History Characters / SpiesareForever

* HeroesWantRedheads: Subverted. She seems exactly like the kind of person Curt ''should'' want, a highly competent partner who deeply understands the angst and struggle that comes with his job, but he doesn't go for it. [[spoiler: His heart already belongs to someone who fits that description, [[HoYay with jet-black hair]].]]

* {{Expy}}: A very loose one of classic Bond villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld, being a self-proclaimed DiabolicalMastermind with a much more physically imposing {{Dragon}} (the DMA standing in for Emilio Largo), and the whole initial ExcusePlot with the bomb being highly reminiscent of Blofeld's first film appearance in ''Film/{{Thunderball}}''. Also one for Hugo Drax of ''Literature/{{Moonraker}}'', the Bond villain known for being a former Nazi (although he only had this backstory in the original book).

* {{Expy}}: She's a CompositeCharacter of all the {{Sensual Slav|s}} {{Bond Girl}}s who've appeared over the years. She shares a first name with Tatiana Romanova from ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove'', although her role is much more similar to that of Anya Amasova from ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe'', and her TykeBomb backstory (and her hair color) comes from ComicBook/BlackWidow. Her backstory of being [[ForcedIntoEvil blackmailed into betraying Curt]] is reminiscent of the backstory of Vesper Lynd from ''Film/{{Casino Royale|2006}}''.

* {{Expy}}: She's a CompositeCharacter of all the {{Sensual Slav|s}} {{Bond Girl}}s who've appeared over the years. She shares a first name with Tatiana Romanova from ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove'', although her role is much more similar to that of Anya Amasova from ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe'', and her TykeBomb backstory (and her hair color) comes from ComicBook/BlackWidow. Her backstory of being [[ForcedIntoEvil blackmailed into betraying Curt]] is reminiscent of the backstory of Vesper Lynd from ''Film/CasinoRoyale''.

* ContraltoOfDanger: Creator/LaurenLopez is a soprano, and Cynthia's singing voice is very much in this range, but her speaking voice is noticeably much deeper than Lauren's other characters (partly because of [[SmokyVoice her smoking]]).

* {{Expy}}: [[spoiler: Of Alec Trevelyan from ''Film/{{Goldeneye}}''. The ending also reveals he's one for Syndrome from ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'', with a plan to replace all spies like Curt with technology specifically to destroy his legacy.]]

* UnrequitedTragicMaiden: In the tradition of Miss Moneypenny, on whom she's based, only exaggerated because the character is also an awkward and shy nerd a la Q (unlike the canon Moneypenny who's usually implied to be fairly worldly). "Barb's Lament" is her song where she briefly fully admits her feelings for Curt go beyond that of a friend and colleague.

[[folder: Deadliest Man Alive]]

[[folder: Agent Owen Carvour]]

''Warning: Unmarked Spoilers Ahead''

!Villains (Unmarked Spoilers Ahead)

* TheDanza: Has the same first and last name as his actor.

[[folder: Agent Curt Mega]]

* PlayingGertrude: The fact that Cynthia has been smoking "since 1939" (22 years before the present day of 1961) means she has to be at least ten years older than her actor Creator/LaurenLopez, who was 30 when the show came out.

* RedBaron: Played with in that its treated like his real name on occasion eg von Nazi calls him "Mr Deadliest Man" but Curt also remarks "I wonder what would earn a man that title." Justified in that a world famous criminal could hardly go by his real name, so probably [[spoiler: Owen never gave his character a real name,]]to avoid getting caught (and just because it [[AwesomeMcCoolName sounds cool]]).

* ButtMonkey: The canon Q's frustration with how callously Bond treats his work is taken UpToEleven here, with Curt wantonly wreaking havoc in Barb's lab, Cynthia making Barb ''live in a fishing boat'' nearby during Curt's mission (because they blew the whole budget on Curt's luxurious accommodations) and Curt being so inattentive during her briefings he keeps forgetting to wear the high-tech rocket shoes she made him because [[SkewedPriorities they don't match his outfit]].

* UnrequitedTragicMaiden: In the tradition of Miss Moneypenny, on whom she's based, only taken UpToEleven because the character is also an awkward and shy nerd a la Q (unlike the canon Moneypenny who's usually implied to be fairly worldly). "Barb's Lament" is her song where she briefly fully admits her feelings for Curt go beyond that of a friend and colleague.

