* GenreSavvy: Of the ProperlyParanoid type. Ted knew better than to just slap a piece of alien technology onto his back and hope for the best.

* AllThereInTheManual: If you thought his cameo in ''Homefront'' was out of leftfield, the tie-in comics explain that he was the team's instructor in covert ops and they cleared his name after he was accused of war crimes during the Vietnam War, which allowed him to reestablish contact with his estranged wife and adult children, so he knows the team, is grateful to them, and would be just as concerned as their other mentors when they realized something was wrong at Mount Justice. The tie-in comics also establish that Captain Atom was one of the first superheroes Jaime met, probably suggested him for recruitment, and Jaime respected him enough that he wanted to consult him before joining the team.

%%Spoilering trope titles is against the spoiler policy. See Administrivia/HandlingSpoilers for more details.
This page is for listing tropes related to members of the organization known as the [[Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica Justice League]] in the animated series WesternAnimation/YoungJustice.
For other characters that appear in the series, see the [[Characters/YoungJustice Young Justice Character Index]].
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:In General]]
* AdultsAreUseless: Generally averted. The incident with Red Tornado stands out as an example of where they ''should'' be far more competent, but otherwise they are pretty on the ball.
* BackForTheFinale: The six that were in Rimbor, Hawkman, Icon and the Franchise/GreenLantern members that joined them.
* BadassCrew: Actually subverted. Individually each League member is incredibly powerful, but they aren't a cohesive force like The Team is so their capabilities when working in groups tend to be somewhat underwhelming.
** Which is FridgeBrilliance. The Team consider each other family, while the League are more like adults at work. Several of them are friends, but not in the same way.
* BigGood: The League itself, which the characters frequently mention as possible support when it looks like the situation is something they can not handle themselves. The League also has a rotating chairman who embodies the trope more then others.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler: At the end of Season 1, the entire League is taken over by Vandal Savage and Klarion.]]
* [[ClearMyName Clear Our Names]]: A variation. [[spoiler: The "sixteen hours" (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, John Stewart, and Hawkwoman) Leaguers leave Earth (with Hawkman, Hal Jordan, and Icon in tow) to do face charges in "Alienated". Although they actually did do it, they were actually BrainwashedAndCrazy at the time]].
* DemotedToExtra: The entire team, since the series focuses their sidekicks. Creator/CartoonNetwork even touted the show this way in early promos, counting on the audiences familiar with the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' cartoon to cause shock when the protagonists were revealed to be the children.
* ElaborateUndergroundBase: Formerly operated out of Mount Justice.
* FinalBoss: [[spoiler: The season 1 finale has the Team fight the entire league... and win.]] See TheWorfEffect.
* HelpingWouldBeKillStealing: Sometimes.
* HeroesOfAnotherStory
* [[HeroWithBadPublicity Heroes With Bad Publicity]]: As of the second season, the entire League are wanted criminals in Rann space. [[spoiler: This is because the Light sent a team of brainwashed Leaguers to their area of space and had them go on a rampage while broadcasting their identity.]]
** Closer to home, G. Gordon Godfrey is running a smear campaign on the Justice League, particularly the alien members. It seems to be working.
* LivingProp: Some members haven't received lines yet.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters
* OrderVersusChaos: Order to The Light's chaos.
* PutOnABus: [[spoiler: The six Leaguers who were brainwashed into attacking Rimbor have now left to stand trial and prove their innocence. Accompanying them are Hawkman (who refuses to leave Hawkwoman) and Icon, who's acting as advocate.]]
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Most of the League members who regularly interact with the Team are this.
* SpaceBase: The Watchtower
* SpiritualSuccessor: to the Justice Society of America, as usual.
* StoryBreakerPower: Probably the reason why [[spoiler: most of the League's strongest members get PutOnABus to space early in season 2.]] Freely admitted by Creator/GregWeisman when it comes to the League's two Green Lanterns: they are frequently off world because they're so powerful that they should be able to neutralize just about anything, but also justified because they're responsible for protecting more than just Earth.
* TwoGirlsToATeam: Although there are three female members on the team, which technically means it doesn't count, the full roster is ''sixteen'' members so the essential truth of this trope is still in play. Interestingly, WonderWoman seems to be actively working against this, as one of her stated criteria for an ideal new member to the League is that they be a woman to help shift the gender ratio.
* TheWorfEffect: As stated above, [[spoiler: the entire League is beaten by the Team in the season 1 finale.]] [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] by the fact that [[spoiler: Klarion had to control all of them at once (therefore making it harder to make them each effective in battle), while the Team could take on one to a few at a time. Kid Flash [[LampshadeHanging comments on this to]] Artemis.]]

