The Syndicate
In General
- Appropriated Appellation: The supervillains used to work against each other until President Wilson started to crack down on them and referred them as "the syndicates of super powered criminals which beset this great country". This is what caused the previous inter-rivalling and powerful supervillains to team-up and form their own alliance, the Syndicate.
- Evil Power Vacuum: With Ultraman and several Syndicate heads dead, the surviving Made Men went into civil war to claim their territory for themselves.
- Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: The supervillains hated each other but they worked together against President Wilson and his anti-supervillain agenda.
Management
Ultraman
An alien raised by mobsters.

- Irony: Despite being a ruthless villain, he is a genuinely good parent to Ultraboy in stark contrast to Superman.
- Killed Off for Real: Killed by President Slade Wilson.
- Law of Inverse Fertility: Wanted to start his own family, but as an alien is genetically incompatible with humans. He tried to have a child created but the science wasn't advanced enough to do so. So he was pleased to find out about Ultraboy.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Of a sort. He was willing to forgive people acting against him if he felt they'd made proper restitution, and he was willing to let Power Ring try and talk him into shutting down Owlman's World Destroying Bomb plan after he expressed his doubts about it.
- "Well Done, Dad!" Guy: Immediately took a shine to Ultraboy, even giving him his father's name.

Arthur Curry/Orin/Barracuda
The shogun of the seven seas.
The Answer
A mysterious member of the New Management who has a thing with finding out the truth.

Alexander "Lex" Luthor
The leader of the Justice Underground.

Others
President Slade Wilson
The president of the United States on Earth -14.
- Crusading Widower: Ultraman killed his wife.
- Gone Horribly Wrong: Wilson's harsh policy against supervillains was successful, if brutal, when limited to a single state. When he tried to do it on a national scale, it backfired hard.
- Good Is Not Nice: His policies against supervillains are just as brutal as the villains' actions.
- He Who Fights Monsters: As pointed out by the New Management, Wilson's crusade against the Syndicate is turning him into an even worse tyrant than the ones he set out to destroy. The United States under his watch has been turned into a police state, and even underage members of the Syndicate that get captured are automatically sent to death row.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Wilson's harsh policy against supervillains is what caused the previously inter-rivaling and powerful supervillains to team-up and form the Syndicate.
- No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: He does this to a depowered Ultraman with a crowbar.
- Revenge Before Reason: Ultraman killed his wife, so he's ready and willing to burn the entire country to the ground to kill the Syndicate to the last man.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Prior to the formation of the Syndicate, President Wilson was eliminating the proliferations of supervillains in the United States by nearly turning the country into a police state. After the fall of the Management, Wilson went an all out war on the rest of the Syndicate in which it is justified for what Ultraman did to his wife and would do the same to his family and loved ones.
