History Characters / RedPandaAdventures

* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: The reason the Red Panda captured him was because ''he'' went back to save a child who got caught in a building collapse he caused.

* ThouShaltNotKill: Doctor Bumblebee went out of his way to avoid killing anyone during his crime spree. Keeping to this, going back to save a child her accidentally endangered, led to his capture.

* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: As the Red Panda puts it, he was seduced into crime after first putting on his original exoskeleton. He manages to resist Todd the second time around, his "crime spree" consisting of only a single theft of several hundred dollars and kidnapping major tech company moguls for the sole purpose of demonstrating his Royal Jelly's effects.

* TheStrategist: His crimes are as meticulously planned out as his writing. The Red Panda suspects he even had a hand in crafting the Allied invasion of Normandy.

* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Made easier as the season progresses as he's one of the few of the Red Panda's enemies that aren't dead, incarcerated, [[spoiler:conscripted by the Government into service]], [[spoiler:kidnapped by the Nazis]], or retired.

* ThouShaltNotKill: Doctor Bumblebee went out of his way to avoid killing anyone during his crime spree.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: As the Red Panda puts it, he was seduced into crime after first putting on his original exoskeleton.

* ProfessorGuineaPig: In his desperation to demonstrate his Royal Jelly formula, he used it on himself.

* InsufferableGenius: Nearly every line of dialogue the Genie speaks makes a point of pontificating on how much more intelligent he is than anyone else in the room and he takes poorly to any implication he isn't as smart as he likes to think he is. He's self-aware enough that, in the Home Team arc, he behaves humble and uncertain knowing it would make the Red Panda suspicious that there's more going on in that episode than meets the eye.

!! The Genie

* FriendlyEnemy: He's generally quite friendly toward the Red Panda, even as he's trying to kill the mystery man. Less so towards the Flying Squirrel, since he considers her an extra. As time goes on, the Mad Monkey's plots revolve more around fighting the Red Panda, and because, more often then otherwise, the Monkey doesn't put human life at serious risk, the Red Panda seems to reciprocate. At the end of "Stop the Presses", when the Red Panda is forced to let the Mad Monkey escape to capture all of Archangel's goons, he takes the time to make sure the Mad Monkey sees him waving his fast at him angrily.

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: It's not until "The World Next Door" that the Red Panda learns that Kit's name is actually "Katya". As she explains, growing up her father called her "Kit" growing up and it stuck. Everyone except for Ma Baxter refers to her as Kit.

!! The Mad Monkey

* {{Idiosyncrazy}}: Invokes this as much as he falls victim to it. He gladly embraces the trope in is first appearance by committing monkey related crimes because he feels it better positions him to be the Panda's nemesis. At the same time, to hear him tell it, he's driven to crime in part by the righteous fury of the baboons he recruits and, when he learns martial arts, he focuses on the monkey style. After his first appearance, the monkey themed crimes stop in favor of plots directed against the Red Panda, with actual crimes mostly committed to keep himself funded.

* BigBeautifulWoman: Professor Zombie's appearance in the ''Night of the Red Panda'' comics feature her as a large, heavyset woman in a green gown and pearl necklace. She's quite attractive, if you disregard the fact that she's a mass murdering, necromancer supervillain.
* DatingCatwoman: Implied. Professor Zombie's first appearance features her and the Red Panda flirtatiously trading insults and complements alike.

* LargeHam: Her debut episode features her threatening Toronto's upper crust from a theater stage and making the most of it. Even when she adopts the Golden Claw's more subtle tactics, she can't resist pulling a big public, audacious job like having a minion dressed as the Red Panda steal war bond money live on the radio to get the Red Panda's attention.

%% StevenUlyssesPerhero

* HeelFaceTurn: When crime begins to become an insufficient muse for his work, the Poet is convinced to sign on with the war effort and turn his creative skill to creating strategies for the Allies.

* InformedAbility: The Poet is described as writing about his crimes in sonnet and prose of such quality universities teach my it. His every on screen appearance, however, has the characters note a drop in his usual quality either because he's being impersonated or a personal issue is affecting him. This is a necessary evil as the Poet is a master wordsmith and Gregg Taylor, by his own admission, is not.

* CoatHatMask: His preferred form of costume, with the addition of red gauntlets. Following the war, he traded his shoes for boots, finding them more comfortable.

* EmbarrassingNickname: He regards "Captain Clockwork" as this. The name was given to him by the press and it stuck. When naming himself in ''The Android Assassins'', he refers to himself as "the Viper". The Red Panda, upon learning this, decides to make it a point to call him "Captain Clockwork" now that he knows it annoys him.

%% ClockworkCreature: All of his creations.

* IWorkAlone: Refuses to work with other superheroes, with the one notable exception.

* {{Expy}}: Of Superman. He has the standard FlyingBrick power​set, wears a stylized letter A on his costume, and the Red Panda describes him as an ubermensch who draws power from the sun.

* TheAtoner: One reason the Red Panda wears the mask is a sense of guilt for the less than savory ways his family has amassed it's great wealth.

* BloodKnight: Very little makes her night like a night on the town beating up the scum of Toronto. She's far more action oriented than the Red Panda, to the point that O'Malley recognizes she's been less active because there have been fewer thugs being arrested after being beaten. In ''The Crime Cabal'' novel, her battle cry is described as a mix of anger and joy.

* ActionGirl: The reason one of the city's wealthiest men sought to hire her as a driver was a demonstrated knack for car chases. She considers going out and beating up bad guys a romantic night out.

* AbsentMindedProfessor: Going a bit senile with age. As he puts it the body is willing but the mind is scattered. Senility is much more set in by "The Wild West" but is still plenty reliable in a laboratory setting.
%% MadScientist: A heroic variant.

%% BigBad
* EvilerThanThou: One if his plans is kidnapping supervillains fun around the world and forcing them to assist him.

* ArchEnemy: He seems to think so, at least.

%% EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys

* {{Idiosyncrazy}}: Invokes this as much as he falls victim to it. He gladly embraces the trope by committing monkey related crimes because he feels it better positions him to be the Panda's nemesis. At the same time, to hear him tell it, he's driven to crime in part by the righteous fury of the baboons he recruits. When he learns martial arts, he focuses on the monkey style.

* BoxedCrook: [[spoiler:He is forced to aid the war effort, joining the heroes. It's made quite clear to him that if he doesn't play along, the government would sooner kill him than let the Nazis capture him.]]

* HeelFaceTurn: Sort of, as [[spoiler:the Home Team's "scientific advisor".]]
%% InsufferableGenius
%% MadScientist

* {{Jetpack}}: His primary trick, and the source of his name.

* HeartbrokenBadass: When he works with the Flying Squirrel, she notes that he throws himself into his work even more than she does, and for the same reason, [[spoiler: to not think about the loss of their respective loved ones]].

%% PhlebotinumRebel

* AwesomenessByAnslysis: Harry is the one who takes down the real Archangel because he's​ able to recognize who everyone in the room is ''actually'' deferring to.