[[folder:01: Superman]]
[[WMG:Franchise/{{Superman}} (Kal-El/Clark Kent)]]
[[quoteright:186:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Young_Justice_Superman_6583_9565.png]]
->Voiced by NolanNorth
The Big Blue Boyscout- though, perhaps a little less so than most interpretations. Though still the symbol for Truth, Justice and American Way, Superman was more than a little freaked out about the discovery of his clone, Superboy. He spent most of the first season avoiding any responsibility for him, despite the efforts of the rest of his colleagues to make him reconsider. He eventually accepts Conner as a little brother rather than a son come season 2.
One of the most powerful characters, with flight, super-strength, heat-vision and much, much more.
Note: Some of the tropes listed for Superman here are from the tie in comic, '''NOT''' the animated series itself, so don't be surprised if a few come off as InformedAttribute or AllThereInTheManual.
* {{Adorkable}}: As Clark Kent, trying to get to know Conner. As soon as he's out of earshot, Conner calls him pushy.
* AllLovingHero: In theory at least, though not always in action.
* AloofBigBrother: Inverted. When Superman [[TakeAThirdOption chooses to consider Superboy as a younger brother, rather than being his father like everyone else wanted or refusing to interact as he wanted]], he warms up to him quite considerably, even giving him a Kryptonian name and essentially adopting him.
* BadassCape: As per custom for every version of Superman.
* BerserkButton: Brainiac derisively calling Superboy a "clone of corrupted Kryptonian DNA" provoked Superman into giving his robot a faceful of heat vision.
* BigBrotherInstinct: He took a missile in the chest for Superboy in the season 2 episode ''Alienated''.
* BigBrotherMentor: To Superboy in Season 2.
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: As with BadassCape, it's Superman. You can't not have this trope.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: [[spoiler: His refusal to leave the Kroloteans behind plants him in the middle of an explosion that can be seen from orbit. He survives, but Superboy knows that failing to save them means he still won't be okay.]]
* ClarkKenting: Spectacularly done in the tie-in comics, where Clark tags along on Superboy and Miss Martian's mission. Miss Martian instantly recognizes him because she recognizes Conner's face despite his glasses and hat, and tells him so, explaining that Superboy doesn't because he doesn't keep mirrors and rarely sees his own reflection. Clark sheepishly explains that he wants the chance to get to know Superboy as Clark, not Superman.
* EyeBeams: Superman's laser vision makes a return.
* FlyingBrick: [[TropeCodifier As ever]].
* HeroicBuild: Has an impressive muscular build and is obviously a hero.
* HumanAliens: Kryptonians are [[IncrediblyLamePun super]]ficially identical to humans.
* LastOfHisKind: He's apparently on the lookout for people who share his powers.
--> '''Superman:''' I nominate Icon for League membership.
--> '''Green Arrow:''' Why? Because you suspect Icon might be Kryptonian like you did with Captain Marvel?
** He also {{Facepalm}}s when the Collector of Worlds leaves before he can ask if he collected anything from Krypton.
* ParentalSubstitute: Even though [[ParentalNeglect he rejected his "child" in the beginning]], he counts as this to Superboy.
* SuperSenses: Enhanced vision and hearing. Probly the other three as well, but the two main ones are those.
* SuperSpeed: Although Weisman prefers "enhanced speed" - he's slower than Kid Flash.
* SuperStrength: Again, Superman. He can lift a bus into the air, which Superboy was struggling to lift (mainly because of poor leverage)
* RedIsHeroic: Per usual for every version of Superman to wear a red cape.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: Either as Superman or Clark Kent, he qualifies.
* ThatThingIsNotMyChild: Deconstructed. There's nothing particularly anti-clone about it and he doesn't actually dislike Superboy, but he's ''not'' happy when Batman calls him Superboy's "father". His rationalization is that Conner will do better with role models who don't have all their baggage. [[spoiler:By season 2, he's comfortably referring to Conner as a little brother. Doubles as a MythologyGag to the comics, where both the Silver Age and Clone Superboys were involved in a "Cool Big Brother" dynamic. Clark with Mon-El, Conner with Clark.]]
* TookALevelInKindness: In season 2, [[spoiler:in which he accepts Superboy]]. Not that he was horrifically unkind before so much as too distant for his own good.
* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: His reaction when he learns SelfDemonstrating/LexLuthor took the credit for stopping the Reach and is now the favorite for "new secretary-general of the United Nations". It's actually quite funny.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:02: Batman]]
[[WMG: Franchise/{{Batman}} (Bruce Wayne)]]
[[quoteright:210:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Young_Justice_Batman_9503_3709.png]]
->Voiced by BruceGreenwood
The Dark Knight of Gotham city. Like always, he's brooding and suspicious, but his caring nature is much closer to the surface than in most interpretations. He has a close relationship with the first Robin, Dick, and eventually takes the entire Team under his wing.
* AnimalMotifs: A bat, as usual.
* ArsonMurderAndLifesaving: Pulls this one on the team in "Drop Zone".
** And again in "Usual Suspects".
* BadassBaritone: Has a deep voice and is Batman.
* BadassCape: He's Batman after all.
* BadassNormal: To the point where he has the respect from, and authority over, beings with various superpowers even though he has none of his own.
* BigGood: He’s the League Chairman in Season One. He may seem (and sometimes is) hard and strict on the team, but he ultimately praises them and encourages them to work together.
* BrainyBrunette: Dark and and the Goddamn Batman.
* BrokenPedestal: In "Disordered," Dick tells Black Canary that he'd always wanted and expected to be Batman when he grew up, but his stint as leader in "Failsafe" made him realize that he just can't be the obsessive, at-all-costs kind of person that Bruce is. "Agendas" shows that Bruce himself would be nothing but relieved by this.
* CrazyPrepared: He's Batman after all.
* DarkIsNotEvil: [[RunningGag Again]], Batman.
* DatingCatwoman: Talia al Ghul declares her love for Batman in issue #11 of the tie-in comic, while Batman is noticeably bothered by the fact that [[spoiler:she's going to hate him because her father, Ra's, temporarily died during the fight]].
* DeadpanSnarker: Not in front of the team, but when it's just he and Robin on a mission:
-->'''Ra's al Ghul''': Why are our encounters always so... adversarial?
-->'''Batman''': Something to do with your disdain with human life.
* {{Determinator}}: According to Robin, who's figured out it's not all it's cracked up to be.
* DotingParent: Hmm, do I try to prevent my friend, the President of Qurac's assassination or do I go to my kid's birthday party? Well, Superboy and Miss Martian can handle the first one, right?
* DrillSergeantNasty: Subverted in "Drop Zone" where at first he appears to be furious that they made so many mistakes in their first mission, [[ArsonMurderAndLifesaving only to tell them that they did a good job.]]
** It's particularly notable coming from ''Batman'', who in several other media is very obsessive about his plans not going the way he originally wanted. Here, he first scolds them for not listening to his orders before praising them for reacting well once the situation changed.
* DynamicEntry: Done this twice already, once in the pilot episode and then in "Downtime".
* ExpressiveMask: One can know if he's angry.
* GoodParents: When noticing that Robin was jealous of the attention he was giving to Kaldur, Batman simply invites Robin for some basketball with him to assure him that no one would replace him.
* HeroicBuild: Muscular? Check. Hero? Double check.
* ParentalSubstitute: He is very much this to Dick Grayson. Dick actually gets jealous in one episode when Bruce privately lectures Aqualad after a disastrous mission. Bruce then alleviates Dick's concerns by playing basketball with him (claiming that it's "training").
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He consistently appears hard and authoritarian, but fair and judicial.
* RoleReprisal: From ''[[WesternAnimation/BatmanUnderTheRedHood Batman: Under the Red Hood]]''.
* SecretKeeper: Knew Captain Marvel was a ten-year-old kid.
** Knew Artemis was the daughter of Huntress and Sportsmaster.
* StealthHiBye: Is able to pull this of in the middle of a fight!
* TheStoic
** NotSoStoic: In "Disordered," he makes a squirmy face when J'onn scolds him for overestimating the Team's ability to recover from the trauma of "Failsafe," and he sighs in disappointment when Superboy runs off without his radio. There's also "Agendas," where his voice becomes heavier and his shoulders slump when he admits that he ''didn't'' want Robin to turn out like him.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: He's '''Bruce Wayne'''. It's to be expected.
** TallDarkAndSnarky: When he shows his snarky side.
* TeamDad
* TookALevelInKindness: Compared to other incarnations where he's TheStoic, he's much more expressive here.
* UnclePennybags: Besides being Dick's and Tim's legal guardian, he also provides for Superboy's expenses and gives Artemis an expensive scholarship to a private school.

[[folder:03: Wonder Woman]]
[[WMG: Franchise/{{Wonder Woman}} (Princess Diana of Themyscira) ]]
-> ''When all is said and done, the question must be - whom do we trust?''
->Voiced by Creator/MaggieQ
Wonder Woman seems to stand as the moral center of the League. She takes a backseat in the story for the majority of the time, but is quick to call Superman and Batman out on their mistakes, and takes on Wonder Girl as her protege between seasons 1 and 2.
* ActionGirl
* BadassPrincess
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses
* FlyingBrick
* FriendToAllChildren: {{Implied}}. She didn't agree with Batman's choice of letting Robin I enter the world of crimefighting at the age of nine; earlier, Wonder Woman didn't like the idea of Captain Marvel being in the League when he is only ten.
* OlderThanSheLooks: Her official stats say she's ninety-years-old (of course, she ''is'' partially immortal; physically she's roughly in her 30s).
* RapunzelHair: Reaches down her waist.
* RavenHairIvorySkin
* SuperStrength
[[/folder]]
[[folder:04: The Flash]]
[[WMG: Comicbook/TheFlash (Barry Allen)]]
[[quoteright:198:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Young_Justice_Flash_7183_644.png]]
->Voiced by George Eads (Season 1, "Bloodlines"), Creator/JamesArnoldTaylor ("Endgame")
Mentor to Kid Flash, ''the'' Flash has taken up his mantel from its previous owner, Garrick. He's a dedicated uncle and mentor, and one of the more friendly League members, though still serious when needed.
* AscendedFanboy: In the tie-in comics, Wally explains that Barry was a big fan of The Flash and spent a lot of time talking to Jay Garrick before duplicating the FreakLabAccident that gave him his powers.
* BigEater: Pretty much a given because he has to eat to regain his super speed.
* CatchPhrase: "[[IncrediblyLamePun Back in a flash!]]"
** Lampshaded by the Flash Family
---> '''Impulse''': "Does he say that often?"
--->'''Rest of the Family''': *sigh* "Too often."
* CoolUncle: He's a little dorky, but Wally thinks he's cool.
* ExpressiveMask
* GreenEyes
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: A NiceGuy who's also a super hero.
* HappilyMarried: to Wally West's aunt Iris.
* HotScientist: When The Flash becomes Barry Allen, he's a CSI for the police; Barry has a degree in forensic science.
* InSeriesNickname: "Bartholomew" is his full name, but he's nicknamed "Barry".
* LegacyCharacter: As seen in "Downtime", the Flash family has had several generations of speedsters.
* LongingLook: To Iris in "Failsafe," but subtle since they're on air at the time and aliens are killing everyone.
* MundaneUtility: In "Downtime", he uses his super speed to clear the dinner table inside of ten seconds.
* NiceGuy: Which Mary West has been heard to hope will rub off on Wally.
* NotHisSled: [[spoiler:In the finale he recreates his famous death scene with his two proteges. Except in a twist he doesn't die, Wally does. It even looked like he was going to give his life to save his but when he got to him he was already beyond saving.]]
* OhCrap: A much more tragic and heartbreaking one, but [[spoiler: the look on his face when it's clear that he can't save Wally in Endgame is all over this]]
* RedIsHeroic: Like always The Flash is a hero and sports his signature red suit.
* ScienceHero: He gained his powers by carefully recreating Jay Garrick's accident in a controlled experiment, and is a police scientist in his day job.
-->'''Kid Flash:''' "Are you having a CSI moment?"
-->'''Flash:''' "Kid, I was [=CSI=] before anybody knew what [=CSI=] was."
* SuperSenses: Flash can also speak, hear, and see faster than any normal being.
* SuperSpeed: He's the Flash. Fastest man alive and all that.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:05: Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)]]
[[WMG: Comicbook/GreenLantern (Hal Jordan)]]
->Voiced by Creator/DeeBradleyBaker ("Agendas")
* ExiledFromContinuity: Officially averted, via WordOfGod, in contrast to previous instances of [=DC=] characters being used in multiple productions. However, the difference is semantic. He still doesn't appear or contribute nearly as often as other members of the League because he a) doesn't have a sidekick on the team and b) has a really notorious case of StoryBreakerPower.
* ExpressiveMask
* ImaginationBasedSuperpower
* SpacePolice
[[/folder]]
[[folder:06: Aquaman]]
[[WMG: Comicbook/{{Aquaman}} (King Orin of Atlantis/Arthur Curry)]]
[[quoteright:197:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Young_Justice_Aquaman_5525_1508.png]]
->Voiced by PhilLaMarr
King of Atlantis, mentor to Aqualad, and later Lagoon Boy.
* BadassBeard: Much like [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold another Aquaman]], he maintains his classic look whilst having the beard the character was first seen with during the 90's.
* ChewToy: [[spoiler: He thinks Aqualad has betrayed him, Aquagirl is dead, and Lagoon Boy has been captured by Aqualad and Black Manta]].
** [[spoiler:Is faring a bit better after "Before the Dawn" now that Lagoon Boy has been rescued but now Aqualad is catatonic as a result.]]
* DoesNotLikeShoes: Seems to be an Atlantean thing; webbed feet do make swimming easier, though.
* TheGoodKing: Of Atlantis.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: A wise and reasonable adult, who happens to be a hero.
* HappilyMarried
* HeroesWantRedheads: Is married to Mera, and expecting their first child.
* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler: Kaldur'ahm... just Kaldur'ahm... But not]].
* OvershadowedByAwesome: By, of all people, his sidekick.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Aside from running his kingdom, he is an active member of the Justice League.

