Introduced in Season 1

Dr. Serling Roquette

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

Species: Human

Voiced by: Tara Strong

Dr. Serling Roquette is the brilliant young scientist who invented the Fog.

Adaptational Job Change: In the comics she was a geneticist who came to work for Cadmus when the government cleared out the previous project personnel leaving her as the de-facto head geneticist while waiting for someone else to be hired in that position due to her young age and lack of experience. Here she works for a university instead and is no longer a geneticist instead being a nano-robotics inventor.
Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: In the comics she was a close friend of Kon-El/Conner Kent's who had a huge crush on him while the show her leaves her without any relationship with the show's version of Conner. She also loses her comic book ties to Project Cadmus and Dubbilex.
Age Lift: She was just 16 when hired as a Cadmus geneticist in Superboy (1994) while she's a bit older here, with a focus in a different arena of the sciences.
The Bus Came Back: After a single appearance in season 1, she returns in Young Justice: Targets, where she meets with Perdita to guide her throughout a tour of STAR Labs in Star City and secretly obtain a piece of Kryptonite from her.
Can't Kill You, Still Need You: Cheshire spares her citing this reason.
Complaining About Rescues They Don't Like:
- Snarks about being rescued by one person (Red Arrow).
"You couldn't bring backup? What, were there budget cuts?"
- Also complains about the Team being sent to protect her instead of the Justice League.

Deadpan Snarker: While being protected by the Team, she laments having to listen to a bunch of teenagers argue with each other.
Smart People Wear Glasses: Doctor Roquette is a bespectacled young woman.

Madame Xanadu

Madame Xanadu / Nimue Inwudu

Species: Human

Voiced by: Cree Summer

Madame Xanadu is an alleged psychic in New Orleans.

Age Lift: Comics Xan was around for the days of Camelot. Here, she's much, much younger.
Gratuitous French: Peppers her speech with French phrases, since she's New Orleans-based.
Magical Romani: Madame Xanadu was a charlatan conning tourists out of their money with cheap tricks from her shop on Bourbon Street. An encounter with Kent Nelson made her develop her own mystical abilities, and she expanded her shop to an important occultist hub.
Phony Psychic: Rather unlike her comics counterpart, she uses various props to scam people, which Kent Nelson says is a pity because she has "the perfect aura" for actual psychic work. She became a Not-So-Phony Psychic sometime between her first appearance and season 4, where she's become an ally of Zatanna's and a magical powerhouse in her own right.
Took a Level in Badass: Her encounter with Kent Nelson and Abra Kadabra apparently inspired her to study magic. In the time between Seasons 1 and 4, she apparently unlocked her long dormant and unused magical potential to become the most powerful medium on Earth by the time of Phantoms, and she's become a skilled magical ally of Zatanna's.
Victoria's Secret Compartment: Utilizes this for her payments.
What Happened to the Mouse?: When Madame Xanadu witnessed Abra Kadabra kidnap Kent Nelson and perform apparently real magic in order to make them disappear into thin air, she ran away screaming. What became of her later on remained a mystery... until she returned in Phantoms.

Alfred Pennyworth

Species: Human

Alfred Pennyworth is Bruce Wayne's loyal butler who assists his employer in his duties, both as Bruce Wayne and as the Batman. He had previously worked for Bruce's parents, Thomas and Martha Wayne, until their deaths.

All There in the Manual: He's more likely to show up in the tie-in comics.

Mission Control: Runs the Batcave computer when Batman and Robin are out, and has a video feed to what they're seeing.
Parental Substitute: Suprisingly enough, this series averts the parental relationship between him and Bruce. Word of God states that he deliberately remained emotionally distant from Bruce in his youth because he felt it was inappropriate for a butler to act as a father to his "master". He regrets that and has since become closer to both Dick and Bruce.
Secret-Keeper: Like everyone of his incarnation, he knows the identity of Batman and his sidekicks.
Servile Snarker: Not as well displayed as usual, but when Dick and Bruce are reacting to Ra's al Ghul falling to his death, he rather dryly points out that it won't be for long.

Iris West-Allen

Species: Human

Voiced by: Nicole Dubuc

Iris West-Allen is the wife of Barry Allen, and the aunt of Wally West. She works as a reporter for GBS.

Berserk Button: Not quite "berserk", but she really doesn't like Bart calling her toddler son "Dad," or calling her "Grandma." Mostly because, due to the time travel situation regarding Bart, she finds it extremely weird and uncomfortable.
Cool Aunt: Case in point — On Wally's 16th birthday, Iris congratulated her nephew on his birthday on GBS, before reporting on school closures due to the heavy winter weather.
Deadline News: In "Failsafe". Luckily it wasn't real.
Happily Married: To Barry Allen, the second Flash.
Interspecies Romance: Her (a human) and Flash II (a metahuman).
Little "No": In "Failsafe", when Flash is killed in the training exercise.
Longing Look: To Barry (as Flash) right before the above. It's all they can do live on air.
Nice Girl: Iris shows to be an all around decent woman.
Significant Green-Eyed Redhead: Like her other incarnations; to indicate her as the Flash's wife and Kid Flash's aunt.

Paula Crock

Paula Crock née Nguyen (formerly Huntress)

Species: Human

Voiced by: Kelly Hu

Paula Crock, née Nguyen, is the wheelchair-bound mother of Artemis and Cheshire, estranged wife of Sportsmaster, and formerly known as the criminal Huntress.

Action Mom: In her early days, Paula was a career villain. Then, she got injured and gave up the "life".
Adaptational Heroism: In the comics, Paula Crock (nee Brooks) was more sympathetic earlier in life (even original being an Anti-Hero) but eventually went full-blown supervillain after she Came Back Wrong. In the show, Paula was a criminal before her reformation, and she's gone completely straight (also, it's suggested she didn't go as far as her comics' counterpart, or at least for more sympathetic reasons).
Adaptation Name Change: Her maiden name goes from Brooks to Nguyen.
Battle Couple: In the past, she was an assassin pair with her now-estranged husband Sportsmaster.
Beware the Nice Ones: She's a reformed criminal and who's now paralyzed from the waist down, but she's not harmless. When she's angry she can be absolutely vicious.
Broken Bird: Becoming handicapped because of villainous career? Check. Being sent away for eight years because of those said crimes, and missing out on her children growing up? Check. Her eldest daughter runs away from home and the other is in the hands of your emotionally abusive husband? Check. Paula has been put through the wringer.
Career-Ending Injury: During a mission in her Huntress days, Paula got injured and it resulted in her paraplegia as well as a six-year jail sentence. For bonus points, she's unemployed now - she lives off a disability support pension.
Composite Character: Of the comics' Paula Crock (nee Brooks) and Jade Nguyen's (unnamed) Vietnamese mother - done to give Jade/Cheshire a family connection to the three established characters.
Curtains Match the Windows: Black hair and black eyes.
Dark Action Girl: In the past, she was a criminal assassin under the name "Huntress".
Dark and Troubled Past: A former criminal who took the fall for her partner, lost the use of her legs, and had a daughter run away from home while she was in jail. And now her remaining daughter has apparently died in the line of duty. On top of that, Kid Flash, who she's admitted is the only one who's keeping her together, is withholding the truth from her.
Disabled in the Adaptation: Her comic counterpart was never paralyzed, but she is wheelchair-bound in this adaptation.
Doting Grandparent: Implied. When Jade thanks Paula for babysitting Lian in "Complications", Paula responds with "My pleasure" before advising Jade to cherish as much time as he has with her daughter. The third season shows her spending more time with Lian, even singing along with her as they recite the nursery rhyme Artemis made up back in the first season.
Doting Parent: To Artemis — Paula does everything within her power to make sure her daughter gets the life she regrets not choosing.
Education Mama:
- Justified. Paula wanted Artemis to go to a private school in order to better her life...something she never did.
- By the third season she's still this trope. During Thanksgiving dinner at the Harper household, Paula talks about how proud she is that Artemis is working on her doctorate to become a college professor... and then becomes seething with anger when Helga Jace mentions Artemis is now active as Tigress again.
Evil Parents Want Good Kids: Downplayed, as it's more of "former evil parents". All in all, Paula would rather Artemis take up being a hero (at the very least) than take up "the family business".
Good Parents: She is a genuinely loving mother and a far better parent than her estranged husband, even considering her past; she was also determined that Artemis would have the opportunities she never did. Her daughter's teammates all think she's pretty cool, too, despite their less-than-stellar opinion of Jade and Lawrence.
Heel–Face Turn: According to the tie-in comic, she's given up 'the life'. Further emphasized by her having been in jail. In "Insecurity", it was revealed she once held the alias of Huntress.
Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Formerly, she was the Tiny Girl to Sportsmaster's Huge Guy.
Locked Out of the Loop: No one told her about Artemis becoming Tigress again in the third season, and she's very mad when Helga accidentally mentions it (thinking Paula already knew).
Missing Mom: To Jade and Artemis, as she spent the next six years in jail for her crimes.
Morality Chain: Downplayed to Jade; while it's implied her eldest daughter always hated her father for his abuse, it was Paula's imprisonment that was the deciding factor for her to run away from home, thus entering into a life of crime. Despite that, Jade is not a heartless criminal, as she has love for Paula, Artemis, Roy, and Lian.
Nice Girl: She's a caring and loving person.
Older Than She Looks: She's 48 (53 after the timeskip), but could pass for someone in their mid-thirties.
Parents as People: Seasons 3 and 4 have started to show a somewhat unpleasant side to her in regards to her thoughts on what Artemis and Jade should be doing with their lives. Whereas Sportsmaster was more focused on physical abuse to mold his children into hardened killers, Paula has shown shades of emotional abuse in trying to force them to adhere to a normal, safer lifestyle. It's largely implied that Paula was aware of how Crusher treated their kids and was fine with this behavior up until she got crippled and was sent to prison.
- She wants Artemis to have a normal life, and becomes visibly enraged when she finds out in season 3 that Artemis is back in the field as Tigress. While Paula tries to use her own disability as an example of what might happen to Artemis, she then tries to implore her to hook up with Will in spite of the fact he's still married to Jade and the awkwardness of him being Artemis's brother-in-law. Paula even phrases it as giving Lian a mother just to drive the knife in further.
- She expresses her belief that Jade is Beyond Redemption since she left Will and Lian to go back to being Cheshire, but in season 4 she reveals she's known how to contact Jade this whole time and knew that Jade left because the League of Shadows has been trying to kill her for betraying them. In this sense, Paula knew all along why Jade seemingly abandoned her family and never told Will why Jade actually thought they were better off without her. * Race Lift: From white to Vietnamese.
Reformed Criminal: Turned in her villainous ways to become a better parent to the one of her two children who was still around.
Retired Badass: She was once a famous villain. Now, she's just a doting, stay-at-home mom.
Shipper on Deck: In season 3, she notices Artemis' attraction for Will and advises her to be with him.
Unholy Matrimony: In the past, she was an assassin with her now-estranged husband Sportsmaster.
Villainous Cheekbones: Zigzagged. She has high cheekbones and was the villainous Huntress before her accident that resulted in her paraplegia, made her decided to give up crime.

