[[SidekickGlassCeiling Harley is dismissed as the Joker's girlfriend]], [[StrawMisogynist Doctor Psycho is a pariah for his open misogyny]], [[TheFriendNobodyLikes Clayface annoys others with his overly dramatic ways]], and [[HiddenDepths King Shark is a skilled hacker, yet most people who hire him only care that he's a]] SharkMan. [[OnlySaneWoman The only exception is Ivy]], [[LonersAreFreaks who voluntarily keeps herself isolated from most others.]]
* DeadlyDoctor: Dr Psycho, along with Harley and Ivy who both have doctorates in psychology and botany.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The members of the team all care for each other, and most have a loved one outside the team.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Despite their willingness to commit various crimes, Queen of Fables' [[MurderIsTheBestSolution tendency to murder anything in her way]] disturbs all of them.
** Later, all of them bar [[TokenEvilTeammate Psycho]] have reservations about working with [[spoiler: Darkseid]].
* FiveManBand:
** TheLeader: Harley, has the main goal of joining the Legion of Doom. [[spoiler:When she is temporarily put on ice, the crew loses its energy.]]
** TheLancer: Ivy, cool and aloof, serves as the {{Foil}} to the passionate and unpredictable Harley.
** TheSmartGuy: Dr.Psycho is well versed in all things mental, and even taught Evil 101 at Boston College.
** TheBigGuy: King Shark is normally a GentleGiant ([[GeniusBruiser and a surprisingly talented hacker]]), but can turn into TheBerserker when in Arkham or smells blood.
** TheHeart: Clayface is the most flamboyant of the crew, and serves the group best with his disguises rather than combat prowess.
* ALighterShadeOfBlack:
** Aside from Doctor Psycho, they're all criminals but they are certainly the lesser of two evils when compared the likes of the Joker, the Queen of Fables, and later the Injustice League. Doctor Psycho was disgraced for his misogyny and is only with them to improve his public image. [[spoiler: When Harley doesn't follow through with her alliegence to Darkseid, he betrays them for being too weak.]]
** This is [[LampshadedTrope Lampshaded]] by Batgirl, who sees them more as [[AntiHero Antiheroes]] on account of having spent pretty much the entire second season and the second half of season 1 [[EvilVersusEvil exclusively fighting other supervillains]].
* LovableRogue: For the most part, they act like eccentric, but still [[AffablyEvil affable]] criminals, especially Ivy, Clayface and King Shark, who are perfectly fine with stealing and murder, but have some [[EvenEvilHasStandards lines they don't like to cross]]. The NaiveNewcomer superhero Batgirl actually can't think of them as bad guys even though [[CardCarryingVillain they say otherwise]].
* NeverHurtAnInnocent: They're all ruthless murderers, [[EvenEvilHasStandards but they don't approve of the Queen of Fables murdering an entire family of innocent people.]]
* NominalHero: As of Season 2 they're the only people in any position to deal with the Injustice League. Their motivations are still entirely self-serving and villainous, but based on how the Injustice League is running the city it's pretty clear that them winning would be the far better outcome for the people of Gotham.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: A villainous version. They're made up of a clown, a misanthropic EcoTerrorist, a misogynistic DepravedDwarf, an aspiring actor made out of clay, a SharkMan hacker, and an elderly Jewish cyborg war criminal.
* TrueCompanions: [[WeAREStrugglingTogether Disagreements aside]], they ''will'' come to each other's aid whenever possible.
* TwoGirlsToATeam: Harley and Ivy are the only women on the team. However there's more focus on them than the rest of the crew.
* UnscrupulousHero: When they target other villains, they are mostly doing it out of revenge than because the villain in question is a mass-murdering psychopath. [[spoiler: Harley joins Darkseid for a while after having an affair with Poison Ivy but backs out after realising that she was insincere about the allegiance and only doing this to deny and move on from the affair.]]
* VillainProtagonist: The crew basically plays hopscotch between this and AntiHero.
* VillainousFriendship: They enjoy doing crime together and form a true bond of friendship that is rare even among the villains of the series.
* VillainousUnderdog: They are treated as C-list villains and aren't respected in the criminal underworld. The series is about the gang rising through the ranks to become truly respected villains.
* YouCouldHaveUsedYourPowersForGood: Knowing that her father will go on an all out war with Harley's gang, Batgirl cycled her way to their base and tell them to reconsider their actions, even using this trope by saying that for all of their attempt to rule Gotham as a criminal group, they did a good job in fighting against the Injustice League members or at least keeping their presence on low profile. While King Shark and Clayface do take account of Batgirl's words, Harley being [[GloryHound Harley]], [[RedemptionRejection things go right as you expected]].

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ivy_5.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:"You don't have to rinse out your cans and bottles before putting them in the recycling bin, okay? That's just a myth and it wastes water."]]
->''"Harley, I love you in... *sigh*... in a very odd, hard-to-articulate way. And if you just stopped sabotaging yourself... the world would be yours."''
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LakeBell
Harley's BestFriend, an EcoTerrorist with [[PlantPerson a plant physiology]] that grants her a HealingFactor, drug and poison immunity, and the ability to mutate and control other plants.
----
* AccidentalAdultery: In "Theres No Place To Go But Down", [[spoiler:Ivy unintentionally cheated on Kite Man after she and Harley kissed. Much more seriously, they actually have sex whilst intoxicated in "Bachelorette".]]
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: During the first few episodes Harley regularly pitches Ivy a plan she's been workshopping about blackmailing Gotham City with a nuke to have a highway named after her. Ivy is initially unimpressed by the idea, but when Harley actually pulls it off Ivy ends up admitting to her own bemusement that it was actually worth it.
* AdaptationNameChange: In the comics her middle name is "Lillian", but here it's "Gertrude".
* AdaptationalBadass: In a way. While Ivy in almost all adaptations is a badass on some level, this version of Ivy, in both power and intelligence, is far and away the most competent character in the show. She's so badass in fact that Lex Luthor wanted her to join the Legion of Doom, as revealed in "L.O.D.R.S.V.P.", but she continually shot down his ''many'' requests.
** [[spoiler:Her HealingFactor is also significantly more powerful than in most adaptations, enough to revive her after being speared through the heart by the Joker]].
** [[spoiler: She's so competent that she actually manages to fend off ''Superman'', something that 90% of the entire DC Universe struggles to do.]]
* AdaptationalModesty: Usually known for skimpy outfits, Ivy in this series contrasts Harley's style with a practical and modest, but far from unattractive wardrobe. She also swaps her usual breathy, seductive tones for a flatter, more cynical, DeadpanSnarker affect. The seductress aspect of her character is heavily downplayed in favor of her EcoTerrorist side. In the last few episodes of Season 1 she does end up in skimpy clothes due to ClothingDamage, but that's not intentional on her part.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Ivy is a ''far'' more pleasant character than in the comics, being depicted as Harley's even-tempered and supportive best friend who happens to be an eco-terrorist. Her misanthropy is toned down greatly, and in her own words she still hates other people but she can tolerate being around them. This is lampshaded by Ivy addressing that Harley's diagnosis of her (a misanthrope with abandonment issues who bonds with plants to avoid bonding with humans) was one she took to heart, and she's making the effort to be a more functional person.
* AffectionateNickname: Harley calls her "Ive". This has at least once led to a mistake involving the contraction of "I have".
* AlienBlood: Her blood is green. Also her tears seem to be black.
* AloofAlly: Ivy may constantly proclaim that [[IWorkAlone she wants to work alone]] and not join Harley's crew, but she's been by the girl's side since the beginning, and she ends up becoming a reserve member, helping them out on occasion when they really need it.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Has light green skin.
* ApologeticAttacker: In "Devil's Snare", she apologizes as she tears mutated trees apart.
* BackFromTheDead: In "The Final Joke" [[spoiler:Ivy's HealingFactor, with maybe a bit of ThePowerOfFriendship from Harley, revives her after being speared through the heart in the previous episode.]]
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Ivy and Harley's friendship here is based on how Harley was able to give her genuine help for her psychological issues when Ivy had pretty much been written off as a lost cause by everyone else. Harley was also the first person who ever gave her a gift, which motivated Ivy to open up to her.
* BestFriend: She's Harley's most loyal, caring and helpful friend.
* BrokenBird: She's jaded and cynical, being convinced that almost the entire human race is trash after a very lonely childhood where she was abused and neglected by her parents. Harley and a few more are the only people she brings herself to care about, but she still has a secret fear of being betrayed.
* CardCarryingVillain: Averted, uniquely among the criminals in this show. Unlike Harley and the various supervillains in the Legion of Doom, who revel in being considered evil and villainous, Ivy insists that there's nothing "evil" about her acts of eco-terrorism.
* TheCaretaker: To her loony best friend Harley. Poison Ivy is the reason why Harley could finally realize that the Joker doesn't love her and get out of that abusive relationship for good. After that, Poison Ivy continues to watch out for Harley and save her from the messes she keeps getting into.
* CaringGardener: Her apartment is full of plants that she calls her "babies". When she's locked up in Arkham and later briefly trapped inside Harley's mind, Ivy's main concern is that there's no one to take care of her plants in her place.
* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: She never stopped trying to talk sense into Harley about her being a victim of DomesticAbuse by the Joker and arranges a whole set up with the Riddler just so she can get into Harley's head that Joker doesn't love her. Afterwards, Ivy tries talking Harley out of her stupid attempts at becoming a better villainess. Not that Harley listens to her, which Harley herself even lampshades by saying she enjoys not-listening to Ivy's advice more than anyone else's. When Ivy has to rescue Harley from being beaten by Batman after a prank involving a giant shark nearly gets Robin killed, Ivy complains that her entire existence appears to revolve around cleaning up her loony best friend's messes.
* ColorMotif: Keeping with her plant image, everything she wears (including her underwear) is green, except for her shoes and shirt. Green accessories she has include a bikini, a sun hat, a trenchcoat, sunglasses, and a beanie.
* CombatStilettos: She wears little black high-heeled pumps as part of her main outfit.
* TheConscience: She's like the voice of reason Harley utterly lacks. Whenever Harley does something too risky or amoral, Ivy is the one who tries and talks some sense into her. The effect varies depending on how much Harley is willing to listen to Ivy.
* CoolBigSis: She's way more rational than Harley and watches out for her like if she was her troublemaker little sister.
* CovertPervert: Quickley asked Giganta's boyfriend to call her when she sees him perform cunnilingus on ice-cream.
* CynicismCatalyst: [[spoiler: Ivy admits she lost her faith in humanity the first time her father hit her.]]
* DamselOutOfDistress: In "Harley Quinn Highway", she manages to kill a number of guards holding her despite being in a place with no plants at all, though her escape attempt still fails.
* DeadpanSnarker: You can count the number of times she doesn't speak in an incredibly dry tone on one hand.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: From the first episode, Ivy is set up as the other protagonist of the show next to Harley, being Harley's BestFriend and {{Foil}} who is the main reason Harley gains the determination to get out of her abusive relationship with the Joker. When Ivy isn't helping out Harley, she's usually the center of the episode's subplot.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: At the end of "Devil's Snare", [[spoiler:Ivy is stabbed through the chest by the Joker and bleeds to death in Harley's arms. Thankfully, it turns out not to be permanent.]]
* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:She's fatally impaled in ''Devil's Snare'', but it's revealed an episode later that her HealingFactor is so strong that even having her heart destroyed is a temporary setback.]]
* TheDragon: Even though she keeps insisting she's not joining Harley's crew, she's Harley's most loyal ally and confidant who keeps giving advice and helping out her BestFriend. She also tries to be Harley's voice of reason, but it almost never works.
* EcoTerrorist: Unlike other criminals, Poison Ivy doesn't care about stealing or spreading chaos. She only wants to protect the natural environment, even if that means destroying polluting factories and killing people with their own chemicals. Ivy repeatedly complains about how people treat her like a supervillain because of this.
* EmbarrassingMiddleName: When Kite Man proposes to her, he reveals that her middle name is Gertrude, to her clear discomfort.
* EtTuBrute: As revealed in ''Harley Quinn Highway'', her greatest fear is actually Harley, specifically the fear of putting trust in someone only to be betrayed. She ends up taking it incredibly personally when Harley [[PoorCommunicationKills seemingly]] breaks her promise to help her destroy Plantwide Pavers in favor of being with the Joker. [[spoiler:Her fear of Harley hurting her again is why she is against the idea of them being in a relationship, despite her also having repressed feelings for her.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** She's annoyed when she finds out Frank ate a kid she hired to watch her plants while she was gone, [[PragmaticVillainy albeit because his parents would be looking for him]]. When she finds out Frank ate the kid's parents as well, she's still not pleased.
** In the second episode, when Kite Man uses her lethal pheromones on the kids at Penguin's party, she's pissed at him and forces him to help her get an antidote for them. She's also genuinely upset when the Joker kills Howie Mandel.
** When she meets Kite Man's AbusiveParents whilst dating him, she is visibly discomforted by just how badly they treat him, ultimately calling them out on his behalf. Of course, since she herself had AbusiveParents, this makes perfect sense.
** ''Inner (Para) Demons'' subverts this. [[spoiler:Although she ultimately convinces Harley not to go through with taking Darkseid’s offer of his Para-Demons she’s not actually concerned with the genocide they cause. She simply states Harley is doing it for no purpose.]]
* EveryoneHasStandards Ivy cares heavily about the environment, but even she thinks that paper straws are stupid.
* EvilRedhead: She has red hair and while she's nice to Harley, Ivy is still a misanthropic EcoTerrorist who openly doesn't give a fuck about any human being but Harley.
* FatalFlaw: Her inability to be honest with herself drives much of the plot of Season 2's latter half. As she puts it, [[spoiler:she hurt alot of people delaying the inevitable.]]
* {{Foil}}: Her entire situation throughout Season 1 is contrasted with Harley. Harley wants to build a team, but Ivy funny enough treats them more like a family, whereas Harley treats them like a means to an end. Harley is highly ambitious, but lacks all forms of self-awareness, which leads to disaster. Ivy has no real ambition other than helping her best friend and she fully knows what she's about. Harley is obsessed with an utter nutjob who wants nothing to do with her and treats her like shit. Ivy dates a guy who is extremely goofy, but ultimately turns out to be great (and healthy) relationship-material.
* ForgivenButNotForgotten: [[spoiler:Kite Man manages to forgive Ivy for having an affair with Harley while they were engaged, but he has not forgotten it.]]
* FreudianExcuse: Poison Ivy didn't always hate humanity. Her parents' abuse and neglect along with a life with no friends until Harley came along made her into the misanthropic EcoTerrorist she's today.
* FriendVersusLover: A really complicated example in that the Joker is technically Harley's ex, but Ivy's main issue with Harley is that she constantly allows herself to be goaded by him despite him not being worth it, rather than really appreciating the friendship she has with Ivy.
** Season 2 flips this around, with Ivy having choosing between her lover (Kite Man) and her best friend (Harley). [[spoiler:[[RelationshipUpgrade The season ends with Harley becoming Ivy's lover after Kite Man breaks off their engagement and Ivy realizes that she only went along with the wedding for negative reasons]].]]
* FriendlessBackground: She doesn't have anyone she can call a friend except for Harley. One of her most traumatic childhood memories is a [[OnePersonBirthdayParty birthday party with no friends to celebrate it]].
** Season 2 reveals, besides Harley, the only other friend Pamela has is Jennifer, who she's known since ''kindergarten'', but also seems to have loads of personal issues herself.
* GiveGeeksAChance: She becomes attracted to Kite Man, a goofy supervillain loser regarded as a joke by everyone. Ivy is embarrassed to be seen in public with him, but she ultimately admits she does want to date him.
* GreenThumb: If there is any plant life in her presence, she can control it and turn it into huge minions.
* HatesTheirParent: One of her deepest fears is her cold-hearted and unloving father. [[spoiler:She later admits her father beating her was the reason why she became a misanthrope.]] As Harley says, both of them have daddy issues.
* HealingFactor: Her plant physiology allows her to heal from all manner of wounds and pathogens [[spoiler:even having her heart destroyed only puts her out of commission temporarily.]]
* HellbentForLeather: Wears a short dark green leather jacket. She also notes in "Devil's Snare" it's her favorite top.
* HiddenDepths: You'd be surprised to know that Ivy is a NASCAR fan.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Her villainy is rooted in environmentalism, and she advises people not to waste water in ''Finding Mr. Right''. But Wonder Woman's Lasso reveals that she takes long showers and doesn't like paper straws (though these could be [[JustifiedTrope justified by her plant-based physiology for the former and paper being made of trees in the latter.]])
* IDontWantToRuinOurFriendship: [[spoiler:Harley is Ivy's best friend and the most important person in her life, but unlike with Kite Man, Ivy can't trust Harley won't do something that could break her heart or ruin their relationship. After Harley went back to the Joker and let Ivy down so many times, Ivy can ''barely'' allow herself to keep Harley as a friend, so becoming lovers with her is too much of a risk for Ivy to take with all the emotional baggage she already has. After Kite Man spells it out for Ivy that her heart really belongs to Harley in "The Runaway Bridesmaid" and breaks off their engagement, she allows herself to reciprocate Harley's feelings.]]
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:The Joker harpoons her in "Devil's Snare".]]
