History Characters / SecretSix

* MarryThemAll: At the end of the series this is her solution to having both Liana and Kay, saying she wants to marry them both. Also a prime example of GettingCrapPastTheRadar, since everyone is so wrapped up in September's reboot that no one seemed to notice that Gail wrote in a polygamous lesbian marriage. Issue 9 of the [=Nu52=] series makes it very clear that this marriage is very much canon, and doing extremely well.

* {{Adorkable}}: Bane has a few moments of this, most notably when holding a small child [[spoiler: Bane initially thinks that he "broke it" when the child begins bawling uncontrollably, apparently forgetting that said child just saw Bane shot repeatedly AND kill the assailants bare-handed]] and when trying to ask a woman on a date [[spoiler: he says her hip size means she'd be good at producing children, and offers flowers and candy in ritual exchange for sexual favors later]].

* BlackAndGrayMorality: Despite being TheAtoner, his morality's incredibly skewed. While his first impulse on finding a Get Out of Hell Free card is to destroy it, and frowns on slavery, he's also willing to work with Dwarfstar (though he still makes it clear that he's disgusted by him and is just barely tolerating him), and [[DisproportionateRetribution beat a man's face to pulp for disrespecting a stripper Bane's only just met.]]
** This comes back to bite him in the ass when the Six briefly visit Hell to retrieve the Card, and he finds out that he's damned for his lifetime of murder and brutality, and he's ''genuinely confused'' that he's slated for damnation. Apparently he had assumed that following his own code of honor meant that he was a fundamentally a good person, not realizing that making up your own moral code is not the same as following an objective morality.

As a child, Shauna Belzer felt she was overshadowed by her twin brother, so she used her telekinetic abilities to kill him. Followed by anyone else who has caught her bad side. Using a ventriloquist dummy named Ferdie she "received" from a performer named Rainbow Rodney, Shauna seeks fame and credibility as the Ventriloquist, a mass murdering psychopath who can turn anyone into her puppet.

** Whenever she's written by Creator/GailSimone, there's nothing good, redeemable, or likable about her. Whereas other writers have her be caring and loving towards Lian (and to an extremely lesser extent Roy), Gail writes Jade as a repugnant, self admitted sociopath whose horrific actions make the readers cheer when she inevitably gets the shit kicked out of her.

* LaserGuidedKarma: See TheChewToy. If Gail Simone's the writer, Cheshire will always get what's coming to her.
* [[ManipulativeBastard Manipulative Bitch]]: She purposefully nuked Qurac because she knew if anyone would try to call her out on it they would have to remember she destroyed a country considered to be the terrorist capital of the world and may have considered it a blessing. She basically killed millions just to troll everyone.

* TheMillstone: Almost any time a story is being done about Roy and Lian Harper, chances are the main source of drama will come from their relation to Cheshire. Roy will angst over the fact that he was in love with a genocidal maniac and that Lian will hve to deal with the fact that her mother is a manipulative bitch who could never stop hurting others even if she wanted to (which is not very likely). Some authors have tried to get Roy to move past his old relationship, while others have ignored those movements forward for the sake of cheap drama. ''The Trial Of Cheshire'' in the first ''Titans'' volume is a decent example of this.

* {{Sex God}}dess: According to Roy Harper during ''The Rise of Arsenal'' arc, next to Kendra Saunders, Cheshire was the best lay Roy has ever had and keep in mind that he's a ladies man who has had sexual flings with many women, including [[ComicBook/WonderGirl Donna Troy]], ComicBook/{{Huntress}}, and other bodacious superheroines.

* BiTheWay: [[http://gailsimone.tumblr.com/post/11015369976/who-was-the-bisexual-man-or-is-that-off-the-table-now Confirmed]] by WordOfGod, who points out that there were enough hints, especially with his interactions with Deadshot, that a number of people had guessed already. She also mentioned that she hated pulling a WordOfGay since the series got cancelled before she was able to reveal it on panel, but plans to bring it up the next time she gets to write him. The first issue of the second volume opens with Thomas on a date with a woman ''and'' a man, who are both very attracted to him.

* BiTheWay: WordOfGod is that she and Scandal were together while they were in the Gulag, but they didn't work out as a couple in the long term. Also counts as AmicableExes since they clearly still care for one another a great deal.

* BiTheWay: Is equally attracted to Catman and [[spoiler: Jeannette]].

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: [[invoked]] This series has done ''wonders'' for him in terms of popularity, to the point that in his appearance in ''ComicBook/RedRobin'' he's considered a legitimate threat to Tim Drake. Not bad for a guy who used to be the ButtMonkey of the DC Universe, and in story more than one person has commented on it.

