!!''Cassandra Savage''
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yj_cassandrasavage.png]]
%%[[caption-width-right:300:some caption text]]
!!!'''Species:''' Metahuman
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ZehraFazal

Vandal Savage's daughter and a member of the League of Shadows.
----
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Cassandra has a noticeably darker skin tone than her father, but lighter than her sister. She's clearly mixed-race, as her father is a Neanderthal, but her mother's ethnicity is unclear.
* AntiVillain: Cassandra genuinely believes in her father as a hero and savior, and regards fighting beside him as defending the Earth, not unlike any of the Team feel when they fight alongside their Justice League mentors. She's also fond of her sister Olympia, [[spoiler:expresses shock when Savage euthanises her]], and mentions a friendship with [[spoiler:Tara Markov]] that was formed while the two trained with the League of Shadows, expressing disappointment at [[spoiler:Tara's]] absence from Santa Prisca.
* CanonImmigrant: Cassandra Savage first appeared in ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'', and was herself a CompositeCharacter of Kassidy Savage and Scandal Savage.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler:Although she quickly justifies it as merciful, Cassandra is clearly shocked at seeing her father kill Olympia.]]
* TheStoic: Unlike her more eccentric older sister, Cassandra is much more serious.
* VillainousFriendship: In "Exceptional Human Beings", Cassandra mentions taking a liking to [[spoiler:Tara Markov]] during their training with the other Shadows.

[[folder:Olympia Savage]]
!!''Olympia Savage''
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yj_olympiasavage.png]]
%%[[caption-width-right:300:some caption text]]
!!!'''Species:''' Metahuman
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Jenifer Lewis

The elderly daughter of Vandal Savage.
----
* AntiVillain: Only a "villain" in the sense that she's entirely loyal to [[BigBad Vandal Savage]], and even then, Olympia never commits any villainous deeds in her screentime, and her loyalty to Savage is based almost entirely in her adoration of her beloved father.
* CanonForeigner: Olympia does not exist in [=DC=] Comics, nor did she exist in the first pass of episode 7's script. Vietti conceived of her and added her in rewrites.
* DaddysGirl: She has an almost childlike enthusiasm for her father's story, openly regards him as a savior, and is clearly much beloved by Vandal in turn. [[spoiler:Vandal ends her life out of fear her senility will derail his plans, cradling his daughter as she dies and insisting that she be given a funeral worthy of the gods.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Olympia quips about Kalibak's "daddy issues" after her father riles the brute about lacking Darkseid's favor.
* MercyKill: [[spoiler:Savage asks her to tell him about her favorite story and quickly kills her before she realizes what's happening.]] Cassandra quickly rationalizes it as this trope.
* NeckSnap: [[spoiler:Vandal ends his daughter's life by quickly snapping her neck to ensure that she dies with minimal pain or realisation of what's happening.]]
* ScatterbrainedSenior: She has grown senile from old age. She asks Cassandra three times if she's read the same story, notices the second attacking fleet but just stares calmly at the screen instead of immediately bringing it to Vandal's attention, and Vandal's dialogue implies that he's told her multiple times not to record his life story.
* SheKnowsTooMuch: [[spoiler: Part of the reason Savage kills Olympia is because her senility makes her a liability. She keeps recording his life story despite repeatedly being told not to, and his plans have yet to come to fruition.]]

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yji_mercygraves.png]]
%%[[caption-width-right:300:some caption text]]
!!!'''Species''': Cybernetically-enhanced human

Lex Luthor's assistant and bodyguard.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: Mercy isn't normally depicted as a cyborg with a laser arm cannon. She's also competent enough to fight Arsenal and give him some serious trouble.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: There's discussion as to just how much of her is human. She seems to be MadeOfIron, taking far more damage than the average human, she barely speaks and follows Lex blindly and with little to no emotion, and Lex's intense trust in her is a bit surprising. On the other hand, she does bleed, but only after being thrown into a car so hard the car is totaled.
* AnArmAndALeg: Gets her cybernetic right arm blown off courtesy of Arsenal.
* ArmCannon: Her right arm can turn into a [[EnergyWeapon laser cannon]].
* ArtificialLimbs: Her right arm.
* BattleButler: She's Lex's right hand woman and his bodyguard as need be.
* BodyguardBabes: To Luthor.
* CombatStilettos: Mind you, she didn't get dressed intended for combat, but she never wears anything other than high heels.
* {{Cyborg}}: [[WordOfGod Greg Weisman]] confirmed on [[LineToGod Ask Greg]] that Mercy is one and has at least one cybernetic limb.
* DarkActionGirl: She kicks some serious ass.
* DangerouslyShortSkirt: Her outfit shows a lot of leg.
* TheDragon: To Lex Luthor. As befitting the trope, she fights so he doesn't have to.
* EmotionlessGirl: Doesn't display any emotion over the course of the series.
* UndyingLoyalty: Mercy seems to be a very loyal, caring and protective bodyguard to Luthor. She performs multiple tasks that range from driving Luthor around to dressing him up and safeguarding his life.
* TheVoiceless: This is the only incarnation of Mercy Graves who never says a single word. Most likely, the number of times she has been given cybernetic updates by Luthor has reduced her state to the point where she can't even speak.

Monsieur Mallah is an intellectually enhanced gorilla who works under the Brain.

* TheDragon: To the Brain.
* GatlingGood: Uses a minigun in battle.
* GeniusBruiser: Doesn't say much, but he was prepped to assist in brain surgery.
* KillerGorilla: A given, as he's the Brain's bodyguard and enforcer.
* MightyGlacier: Big and strong, but rather slow physically, as would be expected for a gorilla.
* NiceHat: Likes to wear a red beret.
* TheQuisling: He betrayed his fellow gorillas to work for their captor, the Brain.