* IncidentalVillain: She has little interest in being an out-and-out supervillain, and instead maintains a mostly normal life with an apartment and real life problems and concerns, only very occasionally going on sprees of eco-terrorism against targets she thinks deserve breaking her normal routine.
* InsistentTerminology: She refuses to be called a villain and claims she is an eco-terrorist, consistently saying that she doesn't think it is villainous for someone to work hard in protecting nature.
* InLoveWithLove: Her relationship with Kite Man has shades of this. Ivy believes she loves him back and agrees to marry him even though she's not entirely sure she's ready for that sort of commitment because he's one of the most decent and caring people she knows. However, she seems more attracted to the idea of getting married and staying in a "safe" relationship rather than necessarily to Kite Man himself. [[spoiler:Her hesitation becomes obvious to where Kite-Man picks up on it and after the wedding is ruined, he reaches his own breaking point and ends the relationship for both their own good.]]
* {{Irony}}: Poison Ivy's misanthropy was born out of being hurt by the people supposedly closest to her, even Harley pushes it because of her former loyal to the Joker. And yet, her own emotional problems lead her to hurt the two people closest in her current life: Harley and Kite-Man.
* IWorkAlone: Ivy insists this constantly refusing offers from the Legion of Doom and denying that she's part of Harley's crew. That said, she'll still join Harley's heists if asked.
* JustFriends: [[spoiler:Harley and Ivy have been best friends for years, but it's not until after they share a passionate kiss during their escape from Bane's pit that they realize their feelings for each other are romantic. This only makes things awkward between them because Ivy refuses to acknowledge she's in love with Harley and Harley is forced to suppress her feelings for Ivy to not get in the way of Ivy's engagement to Kite Man. After they wind up having sex following a rager in "Bachelorette", Harley finally confesses to Ivy, only for Ivy to turn her down in favor of going through with marrying Kite Man, believing her and Harley are incapable of having a lasting romantic relationship. However, in "The Runaway Bridesmaid", Kite Man realizes that Ivy truly has stronger feelings for Harley than she has for him and breaks off their engagement, leading Ivy to allow herself to [[RelationshipUpgrade reciprocate Harley's feelings]].]]
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:Killing Becca, Condiment King's fiancee. Unlike Condiment King himself, she never did anything to Ivy or Kite Man.]] It comes off as a needlessly mean and cuel act of villainy.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Ivy is usually accompanied by mystical melody when she uses her powers.
* LessEmbarrassingTerm: She dislikes being called a supervillain, preferring "ecoterrorist."
* LonelyRichKid: Her parents were wealthy, but they never gave her any love or attention. She also never made human friends, so her only companion was a ficus plant [[spoiler:until her father cruelly threw it away]].
* MessianicArchetype: [[spoiler:After being resurrected in "The Final Joke", she rises into the air with her arms out, her body forming a cross shape.]]
* MessyHair: In the flashback of "All the Best Inmates Have Daddy Issues," it looks like Ivy didn't bother to comb her hair to show how much of a disaster she was until she and Harley became friends.
* MisanthropeSupreme: Was formerly this before her therapy sessions with Harley. She doesn't quite ''like'' people in the present, but she can hold conversations with them without wanting to vomit, as she puts it.
** It's telling that the only friend of pre-Poison-Ivy Pamela Isley's who joins her bachelorette trip is Jennifer... from kindergarten.
* MistakenForPregnant: In Episode 4, Harley returns to Poison Ivy's apartment seeing a banner that says "It's a boy!" and baby stuff all over the place, causing her to think she's pregnant and having a baby shower. She rubs Ivy's belly and congratulates her, but Ivy tells her she's not pregnant and doesn't know why the stuff is there. It turns out to be a prank set up by the Joker mocking Harley for having Robin, a preteen boy, as an arch nemesis.
* MoralityChain: Ivy's influence keeps Harley from going off the deep end. When she and Harley are avoiding each other after [[spoiler: their awkward kiss]], [[TokenEvilTeammate Psycho]] talks Harley into [[spoiler: [[DealWithTheDevil pledging herself to Darkseid]] for a Parademon army]]. Harley gets cold feet and backs out of it as soon as Ivy shows up and questions whether she really wants to go through with it.
* MundaneUtility: Controlling plant life is very useful not just for fighting, but also for cleaning her apartment.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: PlayedForLaughs in "Devil's Snare". Ivy is forced to fight mutated trees in order to protect the crew. When she splits one of the trees in half and sees its age, she's horrified at realizing she just killed a kid.
** A bit more serious, but she's quite ashamed of how she hurt Kite-Man in her infedelity with him [[spoiler: and she's reduced to tears when he ends the relationship.]]
* MythologyGag:
** Ivy's attire (green skin, foliage pants) resembles her portrayal in the ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries''.
** Ivy considers Harley's wish to surpass her ex-lover to be relatable. One of her origin stories has her in a toxic relationship with Jason Woodrue the Floronic Man, similar to Harley and the Joker.
* NatureLover: She cares more for the environment and natural life than most of humanity.
* NobleTopEnforcer: Ivy isn't into real villainy and only helps Harley in her schemes out of loyalty. She also steps in when Harley or someone in her team is at risk of going ''truly'' evil.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: She routinely gets right into Harley's personal space, which is especially notable since she's otherwise as standoffish as you'd expect from a clinical misanthrope with attachment issues. It's both a sign of how much she cares about her best friend, and a sign of just how much effort it takes to get Harley Quinn to listen to you more than half the time.
* NotGoodWithPeople: With the notable exceptions of Harley Quinn and Kite Man, Ivy vastly prefers to associate with plants than with other human beings.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Despite being the voice of reason in Harley's crew, Ivy has shown that she's not above indulging in some silly antics herself.
* OnlySaneWoman: She may have been an inmate at Arkham Asylum, but living with Harley and working with the likes of Kite Man, Penguin, Bane, and Clayface makes her look positively rational.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Because of her social insecurities and inexperience with stable relationships, Ivy unwittingly causes a long chain of miseries in the second half of Season 2 where she tries to rush into a wedding with Kite Man for the sake of finding security and trust, [[spoiler: despite not truly being in love with him but rather wants to be with Harley]]. Her constant denial to be honest with herself and others drags out the issues it creates, [[spoiler: leading to the wedding being ruined in a BallroomBlitz of supervillains versus Gordon's police raid, a fed-up Kite Man coldly calling off the wedding, and Ivy in tears with her and Harley trying to escape the GCPD.]]
* PowersDoTheFighting: As Frank bluntly lampshades, Ivy uses her plants to do almost everything for her, including fighting her battles. Eventually averted, as she's shown to be able to fight (dirty), and use a handgun like a pro.
* PragmaticVillainy: She hired a kid to water her plants in her apartment while she was gone, except Frank ate him. She points out that his parents might be looking for him (to which Frank reveals he also ate them).
* PrimalScene: [[spoiler:When Ivy was a child, she accidentally caught her father having sex with a maid. However, what traumatized her the most was her father beating her senseless over it and then killing her first plant as additional salt to the wounds.]]
* RealisticDictionIsUnrealistic: Frequently {{averted}} in general, but Ivy in particular tends to avert this - Ivy often stumbles over her words, stammers and repeats herself.
* RedOniBlueOni: She's the level-headed and sardonic Blue Oni to Harley Quinn's noisy and uncontrollable Red Oni.
* RedHeadInGreen: As standard for Poison Ivy, her hair is red and her outfits are green.
* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: Harley is the person she's the most openly affectionate towards. On more than one occasion Ivy has said 'I love you' to Harley, to her face, all while looking shy and demure. [[spoiler:It becomes a hell of a lot more complicated after they share a passionate kiss following their escape from Bane's pit. Harley is more than willing to undergo a RelationshipUpgrade after realizing her feelings towards Ivy are romantic, but because she's already engaged to Kiteman and her own more complicated feelings towards Harley, Ivy wants them remain JustFriends. They upgrade to an OfficialCouple at the end of "The Runaway Bride" after Kite Man spells it out for Ivy that her true feelings are towards Harley.]]
* SarcasticDevotee: Ivy is Harley's most jaded and critical friend, but also the most loyal and protective one without any doubt.
* ShortRangeGuyLongRangeGuy: Has this dynamic with Harley Quinn, with Harley using her bat and acrobatics for close-range combat while Ivy uses her plant powers from a distance.
* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: To make her stand out as one of the main characters, Ivy has red hair and green eyes.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Ivy herself admits Kite Man isn't the type of guy she would usually date, but for some reason she can't help but to give him a chance. This must have something to do with the fact that despite being a sorry joke of a supervillain and a perverted goof, Kite Man is a very decent guy when you look past that. Ivy admires his laid-back and confident personality, considering him a way better man than any other male supervillain she knows. However, Harley thinks Ivy should look at other options instead of settling down for the first man who is nice to her. Though she does come around. [[spoiler: This is played a bit by the end since Ivy ends up with Harley, but only after Harley makes the effort to become a better person, putting Ivy's wants before hers along with working to be more reliable. Namely that while she and Kite-Man are both pretty decent people, the pre-established emotional investment Ivy has with Harley as friends ends up helping to make the relationship more appealing.]]
* StuffedIntoTheFridge: [[spoiler: In "Devil's Snare," the Joker cold-bloodedly murders Ivy to deprive Harley of the person who truly loves and cares for her the most. PlayedWith an episode later in that it really only puts Ivy out of commission temporarily due to her HealingFactor.]]
* SugarAndIcePersonality: She's cool, composed, and sarcastic as hell, but her best friend Harley and her boyfriend Kite Man bring out an incredibly sweet side in her.
* SurroundedByIdiots: You can tell Ivy really wants to use her plants to strangle the life out of the psychotic morons she works with.
* TalkingIsAFreeAction: Stops in the middle of a brawl to remind a TV audience that washing their recycling before putting it in the bin is unnecessary and wastes water.
* TokenGoodTeammate: The crew are all supervillains, but she's a WellIntentionedExtremist EcoTerrorist with a reasonably functional ideology behind her actions and a strong sense of social justice (again, by supervillain standards). When someone needs to be the resident conscience, it's usually her.
* UndyingLoyalty: Ivy is on Harley's side no matter what and has her friend's best interests in mind. She doesn't want to participate in Harley's schemes, but will always be there to bail her out when things go south.
* UptightLovesWild: Deconstructed. [[spoiler:The serious, cynical and sarcastic Ivy harbors repressed feelings for Harley, who is crazy, impulsive and uncontrollable. However, Ivy rejects Harley's love precisely because Harley is too unpredictable for Ivy to believe a relationship between them can last or Harley won't hurt her again. Ivy decides it's safer to marry Kite Man because he's steady. Despite this however, Kite Man comes to the realization during their wedding that, despite this, Ivy does truly love Harley more than him and breaks things off with her. Ivy comes to the realization that, regardless of her impulsive personality, [[DeconReconSwitch Harley still was willing to change for her sake]] and allows herself to finally reciprocate.]]
* TheVamp: While traditionally this, her dealings with Kite Man and a bunch of kids indicate that she is trying to avert this trope and make it on her own as a capable villainess.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: She identifies as an eco-terrorist who makes it very clear that she doesn't create chaos and mayhem ForTheEvulz, but rather for the noble cause of saving the planet.
* WhatTheHellHero: At the end of "A Seat at the Table", she finally runs out of patience at Harley's disconsideration of her friendship when she finds out Harley lied to her and stood her up to let herself be seduced and dumped by the Joker ''again''. Ivy is especially angry because that was like Harley wasting all of Ivy's efforts of getting Harley out of that vicious cycle of abuse.
* WickedCultured: Ivy's preferred alcohol is red wine, she reads books when relaxing, likes museums, and (during Season 1) took pride in having designer furniture (which, to her annoyance, Harley kept smashing).
* YouAreACreditToYourRace: While she's a self-admitted misanthrope, she honestly believes her best friend Harley is "the only human being who is worth a shit". She later extends this to Kite Man, finding his confidence attractive enough to give dating him a shot.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: The Cowled Critic describes him as "universally hated". Granted, the Cowled Critic is also his abused son, but he likely wouldn't have said it online if he expected much disagreement. [[spoiler:By the end of Season 2, the rest of crew want nothing to do with him either, and pass him over when they come to break Harley out of Arkham.]]
* AbusiveDad: He was one to his son Herman, locking him in the basement for days, killed anyone who showed Herman any sign of liking him, [[MurderArsonAndJaywalking refused to get him a WayneStation 4]], and named him [[EmbarrassingFirstName Herman]]. Psycho states he did this to give his son a good FreudianExcuse so that he could grow up to be a great supervillain.
* AdaptationalBadass: Most variants of Doctor Psycho are merely telepaths, here he is a powerful telepath and telekinetic that can go toe to toe with Wonder Woman in a fight.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: The comic version was a flat out SerialRapist and an open {{Sadist}} who had no redeeming features at all and would cross any lines without shame or remorse. This version, while still a misogynistic supervillain, is nowhere near as bad a person. He loves his son, showed sympathy to Sy and his sister and was genuinely touched by their story, was just as sad about [[spoiler:Ivy]]'s death as the others, and was genuinely horrified by the Queen of Fables' massacre of the Praxis family reunion. To put it in perspective, the comic version of Doctor Psycho once mind controlled a bunch of people into cannibalizing each other, got ''turned on'' from the experience, and then [[MindRape broadcast his own arousal back into the survivors' minds so they could experience it as if it were their own]]. That said, during the latter half of season 2, he goes through a major case of JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope, becoming far more murderous and more like his comic counterpart. By the end of season 2, he possesses almost no redeeming qualities at all.
* AlmightyJanitor: Although he was once a full supervillain and Legion of Doom member in his own right, upon Harley getting them back into the Legion of Doom he is considered a henchman - and is treated as such. Despite this, he is still a powerful telepath that can go toe-to-toe with Wonder Woman (or more specifically, he ''could'', but he's no longer allowed to fight heroines).
* ArcVillain: [[spoiler:Becomes the main antagonist of the second half of Season 2, picking up Harley's abandoned conquest of Gotham in hopes of becoming Darkseid's {{Dragon}}.]]
* BigBadDuumvirate: [[spoiler:In the second half of Season 2, after failing to convince Harley to use Darkseid's army to TakeOverTheWorld, he teams up with the Riddler to take control of the wayward Parademons and carry out his dream of ruling the world.]]
* TheBrute: The most powerful and, hilariously enough, the most diminutive guy on the crew.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: For all of season 1 and the first half of season 2, he is portrayed as a NobleBigot JerkWithAHeartOfGold who, despite being a misogynistic supervillain, has a moral code and many redeeming qualities, thus holding the moral ground along with the rest of the crew whenever they face other villains. Batgirl even states that she sees him and the rest of the crew more as [[AntiHero anti heroes]] than full fledged villains. The second half of season 2 strips him of all his redeeming traits apart from (presumably) his love for his son.
* ChronicVillainy: He's got a severe empathy deficiency that makes it difficult for him to tell when he's crossing the line from socially-acceptable evil to the unacceptable kind. As such, he tends to treat the crew as his prosthetic conscience. Come season 2, he begins to feel that his time with the crew has caused him to become progressively less villainous, leading him to try to return to villainy by attempting to convince Harley to TakeOverTheWorld. [[spoiler:He then splits from the crew after Harley gets cold feet]].
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: In the Season 1 finale, the Joker brutally tortures all of Harley's crew. And what torture did he prepare for Doctor Psycho? Have him be ForcedToWatch videos about feminism.
* TheCorrupter: Plays this the part towards Harley at the tail end of season 2, trying (and briefly succeeding) to talk her into pursuing higher level TakeOverTheWorld level supervillainy.
* CountryMatters: During a fight, he calls Wonder Woman the C-word on national television. Then, while apologizing for the incident on a talk show, [[AesopAmnesia he drops the C-bomb again]] when Giganta calls him out for his sexist behavior. Ivy remarks that [[EvenEvilHasStandards he's just become the least employable person on the planet]].
* CruellaToAnimals: In "Riddle U," he kills escaped zoo animals to make candles from their fat and hats from their fur.
* DeadpanSnarker: Like Poison Ivy, Psycho often makes sarcastic remarks at the stupidity he gets involved in because of his teammates.
* DepravedDwarf: A little person who's also a supervillain and misogynist.
* DoubleStandardRapeSciFi: Him brainwashing Giganta into loving him and having a son with him is treated less seriously than calling Wonder Woman the C-word.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In a battle with Wonder Woman, he uses a politically incorrect slur that shocks everyone, thus setting him up as a foul-tempered potty-mouth.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: PlayedWith. He cares about his son in his own way and thinks it's his responsibility as a supervillain father to raise him into an irredeemably evil person. He did this by abusing him to the extreme that could drive anyone insane.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** He's a raging misogynist, but he's a doctor. He treats his ability to fix people very seriously and is offended by Ivy's suspicion that he would do something nasty in Harley's brain.
** He's also just as horrified as the rest of Harley's crew when the Queen of Fables reveals her mass-murdering tendencies.
** He apparently refused to sell King Shark's fin to a Japanese chef... [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and resents Harley for not being there to tell him not to consider it.]]
