Episode 1: Laser Baby's Day Out
Laser Baby
Voiced by: Jenny Yokobori
- Baby's First Words: Says "Dada" to Simon.
- Badass Adorable: Once she's able to summon her laser eyes at will, Laser Baby takes down Superbrain and dozens of security agents targeting her and Simon.
- Beware the Nice Ones: Unintentionally and intentionally kills dozens of Vought soldiers.
- Does Not Know Her Own Strength: She's an innocent little baby who (at first) is unable to control her laser powers, and they are activated whenever she sneezes, coughs, farts, or hiccups.
- Eye Beams: Laser Baby's power.
- Fearless Infant: Does not show any fear at all in spite of all the peril she wanders herself into.
- Nice Girl: A sweet, adorable little girl.
- Pint-Sized Powerhouse: She's an infant that can fire destructive lasers from her eyes.
- Sneeze of Doom: Laser Baby's eye beams are mainly triggered whenever she sneezes. Many of the Vought guards targeting her wound up suffering gruesome deaths because of this.
Simon
Voiced by: Ben Schwartz
- Beware the Nice Ones: Has a piranha bite a man’s nose off and later has Laser Baby kill a bunch of Vought soldiers.
- Friend to All Children: It is clear that he adores babies and goes out of his way to rescue Laser Baby due to being unable to bear letting her get killed by Vought.
- Nice Guy: Simon is a caring man with dreams of being a father.
- Token Good Teammate: Appears to legitimately care for at least Laser Baby, unlike his colleagues.
- The Voiceless: He has no dialogue and only makes non-verbal vocal noises.
Superbrain
Voiced by: Fred Tatasciore
- Deader than Dead: After Laser Baby slices his head in half, all of the construction material he was lifting up with his powers crush his body into paste.
- My Brain Is Big: He has an enormous cranium and telekinetic abilities.
- Undignified Death: Possibly due to his brain being so huge, he's (somewhat) able to stay alive with it split in two. He tries to get the other half back into his head using his halved skull as a container, but collapses and dies... upon which his psionic powers give out and he's splattered under a slab of formerly suspended concrete.
- The Voiceless: He doesn't say any words and only makes non-verbal grunts.
- Would Hurt a Child: He has no problem sentencing Laser Baby to death and attempting to do the job himself.
Episode 2: An Animated Short Where Pissed-Off Supes Kill Their Parents
The Team in General
- Antagonistic Offspring: Their short is literally all about them killing their parents. Though seeing as said parents signed them up for Compound V, then abandoned them when the kids didn't get marketable super-powers, it's completely justified.
- Blessed with Suck: Though the Compound V gave them all superpowers, the powers range from completely useless (Aqua Agua, Boobie Face) to self-detrimental (Mo-Slo, Picante Balls, Ghost).
- Curb-Stomp Battle: Eventually their rampage of murdering revenge is ended when Vought sends Homelander to deal with them. The only one he doesn't effortlessly kill with his laser eyes is Ghost, because she has no physical body for him to harm. The others he kills in two seconds flat.
- Heart Is an Awesome Power: Arguably the point of their short. While some of their powers truly are useless (having boobs for eyes, constantly moving in slow-motion) many others can be cool or even lethal when applied correctly. For example, Ghost is a great infiltrator, Boombox can release deadly soundwaves and Kingdom can do some serious damage if he manages to set up a situation where his animal forms have a goal that doesn't need human intelligence.
- Parental Abandonment: Due to their less-than-stellar powers, their parents have abandoned all of them at the Red River facility.
Ghost
Voiced by: Asjha Cooper
- Barbie Doll Anatomy: She's naked for the whole short, due to not being able to wear clothes, but she completely lacks nipples or genitals.
- Blessed with Suck: Can't be harmed physically due to her intangible body, but at the same time can't touch anything and so can't eat despite still feeling hunger.
- Death Seeker: Admits to her father that she truly wants to die, but because of her powers even that is denied from her.
- 11th-Hour Superpower: When Mo-Slo gets to stab her father in her face, she can possess his hand to speed him up.
- Sole Survivor: Is the only one out of her group to survive Homelander's eye beams. She retreats anyway, but promises her mother to come back to finish the job.
Boombox
- Heroic Build: Despite his underwhelming power, his bodybuilding means he's muscular enough to pass for a superhero.
- Super-Scream: Really the only thing he can do with a boombox for a head. Though that doesn't make him any less lethal if he wants to be.
