History Characters / YoungJusticeJusticeLeague

* DudeMagnet: Besides being in a relationship with Green Arrow, Kid Flash flirted with her the first time they meet. M'Gann took Dinah's form to engage in a shapeshifter makeout game with Superboy, implying the young man has a small crush on her. And one of Victor Stone's classmates commented that he had a crush on her.

* SexyMentor: To Superboy, leading to M'Gann taking her form in a little shapeshifter makeout game with him. Dinah herself is not pleased.

* MindRape: M'gann rips the memories out of his mind and leaves him catatonic in "Before The Dawn".

* BigBrotherInstinct: He does not respond well to people trash talking or attacking Connor.
** In the tie in comics where Superman fried Brainiac with his heat vision for insulting Superboy.

** He was Connor's first choice to be his Best Man for his wedding and said 'Yes' before fully processing the fact that Connor was even getting married since he's been busy off world.

* TheFace: He's the most popular and recognizable hero in the world, but he's not the leader of the Justice League. In fact, even with the rotating chairmen positions, we've never actually seen him in charge once or take any real declarative positions (besides nominating Icon for League induction). He seems content to simply defer to others' opinions and decisions while remaining the League's spokesmen.

* ThatThingIsNotMyChild: Deconstructed and [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. 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. Also, to be fair, pretty much anybody would be freaked out by the idea of a younger copy of themselves walking around. Since he is [[AllLovingHero Superman]] he never acts in a negative way towards connor and is simply distant and visibly uncomfortable around Conner but not repulsed or disgusted. 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.

* OverlordJr: As the son of Black Manta.

* RapidAging: In Season 3, he's more visibly aged (to the point of having {{Skunk Stripe}}s) than how he looked in Season 1 and Season 2, despite being in his thirties to forties. It can be assumed this is [[RealityEnsues due to stress]] (yet other superheroes don't seem to have this problem)... [[AmbiguousSituation or something else.]]

* MeaningfulName: "Roy" is Gaelic and English for "red" which is [[RedIsHeroic part of his attire as a hero.]]

* SettleForSibling: In season 3, after being abandoned by Jade, Will develops mutual attraction with her sister Artemis. [[spoiler:Subverted by the end of the season as they decide to remain friends.]]

* ColorCharacter: '''Black''' Lightning

* TheHeart: For Nightwing's squad, he's always the one most willing to object to the morally ambiguous choices they sometimes face. [[spoiler:It's for this reason that Nightwing nominates him to be the new leader of the Justice League at the end of the season.]]

* RankUp: [[spoiler:Becomes the new leader of the Justice League at the end of season 3.]]

* WillfullyWeak: Black Lightning is one of Nightwing's Team's biggest heavy hitters, and his special brand of electricity could vaporize most of his enemies with ease. However, his refusal to kill means he holds back a great deal. When he's faced against Devastation, who boasts that she can withstand his electricity, he points just how lucky she is for that [[TheGlovesComeOff before electrocuting her in a single blast]]. He's strong enough to pin down even [[spoiler:''Metron'', a New God.]]

Magician and teenage daughter of Giovanni Zatara. She joins the team in their search for Red Tornado. Zatanna later ends up joining the team in full after her father becomes the latest host of Doctor Fate. [[LoveAtFirstSight Robin takes]] [[ShipTease an immediate liking to her.]]

* CostumeEvolution: Her outfit remains basically the same when she's older, but now [[FanservicePack shows cleavage.]]

* ShoutOutToShakespeare: Her go-to spell for creating bursts of fire is [[Theatre/{{Macbeth}} "Erif nrub, nordluac elbbub!"]]

* YoungerAndHipper: Zatanna in the modern-day comics is about the same age as Bruce Wayne; the two having been {{Retconned}} into being ChildhoodFriends (which had originated from the DCAU), as well as her being an occasional LoveInterest for him . This version of her is made a contemporary of Dick Grayson instead, making her almost two decades younger than Bruce in this series, as well as shifting her status as a friend and occasional LoveInterest to Dick as well. However, it's been brought up by Creator/GregWeisman that Zatanna was originally introduced into the comics as a teenager in the '60s, when Dick Grayson was still a teenager, too. Zatanna was simply allowed to "grow up" faster than Dick, due to becoming the universe's de facto magician after her father died, while Dick must always be younger than Batman. He also noted that there are very few cases of a superhero legacy between a parent and child, and that by not taking advantage of Giovanni and Zatanna Zatara's relationship, the show would have lost something.

* AmbiguouslyGay: [[https://www.bleedingcool.com/2013/08/16/could-we-have-had-a-gay-aqualad/ Is not straight according]] to WordOfGod, and this is actually followed through in the official DC comics continuity. Rocket kissed him on New Year's and WordOfGod is that they dated a bit afterward. Actually has enough HomoeroticSubtext to leave fans speculating for a while; it's not clear if he is gay and Tula [[IfItsYouItsOkay was an exception]] or if he's attracted to [[AmbiguouslyBi both men and women.]] [[spoiler:As of season 3 he has a boyfriend, and WordOfGod has confirmed him as bisexual or polysexual]].