Lucas "Snapper" Carr

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

By the time of Outsiders, he's the new principal of HHHS.

The Bus Came Back: Shows up a few times in Season 1, and his relationship with the League is strictly All in the Manual. Pops in for a crucial role in the Season 2 finale. By Season 3 he's a frequent visitor to Conner and M'gann's house for the Outsiders' training.
Cool Teacher: Becomes this, years later; Carr became a civics teacher at Happy Harbor High School. By Season 3, he's now Putting the "Pal" in Principal.
Creator Cameo: Greg Weisman voices him and is one of the two co-directors of the series.
In-Series Nickname: Nicknamed "Snapper" for his habit of snapping his fingers.
Mission Control: Takes this role in the series finale, since literally every other hero is busy.
Nice Job Guiding Us, Hero: Was tricked by the Joker into leading him directly to Justice League headquarters. The mountain hideout at Happy Harbor was abandoned as a result.
Tagalong Kid: To the Justice League back in the day.
Unwitting Pawn: His carelessness led to the discovery of the Cave by the Joker in 2006.

Amanda Waller

Species: Human

Voiced by: Sheryl Lee Ralph

Amanda Waller is the former warden of Belle Reve Penitentiary.

Anti-Villain: She's technically on the same side as the heroes in opposing the Light and other villains that threaten Earth, but her extreme methods put her at odds with them.
Black Boss Lady: African-American and the warden of Belle Reve.
The Bus Came Back: After being absent since Terrors in Season 1, when she was replaced as warden of Bell Reve, she returns in the second half of Outsiders, still working for the American government as the supervisor of Task Force X.
Deadpan Snarker: The (super-powered) inmates take over her prison and throw her into a cell, and she just does not give a crap.
Icicle Sr.: (holding Waller by her tie) Tell me how you did this, or I swear you won't thaw for a millennium!
Waller: At which point you will still be in Belle Reve.
Defiant to the End: Despite being held hostage and her life threatened, she refuses to comply with the villains at Bell Reve prison.
Determinator: Stubborn to a fault.
Fat Bitch: She's an overweight and very unpleasant woman.
Good Is Not Nice: Amanda is tough, intimidating, stubborn, and harsh, traits required for a job as intense as warden of Belle Reve.
Horrible Judge of Character: She's as hardcore as any of her other incarnations, but makes one fatal mistake - assuming Hugo Strange is a harmless armchair psychologist.
Iron Lady: If she wasn't, she wouldn't be Waller.
"I am not your mother, your maiden aunt, or your friend. I am your warden, and you are my prisoners."
Locked Out of the Loop: Was completely ignorant about the existence of The Team until Black Manta offhandedly tells her about it.

Queen Perdita of Vlatava

Queen Perdita Vladek of Vlatava

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yjo_perdita_2.png

^{Click here to see her as a 10-year-old}

Species: Human

Voiced by: Ariel Winter (Season 1), Hynden Walch (Outsiders)

The young queen of Vlatava.

Adaptation Dye-Job: She was brunette in DC Showcase: Green Arrow. Her Young Justice incarnation is blonde.
The Bus Came Back: She returns in Outsiders as Beast Boy's girlfriend.
Canon Immigrant: Her only prior appearance was in DC Showcase: Green Arrow, where Ariel Winter also voiced her.
A Child Shall Lead Them: Queen of Vlatava at age ten.
Damsel out of Distress: When Psimon kidnaps her, she quickly turns the tables on the psychic and defeats him before the Team even arrives.
Decomposite Character: For Tara Markov aka Terra, who had a famous romance with Beast Boy. Like Tara, Perdita is the blonde princess of a fictional Slavic country who dates Beast Boy. Tara's character arc is a lot more self-contained as a result.
Engineered Public Confession: Learning offscreen that her uncle tried to sabotage her heart surgery, she stays hidden after it was a success, making Vertigo believe she died so he can brag about getting the throne and holding his diplomatic immunity. She records it all before revoking said immunity, allowing Kid Flash to finally take him down.
Interspecies Romance: She (a human) was in a relationship with Beast Boy, who's a metahuman.
Love Cannot Overcome: In the depths of Beast Boy's depression, where he rejects all pleas to seek help, Perdita firmly tells him she doesn't do breaks and won't stick around to watch him self-destruct. Beast Boy coldly shows her the door.
Nerves of Steel:
- Carried over from the Green Arrow short, Perdita is never anything short of collected and poised, even when facing down a man who has tried to kill her. (Twice, if you figure that, as Weisman intended, the events of the short happened in this continuity!)
- When she gets kidnapped and telepathically tortured by Psimon, she doesn’t hesitate to attack the psychic the moment he lets his guard down.
Offscreen Romance: She started dating Beast Boy at some point between Invasion and Outsiders.
Precocious Crush: In the flashbacks of Young Justice: Targets, Green Arrow saves her from Merlyn and both are saved from Count Vertigo by Black Canary. Arrow proposes to Canary and Perdita encourages to say yes, or else she'll accept instead since "every queen needs a consort".
Royals Who Actually Do Something: The first thing she does after life-threatening heart surgery is assist in an Engineered Public Confession move, by hiding her fate and gathering evidence that her supervillain uncle tried to kill her, before revoking his title and diplomatic immunity. That is one tough kid.
Scars Are Forever: Whenever she wears a shirt with a low enough neckline, the scar from her heart transplant surgery is visible.
Uptown Girl: Perdita is the current ruling monarch of Vlatava who's in a relationship with Garfield Logan (Beast Boy), who's an up-coming actor.

Marie Logan

Species: Human

Voiced by: Danica McKellar

Garfield Logan's mother and former star of the short-lived sitcom Hello, Megan! During the Time Skip between seasons 1 and 2, she was murdered by Queen Bee.

