->'''Portrayed By:''' Marc Oka

The leader of Division 3.
----
* CultureEqualsCostume
* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: He seems fairly ruthless and unfeeling, though not sadistic, and describes himself as a "machine that bleeds".
* {{Cyborg}}: He tells David the he had a machine inserted into his brain and seems to be remote controlling a trio of what appear to be robotic [[RobotGirl women]] with [[GirlsWithMustaches mustaches]].
* DramaticUnmask: [[spoiler:Clark, under the influence of the Delusions, forces him to remove his basket at gunpoint.]]
* FacialHorror: Ptonomy thinks the reason he wears a basket over his head is [[spoiler:because it looks like a grownup version of the monstrous baby chicks that begin to appear in Season 2. This was a Delusion; he actually looks like an innocent old man with facial scars.]]
* TheFaceless: He wears a basket over his head.
* TheSpeechless: Subverted in that he speaks quite clearly through the Vermillions.

->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/MackenzieGray

An agent of Division 3, assigned first to the interrogation of David, and later his sister. His actual name is Walter.
----
* SeventiesHair: Sports a very curly afro.
* ComboPlatterPowers: The Eye can see astral projections, disguise himself as others, and bullets can pass through him.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:On the receiving end from the Shadow King, who wads him up like a piece of paper. [[NightmareFuel It is]] ''[[{{Squick}} not]]'' [[NauseaFuel pretty]]. And to make it worse, he's made to suffer it twice -- first in the astral plane, and then in the real world as soon as that's over.]]
* DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler:He survives the Division 3 massacre, but is killed by the Shadow King in the penultimate episode of the first season.]]
* TheDragon: To Brubaker, the head of Division 3. [[spoiler: After David wipes out Division 3, Walter becomes this to the Shadow King in a way. The Shadow King even mentions that Walter and it agree on some things.]]
* TheDreaded: Melanie and Ptonomy are visibly disturbed when David reveals he's involved with the Division's attempt to find him.
* HunterOfHisOwnKind: He has mutant abilities of his own but hunts down other mutants on behalf of Division 3.
* EyeScream: [[spoiler:One of his eyes pops out of its socket as the Shadow King crushes him to death.]]
* EvilFormerFriend: He was acquainted with Cary, Melanie and Oliver when Summerland was first created.
* ImplacableMan: Ptonomy ''shoots'' him from close range in episode 4, and can only stare at his gun in disbelief when The Eye keeps coming. He's only stopped when [[spoiler: Syd uses her powers to swap bodies and knock him out while he's trapped in ''hers''. Syd is then briefly knocked out when David causes the Division van to crash, not realizing she is now in The Eye's body]].
* ISeeThemToo: The Eye is able to see David and Syd when they're using the Astral Plane to spy on the Division's interrogation of Amy.
* KnifeNut: Spends almost every scene he's in in the pilot carving figurines.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: He's called The Eye, and may be the most terrifying character outside of the Devil and the Angriest Boy. Even if you're on the Astral Plane ''[[OhCrap he can still see you]]''.
* PsychicPowers: Appears to have this to some extent. Not only could he see David and Syd while being projected, he was also able to knock Ptonomy out with a touch, and successfully masquerade as [[spoiler:Dr. Poole]] and [[spoiler:Rudy]].
* {{Sadist}}: He takes great pleasure in inflicting pain, due to being bullied in his childhood for developing slower than the rest.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:Somewhat. While the Shadow King keeps him around in the astral plane, the Eye really doesn't do much other than menace Kerry and Sydney before it decides to kill him anyway.]]
* YourMindMakesItReal: [[spoiler: The Shadow King kills him by crumpling him up into a ball in the Astral Plane, which causes him to crumple up into a ball in the real world shortly after.]]

!!Brubaker
->'''Portrayed By:''' David Selby

A member of Division 3 and superior to Clark and the Eye.
----
* DiscOneFinalBoss: He's set up initially as the BigBad and main antagonist, only for [[spoiler:the Shadow King to slaughter him and most of his men in Chapter 5.]]
* MythologyGag: His name seems to be a reference to Ed Brubaker, who was writer of ''ComicBook/UncannyXMen''.
* NonActionBigBad: Of the three members of Division 3 show so far, he's has the most authority, but doesn't take action himself, preferring to act throughj the Eye and Clark.

!!Philly

[[folder: Spoiler Character]]
!!Charles Xavier
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/charles_xavier_chalk.png]]
->'''Portrayed By:''' N/A

An powerful psychic-mutant and David's biological father who years ago gave him up for adoption after realizing that the Shadow King intended to come after his newborn son.
----
* AmbiguousSituation: Everything we know comes from David's own conclusions and theories which itself is based on the theories of others. We don't know where Xavier is or what's he doing, we don't know if he has his school or the X-Men, nor if he's even still alive given his counter-part's current status in the comics.
* DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: Years ago, Charles defeated The Shadow King in a psychic battle that left the more sinister mutant in a weakened defeated state. Afterwards, Charles gave David up due to realizing that the Shadow King would come after his newborn son out of revenge and so left him with the Hallers.
* TheFaceless: The only indication of who he is, is thanks to a memory of Amy's which shows a brief shot of a wheel-chair wheel with an 'X' in its design.
* TheGhost: There was absolutely ''nothing'' besides hopes from the fans that he even existed in the Legion Universe, the first hint being in Episode 6 before getting a shot of a familiar wheel-chair wheel with an 'X' in the design.
* GreaterScopeParagon: He was the one to defeat The Shadow King years ago to the point that years later, he's still in a weakened state even after feeding off of David's abilities for decades. It's still to be seen if Prof X still runs that school he's so famous for...
* PstandardPsychicPstance: In the chakboard dramatization of his battle with [[spoiler:Shadow King]].
* UnexpectedCharacter: Even ignoring FlipFlopOfGod, no-one thought that Prof. X would make an appearance due to the films until Episode 7.
