* AmazonianBeauty
* ArtificialHuman: The series goes with her Silver Age origin, where Hippolyta sculpted the infant Diana out of clay. This is hinted at in "Maid of Honor" where Princess Audrey teases Diana about having "feet of clay," to which Diana replies, "You have no idea."



* BreastPlate: Her ChestInsignia, which is designed to resemble two W's. Also see the trope immediately below.

* EvilMeScaresMe: With regards to his Justice Lord counterpart. As Superman himself admits, [[NotSoDifferent he's had the same temptations as Justice Lord Supes]], the only difference being that he didn't give in to them whereas his counterpart did.



* HumanAliens



* NighInvulnerable: This trope being downplayed in ''Justice League's'' first season caused a lot of complaints from fans (and his face being drawn with age-lines didn't help). Fortunately, come Season 2, he got better (and his artwork was greatly improved).

Hard-nosed and no-nonsense when first introduced, John Stewart had been patrolling deep space as a Green Lantern for 10 years prior to the start of the series. According to the series' promotional info, because of his by-the-book approach to superheroics, he tended to treat his fellow Leaguers like well-intentioned rookies. Between "Starcrossed" and the beginning of ''Unlimited'', he [[BaldOfAwesome shaved his head bald]] and began sporting a [[BadassBeard goatee]].
