History Characters / TheAwesomes

* SuperHeroOrigin: In "Baby Got Backstory".

* DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: Subverted. He tries to play it up this way to [[spoiler:Perfect Man, explaining his mother had to be separated from him and his origins hidden in order to protect the world, but Perfect Man plays it off, citing that he did it entirely for himself and his own image]].

* BoldlyComing: Muscleman has a fetish for alien women, caring little about what species; he'll do anything from {{Human Alien}}s to StarfishAliens. And beyond; in one episode, he's shown having sex with what appears to be a potted plant with eyes. He even faces an intergalactic paternity suit in "From Here To Paternity", with implications that this isn't the first time this has happened to him.

* CloudCuckooLander: He's not all there, being quite hyper and kooky.

* CatchPhrase: "Damn it!"

* StoutStrength: They're very strong for their size.

* CoolLoser: Prock is intelligent, dedicated, loyal, relatively mature, and he's not bad looking despite the jokes, but from the way the others talk, you'd think he was the biggest loser on the planet. Before the series started, his love life amounted to A: supervillains who were using him to get close enough to kill his father or B: one spin-the-bottle kiss with Muscle Man's crazy sister.

* OfficialCouple: [[spoiler:Gets together with Prock in "Euro-Awesomes" after revealing she's still alive. In Season 3, they end up having daughter together]].

* OfficialCouple: [[spoiler:Gets together with Prock in "Euro-Awesomes" after revealing she's still alive.]]

* BreakTheHaughty: Perfect Man seems to be going through one. He's convicted of treason (though his ego and racism played a big part in letting that happen), he's passed over as a new member and is forcibly confined to the tower since he's a fugitive and found that most of the team thinks he's a joke.

* HeroicBastard: Turns out [[spoiler:he's Mr. Awesome's son]].

!!Supervillans

* GreenLanternRing: His powers. However, his conjurings always resemble his mom.

%%* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass

* SuperZeroes: More in how crazy they are than how useless they are.

* {{Expy}}: Of the ComicBook/IncredibleHulk. He's also got elements of [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} Billy Batson]] to him, as he's a young boy whose superhero form is a grown adult.

* AwesomeMcCoolName: His last name is literally Awesome. UpToEleven when you add in his doctorate, making him DOCTOR Awesome.

* ThinkingOutLoud: A majority of the time he will use his time stopping ability for soliloquy for the seconds he has or to express his thoughts for the audience.
* TimeStandsStill: His power. As noted above, if he uses it in excess he'll die.

* HyperCompetentSidekick: Concierge is technically just the Awesomes' support staff - ''all'' of the support staff - but is one of the most reliable and useful members of the team. In the second season, she's promoted to full membership, complete with costume.

* NotSoAboveItAll: By her own admission she takes drugs, and can be as immature as the rest of the team.

* MakeMeWannaShout: His super power is supersonic screams.

* StartOfDarkness: "Hotwire's Funeral"

Hotwire and Junior's mother, as well as Dr. Malocchio wife.

* AxCrazy: Has shades of it [[spoiler:Becomes fully unhinged after breaking up with Prock, though she gets over it after he explains what really happened.]]

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:His getting the Awesomes sacked by making them look bad gets rid of his biggest threat... but also gets his new version of the team slapped with plenty of red tape, forcing him to run for president to get it taken down]].

* ManipulativeBastard: As a villain. He successfully works events so that the Awesomes fail horribly on Valentine's Day, destroying their confidence and making them look bad in the public eye. He later uses Prock's need for his approval to manipulate him into getting him into the Oval Office.

-->'''Jeremy:''' Mom, Dad, this is Gloria. And-- Wait, no, she's obviously an evil robot.\\
'''Gloria:''' Die, Mr. Awesome. ''(to Jeremy)'' I did have real feelings for you.\\

* BoldlyComing: Muscleman has a fetish for alien women, caring little about what species; he'll do anything from {{Human Alien}}s to StarfishAliens. And beyond; in one episode, he's shown having sex with what appears to be a potted plant with eyes. He even faces an intergalactic paternity suit in "From Here To Paternity".

* {{Expy}}: Powers-wise, he's one of ComicBook/GreenLantern. Looks-wise, he's evocative of Blue Raja from ''Film/MysteryMen''.

* BlessedWithSuck: Prock's only power is being able to [[TimeStandsStill stop time]], but his doctor warns that using it too much ''will'' kill him eventually. [[spoiler:When a villain uses AppliedPhlebotinum to copy the power, we see just how dangerous the power really is to its user.]]
* ButtMonkey: Tends to get dumped on by the general public and his own team.

* CrazyPrepared: Prock qualifies as he has plans on how to defeat each member of the Awesomes (even himself) aside from Concierge in case they turn evil. He also has the Hologram Room protected so none of the team members can break out of it with their powers and has a system that can cover his team in a holographic disguise when they're in Awesome Mountain.

* ThinkingOutLoud: A majority of the time he will use his time stopping ability for soliloquy for the seconds he has or to express his thoughts for the audience.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Mr. Awesome treated Perfect Man as the son he never had, despite Prock trying hard in his own way. [[spoiler:Though he eventually earns his father's respect at the end of Season 1, and his father tells him so at the end of Season 3.]]