All There in the Manual: Her death was depicted in the show's companion comic.
Bus Crash: She is killed by Queen Bee during the time period between the first and second seasons.
Complaining About Rescues They Don't Like: Does this when the Team stops Bialiyan troops from harassing her sanctuary.
Former Child Star: Starred in a cheesy high school sitcom. Dislikes being reminded of it, and left acting behind to run an animal sanctuary in Qurac.
I Am Not Spock: Invoked. She's initially a little annoyed by M'gann's fangirling, but she warms up when M'gann explains what the show really meant to her.

Older Than She Looks: She's 47 when we see her in "Image". She doesn't look a day over 30.
Psychic-Assisted Suicide: How Queen Bee killed her.
Revenge by Proxy: A victim of this; Queen Bee killed her as revenge against M'gann.
Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome: She dies during the Time Skip.

Wendy Harris

Species: Human

Voiced by: Massaya Moyo

A student at Happy Habor High School, who is friends with Marvin White.

The Bus Came Back: After being absent beyond season 2, she reappears for Conner and M'gann's wedding.
Nice Gal: Quickly reaches out to the new girl, Megan Morse, on her first day in school.
Secret-Keeper: Figured out many of her friends were heroes before 2020.
Ship Tease: In "Satisfaction", she and Conner have an awkward moment together, but nothing comes of it and she instead starts a relationship with Marvin.

Marvin White

Species: Human

Voiced by: Nolan North

A student at Happy Harbor High School, who is friends with Wendy Harris.

The Bus Came Back: After disappearing after season 1, he reappears with a speaking role right at the end of season 4.
Geek Physique: Marvin's thin and scraggly.
Locked Out of the Loop: He had no idea several of his schoolmates were superheroes until Wendy told him, at Conner and M'gann's wedding.
Shout-Out: Marvin's design takes more than a few cues from Norville "Shaggy" Rogers of Scooby-Doo fame, since Jerome More (who did Marvin's character design for the series) felt the original Marvin resembled Shaggy anyway. In fact, given how like Shaggy Marvin was in Superfriends to begin with, if anything the Shaggy resemblance is downgraded. No using "like" as a comma, for one.

King Faraday

Species: Human

Voiced by: Clancy Brown

King Faraday is an interpol agent.

Fair Cop: An Interpol officer.

Bette Kane

Species: Human

Voiced by: Alyson Stoner

A student at Gotham Academy.

Adaptational Wimp: In the comics, she's a member of the Batfamily under the alias of Flamebird, but there's been no indication that this has happened yet in the Young Justice universe.
Forgotten First Meeting: Five years after crashing Dick Grayson's birthday party, she has a one-night stand with him, but doesn't remember his name.
Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Along with Barbara Gordon, she helps take care of the younger children when the adults go missing.
Lovable Alpha Bitch: Rather mild example. She's dismissive of freshmen, and crashes Dick's birthday party with Artemis (though Dick seems to expect them).

Rumaan Harjavti

Species: Human

Voiced by: Bruce Greenwood

The president of Qurac, and a victim of Queen Bee's plot to annex his country.

Adaptational Nice Guy: Comic Rumaan was a cliched "evil foreign dictator", always threatening war whenever superheroes showed up in his country, who eventually wound up dead when he decided to trust the woman with mind-control powers. YJ Rumaan is not, but rather a legitimately elected official used by Queen Bee to take over his country.
Cain and Abel: His brother was working with Queen Bee, who engineered attempts on Rumaan's life so he'd get media attention.
Dropped a Bridge on Him: Only appears once on the show, with the tie-in comics showing some of the aftermath of that appearance. By the time of the time-skip, he's been assassinated.
The Scapegoat: As far as the people of Qurac know, he suddenly rolled over and let Bialya assimilate them. He was unable to redeem his name before he was killed.

Introduced in Young Justice: Legacy

Helena Sandsmark

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/helena_7.png

Species: Human

Voiced by: Mae Whitman

An archaeologist and the mother of Wonder Girl.

Almighty Mom: Implied in Invasion by Wonder Woman's statement that Helena would never let Wonder Girl go off into space. In Outsiders Helena tries to dissuade Cassie from becoming a public Celebrity Superhero, but eventually accepts it.
Brainy Brunette: Heck! Her smarts is what got her kidnapped.
Damsel in Distress: Kidnapped by the Light.
Struggling Single Mother: In the game, Batman alludes to her being this trope. Whether it is or not is yet to be seen.
Interspecies Romance: Helena (human) had a relationship with Zeus (a God).
Smart People Wear Glasses: Pictures of her in the video game shows her wearing glasses.

Introduced in Season 2 (Invasion)

Sardath and Alanna

Sardath

Alanna

Species: Rannian

Voiced by: W. Morgan Sheppard (Sardath) and Jacqueline Obradors (Alanna)

Sardath is a Rannian scientist and the father of Alanna; Alanna is the daughter of Sardath and has a mutual affection with Adam Strange.

Adaptation Species Change: Played with. In the source material, the Rannians are Human Aliens. Here, they look more like alien elves.
Aliens Speaking English: Played with. Adam Strange took weeks to even discover a means of communication when he was accidentally transported to the planet Rann. Miss Martian helps bridge the language gap during her visit with a psychic link.
Badass Bookworm: A scientist that people may expect to be a Damsel in Distress, but she can hold her own.
Daddy's Girl: Sardath has a close relationship with his daughter Alanna, and tolerates his daughter's affections for the Earthling Adam Strange.
Green-Skinned Space Babe: Alanna has pale yellow skin.
Human Aliens: Remove their odd skin color, pointy ears, and different language and they are human!
Interspecies Romance: Just like in the comics, Alanna has a mutual attraction to Adam Strange.
Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter: As it states above, Alanna is this to Sardath.
My Species Doth Protest Too Much: They're among the only Rannians that are okay with earthlings though they do fear the Justice League.
Scarf of Asskicking: Alanna wears a long yellow one.
Shipper on Deck: Alanna is able to quickly spot that Conner and M'gaan have a romantic history and even states that they seemed perfect together.

Lian Nguyen-Harper

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lian_in_2020.png

Species: Human

Voiced by: Kelly Hu, Zehra Fazal (Outsiders)

Lian Nguyen-Harper is the daughter of Red Arrow and Cheshire.

Adaptational Angst Downgrade: Her parents are married in this version, and her mother isn't a sociopathic monster, meaning she's likely to have a much happier childhood.
Adaptation Dye-Job: Zigzagged. When she was first introduced in the 1980s comics, she had red hair like her father, Roy. In the 1990s up until her death, she was depicted with black hair. For this series, given that Jade is biracial, they figured that they could get away with giving her reddish-brown hair.
Adaptation Name Change: Downplayed. She still keeps her "Harper" surname, her mother added into the "Nguyen" in this adaptation.
Babies Make Everything Better: Lian's existence has helped both of her parents in different ways — Either helping her mother make "drastic changes to her [Jade's] life" or being the motivating reason for Roy to stop with his obsession.
Blood Knight: Her father is worried about this. Her mother not so much.
Brainy Baby: Implied. Lian is under a year old, but was able say "dadas", when she saw her father and father's genetic template. She shows this further in the third season while playing with her hero dolls, saying "Now we go find Cheshire for Daddy," implying she knows about her mom being Cheshire and that her dad misses her.
Cheerful Child: Justified since Lian is only a baby. In a more darker sense, she laughs when her parents punch people.
Daddy's Girl: Lian smiled and laughed when she sees her father. She also implies she wants to find her mom so Will can be happy.
Dead Girl Junior: Her name is from her maternal aunt's middle name. Subverted and inverted since Artemis is alive and undercover, and Lian was born before Artemis's apparent death anyway.
Fiery Redhead: Lian has auburn (reddish-brown) hair and shows signs of becoming this (i.e. laughing at people getting punched).
Innocent Gray Eyes: Her gray eyes, inherited from her mother, represent her child-like nature given her age.
Like Parent, Like Child: She share her mother's love for the ultra-violence.
Red Arrow: Should I be concerned over the obvious delight our daughter takes in the ultra-violence?
Cheshire: It's genetic.
Red Arrow: Great.
Morality Pet:
- For her mother, Cheshire. Word of God even stated that the arrival of Lian allowed Jade to make drastic changes in her life for her daughter's well being. Jade probably would've left Roy for good, if she didn't know they would have a daughter.
- Lian's presence helped get Red Arrow out of his whole "Speedy" recon mission.
- One of the pictures that comes to Tara’s mind when she decides to Heel–Face Turn is of her holding a napping Lian.
Nom de Mom: She uses both her father and mother's last names.
Pink Is Feminine: Just look at her picture.
Related in the Adaptation: Unlike her comic counterparts, Lian is related to the Crock family.
Sleep Cute: Many of her scenes include being asleep during the action.
Spared by the Adaptation: In the comics, she was killed in Justice League: Cry for Justice. That hasn’t happened in the show so far, and likely won’t in the future.
Strong Family Resemblance: From her mother, Lian has her eye color, eye shape and smile. From her father, she has his skin complexion and red hair.
Tagalong Kid: Not by choice, but her mother did bring her on the mission to Tibet.
Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: She laughs at the fighting her parents, Cheshire and Red Arrow, are engaging in with an army of Mooks. This may be partly because she comes from a family of supervillains on her mother's side.
Villainous Lineage: Implied. Lian giggles with joy as her mother (a former assassin only recently re-reformed) and father (an Anti-Hero) beat up a bunch of guards at the villainous lair they took her to infiltrate.

