YMMV / League of Super Evil

• Designated Villain:
  • Kat Chatsworth. She's classified as a villain, but she doesn't have a costume, and all she does is bore people to sleep and doesn't seem to be doing it on purpose.
  • Voltar in the episode "Swimming With the Sharks". His actions are completely understandable. The pool belongs to him, and it's on his property, yet some neighborhood kid just randomly shows up like he owns the place, takes over the pool, refuses to leave when asked nicely, and mooches food off of the L.O.S.E., mainly due to Red's kindness. Yet when Voltar finally gets fed up and tries to get the kid out by force, he ends up getting attacked by a genetically enhanced dolphin, and by the end of the episode, the pool is ruined when Red has an accident.
• Foe Yay Shipping: When faced with a freeze ray, the General and Skullossus hold hands and grin awkwardly at each other before they're zapped.
• Jerkass Woobie:
  • While Voltar may often be an unsympathetic Jerkass, the only reason he’s a villain is because his dreams of being a hero were brutally crushed when his chance to become one was snatched away from him by Glory Guy, then was made fun of by almost the entire hero school despite all his efforts as a hall monitor to uphold justice.
  • The rest of the League and other villains like Skullossus, Doom Driver, and Rock Gothlington were also this back when they used to be heroes-in-training, as they constantly endured hellish bullying by Glory Guy's posse until Voltar inspired them to fight back and became the big names they are today.
• Magnificent Bastard ("The Night Before Chaos-mas"): The Kinder Creep is the villain equivalent of Santa Claus, where every Chaos-mas he visits and rewards the villains who committed the most evil deeds. When Kinder Creep visits Skullosus' lair, he finds L.O.S.E. impersonating him, where he proceeds to easily overwhelm them in combat. When Skullosus gets awoken, Kinder Creep puts Voltar on the spot, forcing Voltar to explain to a pissed off Skullosus on where his presents were, along with eating the rancid snacks intended for Kinder Creep. Kinder Creep then pursues L.O.S.E. back to their lair, overcoming their attempts to lock him out by entering via another toilet. While continuing to intimidate L.O.S.E., Kinder Creep also rewards them with presents for being sufficiently naughty this year.
• Squick:
  • Voltar's lucky underwear, which not only have never been washed, are also his only pair of underwear.
  • "Not Accordion to Plan" has a hot dog vendor plugging his ears with hot dogs to drown out Red's accordion playing, and then Voltar takes one of them out and eats it from the end that was directly in the vendor's ear.
• Ugly Cute: Voltar. He's a cranky and petty Big Bad Wannabe, but he has the physical attributes of a child, being tiny with a huge head and a very high-pitched voice. Combined with the fact that his idea of villainy is mostly to Poke the Poodle, it's hard to not see him as adorable sometimes.
• Vindicated by History: League of Super Evil fared terribly in the United States when it originally aired on Cartoon Network, due to being one of several Canadian imports shown at the height of the channel's Audience-Alienating Era in 2009. As a result, it suffered from low ratings and negative reception from many fans of the channel, leading to it falling quickly into obscurity in the United States. However, in the years since, a newfound appreciation for the series has risen with some, who see it as one of the better things airing on the channel at the time with an excellent sense of slapstick humor, a humorous and sometimes inventive premise, and a unique style of CGI that accommodated its cartoony antics well and has since become the most celebrated characteristic of its creator company. Nowadays, it's considered one of the all-time classics of Nerd Corps Entertainment alongside Storm Hawks and Slugterra, series that received much better reception than it did when they first came to America.
