Kid Flash is the junior partner and nephew-by-marriage of The Flash. He is a speedster in his own right, but has to suffer the ignominy of people never getting his name right: "Flash, Jr." "Flash Boy" etc. He is hotheaded and impatient, but quick witted and clever.

During the five-year gap between seasons, Kid Flash retires from superheroics to attend college. He is also still in a relationship with Artemis, and the two live together. Despite this, he sometimes puts on the costume in an emergency.
----
* AccidentalMisnaming: No one can remember his superhero name.
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Inverted. Comic Wally's childhood was miserable, with his parents being abusive {{Hate Sink}}s. Here they seem to be perfectly decent people, and Wally's last words include asking Barry to tell them he loves them, as opposed to his outright hatred of his parents in the comics.
* AdaptationalIntelligence: While Wally's smart enough in the comics, his mind is primarily geared towards physics and engineering. He definitely doesn't have enough chemistry knowledge to almost-perfectly recreate Barry's accident.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the comics Wally's explicitly noted to be more spiritual than Barry in regards to his approach to his powers. Here he's a FlatEarthAtheist.
* AdaptationalWimp:
** In other media, Wally is one of the most powerful heroes in the DC universe, with even his Kid Flash persona in the Silver Age being as fast as Jay and Bart, and his days as the Flash having him surpass Barry and become the fastest man alive. Here, he takes after his early days as The Flash in being actually slower than any of the other three speedsters, to the point of being a minor butt monkey. Unlike in the comics, this is not a self-imposed limitation due to his insecurity about replacing Barry, but a side-effect specific to his recreation of Barry's experiment. It has consequences.
** In addition to his speed, this version of the character has no access to the Speed Force, meaning that he can't steal or lend speed, create armor out of pure energy, or travel between time and dimensions. It also means no coming BackFromTheDead through ThePowerOfLove, as comic Wally has done several times.
* AdventureRebuff: Part of his back story in the tie-in comics: While he ''says'' otherwise in the narration, it's pretty obvious from the visuals and dialogue that Barry didn't initially want the responsibility of a sidekick and only agreed on a trial basis, after Wally gave himself superpowers.
* AffectionateNickname: Called "Babe" by Artemis.
* AlliterativeName: '''W'''ally '''W'''est.
* ArbitrarySkepticism: In "Denial" Kid Flash doesn't believe in magic, thinking it is some elaborate technical trick (possibly explained by one of his mentor's foes being a man who uses future technology [[ClarkesThirdLaw so advanced that he pretends it's magic]]).
* AscendedFanboy: In the tie-in comics, he explains that he was a big fan of the Flash when he came across his uncle's notes and replicated the FreakLabAccident for the third time.
* BackForTheFinale: Shows up in "Summit" after sporadic appearances throughout the season, although he makes it clear he and Artemis intend to go back into retirement "once this Invasion thing is over." Turns out to be a case of BackForTheDead.
* BadassBookworm: Loves science, given that he can recognize the formulas for Blockbuster and Venom on sight, and even recreated the experiment that gave his uncle Barry his super speed. His best subject is Bio, but he excels at every other scientific field (chemistry, physics, etc). He took AP classes in school, and even speaks [[SmartPeopleKnowLatin Latin]]. Some. Though admittedly it's high school level.
* BattleCouple: With Artemis -- as they work together in freeing the mind-controlled Leaguers ''before'' becoming an OfficialCouple and stopping the invasion in Paris.
* BelligerentSexualTension: With Artemis -- They spend most of the time arguing with each other but it's obvious (especially to Robin) that they are attracted to one another.
* BeneathTheMask:
** He states that he wasn't [[AngstWhatAngst bothered by what happened in the events of "Failsafe"]] to Black Canary, who's visibly unimpressed, doesn't buy it, and accuses him of being in denial. He doesn't refute it and agreeably remarks, "I'm comfortable with that," without breaking his devil-may-care attitude front. Other than that one choke-on-popcorn slip up. This act of denying or repressing his emotions is proof enough that he was affected.
** In the "Face Your Fears" tie-in comic issue, Psycho-Pirate puts the entire team into anxiety. Wally's fear was not being good or fast enough to be Flash's sidekick, let alone ''be'' the Flash one day. His uncle never wanted a protégé to begin with (which, admittedly, ''is'' true by way of comic issue #6) unlike the rest of his friends. Furthermore, with his [[BigEater usual]] [[ChivalrousPervert habits]], and status as the jokester of the team, he feels no one takes him seriously.
*** The worst part about this? ''He was right.'' Not being as fast as the Flash is exactly what leads to his death in "Endgame".
** "Coldhearted" cements that Wally's thoughts clash with how he acts on the outside. He tends to hide his true character under his cocky, "cool", supposed Casanova façade (a few fans have called it the "Wall-Man" by origin of the episode "Infiltrator"). The best example was when Robin came to congratulate him on saving the country, and he responded obnoxiously about how he's "the man". His real satisfaction, as we learn by his ''inner'' musings, was actually seeing Queen Perdita's smile.
** In "Endgame", he shows up to help Barry and Bart save the world with a huge smile on his face, telling them "Can't let you guys take all the credit!" As soon as they aren't paying attention, he gets serious and starts running as fast as he can. Bolts of energy start targeting him due to his slower speed, and he's disintegrated. It's heavily implied he knew this was the outcome, but also that they wouldn't have enough kinetic energy without him.
* BettyAndVeronica: The "Betty" (friendly and goofy) to Superboy's "Veronica" (gruff and serious) and Miss Martian's "Archie" -- though M'gann is only ever attracted to Superboy (who later reciprocates) and Wally making hopeless passes at her is mostly played for laughs.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Goes into a shouting tirade after Artemis "dies".
-->"They're '''dead'''. Every single one of them, ''[[RoaringRampageOfRevenge if it's the last thing I do!]]''"
* BigBrotherMentor: Although initially antagonistic towards Bart, Wally later makes it known that he plans on passing down the Kid Flash persona to him.
* BigDamnHeroes: {{Justified|Trope}}. Wally gets one such moment in "Endgame", when he sacrifices himself (even though Wally isn't that happy, nor pleased about it) by siphoning off the chrysallis' remaining energy onto himself. Wally fades away before finishing his last sentence.
* BigEater: {{Justified|Trope}}. His faster metabolism requires him to eat a lot. He's even got compartments for small food in his gauntlets.
* BirdsOfAFeather: With Artemis. While they are also an OppositesAttract type (a downplayed one), they are more of this -- They're both intelligent, yet insecure teenage heroes who resort to sarcasm and bravado to hide how much they care about each other.
* ABirthdayNotABreak: His sixteenth birthday party is interrupted by a request to run cross-country in order to deliver a heart in time for Queen Perdita's surgery.
* BlowYouAway: By usual speedster way of running around in circles (or spinning) fast to create a tornado.
* ButtMonkey: His HandsomeLech nature becomes an in-joke amongst the girls. Not to mention Episode 6, where he totally missed out on the BeachEpisode because he had school.
* CantActPervertedTowardALoveInterest: Wally shamelessly flirts with any cute girl in sight, except for Artemis, who he becomes an OfficialCouple with in the season one finale.
* CantCatchUp:
** Quite literally, in his case. To his dismay, he can't keep up with Impulse or Flash. "Go ahead, lap me. I'm used to it..." (Impulse then passes him) "Aw, come on!" It's implied something about their family line simply makes them better speedsters. Wally may have duplicated the accident that made the Flash, but doesn't have the genes to go with it. Tie-in comics reveal that teenage Wally feared that he was holding back Barry instead of helping him. [[note]](In the mainstream comics): In the mainstream comics, this limitation ended up being psychological: Wally's perception of himself as ''Kid'' Flash, even after replacing Barry, was subconsciously limiting his own speed. This may or may not be the case on the show. WordOfGod suggests that Wally's recreation of Barry Allen's lab accident didn't go quite as planned, and outright states that there is no Speed Force for him to make use of.[[/note]]
** And it ends up being his undoing in "Endgame", as his inability to keep up with Barry and Bart result in him being quite the target for fatal doses of energy.
** The reason given on the wiki is that he replicated Barry's accident with a high school chemistry kit. Because of the lower quality of the chemicals and the lower amount of energy to be the catalyst, his speed isn't quite as good as the other speedsters.
* CasanovaWannabe: He tries to win girls over by flirting with them. He fails pretty horribly due to how creepy his flirting is and the one girl he ''does'' hook up with, Artemis, wasn’t won over due to his flirting skills.
* CatchPhrase: "Souvenir!" when he proceeds to take an item connecting to the mission of the day.
* CharacterDevelopment: Wally West/Kid Flash matured from a joking, flirtatious, very light-hearted character who [[CannotSpitItOut refused to admit his feelings for Artemis]], to someone much more serious, responsible and a dedicated boyfriend.
* ChekhovsArmoury: His souvenirs are surprisingly turning into this.
* ChekhovsSkill: Inverted, as his lack of speed compared to Barry Allen and Impulse ends up being what kills him
* TheChessmaster: The entire climax of "Coldhearted." Wally really lives up to being TheSmartGuy.
* ChivalrousPervert:
** Has a tendency to hit on all the women he encounters, with the exception of Artemis, whom he [[ReplacementScrappy disliked because she "replaced" Speedy,]] [[invoked]] and Zatanna, who is clearly being crushed on by his best friend, but he's incredibly loyal to his friends. Wally is a hero first and foremost.
** Although he flirts with Artemis when they have amnesia in "Bereft" and meet each other without this baggage. Good to note that it comes out genuine, unlike his other objectionable quips and moves. It helps that to him, Artemis was an unknown civilian whose protection was his responsibility as a hero.
* DeadpanSnarker: Robin is snarkier, but Wally is deadpan-ier.
* DeathByAdaptation: Though comic Wally has died several times, it was as The Flash, [[DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist and his tether to Linda kept it from being permanent]]. No such luck here.
* DodgeballIsHell: After the flashes of his [bad] school day in "Infiltrator", Wally would agree with this trope.
* DramaticEcho: Many of Wally's "souvenirs" are either from exciting missions or, in rarer cases, humble ones (like in "Coldhearted"). In "Insecurity", however, after confronting Artemis about her trust issues, he replaces one souvenir with another (Cheshire's sai with Artemis' tracker which sent them on a wild goose chase) that represented her betrayal of his trust at the time.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: He and Robin do this in "Failsafe." Played far more seriously in "Endgame": Only Wally can go out while making a quip on how, "Artemis is going to kill me". Not to mention that calm look on his face when he tells Barry to tell Artemis and his parents that he loves them.