[[folder:07: Martian Manhunter]]
[[WMG: MartianManhunter (J'onn J'onzz/John Jones)]]
-> ''Trauma tends to linger - as I know you know, my friend.''
[[quoteright:227:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Young_Justice_Martian_Manhunter_3511_9242.png]]
->Voiced by Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson
The uncle of Miss Martian, this green skinned alien is a serious and reserved figure, though still a kind one. He clearly cares deeply for his niece, and it a formidable super-hero.
* BadassBaritone
* BaldOfAwesome
* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Kevin Michael Richardson seems to be channeling Creator/{{Carl|Lumbly}} [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Lumbly]] in his performance for J'onn.
* IntangibleMan
* {{Invisibility}}
* KillerGameMaster: His alien invasion is the new tomb of horrors.
* LastOfHisKind: Averted. His family alone includes ''hundreds'' [[MassiveNumberedSiblings of nieces and nephews]]. [[note]] As Greg Weisman has noted, the idea that J'onn was the last Martian was not present during the original Silver Age stories, and they chose not to include that in the Earth-16 version. The exact details may be revealed in future episodes.[[/note]]
* OlderThanHeLooks
* PsychicPowers:
** MindOverMatter
** {{Telepathy}}
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Subversion with him being one of the heroes.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: 135 Earth-years old - in [[WeAreAsMayflies Martian terms]], mid-forties.
* ShapeshifterDefaultForm: Type B. [[spoiler: According to WordOfGod, his natural form is just like Miss Martian's monstrous natural form, only bigger and with green skin.]]
* ShapeShifting
[[/folder]]
[[folder:08: Green Arrow]]
[[WMG: ComicBook/GreenArrow (Oliver Queen)]]
[[quoteright:177:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Young_Justice_Green_Arrow_7836_9079.png]]
->Voiced by Creator/AlanTudyk
The supposed "Uncle" of Artemis, Green Arrow is a friendly face, politician and capable fighter. He suffered a falling-out with his first side-kick, Speedy (who took on the mantel Red Arrow) though he still cares deeply for him and tried to bring him back to the straight and narrow. Took Artemis on as his new protege to teach her his skills and [[spoiler: give her an outlet for her super-heroing, per Batman's request]]. In a relationship with Black Canary.
* BadassBeard
* BadassNormal
* BlatantLies: Claiming Artemis is his niece, which Red Arrow knew immediately was a lie.
* ButtMonkey: [[spoiler:He has it worse than Aquaman. He thinks Artemis is dead, Red Arrow RageQuit, and the original Speedy (Now Arsenal) was pissed off that he stopped looking and went to try and assassinate Luthor]].
* CoolUncle: To Artemis though it's an obvious lie. [[spoiler: After Roy marries Cheshire, Green Arrow technically becomes this to Artemis.]]
* DoomMagnet: Starts to see himself as this in "Satisfaction".
* ExpressiveMask
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: See NiceGuy
* InTheHood
* MentorOccupationalHazard: Inverted. [[spoiler: As of "Satisfaction" (Season 2, Episode 8), Oliver comes to consider himself a complete failure as a mentor. Speedy I was kidnapped and replaced by a clone without him ever noticing, something which his former protégé angrily [[GetOut chews him out for]] in addition to having stopped looking for him. Red Arrow fell into a CloningBlues-induced spiral of self-destruction that Oliver couldn't avert. Finally, as far as he knows, Artemis was just killed in the line of duty]].
* NiceGuy: One of the easiest League members to talk to and is a member of the Justice League.
* OfficialCouple: With Black Canary.
* ParentalSubstitute: {{Implied}}. WordOfGod confirmed that Artemis always admired Green Arrow, even before she joined TheTeam. So, it's subtly hinted that after the duo became protégé and student, Artemis sees Green Arrow as a father figure. [[AbusiveParents And if you consider what kind of father Sportsmaster was...]]

[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Zatara_420.png]]
->Voiced by Creator/NolanNorth
Zatara appears to be one of the older Leaguers-- while Martian Manhunter and Wonder Woman have the years, they age differently. Zatara took a turn as the team's Den Mother after Captain Marvel and later brought his daughter, Zatanna, to meet them.
* BadassInANiceSuit
* BadassMustache
* DoomedByCanon: Zatara never has been a member of the Justice League in any incarnation, only his daughter ComicBook/{{Zatanna}} has... More to the point, Zatara is deceased in the comics due to a ''SwampThing'' storyline published in the Eighties.
** SparedByTheAdaptation: As of "Misplaced", Zatara is [[spoiler:the new Doctor Fate. At least he's not dead, though Zatanna is effectively orphaned.]]
* GreenEyes
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Allows Nabu to take him as a host to save Zatanna from the same fate.]]
* LegacyCharacter: [[spoiler: Becomes the new Doctor Fate.]]
* MagiciansAreWizards
* NiceHat
* OverProtectiveDad: Considering how [[SquishyWizard weak]] Zatanna seems to be in actual combat at this point, this may be justified.
** Even [[spoiler: as the new Doctor Fate]] his fatherly instincts make a quick surfacing when Zatanna is considered for League membership.
* PapaWolf
* StageMagician: Looks like one, but has real magic.
* TakeMeInstead: [[spoiler: When Nabu has taken over Zatanna, Zatara begs him to spare her and take his body instead. Nabu complies after Zatara [[IGaveMyWord geases himself to put on the Helmet of Fate if Nabu lets Zatanna go]].]]

[[WMG: ComicBook/CaptainAtom (Nathaniel Adams)]]
->Voiced by Michael T. Weiss
A time-displaced veteran of the Vietnam War, [[AllThereInTheManual Captain Atom was brought in to teach the team espionage and cover ops techniques]]. By season two, he's taken over as the Justice League's current leader.
* BigGood: He's League Chairman in Season 2. He's a lot more hands-off than Batman, mostly because the Team has more than proven themselves by this point.
* ClearMyName: In the tie-in comic he sends the Team to do that. He doesn't tell them whose name they're clearing, though.
* EnergyAbsorption
* TheLeader: As League Chairman.
* OlderThanHeLooks: He's actually 70 years old but, other than the white hair, doesn't look a day over 40.

->Voiced by Creator/VanessaMarshall
A powerful hand-to-hand fighter aided with her "sonic scream", Black Canary is one of the main mentors to the team. Although her role was initially to train them in fighting and make sure they didn't get into trouble, she stepped into a more emotionally supportive role, even offering them therapy sessions when necessary. In a relationship with Green Arrow.
* AuthorAppeal: Creator/GregWeisman [[WordOfGod admits]] that her prominent role is at least partially because she's his favorite DC character.
* BadassTeacher: The combat teacher to the Team. And one-upped [[SuperStrength Superboy]].
* BigGood: [[spoiler: She's made the new League Chairman in the series finale.]]
* BoundAndGagged: In "Auld Acquaintance".
* BreakTheHaughty: Inflicted this on Superboy and Kid Flash.
* BrutalHonesty: Likes to get right to the point.
* CoolBigSis: Her relationship with Red Arrow, according to WordOfGod.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Wears black clothing and she's a heroine.
* FightsLikeANormal: As usual, she is a very capable fighter without using her powers. Just ask Superboy.
* FingerlessGloves
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Despite her demeanor, she's an easy person to talk to.
* HotTeacher
* IcyBlueEyes: Not in personality. Unless you're the enemy.
* LegacyCharacter: Is the daughter of the original Black Canary according to WordOfGod.
* MakeMeWannaShout
* MeaningfulName: "Dinah" is Hebrew for "judged", like how she judged (not harsh), but truly the psyches of the members of the Team. See WarriorTherapist.
* OfficialCouple: With Green Arrow.
* ResignedToTheCall: Her reaction to [[spoiler: becoming League Chairman.]]
* SexyMentor
* SternTeacher: To the Team, but gives praise when it is deserved.
* TaughtByExperience: Firmly believes that injuries and setbacks in missions is "part of the heroes job" and helps mature the hero.
* WarriorTherapist: As shown in "Disordered". Not only does she train them, she helps them deal with trauma.
* YouAreNotAlone: {{Invoked}}. [[spoiler:Black Canary tries to tell Clone!Roy that even though he feels lost, that doesn't means he's alone. Sadly, it doesn't sink in to him.]]

