* ThouShaltNotKill: One of her biggest moral conflicts with Egostic is how he casually murders supervillains. Apparently she did kill multiple in the comic.

!Main Characters
[[folder:Da-in/Egostic/Mango Stick]]
The Stardus megafan who dedicates his life to her in the only way he knows how... While trying to prevent civilian casualties so he can enjoy such with a clean conscience.
----
* AscendedFanboy: Gets to live in the universe of his favorite comic book super hero. By no means does this stop him from geeking out or collecting.
* AttentionWhore: His livestreaming terror and reading the comments live in the act. One of the main reasons he sets himself as a supervillain instead of joining the Association is to be the focus of attention from Stardus.
* BigGood: Which gradually becomes apparent to everyone EXCEPT Stardus.
* BlessedWithSuck: His teleportation being to an extent CastFromHitpoints. He notes, that supers with only one power like Teleporter often have less drawbacks.
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: Tends to brush off his most impactful actions and their impact on others, whether it’s making him well liked or hated, or both.
* BullyMagnet: Downplayed, he’s a teasing magnet from his Ego Stream comrades.
* CastFromHitpoints: Teleporting long distances.
* TheCharmer: Will happily play with women’s feelings to meet his end goals. Only for them to find that he finds Stardus infinitely more interesting, and at best being stuck LikeBrotherAndSister.
* TheChessmaster: Largely thanks to MediaTransmigration knowledge and having been a superfan. His biggest blind spot is in understanding how Stardus is different from the comic thanks to his own actions.
* ControlFreak: Driven by his desires relating to Stardus. Him helping and manipulating people is brushed off by him as something obvious to do.
* CriminalFoundFamily: InvokedTrope: This is the format he builds Ego Stream around, with them receiving support from each other and especially Soobin.
* EmbarrassingNickname: Mango Stick by his fans. Also, his IndyPloy "Apple Mango" S class hero persona is especially embarrassing.
* EngineeredHeroics: All of his bloodless "terror attacks" are this for one reason or another, usually to help boost Stardus.
* FamedInStory: Livestreaming and putting said streams on major television channels through hacking really helps boost his name recognition.
* {{Fanboy}}: Of Stardus and her comic. Finding himself in that world, after he read the comic 10 times, by no means gets in the way of this.
* FatalFlaw: His low self-esteem interferes with his ability to predict what others around him are feeling.
* FoeRomanceSubtext: With Stardus.
* {{Foil}}: PragmaticHero with GuileHero methods, compared to Stardus and her lawful ideology and straightforward punch em methods.
* GuileHero: Gaining influence through making connections is his main means of changing things, and comes up with tactics and strategy all the time. He only occasionally turns to murder.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: His thinking that nobody will take him seriously, either as a threat or as a love interest. The way he sees things, being TheChessmaster thanks to his comic knowledge is his one hand of cards and so he must use it for all it’s worth.
* HeroWorshipper: Of Stardus.
* HiddenDepths: He may not be so oblivious as he appears to women’s interest, just insecure. He has enough emotional intelligence to keep from being stabbed to death by the women in his life, which he claims is a super power.
* InsecureLoveInterest: As far as Stardus is concerned especially. He just sees everyone as out of his league, be it romantically or just in importance.
* LargeHam: Invoked for his supervillain persona, since Da-in is a fan of super-hero media.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: How he sees his female minions.
* LauncherOfAThousandShips: In-Universe, as online comment boards are frequently shown.
* TheManBehindTheMan: Having Icicle, the eventual puppet master of South Korea, working under him.
* MasterOfTheMixedMessage: With Stardus. His trolling combined with flirting really gets under her skin.
* MindOverMatter: His main combat power. He most frequently uses it for hovering, and holding up guns (and his livestream camera).
* ObliviousToLove: He genuinely thinks Stardus just hates him.
* OppositesAttract: Him and Stardus. Egostic is egocentric with flexible morals, while Stardus is humble with strict morals.
* PatrioticFervour: Downplayed. He is quite proud to be South Korean, and will sell out other countries if it helps keep them safe.
* PragmaticHero: De Facto what he is; co-opting less bad villains to use against real bad villains, and killing those who can’t be reformed. This contrasts to the strict moral code of Stardus.
* PsychicTeleportation: His ace in the hole that lets him antagonize Stardus with impunity, taking other with him if he can touch them. Which frequently leads to misunderstandings in the public, as that usually takes the form of hugging women from behind.
* RivalryAsCourtship: With Stardus.
* ShellShockedVeteran: Over time, fueling his desire to retire from supervillainy, with all the wear and tear on him both physically and mentally.
* ShootTheDog: Murdering unredeemable supervillains.
* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: For the things that went wrong in the comic, both in mass destruction and death, and the suffering of Stardus in particular. The second part backfires due to being ObliviousToLove.
* SpiderSense: According to his own thoughts, his third superpower is the ability to sense when he’s about to trigger the wrath of a women’s jealousy.
* SuperVillain: His chosen career, partly to help the growth of Stardus to face future crises, and partly to get attention from someone he sees as out of his league.
* TeleportationWithDrawbacks: The further he goes, the rougher it is on his body. He notes it’s because his power is divided between multiple abilities. Additionally, he needs to have seen the place first to teleport there.
* ThinkNothingOfIt: Reacts like this to saving people. And it’s not a front, he has trouble processing how grateful Atlas and his daughter are for saving her, for instance.
* {{Troll}}: Admits to himself that he loves making Stardus angry and her reactions, and his taunts to her play with her feelings in all kinds of ways.
* UnclePennybags: Both on a personal level with his team, and at the public level with things like being able to apply for damages compensation on his website and the bridge scheme. How he got the money was foreknowledge and Seo-un chips in with her hacking.
* VigilanteMan: De facto what Egostic acts as, being a hero without the shackles of the law that bind conventional superheroes. Knowing that Stardus hates these types, blinds him to the complicating factors in her perception.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Much to his proclaimed chagrin, though he would certainly be less happy if people didn’t attend his livestreams…
* WantsToBeHated: Specifically by Stardus, so that he can give her the challenges she needs to grow stronger in a manageable way, as opposed to her comic storyline enemies who systematically destroyed her mental health.
* WeakButSkilled: Is judged to be one of the most dangerous villain on earth, considering his foreknowledge and manipulation abilities. Despite his relatively basic power strength directly leaving him as an A-rank villain amongst S-ranks.
* YourHeadASplode: Egostic’s early method of assassination was doing this with MindOverMatter. He’s disgusted by it so switches to good old guns.