* BadassArmFold: Best shown in the episode [[http://www.ksitetv.com/wp-content/gallery/secrets/345_678b084.jpg "Secrets."]]

* TheCaptain: Batman has been known to refer to "You and your team" when talking to Aqualad; in addition, he reports directly to Batman after the team completes missions. He becomes [[TheDragon a villainous example]] after his FaceHeelTurn. But see FakeDefector

* DarkIsNotEvil: His "evil" outfit in season 2 certainly makes him ''look'' more evil

* TheDragon: To Black Manta in Season 2. He turns out to be a DragonWithAnAgenda: He's still a good guy, and just using his father to get closer to the Light and their new partner

* EvilCostumeSwitch: After joining his father and becoming Black Manta II, complete with a [[GoodHairEvilHair creepier haircut]]
* EvilFormerFriend: Subverted. It's all part of the plan

* EyeBeams: As Black Manta II
* FaceHeelTurn: In Season 2, but it turns out he's a FakeDefector
* FallenHero: In Season 2, but later subverted

* FreudianExcuse: His first love Tula was killed as a direct result of becoming involved with the Team, and he's been trying to hurt his own father for years because of the lies of a man whom he called both his king and his friend. This turns out to be a subversion; he's a FakeDefector
* GuileHero: This and his levelheadedness is why he was chosen to be leader in the first season. He was also the one who started the plan to infiltrate the villains by pretending to be evil to get close to his father. Together only he, Wally, Artemis, Dick know of this ruse
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: So far: Aqualad's good, but then he's bad, then he's still good, then he might just be pretending to be good, then he actually is good. He was, however, GoodAllAlong

* HeartbrokenBadass: After Tula chooses Garth over him. After her death in-between seasons, it's stated to be the catalyst for his (fake) FaceHeelTurn

* HeroicSacrifice: Sacrifices himself in "Failsafe" to save Martian Manhunter, who eventually turns out to be the key to freeing everyone from the UnwinnableTrainingSimulation they're trapped in

** No longer true as of Season 2. However, his leadership qualities are what makes him a dangerous villain, and it's notable that he makes sure [[NoOneGetsLeftBehind all of his mooks have time to escape]]
** After rejoining the team after completing his mission, Nightwing immediately defers leadership back to Kaldur

* LickedByTheDog: In "Darkest", Sphere rolls right up to him and doesn't even sound the alarm after he gives her a pet, like in old times. This makes him feel even more guilty about blowing up Mount Justice in order to secure his cover

* LoveMakesYouEvil: Subverted, as he's a FakeDefector

** He is so convincing that even Wally, who is in on the plan, is concerned that Aqualad might really be an evil ''triple'' agent playing Nightwing

* MeaningfulRename: Becomes Black Manta II after his [[FakeDefector fake]] FaceHeelTurn, as he's the son of Black Manta
* MindRape: M'gann rips the memories out of his mind and leaves him catatonic in "Before The Dawn"

* MoleInCharge: Not in charge, but he is TheDragon to Black Manta

** He actually explains all the reasons for his apparent FaceHeelTurn before the end of his first appearance as a villain in "Alienated"

** In "Complications," while pretending to be an EmptyShell, Chesire hurls a sai at him (which is blocked at the last second by Miss Martian) and Aqualad doesn't so much as blink

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Took Deathstroke out of the picture offscreen, allowing Miss Martian to take his place in "Summit."

* PoweredArmor: Kaldur's Black Manta uniform in season two. It gives Kaldur missile launchers and EyeBeams on top of the Atlantean abilities [[ClothesMakeTheSuperman his father lacks]]

* RageAgainstTheMentor: Calls out Aquaman for hiding the identity of his true father. In "Alienated" it was probably part of the ruse, but in ''Legacy'', he was genuinely hurt and angered

* RedeemingReplacement: He is in fact a deep cover agent

* SadisticChoice: Gives one to Superboy and Nightwing after his FaceHeelTurn, either fight him and try to bring him in or disarm a bomb that could kill a lot of Kroloteans and the other heroes in the base. The worst part is they couldn't even disarm the bomb. He was trying to warn Nightwing about the bomb without blowing his cover

** Again in "Darkest" where Kaldur blows up Mount Justice to prove his loyalty to The Light and their partner

* TranquilFury: Kaldur is the definition of this trope until season two, though that is likely an act

* UndyingLoyalty: After "Alpha Male" Kaldur stands up and defends his team mates no matter what. Subverted after his FaceHeelTurn, though it's arguably because he felt the team betrayed him when Tula died. Then double subverted when it turns out he's been a FakeDefector all along

* WhiteSheep: He is a hero while his father Black Manta is a villain. Double subverted in Season 2

* BoundAndGagged:
** Harm, [[https://i.imgur.com/hd76OOo.png binds and gags Zatanna]] to subdue her vocal powers in "Secrets".

-->'''Fear not! Fate has intervened!'''

-->'''[[AC:Wotan! You are mine!]]'''

* TookALevelInKindness: ... but his disposition improves somewhat after getting a permanent host.

--> [[AC:"Fate decrees her sacrifice will not be in vain!"]]