* FlatEarthAtheist: He doesn't believe in magic when he lives in a world chock full of it. He insists that [[ClarkesThirdLaw all the supernatural phenomena they encounter has to have a scientific explanation behind it]], even if he has to attribute it to String Theory and pocket dimensions.
** Justified slightly -- he mentions that the Flash proved that someone who was ''thought'' a magic user, Abra Kadabra, was simply a time traveler who utilized Clarke's Third Law with super advanced future technology to give the illusion that he was doing magic. Since he's Flash's protege, most of Flash's villains use science to do their tricks (such as Captain Cold or Mirror Master), and that both he and the Flash both got their superhuman abilities through chemical formulas, it's likely that he feels this way out of experience.
* FriendshipMoment: With Robin. Specifically in "Failsafe", albeit by actions. Aside from diving in an attempt to save his best friend without hesitation when he was pulled back to the mothership's core, there's the silent ItHasBeenAnHonor nod he shared with him before they ''died'' together.
* TheGadfly:
** Not as much as Robin, but considering that he spends a good portion of "Image" dropping hints about ''how convenient Bruce Wayne's appearances are'' just to see if anyone will catch on (and to annoy Dick) he certainly has elements of it.
** While Dick will troll anyone who deserves it, Wally seems to focus his trolling efforts on Dick alone. Issue #20 of the tie-in comics show that Wally also took the liberty of informing Zatanna when Robin's birthday was, and smugly telling his BFF "You're welcome" when she kissed him.
* GeniusDitz: Despite his frequent ditziness and impulsiveness, he does have a keen scientific mind.
* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: Apparently they can see in the infrared spectrum and are telescopic. They also prevent eye injuries when he's running at such high speeds, but that's not really unusual, unless you count the fact that usually GogglesDoNothing in fiction.
* GoodIsNotDumb: Kid Flash is no twit, as he may act like an immature and quirky teen, but he's a real expert in physics, biology, and geology.
* HeroesLoveDogs: In season 2, Wally and Artemis own a pitbull.
* HeroesWantRedheads: Has an obvious crush upon Miss Martian, although averted with his actual love interest Artemis, who is blonde (and he doesn't show much interest in the show's many other redheads).
* HeroicSacrifice: He dies to save the Earth from the Reach's endgame.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Robin I/Nightwing/Dick -- They have noted to be one another's best friends and have had moments that show how close they are as followed: Wally calling out Dick for whatever morally grey action he's done and Dick listening, Robin trusting Kid Flash to the point of revealing his identity (something that Batman told him ''not'' to do, and Dick taking a leave of absence following Wally's HeroicSacrifice.
* HiddenDepths:
** See BeneathTheMask for specifics. Let's just say he's a surprisingly good actor.
** In the Free Comic Book Day tie-in, when Psycho-Pirate amps up all of his insecurities, what boosts his confidence and allows him to overcome it isn't anything flashy, like being a superhero or a genius or saving lives. The thing that convinces him he's worthwhile is that... his best friend trusts him.
* HopelessSuitor: Miss Martian seems unsure how to respond to his flirting, yet it's clear she's ''not interested''. Wally, meanwhile, seems to be oblivious to her obvious crush on Superboy, or perhaps sees him as mere competition. Whatever the case, he continues his attempts to get her attention unsuccessfully. [[WordOfGod It's been said]] that his flirting is fueled by the belief that he's ''in'' the game and that she'll fall for him any second. By "Failsafe", however, it's hard to gauge (by him comforting M'gann and overall lack of subtlety on her part) what he's aware of and not aware of other than the fact that he has no idea they're a couple. As of "Coldhearted", Artemis told him of the relationship and he was disappointed.
* HotBlooded: {{Lampshaded|Trope}} by Aqualad that Wally is an impulsive hero, who doesn't usually think things through all the way.
* InsufferableGenius: In his own words (when Miss Martian was attempting to restore his memories); ''"Try not to let [my] brilliance overwhelm you."''
* InterspeciesRomance: Him (a metahuman) and Artemis (a human).
* IShallTauntYou: Not as often as Robin I, but Wally does love to make fun of his enemies.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Wally is immature, HotBlooded, and is quite arrogant. But, at the end of the day, he's a dedicated hero and friend.
* JumpedAtTheCall: By his own account, Wally got his powers by replicating the same experiment that gave Flash (Barry Allen) his. Allen's experiment was in turn a controlled recreation of Jay Garrick's accident. This doesn't stop him from retiring though.
* KilledOffForReal: In "Endgame", he is disintegrated when he absorbs too much energy helping The Flash and Impulse get rid of an energy field that threatened to envelop the Earth. To honor his memory [[TakingUpTheMantle Impulse takes up his mantle]], and to hammer the point home he gets a hologram in the garden like Jason Todd, Tula, and Ted Kord
* KleptomaniacHero: He has a tendency to collect things on missions as "souvenirs", some of which are stolen from villains.
* LeParkour: Incorporates a bit of this into his SuperSpeed schtick.
* LeeroyJenkins: Often extremely impatient and impulsive, Wally possessed an inclination toward recklessness, to the point of jumping into situations without forethought—a trait which often left him in mortal danger.
* LegacyCharacter: The third member of the Flash "family."
* LightningBruiser: In contrast to his cousin, Bart: Bart is ''extremely'' fast, but thin and not strong enough to carry someone while running. Wally tops out around 700 mph, but he's shown effortlessly carrying Artemis, M'gann, and Robin, even at 15.
* LikesOlderWomen: Age doesn't deter him from hitting on Black Canary.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: Being disintegrated by stray bolts of energy will do that to you.
* OfficialCouple: With Artemis, post-TimeSkip.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: ...''Wally''. Real name? Wallace.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: He drops the cheerful act moments before he disintegrates.
-->'''Wally''': Ah man, Artemis is so going to kill me for this! And don't even get me started on Mom and Dad. *soberly* Just tell them... okay?
** He even does so a little before that, when Artemis and the others on the Watchtower contemplate how to completely shut down the magnetic disruption, Wally just Zetas straight to Earth - no quip, no joke, not even a goodbye kiss to Artemis... ''[[FridgeHorror he knew he wasn't coming back]]''.
* OppositesAttract: {{Downplayed|Trope}} with Artemis. She's focused, rough and tumble while he's goofy and happy-go-lucky. Despite the few differences in personality, they are more BirdsOfAFeather.
* PairTheSpares: Initially has a thing for Miss Martian, but ends up with Artemis, who initially had a thing for Superboy.
* PluckyComicRelief: One of the main comic reliefs, but doesn't get easily discouraged.
* PrimaryColorChampion: His costume was yellow with red pants, red gloves, and yellow shoes, with a red lightning bolt within a white circle on his chest.
* RedIsHeroic: His costume is primarily red and yellow.
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: It's subtle, but he is notably tougher than he appears. In "Bereft" he took a blow from a pissed-off and BrainwashedAndCrazy Superboy, and got up unharmed and was able to carry a human easily. Since WordOfGod states that he doesn't get his powers from the Speed Force to ignore physics, his powers most likely give him an enhanced physiology to tolerate the stress of traveling at such speeds.
* RetiredBadass: Post-TimeSkip, he and Artemis are retired from the superhero business.
* {{Retirony}}: In "Endgame," he claims that this is his and Artemis's last mission before retiring for good. Whoops.
* SecretKeeper: Not only for Robin's SecretIdentity, and ''Batman's'' by default, but the fact that he ''does'' know is also a secret.
* SelectiveObliviousness: While one instance in "Denial" is debatable when Artemis comes in his souvenir room, it's safe to state by "Disordered" that he apparently chooses to ignore, in Canary's words, his "extreme reaction to Artemis's death", and the possible connotations that he may care for her more than ''he'' even bargained for.
* ShipperOnDeck: For Robin and Zatanna, in the tie-in comic.
* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: There are a disproportionate number of redheads in this show, but most of them have blue eyes.
* StepfordSmiler: Has some elements of a type A. Shown most clearly in "Disordered". Drops it in "Endgame", seconds before he dies
* SuperSpeed: Unlike the Flash and Impulse, who can travel near the speed of light, Kid Flash's top speed seems to level out around 700 mph or so, similar to how he started out in the comics. He also lacks the SuperReflexes of the Allen lineage. He averts FragileSpeedster because he can take a lot of punishment, and his fighting style involves a lot of charging and ramming enemies at high speeds.
* TheSmartGuy:
** [[http://i.cartoonnetwork.com/v5cache/CARTOON/site/Flash/i13/yj_showinfo_497x378_kidflash.swf His database page]] says he's a science prodigy. This is shown when he instantly recognizes formulas for Venom and Blockbuster.
** In "Denial" he mentioned that he got his powers by duplicating the FreakLabAccident that empowered the original Flash.
** In "Homefront" he talks Robin through making an electromagnetic pulse device to take out the two androids who've taken over Mount Justice.
** In "Humanity" he explains through a scientific approach how the androids are making a massive volcano that could cause an apocalypse.
** The sheer breadth ''and'' depth of his knowledge, coupled with the uncommon accuracy of his memory (he is never shown needing reference material, which even real world specialized researchers and academics commonly rely on for basic information) would imply borderline SuperIntelligence. The Flash family has had (to various degrees depending on the person in question) superhuman memory retention. Impulse, for example, could read and retain an entire library's worth of books.
* TeenGenius: Recent episodes have shown him to be as smart as Robin.
* TookALevelInKindness: Along with [[BelligerentSexualTension cutting Artemis more slack]], Wally has also toned down his InsufferableGenius tendencies over the course of the first season.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: His favorite food? ''Everything''.
* TheTropeKid: His superhero codename is "Kid Flash".
* VitriolicBestBuds: Constantly bickering with his best friend Dick.
* WhatTheHellHero:
** Wally is the designated "What the hell"-er to Dick. Pretty much anytime Robin/Nightwing does something reckless, inconsiderate, or morally gray, Wally will at ''least'' question him. After his death, Will notes that Dick relied on him to keep him grounded.
-->'''Dick:''' I didn't want my best pal questioning my objectivity.
--> '''Wally:''' Dude, that's what a best pal is ''for.''
** He gives a harsh one to Artemis in "Insecurity", calling her insecure and selfish for compromising the mission.
* YouthfulFreckles: It's starting to look like a staple for some redheads, if not all. No longer has them at the age of 21.