A bored lethargic shut in girl. Who happens to have major super powers.
----
* AscendedFangirl: She watched Egostic’s youtube videos before being recruited. As a RewatchBonus, some of the comments on the streams really fit her way of speaking (calling things cute).
* DraggedByTheCollar: A running gag, it's pretty much always her fault.
* EmbarrassingNickname: Being told to use her comic timeline nickname elicits this reaction, so she goes with Mist.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Her saying no to being recruited just to see a cute reaction from Egostic.

[[folder:Lee Seola/Icicle]]
One of Korea’s three A-rank superheroes, power at the head her family’s Yuseong Enterprises, and Stardus’ best friend. An ambitious, ice themed manipulator based in Busan.
----
* TheChessmaster: This for Korea as a whole, at least in the comic thanks to the capitol being relocated to Busan.
* TheConfidant: For Stardus. And since they have such similar personalities, Egostic confides with her about his plans almost as much as Seo-eun after working together.
* DoggedNiceGirl: Her approach to seducing Egostic after her more direct methods fail.
* TheFace: Handles the political and business sphere for Egostic.
* FlyingFirepower: Fights and shoots ice at the same time.
* FunctionalAlcoholic: In the background, it eventually gets her into trouble.
* GoingColdTurkey: After it’s demanded of her by Egostic after one of her biggest failures.

* AMotherToHerMen: Egostic notes this about her from the comics.
* NonIdleRich: Not only acts as CEO, but a non-disguised superhero responsible for half of South Korea during daylight hours.
* OneNationUnderCopyright: Her achievement in the comics was doing this thanks in part to Seoul being destroyed. Her ambitions have been delayed in this timeline.
* SecretIdentity: Averted, thanks to being rich and famous, she had to guard against public interference in her life in the first place, so it made little difference.
* ShipperWithAnAgenda: She would rather see Egostic together with Stardus, rather than surrounded by female supervillains from Egostream.
* PragmaticHero: Her philosophy, which meshes with Egostic’s.

