[[folder: The Emerald Empress]]
->'''AKA:''' Sarya/Falyce/Cera Kesh/Ingria Olav
->'''Homeworld:''' Venegar
->'''Abilities:''' Controls the Emerald Eye of Ekron, a mystic ArtifactOfDoom.

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.
----
* ArtifactOfDoom: The Emerald Eye of Ekron
* TheBaroness: Though which version she's closer to tends to vary from comic to comic.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: The Postboot version of the Eye can grant wishes, but is more of a JackassGenie. Leviathan and Shrinking Violet learned this the hard way.
* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: Falyce was implicitly stated to have been used a plaything for an Orandian duke who blinded her right eye so badly it was just one giant scab. This is what made her so susceptible to the Eye's power.
* BigBad: In the cartoon, and sometimes, the comics, where she and Tharok go back and forth on this.
* BreakTheCutie: Cera Kesh from the Glorithverse ''Legionnaires'', a rejected Legion applicant who showed everyone WhosLaughingNow when the Eye chose her. Similarly, Ingria Olav, Leland McCauley's girlfriend, had no idea what she was getting herself into when Leland let her become the Empress in his new Fatal Five.
* BroughtDownToBadass: In a meta sense; the Reboot introduced the Fatal Five before it was ready to resolve the ongoing subplot about the Emerald Eye - so "The Empress" was simply an AxCrazy BadassNormal who used vague political platitudes as a fig leaf for her killing.
* TheDarkChick: In the comics, although she and [[EvilGenius Mano]] sometimes swap these roles.
* TheEmperor
* FacelessEye: As her main weapon.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Sarya was a minor criminal before accessing the eye, at least in the preboot. She's now the most wanted female criminal in the UP.
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: The Empress who succeeded Sarya, Falyce, took over Orando as its new queen before Sensor Girl took on the role of queen again.
* HystericalWoman: Ingria became this three minutes into her first, and last, battle.
* JackassGenie: The Eye.
* LegacyCharacter: Postboot, several women have posessed the Eye -- or been turned to the dark side by it when they caught its fancy. Preboot, Sarya was succeeded in the role of Emerald Empress by Falyce, who proved even nastier than she.
* MoreThanMindControl: The Eye exerts some control its user. Cera Kesh made a psychic plea to Saturn Girl to free her before its implied the Eye fully took over, and Sarya begged Sensor Girl to free her from the Eye's grasp.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Implied to be the case with Sarya.
* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Green Hair]]: All the Empress' have green hair, to fit with the emerald theme.

[[folder: Mano]]
[[quoteright:102:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mano_3281.jpg]]

* CoolHelmet: As part of his spacesuit.
* 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.
* EarthShatteringKaboom: Deliberately blew up his home planet of Angtu in the original series.
* TheFaceless: His entire species resemble shadows, and as such, have no faces.
* {{Mutant}}
* PersonOfMassDestruction: When he wants to be.
* PoisonousPerson: His touch causes the bonds between atoms to break down, resulting in disintegration.
* PowerCreepPowerSeep: An extreme example: while his Preboot origin story features him using his disintegrating touch to destroy his entire homeworld and everyone on it, he was never even remotely that powerful in any of his actual appearances, where plenty of characters can survive zaps from his hand.
* RedRightHand: Yellow actually. It really stands out on his shadowy black body.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Postboot only.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Preboot.

[[folder: The Persuader]]

* AbsurdlySharpBlade[=/=]AnAxeToGrind: His Atomic Axe can cut through anything--including space/time.
* BaldOfEvil
* TheBrute
* TheDragon: To the Empress in the cartoon and sometimes the comics to Tharok and Empress.
* EmpathicWeapon: Sometimes used to justify his axe's abilities.
* HeavyWorlder
* SuperStrength
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Tharok]]
[[quoteright:82:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tharok_4649.jpg]]

* BaldOfEvil
* BigBad: In the comics.
* CrazyPrepared: He has ''tiny missiles inside his ears'' just in case someone with [[{{Sizeshifter}} shrinking powers]] tries to mess with his brain.
* EvilGenius: The smartest, most competent member of the team. In the TV show he also fullfills this role in the FiveBadBand, as the Empress is the BigBad.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Tharok was a low-level criminal of average intellect. His fusion with machinery instantly turned him into an EvilGenius second to none.
* HollywoodCyborg
* SuperStrength
* TwoFaced: His left side is completely robotic, while his right side is flesh.
* WeCanRebuildHim: He was once a common thief, but his left side was vaporized when he was apprehended. The authorities rebuilt him, turning him into a hyper-intelligent cyborg in the process. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Nice one!]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Validus]]
[[quoteright:109:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/validus_5358.jpg]]

* TheBerserker: Sometimes slips into UnstoppableRage mode. It's the reason he's to be executed in the original comics, despite not being an actual villain: he's simply too dangerous to leave alive.
* TheBrute
* DumbMuscle
* PsychicPowers: He can generate intense blasts of "mental lightning" that stun his foes.
* RetroactiveLegacy: Tribulus from ''R.E.B.E.L.S.'' is a clear precursor to whatever technology created him.
* StableTimeLoop: His whole existence is one, as Validus faced the Legion several times before {{ComicBook/Darkseid}} turned Garridan into Validus and sent him some years into the past.
* TragicMonster: ''Whoo boy.''
* UnstoppableRage
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Mordecai]]

* TheBrute: But not DumbMuscle, as he was actually a fairly sensitive poet.
* CanonForeigner: Mordecai appears only briefly in Glorithverse.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Of Validus, who was off-limits at the time due to messed-up continuity issues.
