History Characters / ArrowverseTimeTravelers

* EvilKnockoff: Robotic versions of the Legends created by Evil Gideon. Because she can't copy most of their powers she makes up for it by increasing their physical ability.

* TomatoInTheMirror: They're programmed to believe they're the real Legends and that the team their chasing are the robot clones. Once they find out, they decide they don't care because this means they're superior to the originals and can be further upgraded by Gideon, so they continue following her orders.

* AmbiguousSituation: How much of his villainous actions in his debut arc is true to who he is as a person is unclear given Evil Gideon's machinations and the subsequent [[TimeyWimeyBall unclear chronology]] surrounding that period. Was the Bishop the Legends first met another robot clone made by Evil Gideon to follow history as recorded at all costs? The only thing that's certain is the circumstances being a StableTimeLoop, since Evil Gideon only existed because the Legends crossed paths with Past Gideon in the first place.

* NormalFishInATinyPond: Godspeed can hardly hold a candle to the likes of the Flash, let alone the likes of the Reverse-Flash or Savitar, but he was initially successful as a criminal simply because there weren't any other speedsters to stop him until Nora discovered her powers. Even when he begins his body double scheme, he can't do much more than inconvenience Team Flash until Barry starts losing his speed.

* AlasPoorVillain: A roundabout example. Present Bishop remains a ruthless, if humorous, villain who does all sorts of bad stuff without remorse. However, in the final episode, we're also introduced to Past Bishop who's a slightly egotistical, if well-meaning, scientist who wants to help out the crew, attends Sara and Ava's wedding, and is horrified by what his future self has turned into. Towards the end, he vows to [[spoiler:never become like his future evil self but unfortunately for him, the Legends have no choice but to erase his memories and send him back to his own time to preserve their present timeline.]]

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: He is essentially Eobard Thawne minus the SuperSpeed. Like Thawne, Bishop is also a MadScientist with [[AGodAmI a god complex]], are evil time travellers from the future, and both have MesACrowd abilities that are tied to [[NotQuiteDead cheating death]]. Both even use a version of Gideon!

!!! '''First Appearance:''' "[[Recap/LegendsOfTomorrowS1E11TheMagnificentEight The Magnificent Eight]]" (''Legends of Tomorrow'' 1x11)

* TooPowerfulToLive: She's powerful to the point she's an InvincibleVillain who is nigh undefeatable. Never mind choosing whether to spare her or not, killing her is practically an impossible feat. The only option Team Flash had left to put a stop to her is to [[RetGone erase her from existence]].

* TooPowerfulToLive: Mallus is easily the most powerful BigBad to ever appear in the Arrowverse at the time of his appearance [[note]]unless you count [[Series/{{Constantine}} Manny]][[/note]]. The Legends spend most of the season trying to [[SealedEvilInACan prevent his release]] and when that fails the only option left is to [[KilledOffForReal kill him permanently]], as there is no way he could have been left around with the safety of existence still guaranteed.

* ConservationOfNinjutsu: While one lone Godspeed clone ranges from being moderately difficult to take down to causing a lot of trouble.

* ArcVillain: He has his own mini-arc in Season Six where he sends fake Godspeeds back to the present while the real Godspeed remains at large. This wraps in Season Seven where he is the FinalBoss of the season.

However, in the final episode, we're also introduced to Past Bishop who's a slightly egotistical, if well-meaning, scientist who wants to help out the crew, attends Sara and Ava's wedding, and is horrified by what his future self has turned into.

* TheResenter: The post-''Series/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'' Heart deeply resents those who have natural speed. He especially hates Bart Allen/Impulse, believing him to be "unworthy" of his abilities.

* AdaptationalLateAppearance: In an unconventional sense. ''Legends of Tomorrow'' is a show that makes use of DC characters but isn't really based off any particular superhero team or running series as its source material. And with a few rare exceptions like the ''Series/Invasion2016'' and ''Series/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'' crossovers, ''Legends'' isn't really known for adapting all that many comic book storylines either. That being said, for a show about DC superheroes involving time travel, especially one that has already featured ComicBook/RipHunter, it's really notable to have taken seven seasons for Booster Gold, ''the'' time travel DC superhero, to finally appear.

* CloningBlues: They appear to be extensions of the original Godspeed, however many of them seem to possess individuality and try to rebel against their master.

* BilingualBonus: Obeiro's incarnation of the character likes to shout in dramatically in Punjabi, with dramatic lightninf and all.

* CompositeCharacter: With Nora following in her father's footsteps, he's a rough approximate for all three of his speedster enemies;

** Godspeed was originally a villain to Barry Allen.

* AdaptationalWimp:
** He is a very formidable speedster in the comics who poses a huge threat. Here he's reduced to a StarterVillain for XS and gets defeated by her when she has no experience being a speedster.
** Averted as of his return in Season Six. He's become more troublesome as he sends Fake Godspeeds in his place, with the fifth one proving to be faster than Barry is at the time and necessitates assistance from Pied Piper. By Season Seven be hard upgraded to the final ArcVillain of the season.

* NiceJobBreakingItVillain: Her bringing the time magnet back to the past, causes her and everyone present to be trapped in a space-time anomaly.

* ConservationOfNinjutsu: While one lone Godspeed clone ranges from being moderately difficult to take down to causing a lot of trouble, in the Season 7 finale whole scores of them get one-shotted by each member of the Flash family.

* AGodAmI: Claims to be a god, and so far, he hasn't shown anything to contradict that. When he finally emerges in his true demonic form, he goes one step further and declares, "I am so much more than a god."

* AGodAmI: By the time he shows up in Season Three of ''Legends'', Grodd has developed full-blown megalomania, referring to himself in the third person and trying to set off World War III so that he can rule over whoever survives, going so far as to describe this goal as "one nation under Grodd".

* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[AssholeVictim Eiling]] treated him horribly while trapped in a cage, but now Grodd returns the favor by torturing him.

A time thief from 2123 who tried to rob the Flash museum.