* RoguesGalleryTransplant: Originally a relatively minor Bat-Family villain, until he was [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap brought back]] during Brad Meltzer's run on ''ComicBook/GreenArrow''.

* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: Despite what's mentioned in FreudianExcuse, the comics make it clear that does ''nothing'' to excuse or wipe away all of the horrific acts Junior's committed. The only person who feels ''any'' sympathy for Junior is [[spoiler:Ragdoll, her brother, and all his sympathy gets is Junior cutting off his fingers.]]

* BareYourMidriff: Often, as seen on the right.

* ButchLesbian
** LipstickLesbian in her first appearances, where she simply wears a business outfit with a skirt. Once she [[HellbentForLeather puts on her battle clothes]] she never goes back.

* [[ThoseTwoGuys Those Two Girls]]: With Jeanette.

* PhysicalGod: His origin was a case of MaybeMagicMaybeMundane for a while before it was confirmed that he was of divine heritage.

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 back to life. See Characters/NewGodsApokolips for more.

* GrayEyes

!!'''Ventriloquist II'''

!!'''Porcelain'''

!!'''Scandal'''

* [[spoiler:SamusIsAGirl]]

* RazorSharpHand: Stabs two fingers into Bane's shoulder while fighting him.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: [[spoiler: Was seemingly meant to become a ComicBook/BirdsOfPrey villain, but the DC reboot cut it short]].

* SubmissiveBadass: Happily defers to his teammates for orders, but woe betide anyone they aim him at.

* {{Antivillain}} [[VillainProtagonist Protagonist]]: if they do not count as {{Antihero}}es.
* AbusiveParents: Pretty much all of the original group to one extent or another, with Scandals and Ragdolls fathers being portrayed as the worst by far, with Catman's sadistic trophy hunter father a close second. Parademon didnt ''have'' parents as we know them on Earth, but was still raised by Granny Goodness, the New God of Child Abuse. However, unlike his teammates, he doesn't have mental scars from it since this is a default parental method on Apokalypse.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Though notably, everyone has ''different'' standards that often lead them into conflict. Catman is the most traditionally heroic while Deadshot will shoot anything that moves if he's paid for it.
** They agree on a few things, though, one of them being that Cheshire is downright awful. Including Catman, and he's still sexually attracted to her despite her actions.

* NobleDemon: 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 Vandal Savage. Much like him, she's ''very'' hard to kill.

* [[AntiHero Anti Heroine]]: On the border between an [[UnscrupulousHero Unscrupulous Heroine]] and a [[NominalHero Nominal Heroine]].

* EarAche: She bit off the ear of Fatality from the Green Lantern series and later admitted she swallowed it.

* MarryThemAll: At the end of the series this is her solution to having both Liana and Kay, saying she wants to marry them both. Also a prime example of GettingCrapPastTheRadar, since everyone is so wrapped up in September's reboot that no one seemed to notice that Gail wrote in a polygamous lesbian marriage.
** Issue 9 of the [=Nu52=] series makes it very clear that this marriage is very much canon, and doing extremely well.

* [[ThoseTwoGuys Those Two Girls]]: With Jeanette.

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 SpearCounterpart 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.

* AntiHero: UnscrupulousHero on a bad day, PragmaticHero on a good one.
** Is this even more so in the ComicBook/New52, where he casually states he's not a good person, yet he's polite, kind and friendly to his teammates (especially [[BrokenBird Strix]]) as well as to a female museum security guard that he saved from being shot by her corrupt superior, and he also saves a dog (he hates dogs) from its abusive cop owner, even adopting said dog.

* BadassDecay: Lampshaded in universe. After a long stint in prison, he became an overweight loser. Green Arrow eventually [[ReasonYouSuckSpeech calls him on this]], and he decides to shape up and go back to his roots.

* BerserkButton: The ComicBook/New52 quickly establishes a couple more of this. He will get very violent if people try restraining him in any way, handcuffs included, and he also despises seeing animals being abused.
* BiTheWay: [[http://gailsimone.tumblr.com/post/11015369976/who-was-the-bisexual-man-or-is-that-off-the-table-now Confirmed]] by WordOfGod, who points out that there were enough hints, especially with his interactions with Deadshot, that a number of people had guessed already. She also mentioned that she hated pulling a WordOfGay since the series got cancelled before she was able to reveal it on panel, but plans to bring it up the next time she gets to write him.
** The first issue of the second volume opens with Thomas on a date with a woman ''and'' a man, who are both very attracted to him.

