History Characters / SecretSix

* AmbiguouslyBi: He's shown to have been in relationships with women, even having a son with Cheshire. But he's also a lot of blatant tension with Deadshot. Later on I'm the New 52, the "ambiguous" part is dropped and he's confirmed to be bisexual.

* GirlsLove: First with [[ComicBook/NewGods Female Fury]] Knockout and then later with Liana, an exotic dancer. [[MarryThemAll And eventually with both. Girl got game.]]

* DropTheHammer: Porcelain tends to carry a nifty looking sledgehammer that also serves as a sort of baton to go with the suit.

* HeroesWantRedheads: An anti-hero at best, but she has a type, since both her love interests are redheads.

Was brought in when the team started out under its own leadership; they needed his expertise in mind-control devices to counter their enemy, Doctor Psycho. Was ingloriously pushed off a cliff by Ragdoll because there's "only room for one dandy freak on the team." See Characters/BatmanRoguesGalleryPart2 for more.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Rivals Characters/{{Deadpool|WadeWilson}} for the biggest one in Western comics. [[{{Flanderization}} But not at first.]] In ''Villains United'', he expressly rejects the notion that he's either funny or a clown.

* EvilIsSexy: At the very least Ryan Choi thought so. Although the "Evil" is becoming more and more subverted over time; now, she's a PunchClockVillain at best and an AntiVillain at worst. [[invoked]]

* TalkingToHimself: In-universe. She frequently argues with Ferdie when she thinks he's being unfaithful.

* RatedMForManly: Tom Blake reporting for [[BloodKnight lion-punching]], [[NoSocialSkills raw steak-eating]], [[WalkingShirtlessScene shirt-removing]] and Characters/{{Batman|TheCharacter}} beating-up duties, SIR!

* DoesNotLikeShoes: You would need really big shoes to fit his feet.

* FauxAffablyEvil: The friendliness and weird way of acting hides that he's an insanely dangerous and mentally damaged person.

** BladeOnAStick / CarryABigStick: She once wielded a pair of Zulu weapons, an asegai spear and knobkerrie club, in a duel with Batman.

* BareYourMidriff: Often, as illustrated here.

* GirlInABox: A particularly horrific version. Due to a severe aversion to being seen, Junior runs a criminal empire from inside a wooden crate, and travels inside a burlap sack.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Freaks the team out in a tense situation where he finally stands up straight (his default posture is somewhere between "slightly hunched over" and "full on crouched" in order to defend Black Alice.

* NobleDemon: ComicBook/{{Huntress}} has noted that, unlike every other villain team heroes have gone up against, these people would all willingly die to protect one another.

Former leader of the team, Scandal Savage is the daughter of the immortal supervillain ComicBook/VandalSavage. Much like him, she's ''very'' hard to kill.

--->'''Ragdoll:''' She makes a compelling case with that ear thing, don't you find?

* ArchnemesisDad: She absolutely despises her father. When your dad is ComicBook/VandalSavage, this is ''very'' understandable.

* BerserkButton: Don't bring up Scandal Savage's [[ComicBook/VandalSavage dad]] or do anything to remind her of him. ''Just don't do it''. You'll be ''very'' lucky to still be in one piece if you make him enter her mind. Actually, that's probably the easiest way to piss Scandal off, given that she is definitely the most AxCrazy of the team and has a ridiculously short fuse, and being insane.

* EarAche: She bit off the ear of Fatality from the ''Franchise/GreenLantern'' series and later admitted she swallowed it.

Thomas Blake was a socialite who squandered his fortune in an unsuccessful bid to become a GreatWhiteHunter. After his fortune went kaput, Blake instead used the skills he learned to become a thief, becoming a [[DistaffCounterpart Spear Counterpart]] to ComicBook/{{Catwoman}}. Despite being a ScarilyCompetentTracker with fairly decent fighting skills, his success was somewhat inconsistent until he reinvented himself as a morally ambiguous mercenary. After some time in the wilds of Africa, the now chiseled and badass Catman is one of the more (anti) heroic members of the group... most of the time.

* RatedMForManly: Tom Blake reporting for [[BloodKnight lion-punching]], [[NoSocialSkills raw steak-eating]], [[WalkingShirtlessScene shirt-removing]] and Franchise/{{Batman}} beating-up duties, SIR!

* SexyCatPerson: A rare male example in comics, since Gail Simone made him a muscular, frequently-shirtless, bisexual AntiVillain.

* VillainTeamUp: Originally with other low level villains, after restoring his credibility, he got to work alongside the likes of ComicBook/LexLuthor, ComicBook/{{Bane}}, and Deadshot.

!!'''ComicBook/{{Deadshot}}''' (Floyd Lawton)

One of the ComicBook/NewGods from Apokolips, a former member of ComicBook/{{Darkseid}}'s Female Furies. When the Six were hired to infiltrate the Secret Society of Super-Villains, Knockout was their contact on the inside. She turned on the Society and joined them, revealing that she and Scandal were lovers. Like the rest of the New Gods, killed by the Infinity-Man. Scandal and the Six later rescue Knockout from Hell and bring her back to life. See Characters/NewGodsApokolips for more.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Rivals ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} for the biggest one in Western comics. [[{{Flanderization}} But not at first.]] In ''Villains United'', he expressly rejects the notion that he's either funny or a clown.

!!'''Bane'''

[[ComicBook/{{Knightfall}} The man who broke the Bat,]] and the only A-lister in the bunch, Bane has recently assumed control of the Six from Scandal. Having kicked his Venom habit, he now uses his cunning mind and natural strength to great effect. Has a weird-but-sweet fatherly relationship with Scandal. See [[ComicBook/{{Bane}} his page]] for more.

