A powerless villain who can sleep for extended periods of time. He is a member of the Villain Society who helps keep an eye on unsuccessful Mischief Makers.

* LazyBum: He claims napping for long stretches of time is his [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway superpower]] and the only reason why he's even a villain in the first place is because he got fired from his pizzeria job for falling asleep too much.
* RepetitiveName: Whoever thought '''Tim'''my '''Tim'''-Bo was ever a good supervillain name?
* SurferDude: Talks in this tone.

[[folder:The Whammer]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/whammer.jpg]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JohnCMcGinley
A muscle-bound man with the power to make powerful sonic booms by bringing his fists together. He inserts the word "wham" or variations thereof at least once into each sentence such as "Wow, that was so whammer!" no matter how nonsensical.

[[folder:Lady Redundant Woman / Beatrice Bixby]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lady_redundant_woman.jpg]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AmandaPlummer (first appearance), Creator/GreyDeLisle
Beatrice Bixby works in a copy shop and is bitterly jealous of the star employee, Dave. She obsessively cleans and maintains a copy machine, doting on it like it's her child. After curiously pressing a mysterious BigRedButton on the machine, she becomes Lady Redundant Woman and wreaks havoc.

* AchillesHeel: She needs to touch her nose to use her powers. Also, she can't use her powers if her ink supply runs low or if her ink cartridges are removed.
* AllGirlsLikePonies: She can be seen watching "The Pretty Princess and Magic Pony Power Hour".
* AlliterativeName: Fittingly enough for her theme, the letter "B" appears thrice in her name.
* ArtInitiatesLife: By eating or looking at an image, she can bring it to life.
* BerserkButton:
** Dave receiving praise. And Dave period.
** Messing with her beloved copy machine.
** If someone claims copies are no good compared to originals.
** Whenever she gets cut in line. Repeatedly.
* DarkActionGirl: She's able to beat the crap out of Captain Huggyface while her powers are disabled.
* DemotedToExtra: Lacks any speaking or major roles in Seasons 6 and 8.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: She constantly repeats herself in different ways. For example: "You are beaten, defeated, vanquished!" or "Hi, hello, aloha." This also extends to her crimes, as [[{{Idiosyncrazy}} she tends to steal multiple things that are extremely similar to each other]] (such as a couch, sofa, and futon). Even her villain name "Lady Redundant Woman" is redundant since "lady" and "woman" are both words to describe a woman.
* DoppelgangerAttack: Basically all of her attacks.
* EasilyForgiven: Whenever she's released from jail, Dave gives her job back.
* EvilIsPetty: She's very bitter and spiteful towards her BenevolentBoss Dave out of jealousy and minor faults.
* GreenEyedMonster: For Dave.
* {{Idiosyncrazy}}: Copying machines and redundancy.
* InnerMonologue: Whenever she's Beatrice, she will sometimes talk to herself whenever she's annoyed or feels slighted, complete with the background fading out of focus during her thoughts.
* TheInsomniac: Implied, as she is the only character with lines and dark circles under her eyes.
* KillItWithWater: Her clones are made of ink and paper, and thus will dissolve if they touch water.
* MesACrowd: Her copies turn into paper when destroyed, and she can make them disappear if she feels like it.
* SelfDuplication: She has this power.
* SingleMindedTwins: Though not twins, and inverted by the presence of Dupey in "The Young And The Meatless", her clones frequently exhibit identical movements as their original, while saying the exact same thing. This is likely just a case of reducing animation and voice acting costs, even though it doesn't make sense for LRW's copies to know exactly what she's going to say, how she's going to say it, and how she's going to move while saying it when she does. They only have their own personalities (such as Dupey) when it's needed for the plot.

[[folder:Mr. Big / Shelly Smalls]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mr_big_intriguing.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:BUNNIES!]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JeffreyTambor
A smug, childish, and greedy businessman out to line his pockets with even more money than he already has. He usually relies on mind control devices to achieve his goals, though on occasion has tried other means with little success.