** He's clearly as horrified and saddened by [[spoiler:Ivy]]'s death as the rest of the team.
* EvilFeelsGood: As a child, he got a big rush from watching a Ferris wheel collapse and kill everyone on board. It was his StartOfDarkness moment.
* EvilIsPetty: Broadcasts Harley and Ivy having sex to all of Gotham for no other reason than he was pissed for losing.
* EvilParentsWantGoodKids: Averted. Big time. The last thing he wanted for his son Herman was for him to grow up into a "happy and heroic" person. Therefore, he raised him in the worst way he could.
* FreudianExcuse: Parodied. When he was a kid, he always wanted to ride the Ferris wheel but he was too short and his mother told him to be patient and he'll big enough next time. As time goes on, he still hasn't grown big enough to ride the Ferris wheel. Then one day, the Ferris wheel collapses with people still on it and he felt satisfied watching all those people die and it was on that day he decided to hate women. [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse It makes no sense and even Darkseid isn't sure how those two things are supposed to connect]]
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: He's the only member of Harley's crew who nobody is fond of because he's such a misogynistic asshole. By the end of season 2 [[spoiler:he's not anyone's friend anymore]].
* HasAType: [[GiantWoman Giant women.]] He brainwashed Giganta into marrying him, and despite normally having a mutually-chilly relationship with Poison Ivy, when she supersizes herself in "Devil's Snare," he's instantly turned on and tries to pay her to put him in her pocket. Psycho outright admits to the crew that he has a type.
* HeManWomanHater: Wouldn't be Dr. Psycho if he weren't a raging misogynist.
* HeightAngst: He's sensitive about his height.
* HiddenDepths: He has enough practical knowledge to render animal fat into candles. He can also make hats out of animal hide, suggesting he knows how to work leather.
* HotSkittyOnWailordAction: A DepravedDwarf had a child with a GiantWoman. Though he admitted that the sex wasn't great.
* {{Hypocrite}}: During the latter half of season 2, he has ''many'' instances of this:
** Back in season 1, he was horrified by the massacre of the Praxis family, stating "We never covered anything this fucked up!" In season 2, [[spoiler:he goads Harley into initiating a massacre of Gotham City with a parademon army that puts the Queen of Fables' one to shame]].
** He stated that he refused to sell King Shark's fin to a Japanese chef, showing care for him. In season 2, [[spoiler:he brainwashes King Shark and takes joy in making him relive his traumatic childhood memory of killing his brother]].
** He showed sympathy to Sy and his sister, yet [[spoiler:he shows no sadness when Sy sacrifices himself]].
* HypnotizeThePrincess: MindRaped Giganta to fall in love with him, though she comes out of it on national television and calls him out for it.
* IgnoredExpert: PlayedForLaughs: He takes Harley's crew on a JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind and -- having done this many times before -- repeatedly tries to warn them about the various complexities of the human psyche and how many problems the group will face if they do anything rash. Much to his annoyance, nobody listens to him.
* InformedAttribute: His misogyny is so downplayed in the show compared to how often its brought up. While he called Wonder Woman the C-word and raped Giganta, the latter of which is glossed over, he spends most of the show willingly working for Harley and Ivy, and thought he trades snark and insults with them, he also does the same with Clayface, King Shark, and Sy, and makes considerably less sexist remarks than Joker or the Injustice League do, and yet, he's the only one who gets labelled a sexist creep. [[spoiler:His betrayal in Season 2 has him claim he hates working for women as part of the reason he quit, but what was actually shown was Harley refusing to TakeOverTheWorld and he seemed to have no problem being her dragon in this scenario.]] Possibly its due to drawing from his depiction in modern comics, where he's a little creep but he's not above working with women and he keeps his sexism to himself more than anything.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: In the latter half of season 2, he realizes he's gone soft and [[spoiler:loses almost all of his redeeming qualities, betrays the crew, and tries to kill Harley and lead a parademon army in massacring Gotham and conquering Earth]].
* KickTheDog:
** [[spoiler: He forces King Shark to share his most traumatic memory.]]
** [[spoiler: Mind-controlling Ivy and forcing her to kill her best friend and secret lover, Harley]]
** [[spoiler: In one final act of spite, he shares Harley and Ivy having and affair to Kite-man, Ivy's fiancee and all across Gotham.]]
* KickTheMoralityPet: [[spoiler: In Season 1, he was willing to put aside his grudge against Harley at the time to rescue Poison Ivy from Scarecrow. In Season 2, after Psycho goes rogue, he mind controls Ivy on the spot the next time they meet, showcasing that he's completely gone off the deep end.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: [[spoiler: His betrayal of Harley marks the point where everything goes sideways for her in Season 2.]]
* MadEye: Fittingly for someone going by Doctor Psycho, his left eye is drawn bigger than his right one.
* MistakenForGay: In "Dye Hard," Psycho tells the crew that he and Riddler like each other and are "together". Obviously, Psycho means he and Riddler are teaming up [[spoiler:to control the Parademons and kill Harley]], but Clayface takes it the wrong way.
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: [[spoiler:After he turns against Harley, Psycho's main grudge is the she never made him feel respected and appreciated when he was in her crew.]]
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Played with. He is no mad ''scientist'' per se, but he did teach Evil 101 in an actual university, so he actually has a [=PhD=], rather than just adopting ''Doctor'' as part of a villainous nickname.
* TheNapoleon: Very short and prone to yelling and insulting people over trivial things.
* NobleBigot: Proud misogynist, but had no problem working with Poison Ivy and being led by Harley Quinn, and up until season 2 was fine with being part of her crew. [[spoiler:He drops the "noble" part in the second half of season 2]].
* OhCrap: After he calls Diana the [[CountryMatters C-word]] on national television, he's taken aback by everyone else's reaction.
* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Publicly calling Wonder Woman a cunt. Even Darkseid knows about it and considers it low of him.
* PetTheDog: He has quite a few moments where he shows he can stop being awful when he wants to, particularly in season 1:
** "L.O.D.R.S.V.P." has him help Sy reconcile with his sister who was transformed into an octopus monster by using his telepathy to act as her translator. Hearing Mirielle's feelings touches him so much that he cries.
** In "Harley Quinn Highway," he agrees to help Harley rescue Ivy without asking anything in return.
** In "The Final Joke," he pays his respects at [[spoiler:Ivy]]'s funeral along the rest of the crew.
** He's truly moved by [[spoiler:Mister Freeze sacrificing his life to cure his wife]] in "Thawing Hearts".
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: His FatalFlaw. He's evil, but not ''marketable'' evil, and he's trying to correct it with limited success.
** The Legion of Doom kicked him out because [[EvenEvilHasStandards even they found Psycho's blatant misogyny to be crossing a line]].
** He also shows a hint of being racist. While we don't know what he said to set off Black Manta, he replies it was "[[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial nothing racist]]" when asked.
* PowerPerversionPotential: He brainwashed Giganta into loving him.
* PragmaticVillainy: He joins Harley's crew since working in a crew with a female leader would help repair his image that he so utterly ruined.
* PsychicPowers: He can read minds, brainwash people and move objects with his mind.
* PutOnABus: [[spoiler:He's been locked in Arkham Asylum for his partnership with Darkseid, with no indication that he'll be getting out anytime soon. Not that the crew would even want him back after everything he did.]]
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In a peculiar example of this, Psycho quits Harley's crew after she [[spoiler: backs out of the deal he brokered with Darkseid]], disappointed by her reluctance to engage in that level of supervillainy.
* SoProudOfYou: When he sees his son is more evil than he could have ever imagined him to be, Psycho tells him how proud he is.
* TheSociopath: Downplayed. He has the least functioning moral compass of the gang, has committed rape and child abuse, was so unlikeable the Legion kicked him out, and has multiple times taken an ItsAllAboutMe approach. But multiple scenes shows he has compassion for others and functioning empathy, such as his sadness at [[spoiler:Mr. Freeze dying to save his wife]]. In the latter half of season 2, however, [[spoiler:he loses most of his redeeming qualities and becomes more of a true sociopath]].
* SoreLoser: [[spoiler:After being defeated by Harley and Ivy, he uses his powers to send the memory of their night of drunken sex to everyone in Gotham out of pure spite]].
* SquishyWizard: His PsychicPowers make him one of the most powerful members of the team, but physically, he's a diminutive dwarf who could be easily crushed by Harley's bat. He's still MadeOfIron enough to take beatings that would kill a normal man.
* TheStarscream: [[spoiler:When Harley backs out of her deal with Darkseid, Dr. Psycho takes control of the parademon army himself and, after acquiring a device that enhances his psychic powers, hypnotizes King Shark and Clayface into turning on Harley as well.]]
* StayInTheKitchen: While appearing with Giganta on a talk show, Dr. Psycho tries to speak on her behalf and put words in her mouth, all the while vehemently demanding that she stay silent.
* TheyCallMeMisterTibbs: He insists on being called ''Doctor'' Psycho.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: {{Exaggerated|Trope}}. He's a DepravedDwarf who was married to [[GiantWoman Giganta]] (because he mind-controlled her into it). He barely reaches her ankles. Since the two have a son together, Poison Ivy [[HotSkittyOnWailordAction wonders how that works considering the extreme size difference.]]
* TokenEvilTeammate: The crew may be supervillains, but he's consistently got the least functional moral compass (alongside Sy). Interestingly, he's both aware of this and none too happy about it (not least because being a horrible jerk to everyone has ruined his career and his life). However, he eventually can't take not doing true evil anymore and quits the team after [[spoiler:Ivy talks some sense into Harley when the latter unleashes a Parademon army in Gotham]].
* TookALevelInJerkass: For most of the series, he's an obnoxious [[TheNapoleon Napoleon]] who only joins Harley because the Legion of Doom kicked him out, but multiple scenes did show he had a softer side, he seemed to genuinely enjoy working with the crew, and was shocked at the gruesome brutality of Queen of Fables like everyone else. By the second half of Season 2, all of his redeeming traits are gone and his worst traits maximized, starting with [[spoiler:taking control of a Parademon army to kill all the people in Gotham and take over the world. Two episodes later, he betrays the crew by teaming up with Riddler and trying to kill Harley.]]
* ToughLove: After a fashion. His son resents him for giving him such a fucked-up childhood until Psycho explains he did that because he cares so much about his son that he didn't want to see his potential as a supervillain going to waste, so he gave his son one big FreudianExcuse to set him in the path of villainy.
* TranslatorBuddy: He plays this role for Mirielle, Sy's sister who got turned into an octopus monster. Psycho uses his telepathic powers to let Sy know how Mirielle feels and help them reconcile.
* WalkingSpoiler: There's a certain thing Dr. Psycho does in Season 2 that makes it difficult to discuss him afterwards. Namely, [[spoiler:that he betrays Harley and forms a BigBadDuumvirate with the Riddler.]]
* WeUsedToBeFriends: [[spoiler:For all the things Dr. Psycho did to them while he was working under Darkseid, the crew have more or less dropped Psycho from the team. When King Shark, Clayface, and Frank infiltrate Arkham to help Harley escape, they don't even acknowledge him.]]

!!Clayface (Basil Karlo)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/clayface_8.jpg]]
%% [[caption-width-right:350:some caption text]])
->''"Brother! It is I! The Superman! From Kryptalon!"''
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AlanTudyk, Creator/JonahPlatt (singing voice)
An actor made of clay who takes great pride in his art.
----
* AccentUponTheWrongSyllable: He often overemphasises the last syllable of a [=sentEEENCE=]. It's generally a sign that he's descended so far into his obsession with LargeHam theatrics that he can't even hold his diction together.
* AdaptationalDumbass: This Clayface is an idiot who can't even go one mission without trying to exaggerate the false identities he creates and constantly overplays the parts. He was easily tricked by Maxi Zeus into blowing his cover, and he blew the team's cover when he was impersonating Batman because he couldn't keep himself from singing.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Most versions of Clayface are murderous, unstable monsters. This one's just a friendly and endearingly inept actor who happens to mostly work for supervillains.
* AdaptationalWimp: In other media, he's a powerful enough {{Shapeshift|ing}}er to warrant [[GodzillaThreshold drastic measures]] specifically for him. Here, Doctor Psycho is able to beat him up with his bare fists and he gets his clock cleaned by Maxie Zeus, a powerless human and lesser villain. In fact, throughout the entire first season, besides his debut appearance's fist fight with Doctor Psycho, the only other (very brief) moment he was seen fighting was shapeshifting his arm into an axe to fend off the sentient tree monsters created by the Scarecrow. This is a far cry from ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity'' where he is a difficult FinalBoss.
** Although the episode "Lover's Quarrel" shows [[spoiler: that he's capable of his more traditional feats of power when under Psycho's MindControl, possibly indicating that his fighting prowess is hampered by his love of "acting" rather than physical weakness]].
* AffablyEvil: Is one of the friendliest members of Harley's crew, after King Shark.
* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: Gender identity is always a complex issue when talking about free-form shapeshifters (it's not, after all, something that our understanding of gender and sexuality has had to seriously address so far), but Clayface makes it especially difficult - his ShapeshifterDefaultForm is male and apparently quite comfortable being so, but he only ever attempts any form of romance (whether it be seducing someone for a mission or dating off the clock) when wearing a female form.
* AmbiguouslyGay: When he expresses romantic or sexual interest, it's only ever in men. The 'ambiguous' part comes from the fact that while his ShapeshifterDefaultForm is male, he prefers to approach them as women - see AmbiguousGenderIdentity above.
* BadBadActing: Just like his depiction in ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'', Clayface is such a bad actor that he rarely ever fools anybody even with his shapeshifting.
* BrainBleach: He throws his eyeballs away upon seeing the carnage left by the Queen of Fables. If anything, he throws them too early, as she follows up by [[FedToPigs cleaning the crime scene]] in a manner [[GoryDiscretionShot too gruesome even for the audience.]]
* BritishTeeth: Has crooked yellow teeth, plus he speaks in a British accent.
* CampGay: So campy that he can play a dramatic college girl as easily as breathing and he's all for transforming into a woman to seduce men more than once.
* ChewingTheScenery: Creator/AlanTudyk is clearly having a ball playing a hammy actor UpToEleven.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Because of his ComplexityAddiction he ends up doing this frequently. When confronted with Red Riding Hood's wolf - a wolf dressed up as an elderly lady - he turned himself into Grandpapa Wolf.
* ComplexityAddiction: Due to his flair for the dramatic, every single character of his must require some kind of elaborate back-story and/or hidden darkness, or else he can't find the motivation to play them. When tasked with ad-libbing the role of a delivery guy to distract Maxie Zeus, his idea is "a delivery guy who is also Maxie's long-lost son", which winds up exposing him as a fraud.
* TheDitz: He demonstrates an incredible level of stupidity. He thought that a tank could shoot invisible missiles, has blown his cover more than once, and it took him a moment to realize that the Big Bad Wolf that the Queen of Fables summoned was not actually a grandmother. He than tried to confuse the wolf by shapeshifting into another wolf ''right in front of it'' and pretending to be its husband. Psycho even pointed out that the wolf was actually a male one wearing a dress and not a female one, so this attempt made no sense even in context. His stupidity is even lampshaded in "Thawing Hearts", when an annoyed Dr. Psycho shouts "God your stupidity is incredible!"
* DramaPreservingHandicap: If he was smart enough to use his shapeshifting properly for infiltration and combat, he'd be the most dangerous and versatile member of Harley's crew by an enormous margin. He isn't, so he's just useful but unreliable.
* DumbIsGood: He's a genuine NiceGuy who's both the least intelligent and least actively murderous member of Harley's team, to the point where he has only ever been seen using violence in defense of himself or the rest of the crew.
* EffeminateVoice: He uses a campy voice when he transforms into a woman to interpret female "roles".
* TheFace: He's the uh, most, uh, '[[LargeHam flamboyant]]' person in the group. At the same time, he ''is'' fairly social and cultured, having introduced King Shark to the group.
* ForgotAboutHisPowers: Frequently tends to forget about his many many abilities, including...
* IronButtmonkey: Because his clay body renders him largely invulnerable to serious harm, he's been on the receiving end of amusing injuries. Maxie Zeus beats him up, he loses his arm and has to spend most of the episode trying to get it back, and Aquaman beheads him for trying to pose as Superman.
* HiddenDepths: He's not that good of an actor, but he turns out to be quite a good singer.
* LargeHam: As a thespian, he seems incapable of giving a subtle performance. This can actually work in his favor if he impersonates someone who's just as hammy as himself; in "L.O.D.R.SV.P." his disguise as Aquaman is entirely believable and manages to fool two Atlantean guards.
* MasterActor: He thinks he's an amazing actor who can fool anyone with his performances. While his shapeshifting does help with that, he's usually too much of a ham to be taken seriously.
* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Clayface is kinda bad at villainy in this series, and is only useful as an actor/distraction, and even then it rarely works.
* MorphicResonance: When infiltrating the Iceberg Lounge, his waiter character "Francois" has the same ghastly teeth as he does, a rare slip for a normally talented shapeshifter. [[RuleOfFunny It would've gained more notice if Penguin was the kind of guy to actually pay attention to the help, or if the rest of the crew weren't in even worse disguises.]]
* MostDefinitelyNotAVillain: Tends to introduce himself as "it is I, [current identity]!" and will often drop into his disguises' backstories at a drop of a hat.