!!!'''Designation:''' B04
!!!'''Date Joined:''' July 4, 2010
!!!'''Status:''' Active
!!!'''Current Affiliation:''' The Outsiders
!!!'''Species:''' Kryptonian-Human hybrid clone
!!!'''Debut:''' Episode 01 ("Independence Day")
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NolanNorth
[=Superboy=] was designed by Project Cadmus as a clone of Superman, meant to replace him if anything should ever happen to the Man of Steel, or to take him down should Superman ever turn from Truth, Justice and the American Way. Or, in exact words, from the Light. He was freed from the influence of MindControl by Kid Flash, Aqualad and Robin, and after shaking off the brainwashing, made his own choice to join the others.\\
\\
During the five-year gap between seasons, he breaks up with Miss Martian due to having problems with the use of her telepathy. He also begins attending college but continues operating with the Team, unlike Wally.\\
\\
After the second season, Superboy leaves the Team and joins up with Nightwing and the others as a member of his private covert team, only to rejoin the Team in the second half of Season 3 and then the Outsiders in the season finale.
----
* EleventhHourRanger: He becomes a member of the Outsiders at the very end of Season 3, alongside Terra and Forager.
* AdaptationalWimp: In this adaptation, he loses the telekinesis, EyeBeams, ice breath, and flight powers he had in the comics.
* AdaptationDistillation: This version of Conner Kent skips past the vast majority of his first two decades of publication and focuses primarily on his angsty days.
* AloofBigBrother: Acts this way to all the "Freshmen" members of the team in season 2.
-->'''Conner''': Ugh, you freshmen ''never'' do the homework!
* AntiHero: At first, though he's been gradually softening. As of ''Invasion'', possibly from being under Superman's wing for the last 5 years, he has become much more heroic since his anger issues have died down and he's troubled by Miss Martian's increased ruthlessness.
* BadassInDistress: In "War," he is kidnapped by the Reach and kept in the Warworld
* BattleCouple: With Miss Martian. They break up in season 2 but patch things together near the end. At the beginning of season 3, they're living together and Connor proposes to her.
* BerserkButton:
** He will flip out when anyone mocks his lack of acceptance from Superman.
** Also, [[AllThereInTheManual due to an incident with an illusion of the Joker in Mount Justice]], he hates monkeys. And apes. Not that he's ever come across a ''normal'' ape or monkey, mind, nor one that ''isn't'' trying to kill him.
** In "Agendas" he does ''not'' take being stuck in a pod wearing his Cadmus suit again very well, even though it's ostensibly meant to heal him.
* TheBerserker: Conner has some...anger issues that he takes out in combat. Best exemplified when Lex Luthor gives him specialized shields that give him full Kryptonian powers -- it makes him more powerful, but it also makes him far more reckless and angry.
* BloodKnight: Fighting is something that he usually did on instinct, but when he escaped Cadmus he seems to enjoy the thrill of battle and it is also a good stress reliever.
* BettyAndVeronica:
** The "Archie" for Miss Martian's "Betty" (sweet and innocent) and Artemis' "Veronica" (jerkish and mysterious), though Artemis expressed interest in him exactly once, and M'gann was interested in him from the pilot episode.
** The "Veronica" (gruff and serious) to Kid Flash's "Betty" (friendly and goofy) and Miss Martian's "Archie", though Wally's overtures towards her are futile.
* TheBigGuy: Of the original five, as the one who relies the most on his brute strength and was, initially, the most raring to get into fights.
* BornAsAnAdult: Due to being a clone, he was created physically sixteen.
* BoxingLessonsForSuperman: Quite literally, in this case. After Black Canary embarrasses him in a training match, he quickly adapts and starts taking judo lessons.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Initially, while at Cadmus.
* BrainyBrunette: [[HiddenDepths Conner is a mechanical prodigy]] and has an encyclopedic knowledge over ''everything'' (due to the Genomes' programming).
* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: The hot-tempered Brooding Boy who [[WellDoneSOnGuy craves]] Superman's approval to M'gann's kind-hearted Gentle Girl who acts like the TeamMom.
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: Wears first a t-shirt (season 1) than some sort of short sweater looking thing (season 2), both with Superman's S on the chest.
* ByronicHero: Let's see: In season 1 we have a brooding pretty boy with anger management problems, and a rather dark streak that can make other heroes wary of him but is still a very sympathetic character.
* CharacterDevelopment: Superboy changed from basically a big ball of rage into someone much calmer and collected, even becoming something of TheHeart to the team.
* ChickMagnet: He was sought after by the [[BettyAndVeronica shy Miss Martian and the aggressive Artemis at first]] (although the latter only appears to lust for him). Also, the girls at his new school share an attraction to him in "Targets". [[CluelessChickMagnet Though the angst and his over-protectiveness of Megan was something of a turn-off]].
* CivvieSpandex: Like his comics counterpart, his costume is a black t-shirt with the Superman shield and a pair of jeans. Originally in short sleeves, he sports long sleeves in Season 2.
* ClarkKenting: When appearing as a civilian, he just turns his shirt inside out. Taken UpToEleven in the second season where during an interaction with a (non-hero) friend Conner is wearing his superhero gear, and a jacket.
* ClonesArePeopleToo: Despite having [[ThatThingIsNotMyChild "issues"]] with Superman, he has an independent life and is [[CharacterDevelopment slowly forming his own personality]].
* CloningBlues: Being a clone causes him angst of many kinds.
* ClothingDamage: ''Constantly'' throughout Season 1. It helps that he's usually the one to engage the enemy's heavy hitters.
* CostumeEvolution: Gains long sleeves and fingerless gloves in Season 2.
* CrazyJealousGuy: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. He is visibly jealous at La'gaan being with Megan. However, he's gotten enough CharacterDevelopment that he doesn't act crazy about it.
* CursedWithAwesome: He'll never look older than 16, which also means he'll look great forever.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Besides his red "S", Superboy's hero attire consists of dark clothing.
* DeadpanSnarker: He has his moments, with equal parts "Deadpan" and "Snarker".
* DefusingTheTykebomb: The entire team to him.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Played with absolutely no subtlety in Season 3 when he comes "out" as a genetically modified clone.
* FingerlessGloves: In Season 2.
* FlawedPrototype: He's implied to be this when the circumstances surrounding his creation are revealed. The Light wanted to create a clone of Superman to either replace the Man of Steel should he fall, or get rid of him if he became too much of an obstruction to the Light's Plans. They tried to make a fully Kryptonian clone when they created Match, but Kryptonian DNA proved to be too complicated to perfectly replicate and while looking like Superman and having full Kryptonian strength, Match proved to be mentally unstable and violently insane due to the flaws in the DNA replication. They tried again with human DNA to fill in the gaps, making a clone that was partially human who wasn't insane but only has some of Superman's powers. Since the Light was looking to make Superman's equal, they obviously wouldn't want to settle for a partially human clone with only some of Superman's power. Even though they created the shields to temporarily grant Conner access to full Kryptonian power, their usefulness was extremely limited. It's very likely that if Conner hadn't been found and the Light's cloning operations hadn't been discovered, they would have either found a way to permanently upgrade Conner with full Kryptonian power or he would have been used as further research on the road to making a perfect clone of Superman.
* FluffyTamer: First [[ItMakesSenseInContext a robo-sphere]], and then a wolf. It's justified in that he is a clone of Superman and can handle large animals.
* FriendlyEnemy: By Season 3 he's this with Icicle Jr., to the point of thanking him for his help in recognizing his feelings for M'gann and excitedly telling him about their engagement in the middle of a fight.
* GeniusBruiser: Strongly implied by his ability to repair technology from New Genesis and half his DNA being [[MadScientist Lex Luthor]]'s.
* GoodCostumeSwitch: His initial costume (given to him by Cadmus) is destroyed in the pilot. He gets his traditional outfit shortly after.
* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: By Season 3, he has overcome his demons and grown into a wholly good-natured man. Simultaneously, he and M'gann have rekindled their ([[SexyDiscretionShot heavily implied to be]]) intimate and exciting relationship.
* GreaseMonkey: Becomes a motorcycle mechanic between seasons.
* GuileHero: In "Terrors", he's surprisingly competent at playing the villains and getting in with them. Or not so surprising, considering his human father is MagnificentBastard Lex Luthor.
* HairTriggerTemper: Can go from zero to [[TheBerserker AAAARRRRRRRHHHHHGGG]] in the time it takes you to look at him funny, particularly if you push one of his buttons. [[CharacterDevelopment Tamped down gradually over time]].
* HalfHumanHybrid: It turns out that like in the comics, Superboy is the half-Kryptonian, half-human hybrid clone of Superman and Lex Luthor.
* HasTwoDaddies: Half of his DNA is Superman's, the other half is Lex Luthor's.
* TheHeart: Despite all his rough edges, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold or perhaps because of them]], Conner is pretty much always the first one to call WhatTheHellHero when anyone steps out of line and can be relied on to stand up for anyone, even insane clones or berserking golems.
* HeelFaceTurn: Shortly after he first meets the team.
* HeroesLoveDogs: Superboy was the one to suggest bringing Wolf onto the Team and he's almost always seen with Wolf (along with Sphere).
* HeroesWantRedheads: Connor eventually falls for redhead M'gann.
* HeroicBastard: His "fathers", Superman and Lex Luthor, are not married. In fact, they're each other's ArchEnemy.
* HiddenDepths:
** There's actually a reasonably well-tuned brain behind all that superpowered berserker rage.
** He is frequently seen working on and presumably repairing Sphere, indicating that he's a mechanical and engineering prodigy, possibly stemming from his human parent, Lex Luthor. He later makes a career out of this.
* HomosexualReproduction: His two genetic "fathers" are Superman and Lex Luthor.
* HotBlooded: Attacks everything in his life with a raging temper. Whenever Superboy is fighting in battle he's always on the verge of [[ScreamingWarrior screaming while going on a]] [[UnstoppableRage rampage]].
* HotterAndSexier: He's a lot more attractive and muscular by Season 3, even wearing a black tank top that shows off his bigger physique. Season 3 also not so subtly implies that he and M'gann are sexually intimate with each other.