!!!'''Species:''' Metahuman

'''Blockbuster voiced by:''' Creator/DeeBradleyBaker (Series), Creator/GregWeisman (''Legacy'')

The former head of Washington's Cadmus Labs before becoming Blockbuster.
----
* BloodKnight: Joins Kylstar and other bruisers to re-take his home planet to get "glorious battle".
* BodyHorror: His transformation involves his ''skin ripping off''.
* MadScientist: An evil geneticist who specialises in cloning.
* {{Metamorphosis}}: It appears his transformation is permanent.
* MindControl: Uses the G-Gnomes to suppress the wills of his co-workers and their subjects.
* OneWingedAngel: After he drinks the [[PsychoSerum blockbuster formula]], he transforms from a middle-aged scientist to a large, grotesque monster.
* PainfulTransformation: His transformation into Blockbuster looked very painful.
* PutOnABus: In season two. Explained in the comic tie-in as having joined Kylstar's posse to liberate his home planet.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: In his Blockbuster form.
* SmugSnake: Very confident in his control over Superboy and the power of Project Blockbuster. Neither work out well for Desmond.
* TheSpeechless: After his transformation, he appears to be incapable of human speech.
* StarterVillain: The first villain the Team faces.
* SuperStrength: Strong enough to give Superboy a pounding.
* SuperToughness: He's so tough, that he had to have a building fall on him just to knock him out.

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yj_guardian.png]]
%%[[caption-width-right:300:some caption text]]
!!!'''Species:''' Human clone
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/CrispinFreeman

Jim Harper is a Cadmus clone, formerly active as the head of security at Cadmus's Washington, D.C. facility as Guardian.
----
* AntiVillain: He's not a bad guy at all and just happens to work for the villains, and he barely even knows it.
* BadassNormal: Guardian is proficient in hand-to-hand combat, besting Aqualad in it.
* BigLittleBrother: Jim is one of the two clones (the other being Red Arrow) of the original Roy Harper. Between the three, Jim is technically the youngest and looks much older.
* {{Brainwashed}}: At the hands of the G-Gnomes, as well as his Cadmus programming.
* CloningBlues: Revealed to be a clone after the TimeSkip in the second season. He's taken it a lot better than Roy, accepting that the KillAndReplace policy of Cadmus means the original Roy Harper is dead. [[note]]As it so happens, he's wrong.[[/note]]
* CoolHelmet: During his time as Guardian, he wore a golden helmet.
* HeelFaceTurn: The last we see of him in season 1, he's under the control of the Light (and in a way, always was). By season 2, five years later, he has since broken away from the Light and from Cadmus.
* HeroicBuild: {{Zigzagged|Trope}}. He thinks he's part of the good guys, but he has been brainwashed by the Light to do none too heroic things.
* LegacyCharacter: Succeeds Roy Harper's great-grandfather, whose name was Jim Harper and was the original Guardian.
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: He carries a golden heater shield on his wrist.
* RealMenWearPink: If a remark from Roy in "Private Security" is anything to go by, Jim apparently enjoys gardening. [[spoiler:Revealed in the season 3 finale to be a play on words as he lives in Geranium City. Which just so happens to be the new location of the Cadmus Genomorphs after they relocated to be free of Cadmus and Luthor, resolving a lingering plot thread from season 1 in the process.]]
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Guardian is a calm level headed figure of authority. Unlike his employer, Dr. Desmond, he tends to be a bit more open minded on certain issues and will seek a peaceful resolution if possible.
* RetiredBadass: He retired as Guardian between seasons, working as a security guard alongside the original and Clone!Roy aka Will.
* ShieldBash: Uses his small shields for combat.
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: After being quite serious and business-minded during the first two seasons, in ''Outsiders'', Jim is much more cheerful, chuckling at Will's jokes and smiling while fighting Brick's thugs.
* UncannyFamilyResemblance: As noted by Superboy, he looks a lot like his nephew, Roy Harper. Turns out they're both clones of the same person.

[[folder:Dubbilex]]
!!''Dubbilex''
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yj_dubbilex.png]]
%%[[caption-width-right:300:some caption text]]
!!!'''Species:''' Genomorph
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/PhilLaMarr

Dubbilex is a genomorph, a G-Goblin created by Project Cadmus.
----
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: He was more bumbling and out of his element than sneaky in the original comics and not nearly so enigmatic, though he did have his moments.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In the comics he was very much a father/responsible older brother figure to Kon-El, one of Kon's most trusted friends and the one who stayed with him the longest out of all of Kon's supporting cast in ''ComicBook/{{Superboy|1994}}''. Here they interact briefly and Conner is suspicious of Dubbilex's behavior.
%%* CloningBlues
* CompositeCharacter: [[spoiler:"Dabney Donovan" is an alias used by Dubbilex while disguising himself from humans as opposed to a separate person who was a MadScienist.]]
* CreepyMonotone: Though he turns out to be not such a bad guy at all.
* EnigmaticMinion: To Cadmus, though he turns out to be secretly working against them.
* LaResistance: Believes in acquiring freedom for all genomorphs, even subtly aiding Superboy's escape to help his own cause.
* MindOverMatter: He has telekinesis.
* PowerGlows: His horns glow red when he's using his powers.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: A subversion since even though he has red eyes, he really isn't one of the bad guys.
* {{Telepathy}}: He's a telepath.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Doesn't appear after Season 1, so it's unknown whether he led his fellow Genomorphs to freedom. But presumably Cadmus isn't affiliated with the Light anymore, if it exists at all, since the Light is relying other Evil Science facilities in later seasons. He finally shows up again in season 3, as mayor of a town he and his fellow Genomorphs founded with the League's help so aliens would have somewhere they could stay on Earth without fear of persecution.