* IronLady: Takes this trope UpToEleven. The video that introduces her in the [=YouTube=] recording of the show outright calls her a "Boss B***h".

* ThoseWackyNazis: This trope taken UpToEleven.

* UglyAmericanStereotype: A wildly UpToEleven portrait of a pushy, rude, obnoxious EagleLand Type 2 American.

* HollywoodNerd

* UnrequitedTragicMaiden: In the tradition of Miss Moneypenny, on whom she's based, only taken UpToEleven because the character is also an awkward and shy HollywoodNerd a la Q (unlike the canon Moneypenny who's usually implied to be fairly worldly). "Barb's Lament" is her song where she briefly fully admits her feelings for Curt go beyond that of a friend and colleague.

* HenPeckedHusband: More frightened of ruining his anniversary dinner than getting shot.

* NotSoDifferent: Her plans for an automated worldwide surveillance system aren't actually that different from [[spoiler: Owen's]]; the only difference is she genuinely has good intentions and hasn't yet seen how easily such a system could be abused.

[[/folder]]

Cast in order of appearance:

!!Oleg:
!!! Actor: Creator/BrianRosenthal
* DirtyCommunists: Surprisingly enough for a Cold War spy story, he's the only named character who's a straight example of this trope in the whole play. (Tatiana turns out to be an apolitical DoubleAgent.)
* GogglesDoNothing: Is wearing safety goggles for no obvious reason in the ActionPrologue (possibly a gruesome implication he expects to be splashed with bodily fluids).
* SpareAMessenger: Is deliberately left alive by Curt and Owen so he can tell his superiors how badly the Soviets were screwed over by the US and UK in this operation.
* StarterVillain: Owen and Curt flawlessly working together to play him is our EstablishingCharacterMoment for both characters.
* TortureTechnician: Part of a duo of these threatening Agent Curt Mega in the first scene of the show -- unfortunately, one of them turns to be a disguised Owen Carvour.

!!Agent Curt Mega:

!!Agent Owen Carvour:
!!! Actor: Creator/JoeyRichter
* TheAce: He was AlwaysSomeoneBetter to Curt, and a constant object of admiration and comparison for him until Curt's carelessness killed him.
* [[spoiler:AntiVillain]]: [[spoiler:Owen is revealed to be the primary villain, but he only became evil after Curt left him for dead. It's hard to deny that he has a [[VillainHasAPoint legitimate grievance]] against the world of spycraft Curt represents, although the lengths to which he's taken it and the atrocities he's committed along the way make it hard to forgive him for any of it.]]
* BashBrothers: Made a perfect team with Curt, before his death. [[spoiler: Which is why he's become Curt's most dangerous enemy.]]
* [[spoiler:BestServedCold]]: [[spoiler: He's spent ''four years'' under a fake identity concocting an elaborate TakeOverTheWorld scheme, and for all his highfalutin language about [[NewEraSpeech ushering in a new era]], it's very clear his chief emotional motivation for all his crimes is vengeance against Curt for abandoning him.]]
* [[spoiler:BigBad]]: [[spoiler: Revealed to be after killing Von Nazi and removing his mask.]]
* [[spoiler:DiabolicalMastermind]]: [[spoiler: The actual mastermind of this story.]]
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: [[spoiler: Owen's fake torture of Curt while disguised as a Soviet agent in the ActionPrologue comes off a ''lot'' like a sex game.]]
* {{Expy}}: [[spoiler: Of Alec Trevelyan from ''Film/{{Goldeneye}}''. The ending also reveals he's one for Syndrome from ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'', with a plan to replace all spies like Curt with technology specifically to destroy his legacy.]]
* [[spoiler:EvilBrit]]: [[spoiler:Covers ''both'' variants of this trope -- he's a brutal Evil Cockney as the Deadliest Man Alive, while as himself he's a charming upper-class DiabolicalMastermind.]]
* EvilGloating: [[spoiler: In classic Bond villain style. He seems to have, in fact, done everything he's done for the past four years for the sole purpose of being able to deliver Curt a blistering BreakingSpeech -- and unlike many examples of this trope he's able to do so without giving the heroes an opportunity to stop him in the process, being, in fact, the Deadliest Man Alive.]]
* FakeBrit: American Joey Richter plays the upper class Brit Owen Carvour, [[spoiler: who also adopts a Cockney accent when played by Creator/JoeWalker as the Deadliest Man Alive.]]
* [[spoiler:AGodAmI]]: [[spoiler: He muses that once he owns all the secrets in the world, "I'll be God".]]
* IAmVeryBritish: Speaks in a sophisticated RP accent, and everything he says has an air of detached wit and erudition.
* IconicOutfit: [[spoiler: After revealing his true identity, he puts on the blue jacket he was wearing in the ActionPrologue over the DMA's brown muscle shirt and suddenly looks like "himself" again.]]
* [[spoiler:ItsPersonal]]: [[spoiler: His mad dream of putting the whole world under SinisterSurveillance isn't ''just'' ForTheEvulz -- it's a deliberate attempt to take total revenge on Curt Mega by making a mockery out of everything he's devoted his life to.]]
* [[spoiler:TheLostLenore]]: [[spoiler: His death wasn't just Curt's [[MyGreatestFailure greatest failure]] -- it left Curt permanently heartbroken from losing the only person he ever truly fell in love with.]]
* [[spoiler:TheManBehindTheMan]]: [[spoiler: Everything that's happened has been orchestrated by him on behalf of his mysterious employers in CHIMERA, to achieve their mad dream of a global SinisterSurveillance dystopia.]]
* MasterOfDisguise: Owen fools several Russians including Oleg in the opening scene. [[spoiler: His disguise as the Deadliest Man Alive is so convincing that he was [[CastAsAMask played by a different actor]].]]
* MyGreatestFailure: His death shattered Agent Mega's confidence and destroyed his career, sending him into a years-long downward spiral from which now he's only barely beginning to recover. [[spoiler: It didn't just shatter his confidence -- [[TheLostLenore it broke his heart]].]]
* [[spoiler:OnlyMostlyDead]]: [[spoiler: He did, in fact, survive the accident that Curt assumed had killed him. We don't know the details of what happened to him in his recovery, but apparently it was painful and traumatic enough that [[ThatManIsDead he considers it a death.]]]]
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He dies in the ActionPrologue, and only appears thereafter in Curt's brief PTSD {{Hallucinations}}, but his death is what triggered Curt's downward spiral and deprived the free world of ''two'' of their legendary super-spies, leading to the sorry state of the world today. [[spoiler: This turns out to be false -- Owen is the true identity of the Deadliest Man Alive and was the BigBad this whole time.]]
* TechnicianVsPerformer: He had this relationship with his partner Curt, being the thoughtful one who made the plans and provided the common sense and background research to clean up after the mistakes caused by Curt's recklessness. [[spoiler: After Curt's recklessness leaves him grievously wounded and Curt abandons him for dead, he decides to become an ultimate technician and devise a brutal new world order that will take power away from loose cannons like Curt permanently.]]
* [[spoiler:ThatManIsDead]]: [[spoiler: When Curt protests he watched Owen die, Owen calmly replies, "Part of me did."]]
* TortureTechnician: Disguises himself as one and hilariously fakes "torturing" Curt in the ActionPrologue to set up their ambush of Oleg. [[spoiler: Played horribly straight when he tortures Curt as the Deadliest Man Alive in "Torture Tango", although we don't find out this was a CallBack until after TheReveal.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler: TheReveal that Owen is the Deadliest Man Alive and that Owen and Curt were lovers is the main thing about this play everyone loves, and is why everyone who recommends it ''insists'' that you avoid all spoilers or online discussion before seeing it.]]


!!Redheaded Singer:

* AllKnowingSingingNarrator: She's obviously a different person than Tatiana due to the American accent, and she's basically an homage to the many instances of TheChanteuse in a classic Franchise/JamesBond ActionPrologue.