* HotForTeacher: Towards Black Canary, as indicated by the shapeshifting roleplay the security cameras pick up on him and M'gann playing (M'gann takes the form of Black Canary, mid-training, they make-out before she shifts back).
* HowDoIShotWeb: Deals with this a bit in his introduction; he apparently knows he's a clone of Superman but not about the slight differences in their power sets.
* InASingleBound: He does this in almost every episode. He's heartbroken in the series premiere when he realizes he can't actually ''fly''.
* InnocentFanserviceGuy: When M'gann tells him he can't wear what he normally does to wear at school, he promptly changes. In front of her. This causes her to blush and turn away.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Despite his massive anger issues at times, he’s actually one of the most morally upright characters in the Team and is first to call out a team member for doing something morally questionable.
* InterspeciesRomance: He (a cloned half-human Kryptonian) and M'gann (a Martian).
* ItIsDehumanizing: Referred to as such by Cadmus. It comes with the CloningBlues.
* JerkassHasAPoint: He’s blunt about it, but he raises some hard-to-argue and genuinely valid rants and advice:
** Chewing out Kaldur for keeping the knowledge of a mole within the team is pretty understandable.
** His complaints about M'gann abusing her telepathy? Correct. She’s actually doing more harm with it than good.
** Accusing M'gann of using L'gaan as a rebound guy is pretty harsh, but he’s proven right many episodes later. M'gann uses this as the one of the reasons why she breaks up with L'gaan.
** Verbally chastising Nightwing for keeping a massive undercover mission from the team? He couldn’t be more correct due to the jeopardy Dick put on some of the members.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: As mentioned above, he really wants Superman's acceptance and to essentially ''be'' just like Supes. [[CharacterDevelopment And he is trying to work through the "jerk" bit]], and he has become far more experienced and disciplined five years later. ''Outsiders'' develops this further with him getting to show how much he matured in the seven years since the beginning.
* LaserGuidedTykebomb:
** ''Heavily'' implied to be the intention behind his creation, as well as another reason why Superman has such a hard time trusting/accepting him. Superboy's own words are that he was created to replace Superman should he be killed in action, or to personally kill Superman himself should he turn from "The Light". Given he was developed as a weapon, that many of The Light's operations have been countermeasures against the Justice League and that Lex Luthor is a council member, it's more than likely they had the latter option in mind.
** [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in "Usual Suspects". Cadmus may have intended to have more control, but by the time Superboy was broken out, they'd only gotten so far as implanting a shut-down phrase.
* LastMinuteHookup: Finally gets together with Miss Martian again at the end of Season 2.
* LeeroyJenkins: Luthor's shields bring out this side of him; he either bites off more than he can chew or causes so much property damage it endangers the team.
* LivingLieDetector: His hearing is sensitive enough to detect changes in heart rate.
* LukeIAmYourFather: Has Lex Luthor as his "second father".
* MayDecemberRomance: {{Zigzagged|Trope}} with M'gann. She's chronologically 48 but biologically 16. He is ''technically'' 16 weeks old, but has the body and mind of a 16-year-old.
* MeaningfulName: His first name means "Wolf-kin," which is fitting considering he gets a wolf as a CoolPet.
* MixAndMatchMan: Of Superman and Lex Luthor.
* MythologyGag: As pointed out by WordOfGod, he's an imperfect clone of Superman, and as such only has Superman's original powerset (strength, not quite ''super''speed, invulnerability, [[InASingleBound not flight]]).
* NatureVersusNurture:
** Played with throughout the series. He was built as a weapon of the villainous group The Light, but after being rescued from Cadmus has been raised as a superhero.
** This becomes an even bigger question when it's revealed only half of his genetic makeup is Superman's, with the other half being [[BigBad Lex Luthor]]'s
* NeverGrewUp: Just like (briefly) in the comics, Conner doesn't grow older due to being a clone. In the Season 2 premiere, Conner still looks the same while the rest of the team has grown into young adulthood.
* NiceGuy: Develops into this in Season 3, having lost a huge portion of his anger management issues, and is far more personable and easygoing.
* NighInvulnerable: He '''is''' a clone of Superman after all.
* NoSocialSkills: It's made all the more evident when he and M'gann go to school in episode 10. Only her telepathic pleas/hints kept him under control.
* NotGrowingUpSucks: As a byproduct of the cloning process, Superboy will never age past 16.
* NotQuiteFlight: Back when he couldn't fly he was able to jump great lengths to get from place to place.
* NotWearingTights: He's very adamant about this.
* ObliviousToLove: At first.
* OddFriendship: He develops one with Icicle Jr. in "Terrors". When they finally meet again in "True Heroes" two seasons and several years later, Jr. expresses mild annoyance that Connor stole his girl, but Connor happily tells him that he and M'gann are engaged and Jr. is actually delighted for him. Did we mention [[CasualDangerDialogue this is while they're whaling on each other?]]
* OfficialCouple: With M'gann after "Terrors". By the time of Season 2, Superboy broke off his relationship with M'gann, because of her willingness to MindRape her enemies. The last straw came when she tried to make him forget he was ever upset with her. Despite this, he still has feelings for her. As of ''Outsiders'', they're back together again, share a home, and Superboy even proposes to her before leaving with Nightwing on a mission, to which she happily accepts.
* {{Omniglot}}: Superboy [[WordOfGod knows]] many languages, including, but not limited to, English, Spanish, French, Korean, Arabic, Russian, Atlantean, etc. It's [[JustifiedTrope justified]], seeing as he was fed copious amounts of information by the G-nomes as part of his conditioning.
* ReallyWasBornYesterday: He's physically and mentally sixteen years old, but is actually sixteen ''weeks'' old as of the pilot.
* RedHerringMole: In season one. Despite the grumpy demeanor and his past connection to Cadmus, he's not the mole among the team.
* RedIsHeroic: The big, red "S" gives you a good guess on which side he's on.
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Robin's blue.
* SecretSecretKeeper: He knew about M'gann's White Martian form before they even started dating. He figured she'd tell him when she was ready to.
* ShirtlessScene: A lot of times.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Showed hardly any interest in other girls, with the exception of one: M'gann M'orzz.
* SmugSnake: Initially started to disrespect Black Canary because of her lack of luck in the SuperPowerLottery, but she makes him eat his words. [[BadassNormal Robin]] has some poignant words for him when Superboy disses Black Canary for this.
* StrongAndSkilled: Develops into this by ''Outsiders'', where he gets to show he not only has super strength but the technique to back it in his fight against Baron Bedlam.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Can be rather aloof to others at first, but once you get to know him, he's not a bad guy.
* SuperDickery: When the team first meets Superboy, he beats them all unconscious even though they were the ones to free him. Turns out he wasn't in full control of his actions because he was being mind controlled by G-Gnomes.
* SuperStrength: Can lift buildings and throw larger enemies around like ragdolls.
* SuperSenses: So far, telescopic and infra-red vision, along with super-hearing.
* SuperSerum: The Shields given to him by Lex repress his human DNA, giving him the full range of Kryptonian powers [[HourOfPower for about an hour]]. Unfortunately, it also [[PsychoSerum exacerbates]] his already HairTriggerTemper, and the effect seems to compound each time he uses one
* SuperToughness: Hardly anything hurts him.
* TakingTheBullet: Not a lethal variant, but the spirit is the same. When Blue Beetle turns on the team in "War", he jumps in front of a restraining staple meant for Arsenal, letting himself be captured so Arsenal could flee
* TallDarkAndHandsome: He's tall, dark-haired, and considered very attractive in-universe.
* TookALevelInKindness: He's mellowed out considerably by Season 3, and looks after Brion Markov because his short temper reminds Superboy of his old self.
* TranquilFury: He's working on it. By Season 2, he's mostly succeeded. His confrontation with Nightwing in "The Fix" is probably the best example, never raising his voice once despite being very, very angry.
* TriggerPhrase: Luthor can shut him down for hours with the phrase "red sun"... Or he could, until Miss Martian removed it in "Usual Suspects"
* TroubledButCute: Anger issues? Yep. CluelessChickMagnet? Yep.
* TwoFirstNames: Lampshaded. Miss Martian assumes Martian Manhunter gave him the name Kent as a tribute to the late Kent Nelson, prompting the response, "Shouldn't my name be Conner ''Nelson''?"
* {{Tykebomb}}: He spent the first few weeks of his life as Cadmus's mind-controlled puppet.
* UnresolvedSexualTension: With Miss Martian until "Terrors". They go back to it in season 2
* UnskilledButStrong: He starts out as this for the first season, but by the time of ''Outsiders'', he's well past this and has become StrongAndSkilled.
* UnstoppableRage: He already has some [[UnstoppableRage major rage issues]] but Luthor's shields, which allow him full access to his Kryptonian powers, only make matters worse. He's learning how to turn it into TranquilFury (by season 2 he's made some progress).
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Gender-flipped. Hurting M'gann will ''piss him off''.
* WellDoneSonGuy: His first encounter with Superman saw him earnestly looking for Superman's approval. From there, things only get ''worse''. Things start to get better in "Auld Acquaintance" when Superman finally starts talking to him. And by Season 2, they are obviously close and Superman has given him a Kryptonian name.
* WhatTheHellHero:
** When he sees what M'gann did to get information from the Krolotean mook in "Earthlings". He's cut off before he can really get going, but he's clearly shaken by it. In fact, this is what led to their break-up. That and M'gann tampering with his memories
** He also calls out Nightwing in "The Fix" for keeping the double-agent missions a secret and inadvertently dragging M'Gann into the mess, with the potential of getting all three teammates killed.
* WhenHeSmiles: He rarely smiles, but when he does, it's truly special.
* WorkingWithTheEx: In season 2 with Miss Martian.
* WouldHitAGirl: To protect another girl.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: He's chronologically six years old as of the second season, but will always appear 16, thus eventually he will at some point cross over into being OlderThanTheyLook, as whilst his body will eventually expire and die like any other mortal being, he'll always have the same youthful appearance that he's had since his creation.