* ColdBloodedTorture: [[spoiler: He's shown to be quite good at it.]]

* MeaningfulAppearance: Vivid green eyes. In ''ComicBook/BirdsOfPrey'' #11, [[spoiler:they're what a hostage recognizes, and clues in Huntress that he was one of the hostage takers.]]

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

* VillainTeamUp: Originally with other low level villains, after restoring his credibility, he got to work alongside the likes of Lex Luthor, Bane, and Deadshot.

!!'''Deadshot'''

See [[ComicBook/{{Deadshot}} his page]] for more info.

* {{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.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass
** In one case, it's implied he scares Deadshot by being so angry that he stood up straight for the first time.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: his teammates (especially Scandal and Deadshot) are far from shy in telling him that he freaks them right the hell out.

** WordOfGod is that Ragdoll does have a natural superpower: he recovers from surgery at a phenomenal rate. This was explicitly shown in Six Degrees of Devastation.

* MistakenIdentity: Before Villains United confirmed that he's UsefulNotes/{{the Golden Age|of Comic Books}} Ragdoll's son, a handful of fans noted that Ragdoll's flexibility, assassination training, and especially costume coloration reminded them of [[ComicBook/PlasticMan someone else entirely.]]

* NoSell: One of the Madmen attempts a GroinAttack on him during ''Villains United'', which has no effect at all since Ragdoll had his testicles removed during surgery.
* 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.

* TrainingFromHell: Not ''training'' per se, but he wasnt born with triple-joints like his father and older brother. He had to undergo years of painful and disfiguring surgery to get his abilities.
* UglyCute: Especially when Nicola Scott draws him. [[invoked]]
** Black Alice agrees.

* TheDeterminator: Bane shrugs off bullet wounds, even arterial ones after he applies a modicum of pressure. See also. Junior's entry for SadisticChoice.

* MoralMyopia: Belives that following his own moral code is the same as being good. He's wrong.

* TheStoic

* BiTheWay: WordOfGod is that she and Scandal were together while they were in the Gulag, but they didn't work out as a couple in long term. Also counts as AmicableExes since they clearly still care for one another a great deal.

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

* TheChessmaster: Successfully manipulates the Six against the Suicide Squad in an attempt to get Deadshot to [[spoiler:rejoin the latter. It doesn't work, but it's really a win-win situation.]]

* HateSink: Giganta and Lady Vic are PunchClockVillains and generally decent people, and King Shark isn't that bad a guy either. Dwarfstar, on the other hand, is a gigantic piece of shit who clearly exists to be despised by the audience and precious little else.

* OhCrap: When he realizes [[spoiler:Giganta has learned he had Ryan Choi killed.]]

* TooDumbToLive: 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 Ray Palmer about Slade Wilson being the one who offed Ryan]]... yeah, once Wilson finds out, Rundine isn't going to be alive for much longer.

See the [[Characters/WonderWoman Wonder Woman character sheet]] for more.

* 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]]

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

* VaporWear: Recently averted; her [[IconicOutfit usual attire]] used to be the very NubileSavage-ish set of a leopard print top and matching {{loincloth}} and it was implied that [[GoingCommando she wasn't wearing anything underneath]], but as of ''One Year Later'', she's swapped it out for a [[HellBentForLeather leather jumpsuit]] (with a leopard print on the inside of the collar for visual identity).
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Vanishes from the book without a mention after the Skartaris arc, presumably due to being involved in alternate-history shenanigans over in WonderWoman.

* ManBitesMan: [[EverythingsEvenWorseWithSharks Comes with the territory.]] Although almost everyone on the team has done this at one point or another, it's basically his whole fighting style. In the Six's promotional video, his specialty is simply listed as "biting and chewing."

* [[spoiler: LeftForDead: Gets her knees blown out by Deadshot and is abandoned in [[DeathWorld Skartaris.]].]]

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.]]

An old man with a magic fiddle; he was one of UsefulNotes/{{the Golden Age|of Comic Books}} [[ComicBook/TheFlash Flash's]] enemies. One of the first recruits into the Secret Six, the Fiddler proved a liability in his first outing, so Deadshot executed him on Mockingbird's orders, and he later returns as an undead Black Lantern during the ''ComicBook/BlackestNight'' crossover to get revenge on the Six. See the [[Characters/TheFlash Flash character sheet]] for more.

Better known as SelfDemonstrating/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 the [[Characters/{{Batman}} Batman character sheet]] for more.

One of the ComicBook/NewGods from Apokolips, a former member of 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. See the [[Characters/NewGods New Gods character sheet]] for more.