* AlliterativeName: His real name, Shelly Smalls, repeats the letter "S".
* BerserkButton: '''DO NOT''' gloat about how much richer or bigger you are than him. He won't take it well.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He's a big ol' goof who's childishly obsessed with bunnies, but manage to piss him off, and your mind and free will forcibly become his new plaything.
* ChildHater: Isn't fond of children, though he tries to be friendly to them in public.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Is the head of his business but also actively goes out of his way to do immoral deeds to get richer.
* ConArtist: Not as bad as Seymour, but some of his schemes include using mind control to force people to buy his bogus products.
* CutenessProximity: For squishy things, mainly bunnies.
* DickDastardlyStopsToCheat: Could've carried out his scheme in "Ears to You" very legitimately, but throws in mind control just for the hell of it. This is even lampshaded by Mr. Big himself.
-->'''[=WordGirl=]:''' Now why would you try that...?\\
'''Mr. Big:''' Hey, you can't get to the end of a Mr. Big story and not have any mind control.
* DominoMask: Is never seen without it, even on vacation.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: Possibly an issue for him, as his real name is revealed to be Shelly Smalls in "Truth, Revision, and the Lexiconian Way".
* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: [[HypocriticalHumor Leslie has stated outright that Mr. Big has no sense of humor]], though this is more out of not understanding the concept of a set-up and punchline rather than being a cold-hearted felon.
* EvilIsHammy: He chews up the scenery like no other villain, though his hamminess is balanced by Leslie's monotone and dull attitude.
* EvilIsPetty: Took over the minds of everyone on Earth once, just because his neighbor borrowed his casserole dish for a little too long.
* {{Greed}}: He's already rich, as he's the head of a multi-million company, and could live very comfortably. He does what he does because he wants more money, and that's it. He also takes time out of every day to count his money, an activity he looks forward to.
* GreenAndMean: He's a scheming, {{greed}}y businessman who sports some green. His mind-controlled victims also sport green eyes.
* {{Malaproper}}: He explains that he only ever took business classes.
* {{Manchild}}: He's one of the most powerful villains but he's childishly petty, whines and throws tantrums if he's in a bad mood or loses, and is very attached to bunnies.
* MassHypnosis: Most of his schemes and episodes featuring him involve this.
* MindControl: It's in his business plan.
* MindControlDevice: His main weapon. He uses them so much that [=WordGirl=] gets genuinely confused when he appears to not have a mind control device in "Mr. Big's Big Plan".
* OutlawCouple: With Leslie, although rather than a romantic partner, she's his overworked, underpaid, and underappreciated assistant.
* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: In "Big Business", he more or less admits that his company doesn't actually ''do'' anything besides his mind control schemes.
* RealMenWearPink: He has a love for squishy bunny toys. Sometimes they factor into his evil schemes, like in "Invasion of the Bunny Lovers".
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Doesn't care to do anything legally cause he's richer than anyone.
* SharpDressedMan: The guy cleans up nicely.
* UnEvilLaugh: Compared to the other villains, Mr Big's laugh is usually awkward and clunky.
* UnfortunateNames: With a name like "Shelly Smalls", it's no wonder he insists on being called "Mr. Big".
* VillainousFriendship: With Leslie, who is someone he's shown he absolutely needs. Also with Two-Brains.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: He's basically the [[ComicBook/{{Superman}} Lex Luthor]] of ''[=WordGirl=]''.

[[folder:Leslie]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zoopspng.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MariaBamford
Mr. Big's personal assistant, who does most of the heavy lifting in his schemes.

* AllGirlsLikePonies: She is a fan of "The Pretty Princess and Magic Pony Power Hour".
* ApatheticClerk: So apathetic in fact that her voice is [[DullSurprise completely monotone even when she's happy]].
%%* TheBaroness
* BeleagueredAssistant: Sometimes expresses that her greatest wish is for Mr. Big to ''notice'' her.
* BerserkButton: Getting the name or details of "The Pretty Princess and Magic Pony Power Hour" wrong.
* CannotConveySarcasm: Due to her monotone voice, it is sometimes hard for characters to tell whether or not she's being sarcastic. Even she has a hard time figuring it out at times.
-->'''Leslie:''' Brilliant as usual, sir.\\
'''Mr. Big:''' Thank you, Les-- Wait... are you being sarcastic?\\
'''Leslie:''' ''[Beat]'' I can't tell anymore, sir.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: She isn't as much of a snarker and doesn't speak in a monotone in "Mr. Big".
* DarkActionGirl: She knows karate and was a gymnast, and can fight evenly with Captain Huggyface.
* DeadpanSnarker: The only state of mind she ever seems to be in, Leslie ''always'' has a scathing remark ready for her boss.
* DominoMask: Starts wearing one in "Leslie Makes It Big".
* TheDragon: To Mr. Big.
%%* DullEyesOfUnhappiness
* EmotionlessGirl: She even ''laughs'' in monotone. The emotion she is most likely to ever express is annoyance.
* EvilMinions: To Mr. Big.
* HypercompetentSidekick: To Mr. Big.
* LadyInAPowerSuit: She wears a red pantsuit.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: In "Leslie Makes It Big", ''everyone'' assumes she can't possibly be a threat without Mr. Big to guide her. She proves them all wrong.
%%* OnlySaneWoman
* OutlawCouple: With Mr. Big.
* PluckyOfficeGirl: She's much better at coming up with effective plans than Mr. Big, but he rarely ever takes her suggestions.
* PunchClockVillain: She doesn't seem to care that much whether or not Mr. Big's plans succeed. After all, she does this because it's her job, not because she wants to. Although she ''does'' have quite a bit of fun with villainy when she tries it on her own in "Leslie Makes It Big".
* SecretaryOfEvil: Besides the many other things she does for him, she's also the secretary at Mr. Big's company.
%%* SexySecretary
* TookALevelInBadass: Becomes even more dangerous in "Leslie Makes It Big".
* UnEvilLaugh: Given her monotone nature, it's even worse than her boss's.
* VocalEvolution: As mentioned above, she didn't speak in monotone in her early appearances, as her characterization hadn't been fully decided on yet.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NedBellamy