->''"Hello, Megan!"''

The good-natured niece of J'onn J'onzz, the Martian Manhunter. M'gann is enthusiastic and eager to please, but there are hints that she has secrets of her own.

During the five-year gap between seasons 1 and 2, misuse of her telepathy leads to Superboy breaking up with her. She then starts a relationship with Lagoon Boy.

As of Season 3 she had stopped her misuse of telepathy and gotten back with Conner.
----
* AbandonedCatchphrase: In season 1, Miss Martian would say "Hello Megan!" very frequently. It was eventually revealed she borrowed the catchphrase from an old sitcom and had been trying to be like the character from the show. She only says it once in the the second season ''Invasion''. By season 3, it, like "crash" and "whelmed," has become part of the team's in-group vernacular and ''Artemis'' ends up saying it, complete with the gesture.
* AdaptationalWimp: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. In this adaptation, Miss Martian lost her super-strength. And even without it, Miss Martian still managed to be one of the most scarily-powerful characters in the entire series.
* AdaptationDyeJob: Her eyes went from green to brown.
* AffectionateNickname: "Angelfish" by La'gaan.
* AliensStealCable: Everything she knows about Earth comes from watching TV. Her appearance and mannerisms are modeled after a character in the aptly named ''[[ShowWithinAShow Hello, Megan]]'' television series.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Smitten with the TroubledButCute Superboy.
* AlliterativeName: '''M'''egan '''M'''orse AKA '''M''' 'gann '''M''' 'orzz.
* AllThereInTheManual: It's never explicitly specified in the show that Martian Manhunter ''is'' her biological uncle, despite her being a White Martian; Weisman confirmed that interbreeding between the three Martian races (White, Green and Red) is in fact biologically possible, and the differences (due to being a race of shape-shifters) are far more cultural, with little regard or significance to the biological difference. M'gann's mother is a Green Martian and J'onn's sister, who married a White Martian male and had over a dozen little Martian babies - of these, only M'gann and one of the boys turned out White, while the rest were all Green.
* AmicableExes: With Lagoon Boy.
* AntiHero: She's generally a decent, heroic person who genuinely cares for her team-mates, but she's willing to MindRape and kill to accomplish her goals. This includes psychically attacking her own team-mates and effectively lobotomising Psimon to hide [[DarkSecret her true appearance]], and later turning two separate Kroleteans into vegetables just to learn their secrets. The second time is especially notable as she did this in front of Batman and J'onn with no hesitation. Conner calls her out on this, but she justifies it by saying that she only does it to the bad guys. This didn't stop her from trying to make Conner forget he was ever upset with her.
* BadassCape: Develops more and more into one, while sporting a blue cape.
* BadassInDistress: Kidnapped by Black Manta in "The Fix" to reverse her MindRape of Kaldur.
* BaldOfAwesome: From Season 3 after she embraced her White Martian heritage.
* BaldWomen:
** The "true" Martian form she shows her team-mates in "Image". Not that her ''actual'' true form isn't bald too.
** In Season 3, she embraces her White Martian heritage and appears with white skin and a bald head. By Season 4, she has hair again.
* BattleCouple: With Superboy -- as they work together during their while making outside of said work. They had broken up some time before Season 2 before reuniting in the Comic Issues "Torch Songs"
* BeautyEqualsGoodness: Zig-zagged. She's a classically beautiful GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe who's the most obviously pleasant person in the team. Then it turns out that her true form is a hideous monster that looks more like a xenomorph from Franchise/{{Alien}}. Then it turns out that she's got a hidden dark side to her personality that has the potential to be just as monstrous as her real appearance. Then, finally, she gets over that, becomes the morally upstanding hero she once appeared to be... and becomes increasingly comfortable with her true form, modifying her public-facing humanoid appearance to resemble it more and letting her teammates see the real her without shame or guilt.
* BeneathTheMask: In the episode "Image" we learn most of her eccentricities and mannerisms are modeled after a character on an old sitcom.
* BerserkButton: Do not taunt her about losing Conner's love, the team's approval, or being banished back to Mars for being a White Martian. When Psimon did it, M'gann [[MindRape put him into a coma]].
* BettyAndVeronica:
** The "Betty" (sweet and innocent) to Artemis's "Veronica" (jerkish and mysterious) for Superboy's "Archie" early in season 1. Conner eventually reciprocates the former's affection in "Terrors".
** The "Archie" to Kid Flash's "Betty" (friendly and goofy) and Superboy's "Veronica" (gruff and serious), though she was making moves on Conner from the start while Wally was making moves on her until reality hit.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Just ask Psimon. [[MindRape After he wakes up from a five year coma. And Kaldur for that matter.]]
* BizarreAlienBiology: She's forty-eight in Earth years. However, since her species ages more slowly than humans, she's physically and mentally sixteen. And then there's her real form, which has matchstick limbs and appears to have part of her brain on the ''outside''.
* BloodBrothers: With Beast Boy as she gave him a life-saving blood transfusion in "Image" with the implication in "Alienated" that she has given him other ones.
* BlushSticker: Because of her shyness, she's frequently seen blushing.
* BoyishShortHair: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Post-timeskip, her hair is now chin-length, she's doesn't wear the skirt she wore in season 1, and has become more ruthless. However, she is quite girly in comparison to her other female peers.
* BreakTheCutie: She suffers from this during "Failsafe" and "Image".
* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: The kind-hearted Gentle Girl who acts like the TeamMom to Superboy's hot-tempered Brooding Boy who [[WellDoneSOnGuy craves]] Superman's approval.
* CharacterDevelopment: M'gann started off as TheCutie, though it was later revealed that this was a facade and not the real her. She grew more ruthless and pragmatic as time went on, and eventually had to be snapped off course by a MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment.
** Come Season 3 M'gann has completely abandoned her ruthless methods such as using MindRape on villains and had come to further embrace her White Martian heritage by changing her ShapeShifterDefaultForm to a white bald humanoid martian.
%%* TheChick: At least in Season 1.
* CoolBigSis: To Beast Boy, as she is quite loving to him and he acts as her MoralityPet in season 2.
* CoolStarship: Owner of the Bio-Ship.
* CompositeCharacter: Some of her qualities and personal history have been taken from Martian Manhunter, such as being the most powerful telepath on the planet and Ma'alefa'ak is her younger brother rather than being J'onn's twin brother. Also, since Beast Boy got his powers by receiving a blood transfusion from her, she takes the role of the West African green monkey whose blood saved Garfield Logan's life.
* CostumeEvolution: In Season 1 she has a schoolgirl-style outfit with a skirt and CombatStilettos, but by Season 2 she's switched to a black bodysuit with no high heels. Notable in that she actually shifts her appearance to look like she's wearing human clothes.
* CorruptTheCutie: It wasn't her friends who did this, but rather the enemies she faced that made her do some questionably moral acts.
* CuteAndPsycho: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. She ''is'' a genuine NiceGirl who cares for her friends and doing what's right, but has shown a tendency of this. In season 1 she's willing to go through a ''lot'' to maintain the cutie image, and while still beautiful in season 2, she's far more willing to take extreme actions. Dropped in Season 3, when she had already abandoned her more extreme methods and had learned to be herself.
* CuteMonsterGirl: {{Invoked|Trope}} with her "humanoid" form and averted like you wouldn't believe with her true form; she created the former because of the latter.
* TheCutie: {{Invoked|Trope}}. She based her looks and mannerisms off a cutie-type from a television show, due to her extreme fear of being rejected for her true White Martian appearance.
* DarkSecret: M'gann is really a White Martian masquerading as a Green Martian to avoid discrimination, as first seen in "Image".
* DissonantSerenity: She's lobotomized two characters on screen without batting an eyelash. She even thought to take the Krolotean's belt as a souveneir for Beast Boy mid-lobotomy.
* DoggedNiceGirl: For Superboy.
* DudeMagnet: All the boys are pleased to see her, except Superboy, who is indifferent to her until "Terrors", where Superboy reveals that her feelings for him are reciprocated.
* {{Fangirl}}: Of the sitcom ''Hello, Megan!''. It only lasted one season but the broadcasts of it gave her comfort when she was living alone on Mars and she based her whole personality and appearance when she came to Earth on the main character. When she meets the "real" Megan, Marie Logan, in "Image" she pesters her with questions about the show.
* FantasticRacism: Had been on the receiving end back on Mars for being a White Martian.
* FinalGirl: She's the last one to die in "[[KillEmAll Failsafe]]".
* FishOutOfWater: She learned about Earth by watching TV and is ignorant of more common social behaviours and struggles to learn what is appropriate with regards to telepathy and privacy. She also shapeshifted into Black Canary while kissing Conner. J'onn says that in Mars it's common to shape-shift for a partner since everyone can read minds and wouldn't be caught off guard. Black Canary still finds it wrong.
* FriendlessBackground: She alludes to this, stating more than once that back on Mars she was very lonely - notably, she states that despite having about a dozen sisters it's very different to having an Earth one (in Artemis) - and her uncle J'onn seems to be one of (if not the only) family members she's close to. This is largely because she's a White Martian, who she states (prior to TheReveal) are subjected to FantasticRacism.
* GirlyBruiser: Sweet, good-natured, cutie who likes baking, but is also capable of kicking lots of ass.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: When she uses her psychic powers.
* GoodIsNotSoft: In "Image" and Season Two, she has shown to be quite ruthless when push comes to shove. She becomes a kind, caring, loving, unrepentant mind-raper.
* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: Her usual appearance. Subverted, since that's not her real form: her true Martian self barely has any human characteristics, let alone human female ones.
* HalfBreedDiscrimination: M'gann is J'onn's biological niece despite being a White Martian. To elaborate, her mother is J'onn's sister and a Green Martian and her father is White; M'gann is one of only two children who inherited the White Martian biological appearance (along with one of her brothers), while the rest are Green. It is because of this (and the fact that the difference between the Martian breeds is more cultural than biological) that M'gann had a lonely childhood back on Mars.
* HeelRealization: Finding out Aqualad is a FakeDefector is what finally convinces her to cool it with all the [[MindRape mind-breaking]].
* HidingYourHeritage: M'gann is a half-White Martian and half-Green Martian, but she looks like a White Martian. She passes herself on Earth as a Green Martian due to her deep-seated insecurities, even though humans wouldn't know or care about the difference.
* HeroicBSOD: M'gann is completely devastated when she [[MindRape mind rapes]] Kaldur, only to discover that he was a FakeDefector the whole time. It was bad enough that she became a DeathSeeker in "The Fix".
* HumanAliens: Subverted with her true form.
* IAmNotLeftHanded: Using her shape-shifting powers to look like a Green Martian appears to limit her psychic abilities. After shifting into her true White Martian form, she was easily able to mentally overpower both Psimon in "Image" and later her uncle J'onn in in "Auld Acquaintance".
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Part of her underlying reasons for hiding her true form until "Usual Suspects" -- she was scared of being rejected by the team (especially Superboy), just as she was rejected for being a White Martian on Mars.
* ImportantHaircut: In season 2, after the TimeSkip, It shows her maturity into a more anti-heroine pictured here. It seems to represent her abandonment of her previous sitcom high school cheerleader persona for a more no-nonsense command role (the haircut has a military look to it). It also coincides with Beastboy joining the team and thus not being a visual reminder of his mother.