[[folder:Match]]
!!''Match''
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yj_match.png]]
%%[[caption-width-right:300:some caption text]]
!!!'''Species:''' Kryptonian clone
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NolanNorth

Match (also known as Project Match) is a genomorph, and the first attempt at cloning Superman.
----
* BerserkButton: Anyone else wearing an "S" on their chest.
* TheBerserker: Match is too feral and insane to even speak, let alone use any kind of strategy in battle.
* BlackEyesOfCrazy: Looks exactly like Superboy, except his eyes have black sclera.
* BodyHorror: Thanks to CloneDegeneration, Match is left as a deformed monstrosity.
* CloneDegeneration: During the five-year skip. His right arm, left leg, and head become disfigured and deformed, and his skin is now pale.
* CloningBlues: The cloning process left his DNA unstable, rendering him insane. Later decays physically as well.
* CompositeCharacter: Comics Match mixed with S-01, as well as a little Superboy-Prime and certain incarnations of Bizarro.
** More powerful clone of Superboy -- Match.
** Cadmus's first attempt to clone Superman which failed due to his instability -- S-01 or "Bizarre-O".
** Flawed Kryptonian clone, mirror-image S -- Bizarro. In the tie-in comic, he also becomes more deformed and gains the pale skin.
** "Original" Superboy, Black sclera, burning the S onto his chest with heat vision -- Superboy-Prime.
* EvilCounterpart:
** To Superboy -- Both are clones of Superman and were created by Cadmus (by the Light's order) to ensure a replacement for the Man of Steel. They even are given the same character introduction -- being released by a member(s) of the Team and then beating them up as a result. However, Superboy only has a few of Superman's powers and learns how to control his anger; Match has ''all'' of Superman's powers, but is feral and lacks control.
** To Superman -- Both have the same powers but while Superman is a controlled AllLovingHero, Match is an insane [[TheBerserker Berserker]].
* FlawedPrototype: To Superboy. While Match has all of Superman's powers, he is also uncontrollably insane.
* MeaningfulName: The point of the cloning project was, in Luthor's words, for Superman to "meet his match".
* PsychoPrototype: Cloning Kryptonian DNA makes it unstable; which is why Match is so feral. The problem was corrected in Superboy's case by filling in the missing sequences with human DNA, specifically Lex's.
* ScreamingWarrior: His dialogue is nothing but shouts and grunts.
* TheSpeechless: He seems unable to form words.

Kobra is a supervillain who considers himself to be a living god, the Lord Naga-Naga. He is the leader of the pseudo-religious criminal organization, the Cult of the Kobra.
----
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Kobra comes off as haughty, confident and very prideful.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Proves to be ''very much'' superior to Robin in combat. He basically just ''stands still'' whilst blocking all of his attacks.
* BaldOfEvil: No hair, and a criminal cult leader and agent of the Light.
* AGodAmI: He considers himself a living god and makes every attempt to act like one.
* InTheHood: Wears a hooded cape that resembles a king cobra's hood.
* OneWingedAngel: In the comic tie-in, he orchestrates a human sacrifice on his twin brother to become a [[ScaledUp giant snake-man.]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning: He has red eyes, seemingly the result of albinism, and is an evil cult leader.
* TheStoic: The most emotion he shows is mild annoyance at the Team's interference.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Kobra never wears a shirt.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Despite being set up as one of the main minions of the Light alongside Sportsmaster early on, he only appears in one episode and one comic, and then never appears or is mentioned again, and after the timeskip his minions are working for Queen Bee without explaination.

!!!'''Species:''' Metahuman
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AlanTudyk (Series), Creator/JeffBennett (''Legacy'')

Psimon is an agent of Queen Bee.
----
* ArchEnemy: To Miss Martian.
* BaldOfEvil: He has no hair, revealing his transparent skull.
* ButtMonkey: Things tend to go wrong for him whenever he appears.
* CatchPhrase: "[[JustForPun Psimon says.]]"
* CombatPragmatist: When he faces M'gann again after the timeskip, he immediately takes her on despite his previous loss. When called on this by Icicle Jr., he points out that he can keep her occupied long enough for his cronies to dispatch her now-defenseless body. Doesn't work out, of course, but the strategy was sound.
* TheDragon: To Queen Bee.
* EvilCounterpart: To M'gann. He's got all the same PsychicPowers but none of the ethical restraints she possesses.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: When he gets dangerously close to discovering her and Aqualad's treachery, Tigress puts him in a coma.
* InTheHood: He wears a hoodie and occasionally uses the hood to hide his [[MyBrainisBig big brain]].
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: If he gets into your mind, he can do this to you!
* LetsGetDangerous: He's cheerful and relaxed in "Bereft"; though dangerous nonetheless, he doesn't think of the team as a threat. It's the same in "Image", except in this instance he's using Miss Martian's fears against her, which backfires horribly. In "Beneath", he's no-nonsense and brutal.
* MindOverMatter: Can also do this, but doesn't very often.
* MindRape: He and Miss Martian take turns doing this to each other. The first time he does it he manages to get the whole Team in one go.
* MyBrainIsBig: His swelled, telepathic brain is visible under his transparent scalp.
* PetTheDog: As a favor to Manta, he is called in to fix Kaldur after his MindRape. Though it is spoiled by Tigress putting him into a coma when he finds out her and Aqualad's true allegiance.
* RelationshipUpgrade: Seems to be the case in season 3 as he calls Devastation "My love" while expressing concern about her while she is fighting.
* SurroundedByIdiots: He had a solid plan and good improvisation in "Beneath", unfortunately "Stab Miss Martian while I keep her occupied" was too complicated for Icicle Jr. to handle.
* {{Telepathy}}: He's a telepath, more skilled but not as strong as Miss Martian.
* ThirdPersonPerson:

%%[[caption-width-right:300:some caption text]]
!!!'''Species:''' Demigoddess
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Diane Delano

Devastation is a supervillain, and a known associate of Queen Bee.
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: Would appear to be Psimon's. At the very least, his reaction to her advances is that of unease.
%%* AdaptationalUgliness
* BrawnHilda: She's large, domineering, aggressive, and intimidating, not to mention that Psimon doesn't exactly look like he enjoys the fact that she has the hots for him.
* TheBrute: But ''[[SmarterThanYouLook not]]'' [[DumbMuscle stupid]] (or at least not overtly so). In fact, upon discovering Wonder Girl in "Beneath", she's the first to catch on to the presence of the other members of the Team.
* InASingleBound: She can jump really high. Useful for catching stray Wonder Girls.
* MinionShipping: While one-sided, her lines and [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace behavior]] towards Psimon in "Beneath" indicate some sort of attraction on her part. [[MayDecemberRomance Doesn't even seem to mind that Psimon's got a good twenty years on her.]] See also: BrainsAndBrawn, TinyGuyHugeGirl.
-->[[NerdsAreSexy "Psimon! I like the way that pretty brain of yours thinks."]]
* NoSell: Subverted. Initially able to completely shrug off a stream of electricity from Black Lightning, which had just KO'ed the Terror Twins mere moments ago. ("Ha! Tickles.") At least until Black Lightning turned up the juice enough to make her pass out.
* RelationshipUpgrade: Looks like Psimon finally gave her a chance in season 3, with him referring to her as his love and her being even more affectionate with him (when he's knocked out) to the point of planting kisses on him.
* SmugSnake: Very confident, but ultimately fails to back up her boasts and loses to Wonder Girl.
* SmugSuper: [[BadassBoast "Do you really think you stand a chance, Blondie? I've gone toe-to-toe with the actual Wonder Woman!"]]
* SuperStrength: She's as strong as Wonder Woman and Superman.
* SuperToughness: And as tough.
* TattooedCrook: Sports thorn tattoos across the left side of her face, as well as her left arm.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: ''Much'' younger. [[http://www.s8.org/gargoyles/askgreg/search.php?qid=15578 According to]] WordOfGod, she's only '''1''' by the end of Season 1. [[note]]Going by her backstory in the comics, Devastation is, in most aspects, [[EvilCounterpart the "anti-Wonder Woman"]]; she was a clay figure breathed to life by Cronus to serve as his champion with the hopes of besting Olympus's own champion, Wondy herself.[[/note]]

!!!'''Species:''' Metahuman

A member of the Cult of Kobra and Shimmer's twin brother.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. In the comics, he was pretty strong and formidable, but in the series, he's the juggernaut. Case and point: he fought Bane in the comics and lost, here it was a CurbStompBattle in his favor.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Not very happy when his sister was MuggedForDisguise.
* BodyHorror: He makes Bane's transformation look like a minor adjustment. Some parts of his skin rip to expose his muscle tendons!
* TheBrute: Consistently acts as unspeaking muscle to more intelligent villains.
* CurbStompBattle: Delivers a pretty vicious one to Bane.
* HalfIdenticalTwins: He and his sister, Shimmer, before he took the formula.
* LightningBruiser: Rapidly and brutally beats the living daylights out of Bane.
* {{Metamorphosis}}: His transformation is permanent.
* MookCarryover: Once a part of Kobra, now part of Onslaught.
* PainfulTransformation: His transformation looked quite agonising.
* SuperSerum: His transformation was caused by kobra-venom, a mixture of the blockbuster formula and the venom formula. It permanently increases strength three times stronger than regular venom.
* SuperStrength: Stronger than Bane.
* WeightTaller: Kobra-Venom transforms Mammoth from a scrawny beanpole into a massive, misshapen hulk: far taller, heavier and more muscular than he had been before.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Before his transformation, Mammoth looked about 18 or 19 but after it he looks considerably older.

%%* CleavageWindow: In season two.
%%* TheDragon: To Lord Kobra.
* FauxActionGirl: Big time. She's played up as TheDragon to Lord Kobra and seems to be his most trusted underling, but tends to get her ass kicked every single time she gets into a fight. Even after her metagene is activated in Season 2, she's no more of a threat.
* HalfIdenticalTwins: To her brother, Mammoth, before his big change.
* HowDoIShotWeb: Her Reach-induced powers manifest for the first time during a battle, melting a hole in the ship's hull that allows the Team to escape.
* MookCarryover: Once a part of Kobra, now part of Onslaught.
* RealityWarper: Basically her powers when the Reach activate her metagene. She can turn any substance into any other, though seemingly only to break it down into particles.