Eduardo Dorado, Sr.

Species: Human

Voiced by: Bruce Greenwood

A scientist at S.T.A.R. Labs studying teleportation technology. He is the father of Ed Dorado, Jr., aka El Dorado. In Season 3 he becomes the director of the Metahuman Youth Center in Taos, NM.

Ascended Extra: A would-be victim of the week in season 2; he plays a larger role in season 3 due to traumatized metahumans being a large part of the plot and his son joining the Outsiders.
Canon Foreigner: Exclusive to the show.
Reasonable Authority Figure: To the kids at the Metahuman Youth Center. He's in charge of making sure they are equipped to deal with their powers and cares about their well-being.
Took a Level in Kindness: While not quite on good terms with Ed Jr. in season 2, they have a much better relationship in season 3; his son helps him out at the youth center through peer counseling.

Introduced in Season 3 (Outsiders)

Markovia

King Viktor Markov

Species: Human

Voiced by: Bruce Greenwood

The king of Markovia.

Death by Origin Story: His assassination is what leads Brion to become Geo-Force.

Queen Ilona DeLamb-Markov

Species: Human

Voiced by: Vanessa Marshall

The queen of Markovia.

Adaptation Name Change: Her maiden name is DeLamb, as she is Baron Bedlam's younger sister in this continuity.
Cain and Abel: She's the good queen of Markovia, while her brother is a supervillain and the leader of a criminal syndicate that participates in metahuman trafficking.
Death by Origin Story: Her assassination is what leads Brion to become Geo-Force.
Related in the Adaptation: She is the sister of Baron Frederick DeLamb, who is also known as Baron Bedlam.

Prince Gregor Markov

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gregor_markov1.png

Species: Human

Voiced by: Crispin Freeman

The crown prince of Markovia and the older brother of Prince Brion and Princess Tara.

Ambiguously Evil: At first, his coronation following the assassination of his parents is noted to be a powerful possible motive for his own involvement in Bedlam. Turns out he's completely innocent and his uncle is the one really behind everything.
Awesome by Analysis: Was able to see through his uncle's deception simply by seeing his skills with his own meta-abilities (indicating he's had his powers for some time, as opposed to his brother, whose lack of skills showed he had only just triggered his) as well as breaking down that his anti-metahuman actions were a smokescreen to cover up his dirty deeds.
Brainy Brunette: Gregor has black hair and has proven to be a calm, observant Reasonable Authority Figure.
Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: The fair and calm-minded Responsible to Brion's petulant and impulsive Foolish.
Good Is Not Nice: He's not evil and is working to restore Markovia to a good state. However, he sees that it's better to banish his metahuman brother to America than keep him around and risk a public backlash in the middle of an already bad situation.
Reasonable Authority Figure: Sees through his uncle's lies by pointing out the flaws in his accusations against Brion, leading to his arrest. While he does banish Brion afterwards, it's only because he realizes the country isn't safe for metahumans like him right now, and that he needs to focus on helping the Quraci refugees — who have nowhere to turn to — because his brother remains safe in America. It eventually costs him the throne. Brion with a psychic nudge from the prime minister ends up killing their uncle and taking the throne for himself.
Shoo the Dog: After their parents' murder by a metahuman, the discovery of Bedlam and their uncle's role in it, and Brion becoming a metahuman, he realizes that Markovia isn't safe for Brion right now and tells him to leave.

Kaizen Gamorra

Species: Human

Voiced by: Crispin Freeman

The Ambassador of United Rhelasia.

Adaptational Heroism: While we don't know what Kaizen's alignment stands in this incarnation, he's an ambassador of a country which is still a far cry to what his comic counterpart used to be, who's a psychopathic ruler who killed for fun and has an army of superhuman clones at his disposal.
Adaptational Job Change: In the comics Kaizen Gamorra was the ruler of a country called Gamorra Island (formerly Parousia), here he is the ambassador of United Rhelasia.
Adaptational Nationality: In the comics Kaizen was from a small country in Asia called Parousia. Here he's from United Rhelasia.
Age Lift: In the comics Kaizen Gamorra is a seventy year old Evil Old Folk who is always drawn with grey long hair, here he looks to be in his fourties and still has a brunette beard visible.
Mythology Gag: Kaizen Gamorra in the comics was a frequent enemy of The Authority.

Gabrielle Daou (Spoiler Character)

Gabrielle Daou

Species: Human

Voiced by: Zehra Fazal

A Quraci girl who lived as a refugee in Markovia, who died after being kidnapped and experimented on by Project Bedlam. Her body became the host of the spirit of a Mother Box (a sentient alien robot from New Genesis), who took on a new identity as the superhero, Halo, AKA, Violet Harper.

Adaptation Name Change: Her names are switched up in the show. In the comics her original name was Violet Harper and she adopted the name Gabrielle Doe (as in Jane Doe, having forgotten her past life).
Adaptational Nationality: She is American in the comics from the start.
Back from the Dead: Subverted. Gabrielle Daou really did die, and it was the Mother Box AI inhabiting her that lived on in her body afterwards.
The Mole: She betrayed the Markovs and let the assassins in before Bedlam used her in their experiments.
Posthumous Character: She dies upon being introduced at the beginning of Season 3, but remained relevant afterwards due to the Mother Box taking control over her body and assuming her identity.
Race Lift: Her counterpart is white in the comics.
That Man Is Dead: "Violet Harper" rejected being called by the name of "Gabrielle Daou", though she didn't know why exactly; until later on when she learns that it's because she's not actually the original Gabrielle, who really is dead for all intents and purposes.
War Refugees: The real Gabrielle Daou was apparently orphaned due to the Bialyan invasion of her home country Qurac. Afterwards she fled to Markovia seeking asylum/refuge, but was met with xenophobia by the locals. She became employed as a domestic servant in the royal palace, until she got kidnapped by Baron Bedlam's hired thugs and taken to a secret laboratory, where she later died from failed experiments to turn her into a metahuman.

Family Members of the Justice League

Anissa Pierce and Jennifer Pierce

Anissa Pierce

Species: Human (possibly metahuman)

Voiced by: Masasa Moyo

The daughters of Black Lightning and Lynn Stewart-Pierce.

Ambiguous Situation: In the comics, both Anissa and Jennifer inherited their dad's Shock and Awe powers and became 'sidekicks' to him, donning the identities of Thunder and Lightning, respectively.

Lynn Stewart-Pierce

Species: Human

Voiced by: Denise Boutte

The ex-wife of Black Lightning and the sister of John Stewart.

Amicable Exes: With Black Lightning, as she allows him to see their daughters during the night and then they engage in a non-argumentative discussion.
Functional Genre Savvy: Thanks to her experience as the sister of one super-hero and the ex-wife of another, she is highly skeptical of how well the latter's decision to permanently quit the hero life will stick.
Interspecies Romance: She (a human) was married to Jefferson Pierce/Black Lightning (a metahuman).
Related in the Adaptation: Due to their shared surnames and ethnicity, there was a longtime theory that John Stewart was Lynn Stewart-Pierce's brother in the comics, with her creator, Tony Isabella, even saying that he did this in case anyone wanted to write a connection between them, but it ultimately didn't materialize in comic canon. Here, Lynn is confirmed to be John's sister.

Don & Dawn Allen

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/don_allen1.png

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dawn_allen1.png

Species: Metahumans

The twin siblings born to Barry Allen and Iris West, also the future father and aunt of Bart Allen.