* InTheHood: Her stealth outfit includes a hooded cloak. Though she doesn't usually wear the hood up unless she's using her [[VisibleInvisibility camouflage powers.]]
* IntangibleMan: While she doesn't have this power in season 1 due to lack of skill with her shapeshifting, during the 5 year TimeSkip at the start of season 2 she finally masters this technique.
* InterspeciesRomance:
** She (a Martian) and Superboy (a cloned human-Kryptonian hybrid).
** In season 2, she and Lagoon Boy (an Atlantean).
* {{Invisibility}}: More like very good camouflage since people can still [[VisibleInvisibility see her]] if she moves too much (like the Film/{{Predator}} from the eponymous film).
* ItsAllAboutMe: By Season 2, she grows a massively selfish streak, being unrepentant about her telepathic abuse and justifiying them and using Lagoon Boy to wound her self-esteem, Connor chews her out of it and this is the reason why he breaks up with her. She then realizes this, and makes amends, such as dumping L'gaan to prevent anything else bad from happening and apologizing to Connor.
* JackOfAllStats: [[http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/tv_shows/youngjustice/index.html According to her stats]], she's about the middle of the road in almost all areas plus her additional powers (telepathy, telekinesis, partial invisibility, etc. etc.). However, in "Failsafe" we learn that M'gann's potential telepathic power exceeds that of J'onn.
* TheLancer: Seems to be filling this role to Nightwing in Season 2 seeing as how she's clearly commanding every squad she's in and is seen to be placed in charge of whatever squad has the most important mission.
* LastMinuteHookup: Finally gets together with Superboy again at the end of Season 2.
%%* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: The Light to Artemis's Dark.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: How she describes her feelings toward Kaldur in "Denial".
* LimitedWardrobe: The outfit she claimed to have spent "hours" picking out for her first day at school is the one she usually wears at Mount Justice.
* MagicPants: She explains that her outfit is organic and responds to her mental commands, allowing it to shapeshift with her.
* MakeOutKids: With Lagoon Boy.
* MayDecemberRomance:
** {{Zigzagged|Trope}} with Superboy. She's chronologically 48 but biologically and psychologically 16 because Martians age more slowly than humans. He is ''technically'' 16 weeks old, but has the body and mind of a 16-year-old because he was grown by Cadmus. Chronologically, she is the oldest member of the Team and he is the youngest, but they look and act the same age.
** {{Zigzagged|Trope}} with Lagoon Boy. She's chronologically 53, but biologically 18, while he's 17.
* AMindIsATerribleThingToRead: This hits her big time in the Season 2 episode "Before the Dawn" when she {{Mind Rape}}s Aqualad and learns that he's a [[TheMole mole]] and in fact did not kill Artemis, but shatters his mind in the process.
* MindOverManners:
** She had to learn this in her introduction episode. She didn't take into account that since she immigrated to a planet where the majority of the population doesn't have telepathy, many people would find it rude and intrusive for her to use it without permission.
** Of course, once the team gets used to the psychic link they start slipping into it automatically whenever they want to have a private conversation, which then leads to others viewing them as rude when they have silent conversations that no one else can hear.
** Also encountered problems with shapeshifting in "Image", where M'gann took the form of Black Canary and made out with Connor. As Black Canary is both their teacher and in a relationship (though Green Arrow found it hilarious after identities were straightened out), she had to explain that shapeshifting tends to be controversial on Earth.
* MindOverMatter: As a Martian, she's telekinetic, which she also uses to simulate {{Flight}}.
* MindRape: Does this via telepathy to Psimon in "Image", two Kroleteans early in season 2, and Kaldur in "Before the Dawn". Also lampshaded by Superboy, whose memories she tried to tamper with during the TimeSkip.
-->'''Superboy''': After all that we've been through... how could you think I wouldn't recognize your touch inside my mind? Didn't you know what that touch meant to me? And to have you ''pervert'' it like that.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Grows five arms in one episode to fight off a bunch of flying monkey robots, including growing one from her head. In another episode, she doubles up her arms to briefly augment her telekinesis...[[FridgeLogic somehow]].
* MyBrainIsBig: When she's in her true form, it's so big that [[BizarreAlienBiology it hangs out of the back of her head]]. We later see that this is standard for all Martians.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After she mind rapes Kaldur, and the HeroicBSOD she experiences shows that she asks herself the same question throughout the rest of the episode.
* NaiveNewcomer: In season 1, she's ignorant to Earth customs and acts accordingly. No longer is one in Season 2; M'gann has become an AntiHero who is unafraid of doing whatever it takes (even MindRape).
* OfficialCouple: With Superboy after "Terrors". In season 2, [[OffscreenBreakUp they broke up some time during the five-year timeskip.]] Now she's dating Lagoon Boy. Superboy is the one who broke it off, after her casual MindRape started bothering him and she tried to wipe his memories of it to fix things. Being intimately familiar with her powers, he caught her in the act.
** As of season 3, she and Superboy are back together, and Superboy even asks her to marry him.
* OlderThanSheLooks: Thanks to Martians aging about three times slower than humans. In season 1 for instance she's around the same maturity as a 16-year-old human, but is actually 48.
* TheOneWhereEveryoneDies: In season one, she accidentally brainwashes the Team into believing a training simulation is real and all the pretend deaths are real. Her uncle snaps her out of it by killing her in the simulation, waking everyone up.
* PayEvilUntoEvil: Been part of her character since the beginning. She smashes the crap out of Mr. Twister with a big ass rock, [[CurbStompBattle curbstomps Psimon twice]] and {{Mind Rape}}s the occasional Krolotean to gain information. This leads her to put the whammy on Kaldur as revenge for killing Artemis. When she learns the truth, she has a HeroicBSOD.
** Notably averted after Season 3, where she tries to convince [[spoiler: her brother M'comm]] to follow love and compassion instead of hatred and anger.
* PowerIncontinence: "Failsafe" ends up as a result of this after her subconscious hijacked the psychic training exercise by accident, resulting in the members of the team who 'died' in the exercise going comatose.
* PowerPerversionPotential: Apparently not averse to using shapeshifting for roleplaying others. Black Canary is not amused.
* PromotedToLoveInterest: Her comic counterpart hardly had any interaction with Superboy, even less romantic relationship.
* PromotionToParent: After Beast Boy's mom dies.
* RedHerringMole: Suspected of being the mole in season one, but isn't really.
* RefugeInAudacity: During the TimeSkip, Superboy began to be disturbed by the ease with which she would threaten and destroy the minds of her opponents, accusing her of abusing her powers. The tension arising from the disagreement threatened their relationship. So Miss Martian tried rewrite his mind so that he wouldn't remember that he'd been angry with her or why, affirming his accusations. Superboy, knowing when he was being psychically attacked from his experiences ''with'' Megan, caught her in the act.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: In the comics, Miss Martian and the Martian Manhunter have no connection to each other, but M'gann patterns her superhero identity after his in order to camouflage the fact that she's a White Martian, not a Green one. This lead to some confusion among viewers who were familiar with the comics version, with people assuming she was lying about being J'onn's niece as well-- but in this alternate continuity, M'gann's mother is J'onn's sister per WordOfGod.
* ShapeshifterDefaultForm: Type B. Generally defaults to a green-skinned version of the main character from a TV show she loved as a child, even though her original form is that of a White Martian and Martians' true form is not very humanoid. Come season three she changes her default form to a white bald humanoid Martian, similar to Martian Manhunter's usual form (his true form is like hers, but green).
* ShapeShifting: All Martians are shapeshifters.
* ShipperWithAnAgenda: Ships Artemis with Kid Flash, if only for the sake of trying to deflect her eye from Superboy.
* SillyMeGesture: A light slap on the forehead that goes in tandem with her {{Catchphrase}}.
--->''Hello, Megan!''
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Which is why she chose Conner over any guy who wanted her. He's the first person on Earth to not discriminate her based on her White Martian status whatsoever, supports and looks out for her when she needs it, and always believes that she has the capacity to change. In fact, she wouldn't have undergone most of her character development if it wasn’t for Conner.
* SomeCallMeTim: Like her uncle the Martian Manhunter, M'gann M'orze takes on the human name Megan Morse which just happens to be her favourite TV character.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Her MindRape of Kaldur continues to have consequences three episodes after she did it, and things look like they'll snowball from there.
* StepfordSmiler: Shows some shadows of this since her first appearances, confirmed to be a '''Type A''' in the episode "Images", when it's revealed that all the back story she gave the team is a lie and that her current [[ShapeshifterDefaultForm looks and mannerisms]] are based on an 80's sitcom, because she felt alone in place where she was discriminated for being a White Martian.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: In the second season, she acts like a loving big sister to Beast Boy, and a cold, but still fair squad leader to everyone else ([[MakeOutKids except Lagoon Boy]]).
* SuperStrength: While not nearly as powerful as a Kryptonian, Martians are physically stronger than humans.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: "On Mars, the White minority are treated like second-class citizens by the Green majority. Of course, ''I'm'' Green, but that doesn't make it right."
* TautologicalTemplar:
-->'''Megan''': Those weren't victims! They're the bad guys!
* {{Telepathy}}: She's a Martian, so she's got the whole telepathy thing going on. She's unusually powerful for one at that, easily overpowering the far more skilled Psimon in a psychic battle.
* TokenFlyer: M'Gann is the only one of the original six who can fly under her own power. Raquel, who joins in late season 1, can fly as well but only thanks to her belt.
* TokenNonHuman: She's the only one in the original formation to not have any real human DNA or Earth origin. Even Superboy had a portion of human DNA.
%%* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Girly Girl to Artemis's Tomboy.
* TookALevelInBadass: During the TimeSkip, she becomes less of the nervous rookie she was as a teen and is now an experienced, serious, and ruthless mentor for new members.
%%* TownGirls: The Femme to Zatanna's Neither and Artemis's Butch.
* TranslatorMicrobes: She can serve this function psychically when not facilitating straight telepathy.
* UnresolvedSexualTension: With Superboy until "Terrors". They go back to it in season 2 until the tie-in comic issues "Torch Songs 1 and 2".
* UnscrupulousHero: In Season 2, she has become very willing to use MindRape against her enemies not caring about the consequences that might have. She justifies it by saying that she only does it to the bad guys and the information she gets from them helps the team. This comes to bite her when she uses MindRape against Kaldur, not knowing that he was actually a [[TheMole mole]].
* UnskilledButStrong: J'onn theorized that she has the potential to be a psychic leagues beyond him after her subconscious accidently hijacked his psychic training exercise and overwhelmed him even after he tried to reassert control.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Placing a MindRape on FakeDefector Aqualad ''wasn't'' the best idea she had.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Falling into this in Season 2 - she's willing to MindRape aliens to learn their secrets and then to Kaldur as revenge. Abandoned after realizing Kaldur didn't actually kill Artemis.
* WhatMeasureIsANonCute: She fears that her ugly true appearance will cause her teammates to shun her, and as such defaults to a cutie-type facade.
* WorkingWithTheEx: In season 2, with Superboy. And later with Lagoon Boy.
* YouthfulFreckles: Comes with the red hair.