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 the [[Characters/{{Batman}} Batman character sheet]] for more.

* InstantExpert: She seems quite skilled at using the magic powers she borrows, but it is eventually subverted when she reveals [[spoiler: that she tried to use healing magic to cure her father's asthma, but accidentally messed up his insides and gave him cancer.]]
** It's also further subverted when she clarifies that she suffers from PowerCreepPowerSeep, with exceptional levels of power being difficult to maintain for more than a few moments, and in the difference between calling upon people with limited or natural magical abilities, and someone who requires training -- Doctor Occult's one of the least powerful people she's tapped into, but his abilities proved too difficult to use reliably.

* MegaManning

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: She quit the team rather than go with them to Hell. her previous encounter with the place left her that traumatized. Ragdoll notes, when they return, that her room was so bare it was like she was never even there.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehaviour: As Catman notes during their first meeting, she saw them set up a pedophile killer for death at the hands of the father of one of his victims and didn't even blink.
** And then asked for a job.

* DemonicDummy: Ferdie. Like the original Ventriloquist, it's up for debate if he's actually alive or if it's just Shauna controlling him. Unlike the original, Shauna was already insane long before she got Ferdie. In the third issue of the current ''Secret Six'' series, Porcelain is disturbed by how Ferdie keeps talking even when Shauna is eating and her mouth is full. [[spoiler: Then during the encounter with Riddler and his goons, Shauna is shot with a tranquilizer dart and knocked out, yet Ferdie continues moving and talking on his own accord, revealing it was he who stole a jewel Riddler was pining for as a gift to Sue Dibny. Though it's not fully confirmed if he's alive or not, this makes the "he's alive" option far more likely.]]
** [[spoiler: The final issue reveals that Ferdie is definitely not alive, but it's actually a different personality of Shawna's, the only part of her personality that was actually getting to genuinely care for the Six and be loyal to them. Shawna admitted to not liking this and leaves Ferdie behind after betraying the team]].

* ToiletHumor: Her jokes are crass and disgusting.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Easily fills this role in the team. [[spoiler: She eventually betrays them in the final issue]].

* 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 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.

A private detective practically straight out of an old movie, Damon Welles also has the ability to make his body swell up in size. [[spoiler:He's actually Ralph Dibny]].

* [[spoiler: CanonCharacterAllAlong: He's Elongated Man!]]

* DisneyVillainDeath: Subverted; [[spoiler: she takes a long fall at the end of her Birds of Prey appearance...but the Birds don't believe for a minute that it killed her.]]

* NightmareFace: Imagine if [[LordOfTheRings Gollum]] were a [[{{Series/Firefly}} Reaver]].

** Averted with Bane. When Junior attempts the above on him, counting out several dozen bricks in a pile and throwing them at him, counting down each time, before offering the SadisticChoice to save himself or the rest of the Six. Bane [[spoiler: interrupts her, tells her that he picks himself, and reminds her of her place in the counting. This is juxtaposed with the rest of the Six voting four-to-one to abandon him.]]

* RoguesGalleryTransplant: [[spoiler: Was seemingly meant to become a ComicBook/BirdsOfPrey villain, but the DC reboot cut it short.]]

* TheChewToy: Any time Gail uses her, Cheshire inevitably gets her ass handed to her. She's been thrown out of a helicopter, tortured, shot in the chest, forced to eat Solomon Grundy's cooked flesh, beaten within an inch of her life by Jeannette and then kicked upside the head by Tarantula, left as a bloody heap on the floor by three mercenaries hired to steal her son, [[spoiler: and then told said son was killed when he's really alive and been adopted by a loving couple.]]

* EvilMatriarch: She set out to murder Black Canary because she's taken care of Lian, and the girl comes to see Canary as more of a mother than Cheshire. Of course, whether or not her love for her child is genuine is still up for debate.
** Given how she genuinely didn't seem to care that [[spoiler:Lian was being used as leverage, or that she died]]...
** Hell, she's so bad, even at age 4 Lian is perfectly aware of and ashamed of how horrible her mother is. When Lian's babysitter revealed that her grandparents died in the Qurac explosion, Lian got so angry at her mother she threw Jade's picture at the wall shouting "BAD MOMMY!"

* SexGoddess: According to Roy Harper during ''The Rise of Arsenal'' arc, next to Kendra Saunders, Cheshire was the best lay Roy has ever had and keep in mind that he's a ladies man who has had sexual flings with many women, including Donna Troy, Huntress, and other bodacious superheroines.

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