Icicle Jr., also known simply as Icicle or Junior, is an enemy of Green Arrow and Speedy.
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer: For Tuppence Terror. His attempts at flirting creep her out (both the real Tuppence and Miss Martian posing as her).
* AdaptationalDumbass: While not a genius scientist like his father, Cam is clever enough in the comics, not the absolute dunce he is in the show.
* AdaptationalJerkass: While his comic counterpart was still a jerk, he also felt TrappedInVillainy due to his appearance and genuine camaraderie with his teammates, and even expressed a wish that he could be a hero. Here, while he definitely has standards, he's a lot less sympathetic. He seems to have mellowed out in Season 3, though, even sincerely congratulating Superboy on [[spoiler: his engagement]].
* AffablyEvil: His amiable interactions with Superboy are sincere.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: {{Justified|Trope}}. His skin is light blue (with or without activating his powers) because he was born with cyrokinetic powers.
* BeardOfEvil: He's grown a chinstrap between Seasons 2-3, though he seems to actually be somewhat less evil.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Artemis, as shown in the tie-in comics. He is unaware that she now works as a superhero.
* DumbMuscle: "Muscle" in this case referring to his powers (physically, Junior's pretty lean). Junior's powerful, but is a complete idiot, being played like a cheap fiddle by Superboy and managing to bungle a simple plan laid out by Psimon.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: From when Superboy and Miss Martian kissed while disguised as brother and sister, it becomes apparent that whatever sort of wrong he is, he draws the line at incest.
* FriendlyEnemy: When he and Superboy cross paths in Season 3, he recognizes Conner through his mask, and gives him sincere congratulations for his relationship [[spoiler:and recent engagement]] with M'gann; saying he thought they made a great couple, and that it gives him hope for himself, and Superboy in turn hopes he does find someone. [[CasualDangerDialogue While in the middle of fighting each other]].
* AnIcePerson: Icicle has the ability to create large ice crystals from his own body, and freeze the air around him to create various obstacles. He has demonstrated the ability to sling crystals great distances, which freeze whatever they strike on contact. He can also shoot light blue beams of ice.
* IcyBlueEyes: He has blue eyes, and while he be a comic relief, he's still a villain.
* {{Jerkass}}: He is very psychotic and cares very little about other people's well-being.
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He seems to have gotten nicer in Season 3.
* LegacyCharacter: With a name like "Junior", this is pretty much a given.
* MinionWithAnFInEvil: One explanation for his failure to kill M'gann and his generally benign personality in "Terrors".
* MythologyGag: The tie-in comic shows that he used to be friends with Artemis Crock. Their comics counterparts had an on-and-off relationship for years, and were married with a daughter before the 2011 reboot.
* ShipperOnDeck: Apparently he's one for M'gann and Superboy despite still being a bit bitter over them tricking him in season 1, he thought they would make a good couple and is happy for [[spoiler:their engagement.]]
* TookALevelInBadass: In "Darkest", he's not the wimpy big mouth he was in Season 1. Now, he has some muscle and is more of a threat.
* TookALevelInKindness: He's much less of a jerk in Season 3, and is genuinely happy when he learns that [[spoiler: Superboy is engaged.]]
* WellDoneSonGuy: His relationship with Icicle Sr. has Cameron doing whatever he can to make his father see him as useful.
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Was given a perfect opportunity to kill M'gann in Season 2, but had to take the time to gripe about her [[CallBack breaking his heart in Belle Reve]] first.
* WisdomFromTheGutter: Unknowingly offers some to Superboy about hooking up with Megan. When they meet again in Season 3, Conner actually thanks him for it.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: He has white hair and is a psycho.
* VillainousFriendship: Subverted with a disguised Superboy, due to the latter only pretending to be a villain. They do eventually develop a FriendlyEnemy relationship though.

* BrotherSisterTeam: The Terror Twins are always seen working together.

* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Tuppence was originally designed for the tie-in comic by artist Mike Norton, but Norton's Tuppence looked too much like Shimmer. She was redesigned to look like Gwen Stefani for the cartoon.

!!!'''Species:''' Human
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SteveBlum