->''"I feel naked, and not in a fun way."''
Artemis is a mysterious archer originally introduced as Green Arrow's niece. In actuality, she is the daughter of Sportsmaster and retired villain Huntress, who decided to reject her family's criminal ways. She also has a sister, Jade Nguyen, who operates as the assassin Cheshire. Though Artemis initially goes to great lengths to hide this information from her friends on the Team, at the end of season 1 she comes clean about her family's checkered past and goes on to help capture her father.\\
\\
Five years later, Artemis has retired from being a superhero and is attending college. She is also still in a relationship with Wally, and the two live together. She eventually rejoins the Team and then [[FakingTheDead fakes her death]] in order to infiltrate the Light with Kaldur as the villainess Tigress.\\
\\
Two years later, she joins the Outsiders under her new codename Tigress, and later rejoined the Team, still under the codename Tigress.\\
\\
Not to be confused with fellow DC characters ComicBook/{{Artemis}} of Bana-Mighdall, and [[Characters/WonderWomanGods Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt]].
----
* AdaptationalCurves: Inverted. Her comic counterpart is [[AmazonianBeauty noticeably muscular]], while the show gives her a similar body type to the other female characters.
* AdaptationalHeroism: Her comics namesake is evil, though in later stories she's much more sympathetic. Here, she's a heroic character through and through.
* AdaptationalModesty: Likely due to her AgeLift. In the comics as Artemis her costume had {{Underboobs}} and {{Sideboob}}, but here the {{fanservice}} is limited to BareYourMidriff. As Tigress, her costume covers her completely, as opposed to the comics where it shows considerable cleavage.
* AdaptationDyeJob: Comic book Artemis has blue eyes, while this Artemis has dark gray ones. Oddly, promotional material and early tie in comics featured her with blue eyes as well, before updating them to gray later on. In addition, in the comics her hair is either red or platinum blonde, while here it's a more normal blonde (dyed black while undercover).
* AdaptationExpansion: While a minor villain in the comics (though with ADayInTheLimelight in a couple arcs of ''JSA''), Artemis has multiple major story arcs in the show.
* AdaptationOriginConnection: In the comics, she's merely a minor villain who is the LegacyCharacter of her mother, the previous Huntress, and her father, Sportsmaster. Here, she's also made to be connected to [[ComicBook/GreenArrow the Arrow family]] via virtue of her name, [[MeaningfulName Artemis]]. Additionally, Cheshire is now her older sister, a nod to the cat motif in the women of the family.
* AffectionateNickname: Called either "Babe" or "Beautiful" by Wally.
* AgeLift: In the comics, she only got into the game as an adult, but here, she's been doing it ever since she was a teenager (and as a hero instead of a villain... for a while, in a way...).
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Had a crush on the moody Superboy, and even gets pissed off when she finds out he and M'gann have been dating in "Secrets."
* ArcherArchetype: Somewhat cold, strong-minded, independent, and haughty at the beginning, to the point of being pegged as a potential mole because of this. By the second season, she's mellowed out and is far easier to work with.
* AscendedFangirl: Since archery was her primary skill, she had admired Green Arrow from a distance, and chose green as a costume color because of him. She would later become one of his two primary trainees.
* AwesomeMcCoolname: Artemis Crock.
* BadLiar: Ninja boyfriends. And cousins who did not W-I-N the state spelling bee.
* BadassBookworm: [[https://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=16910 According to]] WordOfGod, Artemis is studying comparative literature.
* BadassNormal: No superpowers, but dangerous with a bow and arrow.
* BareYourMidriff: Part of her superhero outfit shows off her toned stomach.
* BattleCouple: With Kid Flash -- as they work together in freeing the mind-controlled Leaguers ''before'' becoming an OfficialCouple and stopping the invasion in Paris
* BecomingTheMask: "The Fix" shows that she fears doing this, and sometimes looks in the mirror purely to remind herself that she's Artemis
* BelligerentSexualTension: With Kid Flash -- They spend most of the time arguing with each other but it's obvious (especially to Robin) that they are attracted to one another.
* BetterAsFriends: [[spoiler:After clearly having become close in the time since Wally's death this is ultimately where she and Will both start and end in season 3]]
* BettyAndVeronica: The "Veronica" (jerkish and mysterious) to Miss Martian's "Betty" (sweet and innocent) for Superboy's "Archie". Superboy ends up dating M'gann.
* BirdsOfAFeather: With Kid Flash. While they are also an OppositesAttract type (a downplayed one), they are more of this -- They're both intelligent, yet insecure teenage heroes who resort to sarcasm and bravado to hide how much they care about each other.
* BlatantLies: About her backstory:
** While she was amnesiac, she revealed to Kid Flash that it would be fully in character for her father to send her out to kill someone like him as a test. After they got their memories back, he questioned her about this where she hastily made up a story about a movie plot with ninjas.
** In a later episode Robin noticed her in Gotham City instead of where Green Arrow lives. She said she was visiting her cousin. Robin had taken a picture with her in his civilian identity as a joke, and was just trolling the hell out of her.
* BloodKnight: Her preferred response to emotional stress is to look for an ass to kick.
* BrokenBird: Due to emotional abuse by her father during her childhood. Much of her CharacterDevelopment in Season 1 revolves around growing out of her personal trauma.
* ButNotTooForeign: In a show that is set in and targeted towards the United States, she is half-Vietnamese.
* CainAndAbel: {{Subverted|Trope}}. She's a hero (Abel) while her sister is the villain Cheshire (Cain) and both have little problem fighting each other. However, they ''do'' love each other as evident in Artemis's relief that Jade wasn't dead from a plane crash and Jade saving her from an avalanche. To further prove this point, it turns out that she named her daughter after Artemis' middle name -- Lian.
* CanonCharacterAllAlong: Initially, it seems she's a CanonForeigner made for the show. It turns out that she's a heavily revamped version of Artemis Crock, a minor villainess in the comics.
* CanonImmigrant:
** She's a playable hero in the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' ''Teeny Titans'' game. She also makes a cameo in the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGoToTheMovies''.
** ''Series/{{Arrow}}'''s Evelyn Crawford Sharp (Starling) originates from the ''New 52'' run of the ''ComicBook/BirdsOfPrey'' comic, but she instead opts to go by Artemis as her superhero name. Evelyn also resembles both Starling and Artemis in her superhero guise.
* CharacterDevelopment: Artemis started off very much as a BrokenBird, with serious trust issues and way more insecure than she let on. By the end, she's come to trust her friends and has become much more confident.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Cameron, AKA, Icicle Jr., as shown in the tie-in comics. [[MythologyGag In the main DC universe]], their counterparts are married.
* ClassicalAntiHero: When first introduced, especially evident in "Homefront" and "Secrets", where it's very clear how insecure she is in herself and abilities.
* ColorCodedEyes: She has dark gray eyes that look almost black, representing her strong will and secretiveness.
* CombatMedic: Artemis has demonstrated some skills in emergency medicine when she tended to the dehydrated Aqualad, and provided a sling for Kid Flash's broken arm.
* CompositeCharacter: Is a composite of the ''second'' Speedy from the comics (Mia Dearden) and villainess Tigress III (Artemis Crock) from the ''ComicBook/YoungJustice'' comics. And as the (half-)Asian girlfriend of Wally West, she has some elements of Linda Park, Wally's usual love interest.
* ContraltoOfDanger: Has a lower voice than the more feminine M'gann and Zatanna, befitting her tougher, more tomboyish, more mysterious nature. Puts this to good use in season 2 as a DeepCoverAgent for the Light.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Artemis was emotionally abused by her villainous father, which got worse after her mother was arrested for her villain activities. Her sister and only sibling left because of the abuse. She then spent the next years being raised by her ''very'' un-dadlike father. It resulted in her having an inferiority-superiority complex, ''a lot'' of trust issues, and intense feelings of shame of her family's history.
* DarkSkinnedBlond: Because she's biracial, she has tanned skin and blonde hair.
* DeadpanSnarker: Mostly toward Wally. Gets one with Red Arrow in "Insecurity".
* DefrostingIceQueen: Towards Wally mainly, but has also warmed up to Robin and Zatanna.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: After joining Aqualad's [[TheMole mole]] operation inside The Light as the villain Tigress.
* FakingTheDead: In order to infiltrate the Light.
* FamilyThemeNaming: Assumes the identity of Tigress in Season 2, following the theme of her mother and sister's code names Huntress and Cheshire
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The Responsible Sibling who works for the good guys to Jade's Foolish Sibling, who works for the League of Shadows.
* FreudianSlip: During her therapy session with Black Canary, Artemis accidentally lets it slip that she's more worried about Wally learning about her past than anyone else on the team.
* GreenEyedMonster: She wasn't too happy with Wally's birthday wish for M'gann to kiss him in "Coldhearted".
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Subverted as of "Secrets." Artemis prefers ranged combat, but is fully capable of beating the shit out of people with her bare hands, hell, [[BloodKnight she even enjoys it]].
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She has blonde and is generally a good person, who wants to be a hero.
* HairstyleInertia: Flashbacks and pictures of Artemis as a child shows she's always wore a ponytail.
* HeartbrokenBadass: After Wally dies. She goes back to the hero business, but takes up as being "Tigress" instead of her Artemis attire. Why? "Artemis was Wally's partner."
* HeroesLoveDogs: By season 2, she and Wally own a pitbull.
* HeroesWantRedheads: Becomes an OfficialCouple with Wally West/Kid Flash.
* HiddenDepths: She is able to understand complex scientific terms like Wally.
* HoldingHands: With Kid Flash in "Bereft".
* HormoneAddledTeenager: During the show, there's a scene where she's seen wearing a shirt... [[GoingCommando and there's no indication that there's anything below that]]. Also, WordOfGod is that [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/d228fe603b4d1638e177c8c8f4a63d6e/tumblr_ot7rnlShuv1sq0ra0o1_r1_1280.jpg she wasn't a virgin before the beginning of the show]].
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Episode 23 reveals just how much she wants to be part of the team. When she finds out she was only allowed on the Team because her mother begged the League, and not because of her skills, she's crushed.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Episode 23 reveals just how much she wants to be part of the team. She goes to extreme lengths to prevent the Team from learning about her villain family.
* IndyPloy: In "The Fix", she quickly copes with Psimon being brought in to cure Kaldur, which could expose them both, by disabling him and convincing Black Manta to get M'gann instead, thereby allowing Kaldur to be cured without anyone being the wiser. Not bad for a BadLiar.
* IneffectualLoner: Despite her aloofness, she really does want to work with the Team.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Artemis always acts cocky and confident, but it's slowly revealed that she is deeply unsure of her own abilities, especially in comparisons to her sister (an assassin) and the other heroes, many of whom have super-powers.
* InterspeciesRomance: She (a human) and Wally (a metahuman).
* {{Irony}}: In the first season she lies about being Oliver's niece to justify her sidekick status. In the second season, her sister has married Roy Harper's clone, meaning Artemis actually is Ollie's niece-in-law by a tenuous mix of blood and legality.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Has anger issues and can be confrontational. But she is a good person and wants to be a hero.
* JumpedAtTheCall: She is quite happy to stay with Wally, but sprung back out of retirement when Nightwing called. At the end of Season 2, Artemis gets back into full-time hero work to cope with Wally's death--despite his dying while on the team
* LickedByTheDog: Wolf doesn't sound the alarm when she puts an inhibitor collar on him just before infiltrating Mount Justice
%%* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: The Dark to M'gann's Light. Subverted in Season 2. A sibling example: She's the Light to Jade's Dark.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: To Paula. Her apparent death was the hardest thing she has gone through. {{Justified|Trope}} because they are mother and daughter.
* MasterArcher: As Green Arrow's protegee, her archery skills are never in doubt.
* MeaningfulName: In [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Greek Mythology]], Artemis is the goddess of hunting and used a bow and arrow. Also a reference to her mother's codename, Huntress.
* MeaningfulRename: Tigress, a mix of the hunter and cat motifs of her mother and sister's code names Huntress and Cheshire. She decides to take on the name full-time in the season 2 finale as a way of coping with Wally's death; according to her, "Artemis" was his partner and she needs distance.
* TheMirrorShowsYourTrueSelf: The glamour charm that disguises her in season two only works on people who didn't see her put it on, while the people who did (including herself) see her as normal. This is demonstrated by showing her disguised face reflected in a puddle from an "outsider" point of view, while the rest of the scene (in hers, Wally's, Dick's, and Kaldur's point of view) shows her as normal. Naturally, when she herself looks in a mirror, she sees her true self-- the ''only'' way she can confirm she is who she believes she is, while Kaldur is comatose.
* TheMole: After faking her own death to build Kaldur's credibility with the Light, she joins him as a mole in Black Manta's organization
* MoralityPet: Acts as one to her older, villain assassin sister, Cheshire. While they are on the opposing side and fight because of that, Cheshire genuinely loves her little sister.
* MysteriousPast: Her father is Sportsmaster, her mother is the ex-villain Huntress, and her sister is Cheshire. Artemis hides this from the team until "Usual Suspects."
* MythologyGag:
** Her villain alias, Tigress, is what her evil comics counterpart uses. Her mother, Paula, is also [[LegacyCharacter the original Tigress]] in the comics, though she was called Huntress (her own alias in the show) until the Bat-Family member of the same name was introduced.
** The tie-in comic shows that she used to be friends with Icicle, Jr.. Their counterparts in the comics were married.
%%* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: To Wally.
* OfficialCouple: With Wally, post-TimeSkip.
* {{Omniglot}}: Artemis can speak, besides English, French, Vietnamese, and high school Spanish.
* OppositesAttract: {{Downplayed|Trope}} with Kid Flash. She's focused, rough and tumble while he's goofy and happy-go-lucky. Despite the few differences in personality, they are more BirdsOfAFeather.
* PairTheSpares: Initially has a thing for Superboy, but ends up with Kid Flash, who initially had a thing for Miss Martian.
* PromotedToLoveInterest: Her comic counterpart was a villain who had no relationship with Kid Flash (and in fact was in a relationship with Icicle Jr., with whom she had a daughter).
* RaceLift: She's half Vietnamese, while her comic counterparts are fully Caucasian.
* RapunzelHair: Keeps it around waist length.
* RealNameAsAnAlias: "Artemis" is both her real name and superhero name. Not so much in season two, where she goes by "Tigress", and it sticks as her permanent codename afterwards.
* RealityIsUnrealistic: A major complaint about her character design is how she's half Asian but has blonde hair. She's actually [[http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=13138 visually based on producer Victor Cook's daughter]], who is a natural blonde despite having parents who are both half-Asian.
* RedHerringMole: Despite her anger and aloofness, she's not the mole in season one.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: She hasn't even ''met'' Cheshire in the comics, and she's definitely related to her!
* RetiredBadass: Post-TimeSkip, she and Wally are retired from the superhero business.
* SexyShirtSwitch: Wears nothing but a red jersey of Wally's on Valentine's Day.
* SheIsAllGrownUp: According to Icicle Jr.
* ShipperWithAnAgenda: Ships Miss Martian with Aqualad, if only for the sake of trying to deflect her interest in Superboy.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Becomes an OfficialCouple with Kid Flash/Wally, the guy who explicitly told her she wasn't a replacement for Roy and was indeed a ''real archer''.
* SixthRanger: Breaks the original FiveManBand when she joins the Team a few episodes into season 1.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Lose the blonde hair, and she's a mirror image to her older sister and mother.
* TeamMom: She's pretty much this in Season 3, especially to Violet and Tara right down to the nagging.
* TermsOfEndangerment: Artemis is called "Baby Girl" by her father but they are enemies.
* ThatManIsDead: She completely discards her crimefighting identity as Artemis, and becomes Tigress from thereon. This is because she view Artemis as the partner of Kid Flash, who died, and so she wanted to distance herself from it.
%%* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Tomboy to Miss Martian's Girly Girl.
* TomboyishPonytail: In contrast to M'gann, who wears her hair down, Artemis ties her long hair in a ponytail.
* TownGirls: The Butch to Zatanna's Neither and Miss Martian's Femme.
* TrainingFromHell: Her training under Sportsmaster in her youth is implied to be this. In "Beref", after her and Wally wake up in a shack [[LaserGuidedAmnesia with the memories of the last 6 months erased]], Artemis is confused about her hero outfit (she wasn't a superhero 6 months prior) and suspects she's undergoing some sort of training mission from her father, all but outright saying that WakingUpElsewhere in [[UndressingTheUnconscious a different outfit]] frequently happened to her.
* TroubledFetalPosition: Goes into one of these during "Homefront" after the rest of the team is captured
* {{Tsundere}}: Mostly towards Wally, whom she acts very harshly to before they get together.
* TwoferTokenMinority: She's one of the few females and is half-Vietnamese.
* VasquezAlwaysDies:
** She's the first one to die in "[[KillEmAll Failsafe]]."
** Subverted in "Depths." She's the first of the old team to "die" but it's part of an elaborate plan concocted by her, Wally, Nightwing, and Aqualad
* WhatTheHellHero: Gives one to Miss Martian telepathically after M'gann {{Mind Rape}}s Kaldur.
* WhiteSheep: The rest of her family are either villains or ex-villains.

