* DecompositeCharacter: In the New 52 Legion series, Validus is shown to be a totally separate character from [[spoiler:Garridan Ranzz, another indication that the Legion of the 2011 volume were located on an Earth separate from the Retroboot. There's no indication given that the two are connected.]]


Added DiffLines:

* KarmaHoudini: A justified example. [[spoiler:No one holds Invisible Kid's death against him, specifically because it's clear Darkseid turned him into a monster and he had no real control over his actions. Other than that, after his identity is revealed and he's given the name Garridan no one acts as though he's still Validus.]]


Added DiffLines:

* ThatManIsDead: Invoked. As far as anyone's concerned [[spoiler:Garridan Ranzz is Garridan Ranzz, and Validus is gone.]]

Although he's a straightforward example of this trope in-continuity, he was actually introduced several decades *before* both Parker and Kimble. Before their introduction, there was no indication that anyone had adopted the Persuader entity by Chun Ti.

* TheDarkChick: In the comics, although she and [[EvilGenius Mano]] sometimes swap these roles.



* TheDarkChick: More so than the Empress even (who's often TheBigBad). He's definitely weird, and has been known to clash with the other members, especially in later versions of the story. Played up in the cartoon; in the comics he might be closer to TheEvilGenius.

Sarya was just a minor criminal with an eye for archaeological artifacts before she discovered the Emerald Eye of Ekron. Bonding with the Eye, Sarya seized control of her planet, Venegar, only to be drive offworld by rebels who were appalled at her tyranny. She was a founding member of the Fatal Five, and after her death, several other women have taken up her role.