* MrImagination: Whenever he transforms, he makes up with an elaborated backstory and profile for the character he's playing, to the annoyance of his teammates and whoever he's distracting at the moment.
* NiceGuy: He's an annoying loudmouth, but he's polite, friendly, kind-hearted, and generally not villainous at all outside of his choice of employers. He and King Shark even agree when Batgirl states they are more [[AntiHero anti heroes]] than villains.
* NoodleIncident: He apparently had a bad review of his acting in the past which was worse than literally getting his head sliced off for it.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: He tends to lose his grip on whatever fake voice he's using whenever he gets the chance to talk about his characters' backstories.
* PullingThemselvesTogether: He can call back any parts of him that get cut off or separated, as long as he can see them and they aren't blocked by something.
* RunningGag: Every time he transforms, he sprays clay in every direction.
* ShapeshiftingSeducer: He suggests a plan to seduce the mayor by transforming himself into a woman, and cases Kord Industries by transforming into a woman and seducing a member of the staff.
* SmallNameBigEgo: He thinks he's a great actor, but he's anything but.
* TechnicallyNakedShapeshifter: The only clothes he ever wears are part of his transformations.
* ThoseTwoGuys: His dynamic with King Shark, which gets even more pronounced after [[spoiler:Doctor Psycho splits from the crew.]] His bombastic personality is often contrasted with King Shark's more down-to-earth demeanor.
* TookALevelInBadass: He's been far more helpful to the group in Season 2. It's stated that the plan to save the frozen Harley from Penguin was his idea, and when invading Riddle U, he used his disguise work to immediately take suspicion off Harley and Ivy. This extends to combat, as he's much more active in fights than he was in Season 1.
* TrulySingleParent: After one of his limbs cut off, it gains sentience and calls Clayface "Dad".
* UnskilledButStrong: On multiple levels. He's not much of a fighter and not much of an actor, but he's got a superpower that's incredibly useful for both of those jobs. Everything he does ends up as a tug of war between his ineptitude and his massive natural advantages.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: He can take the form of humans of either sex and animals.
* WickedCultured: For a given meaning of ''wicked'', at least. Say what you will about his abilities as an actor, he ''is'' knowledgeable about Shakespeare (what with being a thespian) and he ''can'' whip up fairly complicated stories at a moment's notice.
* WillfullyWeak: He deliberately chooses to be infiltrator/spy for the Quinn Crew than use his powers to his full potential. [[spoiler:When Doctor Psycho starts controlling his mind, Clayface is able to change size and become a force to be reckoned with.]]

[[folder:King Shark]]
!!King Shark (Nanaue)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/king_shark_1.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:"Is that a shark joke? If so, it's very funny."]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Ron Funches
A happy, easily excited, but ''very'' bloodthirsty shark man.
----
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: When Harley complained that she couldn't "get a bite" on her website profile, it seems like DudeNotFunny is about to apply when he very seriously asks if that was supposed to be a shark joke. Then he bursts out laughing while saying it was a good one.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: He's a lot more cute and less scary-looking than his comic book counterpart.
* AdaptationalIntelligence: He's an UnskilledButStrong BoisterousBruiser in the comics. Here, he's a competent computer hacker.
* AffablyEvil: He acts more like an excitable ManChild most of the time than a monstrous shark. His voice actor flat-out describes him as a great person in everything except ethics.
* ArrangedMarriage: His father, a king, forces him into a political marriage to keep two shark kingdoms from going to war. Neither he nor his wife-to-be are especially interested, but this ends up working to their advantage when they both realise they can just make it an open relationship and live their lives almost entirely separately from each other.
* BadassBoast:
** After it's revealed that the Queen of Fable's wolf was killed:
-->'''Clayface:''' How did you manage to hollow out the innards of that beast?
-->'''King Shark:''' Well, a lot of people ask me who would win between a wolf and a shark. (Spits out bone) It's a shark.
* BenevolentBoss: Zig-zagged. He became boss of the prison when he was briefly incarcerated. He utilized his appearance with some added physical threats to make the other inmates comply with his demands, but also maintains that he doesn’t want to harm his underlings, since he "Like[s] being cool boss".
* BerserkButton: Doesn't appreciate the term "fish" to describe new prisoners.
-->'''King Shark:''' Now fellas, look, I know it's all in fun but ''[[SuddenlyShouting WHAT THE FUCK DID I TELL YOU ABOUT THAT WORD?!]]''\\
'''Prisoner 1:''' Oh, yeah. Sorry King.\\
'''Prisoner 2:''' Yeah, sorry about that.\\
'''King Shark:''' Aw, they're learning. Baby steps, right Harley? '''''[[SuddenlyShouting I WILL KILL EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU WITH MY BARE HANDS IF I HAVE TO!!!]]'''''
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Normally, he's a nice, geeky, humanoid shark monster. Let him smell blood and you lose the 'nice' and 'geeky' parts.
* {{Bloodlust}}: He's normally meek and polite, but if he smells even a drop of blood he turns into a killing machine. Normally he uses smelling salts to avoid the issue, but they don't work so well in the water.
* CainAndAbel: He killed his brother when he accidentally cut his knee in a fight, which triggered King's bloodlust and drove him into a murderous frenzy. King is guilt-ridden for doing this and it explains his discomfort with blood.
* CharacterDevelopment: In a bizarre fashion, King Shark gets increasingly more comfortable with killing people as the series goes on, to the point his murderous personality shift upon smelling blood mostly disappears.
* CuteAndPsycho: He's an adorably nice computer geek until he smells blood or someone uses "fish" as an insult. He then turns into a murderous monster and you remember he's a dangerous villain. Even without anyone pressing his {{Berserk Button}}s, he'll still bite the head off of anyone in his way.
* CuteGiant: He is a giant SharkMan who is ironically enough, quite cute, especially with his friendly demeanor.
* DoubleMeaning: King Shark says he can't handle blood at the idea of being the shark in their shark tank. It is later revealed that the smell of blood actually makes him go feral with {{Bloodlust}} and causes him to actually try to kill Robin when he nosebleeds into the tank. Doctor Psycho and Clayface admit that they both thought King Shark meant he was AfraidOfBlood.
* TheEngineer: Besides being a stellar hacker, he can build and modify vehicles and equipment, such as turning a regular car into a death car with a gatling gun.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** Is disturbed by Harley's declaration she's going to murder Robin, a[[note]] granted, ''incredibly'' annoying[[/note]] child.
--->'''Ivy:''' If you do it, you validate what everyone's saying, that Robin's your nemesis.\\
'''Shark:''' ''Also'' you'd be a child killer, which ''some'' may argue is worse.
** He drops his typical LargeHam demeanor after watching Clayface WaterfallPuke out clay that is then reabsorbed into his body.
--->'''Shark''': I do not understand how you live with yourself.
** He also was very uncomfortable with the idea of being the ThreateningShark circling around Robin and had to be told repeatedly that they weren't asking him to eat him. Of course, getting a whiff of Robin's blood via a bleeding nose caused him to lose all restraint, but his reaction to blood was one of the reasons why he was against doing the act in the first place.
*** He also seemed reluctant to play a negative stereotype of sharks. When Clayface volunteers to be the shark and describes his interpretation, King Shark is convinced to do it himself.
** He only eats humans as part of business but tries to avoid women and children (until his accidental blood frenzy), and swore he wouldn't kill old people.
* EvilGenius: He was brought onto Harley's crew for his technical know-how.
* FaceOfAThug: By supervillain standards at least. He's actually a lot more happy-go-lucky and dorky than his appearance would suggest. That is, as long as he doesn't [[UnstoppableRage smell blood]].
* GeniusBruiser: He's a computer expert and knowledgeable about the failings of the prison industrial complex. He's also the most physically powerful member of Harley's crew.
* TheHeart: Ironically he's one of the nicest members of Harley's crew despite being a humanoid shark.
* ImAHumanitarian: He eats people, both for business and for pleasure. When he sees a diver in a fishtank at the Legion of Doom headquarters, he reacts like he's just seen a free buffet.
* LargeHam: Most of his dialogue is delivered AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS!
* MadeOfIron: Doesn't even flinch when Harley breaks a wooden bat on his face and he reacts with only a lowkey "Ow?"
* ManBitesMan: His go-to move in a fight is to take a bite out of whoever he needs gone.
* MyInstinctsAreShowing: If he gets a whiff of blood he'll become feral and attack the source to eat them. [[spoiler: He tries to eat Robin and Wonder Woman, and he tragically ate his own brother when he accidentally cut the latter's leg during a scrap.]]
* NiceGuy: Unlike Clayface and Psycho, he doesn't need Ivy to convince him to risk his life to help Harley in "Being Harley Quinn". He and Clayface also both agree with Batgirl when she states that she doesn't really see the crew as villains.
* PlayfulHacker: A competent hacker.
* ReallyRoyaltyReveal: "Bachelorette" reveals King Shark is the crown prince of the shark kingdom, but had run away to avoid an ArrangedMarriage.
* SharkMan: He's a large shark-human hybrid with rows of sharp teeth.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: He wears minuscule pince-nez glasses when playing the EvilGenius.
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: He can talk to fish, but doesn't speak Dolphin. He knows a little Porpoise, though, but...[[note]] he was cut off, but Porpoise likely is to Dolphin like Spanish is to French or Portuguese.[[/note]]
* ThreateningShark: He's a generally [[AffablyEvil surprisingly friendly]] SharkMan, but he is still a supervillain who has eaten people.
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Clayface, especially after [[spoiler:Doctor Psycho defects.]] Clayface's constant dramatics make King Shark look even more normal in comparison. It's also revealed that the two knew each other before they became part of Harley's crew, as Clayface is the one who contacted King Shark.
* TheToothHurts: The Season 1 finale has the Joker rip out many of King Shark's teeth and use them to make a necklace.
** He also ends up trying to bite into Wonder Woman's unbreakable bracelets when they fight in "Lover's Quarrel", which ends up breaking his front teeth.

[[folder:Frank the Plant]]
!!Frank the Plant
->'''Voiced by:''' JB Smoove
Ivy's giant talking venus fly trap.
----
* AndIMustScream: He claims to have spent ten years in a dog park before Ivy made him anthropomorphic, implying he was conscious the entire time.
* BizarreAlienBiology: In addition to flowering eyes growing out of stalks on either side of him, he's shown to have a tiny buttocks on the back of his "head", in spite of not having legs or the kind of digestive system that would need it.
* CanonForeigner: One of the few characters made specifically for the show.
* CommutingOnABus: Frank seems to vanish from the screen anytime the plot doesn't really need him, he was away from a few episodes in Season 1, and Season 2 does the same; meanwhile everyone else in Harley's crew is always seen, in all episodes.
* EveryoneHasStandards: As much of a jerk he is, he’s furious that the Joker killed Howie Mandel.
* {{Expy}}: To Audrey 2 of ''Film/LittleShopOfHorrors'' being a trash-talking man-eating plant with a penchant for insulting and lowering the self-esteem of those around him. He's also named after that film's director Creator/FrankOz.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Openly obnoxious and rude, completely apathetic to Harley's problems, and has no problem letting bad things happen just to see a reaction. But ironically, he's not as bad as a lot of the show's other villains. Despite him being a grade-A jerk most of the time, he's ultimately loyal to Ivy and does understand how much Harley means to her. In "Bensonhurst", he drives to pick up Harley first to help rescue Ivy when he finds out that she's in trouble. [[spoiler:He later joins Clayface and King Shark in helping Harley escape from Arkham, though she turns them down.]]
* JerkassHasAPoint:
** When Ivy claims [[IWorkAlone she works alone]], Frank points out her [[{{Hypocrite}} hypocrisy]] given her reliance on plants, not to mention using him as a servant.
** In response to Harley wanting to break into the facility holding Ivy, Frank states Harley will get shot and killed if she goes in alone.
* ManEatingPlant: He's a mutated venus flytrap and he's shown an appetite for humans. In the first episode, he ate a kid and his parents offscreen and [[VomitIndiscretionShot barfs up their skeletons]].
* NoSympathy: After Harley confides to him that she's realized the Joker doesn't actually love her, he responds with this:
-->'''Frank:''' Oh boo-''[[PrecisionFStrike fucking]]''-hoo! [[AndIMustScream I spent ten years in a dog park]]. Come talk to me when a St. Bernard shits on your face!
* PhraseCatcher: "Shut up, Frank!", which Ivy yells at him whenever he annoys her.
* TeamPet: A pet that speaks, snarks, and swear. [[spoiler:After Doctor Psycho quits the crew, Frank the Plant starts taking his place, attending Kite Man's bachelor party and accompanying Clayface and King Shark on their Arkham jailbreak.]]
* WouldHurtAChild: He has no issue eating a kid. [[CrossesTheLineTwice Or their parents.]]

[[caption-width-right:350:"I'm back baby!"]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JasonAlexander
Ivy's grouchy landlord who also happens to be a cyborg.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: He's far more skilled and versatile than his comics counterpart, being able to singlehandedly take down numerous goons and even ''transform into a sedan.''
* AlterKocker: Much like his comics incarnation, though he avoids the YiddishAsASecondLanguage.
* BrainUploading: His consciousness is stored in his mechanical eye, and can be accessed by plugging a phone jack into a TV. [[spoiler:After his HeroicSacrifice, he uses this to upgrade to a stand mixer so he can help Kite Man finish the mind control blocker to fight against Dr. Psycho.]]
* {{Cyborg}}: He's got a bionic arm and leg, though the latter is superfluous since he's in a wheelchair.
* DisposingOfABody: His main job back when he was a CIA agent was to be a "go-to cleaner" whenever a mess happened and they needed someone to get rid of the corpses.
* EvilFeelsGood: Wishes to join Harley's crew and get back into villainy, since nearly burning them made him feel alive again.
* FamousLastWords: [[spoiler: I REGRET [[BaitAndSwitch LOTS OF THINGS!]]]]
* GrumpyOldMan: He's an elderly man in a perpetually foul mood.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Sy blows himself up to allow Harley, Gordon, and The Joker to escape from Dr. Psycho.]]
* IKnowAGuy: He has connections to such villains as Black Mamba and Henry Kissinger.
* {{Irony}}: The disabled CIA spook gets his car towed for parking in a handicap spot because he doesn't want to register with the government.
* ItsAllMyFault: He blamed himself for his sister Mirielle being turned into an octopus monster because one of her hybrid mutation experiments WentHorriblyWrong when she was trying to create the octopus-monkey he asked her to make.
* JewishComplaining: Constantly complains about Ivy's guests.
* NobleDemon: A GrumpyOldMan and war criminal though he may be, he's nothing but helpful to Harley's crew once he joins. [[spoiler:He even performs a HeroicSacrifice to help Harley, Gordon, and The Joker escape from Dr. Pscyho.]]
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:Via BrainUploading. As it turns out, his consciousness is stored in his cybernetic eye, which allows him to be revived as a stand mixer.]]
* PainfulTransformation: His transformation into a sedan is shown to be very bloody and very painful. Changing back is even more painful.
* PunnyName: '''Sy Borg'''man is a man with robotic parts. He is literally a cyborg.
* RacistGrandpa: He's implied to have some very un-PC views. It's treated like FantasticRacism when he mistakes King Shark for a pet.
* RedScare: One of his rules is "No commies."
* RetiredBadass: He's a retired CIA fixer who was legendary (not always in positive ways) for his ability to make even the biggest, messiest problems disappear.
* RetiredMonster: Again, CIA fixer during the Cold War. Superman explicitly calls him a war criminal, and he's both open and quite unrepentant about the monstrous things he used to be involved in.
** He gets Vietnam flashbacks in the first episode of Season 2, which are implied to be ''enjoyable'' to him.
* ScatterbrainedSenior: He's a little out there; when King Shark calls him xenophobic, Sy apparently doesn't recognize the word and mistakes it for a reference to ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess''.
* ScrewPolitenessImASenior: He's quite old and not terribly concerned with politeness.
* SeniorSleepCycle: He falls asleep randomly throughout ''Harley Quinn Highway''.
* ShoePhone: He has a phone built into his bionic leg. In his old age, however, he complains that the buttons are hard to read.
* SixthRanger: He doesn't formally join the crew until near the end of Season 1.
* SuperWheelchair: His wheelchair is equipped with all sorts of gadgets. Guns, a backhoe, a helicopter. The latter would be more impressive if it didn't have trouble lifting more than one person. And if he remembered to keep the diesel topped off.
* SupportPartyMember: For most of season one. After joining Harley's crew, he only goes with them on one mission (to steal a sarcophagus) and doesn't even join them in the Legion of Doom. Harley outright states at one point that he was never really part of the crew. This gets averted later on when he helps them save Ivy.
* TokenEvilTeammate: As a retired war criminal and a CIA agent during the Cold War, he's been involved in more serious, professional evil than most of the gang, and he carries the attitude over. They recruit him after he almost kills them all.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: He has implants that allow him to turn into a sedan decked out with weaponry. The exact process of doing so however... [[BodyHorror isn't pretty]].

-->'''-- Harley'''
A RagtagBunchOfMisfits {{Supervillain}}s Harley recruits initially in an attempt to pull enough jobs to get herself into the Legion of Doom.