Count Werner Vertigo is a supervillain and both a member and the field commander of the Injustice League. He is a member of the royal family of Vlatava.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: Goes from joke villain to leader of the Injustice League. His return in ''Outsiders'' also shows this, being a man who genuinely spells trouble and terror in others, while also being a calculating mastermind.
* AmbitionIsEvil: Count Vertigo's villainy is driven by his desire to become ''King'' Vertigo. He's prepared to murder his own niece or help Baron Bedlam take over Markovia in order to make that happen.
* AristocratsAreEvil: ''Count'' Vertigo is a murderous supervillain and would-be usurper to the royal throne of Vlatava, who dismisses commoners as being "peasants". And appropriately enough, in Season 3 he teams up with another evil nobleman, Baron Bedlam of Markovia, helping each other to seize power over their respective countries.
* BadBoss: As part of Bedlam, he constantly threatens his underlings with death when things go wrong.
* BoringButPractical: His only power is to disorient people, but it's more than effective against his opponents.
* TheBusCameBack: After being arrested in his second appearance, Count Vertigo returns in ''Outsiders'' as a recurring antagonist.
* CainAndAbel: He murdered his own brother, the Vlatavan king.
* CaneSword: Wields one, which, according to Perdita, is an heirloom of Vlatava's royal family.
* CatchPhrase: "''Count'' Vertigo to you, peasant!"
* TheChessmaster: "Coldhearted" shows him at his finest.
* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: His "vertigo" ability comes from a special piece of headgear.
* CombatPragmatist: He uses his powers to gain an upper hand in battle.
* DiplomaticImpunity: The reason why he isn't arrested with the rest of the Injustice League, as revealed in "Coldhearted". Unfortunately for him, he loses this as he is tricked by Kid Flash into revealing the truth.
* EngineeredPublicConfession: Tricked into one of these in "Coldhearted" after the queen presumably had died.
* TheEvilPrince: Or rather, an Evil ''Count''.
* EvilUncle: He tried to kill Perdita, his own niece and the queen of his country, in order to gain the throne for himself.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He acts the part of a cultured nobleman, but that falls apart when his plans start to fail.
* GracefulLoser: At least when the Injustice League is defeated, because he knew his diplomatic immunity would keep him out of prison. Not so much in "Coldhearted", where he tries to kill Perdita after having his title and immunity taken away from him.
* GutturalGrowler: Vertigo speaks in a deep, gravelly voice that emphasises the vicious personality that exists beneath his affected nobility.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: If he and the Light hadn't gone so ''far'' in attempting to kill his niece (including Vandal Savage distracting Kid Flash for 15 minutes), it would not have led to Wally discovering his involvement in the plot and - more importantly - successfully tricking him into confessing his high treason. This leads to Perdita revoking his diplomatic immunity and his being thrown into Belle Reve, which he'd originally avoided.
* InsistentTerminology: He's not trying to murder Perdita...
-->'''Count Vertigo''': It's called ''regicide''.
* KarmaHoudini: Thus far, Vertigo has evaded justice for his crimes and is still on the loose.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: In Season 3, he constantly [[BadBoss threatens to kill]] Dr. Ecks if he screws up. Considering that Dr. Ecks is a MadDoctor who is also complicit in forcibly transforming innocent kids into metahuman slaves, he doesn't warrant any sympathy.
* NonActionGuy: Downplayed by the fact that he isn't entirely helpless, but his only power is his ability to induce vertigo on others, which is admittedly strong as he can hold down heavy hitters with it. However, he's a physical normal and doesn't have much in direct combat skills, and relies mainly on leadership, planning, weapons, and others to carry out the heavy lifting. While he can ''hold'' people with his power, he's much less skilled at ''fighting'' others directly all by himself.
* SmugSnake: Smugly rubs his "victory" in Kid Flash's face, but quickly loses his composure when Perdita is revealed to be alive.
* TheSociopath: He had no qualms about trying to murder his own niece for the sake of power, all while pretending to be concerned over her health. He takes it a step further in ''Outsiders'', where Vertigo has dispensed with any pretensions of nobility, shamelessly participates in ([[SuperhumanTrafficking meta]]){{human traffick|ers}}ing of innocent children, and repeatedly threatens to kill his subordinates for any mistake, all so that he can ultimately get the throne he's always wanted.
* StevenUlyssesPerhero: His full name and title are Count Werner Vertigo.
* {{Touche}}: To both Wally and Perdita. "Well played, children, admittedly well played."
* TheyCallMeMrTibbs: "''Count'' Vertigo to you, peasant!" (Who let him keep his title, anyway?)
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: White-blond hair on a man willing to murder his own pre-teen niece to usurp his home country's throne.
* WouldHurtAChild: He plots to kill his own 10-year-old niece in "Coldhearted". Taken even further in ''Outsiders'', [[spoiler:when he is revealed to be one of the leaders of Project Bedlam, which is conducting dangerous lab experiments on metahuman children, which have a damn high fatality rate.]]

* {{Jerkass}}: "Ugly" Mannheim is impatient, aggressive and suspicious. He is also selfish and has no loyalty to his gang as he left Whisper A'Daire behind to be captured as he made his own escape.