Age Lift: Of a sort. Their comics counterparts resided in the 30th century due to Barry and Iris being there at the time (long story), but are born in the 21st century here.
Strong Family Resemblance: Both twins have Barry's eye colour, and Don is blond to boot.
Supernaturally Young Parent: Don is the man who will eventually father Bart Allen aka Impulse/Kid Flash II, who time-traveled to before Don was even born. That doesn't stop Bart from affectionately calling him "Dad" when he's two (to Iris's dismay).
Superpowerful Genetics: They both have Super-Speed from their dad, making them literally quite difficult to keep up with for their non-super mom Iris.
Theme Twin Naming: Don and Dawn are phonetically pronounced the same.

Prince Artur

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/artur1.png

Species: Atlantean (1/4 human)

Voiced by: Kath Soucie (Phantoms)

King Orin and Queen Mera's young son.

Adaptation Name Change: Slightly. In the comics, he's called Arthur Curry Jr., "Artur" is a variation of the name "Arthur". It could be his Atlantean name, while his name on the surface is still Arthur Jr.
Spared by the Adaptation: His comics counterpart was killed by Black Manta during the "Death of a Prince" story. Here, he's very much alive and well.
Uneven Hybrid: 3/4 Atlantean 1/4 human, by virtue of his dad being a Half-Human Hybrid.

Amistad Ervin

Species: Human

Voiced by: Khary Payton (Outsiders), Kurtis Mansfield (Phantoms)

The son of Raquel Ervin, aka Rocket.

Captain Obvious: Points out Karen's pregnancy, to the amusement of others. Justified because of his age; What's obvious to an adult is an astute observation to a toddler.
Amistad: You got a baby in there!
Character Tics: He likes to roll toy cars' wheels to stim and pats his parents' hands to show love.
Creature of Habit: Due to his autism, he is very insistent on having things be a certain way, like bringing his wool hat to his father's or getting off at the right stop. Raquel has to explain plans to him before they go out and unexpected changes are known to trigger meltdowns.
Freak Out: It's shown that he's prone to meltdowns, something that looks like a tantrum from the outside but is more of a stress response. When Raquel tries to get him to leave without his hat, he starts to hyperventilate and then screams. When they have to get off at a different stop than usual, he panics.

Traya Sutton

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/traya1.png

Species: Human

The adopted daughter of "John Smith", aka Red Tornado.

Interspecies Adoption: Her father is an android.

Lois Lane

Species: Human

Voiced by: Grey DeLisle

A reporter at the Daily Planet and Clark Kent's wife.

Alliterative Name: As per usual, her name is Lois Lane.
Art Evolution: Lois made appearances in the tie-in comics set during Season 1 and 2. By the time she makes her first on-screen appearance in Season 3 her design now resembles her counterpart from the DC Animated Movie Universe.
Interspecies Romance: With Clark Kent/Superman. By Season 3 they've produced a son, Jon Kent from it.

Jonathan Kent

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

^{Click here to see him in Outsiders}

Species: Kryptonian-Human hybrid

Voiced by: Grey DeLisle (Phantoms)

Lois and Clark's son.

Affectionate Nickname: His parents and grandparents nickname him "Jonny" out of affection.
Age Lift: In the comics, Jon was (at the time of his introduction, at least) three years younger than Damian Wayne. But here, they are both infants with Jon looking slightly older.
Children Are Innocent: Due to his young age he doesn't understand the concept of death, meaning his parents and grandparents need to explain it to him when his Uncle Conner seemingly dies and he can't see him anymore. He seems to take their explanation well, but in the season finale once he finds out Conner was alive after all he lets out an excited "I knew it!" in response.
Half-Human Hybrid: His mother is Human, and his father is Kyrptonian.
Innocent Blue Eyes: A very striking shade.
Strong Family Resemblance: Just look at this spit curl and these big blue eyes.
Superpowerful Genetics: Although we never see it, dialogue throughout season 4 indicates that Jon is starting to develop Kryptonian powers like his dad.

Other Friends, Family Members, and Associates of the Heroes

Harper Row

Species: Human

Voiced by: Zehra Fazal

A student at Happy Harbor High School.

Abusive Parents: Her father hits her and her brother.
Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: In the comic, she is actually associated with the Bat family. Here, she much closer to Halo and Megan and is adopted by Lucas Carr.
Adaptational Wimp: In the comics, she's a Badass Normal superhero martial artist/marksman, part of the Batfamily who becomes Batman's other sidekick besides Robin, known as Bluebird. Here, she's just a student. Though, whether she'll go the same way as Karen Beecher or Stephanie Brown isn't yet known.
All of the Other Reindeer: On the outside of all the cliques, and befriends Violet and Fred as fellow outsiders.
Big Sister Instinct: She's been defending her little brother from their father for years, and the only reason she hasn't told anyone about his abuse yet is that she doesn't want to be separated in foster care. M'gann making her realize that she can't protect Cullen from their father anymore is what prompts her to come clean.
Curtains Match the Window: Blue hair and eyes.
Don't Split Us Up: That's the reason why she refuses to tattle about her father's abuse, since she thinks Social Services would take Cullen away.
Good Bad Girl: Gets kicks out of underaged drinking and trick shooting with a gun, but Harper is still has a good heart under the rebelliousness.
Happily Adopted: It appears that she and her younger brother Cullen have, by the time of the Season 4 premiere, been adopted by Lucas Carr.
One-Steve Limit: Averted, to her initial confusion. Her first name is Violet's (and by extension, Will's and Roy's) surname.
Parental Neglect: Harper's father is usually too drunk to see to her needs.
Secret-Keeper: By Season 4, she at least knows about Sphere, Wolf, the Zeta Tube in Conner's garage, and the fact that Megan Morse is actually M'gann M'orrz and a superheroine.

Cullen Row

Species: Human

Voiced by: Benjamin Diskin

Harper Row's younger brother.

Abusive Parents: His father was physically abusive to him, though his sister took the brunt of it.
Happily Adopted: By the time of season 4, he and his older sister have been adopted by Lucas Carr.
Secret-Keeper: By Season 4, he at least knows about Sphere, Wolf, the Zeta Tube in Conner's garage, and the fact that Megan Morse is actually M'gann M'orrz and a superheroine.

Dr. Silas Stone

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

Species: Human

Voiced by: Khary Payton

A scientist at STAR Labs Detroit and the father of Victor Stone, who is also known as Cyborg.

Adaptational Jerkass: He’s much more unsympathetic and unlikeable here, as while Silas is usually a Workaholic who ignores his son, here he’s much more dismissive of him, to the point where he’s unaware of Victor's 4.0 GPA.
Alliterative Name: Silas Stone.
The Atoner: Greatly regrets driving his son away, and by "Quiet Conversations", is willing to make up for his neglect of Victor.
Black and Nerdy: He's an African-American scientist.
Casting Gag: He's voiced by the same man who voiced Victor himself in Teen Titans.
Doesn't Know Their Own Child: He pays little attention to his son, not even realizing how good Victor's grades already are when he tells him to get them up.
Education Papa: He reprimands his son for prioritizing getting into college on a football scholarship instead of with good grades. That he even says this is just one more demonstration of how out of touch he is regarding his son, as Victor is a star student in addition to his sports skills. ^note
Jerkass Has a Point: Dr. Stone may be out of touch with his son, but the device he's working on is a highly dangerous piece of alien technology. He's studying it to make sure it's not about to do something incredibly harmful to humanity. Sure enough, when Victor unplugs it by accident, it fries him. Yeah, Victor, maybe you should let daddy work this one through to the end first.
Laser-Guided Karma: His neglect of his son results in said son becoming estranged from him, but the real karma is arguably from how when he wants to reconnect with his son, wanting to make up for the past, he is powerless to help, and only enrages Victor with his prescence alone. And when he meets the one being who can help, he gets to see an individual even more disconnected from people than he is, as Metron only wants to see Victor die For Science!. Thankfully, thanks to Conner and Jefferson, Victor is saved.
Leeroy Jenkins: In an effort to save Victor's life, he impulsively uses a Father Box to heal him despite not knowing how it works.
Love Makes You Dumb: He's in such severe shock at seeing his son dying that he's desperate enough to try using a Father Box to save his life.
Papa Wolf: Verging on Love Makes You Dumb, but Silas used the Father Box to save Victor's life, and when his co-workers gently disagreed, Silas angrily said he would do it.
Smart People Wear Glasses: Silas wears square-shaped glass and is a scientist.
Took a Level in Kindness: "Quiet Conversations" showcases him as being very regretful of how he neglected his son, and by the end, when the two reconcile, Silas is shown in a much warmer life as he talks with his son, presumably catching up on everything he missed and doing everything he can to make up for his past behavior.
When You Coming Home, Dad?: He put his scientific studies ahead of being present in his son's life. This bites him hard when a heated argument with Victor causes the accident that turns his son into Cyborg.
Workaholic: Like most incarnations of Silas Stone, only even more so.