* ProperlyParanoid: When she hears that Cyborg was rebuilt with a Fatherbox, she goes berserk until Superboy and Halo calm her down. Then a couple of episodes later, the Fatherbox takes Cyborg over and very nearly kills Halo...
* PuppeteerParasite: A heroic version. Sphere can transform into a bug-like control apparatus and latch onto certain mechanical foes, at which point Superboy can control them by "driving" them through Sphere. It worked on Infinity Man, but the Appellaxian golem avoided the attempt.
* RomanticWingman: Bizarrely enough. Sphere used to rumble to alert Connor and Megan whenever someone was entering a room, so that they wouldn't be caught doing anything... uh. Embarrassing.
* SamusIsAGirl: Superboy is surprised when the Forever People refer to Sphere as female.
* TeamPet: The Team all care for Sphere.
* TheVoiceless: Speaks in vehicular rumbling.

!!''Wolf''

%%[[caption-width-right:300:some caption text]]
!!!'''Designation:''' C02

!!!'''Debut:''' Episode 13 ("Alpha Male")
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DeeBradleyBaker

Superboy's second pet. Wolf was originally an ordinary wolf from India that was physically and mentally enhanced with Kobra Venom by The Brain. After fighting with Superboy and being freed from The Brain's thrall, he decided to remain with Superboy, becoming a member of The Team.
----
* AmplifiedAnimalAptitude: Thanks to Kobra Venom.
* CanineCompanion: Wolf is a genetically engineered wolf and is closest to Superboy.
* CanisMajor: He's bigger than the average wolf.
* ADogNamedDog: A wolf named wolf.
* {{Expy}}: He resembles Krypto the Superdog. Kid Flash suggesting naming him that, but Wolf rejected it and M'gann said it was taken.
* NobleWolf: After he was freed from The Brain's control, he becomes a heroic wolf and regards The Team as his pack.
* RetiredBadass: In Season 3, he shows absolutely no desire to engage in heroics again, spending most of his time sleeping. He barely reacts to Halo, Forager, and Brion taking Sphere to search for Brion's sister and doesn't join the Team to rescue them. Might be justified due to age: unless the Venom lengthens his lifespan, 9 is old for a wolf. [[spoiler:That said, he will go into combat if his home is threatened, as shown when Victor is taken over by Father Box.]]
** OldDog: How he's treated by the Team these days.
* ShipperOnDeck: For Superboy[=/=]Miss Martian. In "Happy New Year", he doesn't like seeing M'gann with Lagoon Boy.
* TeamPet: This doesn't stop him from being treated like any other operative on missions.

* MixedAncestry: M'gann is J'onn's biological niece despite being a White Martian. To elaborate, her mother is J'onn's sister and a Green Martian and her father is White; M'gann is one of only two children who inherited the White Martian biological appearance (along with one of her brothers), while the rest are Green. Further, it is because of this (and the fact that the difference between the Martian breeds is more cultural than biological) that M'gann had a lonely childhood back on Mars.

* MixedAncestry: Vietnamese on her mother's side and Caucasian on her father's side.

** Has a tendency to hit on all the women he encounters, with the exception of Artemis, whom he [[ReplacementScrappy disliked because she "replaced" Speedy,]] and Zatanna, who is clearly being crushed on by his best friend, but he's incredibly loyal to his friends. Wally is a hero first and foremost.

* DramaticEcho: Many of Wally's "souvenirs" are either from exciting missions or, in rarer cases, humble ones (like in "Coldhearted"). In "Insecurity", however, after confronting Artmis about her trust issues, he replaces one souvenir with another (Cherishire's sai with Artemis' tracker which sent them on a wild goose chase) that represented her betrayal of his trust at the time.

* BaldOfAwesome: As of Season 3.

!!!'''Status:''' Deceased (One with the speed force)

** The "true" Martian form she shows her team-mates in "Image". Not that her ''actual'' true form isn't bald too..
** As of Season 3, she now embraces her White Martian heritage and appears with white skin and a bald head.

* FriendlessBackground: She alludes to this, stating more than once that back on Mars she was very lonely - notably, she states that despite having about a dozen sisters it's very different to having a non-biological one (in Artemis) - and her uncle J'onn seems to be one of (if not the only) family members she's close to. This is largely because she's a White Martian, who she states (prior to TheReveal) are subjected to FantasticRacism.

[[folder:Red Arrow (Speedy)]]

** As of Season 3, she now embraces her white Martian heritage and appears with white skin and a bald head.

* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: Her usual appearance. Subverted, since that's not her real form: her true white martian self barely has any human characteristics, let alone human female ones.

* HidingYourHeritage: M'gann is a half-White Martian and half-Green Martian, but she looks like a White Martian. She passes herself on Earth as a Green Martian.

* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Part of her underlying reasons for hiding her true form as a White Martian until "Usual Suspects" -- she was scared of being rejected by the team (especially Superboy), just as she was rejected for being a White Martian on Mars.

* RelatedInTheAdaptation: In the comics, Miss Martian and the Martian Manhunter have no connection to each other, but M'gann patterns her superhero identity after his in order to camouflage the fact that she's a white Martian, not a green one. This lead to some confusion among viewers who were familiar with the comics version, with people assuming she was lying about being J'onn's niece as well-- but in this alternate continuity, M'gann's mother is J'onn's sister per WordOfGod.
* ShapeshifterDefaultForm: Type B. Generally defaults to a green-skinned version of the main character from a TV show she loved as a child, even though her original form is that of a less humanoid White Martian. Come season three she changes her default form to a white bald humanoid Martian, similar to Martian Manhunter.

* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: "On Mars, the white minority are treated like second-class citizens by the green majority. Of course, ''I'm'' green..."

* AdaptationDistillation: This version of Conner Kent skips past the vast majority of his two decades of publication and focuses primarily on his angsty days.

* FlawedPrototype: He's implied to be this when the circumstances surrounding his creation are revealed. The Light wanted to create a clone of Superman to either replace the man of steel should he fall or get rid of him if he becomes too much of an obstruction for the Light's Plans. They tried to make a fully Kryptonian clone when they created Match but Kryptonian DNA proved to be too complicated to perfectly replicate and while looking like superman and having full Kryptonian strength, Match proved to be mentally unstable and violently insane due to the flaws in the DNA replication. They tried again with human DNA to fill in the gaps making a clone that was partially human who wasn't insane but only has some of Superman's powers and diminished strength compared to the man of steel. Since the light was looking to make Superman's equal to either replace him or kill him, they obviously wouldn't want to settle for a partially human clone with only some of Superman's power. Even though they created the shield's to temporarily grant Conner access to full Kryptonian power, their usefulness was extremely limited. It's very likely that if Conner hadn't been found and the Light's cloning operations hadn't been discovered, they would have either found a way to permanently upgrade Conner with full Kryptonian power or he would have been used as further research on the road to making a perfect clone of Superman.

* NotSoDifferent: From Psimon, according to Superboy. It was part of the reason he broke up with her.

* WouldHitAGirl: There are few scenes of him punching Cheshire.

* FieryRedhead: Red-haired, HotBlooded, {{Keet}}. Do the math.

* [[spoiler:BetterAsFriends: After clearly having become close in the time since Wally's death this is ultimately where she and Will both start and end in season 3]]

* TokenNonHuman: She's the only one in the original formation to not have any real human DNA at all and of Earth origins. Even Superboy had a portion of human DNA.
