Amethyst
Princess "Amy" Amaya of House Amethyst
Princess of Gemworld
The heir to the throne of a magical pocket dimension kingdom, Amaya has many magical adventures but this is her first time joining a team that is based outside of her home dimension.- Adaptation Dye-Job: The original iteration of Amy had blonde hair, this one has has Sky Magenta hair.
- Curtains Match the Window: Amaya's hair and eyes are sky magenta.
- Foil: To Naomi. Naomi is rather tomboy-ish while Amaya is more feminine in appearance. Amaya is the heir to the throne of her dimension while Naomi is her dimension's sole survivor. Naomi is still rather green when it comes to being a hero while Amaya's already had many adventures.
- Magical Girl Warrior: Amethyst is a magical purple haired princess who fights using swords and magic and has training as a warrior.
- Only Friend: Amaya's actions make her a headache for the other Gem Houses, and Turquoise is her only stalwart ally and friend among them with the others trying to coax Turquoise into betraying her.
- Purple Is Powerful: A powerful Magic Knight explicitly tied to the color purple.
- Un-person: By the time Amy comes back to Gemworld from her adventures with Young Justice, this fate has somehow befallen the entirety of House Amethyst.
Teen Lantern
Keli Quintela
The kid with willpower
A young girl who hacked a Green Lantern Battery to become a superhero. She ran into former members of Young Justice and got sucked into Gemworld with them all in her first outing. Jinny Hex
Jinny Hex
Western Wild Card
- Affirmative-Action Legacy: Jinny is the lesbian, female descendant of Jonah Hex.
- Foil: To Tim Drake. Both of them are legacy characters and the resident badass normals of the team. However, Tim Drake has years of experience not only on the team, but also as a Bat-Family member; by contrast, Jinny's only now living up to her ancestor's example and is clearly not ready for the craziness surrounding the greater DC Universe.
- Gay Cowboy: Gay cowgirl, though it's more of a conceptual relation to the trope as Jinny is from the modern era, so the isolation and social rejection connected to the usual idea of gay old timey cowboys does not rule her life.
- Most Common Super Power: Unlike Jonah Hex, Jinny is easy on the eyes and rather busty for a teenager.
Naomi
Naomi McDuffie
Reserve Members
Aqualad
Jackson Hyde
"You want me to get in there? What kind of insane person would get into a glowing doorway with complete strangers?"
Young Justice #14
Jackson is Aqualad, raised as a human with his mother keeping his father's identity a secret his Atlantean abilities and being gay made him feel out of place and imprisoned in his own home as he grew older. He was a member of the Rebirth Teen Titans team, but after a bit of talking Impulse was able to recruit him to Young Justice.
Arrowette
Cissie King Jones
The gold medal archer
"What the what? Bart, come on, I told you! I don't do Young Justice anymore![...] We'll need to pick up my gear."
Young Justice #14
A prodigious archer who was one of the original members of Young Justice but quit superheroics after she nearly killed a murderer out of a desire for vengeance. She'll still don her Arrowette costume when her friends need her, and she keeps her skill sharp, but is no longer an active hero which doesn't bother her as it was never her intent to become one in the first place, rather something her mother forced her to do.
- Long Bus Trip: Where has Cissie been all these years? She's barely appeared since the original Young Justice ended.
Sideways
Derek James
"Oh my god! Impulse! Dude! Huge fan! Are you kidding me? Are we having a team up?"
Young Justice #14
A Gotham teen who gained the ability to open teleport portals after a catastrophe. When Impulse showed up to ask for help he jumped at the chance to team up, and was even more excited to learn he was being offered a more permanent position with the team.
- Enemy Mine: Realising that Derek's abuse of his powers has damaged the dimensional lines too badly for him to fix by himself, Tempus Fuginaut forgoes his assassination attempts on Sideways' life and offers to train him so that he can use the rifts to repair what he broke and perhaps save space-time.
- Happily Adopted: Derek's parents are both white and he's Puerto Rican. They couldn't be happier together.
- When his mom is murdered his dad eventually admits that adopting him was primarily her idea and with her gone he doesn't know if he has it in him to continue being a father to Derek.
- I Just Want to Be Special: Derek is initially not inclined to be a superhero for the purpose of doing good, but just put on the costume so he could exploit his powers for internet fame and fortune. His plan for dealing with a supervillain in his fourth issue basically amounts to teleporting the bad guy far away, making it someone else's problem as he mugs for the cameras.
- Made of Indestructium: The edges of Sideways' rifts are incredibly durable and can be used for constructs as small as rudimentary tripwires or as large as immense blockades.
- Super-Strength: A secondary benefit of the incident that granted his powers gives Derek a degree of super strength. Stronger than the average person, but not Superman level.
- Teleport Spam: More like a portal spam, but it functions the same way.
- Thinking Up Portals: Derek has the ability to open rifts in the fabric of spacetime at his fingertips and swipe them across the air to make them large enough to walk through to any person or place he can think of.