[[WMG: [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel]] (Billy Batson)]]
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Captain_Marvel_9655.png]]
->Captain Marvel voiced by Rob Lowe ("Alpha Male" & "Humanity"), Chad Lowe ("Secrets" and after)
->Billy Batson voiced by Robert Ochoa (Season 1), Chad Lowe (Season 2)
Though on the surface just a brave and chivalrous super-hero, Captain Marvel is actually just a good-hearted young boy in a powered adult's body. A little boy who just really, ''really'' wants the Team and Justice League to like him. Don't let his puppy-dog demeanor fool you, though. His good nature earned his powerful abilities, and when he's not fooling around, he's pretty wise, too.
* {{Adorkable}}: He tries so hard to fit in.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Being a young boy on the inside, Billy can be easily distracted by something cool. Like tigers.
* AscendedFanboy: Billy idolizes all heroes.
* {{Badass}}: As Captain Marvel, he is an [[IncorruptiblePurePureness incorruptibly pure]] FlyingBrick and world renowned hero; as 10-year old kid Billy Batson... he's even ''better''. Billy was willing to risk oblivion to save somebody's life, and kept a cool head during a global catastrophe when all the adults of the world disappeared. The episode "Misplaced" is basically about why he deserves the power of Captain Marvel.
** 15 year old Billy is no slouch either. During his fight with Despero he went PapaWolf in order to protect The Team and while he ''had '' to know it would end badly if it didn’t work, he tried to use his transformation lighting as his ace against Despero. It didn’t work, but it’s the thought that counts.
* BrainyBrunette: Has the Wisdom of Solomon.
* ButtMonkey: He constantly tries to get close to the team, who are essentially his peers. The team tends to assume that he's as authoritarian and hard-nosed as the other members of the League, so they (often unintentionally) undermine, take advantage of, or otherwise reject him in the process of saving the day. It's probably not the case after Billy revealed who he really was to them in "Misplaced".
* CallingYourAttacks: He would sometimes announce or reference which of his powers he was using at a time, whether it was using the Power of Zeus and Speed of Mercury to drill into the ground, or cite the Wisdom of Solomon as the source of his good advice.
* FlyingBrick
* GenreSavvy: He doesn't waste time trying to convince the team who he is-- he skips straight to "Quick, read my mind!"
* HenshinHero
* HeroicBuild
* HeIsAllGrownUp: 15 year old Billy Batson, ladies and gentlemen.
* HonoraryTrueCompanion: Honorary because he won't join the team; he's part of the Justice League. During Invasion, the League usually paired with former team members Rocket and Zatanna, and he was with Zatanna helping the group who lived at Mount Justice move.
* ImStandingRightHere: After his secret's revealed to the League at large, they have to debate whether he can stay.
--> '''Red Tornado:''' He does possess an adult body and the wisdom of Solomon.
--> '''Aquaman:''' Wisdom does not equal maturity.
--> '''Marvel:''' Hey, I'm sitting right here!
* JustAKid: He gets this treatment from some of the League in "Agendas" after real age was revealed.
* ManChild: As with [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} the comic example]], Captain Marvel is really a kid. However, none of the teens know his real form, so he definitely comes off as being this trope.
* {{Nephewism}}: In this version, Billy is being properly cared for by his Uncle Dudley.
* NiceGuy: The nicest.
* OneOfTheKids: Captain Marvel is known for retaining his innocence, but this incarnation is especially childish.
* PapaWolf: In order to protect the team from Despero. Considering his true age, maybe its more of a BigBrotherInstinct.
* SecretKeeper: Billy has to keep the identity of Captain Marvel a secret due to the fact that he's really a ten-year-old kid. As of "Misplaced", the Team knows about his true identity. It's also clear that Batman knows but other Leaguers like Zatara don't, though they find out after this.
* SixthRanger: How he views himself in regards to the team. Unfortunately for him, the team didn't know that he's a kid until he revealed himself in "Misplaced", so they did what they can to keep him out of the loop.
* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: Billy goes back to the world of kids in Misplaced and asks Miss Martian to read his mind to prove that he's really Captain Marvel. Kid Flash doesn't buy it. Then, Billy goes:
-->'''Billy:''' Gee Wally, do I ''really'' have to bring you nachos and pineapple juice to get on your good side?
* SuperStrength
* TagalongKid: Despite never being a kid at the time.
* WhatTheHellHero: In "Agendas", he's the first Leaguer to call out Nabu for the events of "Misplaced". He doesn't know why they're even keeping him in the League.
** Shortly after, however, the rest of the League, particularly Wonder Woman, call ''him'' out for concealing his age.
* WiseBeyondTheirYears: {{Lampshaded}} by Captain Marvel himself (the "wise" part anyway), when Aqualad thanks him for a pep talk.
-->'''Marvel:''' Hey, wisdom of Solomon.
** Seems to be in an "Only when I feel like it" way, since whenever nothing serious is going down, he's just a big kid.
** As pointed out by Aquaman when the League finds out about his alter-ego, "wise" doesn't necessarily mean "mature".
* YouDidntAsk: The reason why he hid his age from the Justice League.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: As Captain Marvel. Billy looks his young age.

-> ''Human customs still elude me.''
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Red_Tornado_2009.png]]
->Voiced by Creator/JeffBennett
A robot with wind powers, Red Tornado doesn't quite ''get'' human emotions. That doesn't stop him for caring deeply for the Team he's been assigned to protect, (in his own way).
* BadassCape
* BlowYouAway
* ColorCharacter
* DemotedToExtra: He's conspicuously absent in the second season (likely because Nightwing and the others have replaced him in the mentor role), and has only had one non-speaking appearance in "War".
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: Subverted. It seems as if he defects in "Homefront", but in reality, he leaves to protect the Team and to find his creator, T.O. Morrow.]]
* FakeDefector
* HelpingWouldBeKillstealing: Every time the team ask for help he tells them they have to do it on their own.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Was trying to make one with his siblings when he nearly melted to take down his evil brother. Superboy saved him at the last minute.]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning
* OldSuperhero[=/=]OlderThanHeLooks: It's revealed that before the [[Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica Justice League]] was formed, he was part of the JusticeSocietyOfAmerica (see below) decades earlier. Of course, being an android, he hasn't physically aged.
* RedIsHeroic
* RobotBuddy
* TheStoic: He is a robot, so stoicism isn't unexpected for him. "Auld Acquaintance", however, shows that, while in his "John Smith" body, he can display emotion far more readily. [[spoiler: [[NotSoStoic Specifically, when ordering the team to get out of the cave, the urgency in his voice is especially noticeable.]]]]
* TeamMom
* TookALevelInKindness: [[spoiler: He became the Den Mother in order to become more human. It has had an effect, as he's come to care for the Team... and later on, his "father."]]