----
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: All of them have issues with being accepted in the villain community. [[SidekickGlassCeiling Harley is dismissed as the Joker's girlfriend]], [[StrawMisogynist Doctor Psycho is a pariah for his open misogyny]], [[TheFriendNobodyLikes Clayface annoys others with his overly dramatic ways]], and [[HiddenDepths King Shark is a skilled hacker, yet most people who hire him only care that he's a]] SharkMan. [[OnlySaneWoman The only exception is Ivy]], [[LonersAreFreaks who voluntarily keeps herself isolated from most others.]]
* DeadlyDoctor: Dr Psycho, along with Harley and Ivy who both have doctorates in psychology and botany.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The members of the team all care for each other, and most have a loved one outside the team.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Despite their willingness to commit various crimes, Queen of Fables' [[MurderIsTheBestSolution tendency to murder anything in her way]] disturbs all of them.
** Later, all of them bar [[TokenEvilTeammate Psycho]] have reservations about working with [[spoiler: Darkseid]].
* FiveManBand:
** TheLeader: Harley, has the main goal of joining the Legion of Doom. [[spoiler:When she is temporarily put on ice, the crew loses its energy.]]
** TheLancer: Ivy, cool and aloof, serves as the {{Foil}} to the passionate and unpredictable Harley.
** TheSmartGuy: Dr.Psycho is well versed in all things mental, and even taught Evil 101 at Boston College.
** TheBigGuy: King Shark is normally a GentleGiant ([[GeniusBruiser and a surprisingly talented hacker]]), but can turn into TheBerserker when in Arkham or smells blood.
** TheHeart: Clayface is the most flamboyant of the crew, and serves the group best with his disguises rather than combat prowess.
* ALighterShadeOfBlack:
** Aside from Doctor Psycho, they're all criminals but they are certainly the lesser of two evils when compared the likes of the Joker, the Queen of Fables, and later the Injustice League. Doctor Psycho was disgraced for his misogyny and is only with them to improve his public image. [[spoiler: When Harley doesn't follow through with her alliegence to Darkseid, he betrays them for being too weak.]]
** This is [[LampshadedTrope Lampshaded]] by Batgirl, who sees them more as [[AntiHero Antiheroes]] on account of having spent pretty much the entire second season and the second half of season 1 [[EvilVersusEvil exclusively fighting other supervillains]].
* LovableRogue: For the most part, they act like eccentric, but still [[AffablyEvil affable]] criminals, especially Ivy, Clayface and King Shark, who are perfectly fine with stealing and murder, but have some [[EvenEvilHasStandards lines they don't like to cross]]. The NaiveNewcomer superhero Batgirl actually can't think of them as bad guys even though [[CardCarryingVillain they say otherwise]].
* NeverHurtAnInnocent: They're all ruthless murderers, [[EvenEvilHasStandards but they don't approve of the Queen of Fables murdering an entire family of innocent people.]]
* NominalHero: As of Season 2 they're the only people in any position to deal with the Injustice League. Their motivations are still entirely self-serving and villainous, but based on how the Injustice League is running the city it's pretty clear that them winning would be the far better outcome for the people of Gotham.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: A villainous version. They're made up of a clown, a misanthropic EcoTerrorist, a misogynistic DepravedDwarf, an aspiring actor made out of clay, a SharkMan hacker, and an elderly Jewish cyborg war criminal.
* TrueCompanions: [[WeAREStrugglingTogether Disagreements aside]], they ''will'' come to each other's aid whenever possible.
* TwoGirlsToATeam: Harley and Ivy are the only women on the team. However there's more focus on them than the rest of the crew.
* UnscrupulousHero: When they target other villains, they are mostly doing it out of revenge than because the villain in question is a mass-murdering psychopath. [[spoiler: Harley joins Darkseid for a while after having an affair with Poison Ivy but backs out after realising that she was insincere about the allegiance and only doing this to deny and move on from the affair.]]
* VillainProtagonist: The crew basically plays hopscotch between this and AntiHero.
* VillainousFriendship: They enjoy doing crime together and form a true bond of friendship that is rare even among the villains of the series.
* VillainousUnderdog: They are treated as C-list villains and aren't respected in the criminal underworld. The series is about the gang rising through the ranks to become truly respected villains.
* YouCouldHaveUsedYourPowersForGood: Knowing that her father will go on an all out war with Harley's gang, Batgirl cycled her way to their base and tell them to reconsider their actions, even using this trope by saying that for all of their attempt to rule Gotham as a criminal group, they did a good job in fighting against the Injustice League members or at least keeping their presence on low profile. While King Shark and Clayface do take account of Batgirl's words, Harley being [[GloryHound Harley]], [[RedemptionRejection things go right as you expected]].

->''"Harley, I love you in... *sigh*... in a very odd, hard-to-articulate way. And if you just stopped sabotaging yourself... the world would be yours."''
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LakeBell
Harley's BestFriend, an EcoTerrorist with [[PlantPerson a plant physiology]] that grants her a HealingFactor, drug and poison immunity, and the ability to mutate and control other plants.
----
* AccidentalAdultery: In "Theres No Place To Go But Down", [[spoiler:Ivy unintentionally cheated on Kite Man after she and Harley kissed. Much more seriously, they actually have sex whilst intoxicated in "Bachelorette".]]
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: During the first few episodes Harley regularly pitches Ivy a plan she's been workshopping about blackmailing Gotham City with a nuke to have a highway named after her. Ivy is initially unimpressed by the idea, but when Harley actually pulls it off Ivy ends up admitting to her own bemusement that it was actually worth it.
* AdaptationNameChange: In the comics her middle name is "Lillian", but here it's "Gertrude".
* AdaptationalBadass: In a way. While Ivy in almost all adaptations is a badass on some level, this version of Ivy, in both power and intelligence, is far and away the most competent character in the show. She's so badass in fact that Lex Luthor wanted her to join the Legion of Doom, as revealed in "L.O.D.R.S.V.P.", but she continually shot down his ''many'' requests.
** [[spoiler:Her HealingFactor is also significantly more powerful than in most adaptations, enough to revive her after being speared through the heart by the Joker]].
** [[spoiler: She's so competent that she actually manages to fend off ''Superman'', something that 90% of the entire DC Universe struggles to do.]]
* AdaptationalModesty: Usually known for skimpy outfits, Ivy in this series contrasts Harley's style with a practical and modest, but far from unattractive wardrobe. She also swaps her usual breathy, seductive tones for a flatter, more cynical, DeadpanSnarker affect. The seductress aspect of her character is heavily downplayed in favor of her EcoTerrorist side. In the last few episodes of Season 1 she does end up in skimpy clothes due to ClothingDamage, but that's not intentional on her part.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Ivy is a ''far'' more pleasant character than in the comics, being depicted as Harley's even-tempered and supportive best friend who happens to be an eco-terrorist. Her misanthropy is toned down greatly, and in her own words she still hates other people but she can tolerate being around them. This is lampshaded by Ivy addressing that Harley's diagnosis of her (a misanthrope with abandonment issues who bonds with plants to avoid bonding with humans) was one she took to heart, and she's making the effort to be a more functional person.
* AffectionateNickname: Harley calls her "Ive". This has at least once led to a mistake involving the contraction of "I have".
* AlienBlood: Her blood is green. Also her tears seem to be black.
* AloofAlly: Ivy may constantly proclaim that [[IWorkAlone she wants to work alone]] and not join Harley's crew, but she's been by the girl's side since the beginning, and she ends up becoming a reserve member, helping them out on occasion when they really need it.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Has light green skin.
* ApologeticAttacker: In "Devil's Snare", she apologizes as she tears mutated trees apart.
* BackFromTheDead: In "The Final Joke" [[spoiler:Ivy's HealingFactor, with maybe a bit of ThePowerOfFriendship from Harley, revives her after being speared through the heart in the previous episode.]]
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Ivy and Harley's friendship here is based on how Harley was able to give her genuine help for her psychological issues when Ivy had pretty much been written off as a lost cause by everyone else. Harley was also the first person who ever gave her a gift, which motivated Ivy to open up to her.
* BestFriend: She's Harley's most loyal, caring and helpful friend.
* BrokenBird: She's jaded and cynical, being convinced that almost the entire human race is trash after a very lonely childhood where she was abused and neglected by her parents. Harley and a few more are the only people she brings herself to care about, but she still has a secret fear of being betrayed.
* CardCarryingVillain: Averted, uniquely among the criminals in this show. Unlike Harley and the various supervillains in the Legion of Doom, who revel in being considered evil and villainous, Ivy insists that there's nothing "evil" about her acts of eco-terrorism.
* TheCaretaker: To her loony best friend Harley. Poison Ivy is the reason why Harley could finally realize that the Joker doesn't love her and get out of that abusive relationship for good. After that, Poison Ivy continues to watch out for Harley and save her from the messes she keeps getting into.
* CaringGardener: Her apartment is full of plants that she calls her "babies". When she's locked up in Arkham and later briefly trapped inside Harley's mind, Ivy's main concern is that there's no one to take care of her plants in her place.
* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: She never stopped trying to talk sense into Harley about her being a victim of DomesticAbuse by the Joker and arranges a whole set up with the Riddler just so she can get into Harley's head that Joker doesn't love her. Afterwards, Ivy tries talking Harley out of her stupid attempts at becoming a better villainess. Not that Harley listens to her, which Harley herself even lampshades by saying she enjoys not-listening to Ivy's advice more than anyone else's. When Ivy has to rescue Harley from being beaten by Batman after a prank involving a giant shark nearly gets Robin killed, Ivy complains that her entire existence appears to revolve around cleaning up her loony best friend's messes.
* ColorMotif: Keeping with her plant image, everything she wears (including her underwear) is green, except for her shoes and shirt. Green accessories she has include a bikini, a sun hat, a trenchcoat, sunglasses, and a beanie.
* CombatStilettos: She wears little black high-heeled pumps as part of her main outfit.
* TheConscience: She's like the voice of reason Harley utterly lacks. Whenever Harley does something too risky or amoral, Ivy is the one who tries and talks some sense into her. The effect varies depending on how much Harley is willing to listen to Ivy.
* CoolBigSis: She's way more rational than Harley and watches out for her like if she was her troublemaker little sister.
* CovertPervert: Quickley asked Giganta's boyfriend to call her when she sees him perform cunnilingus on ice-cream.
* CynicismCatalyst: [[spoiler: Ivy admits she lost her faith in humanity the first time her father hit her.]]
* DamselOutOfDistress: In "Harley Quinn Highway", she manages to kill a number of guards holding her despite being in a place with no plants at all, though her escape attempt still fails.
* DeadpanSnarker: You can count the number of times she doesn't speak in an incredibly dry tone on one hand.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: From the first episode, Ivy is set up as the other protagonist of the show next to Harley, being Harley's BestFriend and {{Foil}} who is the main reason Harley gains the determination to get out of her abusive relationship with the Joker. When Ivy isn't helping out Harley, she's usually the center of the episode's subplot.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: At the end of "Devil's Snare", [[spoiler:Ivy is stabbed through the chest by the Joker and bleeds to death in Harley's arms. Thankfully, it turns out not to be permanent.]]
* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:She's fatally impaled in ''Devil's Snare'', but it's revealed an episode later that her HealingFactor is so strong that even having her heart destroyed is a temporary setback.]]
* TheDragon: Even though she keeps insisting she's not joining Harley's crew, she's Harley's most loyal ally and confidant who keeps giving advice and helping out her BestFriend. She also tries to be Harley's voice of reason, but it almost never works.
* EcoTerrorist: Unlike other criminals, Poison Ivy doesn't care about stealing or spreading chaos. She only wants to protect the natural environment, even if that means destroying polluting factories and killing people with their own chemicals. Ivy repeatedly complains about how people treat her like a supervillain because of this.
* EmbarrassingMiddleName: When Kite Man proposes to her, he reveals that her middle name is Gertrude, to her clear discomfort.
* EtTuBrute: As revealed in ''Harley Quinn Highway'', her greatest fear is actually Harley, specifically the fear of putting trust in someone only to be betrayed. She ends up taking it incredibly personally when Harley [[PoorCommunicationKills seemingly]] breaks her promise to help her destroy Plantwide Pavers in favor of being with the Joker. [[spoiler:Her fear of Harley hurting her again is why she is against the idea of them being in a relationship, despite her also having repressed feelings for her.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** She's annoyed when she finds out Frank ate a kid she hired to watch her plants while she was gone, [[PragmaticVillainy albeit because his parents would be looking for him]]. When she finds out Frank ate the kid's parents as well, she's still not pleased.
** In the second episode, when Kite Man uses her lethal pheromones on the kids at Penguin's party, she's pissed at him and forces him to help her get an antidote for them. She's also genuinely upset when the Joker kills Howie Mandel.
** When she meets Kite Man's AbusiveParents whilst dating him, she is visibly discomforted by just how badly they treat him, ultimately calling them out on his behalf. Of course, since she herself had AbusiveParents, this makes perfect sense.
** ''Inner (Para) Demons'' subverts this. [[spoiler:Although she ultimately convinces Harley not to go through with taking Darkseid’s offer of his Para-Demons she’s not actually concerned with the genocide they cause. She simply states Harley is doing it for no purpose.]]
* EveryoneHasStandards Ivy cares heavily about the environment, but even she thinks that paper straws are stupid.
* EvilRedhead: She has red hair and while she's nice to Harley, Ivy is still a misanthropic EcoTerrorist who openly doesn't give a fuck about any human being but Harley.
* FatalFlaw: Her inability to be honest with herself drives much of the plot of Season 2's latter half. As she puts it, [[spoiler:she hurt alot of people delaying the inevitable.]]
* {{Foil}}: Her entire situation throughout Season 1 is contrasted with Harley. Harley wants to build a team, but Ivy funny enough treats them more like a family, whereas Harley treats them like a means to an end. Harley is highly ambitious, but lacks all forms of self-awareness, which leads to disaster. Ivy has no real ambition other than helping her best friend and she fully knows what she's about. Harley is obsessed with an utter nutjob who wants nothing to do with her and treats her like shit. Ivy dates a guy who is extremely goofy, but ultimately turns out to be great (and healthy) relationship-material.
* ForgivenButNotForgotten: [[spoiler:Kite Man manages to forgive Ivy for having an affair with Harley while they were engaged, but he has not forgotten it.]]
* FreudianExcuse: Poison Ivy didn't always hate humanity. Her parents' abuse and neglect along with a life with no friends until Harley came along made her into the misanthropic EcoTerrorist she's today.
* FriendVersusLover: A really complicated example in that the Joker is technically Harley's ex, but Ivy's main issue with Harley is that she constantly allows herself to be goaded by him despite him not being worth it, rather than really appreciating the friendship she has with Ivy.
** Season 2 flips this around, with Ivy having choosing between her lover (Kite Man) and her best friend (Harley). [[spoiler:[[RelationshipUpgrade The season ends with Harley becoming Ivy's lover after Kite Man breaks off their engagement and Ivy realizes that she only went along with the wedding for negative reasons]].]]
* FriendlessBackground: She doesn't have anyone she can call a friend except for Harley. One of her most traumatic childhood memories is a [[OnePersonBirthdayParty birthday party with no friends to celebrate it]].
** Season 2 reveals, besides Harley, the only other friend Pamela has is Jennifer, who she's known since ''kindergarten'', but also seems to have loads of personal issues herself.
* GiveGeeksAChance: She becomes attracted to Kite Man, a goofy supervillain loser regarded as a joke by everyone. Ivy is embarrassed to be seen in public with him, but she ultimately admits she does want to date him.
* GreenThumb: If there is any plant life in her presence, she can control it and turn it into huge minions.
* HatesTheirParent: One of her deepest fears is her cold-hearted and unloving father. [[spoiler:She later admits her father beating her was the reason why she became a misanthrope.]] As Harley says, both of them have daddy issues.
* HealingFactor: Her plant physiology allows her to heal from all manner of wounds and pathogens [[spoiler:even having her heart destroyed only puts her out of commission temporarily.]]
* HellbentForLeather: Wears a short dark green leather jacket. She also notes in "Devil's Snare" it's her favorite top.
* HiddenDepths: You'd be surprised to know that Ivy is a NASCAR fan.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Her villainy is rooted in environmentalism, and she advises people not to waste water in ''Finding Mr. Right''. But Wonder Woman's Lasso reveals that she takes long showers and doesn't like paper straws (though these could be [[JustifiedTrope justified by her plant-based physiology for the former and paper being made of trees in the latter.]])
* IDontWantToRuinOurFriendship: [[spoiler:Harley is Ivy's best friend and the most important person in her life, but unlike with Kite Man, Ivy can't trust Harley won't do something that could break her heart or ruin their relationship. After Harley went back to the Joker and let Ivy down so many times, Ivy can ''barely'' allow herself to keep Harley as a friend, so becoming lovers with her is too much of a risk for Ivy to take with all the emotional baggage she already has. After Kite Man spells it out for Ivy that her heart really belongs to Harley in "The Runaway Bridesmaid" and breaks off their engagement, she allows herself to reciprocate Harley's feelings.]]
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:The Joker harpoons her in "Devil's Snare".]]
* IncidentalVillain: She has little interest in being an out-and-out supervillain, and instead maintains a mostly normal life with an apartment and real life problems and concerns, only very occasionally going on sprees of eco-terrorism against targets she thinks deserve breaking her normal routine.