Dolphin

Dolphin (Delphis)

Species: Metahuman

Voiced by: Tiya Sircar

An Indian teenager kidnapped as an experiment for Project Rutabaga.

Adaptational Nationality: Indian here, rather than an amnesiac American, as in the comics.
Blessed with Suck: Her metagene turned her into a water breather. While on land. Fortunately, Kaldur takes her to Atlantis where she's able to fit in among the Atlanteans, having effectively become one.
Disease Bleach: The activation of her metagenes turns her hair from black to white.
Light 'em Up: She's learned light magic by season 4, which proves useful when distracting guards.
Meaningful Rename: She chooses the name Dolphin/Delphis, the happiest creature in the ocean, to reflect her healing in Atlantis. Also a somewhat Non-Indicative Name, however, since Dolphin can breathe only water, and dolphins are air-breathers.
Mythology Gag:
- With her origin and Beast Boy transforming into a dolphin while helping her, it was all but stated that she was Dolphin before she got her name in-universe.
- On that note, her Ship Tease with Kaldur seems to be a reference to how she and Aquaman (Orin) had a thing before Mera (who abandoned him and Atlantis in the 1989 miniseries) came back, which led to her seeing Aqualad (Garth, who was already going by Tempest by this point) instead.Garth is seen watching her in one of the shots.
Race Lift: Dolphin was white in the source material.
Ship Tease: She and Kaldur bond in "Quiet Conversations", with their last scene together being her kissing him on the cheek before leaving... and then it turns out that he's already seeing Wyynde, making her attraction to him one-sided.Greg Weisman said that Wyynde and Kaldur already have each other as love interest.
Shout-Out: She resembles Princess Kida of Atlantis: The Lost Empire in terms of physical appearance, voice, and their association with Atlantis and water.
That Man Is Dead: She declares her old name to be dead, now that she's been genetically altered and endured a load of trauma from it, with the implication of a Dark and Troubled Past as well. She decides to start a new life in Atlantis and is assured that she can decide her name when she's ready.
The Unintelligible: As surface languages weren't made to be intelligible underwater, she struggles to communicate with other characters in Hindi due to being stuck underwater until Kaldur casts a Universal Translator spell on her.
Took a Level in Badass: After a year of living in Atlantis, she has learned Atlantean sorcery, using it to assist in the fight against Ocean Master and later to help Kaldur, Wyynde and La'gaan find Arion's lost crown. Eventually she's considered as a reserve Justice League member in case of future emergencies.

Calvin Durham and Sha'lain'a

Sha'lain'a

Calvin Durham

Species: Mutated Human (Calvin), Atlantean (Sha'lain'a)

Voiced By: Phil LaMarr (Calvin), Tara Strong (Sha'lain'a)

Kaldur'ahm's stepfather and mother. Both were initially associated with Black Manta (as his henchman and lover, respectively), but since left him and raised Kaldur’ahm without knowledge of his heritage.

All There in the Manual: Most information about them hasn’t been referenced in the show proper but is in supplemental materials and from Greg Weisman’s blog.invoked
Canon Foreigner: Sha'lain'a was created for this series.
Family of Choice: As far as Kaldur is concerned, Calvin is his real father, not Black Manta.
Good Parents: Although ‘’Legacy’’ and Season 2 indicated that Kaldur resented the secrets they kept from him, it’s clear that he still loves and respects them.
Interspecies Romance: Sha'lain'a met Black Manta, Kaldur's human father, nine months before his birth, and her husband Calvin (a former henchman of Black Manta) is also human.
Love Redeems: Calvin was a henchman of Black Manta who was given gills to infiltrate and destroy Atlantis from the inside, but he ended up falling in love with and marrying Sha'lain'a, and abandoned his mission.
Parents as People: In Kaldur's early childhood Calvin had trouble finding work in Atlantis and was often absent, while Sha'lain'a had severe depression making it difficult for her to leave the house. When they realized that Kaldur was trying to be the adult in the house, Calvin found a job and Sha'lain'a got help so they could become Good Parents.
Secret-Keeper: Neither of them told Kaldur about Calvin not being his biological father; he only found out from Aquaman himself, after Black Manta dropped enough hints to arouse his curiosity and keeping it further hidden would only damage Kaldur’s trust further than it already had been.
You Can't Go Home Again: Calvin’s new physiology makes it impossible for him to live on the surface world anymore.

Brooklyn, Maine

Tommi Tompkins

Species: Human

Voiced by: Mae Whitman

A member of the Newsgirl Legion and the daughter of Mayor Thomas Tompkins.

Adaptation Dye-Job: Most versions of Tommy Thompkins have had brown hair. Tommi, meanwhile, is blonde, to go with being partly based on Fred Jones.
Adaptation Name Change: Tommy Tompkins to Tommi Tompkins.
Alliterative Name: Tommi Tompkins.
Composite Character: Of a genderflipped version of the Newsboy Legion's Tommy Tompkins and Scooby-Doo's Fred Jones (specifically his Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated incarnation).
Daddy Issues: Her relationship with her father seems strained.
Decomposite Character: The Newsboy Legion's Tommy Tompkins is divvied up between her and her father, but she resembles the original Tommy more while her father resembles him strictly In Name Only.
Hero of Another Story: Given what happens to Fred and Mayor Jones in Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated and that many aspects related to that are also shown with Tommi and Mayor Tompkins, the implications of what's in store for them and the Newsgirl Legion in the future are rather interesting...
Missing Mom: It's implied that Tommi's mother isn't in the picture. While telling off the Outsiders and the Newsgirls including Tommi, Mayor Tompkins doesn't bring up Tommi's mother, even though it would be typical to mention how disappointed the other parent would be while scolding your child.
One-Steve Limit: Averted. It would be logical to assume that Mayor Thomas Tompkins's nickname is Tommy, which would make him Tommy Tompkins and his daughter Tommi Tompkins.
Strong Family Resemblance: Inverted. There's little resemblance between Tommi and Mayor Tompkins. It could just be because Mayor Tompkins is old, but if Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated is anything to go by, there's a reason for this.

Gaby Gabrielli

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yj_gabi_gabrielli_2.PNG

Species: Human

Voiced by: Grey Griffin

A member of the Newsgirl Legion.

Actor Allusion: She's voiced by Grey Griffin, the voice of Daphne.
Adaptation Name Change: Gabby Gabrielli to Gaby Gabrielli.
Alliterative Name: Gaby Gabrielli.
Composite Character: Of a genderflipped version of the Newsboy Legion's Gabby/Johnny Gabrielli and Scooby-Doo's Daphne Blake. Her recklessness in trying to record a livestream of the Outsiders' fight may be a reference to Daphne being known for being "danger-prone".
Meaningful Name: She's shown to be somewhat of a Motor Mouth while narrating her livestream of the fight.
Gaby: [Kaldur is hit] Oh no! Aquaman is hit! [Kaldur is thrown through a window] GASP! THEY KILLED AQUAMAN! [Kaldur gets up] Gasp! Aquaman is okay!
One-Steve Limit: Averted. Her surname Gabrielli (and potentially her first name) is similar to Gabrielle Daou.
Repetitive Name: Gaby Gabrielli.
Social Media Before Reason: She tries to film her livestream while being carried to cover, which frustrates Kaldur to a point.

Antonia "Big Words" Rodriguez

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

Species: Human

Voiced by: Zehra Fazal

"Well, I'll be superamalgated!"

A member of the Newsgirl Legion.

Composite Character: Of a genderflipped version of the Newsboy Legion's Big Words and Scooby-Doo's Velma Dinkley.
Cute Clumsy Girl: The gag of Velma losing her glasses in the original series is referenced when Antonia drops her "spectacles" when Wonder Girl crashes into her and is otherwise blind without them.
Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Thanks Wonder Girl for picking up her glasses by saying "Gratitude!" and expresses surprise with "I'll be superamalgated!". See where her nickname came from?

Mayor Thomas Tompkins

Species: Human

Voiced by: Jason Marsden

The mayor of Brooklyn, ME, and the father of Tommi Tompkins.