[[folder:Kim Ja-hyun/Shadow Walker]]
One of South Korea’s three A-class superheroes, he is ultra powerful during the night and thus assigned hero duties during it. A naive and idealistic man who struggles with the pressures of being a hero, with the help of his girlfriend.
----
* CastingAShadow: His power set.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Egostic notes that trusting the wrong people burned him in the comics.
* HurtingHero: Especially in the comic timeline. Either way, he was depressed even before his girlfriend was slated to be StuffedIntoTheFridge.
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: After getting helped to save his girlfriend, he starts idolizing Egostic as a "real man".
* KryptoniteFactor: Both the Behemoth LivingWeapon and the flames of Mist act like this for his shadow powers.
* PortalNetwork: Because he can use his powers to go between any two places in shadow, he is used as a living one by the Superhero Association, using dark rooms. Resulting in much disturbed sleep.
* {{Protectorate}}: His girlfriend.
* RightForTheWrongReasons: He makes some surprisingly accurate assumptions about Egostic, it’s just the WHY that was wrong.
* ShadowWalker: As his name suggests. This is used by HeroesRUs to move superheroes around South Korea.
* WeaksauceWeakness: His powers don’t work in daylight.
* WideEyedIdealist: Egostic notes this was a big problem for him in the comics, which led to him being duped. His girlfriend also apparently chides him for it.

!Main Characters
[[folder:Da-in/Egostic/Mango Stick]]
The Stardus megafan who dedicates his life to her in the only way he knows how... While trying to prevent civilian casualties so he can enjoy such with a clean conscience.
----
* AscendedFanboy: Gets to live in the universe of his favorite comic book super hero. By no means does this stop him from geeking out or collecting.
* AttentionWhore: His livestreaming terror and reading the comments live in the act. One of the main reasons he sets himself as a supervillain instead of joining the Association is to be the focus of attention from Stardus.
* BigGood: Which gradually becomes apparent to everyone EXCEPT Stardus.
* BlessedWithSuck: His teleportation being to an extent CastFromHitpoints. He notes, that supers with only one power like Teleporter often have less drawbacks.
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: Tends to brush off his most impactful actions and their impact on others, whether it’s making him well liked or hated, or both.
* BullyMagnet: Downplayed, he’s a teasing magnet from his Ego Stream comrades.
* CastFromHitpoints: Teleporting long distances.
* TheCharmer: Will happily play with women’s feelings to meet his end goals. Only for them to find that he finds Stardus infinitely more interesting, and at best being stuck LikeBrotherAndSister.
* TheChessmaster: Largely thanks to MediaTransmigration knowledge and having been a superfan. His biggest blind spot is in understanding how Stardus is different from the comic thanks to his own actions.
* ControlFreak: Driven by his desires relating to Stardus. Him helping and manipulating people is brushed off by him as something obvious to do.
* CriminalFoundFamily: InvokedTrope: This is the format he builds Ego Stream around, with them receiving support from each other and especially Soobin.
* EmbarrassingNickname: Mango Stick by his fans. Also, his IndyPloy "Apple Mango" S class hero persona is especially embarrassing.
* EngineeredHeroics: All of his bloodless "terror attacks" are this for one reason or another, usually to help boost Stardus.
* FamedInStory: Livestreaming and putting said streams on major television channels through hacking really helps boost his name recognition.
* {{Fanboy}}: Of Stardus and her comic. Finding himself in that world, after he read the comic 10 times, by no means gets in the way of this.
* FatalFlaw: His low self-esteem interferes with his ability to predict what others around him are feeling.
* FoeRomanceSubtext: With Stardus.
* {{Foil}}: PragmaticHero with GuileHero methods, compared to Stardus and her lawful ideology and straightforward punch em methods.
* GuileHero: Gaining influence through making connections is his main means of changing things, and comes up with tactics and strategy all the time. He only occasionally turns to murder.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: His thinking that nobody will take him seriously, either as a threat or as a love interest. The way he sees things, being TheChessmaster thanks to his comic knowledge is his one hand of cards and so he must use it for all it’s worth.
* HeroWorshipper: Of Stardus.
* HiddenDepths: He may not be so oblivious as he appears to women’s interest, just insecure. He has enough emotional intelligence to keep from being stabbed to death by the women in his life, which he claims is a super power.
* InsecureLoveInterest: As far as Stardus is concerned especially. He just sees everyone as out of his league, be it romantically or just in importance.
* LargeHam: Invoked for his supervillain persona, since Da-in is a fan of super-hero media.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: How he sees his female minions.
* LauncherOfAThousandShips: In-Universe, as online comment boards are frequently shown.
* TheManBehindTheMan: Having Icicle, the eventual puppet master of South Korea, working under him.
* MasterOfTheMixedMessage: With Stardus. His trolling combined with flirting really gets under her skin.
* MindOverMatter: His main combat power. He most frequently uses it for hovering, and holding up guns (and his livestream camera).
* ObliviousToLove: He genuinely thinks Stardus just hates him.
* OppositesAttract: Him and Stardus. Egostic is egocentric with flexible morals, while Stardus is humble with strict morals.
* PatrioticFervour: Downplayed. He is quite proud to be South Korean, and will sell out other countries if it helps keep them safe.
* PragmaticHero: De Facto what he is; co-opting less bad villains to use against real bad villains, and killing those who can’t be reformed. This contrasts to the strict moral code of Stardus.
* PsychicTeleportation: His ace in the hole that lets him antagonize Stardus with impunity, taking other with him if he can touch them. Which frequently leads to misunderstandings in the public, as that usually takes the form of hugging women from behind.
* RivalryAsCourtship: With Stardus.
* ShellShockedVeteran: Over time, fueling his desire to retire from supervillainy, with all the wear and tear on him both physically and mentally.
* ShootTheDog: Murdering unredeemable supervillains.
* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: For the things that went wrong in the comic, both in mass destruction and death, and the suffering of Stardus in particular. The second part backfires due to being ObliviousToLove.
* SpiderSense: According to his own thoughts, his third superpower is the ability to sense when he’s about to trigger the wrath of a women’s jealousy.
* SuperVillain: His chosen career, partly to help the growth of Stardus to face future crises, and partly to get attention from someone he sees as out of his league.
* TeleportationWithDrawbacks: The further he goes, the rougher it is on his body. He notes it’s because his power is divided between multiple abilities. Additionally, he needs to have seen the place first to teleport there.
* ThinkNothingOfIt: Reacts like this to saving people. And it’s not a front, he has trouble processing how grateful Atlas and his daughter are for saving her, for instance.
* {{Troll}}: Admits to himself that he loves making Stardus angry and her reactions, and his taunts to her play with her feelings in all kinds of ways.
* UnclePennybags: Both on a personal level with his team, and at the public level with things like being able to apply for damages compensation on his website and the bridge scheme. How he got the money was foreknowledge and Seo-un chips in with her hacking.
* VigilanteMan: De facto what Egostic acts as, being a hero without the shackles of the law that bind conventional superheroes. Knowing that Stardus hates these types, blinds him to the complicating factors in her perception.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Much to his proclaimed chagrin, though he would certainly be less happy if people didn’t attend his livestreams…
* WantsToBeHated: Specifically by Stardus, so that he can give her the challenges she needs to grow stronger in a manageable way, as opposed to her comic storyline enemies who systematically destroyed her mental health.
* WeakButSkilled: Is judged to be one of the most dangerous villain on earth, considering his foreknowledge and manipulation abilities. Despite his relatively basic power strength directly leaving him as an A-rank villain amongst S-ranks.
* YourHeadASplode: Egostic’s early method of assassination was doing this with MindOverMatter. He’s disgusted by it so switches to good old guns.