[[folder:17: Doctor Fate]]
[[WMG: DoctorFate (Nabu)]]
-> '''[[AC: Fate has intervened.]]'''
->Voiced by Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson
An ancient being tasked with protecting the world from the powers of chaos, Dr. Fate must take on a mortal body as his host- and he doesn't much care what said host has to say about it. While he can be a major asset to the forces of good, the price paid might sometimes be too high.
* AttackReflector: In "War", he is able to absorb the beam from the [=WarWorld=]'s WaveMotionGun and send it right back, utterly wrecking the gun.
%%* BadassBaritone
%%* BadassCape: Whoever wears the Helmet of Fate.
* ClingyCostume: Once someone puts on the Helmet of Fate, it cannot be removed unless Nabu wants it to.
* CombatStilettos: When possessing [[spoiler: Zatanna.]]
* ConverseWithTheUnconscious: regularly converses with whoever is serving as his host, even though he's fully inhabiting their body.
* CoolHelmet: Essentially IS the helmet.
* ForbiddenChekhovsGun: The helmet is mentioned during a crisis and the league considers if they're desperate enough to use it. Every time someone puts the helmet on it's because the situation has crossed the GodzillaThreshold.
* GoodIsNotNice: He's never claimed to be good.
* TheHatMakesTheMan: Possesses the body of whoever puts on the Helmet.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Kent Nelson. His spirit did reside in the Helmet of Fate for a while, but Fate eventually got tired of his nagging every time someone used the helmet and sent him off to the afterlife.]]
* LargeHam: He's not too emotive, but nearly everything Nabu says has a tremendous amount of gravitas.
--> '''Fate''': '''[[AC: Wotan! You are mine!]]'''
* LightIsNotGood: Calling him good is generous, all things considered, yet, his golden light powers and ankh symbol definitely render him light aligned.
* LegacyCharacter: Several people have wore the Helmet of Fate but most of them temporarily.
* MaskOfPower: The Helmet of Fate turns the wearer into a host for an extremely powerful Lord of Order, who's got some crazy powerful magic abilities.
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: He's called Doctor Fate, but whether he is a doctor is unspecified.
* OrderVersusChaos: Represents order, and not necessarily in a good or nice way.
* PowerMakesYourVoiceDeep: Wearing the Helmet of Fate will make the wearer speak with Nabu's deep voice overlying their voice.
* PowersThatBe: Is a personification of order given form on the physical plane.
* TokenEvilTeammate: While more morally ambiguous than outright evil, compared to the rest of the League he's very dark.
* UnscrupulousHero: His actions are motivated purely by a desire to maintain order rather than any moral compulsion and he has few qualms about suppressing the identity of (and effectively killing) anyone he possesses, even if they're children - though he was convinced to release [[spoiler: both Kid Flash and Aqualad]] without anyone else sacrificing themselves, and he is at least aware that putting on the helmet ''is'' a sacrifice. For example, when he possesses [[spoiler: Zatanna]]:
--> "[[AC:Fate decrees [[spoiler: her]] sacrifice will not be in vain!]]"
* VoiceOfTheLegion: A ([[AntiHero largely]]) heroic example. Whoever wears the Helmet of Fate will speak with Nabu's deep voice overlying their voice.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He is absolutely convinced that the world needs him (and not without reason), and if that means whatever mortal happens to be wearing the helmet never gets to take it off, so be it. It's reached the point that Captain Marvel doesn't understand why they're letting him stay in the League. Nabu replies that [[spoiler: Zatara]] wants him there so they can [[MoralityChain keep an eye on him]].

[[WMG: ComicBook/BlueBeetle II (Ted Kord)]]
The second Blue Beetle. His death in a lab explosion indirectly led to Jaime finding the Scarab and becoming his successor.
* BadassNormal: He never used the Scarab himself, just based his hero persona on it.
* ColorCharacter
* DyingMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler: Going head to head against both Deathstroke and Sportsmaster at the same time in order to keep the Light from getting the Scarab forever cements him extremely {{Badass}}. Taking into account the fact that Jaime ended up getting it, this also means that the explosion which claimed his life probably wasn't deliberate on the part of the villains.]]
* GadgeteerGenius: Batgirl's dialogue in "Intervention" and everyone's initial belief that the Scarab was something he created implies that he was this.
* GenreSavvy: Of the ProperlyParanoid type. Ted knew better than to just slap a piece of alien technology onto his back and hope for the best.
** On the other hand, had he done so he might have survived his encounter with Deathstroke and Sportsmaster.
* LegacyCharacter: The second ComicBook/BlueBeetle.
* PosthumousCharacter: He died during the TimeSkip between seasons 1 and 2, making him this in relation to season 2 (he would have been alive during season 1, but he never appeared).

[[WMG: Comicbook/GreenLantern (Guy Gardner)]]
Earth's third Green Lantern. When the League considers an expansion in "Agendas", the Flash puts his name forward - something Hal and John are both ''very'' opposed to.
* BigDamnHeroes: Saves a falling bus of children when Green Arrow, Red Arrow, and Black Canary all fail to stop it from falling.
* ImaginationBasedSuperpower
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Implied. Judging by Hal’s and John’s NoJustNoReaction at the idea of letting Guy join the League and Cassie’s own exclamation that he doesn’t like anyone one could reasonably say that he’s a bit difficult in terms of personality. However, Guy is a hero first, as seen when he saves a bus full of innocents. Nightwing also says that Guy is actually fond of Jaime Reyes in his own way (Which is quite possibly a ShoutOut to the fact Guy was rather fond of Jaime in the comics as well), which is a telling thing for Cassie.

[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:In General]]
* AdultsAreUseless: Generally averted. The incident with Red Tornado stands out as an example of where they ''should'' be far more competent, but otherwise they are pretty on the ball.
* BackForTheFinale: The six that were in Rimbor, Hawkman, Icon and the Franchise/GreenLantern members that joined them.
* BadassCrew: Actually subverted. Individually each League member is incredibly powerful, but they aren't a cohesive force like The Team is so their capabilities when working in groups tend to be somewhat underwhelming.
** Which is FridgeBrilliance. The Team consider each other family, while the League are more like adults at work. Several of them are friends, but not in the same way.
* BigGood: The League itself, which the characters frequently mention as possible support when it looks like the situation is something they can not handle themselves. The League also has a rotating chairman who embodies the trope more then others.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler: At the end of Season 1, the entire League is taken over by Vandal Savage and Klarion.]]
* [[ClearMyName Clear Our Names]]: A variation. [[spoiler: The "sixteen hours" (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, John Stewart, and Hawkwoman) Leaguers leave Earth (with Hawkman, Hal Jordan, and Icon in tow) to do face charges in "Alienated". Although they actually did do it, they were actually BrainwashedAndCrazy at the time]].
* DemotedToExtra: The entire team, since the series focuses their sidekicks. Creator/CartoonNetwork even touted the show this way in early promos, counting on the audiences familiar with the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' cartoon to cause shock when the protagonists were revealed to be the children.
* ElaborateUndergroundBase: Formerly operated out of Mount Justice.
* FinalBoss: [[spoiler: The season 1 finale has the Team fight the entire league... and win.]] See TheWorfEffect.
* HelpingWouldBeKillStealing: Sometimes.
* HeroesOfAnotherStory
* [[HeroWithBadPublicity Heroes With Bad Publicity]]: As of the second season, the entire League are wanted criminals in Rann space. [[spoiler: This is because the Light sent a team of brainwashed Leaguers to their area of space and had them go on a rampage while broadcasting their identity.]]
** Closer to home, G. Gordon Godfrey is running a smear campaign on the Justice League, particularly the alien members. It seems to be working.
* LivingProp: Some members haven't received lines yet.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters
* OrderVersusChaos: Order to The Light's chaos.
* PutOnABus: [[spoiler: The six Leaguers who were brainwashed into attacking Rimbor have now left to stand trial and prove their innocence. Accompanying them are Hawkman (who refuses to leave Hawkwoman) and Icon, who's acting as advocate.]]
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Most of the League members who regularly interact with the Team are this.
* SpaceBase: The Watchtower
* SpiritualSuccessor: to the Justice Society of America, as usual.
* StoryBreakerPower: Probably the reason why [[spoiler: most of the League's strongest members get PutOnABus to space early in season 2.]] Freely admitted by Creator/GregWeisman when it comes to the League's two Green Lanterns: they are frequently off world because they're so powerful that they should be able to neutralize just about anything, but also justified because they're responsible for protecting more than just Earth.
* TwoGirlsToATeam: Although there are three female members on the team, which technically means it doesn't count, the full roster is ''sixteen'' members so the essential truth of this trope is still in play. Interestingly, WonderWoman seems to be actively working against this, as one of her stated criteria for an ideal new member to the League is that they be a woman to help shift the gender ratio.
* TheWorfEffect: As stated above, [[spoiler: the entire League is beaten by the Team in the season 1 finale.]] [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] by the fact that [[spoiler: Klarion had to control all of them at once (therefore making it harder to make them each effective in battle), while the Team could take on one to a few at a time. Kid Flash [[LampshadeHanging comments on this to]] Artemis.]]