-->'''Fate: [[AC: Wotan! You are mine!]]'''

-->'''Fate''': '''[[AC: Wotan! You are mine!]]'''

--> "[[AC:Fate decrees her sacrifice will not be in vain!]]"

* ImaginationBasedSuperpower Being a Green Lantern, his ring can create anything he can think of.

* MorphicResonance. As a young adult, Billy now shares the same voice as Captain Marvel.

Icon is a superhero of [[WordOfGod extraterrestrial origin,]] partner and mentor to Rocket, and a member of the Justice League.

* BlackAndNerdy: African-American and is a [[WordOfGod lawyer.]]

* BetterAsFriends: [[spoiler: Ultimately where he and Artemis start and then end up again in season 3]]

* AgeLift: She's mostly portrayed as a woman in her thirties in most adaptions (particularly in the DCAU) and about he same age as Batman himself, but here she's introduced as a teenager a few years older than Dick Grayson.

* BrutalHonesty: He tends not to bother with beating around the bush, most of the time.

* NotSoStoic: Sometimes, since it's indicated that his personality is at least somewhat influenced by whoever is serving as host at the time.
** When being hosted by Zatara, he breaks his usual emotionless attitude when Zatanna is considered for League membership. This is noticed by the rest of the League.

* CharacterDevelopment: He first starts out as submissive in the first few episodes and later emerges as TheLeader of the RagtagBunchOfMisfits. He then goes on to become a ReverseMole in his villainous father's organization.

* InTheBlood: Goes evil after finding out his father is Black Manta. Later subverted when it's revealed he's actually a ReverseMole.

* ReverseMole: Infiltrated Black Manta's organization to get intel on the Light.

* SuperDickery: Shows up as an [[HiddenHeartOfGold apparent villain]] out for revenge against all his friends in the early episodes of season 2. It's eventually revealed he's actually a ReverseMole for the Team.

* ClipboardOfAuthority: PlayedForLaughs as he treats his Bowhunter Security Clipboard as SeriousBusiness, deliberately flipping through it to annoy Dick, and later his documents on the clipboard allow him to stop Brick's scheme to steal Goode Goggles as his men are not the one listed on the clipboard, and he even uses it as an ImprovisedWeapon to take out Brick.

* InterspeciesRomance: {{Zigzagged|Trope}} with Cheshire. Both are human, but he's technically a clone of another human.

** Come ''Outsiders'', he goes by Will (from Roy's middle name, William), likely to differentiate himself from the original.

* MiddleNameBasis: By the third season, he prefers to go by Will which is his middle name of William. Understandable considering his issues of being the clone of the original Roy and wanting to be his own person.

*** Played with in the audio episode "The Prize" where Will receives teasing for his dad bod, with Will noting he somehow gained weight despite being one Cadmus's genetically modified clones. Captain Boomerang even dismissively calls Will "Captain Beer Belly," much to Will's frustration (and he still manages to take Boomerang down with one punch).

** It's revealed in Season 3 that he lets Zatanna and Zatara speak for one hour every year. Considering he's under no obligation to grant them even that meager time, that he allows it all is kind for him.

* 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 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 Zatanna:

* OlderThanSheLooks: Her official stats say she's ninety-years-old (of course, she ''is'' partially immortal; physically she's roughly in her 30s).

* TheLeader: In ''Outsiders'', she and Kaldur are co-chairmen of the Justice League with Kaldur handling part of the league still on earth while she's leading the rest of the league in space.

* BadassGay: Has always been a strong fighter and cunning strategist, and as of season 3 Greg Weisman's intentions for him to be attracted to men have come into fruition.

*** Played with in the audio episode "The Prize" where Will receives teasing for his dad, with Will noting he somehow gained weight despite being one Cadmus's genetically modified clones. Captain Boomerang even dismissively calls Will "Captain Beer Belly," much to Will's frustration (and he still manages to take Boomerang down with one punch).

* WeightWoe: When he first appears after the TimeSkip in the second season, his muscular frame appears somewhat malnourished as a result of neglecting his health due to his relentless hunt for the original Roy Harper. By the third season, he's regained his musculature but has also gained some pounds with a noticeable belly. This serves to highlight he's in a better place physically, mentally, and emotionally.

* {{Adorkable}}: As Clark Kent, trying to get to know Conner. As soon as he's out of earshot, Conner calls him pushy.

* {{Adorkable}}: He tries so hard to fit in.

* {{Adorkable}}: After spending the first two seasons as rather uptight and angry, by the third season his demeanor's completely changed. He makes bad puns and jokes about diarrhea, is openly worried about his insurance premiums when Brick attacks his car, and gets adorably flustered during his time with the moms in "Home Fires." In short, he is such a ''dad''.

* {{Adorkable}}: In Season 1, at least, where she shares Robin's love of wordplay and occasionally mixes BuffySpeak into her magic spells.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: As of "Misplaced", she's the only member of the team who lacks a mentor counterpart on the Justice League, thanks to her father taking up the mantle of Doctor Fate.

* InterspeciesRomance: As tradition, he's in a relationship with Lois Lane. Season 3 reveals that him and Lois now have a son, Jon Kent.