!!Director Cynthia Houston:
!!! Actor: Creator/LaurenLopez
* SixtiesHair: Lauren wears a very memorable wig to portray Cynthia's 1961 bob haircut.
* CigaretteOfAnxiety: Seems to be the reason behind her chain-smoking habit, and she's very self-aware about how self-destructive it is. "I've been poisoning myself a little bit every day since 1939."
* ContraltoOfDanger: Creator/LaurenLopez is a soprano, and Cynthia's singing voice is very much in this range, but her speaking voice is noticeably much deeper than Lauren's other characters (partly because of [[SmokyVoice her smoking]]).
* {{Expy}}: Of the female version of M played by Creator/JudiDench, who's appeared in all the Franchise/JamesBond films since ''Film/{{Goldeneye}}''. [[spoiler: (Notable because that film, which introduced the idea of a female head of [=MI6=], also introduces 006/Alec Trevelyan, the obvious inspiration for Owen.)]]
* HypocriticalHumor: Shows that she's shamelessly apolitical by chumming it up on the phone with both [[UsefulNotes/RichardNixon the loser]] and [[UsefulNotes/JohnFKennedy the winner]] of the recent 1960 presidential election.
* IronLady: Takes this trope UpToEleven. The video that introduces her in the [=YouTube=] recording of the show outright calls her a "Boss B***h".
* ManOfAThousandVoices: A BaitAndSwitch joke. She tells us she's a gifted vocal impressionist, and does a mean impression of JFK while on the phone with Richard Nixon to try to cheer him up after the election, only to then [[HypocriticalHumor end up on a phone call with the newly-elected JFK]], where she likewise tries to mollify him by offering to do an impression... and then tells him she can only do one of people with a [[HollywoodNewEngland Boston accent]].
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Lauren Lopez is fairly short even when in heels, but her character is BAD. ASS.
* PlayingGertrude: The fact that Cynthia has been smoking "since 1939" (22 years before the present day of 1961) means she has to be at least ten years older than her actor Creator/LaurenLopez, who was 30 when the show came out.
* SecretTest: She ''loves'' testing Agent Mega by springing deadly threats on him without warning and seeing how he reacts, without much thought for the collateral damage that might result.
* SinkOrSwimMentor: Literally a "Wear a bulletproof vest to every meeting with me or else die when I unexpectedly shoot you" mentor.
* SirSwearsALot: In a show where no one is particularly shy about dropping F-bombs, she still stands out. Her very first words (in the form of a written note) after the TimeSkip are "Don't fuck this up or I'll kill you myself".

!!Barb Larvernor:

!!Bartender:
!!! Actor: Creator/JoeWalker
* ObsessiveCompulsiveBarkeeping: Spends a whole seven-minute scene polishing the same shot glass, with the same intensity Joe Walker brings to every other role he has.

!!The Informant:

!!Deadliest Man Alive:

!!Sergio Santos:

!!Tatiana Slozhno:
!!! Actor: Mary Kate Wiles
* ActionGirl: She matches or outdoes Curt in general competence, and she's one of the very few people besides him who can take the Deadliest Man Alive in a fight.
* AgentsDating: Curt and Tatiana try this before very quickly deciding to just be friends.
* BetterAsFriends: After one AwkwardKiss, she and Curt decide this about their relationship. [[spoiler: Curt's orientation makes this the only possible option.]]
* ConnectedAllAlong: Although Tatiana had never met Agent Curt Mega before the events of the show, she ''has'' apparently met his ex-partner Owen [[NoodleIncident at some point]]... [[spoiler: judging by her shocked "Owen?" when the Deadliest Man Alive reveals his true face.]]
* DoubleAgent: Unbeknownst to Cynthia and the rest of the American intelligence community, Tatiana has gone rogue against the KGB and is secretly working for the Nazis, thanks to the Nazis using their surveillance network to threaten her family.
* EmotionlessGirl: She's extremely cold when Curt first meets her, her later warming up to him is all an act, and it's only after they're at his mom's safehouse that she genuinely opens up to him.
* {{Expy}}: She's a CompositeCharacter of all the {{Sensual Slav|s}} {{Bond Girl}}s who've appeared over the years. She shares a first name with Tatiana Romanova from ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove'', although her role is much more similar to that of Anya Amasova from ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe'', and her TykeBomb backstory (and her hair color) comes from ComicBook/BlackWidow. Her backstory of being [[ForcedIntoEvil blackmailed into betraying Curt]] is reminiscent of the backstory of Vesper Lynd from ''Film/CasinoRoyale''.
* EvilRedhead: Seems like one at first, but she's not so bad when you get to know her.
* FakeRussian: Played by American Creator/MaryKateWiles (which is already obvious to the audience because Wiles first appeared as [[TheChanteuse the American-accented Chanteuse]] in the ActionPrologue).
* FemmeFataleSpy: Comes off as a classic stereotype of one at first, although the "fatale" part is subverted.
* ForcedIntoEvil: Tatiana has no personal love for the Soviet regime and takes no pleasure in deception or killing, but has had no choice about her career since childhood. She has only contempt and hatred for Baron von Nazi and the Deadliest Man Alive, but has been forced to become a DoubleAgent for them -- at tremendous risk to her and her family's lives -- thanks to their surveillance program.
* HeroesWantRedheads: Subverted. She seems exactly like the kind of person Curt ''should'' want, a highly competent partner who deeply understands the angst and struggle that comes with his job, but he doesn't go for it. [[spoiler: His heart already belongs to someone who fits that description, [[HoYay with jet-black hair]].]]
* IHaveYourWife: Tatiana can't quit the spy game despite her desperate desire to because the bad guys are holding her family as leverage -- first the KGB themselves (with her family trapped behind the Iron Curtain and with all the civil liberties one might expect in Khruschev's USSR), then Baron von Nazi via his surveillance program.
* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: She's still in her evening gown from her night at the casino when she betrays Baron von Nazi to fight for Curt's survival, although most of the time this is subverted and she dresses in a practical jacket and pants when she's working.
* MotherRussiaMakesYouStrong: She makes a few comments along these lines, although it turns out the way Mother Russia made her strong was [[TykeBomb through trauma and abuse]].
* MysteriousWoman: When she first shows up neither Curt nor the audience knows anything about her, other than the obvious fact that she's Russian and a spy.
* ResignationsNotAccepted: Her whole problem is that as one of the KGB's special {{Tyke Bomb}}s, this trope applies to her.
* TheStoic: Her ice breaking when she chooses to save Curt is a major piece of CharacterDevelopment.
* SensualSlavs: Very much played up at first, then downplayed after she and Curt decide they're BetterAsFriends.
* TykeBomb: Went through something similar to the ComicBook/BlackWidow "Red Room" program, although unlike Black Widow she seems to have maintained her connection to her birth family. She's apparently been trained since she was ''four'' and deployed since she was ''thirteen''.
* VodkaDrunkenski: She taunts the other members of the team about their inability to match her shot-for-shot when they go on their bender.