[[folder:01: Superman]]
[[WMG:Franchise/{{Superman}} (Kal-El/Clark Kent)]]
[[quoteright:186:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Young_Justice_Superman_6583_9565.png]]
->Voiced by NolanNorth
The Big Blue Boyscout- though, perhaps a little less so than most interpretations. Though still the symbol for Truth, Justice and American Way, Superman was more than a little freaked out about the discovery of his clone, Superboy. He spent most of the first season avoiding any responsibility for him, despite the efforts of the rest of his colleagues to make him reconsider. He eventually accepts Conner as a little brother rather than a son come season 2.
One of the most powerful characters, with flight, super-strength, heat-vision and much, much more.
Note: Some of the tropes listed for Superman here are from the tie in comic, '''NOT''' the animated series itself, so don't be surprised if a few come off as InformedAttribute or AllThereInTheManual.
* {{Adorkable}}: As Clark Kent, trying to get to know Conner. As soon as he's out of earshot, Conner calls him pushy.
* AllLovingHero: In theory at least, though not always in action.
* AloofBigBrother: Inverted. When Superman [[TakeAThirdOption chooses to consider Superboy as a younger brother, rather than being his father like everyone else wanted or refusing to interact as he wanted]], he warms up to him quite considerably, even giving him a Kryptonian name and essentially adopting him.
* BadassCape: As per custom for every version of Superman.
* BerserkButton: Brainiac derisively calling Superboy a "clone of corrupted Kryptonian DNA" provoked Superman into giving his robot a faceful of heat vision.
* BigBrotherInstinct: He took a missile in the chest for Superboy in the season 2 episode ''Alienated''.
* BigBrotherMentor: To Superboy in Season 2.
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: As with BadassCape, it's Superman. You can't not have this trope.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: [[spoiler: His refusal to leave the Kroloteans behind plants him in the middle of an explosion that can be seen from orbit. He survives, but Superboy knows that failing to save them means he still won't be okay.]]
* ClarkKenting: Spectacularly done in the tie-in comics, where Clark tags along on Superboy and Miss Martian's mission. Miss Martian instantly recognizes him because she recognizes Conner's face despite his glasses and hat, and tells him so, explaining that Superboy doesn't because he doesn't keep mirrors and rarely sees his own reflection. Clark sheepishly explains that he wants the chance to get to know Superboy as Clark, not Superman.
* EyeBeams: Superman's laser vision makes a return.
* FlyingBrick: [[TropeCodifier As ever]].
* HeroicBuild: Has an impressive muscular build and is obviously a hero.
* HumanAliens: Kryptonians are [[IncrediblyLamePun super]]ficially identical to humans.
* LastOfHisKind: He's apparently on the lookout for people who share his powers.
--> '''Superman:''' I nominate Icon for League membership.
--> '''Green Arrow:''' Why? Because you suspect Icon might be Kryptonian like you did with Captain Marvel?
** He also {{Facepalm}}s when the Collector of Worlds leaves before he can ask if he collected anything from Krypton.
* ParentalSubstitute: Even though [[ParentalNeglect he rejected his "child" in the beginning]], he counts as this to Superboy.
* SuperSenses: Enhanced vision and hearing. Probly the other three as well, but the two main ones are those.
* SuperSpeed: Although Weisman prefers "enhanced speed" - he's slower than Kid Flash.
* SuperStrength: Again, Superman. He can lift a bus into the air, which Superboy was struggling to lift (mainly because of poor leverage)
* RedIsHeroic: Per usual for every version of Superman to wear a red cape.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: Either as Superman or Clark Kent, he qualifies.
* ThatThingIsNotMyChild: Deconstructed. There's nothing particularly anti-clone about it and he doesn't actually dislike Superboy, but he's ''not'' happy when Batman calls him Superboy's "father". His rationalization is that Conner will do better with role models who don't have all their baggage. [[spoiler:By season 2, he's comfortably referring to Conner as a little brother. Doubles as a MythologyGag to the comics, where both the Silver Age and Clone Superboys were involved in a "Cool Big Brother" dynamic. Clark with Mon-El, Conner with Clark.]]
* TookALevelInKindness: In season 2, [[spoiler:in which he accepts Superboy]]. Not that he was horrifically unkind before so much as too distant for his own good.
* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: His reaction when he learns SelfDemonstrating/LexLuthor took the credit for stopping the Reach and is now the favorite for "new secretary-general of the United Nations". It's actually quite funny.

[[quoteright:210:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Young_Justice_Batman_9503_3709.png]]
->Voiced by BruceGreenwood
The Dark Knight of Gotham city. Like always, he's brooding and suspicious, but his caring nature is much closer to the surface than in most interpretations. He has a close relationship with the first Robin, Dick, and eventually takes the entire Team under his wing.
* AnimalMotifs: A bat, as usual.
* ArsonMurderAndLifesaving: Pulls this one on the team in "Drop Zone".
** And again in "Usual Suspects".
* BadassBaritone: Has a deep voice and is Batman.
* BadassCape: He's Batman after all.
* BadassNormal: To the point where he has the respect from, and authority over, beings with various superpowers even though he has none of his own.
* BigGood: He’s the League Chairman in Season One. He may seem (and sometimes is) hard and strict on the team, but he ultimately praises them and encourages them to work together.
* BrainyBrunette: Dark and and the Goddamn Batman.
* BrokenPedestal: In "Disordered," Dick tells Black Canary that he'd always wanted and expected to be Batman when he grew up, but his stint as leader in "Failsafe" made him realize that he just can't be the obsessive, at-all-costs kind of person that Bruce is. "Agendas" shows that Bruce himself would be nothing but relieved by this.
* CrazyPrepared: He's Batman after all.
* DarkIsNotEvil: [[RunningGag Again]], Batman.
* DatingCatwoman: Talia al Ghul declares her love for Batman in issue #11 of the tie-in comic, while Batman is noticeably bothered by the fact that [[spoiler:she's going to hate him because her father, Ra's, temporarily died during the fight]].
* DeadpanSnarker: Not in front of the team, but when it's just he and Robin on a mission:
-->'''Ra's al Ghul''': Why are our encounters always so... adversarial?
-->'''Batman''': Something to do with your disdain with human life.
* {{Determinator}}: According to Robin, who's figured out it's not all it's cracked up to be.
* DotingParent: Hmm, do I try to prevent my friend, the President of Qurac's assassination or do I go to my kid's birthday party? Well, Superboy and Miss Martian can handle the first one, right?
* DrillSergeantNasty: Subverted in "Drop Zone" where at first he appears to be furious that they made so many mistakes in their first mission, [[ArsonMurderAndLifesaving only to tell them that they did a good job.]]
** It's particularly notable coming from ''Batman'', who in several other media is very obsessive about his plans not going the way he originally wanted. Here, he first scolds them for not listening to his orders before praising them for reacting well once the situation changed.
* DynamicEntry: Done this twice already, once in the pilot episode and then in "Downtime".
* ExpressiveMask: One can know if he's angry.
* GoodParents: When noticing that Robin was jealous of the attention he was giving to Kaldur, Batman simply invites Robin for some basketball with him to assure him that no one would replace him.
* HeroicBuild: Muscular? Check. Hero? Double check.
* ParentalSubstitute: He is very much this to Dick Grayson. Dick actually gets jealous in one episode when Bruce privately lectures Aqualad after a disastrous mission. Bruce then alleviates Dick's concerns by playing basketball with him (claiming that it's "training").
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He consistently appears hard and authoritarian, but fair and judicial.
* RoleReprisal: From ''[[WesternAnimation/BatmanUnderTheRedHood Batman: Under the Red Hood]]''.
* SecretKeeper: Knew Captain Marvel was a ten-year-old kid.
** Knew Artemis was the daughter of Huntress and Sportsmaster.
* StealthHiBye: Is able to pull this of in the middle of a fight!
* TheStoic
** NotSoStoic: In "Disordered," he makes a squirmy face when J'onn scolds him for overestimating the Team's ability to recover from the trauma of "Failsafe," and he sighs in disappointment when Superboy runs off without his radio. There's also "Agendas," where his voice becomes heavier and his shoulders slump when he admits that he ''didn't'' want Robin to turn out like him.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: He's '''Bruce Wayne'''. It's to be expected.
** TallDarkAndSnarky: When he shows his snarky side.
* TeamDad
* TookALevelInKindness: Compared to other incarnations where he's TheStoic, he's much more expressive here.
* UnclePennybags: Besides being Dick's and Tim's legal guardian, he also provides for Superboy's expenses and gives Artemis an expensive scholarship to a private school.

-> ''When all is said and done, the question must be - whom do we trust?''
->Voiced by Creator/MaggieQ
Wonder Woman seems to stand as the moral center of the League. She takes a backseat in the story for the majority of the time, but is quick to call Superman and Batman out on their mistakes, and takes on Wonder Girl as her protege between seasons 1 and 2.
* ActionGirl
* BadassPrincess
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses
* FlyingBrick
* FriendToAllChildren: {{Implied}}. She didn't agree with Batman's choice of letting Robin I enter the world of crimefighting at the age of nine; earlier, Wonder Woman didn't like the idea of Captain Marvel being in the League when he is only ten.

->Voiced by George Eads (Season 1, "Bloodlines"), Creator/JamesArnoldTaylor ("Endgame")
Mentor to Kid Flash, ''the'' Flash has taken up his mantel from its previous owner, Garrick. He's a dedicated uncle and mentor, and one of the more friendly League members, though still serious when needed.
* AscendedFanboy: In the tie-in comics, Wally explains that Barry was a big fan of The Flash and spent a lot of time talking to Jay Garrick before duplicating the FreakLabAccident that gave him his powers.
* BigEater: Pretty much a given because he has to eat to regain his super speed.
* CatchPhrase: "[[IncrediblyLamePun Back in a flash!]]"
** Lampshaded by the Flash Family
---> '''Impulse''': "Does he say that often?"
--->'''Rest of the Family''': *sigh* "Too often."