[[folder:The Whammer]]

->'''First Appearance:''' "Thorn in the Sidekick" ([=S1 E16a=])
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JohnCMcGinley
A muscle-bound man with the power to make powerful sonic booms by bringing his fists together. He inserts the word "wham" or variations thereof at least once into each sentence such as "Wow, that was so whammer!" no matter how nonsensical.

* AbsurdPhobia: The episode "Silence of the Whams" reveals The Whammer is afraid of bubbles. This is because bubbles are the only things he cannot wham.
* BoisterousBruiser: You'd be hard-pressed to find a more bombastic character on the show.
* {{Crunchtastic}}: His tendency to use the word "wham" tends to lead to adjectives like this ("whammin'" being a particular favorite of his).
* DemotedToExtra: Lacks any speaking or major roles in Season 8.
* DumbMuscle: Whatever he lacks in brains, he definitely makes up for it in his strength.
%%* TheFool
* GaleForceSound: Powerful enough to shatter rock and send [=WordGirl=] flying. It can also cancel out Victoria Best's MagicMusic.
* HornyVikings: He doesn't claim to be a Viking, but he does wear the helmet.
* LargeHam: '''Wham!'''
* LogicalWeakness: He needs to bring his fists together to create his shockwaves so keeping his arms apart or tying them up would render him powerless.
* NoIndoorVoice: He always speaks at a level that's almost yelling.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Often annoys fellow villains this way, especially Chuck.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: He may be an idiot, but there's no denying that he's one of the most powerful characters in the series. In "Crime In The Key Of V", he easily reduces the city to rubble.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Manly Man to Chuck's Sensitive Guy.
* SuperStrength: He can wham the entire city into rubble easily.
* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: In "The Power of Whamship", he and the similarly [[TheDitz ditzy]] and [[NoIndoorVoice loud]] Invisi-Bill team up. They have the time of their life, and even accept their arrest with a smile, as they'll get to be roommates in jail.
* VerbalTic: The word "wham".
* VillainsOutShopping: Towards the end of "As Something as Something", he's playing basketball with a couple of cops and Big Left Hand Guy.

[[folder:Ms. Question]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ms_question_smirk.png]]
->'''First Appearance:''' "Villain School" ([=S1 E23b=])
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/GreyDeLisle
A woman obsessed with questions. She always speaks in the form of a question and uses confusion and chaos to get away with her crimes. After being struck by lightning, she gained the ability to make her foes temporarily forget everything, even who they are.

* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: A subtle example as the curls in her hair look like question marks.
* BerserkButton: The phrase "No questions asked".
* {{Bizarrchitecture}}: "Seeds of Doubt" reveals that her lair resembles an Creator/MCEscher painting.
* ConfusionFu: Her power is ''literally'' to cause confusion. Aside from that, she tries to confuse the people she robs by [[MotorMouth asking them a rapid series of confusing questions]].
* TheDogBitesBack: In "Who Is Ms. Question?", she gets kicked out of Villain School for not having superpowers (despite the Coach [[{{Hypocrite}} not having any of his own either]]. Once she gains her amnesia powers, she tests her new abilities on the Coach first.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In "Who Is Ms. Question?", characters affected by Ms. Question's amnesia beam would have their heads turn into giant question marks. In later episodes, they instead get [[CirclingBirdies small question marks that circle their head]].
* EasyAmnesia: Can fire a beam that gives whoever it hits temporary amnesia.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She gets in a relationship with Brent, and genuinely seems to love him.
* {{Expy}}: Her costume and obsession with questions are taken from [[Characters/BatmanTheRiddler the Riddler]].
* FoodBasedSuperpowers: "Seeds of Doubt" reveals that Ms. Question can fire her question beams at food, causing anyone who eats it to get amnesia as if they were hit by the beam directly.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: She started out as a small-time crook and failed supervillain graduate with no powers. Then, in "Who is Ms. Question?", she gained [[EasyAmnesia the power of confusion]] and became a recurring, credible threat.
* GlorySeeker: "Ms. Question's Riddle Rampage" reveals that her criminal behavior is largely motivated by a desire to become famous (implied to be because of her former status as a small-time criminal).
* {{Idiosyncrazy}}: Questions, confusion.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Ms. Question is able to control which memories are blocked out by her beam. In "Questionable Behavior", she takes advantage of this to get people to tell her their deepest, darkest secrets.
* LightningCanDoAnything: She got her confusion-inducing and SkySurfing abilities after being struck by a bolt of lightning from a question mark-shaped cloud which got lampshaded by the Narrator.
-->'''Narrator:''' Don't worry kids. That's not dangerous lightning, it's just strong enough to cause superpowers.
* {{Leitmotif}}: A parody of the ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}'' thinking music and her power is usually signified by bell clanging.
* SigilSpam: After gaining her powers, she fires her confusion beam through her question mark chest insignia which shoots out question marks that leave [[CirclingBirdies question marks swirling around her victims' heads]] and [[SkySurfing rides a giant question mark]] (also from her insignia) for a quick getaway. Her hair even has QuirkyCurls in the shape of question marks.
* SkySurfing: She rides on a giant question mark.
* StrangeSyntaxSpeaker: Does she speak entirely in questions? Yes, she does (with a few exceptions, such as when she's answering someone else's question).
* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Originally, Ms. Question was just a villain-in-training at the Coach's old villain school who only talked in questions and had no other "powers" of any kind.

[[folder:Invisi-Bill]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/invisibill_letter.png]]
->'''First Appearance:''' Who is Ms Question? ([=S2 E18a=])
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HJonBenjamin
A man with the power to turn invisible at will. His constant need for attention often ends up ruining every crime he's a part of.