!!Susan:
!!! Actor: Esther Fallick
* DecompositeCharacter: With Barb, of Miss Moneypenny. Barb is a CompositeCharacter of Q and Moneypenny who obviously has taken Moneypenny's traits of being a cute blonde girl with a hopeless crush on the protagonist; the joke is that therefore Cynthia's secretary ends up being another GenericGuy played by Esther Fallick.
* EatTheEvidence: Eats the note that Curt says to give to Cynthia, and also Curt's clearance badge at the end.
* ExtremeDoormat: Ends up ''taking a grenade'' for Curt and ambiguously dying of it (for no good reason, as one of Cynthia's abusive tests).
* GenderBlenderName: His name is Susan, but he's a man. (This could be chalked up to it being a last name.)
* SecretTest: Cynthia calls to her secretary Susan for a cup of coffee, only for a man to suddenly burst into her office and attack her -- only for her to reveal this was a test to see if Curt would intervene and, when he doesn't, has her address the man as "Susan" and dismiss him in disgust.

!!Richard Big:
!!! Actor: Creator/JoeWalker
* EveryoneHasStandards: The final punchline of the casino scene is that, despite his crude and brash behavior, Curt's bad temper and willingness to resort to violence in a public place actually shocks and offends him so badly he [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech tells him off for ruining everyone else's vacation experience]] and storms off in a huff.
* EverythingIsBigInTexas: He's a larger-than-life caricature of the idea of a "Texas oilman" millionaire.
* UglyAmericanStereotype: A wildly UpToEleven portrait of a pushy, rude, obnoxious EagleLand Type 2 American.