* ExpressiveMask
* GreenEyes
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: A NiceGuy who's also a super hero.
* HappilyMarried: to Wally West's aunt Iris.
* HotScientist: When The Flash becomes Barry Allen, he's a CSI for the police; Barry has a degree in forensic science.
* InSeriesNickname: "Bartholomew" is his full name, but he's nicknamed "Barry".
* LegacyCharacter: As seen in "Downtime", the Flash family has had several generations of speedsters.
* LongingLook: To Iris in "Failsafe," but subtle since they're on air at the time and aliens are killing everyone.
* MundaneUtility: In "Downtime", he uses his super speed to clear the dinner table inside of ten seconds.
* NiceGuy: Which Mary West has been heard to hope will rub off on Wally.
* NotHisSled: [[spoiler:In the finale he recreates his famous death scene with his two proteges. Except in a twist he doesn't die, Wally does. It even looked like he was going to give his life to save his but when he got to him he was already beyond saving.]]
* OhCrap: A much more tragic and heartbreaking one, but [[spoiler: the look on his face when it's clear that he can't save Wally in Endgame is all over this]]
* RedIsHeroic: Like always The Flash is a hero and sports his signature red suit.
* ScienceHero: He gained his powers by carefully recreating Jay Garrick's accident in a controlled experiment, and is a police scientist in his day job.
-->'''Kid Flash:''' "Are you having a CSI moment?"
-->'''Flash:''' "Kid, I was [=CSI=] before anybody knew what [=CSI=] was."

He still doesn't appear or contribute nearly as often as other members of the League because he a) doesn't have a sidekick on the team and b) has a really notorious case of StoryBreakerPower.

King of Atlantis, mentor to Aqualad, and later Lagoon Boy.
* BadassBeard: Much like [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold another Aquaman]], he maintains his classic look whilst having the beard the character was first seen with during the 90's.
* ChewToy: [[spoiler: He thinks Aqualad has betrayed him, Aquagirl is dead, and Lagoon Boy has been captured by Aqualad and Black Manta]].
** [[spoiler:Is faring a bit better after "Before the Dawn" now that Lagoon Boy has been rescued but now Aqualad is catatonic as a result.]]

The supposed "Uncle" of Artemis, Green Arrow is a friendly face, politician and capable fighter. He suffered a falling-out with his first side-kick, Speedy (who took on the mantel Red Arrow) though he still cares deeply for him and tried to bring him back to the straight and narrow. Took Artemis on as his new protege to teach her his skills and [[spoiler: give her an outlet for her super-heroing, per Batman's request]]. In a relationship with Black Canary.
* BadassBeard
* BadassNormal
* BlatantLies: Claiming Artemis is his niece, which Red Arrow knew immediately was a lie.
* ButtMonkey: [[spoiler:He has it worse than Aquaman. He thinks Artemis is dead, Red Arrow RageQuit, and the original Speedy (Now Arsenal) was pissed off that he stopped looking and went to try and assassinate Luthor]].
* CoolUncle: To Artemis though it's an obvious lie. [[spoiler: After Roy marries Cheshire, Green Arrow technically becomes this to Artemis.]]
* DoomMagnet: Starts to see himself as this in "Satisfaction".
* ExpressiveMask
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: See NiceGuy

* MentorOccupationalHazard: Inverted. [[spoiler: As of "Satisfaction" (Season 2, Episode 8), Oliver comes to consider himself a complete failure as a mentor. Speedy I was kidnapped and replaced by a clone without him ever noticing, something which his former protégé angrily [[GetOut chews him out for]] in addition to having stopped looking for him. Red Arrow fell into a CloningBlues-induced spiral of self-destruction that Oliver couldn't avert. Finally, as far as he knows, Artemis was just killed in the line of duty]].
* NiceGuy: One of the easiest League members to talk to and is a member of the Justice League.
* OfficialCouple: With Black Canary.
* ParentalSubstitute: {{Implied}}. WordOfGod confirmed that Artemis always admired Green Arrow, even before she joined TheTeam.

Zatara appears to be one of the older Leaguers-- while Martian Manhunter and Wonder Woman have the years, they age differently. Zatara took a turn as the team's Den Mother after Captain Marvel and later brought his daughter, Zatanna, to meet them.
* BadassInANiceSuit

A powerful hand-to-hand fighter aided with her "sonic scream", Black Canary is one of the main mentors to the team. Although her role was initially to train them in fighting and make sure they didn't get into trouble, she stepped into a more emotionally supportive role, even offering them therapy sessions when necessary. In a relationship with Green Arrow.
* AuthorAppeal: Creator/GregWeisman [[WordOfGod admits]] that her prominent role is at least partially because she's his favorite DC character.

[[WMG: [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel]] (Billy Batson)]]
[[quoteright:150:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Captain_Marvel_9655.png]]
->Captain Marvel voiced by Rob Lowe ("Alpha Male" & "Humanity"), Chad Lowe ("Secrets" and after)
->Billy Batson voiced by Robert Ochoa (Season 1), Chad Lowe (Season 2)
Though on the surface just a brave and chivalrous super-hero, Captain Marvel is actually just a good-hearted young boy in a powered adult's body. A little boy who just really, ''really'' wants the Team and Justice League to like him. Don't let his puppy-dog demeanor fool you, though. His good nature earned his powerful abilities, and when he's not fooling around, he's pretty wise, too.
* {{Adorkable}}: He tries so hard to fit in.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Being a young boy on the inside, Billy can be easily distracted by something cool. Like tigers.
* AscendedFanboy: Billy idolizes all heroes.
* {{Badass}}: As Captain Marvel, he is an [[IncorruptiblePurePureness incorruptibly pure]] FlyingBrick and world renowned hero; as 10-year old kid Billy Batson... he's even ''better''. Billy was willing to risk oblivion to save somebody's life, and kept a cool head during a global catastrophe when all the adults of the world disappeared. The episode "Misplaced" is basically about why he deserves the power of Captain Marvel.
** 15 year old Billy is no slouch either. During his fight with Despero he went PapaWolf in order to protect The Team and while he ''had '' to know it would end badly if it didn’t work, he tried to use his transformation lighting as his ace against Despero. It didn’t work, but it’s the thought that counts.
* BrainyBrunette: Has the Wisdom of Solomon.
* ButtMonkey: He constantly tries to get close to the team, who are essentially his peers. The team tends to assume that he's as authoritarian and hard-nosed as the other members of the League, so they (often unintentionally) undermine, take advantage of, or otherwise reject him in the process of saving the day. It's probably not the case after Billy revealed who he really was to them in "Misplaced".
* CallingYourAttacks: He would sometimes announce or reference which of his powers he was using at a time, whether it was using the Power of Zeus and Speed of Mercury to drill into the ground, or cite the Wisdom of Solomon as the source of his good advice.
* FlyingBrick
* GenreSavvy: He doesn't waste time trying to convince the team who he is-- he skips straight to "Quick, read my mind!"
* HenshinHero
* HeroicBuild
* HeIsAllGrownUp: 15 year old Billy Batson, ladies and gentlemen.
* HonoraryTrueCompanion: Honorary because he won't join the team; he's part of the Justice League. During Invasion, the League usually paired with former team members Rocket and Zatanna, and he was with Zatanna helping the group who lived at Mount Justice move.
* ImStandingRightHere: After his secret's revealed to the League at large, they have to debate whether he can stay.
--> '''Red Tornado:''' He does possess an adult body and the wisdom of Solomon.
--> '''Aquaman:''' Wisdom does not equal maturity.
--> '''Marvel:''' Hey, I'm sitting right here!
* JustAKid: He gets this treatment from some of the League in "Agendas" after real age was revealed.
* ManChild: As with [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} the comic example]], Captain Marvel is really a kid. However, none of the teens know his real form, so he definitely comes off as being this trope.
* {{Nephewism}}: In this version, Billy is being properly cared for by his Uncle Dudley.
* NiceGuy: The nicest.
* OneOfTheKids: Captain Marvel is known for retaining his innocence, but this incarnation is especially childish.
* PapaWolf: In order to protect the team from Despero. Considering his true age, maybe its more of a BigBrotherInstinct.
* SecretKeeper: Billy has to keep the identity of Captain Marvel a secret due to the fact that he's really a ten-year-old kid. As of "Misplaced", the Team knows about his true identity. It's also clear that Batman knows but other Leaguers like Zatara don't, though they find out after this.
* SixthRanger: How he views himself in regards to the team. Unfortunately for him, the team didn't know that he's a kid until he revealed himself in "Misplaced", so they did what they can to keep him out of the loop.
* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: Billy goes back to the world of kids in Misplaced and asks Miss Martian to read his mind to prove that he's really Captain Marvel. Kid Flash doesn't buy it. Then, Billy goes:
-->'''Billy:''' Gee Wally, do I ''really'' have to bring you nachos and pineapple juice to get on your good side?
* SuperStrength
* TagalongKid: Despite never being a kid at the time.
* WhatTheHellHero: In "Agendas", he's the first Leaguer to call out Nabu for the events of "Misplaced". He doesn't know why they're even keeping him in the League.
** Shortly after, however, the rest of the League, particularly Wonder Woman, call ''him'' out for concealing his age.
* WiseBeyondTheirYears: {{Lampshaded}} by Captain Marvel himself (the "wise" part anyway), when Aqualad thanks him for a pep talk.
-->'''Marvel:''' Hey, wisdom of Solomon.
** Seems to be in an "Only when I feel like it" way, since whenever nothing serious is going down, he's just a big kid.
** As pointed out by Aquaman when the League finds out about his alter-ego, "wise" doesn't necessarily mean "mature".
* YouDidntAsk: The reason why he hid his age from the Justice League.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: As Captain Marvel. Billy looks his young age.