A straight laced superhero on a crusade for justice after her parents were killed by supervillains, Shin Haru is a straightforwards person who likes to be direct in words and in action.

----
* CatchPhrase: "You punk!".
* ContemplateOurNavels: Her obsessive thoughts about Egostic and the right things to do as a hero. She’s really not well adjusted to BlackAndGrayMorality.
* CorruptTheCutie: Occasionally notices this happening to her, like when her favorite drink flavor makes her think of Egostic, or that she actually gets a thrill from him writing a message to her in blood.
* CosmicKeystone: Da-in repeatedly thinks to himself that, because beings as powerful as deities will attack at the later stages of the comic timeline, and that her power can grow as long as she faces enough adversity, he must base everything he does around preparing her for those fights.
* DoubleThink: Gets this about what exactly Egostic is, especially after some trauma involving him.
* FailedASpotCheck: Letting her guard down around Egostic because her super intuition tells her she’s his ally. When following her at one point, Egostic finds it odd that he is the one more on guard of the two.
* {{Foil}}: To Egostic with her lawful take on heroism and straight forwards methods, versus Egostic with his pragmatic heroism and GuileHero methods.

----
* TheChessmaster: This for Korea as a whole, at least in the comic thanks to the capitol being relocated to Busan.

* DoggedNiceGirl: Her approach to seducing Egostic after her more direct methods fail.
* TheFace: Handles the political and business sphere for Egostic.
* FlyingFirepower: Fights and shoots ice at the same time.

* AMotherToHerMen: Egostic notes this about her from the comics.

* OneNationUnderCopyright: Her achievement in the comics was doing this thanks in part to Seoul being destroyed. Her ambitions have been delayed in this timeline.
* SecretIdentity: Averted, thanks to being rich and famous, she had to guard against public interference in her life in the first place, so it made little difference.
* ShipperWithAnAgenda: She would rather see Egostic together with Stardus, rather than surrounded by female supervillains from Egostream.
* PragmaticHero: Her philosophy, which meshes with Egostic’s.