See Characters/BatmanBane for his character page.

* MakeMeWannaShout: A particularly nasty one; she screams waves of death that can incapacitate even Franchise/WonderWoman. Turns out the scream is actually a form of MindRape that forces the person that hears it to suffer the way Jeannette did in her original life.

The team's new employer, who essentially shanghais control of the team around the time of the Devil's Island mission. [[spoiler:Actually ComicBook/AmandaWaller, government agent and founder of the Suicide Squad.]] The Six only recently learned this Mockingbird's identity.

* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:Doesn't hesitate to punch out Black Alice when her taking of ComicBook/{{Nightshade}}'s powers leaves them stranded, and Nightshade even [[WhatTheHellHero calls her out on this]]. Waller's response? IDidWhatIHadToDo.]].

** Turns out [[spoiler:carrying out a hit on Giganta's boyfriend was a bad idea. He didn't know that the two of them were a couple at the time, but it was still an immensely bad plan.]].
** Oh, but he only gets even more stupid. Sure, he lived (albeit with every bone in his body broken), but considering [[spoiler: that he told [[ComicBook/TheAtom Ray Palmer]] about [[ComicBook/{{Deathstroke}} Slade Wilson]] being the one who offed Ryan]]... yeah, once Wilson finds out, Rundine isn't going to be alive for much longer.

* GeniusBruiser: Her name isn't '''Dr.''' Doris Zeul for nothing. And at full-size, she's almost as [[SuperStrength strong]] and [[MadeOfIron durable]] as Franchise/WonderWoman.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Vanishes from the book without a mention after the Skartaris arc, presumably due to being involved in alternate-history shenanigans over in ''Franchise/WonderWoman''.

The team's mysterious founder. [[spoiler:Actually ComicBook/LexLuthor, who formed the team to fight against the Secret Society formed by his doppelganger Alex Luthor in ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis''.]] Left the Six to their own devices after they were no longer of use to him. [[spoiler:See the [[Characters/{{Superman}} Superman character sheet]] for more.]]

!!'''Harley Quinn'''

Better known as ComicBook/TheJoker's PerkyFemaleMinion. Briefly joined the Six in one of their earlier outings under their own command. Quit the team when she decided to reform. See Characters/HarleyQuinnTheCharacter for more.

* {{Cloudcuckcoolander}}: Probably as a result of her stunted development, she has a habit of acting like an airheaded preschooler more than a formidable undead assassin. She collects lawn gnomes, insists on munching on cookies during a fight, and in one instance wears a tackishly girly prom dress over her Talon uniform.

* {{Expy}}: The New52’s rendition of Cassandra Cain, the third Batgirl, before the latter’s eventual reintroduction. Both are young but deadly assassins with stunted development, limited vocabulary, and were brainwashed by shadowy organizations but retained moral compasses that convince them to abandon killing.

* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: They can make things shatter like glass, which is very effective for breaking into or out of places, as well as for hand-to-hand combat, being able to shatter the opponent's bones with a mere touch. It's also stated that the harder an object is, the more powerful Porcelain's power gets, which is demonstrated with Franchise/{{Superman}}, who finds out first-hand just how dangerous Porcelain's power can truly be. The only reason Superman survives the encounter is because Porcelain could not bring themselves to kill the Man of Steel.

* CanonCharacterAllAlong: [[spoiler: He's ComicBook/ElongatedMan!]]

* BaldOfEvil: [[spoiler:With her face exposed, she is shown to only have a few strands of hair. The majority of it was lost due to her mutilating her scalp, and she's a monstrous and deranged individual.]]

* SamusIsAGirl: [[spoiler:Turns out she's a woman.]]

* Expy: The New52’s rendition of Cassandra Cain, the third Batgirl, before the latter’s eventual reintroduction. Both are young but deadly assassins with stunted development, limited vocabulary, and were brainwashed by shadowy organizations but retained moral compasses that convince them to abandon killing.

* {{Cloudcuckcoolander}}: Probably as a result of her stunted development, she has a habit of acting like an airheaded preschooler more than an formidable undead assassin. She collects lawn gnomes, insists on munching on cookies during a fight, and in one instance wears a tackishly girly prom dress over her Talon uniform.

* Cloudcoocoolander: Probably as a result of her stunted development, she has a habit of acting like an airheaded preschooler more than an formidable undead assassin. She collects lawn gnomes, insists on munching on cookies during a fight, and in one instance wears a tackishly girly prom dress over her Talon uniform.

* FantasticRacism: Possesses a pointed bias against Amazons, even making a deliberate point to deliberately antagonize them during the Devil’s Island incident against all practical sense. She believes (perhaps not unjustly) that Amazons are hypocrites since while they may present themselves as protectors of womankind, their isolationist policies ensured generations of women were subjugated and brutalized such as Jeannette herself.

--> "All kinds of [[HornyDevils loathsome things]] might have had their way with me...[[BlackComedyRape and I missed all of it]]!"

* RatedMForManly: [[AwesomeMcCoolName Tom Blake]] reporting for [[BloodKnight lion-punching]], [[NoSocialSkills raw steak-eating]], [[WalkingShirtlessScene shirt-removing]] and Franchise/{{Batman}} beating-up duties, SIR!

%%* KnifeNut

%%* AbsoluteCleavage

* MsFanservice: Her first appearance includes her naked with a ModestyTowel, and every single one of her outfits has AbsoluteCleavage at the very least. Her Skartaris outfit [[{{Stripperiffic}} is essentially a few black straps covering her naughty bits]].