!!Dr Baron von Nazi

* AdolfHitlarious: The real Hitler is, of course, long dead at this point, but lives on in the Baron's memory and as his hand puppet.
* AristocratsAreEvil: And a more evil one than usual, since his noble family is apparently the "von Nazi" family.
* BigBadWannabe: It's painfully obvious from the first time we meet him that this guy is more of a clown than a threat, but we don't learn the details until [[spoiler: his henchman the Deadliest Man Alive executes him the instant he gets the land deed from the Prussian Sloviskians.]]
* CampStraight: A fan of flamboyant dance numbers, Von Nazi is nevertheless ambiguously straight. [[spoiler: An interesting juxtaposition to the StraightGay Curt and Owen]].
* ConsultingMisterPuppet: Talks to a hand puppet of his uncle Adolf Hitler whenever he needs to reassure himself and stroke his own ego.
* DamnedByFaintPraise: Part of the joke with his character is he never really makes much of an attempt to defend the Nazis' genocidal racism in and of itself, instead just deflecting to the generally-agreed-upon good things that happened under Nazi rule (the Autobahn, Volkswagen cars, Fanta soda) to argue "Nazis Are Not So Bad".
* {{Expy}}: A very loose one of classic Bond villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld, being a self-proclaimed DiabolicalMastermind with a much more physically imposing {{Dragon}} (the DMA standing in for Emilio Largo), and the whole initial ExcusePlot with the bomb being highly reminiscent of Blofeld's first film appearance in ''Film/{{Thunderball}}''. Also one for Hugo Drax of ''Literature/{{Moonraker}}'', the Bond villain known for being a former Nazi (although he only had this backstory in the original book).
** He is ''also'', of course, an obvious {{Expy}} of Creator/WillFerrell as Franz Liebkind performing the lead role in ''Springtime for Hitler'', in ''Film/TheProducers''.
* FourthReich: As is common in a spy thriller, there's apparently a whole faction of ThoseWackyNazis who [[TheRemnant survived World War II]] with [[WhereDoesHeGetAllThoseWonderfulToys a huge amount of intact resources]] determined to establish a new fascist regime in another country. [[spoiler: And they don't know they're just a figurehead being manipulated by TheManBehindTheMan, the Deadliest Man Alive and CHIMERA.]]
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: He's ''Doctor'' Baron von Nazi, to you.
* NoNameGiven: Presumably "Doctor" and "Baron" are both titles, meaning his actual first name remains unknown throughout the show.
* NWordPrivileges: Many commenters have pointed out a huge factor in TCB getting away with this character is it's very well-known Brian Rosenthal, who plays him, is Jewish, as is director Corey Lubowich.
* SissyVillain: He keeps glitter up his sleeve and does self indulgent musical numbers complete with back up dancer henchpeople. The homophobic elements of this trope are interestingly played with in that while the "manly" hero squares off against the sissy villain, [[spoiler: Curt]] is textually gay, and Von Nazi is ambiguously straight.
* SpinOffspring: Hitler famously didn't have any biological kids (at least, none that he acknowledged), so having a nephew take up his mantle is the next best thing. (Slightly TruthInTelevision, since Hitler had two nephews by his half-brother Alois Jr. in RealLife -- one of whom, William, famously defected to the Allies while the other, Heinz, was a loyal Nazi who died in the Eastern Front in the war.)
* ThoseWackyNazis: This trope taken UpToEleven.
* VillainousUnderdog: Incredibly, he seems to see Germany as the real victim of World War II and the USSR and USA as the aggressors and oppressors, and just blithely refuses to acknowledge why no one agrees with his slogan "The Nazis are not so bad".

!! Vanger Borschtit
!!! Actor: Creator/JoeyRichter
* LargeHam: As befits the NDROSPS's biggest (and, implicitly, only) TV and radio personality.
* SixtiesHair: Has a very distinctive Beatles-style bowl cut.
* StepfordSmiler: Seems to be marginally more aware than his countrymen about how humiliating it is to be ruled by Prince Feurgin and to be gritting his teeth and smiling through the pain of this knowledge.

!!Vladimir Poopin:
!!! Actor: Creator/BrianRosenthal
* EvilCounterpart: We don't get much evidence about how evil he is but he's obviously just the {{Dirty Communist|s}} version of Cynthia.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: His name, demeanor and position as a high-ranking Soviet intelligence officer are all, of course, a reference to UsefulNotes/VladimirPutin, although the real Putin was only nine years old at the time this story takes place.
* ToiletHumor: His name, of course, is an intentionally IncrediblyLamePun.

!! Prince Feurgin:

!!Prussian Diplomat:

!! The Prime Minister:

!! Mama Mega
!!! Actor: Creator/LaurenLopez
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Curt predictably finds her to be this; heroic secret agent or no heroic secret agent, she's unhesitant about sharing embarrassing stories from his childhood.
* HiddenDepths: Her hobby of puttering around with arts and crafts apparently translates to being very skilled at forging official documents.
* SeinfeldianConversation: In her old age she apparently finds it impossible to keep in mind that the future of the free world is at stake and has a higher priority than her issues with her broken fridge or her hopes that Curt will give her grandchildren.
* ShipperOnDeck: Is extremely enthusiastic about the idea of Curt and Tatiana getting married, despite their protests.