Fang
Voiced by: Grey Griffin
- Blessed with Suck: Has teeth that can chew through anything. Unfortunately this includes her own face, and the awkward positioning of her enormous teeth makes it difficult for her to speak or properly bite into food.
- Facial Horror: Being injected with Compound V as a baby meant gambling on her physical development in the worst way possible.
- The Unintelligible: Due to her enormous teeth, she has a hard time speaking so that others can understand her.
Kingdom
Voiced by: Parker Simmons
- Blessed with Suck: Can turn into any animal. Unfortunately lacks a Required Secondary Power that allows him to keep his human mind while transformed, making his animal forms mindless and forgetful of the task at hand.
- Deadpan Snarker: As seen during his brief conversation with Fang.
- What You Are in the Dark: Deep down he seems to be a pretty gentle guy, as anytime he turns into an animal that could kill someone, he ends up leaving them alone. Note that he had to drench his parents in blood before he transformed into a shark.
Aqua Agua
Mo-Slo
Voiced by: Caleb McLaughlin
- Cursed with Awesome: His slow-motion ability turns out to be pretty horrific for his murder victims, as it's impossible for him to end their lives quickly and painlessly.
Booby-Face
Voiced by: Kevin Smith
- Abusive Parents: His mother is the absolute worst of all the parents, mocking him by disemboweling puppies alive and laughing sadistically.
- Fan Disservice: After he kills his mother, a puppy that was almost her next victim shows gratitude by... well... licking his face-boobs.
- Heroes Love Dogs: His mother eviscerating dogs remains a sore spot for him. He's able to save one by killing her.
Ranch Dressing Cum Squirter
- Exactly What It Says on the Tin: His name tells you all about his powers you probably didn't want to know.
Flashback
Picante Balls
- Magic Pants: Magic briefs in his case. They're the only things that can touch his balls without burning up.
- Power Incontinence: He can't turn off his powers and he's got no resistance to his own super-heat, so he has to waddle around with no pants on.
Big
- The Big Guy: His power is literally just to be big and strong, so he acts as the main muscle for the group throughout the short.
- The Grotesque: His deformity doesn't look the least bit funny, resembling gigantism.
Tongue
- Blessed with Suck: Is one big human tongue—despite being extremely muscular, she has no bones or limbs and relies on her friends to help move around.
Papers
Voiced by: Justin Roiland
- Long-Haired Pretty Boy: He's a good-looking guy with a toned build. If his powers weren't limited to moving papers he'd be a pretty marketable superhero.
- This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman: Subverted. When the kids try to find the files of their parents and the Vought official refuses to talk, Ghost calls Paper up to just summon the documents to him. He ends up botching it, because while he can summon forth papers, he cannot specifically call only the paper he wants.
- Remember the New Guy?: He abruptly appears with no prior foreshadowing in spite of not being among the teenage supes introduced by the Narrator. He even points out how he wasn't brought up by the Narrator while insisting he was there the whole time.
- Walking Shirtless Scene: For some reason, he's never shown wearing a shirt.
The Narrator
Voiced by: Christian Slater
- Ax-Crazy: While getting revenge on his dad is justified, the sadistic way he murders him and the fact he wears his face afterwards is not.
- Lemony Narrator: Displays some Deadpan Snarker-tendencies while introducing the group and narrating their adventures.
- The Omniscient: He seemingly knows about everything that's going on at all times, even if he wasn't personally there. Shame all he can do with it is talk about it.
Denis
Barb
The Parents
- Abusive Parents: Experimented on their children to give them superpowers only to ditch them when they weren’t good enough.
- Hate Sink: Are a bunch of selfish, greedy bastards who abandoned their own children because their powers are useless and won't lead them to stardom, despite the fact that they gave their children Compound V in the first place.
- Booby-Face's mother, despite looking like a sweet lady at a glance, is by far the most monstrous of all the parents, according to a flashback. Basically, she tortured puppies, turned them into grotesque works of bloody art, laughing maniacally as she traumatized her son with it.
- Karmic Death: They willingly gave their kids Compound V, hoping to get rich off their superpowers, but when their powers turned out to be duds, they ditched them without remorse. Years later, they are rightfully killed by the very children they abandoned.
- Oh, Crap!: What their reaction tends to be when their angry, super-powered kids come knocking.
- Sole Survivor: Every parent gets killed except for Ghost's mother, who is saved by the Homelander.
- Undignified Death: Picante Balls' father essentially dies from getting tea-bagged by his own son.