* BadassCape

* FakeDefector
* HelpingWouldBeKillstealing: Every time the team ask for help he tells them they have to do it on their own.

* RobotBuddy
* TheStoic: He is a robot, so stoicism isn't unexpected for him. "Auld Acquaintance", however, shows that, while in his "John Smith" body, he can display emotion far more readily.

* AttackReflector: In "War", he is able to absorb the beam from the [=WarWorld=]'s WaveMotionGun and send it right back, utterly wrecking the gun.
%%* BadassBaritone
%%* BadassCape: Whoever wears the Helmet of Fate.
* ClingyCostume: Once someone puts on the Helmet of Fate, it cannot be removed unless Nabu wants it to.
* CombatStilettos: When possessing [[spoiler: Zatanna.]]
* ConverseWithTheUnconscious: regularly converses with whoever is serving as his host, even though he's fully inhabiting their body.
* CoolHelmet: Essentially IS the helmet.
* ForbiddenChekhovsGun: The helmet is mentioned during a crisis and the league considers if they're desperate enough to use it. Every time someone puts the helmet on it's because the situation has crossed the GodzillaThreshold.
* GoodIsNotNice: He's never claimed to be good.
* TheHatMakesTheMan: Possesses the body of whoever puts on the Helmet.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Kent Nelson. His spirit did reside in the Helmet of Fate for a while, but Fate eventually got tired of his nagging every time someone used the helmet and sent him off to the afterlife.]]
* LargeHam: He's not too emotive, but nearly everything Nabu says has a tremendous amount of gravitas.
--> '''Fate''': '''[[AC: Wotan! You are mine!]]'''
* LightIsNotGood: Calling him good is generous, all things considered, yet, his golden light powers and ankh symbol definitely render him light aligned.
* LegacyCharacter: Several people have wore the Helmet of Fate but most of them temporarily.
* MaskOfPower: The Helmet of Fate turns the wearer into a host for an extremely powerful Lord of Order, who's got some crazy powerful magic abilities.
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: He's called Doctor Fate, but whether he is a doctor is unspecified.
* OrderVersusChaos: Represents order, and not necessarily in a good or nice way.
* PowerMakesYourVoiceDeep: Wearing the Helmet of Fate will make the wearer speak with Nabu's deep voice overlying their voice.
* PowersThatBe: Is a personification of order given form on the physical plane.
* TokenEvilTeammate: While more morally ambiguous than outright evil, compared to the rest of the League he's very dark.
* UnscrupulousHero: His actions are motivated purely by a desire to maintain order rather than any moral compulsion and he has few qualms about suppressing the identity of (and effectively killing) anyone he possesses, even if they're children - though he was convinced to release [[spoiler: both Kid Flash and Aqualad]] without anyone else sacrificing themselves, and he is at least aware that putting on the helmet ''is'' a sacrifice. For example, when he possesses [[spoiler: Zatanna]]:
--> "[[AC:Fate decrees [[spoiler: her]] sacrifice will not be in vain!]]"
* VoiceOfTheLegion: A ([[AntiHero largely]]) heroic example. Whoever wears the Helmet of Fate will speak with Nabu's deep voice overlying their voice.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He is absolutely convinced that the world needs him (and not without reason), and if that means whatever mortal happens to be wearing the helmet never gets to take it off, so be it. It's reached the point that Captain Marvel doesn't understand why they're letting him stay in the League. Nabu replies that [[spoiler: Zatara]] wants him there so they can [[MoralityChain keep an eye on him]].

* IncredibleShrinkingMan
* ScienceHero
* TronLines
[[/folder]]
[[folder:19: Plastic Man]]
[[WMG: ComicBook/PlasticMan]]
* FunPersonified: He's nearly always smiling, and according to Captain Marvel, stages practical jokes every April Fool's Day. At one point, the mere mention of his name sends Cap into uncontrollable laughter.
* PerpetualSmiler
* RubberMan
* TheVoiceless

[[folder:20: Icon]]
[[WMG: ComicBook/{{Icon}} (Augustus Freeman)]]
->''We both seem to have found teams that suit us.''
->Voiced by Creator/TonyTodd
* BadassBaritone
* BigDamnHeroes: Saves a crashing helicopter
* ExiledFromContinuity: He and Rocket can't appear in the tie-in comics after issue #20. Noticeably, he was on the solicited covers for #22 & 23, but by publication time, he'd been photoshopped out.
* FlyingBrick
* GeniusBruiser: In addition to being a powerful superhero, Icon is also experienced in handling interplanetary law.
* GutturalGrowler
* HandBlast
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: If they're sticking to the comic origin, he arrived on Earth in the 1800s and has been doing the MyGrandsonMyself thing to avoid suspicion.

[[folder:22: Blue Beetle II]]
[[WMG: ComicBook/BlueBeetle II (Ted Kord)]]
The second Blue Beetle. His death in a lab explosion indirectly led to Jaime finding the Scarab and becoming his successor.
* BadassNormal: He never used the Scarab himself, just based his hero persona on it.
* ColorCharacter
* DyingMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler: Going head to head against both Deathstroke and Sportsmaster at the same time in order to keep the Light from getting the Scarab forever cements him extremely {{Badass}}. Taking into account the fact that Jaime ended up getting it, this also means that the explosion which claimed his life probably wasn't deliberate on the part of the villains.]]
* GadgeteerGenius: Batgirl's dialogue in "Intervention" and everyone's initial belief that the Scarab was something he created implies that he was this.
* GenreSavvy: Of the ProperlyParanoid type. Ted knew better than to just slap a piece of alien technology onto his back and hope for the best.
** On the other hand, had he done so he might have survived his encounter with Deathstroke and Sportsmaster.
* LegacyCharacter: The second ComicBook/BlueBeetle.
* PosthumousCharacter: He died during the TimeSkip between seasons 1 and 2, making him this in relation to season 2 (he would have been alive during season 1, but he never appeared).
* SonicStunner: Apparently his weapon of choice, no doubt inspired by the Scarab armor's version.

[[folder:23: Black Lightning]]
[[WMG: ComicBook/BlackLightning (Jefferson Pierce)]]
->Voiced by Creator/KharyPayton
* BaldOfAwesome
* ColorCharacter
* CoolShades

* MeaningfulName: Not only does is he of African descent and have electrical powers, but he generates literally black lightning.
* ShockAndAwe: With a distinctive black coloration.

[[folder:24: Green Lantern (Guy Gardner)]]
[[WMG: Comicbook/GreenLantern (Guy Gardner)]]
Earth's third Green Lantern. When the League considers an expansion in "Agendas", the Flash puts his name forward - something Hal and John are both ''very'' opposed to.
* BigDamnHeroes: Saves a falling bus of children when Green Arrow, Red Arrow, and Black Canary all fail to stop it from falling.
* ImaginationBasedSuperpower
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Implied. Judging by Hal’s and John’s NoJustNoReaction at the idea of letting Guy join the League and Cassie’s own exclamation that he doesn’t like anyone one could reasonably say that he’s a bit difficult in terms of personality. However, Guy is a hero first, as seen when he saves a bus full of innocents. Nightwing also says that Guy is actually fond of Jaime Reyes in his own way (Which is quite possibly a ShoutOut to the fact Guy was rather fond of Jaime in the comics as well), which is a telling thing for Cassie.
* NoJustNoReaction: How Hal and John react to the proposal of adding Guy to the League.
** [[spoiler: According to WordOfGod, they eventually add him to the League anyway.]]
* RedHeadedHero
* SleevesAreForWimps