Baron Frederick [=DeLamb=] a.k.a. Baron Bedlam is the brother of Ilona [=DeLamb=]-Markov as well as the brother-in-law of the king of Markovia. He is the commander of the security forces of Markovia and is also the head of Bedlam.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: His metahuman powers makes him tough enough to toe-to-toe with the likes of Geo-Force and Superboy, whereas his comics counterpart is strictly a normal.
* AdaptationalSpeciesChange: Became a metahuman instead of a BadassNormal like in the comics.
* ArcVillain: He's the main antagonist for the first three episodes of ''Outsiders''.
* AristocratsAreEvil: ''Baron'' Bedlam is a murderous supervillain who plans the assassinations of his own sister and brother-in-law, the Queen and King, with the ultimate goal of seizing control over Markovia. And appropriately enough, he even teams up with another evil nobleman, Count Vertigo of Vlatava, helping each other to seize power over their respective countries.
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: Given all the vile deeds he's done over the course of the third season, it's hard to feel sorry for him when Brion kills him. In fact, the heroes seemed more concerned about how Brion killed him rather than the fact that he died.]]
* CainAndAbel: He had both his [[SiblingMurder sister]] and brother-in-law assassinated as part of his own grab for power.
* CurbStompBattle: Dishes one out to Brion during their first fight....and is on the receiving end when Superboy knocks him on his ass in 5 moves (tellingly Bedlam runs for the door rather than face Superboy again.)
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:Brion drowns/burns him to death by shoving lava down his throat until it's coming out of his ears, nose, and eyes.]]
* DevilInPlainSight: Downplayed. While he doesn't do anything to encourage it himself, it's obvious that he had the most to gain from the King and Queen's deaths, and so most of the characters suspect him of foul play long before his true colors are revealed.
* DirtyCoward: He has no problem mocking Brion and calling him weak during their rematch yet immediately runs for the door when faced with the prospect of fighting Superboy (someone who has already kicked his ass once).
* EvilMakesYouUgly: As befitting for a [[BitchInSheepsClothing two-faced]] [[FauxAffablyEvil sociopath]] like himself, he is hiding his true appearance after his own secret metahuman transformation, which [[TakenForGranite turned his skin into stone]] (he wears a fake skin to cover his changed body). [[BeneathTheMask Underneath his charade]] of being a ReasonableAuthorityFigure, he is [[EvilMakesYouMonstrous both figuratively and literally a monster]].
* EvilUncle: [[RelatedInTheAdaptation In this universe]], Bedlam is the uncle of Gregor, Brion, and Tara Markov. He was willing to have [[SiblingMurder his own sister and brother-in-law murdered]] and kidnapped, experimented on, and sold his niece as a slave [[spoiler:to the League of Shadows]]. Then when his plans take an unpredictable turn, he tries to have his nephew framed for his crimes (see below).
* FrameUp: After learning that Brion was captured in the hospital and gained superpowers, he tries to cover his tracks by framing his own nephew for the metahuman trafficking conspiracy. It soon falls apart though when Bedlam reveals his own powers, which leads to Gregor correctly deducing that his uncle was responsible for all those crimes.
* HateSink: Stands out as one of the vilest and most repulsive villains in the series. Not only is he behind the metahuman trafficking of children, [[spoiler:he has his own sister and brother-in-law murdered, and their children turned into metahumans]].
* {{Hypocrite}}: HOO YEAH! He paints himself as a reasonable authority figure while orchestrating the not only the murders and/or kidnapping of his relatives but running a mass trafficking ring that kills enough children to warrant mass graves. He also makes bigoted comments against Quaraci while hiring one to kill his sister and brother in law and calls Brion weak while running from a stronger opponent.
* KickTheDog: Calls the Markovs "orphans" when HE was the one who orphaned them.
* KnightOfCerebus: While the series always had its fair share of dark moments in the first two seasons, [=DeLamb=]'s vile actions quickly establishes the DarkerAndEdgier tone of the third season.
* KnowWhenToFoldThem: The first thing he does when he sees Superboy (the guy who kicked his ass in single combat) with backup is run for the door. Given how badly Superboy kicked his ass the first time they fought it's a smart move on his part.
* OutOfFocus: Frederick is showcased as a major villain for Season 3, but gets shoved under the rug in-universe and out when [[spoiler:Granny Goodness suddenly enacts her plan mid-season and becomes a much more pressing threat. Any real focus on Frederick doesn't return until the season finale, [[BackForTheDead which is also when he dies]]]].
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Implied. He hired a Quraci assassin as a pretense to screen all Quraci refugees for the metagene, and empowered the military to use "[[DeadlyEuphemism extreme tactics]]" to ensure their cooperation. While it could just be a scheme to kidnap more metahumans, it comes off as being racist (especially given the rampant xenophobia against Quracis in Markovia).
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: The brother of the Queen of Markovia, and therefore the uncle of Gregor, Brion, and Tara Markov.
* SignificantAnagram: "Bedlam" is an anagram for his real surname, "[=DeLamb=]". Nightwing, who spent hours second-guessing the identity of the culprit, is practically kicking himself for not seeing it sooner.
* StrawHypocrite: The stuff he does behind closed doors is the opposite of what he pretends to stand for in public.
* StrongAndSkilled: In comparison to his nephew [[UnskilledButStrong Brion]], Bedlam is able to fight more effectively with his meta abilities. Unfortunately for him, this is what allowed his other other nephew to see through his lies.
* TheSociopath: He [[BitchInSheepsClothing pretends to be]] a ReasonableAuthorityFigure who's just trying to do what's best for his country's security and his family's safety; when he is really a power-hungry tyrant who kidnaps innocent children, and shows no real remorse over backstabbing his own family members in the worst ways possible. He is also a ConsummateLiar who tries to pin his horrible crimes on his innocent nephew, and almost got away with it until the heroes exposed him.
* TakenForGranite: Has undergone metahuman experiments on himself to gain a rocky stone-like body. He wears a false skin to hide his transformation.
* TheWorfEffect: While soundly able to defeat the recently triggered, Geo-Force, Bedlam gets easily defeated by the more experienced Superboy.
* WouldHurtAChild: Frederick [=DeLamb=] leads the child trafficking conspiracy in Markovia, and is implied -- and later confirmed -- to be responsible for his own niece's disappearance as part of that conspiracy.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness:
** He shoots the metahuman assassin he hired to kill his sister and brother-in-law in the back, after he had served his purpose.

* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: He's never referred to as "Doctor Double X", likely due his different power set that would've made it an ArtifactTitle, and the inherent ridiculousness of the name itself, along with the fact that there is already a character named Dubilex (pronounced Double-X) in the show.
* CompositeCharacter: Simon Ecks with his [[AdaptationalSuperpowerChange new power set]] while being an amoral scientist, brings to mind the ComicBook/{{Firestorm|DCComics}} villain Multiplex.

* AdaptationalBadass: In the comics, Jaculi was a JokeCharacter who couldn't catch a break even after his hilariously embarrassing death at the hands of Captain Boomerang. While he dies just as quickly in the show, [[SmallRoleBigImpact he does manage to accomplish quite a bit in his short time on-screen]].
* KnifeNut: He stabs the King and Queen to death with a blade, just after cutting his way through several of their bodyguards.
* MiddleEasternTerrorists: Invoked; he's a {{Qurac}}i assassin who killed the monarchs of Markovia. Bedlam, who was the real mastermind behind the assassinations, was really trying to secretly thwart the King's and Queen's efforts to combat his illegal human trafficking; and after the incident, Bedlam claims that he'll [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything monitor and profile all Quraci refugees in Markovia who might be metaumans]].
* ProfessionalKiller: He commits [[TheKingslayer regicide]] on orders from Bedlam.
* SmugSmiler: Cracks quite a few smug smirks as he slaughters the King and Queen and brutalises the royal guards.
* SuperSpeed: He has this power, allowing him to easily evade the royal palace guards. However, he wasn't quick enough to avoid getting shot by Bedlam.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: After Jaculi murders the King and Queen, Bedlam shoots him dead in order to ensure that [[HeKnowsTooMuch he won't end up revealing the truth about who really planned the assassinations]].