Adaptational Jerkass: Mayor Jones would at least be thankful for the Gang's sleuthing if the Monster of the Week was threatening to destroy the town and/or target him. More or less, the former would be because of the extensive property damage (that he would acknowledge was because of the monster and not the kids) and/or it's deterring tourists from the town. Mayor Jones was also a lot less serious & short-tempered and more Bunny-Ears Lawyer.
Adaptation Dye-Job: He's a brunette/grey-haired while Mayor Jones was raven-haired. This is more in line with how Gary Cole looks.
Alliterative Name: Thomas Tompkins.
Appropriated Appellation: While telling off the girls, he calls them the "Newsgirl Legion", and they happen to be based on the Newsboy Legion out-of-universe. This may also imply the existence of a Newsboy Legion in-universe in the past.
Comic-Book Fantasy Casting: Like in Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated with Mayor Jones, Mayor Tompkins resembles Gary Cole, Mayor Jones's voice actor. Jason Marsden's performance doesn't seem to be an impression of Gary Cole except for possibly his angry lines.
Composite Character: Of the Newsboy Legion's Tommy and Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated's Mayor Fred Jones Sr., although he's essentially just Mayor Jones with another name while the only thing he shares with Tommy is their names.
Decomposite Character: Tommy of the Newsboy Legion is split between Tommi and Mayor Tompkins, but Tommi has more in common with her inspiration while her father seems to be a tribute In Name Only.
Expy: Of Mayor Fred Jones Sr. from Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated.
Hate Sink: He's a jerkass that tries to get a bunch of superhero teens and his daughter's groupie arrested for stopping a supervillain for a petty reason. Aquaman and the Outsiders have no patience for him and put him into his place when he tries to stop them from doing their jobs.
Jerkass: He's an unpleasant man that tries to get a bunch of superheroes, his daughter, and his daughter's friends arrested for stopping a supervillain's evil schemes in his town because someone has to be responsible for the property damage.
Mayor Pain: He's the town mayor and a jerk at that too.
Mythology Gag: Him sharing his name with Tommi may double as a reference to Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated and the Newsboy Legion in the comics, where the Pre-Crisis Newsboy Legion became scientists and created younger clones of themselves (their "sons") that would form the Post-Crisis incarnation of the Newsboy Legion.
Obstructive Bureaucrat: Provides an example of one of Season 3's cases of politicians getting in the way of superhero work.
One-Steve Limit: Averted. It would be logical to assume that his nickname is Tommy, which would make him Tommy Tompkins and his daughter Tommi Tompkins.
Politically Incorrect Villain: He tries to get the Outsiders arrested for property damage, partly because he believes them to be reckless due to their age.
Strong Family Resemblance: Inverted. There's little resemblance between Tommi and Mayor Tompkins. It could just be because Mayor Tompkins is old, but if Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated is anything to go by, there's a reason for this.
Sudden Eye Color: He has brown eyes, which you couldn't tell in Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated due to the Black Bead Eyes artstyle. This is in line with how Gary Cole looks.
Ungrateful Bastard: He tries to get the Outsiders and the Newsgirl Legion arrested for property damage they caused while fighting the Reach. Though when they take down the real Reach, he's forced to let them go when Sheriff Maguire overrules him, but he's not happy about it.

Sheriff Patrick Maguire

Species: Human

Voiced by: Troy Baker

The sheriff of Brooklyn, ME.

Adaptational Nice Guy: After the Outsiders stop a Reach invasion on Brooklyn, he drops the charges (stating that the Good Samaritan laws are in place) and gratefully thanks them for protecting their town.
Adaptation Name Change: In the source material, his last name is spelled MacGuire, rather than Maguire. It's also not indicated if he goes by his nickname, Scrapper.
Adaptation Personality Change: He's slightly less goofy than Sheriff Stone due to the show's more realistic and serious atmosphere, though he's also more friendlier. He's also definitely less of Extreme Doormat, as he ultimately overrules Mayor Tompkin's orders to arrest the Outsiders and cites that they're protected by Good Samaritan laws, whereas Sheriff Stone was a Yes-Man to Mayor Jones even though New York City is the only place in America where the Mayor is in charge of the local police department.
Age Lift: In the source material, Scrapper was a member of the Newsboy Legion and was the same age as his peers. Here, he's an adult and old enough to be their father.
Comic-Book Fantasy Casting Sheriff Maguire resembles Patrick Warburton (the voice of Sheriff Stone) but with a mustache, just like Sheriff Stone. Additionally, Troy Baker does an impression of Patrick Warburton for his role as Sheriff Maguire.
Composite Character: Of the Newsboy Legion's Patrick "Scrapper" MacGuire and Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated's Sheriff Bronson Stone, although he's essentially just Sheriff Stone with another name while the only thing he shares with Scrapper is their slightly different names.
Expy: Of Sheriff Bronson Stone from Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated.
Mythology Gag: Him being based on a Newsboy Legion member but being older than the rest of the Newsgirl Legion may be a reference to how the Post-Crisis Newsboy Legion were younger clones/"sons" of the Pre-Crisis Newsboy Legion.
Reasonable Authority Figure: Unlike his inspiration, he's more open and rational, overruling the mayor's orders and understanding that they need help from superheroes against the Reach.
Sudden Eye Color: He has light blue eyes, which you couldn't tell in Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated due to the Black Bead Eyes artstyle. This is in line with how Patrick Warburton looks.
Tuckerization: He shares his first name, Patrick, with Patrick Warburton, the voice of Sheriff Stone.

LA, California

Angel O'Day

Species: Human

Voiced by: Danica McKellar

The Cameo: Angel, her father and sister make an appearance in the flashback stories of "Targets", being present during the assassination attempt on Perdita's family.
Mythology Gag: Takes a selfie with Gar shape-shifted into a gorilla. Angel's comic counterpart is one half of the investigative due Angel and the Ape, the "ape" half being provided by Simon the Gorilla.
Related in the Adaptation: Maybe. In the comics, Thena O'Day is her half-sister.

Other

Hro Talak

Species: Thanagarian

Voiced by: Mark Rolston

A Thanagarian who the Justice League temporarily works with.

Adaptational Nice Guy: Only by comparison. Justice League Hro was a willing part of the Thanagarian's genocidal plan who stepped up to attacking Hawkgirl, his lover. Here, Hro is merely a jerkwad.
Decomposite Character: The original Hro was a Corrupted Character Copy of Hawkman. Here, they're separate Thanagarians.
Jerkass: Rude, surly and dismissive towards the Justice League.

Introduced in Season 4 (Phantoms)

Mars

Em'ree J'onzz

Em'ree J'onzz/M'ree M'orzz

Species: Martian (Green)

Voiced by: Hynden Walch

One of M'gann's many sisters, she seems to show an aptitude for science, judging by the fact that she's heading up the initiative to construct a Mars-Earth Zeta Tube.

Innocently Insensitive: Takes on the form of Megan to tease M'gann, which ends up creeping out Beast Boy since she as a result resembles his late mother. She then changes form to her own personal favorite Hello, Megan! character, who was played by Rita Farr. This, however, STILL bothers Beast Boy, since Rita adopted him after his mother's death before dying herself, but he pretends that it's fine.
Meaningful Rename: Originally named M'ree M'orzz, but at some point since M'gann saw her last decided to change it - and while she doesn't explicitly say so, it's clearly an attempt to hide her White Martian heritage by using her Green mother's family name instead. M'gann is upset about this, though Em'ree assures her their father is okay with it (we never actually hear his thoughts on the subject). When meeting up with her parents on Earth at Conner and M'gann's wedding, she tells them that she's decided to go back to her original name.
Serial Spouse: According to M'gann, she's been married twice, neither of which lasted.

M'aatt M'orzz

Species: Martian (White)

Voiced by: Carl Lumbly

M'gann's father, and a White Martian.

Casting Gag: Is voiced by Carl Lumbly, who provided the voice of Martian Manhunter in the DCAU.
Maligned Mixed Marriage: His marriage to the Green J'ann J'onzz caused many problems for their family, since White Martians are considered an underclass to the Green Martians and are seen as inferior at best and dangerous at worst.
Parents as People: He and his wife love all their twenty-nine children, but with the majority of them born to the privileged G'arrunn caste they struggled - and, according to M'comm, to which M'gann reluctantly agrees, ultimately failed - to teach tolerance and acceptance among them, resulting in their two A'ashenn children suffering discrimination both from outside and within the family.

J'ann M'orzz

Species: Martian (Green)

Voiced by: Kari Wahlgren

M'gann's mother, J'onn's sister, and a Green Martian.