* InsistentTerminology: She refuses to be called a villain and claims she is an eco-terrorist, consistently saying that she doesn't think it is villainous for someone to work hard in protecting nature.
* InLoveWithLove: Her relationship with Kite Man has shades of this. Ivy believes she loves him back and agrees to marry him even though she's not entirely sure she's ready for that sort of commitment because he's one of the most decent and caring people she knows. However, she seems more attracted to the idea of getting married and staying in a "safe" relationship rather than necessarily to Kite Man himself. [[spoiler:Her hesitation becomes obvious to where Kite-Man picks up on it and after the wedding is ruined, he reaches his own breaking point and ends the relationship for both their own good.]]
* {{Irony}}: Poison Ivy's misanthropy was born out of being hurt by the people supposedly closest to her, even Harley pushes it because of her former loyal to the Joker. And yet, her own emotional problems lead her to hurt the two people closest in her current life: Harley and Kite-Man.
* IWorkAlone: Ivy insists this constantly refusing offers from the Legion of Doom and denying that she's part of Harley's crew. That said, she'll still join Harley's heists if asked.
* JustFriends: [[spoiler:Harley and Ivy have been best friends for years, but it's not until after they share a passionate kiss during their escape from Bane's pit that they realize their feelings for each other are romantic. This only makes things awkward between them because Ivy refuses to acknowledge she's in love with Harley and Harley is forced to suppress her feelings for Ivy to not get in the way of Ivy's engagement to Kite Man. After they wind up having sex following a rager in "Bachelorette", Harley finally confesses to Ivy, only for Ivy to turn her down in favor of going through with marrying Kite Man, believing her and Harley are incapable of having a lasting romantic relationship. However, in "The Runaway Bridesmaid", Kite Man realizes that Ivy truly has stronger feelings for Harley than she has for him and breaks off their engagement, leading Ivy to allow herself to [[RelationshipUpgrade reciprocate Harley's feelings]].]]
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:Killing Becca, Condiment King's fiancee. Unlike Condiment King himself, she never did anything to Ivy or Kite Man.]] It comes off as a needlessly mean and cuel act of villainy.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Ivy is usually accompanied by mystical melody when she uses her powers.
* LessEmbarrassingTerm: She dislikes being called a supervillain, preferring "ecoterrorist."
* LonelyRichKid: Her parents were wealthy, but they never gave her any love or attention. She also never made human friends, so her only companion was a ficus plant [[spoiler:until her father cruelly threw it away]].
* MessianicArchetype: [[spoiler:After being resurrected in "The Final Joke", she rises into the air with her arms out, her body forming a cross shape.]]
* MessyHair: In the flashback of "All the Best Inmates Have Daddy Issues," it looks like Ivy didn't bother to comb her hair to show how much of a disaster she was until she and Harley became friends.
* MisanthropeSupreme: Was formerly this before her therapy sessions with Harley. She doesn't quite ''like'' people in the present, but she can hold conversations with them without wanting to vomit, as she puts it.
** It's telling that the only friend of pre-Poison-Ivy Pamela Isley's who joins her bachelorette trip is Jennifer... from kindergarten.
* MistakenForPregnant: In Episode 4, Harley returns to Poison Ivy's apartment seeing a banner that says "It's a boy!" and baby stuff all over the place, causing her to think she's pregnant and having a baby shower. She rubs Ivy's belly and congratulates her, but Ivy tells her she's not pregnant and doesn't know why the stuff is there. It turns out to be a prank set up by the Joker mocking Harley for having Robin, a preteen boy, as an arch nemesis.
* MoralityChain: Ivy's influence keeps Harley from going off the deep end. When she and Harley are avoiding each other after [[spoiler: their awkward kiss]], [[TokenEvilTeammate Psycho]] talks Harley into [[spoiler: [[DealWithTheDevil pledging herself to Darkseid]] for a Parademon army]]. Harley gets cold feet and backs out of it as soon as Ivy shows up and questions whether she really wants to go through with it.
* MundaneUtility: Controlling plant life is very useful not just for fighting, but also for cleaning her apartment.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: PlayedForLaughs in "Devil's Snare". Ivy is forced to fight mutated trees in order to protect the crew. When she splits one of the trees in half and sees its age, she's horrified at realizing she just killed a kid.
** A bit more serious, but she's quite ashamed of how she hurt Kite-Man in her infedelity with him [[spoiler: and she's reduced to tears when he ends the relationship.]]
* MythologyGag:
** Ivy's attire (green skin, foliage pants) resembles her portrayal in the ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries''.
** Ivy considers Harley's wish to surpass her ex-lover to be relatable. One of her origin stories has her in a toxic relationship with Jason Woodrue the Floronic Man, similar to Harley and the Joker.
* NatureLover: She cares more for the environment and natural life than most of humanity.
* NobleTopEnforcer: Ivy isn't into real villainy and only helps Harley in her schemes out of loyalty. She also steps in when Harley or someone in her team is at risk of going ''truly'' evil.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: She routinely gets right into Harley's personal space, which is especially notable since she's otherwise as standoffish as you'd expect from a clinical misanthrope with attachment issues. It's both a sign of how much she cares about her best friend, and a sign of just how much effort it takes to get Harley Quinn to listen to you more than half the time.
* NotGoodWithPeople: With the notable exceptions of Harley Quinn and Kite Man, Ivy vastly prefers to associate with plants than with other human beings.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Despite being the voice of reason in Harley's crew, Ivy has shown that she's not above indulging in some silly antics herself.
* OnlySaneWoman: She may have been an inmate at Arkham Asylum, but living with Harley and working with the likes of Kite Man, Penguin, Bane, and Clayface makes her look positively rational.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Because of her social insecurities and inexperience with stable relationships, Ivy unwittingly causes a long chain of miseries in the second half of Season 2 where she tries to rush into a wedding with Kite Man for the sake of finding security and trust, [[spoiler: despite not truly being in love with him but rather wants to be with Harley]]. Her constant denial to be honest with herself and others drags out the issues it creates, [[spoiler: leading to the wedding being ruined in a BallroomBlitz of supervillains versus Gordon's police raid, a fed-up Kite Man coldly calling off the wedding, and Ivy in tears with her and Harley trying to escape the GCPD.]]
* PowersDoTheFighting: As Frank bluntly lampshades, Ivy uses her plants to do almost everything for her, including fighting her battles. Eventually averted, as she's shown to be able to fight (dirty), and use a handgun like a pro.
* PragmaticVillainy: She hired a kid to water her plants in her apartment while she was gone, except Frank ate him. She points out that his parents might be looking for him (to which Frank reveals he also ate them).
* PrimalScene: [[spoiler:When Ivy was a child, she accidentally caught her father having sex with a maid. However, what traumatized her the most was her father beating her senseless over it and then killing her first plant as additional salt to the wounds.]]
* RealisticDictionIsUnrealistic: Frequently {{averted}} in general, but Ivy in particular tends to avert this - Ivy often stumbles over her words, stammers and repeats herself.
* RedOniBlueOni: She's the level-headed and sardonic Blue Oni to Harley Quinn's noisy and uncontrollable Red Oni.
* RedHeadInGreen: As standard for Poison Ivy, her hair is red and her outfits are green.
* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: Harley is the person she's the most openly affectionate towards. On more than one occasion Ivy has said 'I love you' to Harley, to her face, all while looking shy and demure. [[spoiler:It becomes a hell of a lot more complicated after they share a passionate kiss following their escape from Bane's pit. Harley is more than willing to undergo a RelationshipUpgrade after realizing her feelings towards Ivy are romantic, but because she's already engaged to Kiteman and her own more complicated feelings towards Harley, Ivy wants them remain JustFriends. They upgrade to an OfficialCouple at the end of "The Runaway Bride" after Kite Man spells it out for Ivy that her true feelings are towards Harley.]]
* SarcasticDevotee: Ivy is Harley's most jaded and critical friend, but also the most loyal and protective one without any doubt.
* ShortRangeGuyLongRangeGuy: Has this dynamic with Harley Quinn, with Harley using her bat and acrobatics for close-range combat while Ivy uses her plant powers from a distance.
* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: To make her stand out as one of the main characters, Ivy has red hair and green eyes.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Ivy herself admits Kite Man isn't the type of guy she would usually date, but for some reason she can't help but to give him a chance. This must have something to do with the fact that despite being a sorry joke of a supervillain and a perverted goof, Kite Man is a very decent guy when you look past that. Ivy admires his laid-back and confident personality, considering him a way better man than any other male supervillain she knows. However, Harley thinks Ivy should look at other options instead of settling down for the first man who is nice to her. Though she does come around. [[spoiler: This is played a bit by the end since Ivy ends up with Harley, but only after Harley makes the effort to become a better person, putting Ivy's wants before hers along with working to be more reliable. Namely that while she and Kite-Man are both pretty decent people, the pre-established emotional investment Ivy has with Harley as friends ends up helping to make the relationship more appealing.]]
* StuffedIntoTheFridge: [[spoiler: In "Devil's Snare," the Joker cold-bloodedly murders Ivy to deprive Harley of the person who truly loves and cares for her the most. PlayedWith an episode later in that it really only puts Ivy out of commission temporarily due to her HealingFactor.]]
* SugarAndIcePersonality: She's cool, composed, and sarcastic as hell, but her best friend Harley and her boyfriend Kite Man bring out an incredibly sweet side in her.
* SurroundedByIdiots: You can tell Ivy really wants to use her plants to strangle the life out of the psychotic morons she works with.
* TalkingIsAFreeAction: Stops in the middle of a brawl to remind a TV audience that washing their recycling before putting it in the bin is unnecessary and wastes water.
* TokenGoodTeammate: The crew are all supervillains, but she's a WellIntentionedExtremist EcoTerrorist with a reasonably functional ideology behind her actions and a strong sense of social justice (again, by supervillain standards). When someone needs to be the resident conscience, it's usually her.
* UndyingLoyalty: Ivy is on Harley's side no matter what and has her friend's best interests in mind. She doesn't want to participate in Harley's schemes, but will always be there to bail her out when things go south.
* UptightLovesWild: Deconstructed. [[spoiler:The serious, cynical and sarcastic Ivy harbors repressed feelings for Harley, who is crazy, impulsive and uncontrollable. However, Ivy rejects Harley's love precisely because Harley is too unpredictable for Ivy to believe a relationship between them can last or Harley won't hurt her again. Ivy decides it's safer to marry Kite Man because he's steady. Despite this however, Kite Man comes to the realization during their wedding that, despite this, Ivy does truly love Harley more than him and breaks things off with her. Ivy comes to the realization that, regardless of her impulsive personality, [[DeconReconSwitch Harley still was willing to change for her sake]] and allows herself to finally reciprocate.]]
* TheVamp: While traditionally this, her dealings with Kite Man and a bunch of kids indicate that she is trying to avert this trope and make it on her own as a capable villainess.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: She identifies as an eco-terrorist who makes it very clear that she doesn't create chaos and mayhem ForTheEvulz, but rather for the noble cause of saving the planet.
* WhatTheHellHero: At the end of "A Seat at the Table", she finally runs out of patience at Harley's disconsideration of her friendship when she finds out Harley lied to her and stood her up to let herself be seduced and dumped by the Joker ''again''. Ivy is especially angry because that was like Harley wasting all of Ivy's efforts of getting Harley out of that vicious cycle of abuse.
* WickedCultured: Ivy's preferred alcohol is red wine, she reads books when relaxing, likes museums, and (during Season 1) took pride in having designer furniture (which, to her annoyance, Harley kept smashing).
* YouAreACreditToYourRace: While she's a self-admitted misanthrope, she honestly believes her best friend Harley is "the only human being who is worth a shit". She later extends this to Kite Man, finding his confidence attractive enough to give dating him a shot.

[[folder:Doctor Psycho]]
!!Doctor Psycho (Dr. Edgar Cizko)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dr_psycho_3.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:"I DON'T HATE WOMEN!!!"]]
->''"That really hurt, you cunt!"''
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TonyHale
A short, angry man with powerful telepathic and telekinetic abilities.
----
* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: The Cowled Critic describes him as "universally hated". Granted, the Cowled Critic is also his abused son, but he likely wouldn't have said it online if he expected much disagreement. [[spoiler:By the end of Season 2, the rest of crew want nothing to do with him either, and pass him over when they come to break Harley out of Arkham.]]
* AbusiveDad: He was one to his son Herman, locking him in the basement for days, killed anyone who showed Herman any sign of liking him, [[MurderArsonAndJaywalking refused to get him a WayneStation 4]], and named him [[EmbarrassingFirstName Herman]]. Psycho states he did this to give his son a good FreudianExcuse so that he could grow up to be a great supervillain.
* AdaptationalBadass: Most variants of Doctor Psycho are merely telepaths, here he is a powerful telepath and telekinetic that can go toe to toe with Wonder Woman in a fight.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: The comic version was a flat out SerialRapist and an open {{Sadist}} who had no redeeming features at all and would cross any lines without shame or remorse. This version, while still a misogynistic supervillain, is nowhere near as bad a person. He loves his son, showed sympathy to Sy and his sister and was genuinely touched by their story, was just as sad about [[spoiler:Ivy]]'s death as the others, and was genuinely horrified by the Queen of Fables' massacre of the Praxis family reunion. To put it in perspective, the comic version of Doctor Psycho once mind controlled a bunch of people into cannibalizing each other, got ''turned on'' from the experience, and then [[MindRape broadcast his own arousal back into the survivors' minds so they could experience it as if it were their own]]. That said, during the latter half of season 2, he goes through a major case of JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope, becoming far more murderous and more like his comic counterpart. By the end of season 2, he possesses almost no redeeming qualities at all.
* AlmightyJanitor: Although he was once a full supervillain and Legion of Doom member in his own right, upon Harley getting them back into the Legion of Doom he is considered a henchman - and is treated as such. Despite this, he is still a powerful telepath that can go toe-to-toe with Wonder Woman (or more specifically, he ''could'', but he's no longer allowed to fight heroines).
* ArcVillain: [[spoiler:Becomes the main antagonist of the second half of Season 2, picking up Harley's abandoned conquest of Gotham in hopes of becoming Darkseid's {{Dragon}}.]]
* BigBadDuumvirate: [[spoiler:In the second half of Season 2, after failing to convince Harley to use Darkseid's army to TakeOverTheWorld, he teams up with the Riddler to take control of the wayward Parademons and carry out his dream of ruling the world.]]
* TheBrute: The most powerful and, hilariously enough, the most diminutive guy on the crew.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: For all of season 1 and the first half of season 2, he is portrayed as a NobleBigot JerkWithAHeartOfGold who, despite being a misogynistic supervillain, has a moral code and many redeeming qualities, thus holding the moral ground along with the rest of the crew whenever they face other villains. Batgirl even states that she sees him and the rest of the crew more as [[AntiHero anti heroes]] than full fledged villains. The second half of season 2 strips him of all his redeeming traits apart from (presumably) his love for his son.
* ChronicVillainy: He's got a severe empathy deficiency that makes it difficult for him to tell when he's crossing the line from socially-acceptable evil to the unacceptable kind. As such, he tends to treat the crew as his prosthetic conscience. Come season 2, he begins to feel that his time with the crew has caused him to become progressively less villainous, leading him to try to return to villainy by attempting to convince Harley to TakeOverTheWorld. [[spoiler:He then splits from the crew after Harley gets cold feet]].
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: In the Season 1 finale, the Joker brutally tortures all of Harley's crew. And what torture did he prepare for Doctor Psycho? Have him be ForcedToWatch videos about feminism.
* TheCorrupter: Plays this the part towards Harley at the tail end of season 2, trying (and briefly succeeding) to talk her into pursuing higher level TakeOverTheWorld level supervillainy.
* CountryMatters: During a fight, he calls Wonder Woman the C-word on national television. Then, while apologizing for the incident on a talk show, [[AesopAmnesia he drops the C-bomb again]] when Giganta calls him out for his sexist behavior. Ivy remarks that [[EvenEvilHasStandards he's just become the least employable person on the planet]].
* CruellaToAnimals: In "Riddle U," he kills escaped zoo animals to make candles from their fat and hats from their fur.
* DeadpanSnarker: Like Poison Ivy, Psycho often makes sarcastic remarks at the stupidity he gets involved in because of his teammates.
* DepravedDwarf: A little person who's also a supervillain and misogynist.
* DoubleStandardRapeSciFi: Him brainwashing Giganta into loving him and having a son with him is treated less seriously than calling Wonder Woman the C-word.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In a battle with Wonder Woman, he uses a politically incorrect slur that shocks everyone, thus setting him up as a foul-tempered potty-mouth.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: PlayedWith. He cares about his son in his own way and thinks it's his responsibility as a supervillain father to raise him into an irredeemably evil person. He did this by abusing him to the extreme that could drive anyone insane.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** He's a raging misogynist, but he's a doctor. He treats his ability to fix people very seriously and is offended by Ivy's suspicion that he would do something nasty in Harley's brain.
** He's also just as horrified as the rest of Harley's crew when the Queen of Fables reveals her mass-murdering tendencies.
** He apparently refused to sell King Shark's fin to a Japanese chef... [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and resents Harley for not being there to tell him not to consider it.]]