* AmbiguouslyGay: Invisi-Bill is extremely close to his partner in crime Big Left Hand Guy and it's implied he lives with him in the latter's studio apartment. This is especially apparent when Invisi-Bill vents his frustrations about Big Left leaving him behind or not giving him enough attention like an underappreciated boyfriend in "The Invisi-Bill Hand" or often hugging him and holding his hand in "Plain Old Mischief Makers". Let's not forget his [[TheDandy flamboyant]] [[AwesomeAnachronisticApparel dress-sense]].
* AttentionWhore: He even stated he ''needs'' attention which is made obvious by him constantly declaring his name and intentions out loud without prompt. While it seems to have {{Invisibility}} as a [[PowerStereotypeFlip superpower]] does not help his case, Invisi-Bill loves [[StealthHiBye rapidly disappearing and reappearing]] like a hyperactive kid with a lightswitch to make it more flashy.
* AwesomeAnachronisticApparel: Even for the RetroUniverse setting of the show, Invisi-Bill's late Victorian-century-styled suit with an ascot stands out amongst the more timeless outfits and outlandish villain costumes though given his [[AttentionWhore personality]], it makes sense that he wants to stand out.
* DemotedToExtra: He doesn't get any speaking or major episodes in seasons 4 and 8.
* TheDitz: The fact that he once tried to call a taxi while invisible says it all.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: When he first uses his powers onscreen, Invisi-Bill noticeably fades away instead of suddenly vanishing like how he reappears from the second time onwards.
* {{Invisibility}}: He isn't called [[PunnyName Invisi-Bill]] for nothing so naturally, turning invisible is his main shtick...
* InvisibilityWithDrawbacks: ...However, it does come with a catch as he's incapable of turning the stuff he stole invisible and thus has to ditch them if he wants to escape unnoticed, defeating the purpose of his thievery in the first place. The same goes for additional accessories or disguises since only his regular outfit and glasses count as a part of himself and humorously leaving behind a hat and mustache or jewelry suspended in midair.
* HiddenDepths: On rare occasions, he lowers his happy-go-lucky attitude to show a more vulnerable side when he gets ignored or left behind, proclaiming he needs attention and wishes to be acknowledged. It's also shown in "Plain Old Mischief Makers" that he's more literate and a better reader than [[OnlySaneMan Big Left Hand Guy]] despite his [[TheDitz ditzy]] {{Manchild}} self.
* {{Keet}}: He's lively, hyper and almost seems too nice to be a villain.
* LogicalWeakness: While he's able to make himself as well as his clothes and glasses invisible, Invisi-Bill is unable to make ''anything else'' invisible so he has to ditch whatever stolen goods he has on hand to remain undetected if he doesn't want to be a floating loot bag, jewelry or monkey that gets easily caught.
* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Along with Big Left Hand Guy.
* NerdGlasses: He's a dorky guy who wears glasses.
* NoIndoorVoice: Likes to yell things at the top of his lungs, especially his own name.
* PowerStereotypeFlip: Characters with {{Invisibility}} are commonly portrayed as [[ShrinkingViolet quiet, shy, and asocial]]. Invisi-Bill is the exact opposite: loud, energetic, and a social butterfly.
* PunnyName: His supervillain name is a {{Portmanteau}} of the words "Invisible" (His power) and "Bill" (His real name) to make "Invisi-Bill".
* RememberTheNewGuy: Unlike the rest of the school, Invisi-Bill is introduced in season 2 at the graduation ceremony as opposed to the previous season at its foundation and yet is treated as if he was always there to the point he replaces Timmy Tim-Bo from the original student trio.
* SignatureSoundEffect: An echoey pop sound that gets reversed whenever he turns on and off his {{Invisibility}}, usually in rapid-fire motion.
* StealthHiBye: Though more "Hi/Bye" than "Stealth" from repeatedly vanishing into thin air with a lively "Goodbye!", only to reappear with an equally joyful "Hello!" shortly after as a [[CharacterTic habit]].
* TeleportSpam: Invisi-Bill's power isn't {{Teleportation}} but he might as well be from how frequently he turns off and on his {{Invisibility}} combined with his boundless energy letting him change places absurdly fast to sell the illusion.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Refers to himself this way as he loves hearing his own name that much.
* VillainTeamUp: He's notable for never going solo and instead teams up with other baddies from the Coach's Villain School in all his appearances. His partnerships include Big Left Hand Guy in "The Invisi-Bill Hand" and "Plain Old Mischief Makers", Ms. Question in "A Questionable Pair" and The Whammer in "The Power of Whamship".
* VerbalTic: His own name as well as "YAY!"
* WithCatlikeTread: The {{Irony}} of having {{Invisibility}} is that Invisi-Bill can't be stealthy to save his life because of (a) his [[LargeHam bombastic,]] [[AttentionWhore attention-seeking]] [[PowerStereotypeFlip personality]] rendering anything sneaky pointless and (b) only his clothes and glasses disappear alongside himself so he has to drop the stolen goods for a clean getaway from [=WordGirl=].

* AffectionateNickname: Endearingly called "Big-Left" by Invisi-Bill and "BLHG" that one time.
* DemotedToExtra: Lacks any speaking or major roles after Season 5.

* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: He's a guy with a really big left hand.
* MundaneUtility: Big Left Hand Guy is capable of using his big left hand to perform feats of SuperStrength... but he mainly uses it to hail taxi cabs which [=WordGirl=] lampshades.
* OnlySaneMan: Out of the graduates, he's the most normal and rational villain who plays off the goofier ones like [[StrangeSyntaxSpeaker Ms. Question]], [[LazyBum Timmy Tim-Bo]] and especially [[AttentionWhore Invisi-Bill]].

->'''First Appearance:''' Villain School ([=S1 E23b=])
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JamesAdomian
A powerless villain who can sleep for extended periods of time. He is a member of the Villain Society who helps keep an eye on unsuccessful Mischief Makers.

* AbnormalAllergy: He's deadly allergic to butter which means he can't have a slice of The Whammer's freshly-baked butter stick pie, seriously bumming him out.
* DemotedToExtra: After his debut in season 1, Timmy doesn't have any major episodes onwards and is relegated to the occasional non-speaking cameos with Invisi-Bill taking up his spot in The Coach's Villain School after he dropped out.
* LazyBum: He claims napping for long stretches of time is his [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway superpower]] and the only reason why he's even a villain in the first place is because he got fired from his pizzeria job for falling asleep too much.
* RepetitiveName: Whoever thought '''Tim'''my '''Tim'''-Bo was ever a good supervillain name?
* SurferDude: Talks in this tone.