Episode 3: I'm Your Pusher
Oswald "OD" Deneeka
Voiced by: Kieran Culkin
- Break the Haughty: Starts the short off as an arrogant asshole who thinks he's untouchable thanks to his relations to the Seven. Ends the short horrified, traumatized and crying on a bench after having to witness the gruesome death of two of his customers that he helped cause.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Even he is disgusted by Iron Cast getting off on the blood of terminally ill children. He also seems genuinely shocked when Butcher tells him about the two college students Great Wide Wonder got killed and left up in orbit.
- Jerkass: Smug a prick who has no problem flaunting around his perceived untouchableness.
- Meaningful Name: To OD is slang for to overdose on drugs. Fitting, since Oswald is the go-to drug dealer for Supes, but also indirectly causes Great Wide Wonder's death by sabotaging his heroin.
- Tattooed Crook: A drug dealer with elaborate tattoos on his lower body.
Iron Cast
Voiced by: Kevin Michael Richardson
- Cruel and Unusual Death: Gets a giant hole blown through his torso, losing most of his abdomen before bleeding to death.
- Evil Tastes Good: The reason he gets off on drinking the blood of terminally ill children is because he claims he can "taste the despair".
- Fat Bastard: Has a large gut and is just as despicable as the rest of the supes.
- Fetish: Apparently, he can only get an erection from drinking the blood of terminally ill children.
- I'm a Humanitarian: Drinks human blood of terminally ill children.
- Karmic Death: He drinks children's blood recreationally, and dies belching up his own blood after GWW flies through his gut.
Great Wide Wonder
Voiced by: Michael Cera
- Addled Addict: He's a heroin addict already, but whatever Frenchie put in his stash turns him into a raving lunatic.Hughie: Jinges, Frenchie. What'd ya put in that stuff?
- Evil Redhead: He's a ginger and a deranged drug addict who killed two college students by flying them so high up for sex they froze and left their corpses in space to cover his tracks.
- Fetish: Butcher implies that him letting the two college girls freeze to death in the atmosphere while having sex with them might have been "part of the fun" for him.
- Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: Implied by Butcher's story about the two college girls. He flew them up to a high altitude for sex, and didn't stop when they realized they couldn't survive the frigid cold.
- Super-Speed: Can reach Mach 2 in flight.
Episode 4: Boyd In 3D
Boyd Doone
Voiced by: Eliot Glazer
- Nice Guy: Boyd is a genuinely nice dude, just a little shy and insecure. Which makes the reveal that he hallucinated everything after putting on Envision and his death right after all the more heartbreaking.
- Your Head Asplode: Meets his end via an overdose of Compound V.
Cherry Sinclair
Vik
Voiced by: Kumail Nanjiani
Episode 5: BFFs
Sky
Voiced by: Awkwafina
- Accidental Misnaming: Due to the drug dealer getting her name wrong, the Deep keeps calling her "Kyle" at first.
- Extreme Doormat: Is this at the start of the short due to being the new girl in town and not having the heart to stand up to her "friends" out of fear of ending up all alone. She grows out of this after her adventure with Areola, openly defying them and even slipping one of them poop in her coffee cup as revenge for her prior mistreatment.
- Heart Is an Awesome Power: The Deep at first mocks her power of bringing fecal matter to life, but is soon proven wrong when Sky's army turns out to be too much for him psychologically and he's forced to retreat.
- Vocal Dissonance: She's got a very deep voice for a teenage girl.
Areola
Voiced by: Awkwafina
- Innocent Blue Eyes: Or eye. A blue marble Sky swallowed once serves as her eye and she's a chipper, friendly little shit.
- Talking Poo: She's a literal piece of shit brought to life by Sky's powers.
- Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: The only indication that she's a girl are her "eye-lashes" (really hair that got stuck in her) and her big shiny "eye" (a marble Sky ate when she was a child).
- You Are Better Than You Think You Are: Gives an encouraging speech to Sky during their stand-off with the Deep, telling her that she was always the special one between the two, as it was her powers that brought Areola to life in the first place.
Episode 6: Nubian Vs Nubian
Nubian Prince
Nubia
Maya Nubian
Voiced by: Somali Rose
- All Girls Like Ponies: At the end of the episode she demands the "motherfucking pony" that her parents initially promised to make her feel better about the divorce.
- Blood-Splattered Innocents: Gets a good amount of Groundhawk's blood on her when her parents continue to beat on him long after he's down.
- Broken Pedestal: She ultimately learns that her parents are not good people when they mercilessly beat Groundhawk when he's already beaten, and that they bring the worst out of each other. She decides it would be better for everyone if they get a divorce.