** He's clearly as horrified and saddened by [[spoiler:Ivy]]'s death as the rest of the team.
* EvilFeelsGood: As a child, he got a big rush from watching a Ferris wheel collapse and kill everyone on board. It was his StartOfDarkness moment.
* EvilIsPetty: Broadcasts Harley and Ivy having sex to all of Gotham for no other reason than he was pissed for losing.
* EvilParentsWantGoodKids: Averted. Big time. The last thing he wanted for his son Herman was for him to grow up into a "happy and heroic" person. Therefore, he raised him in the worst way he could.
* FreudianExcuse: Parodied. When he was a kid, he always wanted to ride the Ferris wheel but he was too short and his mother told him to be patient and he'll big enough next time. As time goes on, he still hasn't grown big enough to ride the Ferris wheel. Then one day, the Ferris wheel collapses with people still on it and he felt satisfied watching all those people die and it was on that day he decided to hate women. [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse It makes no sense and even Darkseid isn't sure how those two things are supposed to connect]]
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: He's the only member of Harley's crew who nobody is fond of because he's such a misogynistic asshole. By the end of season 2 [[spoiler:he's not anyone's friend anymore]].
* HasAType: [[GiantWoman Giant women.]] He brainwashed Giganta into marrying him, and despite normally having a mutually-chilly relationship with Poison Ivy, when she supersizes herself in "Devil's Snare," he's instantly turned on and tries to pay her to put him in her pocket. Psycho outright admits to the crew that he has a type.
* HeManWomanHater: Wouldn't be Dr. Psycho if he weren't a raging misogynist.
* HeightAngst: He's sensitive about his height.
* HiddenDepths: He has enough practical knowledge to render animal fat into candles. He can also make hats out of animal hide, suggesting he knows how to work leather.
* HotSkittyOnWailordAction: A DepravedDwarf had a child with a GiantWoman. Though he admitted that the sex wasn't great.
* {{Hypocrite}}: During the latter half of season 2, he has ''many'' instances of this:
** Back in season 1, he was horrified by the massacre of the Praxis family, stating "We never covered anything this fucked up!" In season 2, [[spoiler:he goads Harley into initiating a massacre of Gotham City with a parademon army that puts the Queen of Fables' one to shame]].
** He stated that he refused to sell King Shark's fin to a Japanese chef, showing care for him. In season 2, [[spoiler:he brainwashes King Shark and takes joy in making him relive his traumatic childhood memory of killing his brother]].
** He showed sympathy to Sy and his sister, yet [[spoiler:he shows no sadness when Sy sacrifices himself]].
* HypnotizeThePrincess: MindRaped Giganta to fall in love with him, though she comes out of it on national television and calls him out for it.
* IgnoredExpert: PlayedForLaughs: He takes Harley's crew on a JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind and -- having done this many times before -- repeatedly tries to warn them about the various complexities of the human psyche and how many problems the group will face if they do anything rash. Much to his annoyance, nobody listens to him.
* InformedAttribute: His misogyny is so downplayed in the show compared to how often its brought up. While he called Wonder Woman the C-word and raped Giganta, the latter of which is glossed over, he spends most of the show willingly working for Harley and Ivy, and thought he trades snark and insults with them, he also does the same with Clayface, King Shark, and Sy, and makes considerably less sexist remarks than Joker or the Injustice League do, and yet, he's the only one who gets labelled a sexist creep. [[spoiler:His betrayal in Season 2 has him claim he hates working for women as part of the reason he quit, but what was actually shown was Harley refusing to TakeOverTheWorld and he seemed to have no problem being her dragon in this scenario.]] Possibly its due to drawing from his depiction in modern comics, where he's a little creep but he's not above working with women and he keeps his sexism to himself more than anything.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: In the latter half of season 2, he realizes he's gone soft and [[spoiler:loses almost all of his redeeming qualities, betrays the crew, and tries to kill Harley and lead a parademon army in massacring Gotham and conquering Earth]].
* KickTheDog:
** [[spoiler: He forces King Shark to share his most traumatic memory.]]
** [[spoiler: Mind-controlling Ivy and forcing her to kill her best friend and secret lover, Harley]]
** [[spoiler: In one final act of spite, he shares Harley and Ivy having and affair to Kite-man, Ivy's fiancee and all across Gotham.]]
* KickTheMoralityPet: [[spoiler: In Season 1, he was willing to put aside his grudge against Harley at the time to rescue Poison Ivy from Scarecrow. In Season 2, after Psycho goes rogue, he mind controls Ivy on the spot the next time they meet, showcasing that he's completely gone off the deep end.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: [[spoiler: His betrayal of Harley marks the point where everything goes sideways for her in Season 2.]]
* MadEye: Fittingly for someone going by Doctor Psycho, his left eye is drawn bigger than his right one.
* MistakenForGay: In "Dye Hard," Psycho tells the crew that he and Riddler like each other and are "together". Obviously, Psycho means he and Riddler are teaming up [[spoiler:to control the Parademons and kill Harley]], but Clayface takes it the wrong way.
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: [[spoiler:After he turns against Harley, Psycho's main grudge is the she never made him feel respected and appreciated when he was in her crew.]]
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Played with. He is no mad ''scientist'' per se, but he did teach Evil 101 in an actual university, so he actually has a [=PhD=], rather than just adopting ''Doctor'' as part of a villainous nickname.
* TheNapoleon: Very short and prone to yelling and insulting people over trivial things.
* NobleBigot: Proud misogynist, but had no problem working with Poison Ivy and being led by Harley Quinn, and up until season 2 was fine with being part of her crew. [[spoiler:He drops the "noble" part in the second half of season 2]].
* OhCrap: After he calls Diana the [[CountryMatters C-word]] on national television, he's taken aback by everyone else's reaction.
* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Publicly calling Wonder Woman a cunt. Even Darkseid knows about it and considers it low of him.
* PetTheDog: He has quite a few moments where he shows he can stop being awful when he wants to, particularly in season 1:
** "L.O.D.R.S.V.P." has him help Sy reconcile with his sister who was transformed into an octopus monster by using his telepathy to act as her translator. Hearing Mirielle's feelings touches him so much that he cries.
** In "Harley Quinn Highway," he agrees to help Harley rescue Ivy without asking anything in return.
** In "The Final Joke," he pays his respects at [[spoiler:Ivy]]'s funeral along the rest of the crew.
** He's truly moved by [[spoiler:Mister Freeze sacrificing his life to cure his wife]] in "Thawing Hearts".
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: His FatalFlaw. He's evil, but not ''marketable'' evil, and he's trying to correct it with limited success.
** The Legion of Doom kicked him out because [[EvenEvilHasStandards even they found Psycho's blatant misogyny to be crossing a line]].
** He also shows a hint of being racist. While we don't know what he said to set off Black Manta, he replies it was "[[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial nothing racist]]" when asked.
* PowerPerversionPotential: He brainwashed Giganta into loving him.
* PragmaticVillainy: He joins Harley's crew since working in a crew with a female leader would help repair his image that he so utterly ruined.
* PsychicPowers: He can read minds, brainwash people and move objects with his mind.
* PutOnABus: [[spoiler:He's been locked in Arkham Asylum for his partnership with Darkseid, with no indication that he'll be getting out anytime soon. Not that the crew would even want him back after everything he did.]]
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In a peculiar example of this, Psycho quits Harley's crew after she [[spoiler: backs out of the deal he brokered with Darkseid]], disappointed by her reluctance to engage in that level of supervillainy.
* SoProudOfYou: When he sees his son is more evil than he could have ever imagined him to be, Psycho tells him how proud he is.
* TheSociopath: Downplayed. He has the least functioning moral compass of the gang, has committed rape and child abuse, was so unlikeable the Legion kicked him out, and has multiple times taken an ItsAllAboutMe approach. But multiple scenes shows he has compassion for others and functioning empathy, such as his sadness at [[spoiler:Mr. Freeze dying to save his wife]]. In the latter half of season 2, however, [[spoiler:he loses most of his redeeming qualities and becomes more of a true sociopath]].
* SoreLoser: [[spoiler:After being defeated by Harley and Ivy, he uses his powers to send the memory of their night of drunken sex to everyone in Gotham out of pure spite]].
* SquishyWizard: His PsychicPowers make him one of the most powerful members of the team, but physically, he's a diminutive dwarf who could be easily crushed by Harley's bat. He's still MadeOfIron enough to take beatings that would kill a normal man.
* TheStarscream: [[spoiler:When Harley backs out of her deal with Darkseid, Dr. Psycho takes control of the parademon army himself and, after acquiring a device that enhances his psychic powers, hypnotizes King Shark and Clayface into turning on Harley as well.]]
* StayInTheKitchen: While appearing with Giganta on a talk show, Dr. Psycho tries to speak on her behalf and put words in her mouth, all the while vehemently demanding that she stay silent.
* TheyCallMeMisterTibbs: He insists on being called ''Doctor'' Psycho.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: {{Exaggerated|Trope}}. He's a DepravedDwarf who was married to [[GiantWoman Giganta]] (because he mind-controlled her into it). He barely reaches her ankles. Since the two have a son together, Poison Ivy [[HotSkittyOnWailordAction wonders how that works considering the extreme size difference.]]
* TokenEvilTeammate: The crew may be supervillains, but he's consistently got the least functional moral compass (alongside Sy). Interestingly, he's both aware of this and none too happy about it (not least because being a horrible jerk to everyone has ruined his career and his life). However, he eventually can't take not doing true evil anymore and quits the team after [[spoiler:Ivy talks some sense into Harley when the latter unleashes a Parademon army in Gotham]].
* TookALevelInJerkass: For most of the series, he's an obnoxious [[TheNapoleon Napoleon]] who only joins Harley because the Legion of Doom kicked him out, but multiple scenes did show he had a softer side, he seemed to genuinely enjoy working with the crew, and was shocked at the gruesome brutality of Queen of Fables like everyone else. By the second half of Season 2, all of his redeeming traits are gone and his worst traits maximized, starting with [[spoiler:taking control of a Parademon army to kill all the people in Gotham and take over the world. Two episodes later, he betrays the crew by teaming up with Riddler and trying to kill Harley.]]
* ToughLove: After a fashion. His son resents him for giving him such a fucked-up childhood until Psycho explains he did that because he cares so much about his son that he didn't want to see his potential as a supervillain going to waste, so he gave his son one big FreudianExcuse to set him in the path of villainy.
* TranslatorBuddy: He plays this role for Mirielle, Sy's sister who got turned into an octopus monster. Psycho uses his telepathic powers to let Sy know how Mirielle feels and help them reconcile.
* WalkingSpoiler: There's a certain thing Dr. Psycho does in Season 2 that makes it difficult to discuss him afterwards. Namely, [[spoiler:that he betrays Harley and forms a BigBadDuumvirate with the Riddler.]]
* WeUsedToBeFriends: [[spoiler:For all the things Dr. Psycho did to them while he was working under Darkseid, the crew have more or less dropped Psycho from the team. When King Shark, Clayface, and Frank infiltrate Arkham to help Harley escape, they don't even acknowledge him.]]

[[folder:Clayface]]
!!Clayface (Basil Karlo)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/clayface_8.jpg]]
%% [[caption-width-right:350:some caption text]])
->''"Brother! It is I! The Superman! From Kryptalon!"''
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AlanTudyk, Creator/JonahPlatt (singing voice)
An actor made of clay who takes great pride in his art.
----
* AccentUponTheWrongSyllable: He often overemphasises the last syllable of a [=sentEEENCE=]. It's generally a sign that he's descended so far into his obsession with LargeHam theatrics that he can't even hold his diction together.
* AdaptationalDumbass: This Clayface is an idiot who can't even go one mission without trying to exaggerate the false identities he creates and constantly overplays the parts. He was easily tricked by Maxi Zeus into blowing his cover, and he blew the team's cover when he was impersonating Batman because he couldn't keep himself from singing.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Most versions of Clayface are murderous, unstable monsters. This one's just a friendly and endearingly inept actor who happens to mostly work for supervillains.
* AdaptationalWimp: In other media, he's a powerful enough {{Shapeshift|ing}}er to warrant [[GodzillaThreshold drastic measures]] specifically for him. Here, Doctor Psycho is able to beat him up with his bare fists and he gets his clock cleaned by Maxie Zeus, a powerless human and lesser villain. In fact, throughout the entire first season, besides his debut appearance's fist fight with Doctor Psycho, the only other (very brief) moment he was seen fighting was shapeshifting his arm into an axe to fend off the sentient tree monsters created by the Scarecrow. This is a far cry from ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity'' where he is a difficult FinalBoss.
** Although the episode "Lover's Quarrel" shows [[spoiler: that he's capable of his more traditional feats of power when under Psycho's MindControl, possibly indicating that his fighting prowess is hampered by his love of "acting" rather than physical weakness]].
* AffablyEvil: Is one of the friendliest members of Harley's crew, after King Shark.
* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: Gender identity is always a complex issue when talking about free-form shapeshifters (it's not, after all, something that our understanding of gender and sexuality has had to seriously address so far), but Clayface makes it especially difficult - his ShapeshifterDefaultForm is male and apparently quite comfortable being so, but he only ever attempts any form of romance (whether it be seducing someone for a mission or dating off the clock) when wearing a female form.
* AmbiguouslyGay: When he expresses romantic or sexual interest, it's only ever in men. The 'ambiguous' part comes from the fact that while his ShapeshifterDefaultForm is male, he prefers to approach them as women - see AmbiguousGenderIdentity above.
* BadBadActing: Just like his depiction in ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'', Clayface is such a bad actor that he rarely ever fools anybody even with his shapeshifting.
* BrainBleach: He throws his eyeballs away upon seeing the carnage left by the Queen of Fables. If anything, he throws them too early, as she follows up by [[FedToPigs cleaning the crime scene]] in a manner [[GoryDiscretionShot too gruesome even for the audience.]]
* BritishTeeth: Has crooked yellow teeth, plus he speaks in a British accent.
* CampGay: So campy that he can play a dramatic college girl as easily as breathing and he's all for transforming into a woman to seduce men more than once.
* ChewingTheScenery: Creator/AlanTudyk is clearly having a ball playing a hammy actor UpToEleven.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Because of his ComplexityAddiction he ends up doing this frequently. When confronted with Red Riding Hood's wolf - a wolf dressed up as an elderly lady - he turned himself into Grandpapa Wolf.
* ComplexityAddiction: Due to his flair for the dramatic, every single character of his must require some kind of elaborate back-story and/or hidden darkness, or else he can't find the motivation to play them. When tasked with ad-libbing the role of a delivery guy to distract Maxie Zeus, his idea is "a delivery guy who is also Maxie's long-lost son", which winds up exposing him as a fraud.
* TheDitz: He demonstrates an incredible level of stupidity. He thought that a tank could shoot invisible missiles, has blown his cover more than once, and it took him a moment to realize that the Big Bad Wolf that the Queen of Fables summoned was not actually a grandmother. He than tried to confuse the wolf by shapeshifting into another wolf ''right in front of it'' and pretending to be its husband. Psycho even pointed out that the wolf was actually a male one wearing a dress and not a female one, so this attempt made no sense even in context. His stupidity is even lampshaded in "Thawing Hearts", when an annoyed Dr. Psycho shouts "God your stupidity is incredible!"
* DramaPreservingHandicap: If he was smart enough to use his shapeshifting properly for infiltration and combat, he'd be the most dangerous and versatile member of Harley's crew by an enormous margin. He isn't, so he's just useful but unreliable.
* DumbIsGood: He's a genuine NiceGuy who's both the least intelligent and least actively murderous member of Harley's team, to the point where he has only ever been seen using violence in defense of himself or the rest of the crew.
* EffeminateVoice: He uses a campy voice when he transforms into a woman to interpret female "roles".
* TheFace: He's the uh, most, uh, '[[LargeHam flamboyant]]' person in the group. At the same time, he ''is'' fairly social and cultured, having introduced King Shark to the group.
* ForgotAboutHisPowers: Frequently tends to forget about his many many abilities, including...
* IronButtmonkey: Because his clay body renders him largely invulnerable to serious harm, he's been on the receiving end of amusing injuries. Maxie Zeus beats him up, he loses his arm and has to spend most of the episode trying to get it back, and Aquaman beheads him for trying to pose as Superman.
* HiddenDepths: He's not that good of an actor, but he turns out to be quite a good singer.
* LargeHam: As a thespian, he seems incapable of giving a subtle performance. This can actually work in his favor if he impersonates someone who's just as hammy as himself; in "L.O.D.R.SV.P." his disguise as Aquaman is entirely believable and manages to fool two Atlantean guards.
* MasterActor: He thinks he's an amazing actor who can fool anyone with his performances. While his shapeshifting does help with that, he's usually too much of a ham to be taken seriously.
* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Clayface is kinda bad at villainy in this series, and is only useful as an actor/distraction, and even then it rarely works.
* MorphicResonance: When infiltrating the Iceberg Lounge, his waiter character "Francois" has the same ghastly teeth as he does, a rare slip for a normally talented shapeshifter. [[RuleOfFunny It would've gained more notice if Penguin was the kind of guy to actually pay attention to the help, or if the rest of the crew weren't in even worse disguises.]]