I Have No Daughter!: Was disowned by her family - with the sole exception of her brother J'onn - when she married M'aatt.
Maligned Mixed Marriage: Her marriage to the White M'aatt M'orzz has caused many problems for their family, since White Martians are considered an underclass to the Green Martians and are seen as inferior at best and dangerous at worst.
Parents as People: See her husband's entry.

King S'turnn J'axx

Species Martian (Red)

The King of Mars, who was recently murdered under mysterious circumstances.

Death by Racism: His death came about because he contemptuously rejected S'yraa's plea to marry his son due to his belief that Red Martians were superior. S'yraa accidently killed him when she got upset at his rejection and subsequently lost control of her magic.
Fantastic Racism: Despite being a progressive advocate for the equality of Green and White Martians, he still believed that Red Martians were superior.
Hypocrite: Preaches about tolerance and equality among the Greens and Whites yet still believes that the Reds are the superior Martian race and contemptuously rejects S'yraa S'mitt as his son's suitor because she is a Green.
Parents as People: In spite of his failed preaching and hypocrisy, J'emm still loved and misses him greatly.

Queen J'arlia J'axx

Species: Martian (Red)

Voiced by: Zehra Fazal

The reigning Queen of Mars, who took over after the death of her husband, King S'turnn J'axx.

Reasonable Authority Figure: Authorized the construction of the Mars-Earth Zeta Tube and allows Superboy and Beast Boy to help investigate her husband's murder. It's quickly made clear that she reversed her husband's progressive policies not out of prejudice or hate, but rather to calm down the racist elements of the green Martian populace until her husband's murder is solved. She is a firm believer in his dream that all Martian races will be united one day, and she supports her son in opposing R'ess and his attempts to sway the green Martian populace to his side.

R'ess E'dda

Species: Martian (Green)

Voiced by: Troy Baker

The Consul-General of Mars, who blames the White Martians for the murder of King S'turnn.

Fantastic Racism: He's a Green Martian who hates both the White Martians, blaming them for the murder of the King, and the people of Earth, interaction with the latter causing what he believes to be the erosion of Martian culture. This causes him to butt heads with pretty much everyone outside the Queen.
Jerkass: Is a racist prick, who is all too eager to blame the White Martians for the murder of King S'turnn, and even bluntly states he's eager to see the case resolved solely so that it can be proven definitively to be the White Martians' fault. However, he also is disgusted by what he views as Earth customs infecting Martian culture, thanks to J'onn sending TV signals back to Mars and the progressive King S'turnn commissioning a communications satellite to open extended communication with Earth. This leads to him butting heads with several characters.
Moving the Goalposts: Spends the first four episodes claiming that a White Martian must be responsible for the King's death. When confronted with irrefutable proof that a Green Martian was responsible, he tries to spin it to justify upholding the caste system.

Prince J'emm J'axx

Species: Martian (Red)

Voiced by: Phil LaMarr

The Prince of Mars, and the son of the late King S'turnn and Queen J'arlia.

Dating What Daddy Hates: Was secretly in a relationship with S'yraa S'mitt, a Green Martian, something that his father (in contrast to his otherwise progressive policies regarding the Martian caste system) was staunchly opposed to.
Mythology Gag: In the comics, Jemm was a Saturnian, a race of red humanoids similar to the Martians who were later retconned as having been created by them to settle Saturn, and was known as Jemm, Son of Saturn. In Earth-16's reality, however, the Saturnians are instead simply Red Martians, who rule Mars as a class of ruling elite above the Greens, Yellows and Whites in their caste system. J'emm gets to keep his honorific by way of his father, the late King S'turnn, making J'emm the 'Son of S'turnn.'
Nice Guy: One of the nicest Martians that Conner and M'gann encounter on Mars; he politely requests for Conner to refer to him in a casual manner rather than follow the standard protocol when addressing royalty, he's eager to help with their investigations, and offers to attend the ceremony of building Conner's wedding altar. He also firmly stands up to R'ess' bigoted agenda, showing how his father's apparent progressive values rubbed off on him.

S'yraa S'mitt

Species: Martian (Yellow, formerly Green)

Voiced by: Zehra Fazal

A young Priestess who recently joined the Y'ellonn religious order.

Accidental Murder: She had never intended to kill King S'turnn; she was simply so enraged at his callous rejection of her relationship with J'emm that her untrained magic instinctively struck out at the target of her anger.
Unskilled, but Strong: Had magical talent that she had received some training in, but had been neglecting for some time until she decided to commit to the Yellow priest caste. This was the cause of King S'turnn's death, as her untrained magic had reacted to her anger at the king's dismissal of her entreaty to court his son, lashing out and killing him before she could even consciously react.

Atlantis

King Ryus Nereus

Species: Atlantean

Voiced by: David Kaye

The ruler of Xebel, and father of Mera, and therefore Orin's father in-law.

Adaptational Nice Guy: Only by comparison. He's not out to kill Aquaman, and doesn't seem to have raised Mera as an assassin, but he's still a colossal jerkass who likes breaking up protests by force.
Composite Character: Ryus and Nereus are separate Xebelians in the comics; Ryus being Mera's father and Nereus the current leader of Xebel. Here, they're merged into one.
Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Nereus is the only city-state representative not to vote for "Arion" as the new Annax. Pleasantly surprised, Mera begins to thank her father for supporting Orin for once... only for him to interject that he's voting for himself.
Obnoxious In-Laws: He's not trying to directly kill Orin, but he's not on his side, either. And he probably wouldn't be broken up if someone else killed him, if it came to it.

Prince Orm (Clone)

Species: Atlantean Clone

Voiced by: Roger Craig Smith

A clone of the original Prince Orm/Ocean-Master created by the Light as a decoy in their plan to put the real Orm, posing as Arion, on the throne of Atlantis.

Ain't Too Proud to Beg: Although he initially rejects Orin's help out of denial that he is a clone, he eventually swallows his pride and starts desperately calling out for his "brother".
Clone Angst: The clone Orm is quite justifiably shocked and dismayed when he realizes he was created as an Expendable Clone and all his memories are false. Since this series has been consistent that Clones Are People, Too, Orin sets him free by the end of the Atlantis arc, encouraging him to lead his own life and that they can be friends as well as brothers.
Clones Are People, Too: Orin does become sympathetic to his plight and ultimately hopes that he'll have a more brotherly relationship with this Orm.
Creepy Shadowed Undereyes: He has noticeable eye bags after being unmasked to highlight how unbalanced he is and the effects of supposedly being in prison for six years.
Fake Memories: He has the original Ocean-Master's memories up to the point he was jailed, and then some completely fabricated ones covering his time in prison. The latter aren't perfect, as the Light had to fill in the blanks based on what they knew or guessed - allowing Aquaman to realize this Orm is a clone because he "remembers" Orin coming to visit him sixteen times, when actually he went to the prison sixteen times but couldn't bring himself to see Orm.
Redeeming Replacement: What he's apparently set up to be now that the original Orm's dead for good, with Orin hoping that he and the clone can be on better terms.
Sympathy for the Devil: Both Orin and Miss Martian express genuine sympathy for the clone Orm. The clone, still in denial that he is a clone, rejects their pity at first.
Unwitting Pawn: He had no idea that he was a clone or that he was pre-programmed to lose to "Arion".

Past Characters

Lord Arion

A grandson of Vandal Savage. He led Atlantis, the city-state his grandfather founded, to a golden age. In "Ebb Tide", a Mysterious Stranger claiming to be him arrives in Poseidonis, which turns out to be an imposter clone with Ocean-Master's mind.

The Ageless: Inherited a variation of immortality from Savage, allowing him to reign over Atlantis for generations. Unfortunately for him, it wasn't nearly as complete as his grandfather's and he could still die from mortal wounds.
Benevolent Mage Ruler: Atlantis flourished under his rule. Thanks to the powers bestowed upon him by the Lords of Order, he's also the ancestor of the universe's magical Human Subspecies, the Homo Magi, and pioneered Atlantis's Magitek.
Crown of Power: He wore a gold circlet forged by the Lords of Order and used it to enact their will.
Death by Looking Up: His last act was looking up to see the head from a giant statue of his grandfather bearing down right on top of him.
Lamarck Was Right: Extended use of the crown imbued his very genes with magic, passing it on to his descendants, forming the third subspecies of humanity called Homo Magi. Justified because it is literally magic.
Posthumous Character: He's been dead for millennia; we learn about him through past narration in "Nomed Esir!".
Related in the Adaptation: The comics version of Arion has no connection to Savage.