* MasterOfDisguise: Owen fools several Russians including Oleg in the opening scene. [[spoiler: His disguise as the Deadliest Man Alive is so convincing that he was [[CastAsAMask played by a different actor]:.]]

* SirSwearsALot: In a show where no one is particularly shy about dropping F-bombs, she still stands out. Her very first words (in the form of a written note) in the show are "Don't fuck this up or I'll kill you myself".

* [[spoiler:AGodAmI]:: [[spoiler: He muses that once he owns all the secrets in the world, "I'll be God".]]

* [[spoiler:EvilBrit]:: [[spoiler:Covers ''both'' variants of this trope -- he's a brutal Evil Cockney as the Deadliest Man Alive, while as himself he's a charming upper-class DiabolicalMastermind.]]

!!! Actor: Curt Mega

* AgentsDating: Curt and Tatiana try this before very quickly deciding to just be friends. [[spoiler: Curt and Owen in the past.]]

* AntiVillain: [[spoiler:Owen is revealed to be the primary villain, but he only became evil after Curt left him for dead. It's hard to deny that he has a [[VillainHasAPoint legitimate grievance]] against the world of spycraft Curt represents, although the lengths to which he's taken it and the atrocities he's committed along the way make it hard to forgive him for any of it.]]

* BestServedCold: [[spoiler: He's spent ''four years'' under a fake identity concocting an elaborate TakeOverTheWorld scheme, and for all his highfalutin language about [[NewEraSpeech ushering in a new era]], it's very clear his chief emotional motivation for all his crimes is vengeance against Curt for abandoning him.]]
* BigBad: [[spoiler: Revealed to be after killing Von Nazi and removing his mask.]]
* DiabolicalMastermind: [[spoiler: The actual mastermind of this story.]]

* EvilBrit: [[spoiler: Covers ''both'' variants of this trope -- he's a brutal Evil Cockney as the Deadliest Man Alive, while as himself he's a charming upper-class DiabolicalMastermind.]]

* FakeBrit: American Joey Richter plays the upper class Brit Owen Carvour [[spoiler: who also adopts a Cockney accent when played by Creator/JoeWalker as the Deadliest Man Alive.]]
* AGodAmI: [[spoiler: He muses that once he owns all the secrets in the world, "I'll be God".]]

* ItsPersonal: [[spoiler: His mad dream of putting the whole world under SinisterSurveillance isn't ''just'' ForTheEvulz -- it's a deliberate attempt to take total revenge on Curt Mega by making a mockery out of everything he's devoted his life to.]]
* TheLostLenore: [[spoiler: His death wasn't just Curt's [[MyGreatestFailure greatest failure]] -- it left Curt permanently heartbroken from losing the only person he ever truly fell in love with.]]
* ManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler: Everything that's happened has been orchestrated by him on behalf of his mysterious employers in CHIMERA, to achieve their mad dream of a global SinisterSurveillance dystopia.]]
* MasterOfDisguise: Owen fools several Russians including Oleg in the opening scene. [[spoiler: His disguise as the Deadliest Man Alive is so convincing that he was played by a different actor.]]
* MyGreatestFailure: His death shattered Agent Mega's confidence and destroyed his career, sending him into a years-long downward spiral from which now he's only barely beginning to recover. [[spoiler: It didn't just shatter his confidence -- it [[TheLostLenore broke his heart]].]]
* OnlyMostlyDead: [[spoiler: He did, in fact, survive the accident that Curt assumed killed him. We don't know the details of what happened to him in his recovery, but apparently it was painful and traumatic enough that [[ThatManIsDead he considers it a death.]]]]

* ThatManIsDead: [[spoiler: When Curt protests he watched Owen die, Owen calmly replies, "Part of me did."]]

* HypocriticalHumor: Shows that she's shamelessly apolitical by chumming it up on the phone with both the [[UsefulNotes/RichardNixon loser]] and [[UsefulNotes/JohnFKennedy winner]] of the recent 1960 presidential election.

* DisguisedInDrag: A pre-transition Esther Fallick does a memorably bad job of portraying a woman.