* MostDefinitelyNotAVillain: Tends to introduce himself as "it is I, [current identity]!" and will often drop into his disguises' backstories at a drop of a hat.
* MrImagination: Whenever he transforms, he makes up with an elaborated backstory and profile for the character he's playing, to the annoyance of his teammates and whoever he's distracting at the moment.
* NiceGuy: He's an annoying loudmouth, but he's polite, friendly, kind-hearted, and generally not villainous at all outside of his choice of employers. He and King Shark even agree when Batgirl states they are more [[AntiHero anti heroes]] than villains.
* NoodleIncident: He apparently had a bad review of his acting in the past which was worse than literally getting his head sliced off for it.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: He tends to lose his grip on whatever fake voice he's using whenever he gets the chance to talk about his characters' backstories.
* PullingThemselvesTogether: He can call back any parts of him that get cut off or separated, as long as he can see them and they aren't blocked by something.
* RunningGag: Every time he transforms, he sprays clay in every direction.
* ShapeshiftingSeducer: He suggests a plan to seduce the mayor by transforming himself into a woman, and cases Kord Industries by transforming into a woman and seducing a member of the staff.
* SmallNameBigEgo: He thinks he's a great actor, but he's anything but.
* TechnicallyNakedShapeshifter: The only clothes he ever wears are part of his transformations.
* ThoseTwoGuys: His dynamic with King Shark, which gets even more pronounced after [[spoiler:Doctor Psycho splits from the crew.]] His bombastic personality is often contrasted with King Shark's more down-to-earth demeanor.
* TookALevelInBadass: He's been far more helpful to the group in Season 2. It's stated that the plan to save the frozen Harley from Penguin was his idea, and when invading Riddle U, he used his disguise work to immediately take suspicion off Harley and Ivy. This extends to combat, as he's much more active in fights than he was in Season 1.
* TrulySingleParent: After one of his limbs cut off, it gains sentience and calls Clayface "Dad".
* UnskilledButStrong: On multiple levels. He's not much of a fighter and not much of an actor, but he's got a superpower that's incredibly useful for both of those jobs. Everything he does ends up as a tug of war between his ineptitude and his massive natural advantages.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: He can take the form of humans of either sex and animals.
* WickedCultured: For a given meaning of ''wicked'', at least. Say what you will about his abilities as an actor, he ''is'' knowledgeable about Shakespeare (what with being a thespian) and he ''can'' whip up fairly complicated stories at a moment's notice.
* WillfullyWeak: He deliberately chooses to be infiltrator/spy for the Quinn Crew than use his powers to his full potential. [[spoiler:When Doctor Psycho starts controlling his mind, Clayface is able to change size and become a force to be reckoned with.]]

[[folder:King Shark]]
!!King Shark (Nanaue)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/king_shark_1.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:"Is that a shark joke? If so, it's very funny."]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Ron Funches
A happy, easily excited, but ''very'' bloodthirsty shark man.
----
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: When Harley complained that she couldn't "get a bite" on her website profile, it seems like DudeNotFunny is about to apply when he very seriously asks if that was supposed to be a shark joke. Then he bursts out laughing while saying it was a good one.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: He's a lot more cute and less scary-looking than his comic book counterpart.
* AdaptationalIntelligence: He's an UnskilledButStrong BoisterousBruiser in the comics. Here, he's a competent computer hacker.
* AffablyEvil: He acts more like an excitable ManChild most of the time than a monstrous shark. His voice actor flat-out describes him as a great person in everything except ethics.
* ArrangedMarriage: His father, a king, forces him into a political marriage to keep two shark kingdoms from going to war. Neither he nor his wife-to-be are especially interested, but this ends up working to their advantage when they both realise they can just make it an open relationship and live their lives almost entirely separately from each other.
* BadassBoast:
** After it's revealed that the Queen of Fable's wolf was killed:
-->'''Clayface:''' How did you manage to hollow out the innards of that beast?
-->'''King Shark:''' Well, a lot of people ask me who would win between a wolf and a shark. (Spits out bone) It's a shark.
* BenevolentBoss: Zig-zagged. He became boss of the prison when he was briefly incarcerated. He utilized his appearance with some added physical threats to make the other inmates comply with his demands, but also maintains that he doesn’t want to harm his underlings, since he "Like[s] being cool boss".
* BerserkButton: Doesn't appreciate the term "fish" to describe new prisoners.
-->'''King Shark:''' Now fellas, look, I know it's all in fun but ''[[SuddenlyShouting WHAT THE FUCK DID I TELL YOU ABOUT THAT WORD?!]]''\\
'''Prisoner 1:''' Oh, yeah. Sorry King.\\
'''Prisoner 2:''' Yeah, sorry about that.\\
'''King Shark:''' Aw, they're learning. Baby steps, right Harley? '''''[[SuddenlyShouting I WILL KILL EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU WITH MY BARE HANDS IF I HAVE TO!!!]]'''''
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Normally, he's a nice, geeky, humanoid shark monster. Let him smell blood and you lose the 'nice' and 'geeky' parts.
* {{Bloodlust}}: He's normally meek and polite, but if he smells even a drop of blood he turns into a killing machine. Normally he uses smelling salts to avoid the issue, but they don't work so well in the water.
* CainAndAbel: He killed his brother when he accidentally cut his knee in a fight, which triggered King's bloodlust and drove him into a murderous frenzy. King is guilt-ridden for doing this and it explains his discomfort with blood.
* CharacterDevelopment: In a bizarre fashion, King Shark gets increasingly more comfortable with killing people as the series goes on, to the point his murderous personality shift upon smelling blood mostly disappears.
* CuteAndPsycho: He's an adorably nice computer geek until he smells blood or someone uses "fish" as an insult. He then turns into a murderous monster and you remember he's a dangerous villain. Even without anyone pressing his {{Berserk Button}}s, he'll still bite the head off of anyone in his way.
* CuteGiant: He is a giant SharkMan who is ironically enough, quite cute, especially with his friendly demeanor.
* DoubleMeaning: King Shark says he can't handle blood at the idea of being the shark in their shark tank. It is later revealed that the smell of blood actually makes him go feral with {{Bloodlust}} and causes him to actually try to kill Robin when he nosebleeds into the tank. Doctor Psycho and Clayface admit that they both thought King Shark meant he was AfraidOfBlood.
* TheEngineer: Besides being a stellar hacker, he can build and modify vehicles and equipment, such as turning a regular car into a death car with a gatling gun.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** Is disturbed by Harley's declaration she's going to murder Robin, a[[note]] granted, ''incredibly'' annoying[[/note]] child.
--->'''Ivy:''' If you do it, you validate what everyone's saying, that Robin's your nemesis.\\
'''Shark:''' ''Also'' you'd be a child killer, which ''some'' may argue is worse.
** He drops his typical LargeHam demeanor after watching Clayface WaterfallPuke out clay that is then reabsorbed into his body.
--->'''Shark''': I do not understand how you live with yourself.
** He also was very uncomfortable with the idea of being the ThreateningShark circling around Robin and had to be told repeatedly that they weren't asking him to eat him. Of course, getting a whiff of Robin's blood via a bleeding nose caused him to lose all restraint, but his reaction to blood was one of the reasons why he was against doing the act in the first place.
*** He also seemed reluctant to play a negative stereotype of sharks. When Clayface volunteers to be the shark and describes his interpretation, King Shark is convinced to do it himself.
** He only eats humans as part of business but tries to avoid women and children (until his accidental blood frenzy), and swore he wouldn't kill old people.
* EvilGenius: He was brought onto Harley's crew for his technical know-how.
* FaceOfAThug: By supervillain standards at least. He's actually a lot more happy-go-lucky and dorky than his appearance would suggest. That is, as long as he doesn't [[UnstoppableRage smell blood]].
* GeniusBruiser: He's a computer expert and knowledgeable about the failings of the prison industrial complex. He's also the most physically powerful member of Harley's crew.
* TheHeart: Ironically he's one of the nicest members of Harley's crew despite being a humanoid shark.
* ImAHumanitarian: He eats people, both for business and for pleasure. When he sees a diver in a fishtank at the Legion of Doom headquarters, he reacts like he's just seen a free buffet.
* LargeHam: Most of his dialogue is delivered AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS!
* MadeOfIron: Doesn't even flinch when Harley breaks a wooden bat on his face and he reacts with only a lowkey "Ow?"
* ManBitesMan: His go-to move in a fight is to take a bite out of whoever he needs gone.
* MyInstinctsAreShowing: If he gets a whiff of blood he'll become feral and attack the source to eat them. [[spoiler: He tries to eat Robin and Wonder Woman, and he tragically ate his own brother when he accidentally cut the latter's leg during a scrap.]]
* NiceGuy: Unlike Clayface and Psycho, he doesn't need Ivy to convince him to risk his life to help Harley in "Being Harley Quinn". He and Clayface also both agree with Batgirl when she states that she doesn't really see the crew as villains.
* PlayfulHacker: A competent hacker.
* ReallyRoyaltyReveal: "Bachelorette" reveals King Shark is the crown prince of the shark kingdom, but had run away to avoid an ArrangedMarriage.
* SharkMan: He's a large shark-human hybrid with rows of sharp teeth.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: He wears minuscule pince-nez glasses when playing the EvilGenius.
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: He can talk to fish, but doesn't speak Dolphin. He knows a little Porpoise, though, but...[[note]] he was cut off, but Porpoise likely is to Dolphin like Spanish is to French or Portuguese.[[/note]]
* ThreateningShark: He's a generally [[AffablyEvil surprisingly friendly]] SharkMan, but he is still a supervillain who has eaten people.
* ThoseTwoGuys: With Clayface, especially after [[spoiler:Doctor Psycho defects.]] Clayface's constant dramatics make King Shark look even more normal in comparison. It's also revealed that the two knew each other before they became part of Harley's crew, as Clayface is the one who contacted King Shark.
* TheToothHurts: The Season 1 finale has the Joker rip out many of King Shark's teeth and use them to make a necklace.
** He also ends up trying to bite into Wonder Woman's unbreakable bracelets when they fight in "Lover's Quarrel", which ends up breaking his front teeth.

[[folder:Frank the Plant]]
!!Frank the Plant
->'''Voiced by:''' JB Smoove
Ivy's giant talking venus fly trap.
----
* AndIMustScream: He claims to have spent ten years in a dog park before Ivy made him anthropomorphic, implying he was conscious the entire time.
* BizarreAlienBiology: In addition to flowering eyes growing out of stalks on either side of him, he's shown to have a tiny buttocks on the back of his "head", in spite of not having legs or the kind of digestive system that would need it.
* CanonForeigner: One of the few characters made specifically for the show.
* CommutingOnABus: Frank seems to vanish from the screen anytime the plot doesn't really need him, he was away from a few episodes in Season 1, and Season 2 does the same; meanwhile everyone else in Harley's crew is always seen, in all episodes.
* EveryoneHasStandards: As much of a jerk he is, he’s furious that the Joker killed Howie Mandel.
* {{Expy}}: To Audrey 2 of ''Film/LittleShopOfHorrors'' being a trash-talking man-eating plant with a penchant for insulting and lowering the self-esteem of those around him. He's also named after that film's director Creator/FrankOz.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Openly obnoxious and rude, completely apathetic to Harley's problems, and has no problem letting bad things happen just to see a reaction. But ironically, he's not as bad as a lot of the show's other villains. Despite him being a grade-A jerk most of the time, he's ultimately loyal to Ivy and does understand how much Harley means to her. In "Bensonhurst", he drives to pick up Harley first to help rescue Ivy when he finds out that she's in trouble. [[spoiler:He later joins Clayface and King Shark in helping Harley escape from Arkham, though she turns them down.]]
* JerkassHasAPoint:
** When Ivy claims [[IWorkAlone she works alone]], Frank points out her [[{{Hypocrite}} hypocrisy]] given her reliance on plants, not to mention using him as a servant.
** In response to Harley wanting to break into the facility holding Ivy, Frank states Harley will get shot and killed if she goes in alone.
* ManEatingPlant: He's a mutated venus flytrap and he's shown an appetite for humans. In the first episode, he ate a kid and his parents offscreen and [[VomitIndiscretionShot barfs up their skeletons]].
* NoSympathy: After Harley confides to him that she's realized the Joker doesn't actually love her, he responds with this:
-->'''Frank:''' Oh boo-''[[PrecisionFStrike fucking]]''-hoo! [[AndIMustScream I spent ten years in a dog park]]. Come talk to me when a St. Bernard shits on your face!
* PhraseCatcher: "Shut up, Frank!", which Ivy yells at him whenever he annoys her.
* TeamPet: A pet that speaks, snarks, and swear. [[spoiler:After Doctor Psycho quits the crew, Frank the Plant starts taking his place, attending Kite Man's bachelor party and accompanying Clayface and King Shark on their Arkham jailbreak.]]
* WouldHurtAChild: He has no issue eating a kid. [[CrossesTheLineTwice Or their parents.]]

[[folder:Sy Borgman]]
!! Sy Borgman
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sy_borgman.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:"I'm back baby!"]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JasonAlexander
Ivy's grouchy landlord who also happens to be a cyborg.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: He's far more skilled and versatile than his comics counterpart, being able to singlehandedly take down numerous goons and even ''transform into a sedan.''
* AlterKocker: Much like his comics incarnation, though he avoids the YiddishAsASecondLanguage.
* BrainUploading: His consciousness is stored in his mechanical eye, and can be accessed by plugging a phone jack into a TV. [[spoiler:After his HeroicSacrifice, he uses this to upgrade to a stand mixer so he can help Kite Man finish the mind control blocker to fight against Dr. Psycho.]]
* {{Cyborg}}: He's got a bionic arm and leg, though the latter is superfluous since he's in a wheelchair.
* DisposingOfABody: His main job back when he was a CIA agent was to be a "go-to cleaner" whenever a mess happened and they needed someone to get rid of the corpses.
* EvilFeelsGood: Wishes to join Harley's crew and get back into villainy, since nearly burning them made him feel alive again.
* FamousLastWords: [[spoiler: I REGRET [[BaitAndSwitch LOTS OF THINGS!]]]]
* GrumpyOldMan: He's an elderly man in a perpetually foul mood.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Sy blows himself up to allow Harley, Gordon, and The Joker to escape from Dr. Psycho.]]
* IKnowAGuy: He has connections to such villains as Black Mamba and Henry Kissinger.
* {{Irony}}: The disabled CIA spook gets his car towed for parking in a handicap spot because he doesn't want to register with the government.
* ItsAllMyFault: He blamed himself for his sister Mirielle being turned into an octopus monster because one of her hybrid mutation experiments WentHorriblyWrong when she was trying to create the octopus-monkey he asked her to make.
* JewishComplaining: Constantly complains about Ivy's guests.
* NobleDemon: A GrumpyOldMan and war criminal though he may be, he's nothing but helpful to Harley's crew once he joins. [[spoiler:He even performs a HeroicSacrifice to help Harley, Gordon, and The Joker escape from Dr. Pscyho.]]
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:Via BrainUploading. As it turns out, his consciousness is stored in his cybernetic eye, which allows him to be revived as a stand mixer.]]
* PainfulTransformation: His transformation into a sedan is shown to be very bloody and very painful. Changing back is even more painful.
* PunnyName: '''Sy Borg'''man is a man with robotic parts. He is literally a cyborg.
* RacistGrandpa: He's implied to have some very un-PC views. It's treated like FantasticRacism when he mistakes King Shark for a pet.
* RedScare: One of his rules is "No commies."
* RetiredBadass: He's a retired CIA fixer who was legendary (not always in positive ways) for his ability to make even the biggest, messiest problems disappear.
* RetiredMonster: Again, CIA fixer during the Cold War. Superman explicitly calls him a war criminal, and he's both open and quite unrepentant about the monstrous things he used to be involved in.
** He gets Vietnam flashbacks in the first episode of Season 2, which are implied to be ''enjoyable'' to him.
* ScatterbrainedSenior: He's a little out there; when King Shark calls him xenophobic, Sy apparently doesn't recognize the word and mistakes it for a reference to ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess''.
* ScrewPolitenessImASenior: He's quite old and not terribly concerned with politeness.
* SeniorSleepCycle: He falls asleep randomly throughout ''Harley Quinn Highway''.
* ShoePhone: He has a phone built into his bionic leg. In his old age, however, he complains that the buttons are hard to read.
* SixthRanger: He doesn't formally join the crew until near the end of Season 1.
* SuperWheelchair: His wheelchair is equipped with all sorts of gadgets. Guns, a backhoe, a helicopter. The latter would be more impressive if it didn't have trouble lifting more than one person. And if he remembered to keep the diesel topped off.
* SupportPartyMember: For most of season one. After joining Harley's crew, he only goes with them on one mission (to steal a sarcophagus) and doesn't even join them in the Legion of Doom. Harley outright states at one point that he was never really part of the crew. This gets averted later on when he helps them save Ivy.
* TokenEvilTeammate: As a retired war criminal and a CIA agent during the Cold War, he's been involved in more serious, professional evil than most of the gang, and he carries the attitude over. They recruit him after he almost kills them all.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: He has implants that allow him to turn into a sedan decked out with weaponry. The exact process of doing so however... [[BodyHorror isn't pretty]].
