessive Evil Eyeshadow
• Foe Yay - With Piper.
• Goth
• High Collar of Doom
• In the Hood
• Little Miss Badass
• Lonely at the Top: Implied in "Best Friends Forever".
• Royals Who Actually Do Something: On occasion, though when she does, she pretty much kicks ass.
• Slasher Smile: She is especially found of this kind of expression.
• Sorcerous Overlord
• Supernatural is Purple
• Surrounded by Idiots
• Take Over the World
• Voice of the Legion: Used in some earlier episodes when delivering dramatic lines.
• You Have Failed Me: Often threatens her minions with this. She never actually does it however.
  • In the second season, she DOES follow through, in PG fashion: Ravess is exiled for allowing Cyclonia to switch leadership several times when Cyclonis herself was out attending to an important matter, and Snipe follows some time after for general incompetence.
• When She Smiles: In the aforementioned example of Even Bad Girls Love Their Mamas, when she sees the image restored, she lets a genuine smile cross her face. It's a rather surprising Crowning Moment Of Heart Warming.

The Dark Ace

Master Cyclonis's right-hand man and a traitor to the original Storm Hawks.

---

• Arch-Enemy: To Aerrow.
• The Dragon: To Master Cyclonis.
• Laser Blade: And one with two blades running parallel with one another, no less! It originally belonged to Lightning Strike, before the Dark Ace (then his co-pilot) used it to kill him and then kept it for himself, changing the crystal in the hilt for a red one.
• Mr. Fanservice
• Everyone Calls Him Dark Ace: There's never any mention of what they called him before he became Cyclonia's Red Baron.
• Fallen Hero
• Foe Yay: With Aerrow.
• Red Baron
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: Interestingly, they're shown as black in flashbacks.
• Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves: Averted. For betraying the original Storm Hawks, the previous Master Cyclonis rewarded the Dark Ace with all the glory and power she had promised him.
• The Rival: Once again, to Aerrow.
• Tall, Dark and Handsome
• Tall, Dark and Snarky
• Villainous RROD
• Villain Decay: A rather mild(?) example. He starts out being an invincible Red Baron that no other Sky Knight can match, and during the first season, he's consistently portrayed as this. By the time of "Energy Crisis," however, he has to resort to a Giant Mecha to give Aerrow and Co. an uphill battle. Of course, YMMV.
• Worthy Opponent: Seems to view Aerrow as this by the series finale, as he asks Master Cyclonis for the chance to finish him in battle, rather than let him get sucked into a Far-Side crystal prison. Not that he lets it stop him from accepting a power boost from Cyclonis via the Binding in order to win.

Ravess

A high-ranking Talon commander.

---

• The Archer
• Cleavage Window
• Dark Action Girl
• Dark Chick
• Enemy Mine: Subverted. In "The Ultra Dudes," it almost seems like a typical Enemy Mine scenario will play out between her and the Storm Hawks against Master Cyclonis, until she makes it quite clear she's not giving them anything more than a cryptic hint.
• Evil Redhead: Well, magenta-head really. Though it does depend on the lighting.
• Eyes of Gold: Combined with her distinctive hairstyle, they give her a rather hawklike look.
• Instrument of Murder: Her violin bow.
• Left the Background Music On
• Leitmotif: Very distinct and usually played by one of her own troops when she flies into battle.
• Musical Assassin: With the Megaphonic Mega-Masher.
• Sibling Yin-Yang: With her younger brother Snipe.
• The Starscream: Averted. The second season has her getting progressively more fed up with Master Cyclonis, hinting that she'll betray her. Unfortunately for her, she's exiled from Cyclonia before she can stab any backs.
• Villainous Demotivator
• Wicked Cultured

Snipe

Another high-ranking Talon commander.

---

• The Brute
• Carry a Big Stick

Repton

The leader of the Raptors.

---

• Battle Boomerang: Doubles as a sword.
• Disney Villain Death: Near the end of the series, Stork raids Terra Bogaton to avenge the destruction of the Condor. The ensuing fight nearly sends him and Repton over the edge of the balcony they're fighting on. However, when Stork tries to save Repton, the outraged Raptor hurls his boomerang at the Merb...which comes back around and hits him, sending him plummeting to his fate.
• Hey, It's That Voice!: Hey, it's Dinobot!
• Pet the Dog: A few rare occasions, towards his brothers. Namely, in "Fire and Ice," he was taking the three of them to a desert Terra which, due to its arid and sunny conditions, was like a vacation spot to lizards like them. Too bad the Blizzarians froze the place over in a bid to make a new home for themselves...
• Precision-Guided Boomerang: Which blazes with crystal energy when thrown.
• Reptiles Are Abhorrent: He's a bandit leader and works for the Big Bad. This trope is a given.

---

• Action Girl
• Cool Big Sis: To the Storm Hawks. Deconstructed in "Storm Hawks Seven", where she becomes frustrated with their lack of maturity. Reconstructed by the end of the episode, when she learns to loosen up and have some fun.
• The Drifter: She has elements of this. (Namely, But Now I Must Go)
• Fighting With Chucks
• Green Eyes
• I Work Alone: She has no problem teaming up when it's necessary, but usually prefers solo work and declines the Storm Hawks' offers of team membership.
• Mix-and-Match Weapon: Her nunchucks have energy blades on the ends of the handles.
• Older than They Look: She's in her early twenties, but viewers frequently mistake her for being younger.
• Reverse Mole: In her first appearance.
• Sixth Ranger: When she's around. She's only made a few appearances, but is considered to be a sort of part-time Storm Hawk.
• Sole Survivor
• Zettai Ryouiki

Suzy Lu

The Sky Knight of the Absolute Zeroes.

---

• Canada, Eh?