- Muggle Born of Mages: It's never really brought up in the short, but despite both of her parents being powerful Supes, Maya herself doesn't show any sign of having powers. This is actually brought up in the main TV series. Stormfront states that Homelander is the only known instance of a supe producing powered offspring (likely because he was genetically engineered with Compound V, rather than just being injected with it after being born like other supes).
- Parental Sexuality Squick: It's obvious that she's not happy about having to hear her parents make love after they get turned on by beating Groundhawk to near death. It's the final straw that makes her decide them getting a divorce would be better for all of them.
- Precision F-Strike: Tells her parents at the end of the short that after the divorce, they better make good on that motherfucking pony they promised. This is the first time in the short that she swears, marking her loss of innocence.
- Thousand-Yard Stare: Gains this as she has to witness her parents brutalize Groundhawk and after that when she hears them having loud, passionate sex the whole night.
Groundhawk
Voiced by: John DiMaggio
- Adaptational Heroism: No mentioned of being a part of, what is essentially, a brainwashing pedophile cult.
- Adaptational Intelligence: Groundhawk in the comics was almost feral and had a one-word-vocabulary that consisted of his catchphrase "Gonna!" This Groundhawk is fully sapient.
- Blessed with Suck: Having hammers for hands is cool for clobbering opponents, but it also comes with the caveat of not having fingers. Groundhawk has trouble picking anything up and he has to be extra careful when going to the toilet. He also can't jack off.
- Butt-Monkey: First, Vought writes him off to be a Punch-Clock Villain to the Nubians, having him beaten bloody so they can instigate their Meet Cute. Then the Nubians' kid blackmails him into pretending to be an actual villain who kidnapped her and he gets beaten to near-death again by the Nubians, who even get turned on while doing it. Also, he suffers from depression, his figure has seen better days, his living condition is deplorable and his power of having hammers for hands is seriously impractical for anything that's not fighting. To top it all off, Episode 6 starts with Terror humping a plushie of him.
- Horrible Housing : His living condition. This coupled with his weight gain and self-pity show that he's sufferring from depression, not that Vought or the Nubians care.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's rude, foul-mouthed and grumpy but he's not actually a bad guy. He's sympathetic to Maya's plight and even tries to comfort her after telling her the harsh truth about Vought having staged her parents heroic deeds. He also seems genuinely happy for her when their plan to get them back together works - before that results in him getting beaten up again, that is.
- Mistaken for Pedophile: He worries that Maya coming to him for help is how this could be interpreted, she even uses this to blackmail him. Her parents also beat him up for thinking this.
- Punch-Clock Villain: Literally. His going to the dark side and becoming a minor villain to the Nubians was a storyline Vought engineered. He isn't actually evil, he just plays the part for the "continuity".
- Sir Swears-a-Lot: He seemingly can't go two sentences without a swear word and unlike Maya's parents, he doesn't bother to watch his language when she's in the room.
- Team Member in the Adaptation: Inverted. In the comics he was a member of the G-Men, in the series there seems to be no connection.
- Uncertain Doom: It's not clear if he survived the savage beating that the Nubians gave him after they thought he was a pedophile. We just now a lot of his blood was splattered.
- Wolverine Wannabe: Basically a "villainous" version of Wolverine.
Episode 7: John and Sun-Hee
John
Voiced by: Randall Duk Kim
Sun-Hee
Voiced by: Youn Yuh-jung
An old woman on her death throes from cancer, her husband brings and uses Compound V on her to try and save her life.- Heroic Sacrifice: Gives her life to stop the Cancer creature.
- Token Heroic Orc: After being empowered she becomes one of the few genuinely heroic supes in the entire franchise. To the point she chooses to sacrifice herself to stop the Cancer creature despite being ensured to die if she does so. Even in her final moments, her last words are to motivate her husband to move on after she dies.
The Compound V Monster (Spoilers)
Cancer Monster
A strange and deadly entity born of Sun-Hee's cancer which threatens to consume all life in America if left unchecked.
- Eldritch Abomination: It's cancer given physical form by Compound V, it invokes this kind of imagery.
Episode 8: One Plus One Equals Two

- I Did What I Had to Do: They never wanted this, but they were desperate to stop the facility's pollution.
- Shooting Superman: They repeatedly shoot Homelander, even though he is Immune to Bullets.
- Sir Swears-a-Lot: The black female member, who's always dropping lots of Cluster F-Bombs.
- Too Dumb to Live: They just keep pushing Homelander, it’s no wonder he snaps and kills them.