!!!'''Species:''' Metahuman

A 14-year-old Markovian girl with a terminal heart disease, who gets abducted in the Markovburg Children's Hospital. Her powers are forcefully activated, turning her into a monstrous lava creature.
----
* AntiVillain: She's not evil at all, just an innocent child who's being forced to fight for the bad guys against her will.
* AttackItsWeakPoint: Plasma's heart remains intact in her otherwise liquefied form. A shock from Black Lightning meant to incapacitate her proved fatal, as her heart was already weak before her transformation.
* BlobMonster: Resembling a being made of lava, tar, and blood.
* BodyHorror: Her human heart is visible, floating inside her translucent body with bubbles around.
* CompositeCharacter: Both Otto and Ana Von Furth are based on Plasmus, however their overall design and powers, and the fact that Ana was forced to fight alongside Parademons which are Apokoliptians, makes them a composite of Brimstone; an artificial being created by Darkseid with the same TouchOfDeath powers.
* SacrificialLamb: She is accidentally killed by Black Lightning, when he fires an electric bolt that overwhelmed her weak heart. Her death and the subsequent reveal that she was an innocent human kid [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone disturbs him deeply]].
* SlaveMooks: She was placed under MindControl and forced to fight for Darkseid.
* TouchOfDeath: She instantly incinerates an unfortunate Rannian soldier.
* TragicMonster: She's forced to become a guinea pig in a lab experiment, which turns her into an inhuman creature, and is then forced to fight against her will as part of Darkseid's army during an invasion of Rann.

%%[[caption-width-right:300:some caption text]]
!!!'''Species:''' Metahuman
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YuriLowenthal

The older brother of Ana Von Furth. After his younger sister's disappearance and death, he was also experimented on and forced to become another similar monster with the same powers.
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: Much like the show's Neutron or even his incarnation in the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' cartoon, this Plasmus isn't in control of himself, whereas his comic counterpart was murderous and even expressed jealousy at Chemo's powers in ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis''.
* AdaptationalNationality: In the comics Otto Von Furth was German, here he's a Markovian.
* AgeLift: Otto is a teenager like in the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' cartoon, but in the comics he was an adult.
* AntiVillain: Just like his little sister, he's an unlucky kid who was conscripted into serving as a disposable minion of the villains.
* AttackItsWeakPoint: Plasmus's human brain remains intact in his otherwise liquefied form. A farmer with a rifle easily kills him by shooting his brain.
* BlobMonster: Resembling a being made of lava, tar, and blood.
* BodyHorror: His brain is visible, floating inside his translucent body with bubbles around.
* CompositeCharacter: Both Otto and Ana Von Furth are based on Plasmus, however their overall design and powers, and the fact that Ana was forced to fight alongside Parademons which are Apokoliptians, makes them a composite of Brimstone; an artificial being created by Darkseid with the same TouchOfDeath powers.
* DeathByAdaptation: He dies in the third episode, while Plasmus in the comics has been a foe to the Teen Titans for many years.
* TheDogBitesBack: As soon as he's free from Bedlam's control, Plasmus attacks Dr. Ecks. Luckily for Ecks, it was just one of the not-so-good doctor's duplicates.
* HopeSpot: [[TheAtoner Black Lightning]] makes sure to non-lethally defeat Plasmus, by freeing him from Count Vertigo's mind control. Unfortunately, just when Otto helps the Outsiders finish their fight, he gets shot and killed by an armed farmer who mistook him for an evil monster, thus joining his sister in premature death.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: He goes on a short-lived one, after his mind-control chip was destroyed by Black Lightning.
* SlaveMooks: He was placed under MindControl and forced to fight for Count Vertigo.
* TouchOfDeath: Count Vertigo has stated that nothing can survive the touch of Plasmus (unless you're [[NighInvulnerable Kryptonian]] or a [[HealingFactor metahuman with healing abilities]]).
* TragicMonster: He took his sister to the hospital to have her heart condition treated, only for her to (apparently) die and then disappear. When he confronts the doctor responsible for it, he too is forced to share her fate of becoming an inhuman creature, and an expendable pawn for the bad guys.
* TransformationHorror: He became a hideous lava-like BlobMonster, with a visible brain floating inside.
* WasOnceAMan: He doesn't look human anymore after his metagene was activated.

Abra Kadabra is a faux magician.
----
* AdaptationalWimp: Perhaps due to being overshadowed by [[AdaptationalBadass Klarion]], he's substantially less of a threat than in the comics, where he's almost always the BigBad when he shows up.
* BeardOfEvil: Works for the Light and sports a goatee beard.
* CarpetOfVirility: He typically wears a poet shirt that exposes his hairy chest.
* DemotedToExtra: Things are [[ArchEnemy very, very]] [[ItsPersonal personal]] between him and Wally in the comics, but here he's treated as just another enemy.
* ElectricTorture: Seems to be a favorite of his.
* MagicFromTechnology: He's actually a guy from the future using really advanced technology and just pretending it's magic.

Amazo is an android built by Professor Ivo.
----
* AllYourPowersCombined: Thanks to his PowerCopying abilities.
* BlowYouAway: Copied from Red Tornado.
* CallingYourAttacks: He has to say the name of whatever Justice League member whose powers it has copied before it can use them. Given that Amazo is a robot, and that this was his first ever appearance within the continuity of the show, this is more understandable than most examples. Although this provides a clue to Amazo's weakness, and the team use that to defeat it.
* DiscardAndDraw: While this version of Amazo keeps the powers he copies, he thankfully can only use one ability set at at time. This is possibly justified as this is the first Amazo Ivo created.
* TheDragon: To Professor Ivo, for however long it lasted.
* ImplacableMan: He's really hard to stop, and he never slows down until he completes his objective.
* IntangibleMan: Copied from Martian Manhunter.

* CreepyMonotone: As is to be expected, Freeze speaks in a cold, steady voice, although he does shout a bit in his staged attack on Icicle Sr.
* EvilGenius: Of the ice villains. He had the foresight to remove his collar in Belle Reve and managed to retrace the steps of the one who reactivated them.
* AnIceGun: His trademark freeze gun. Unlike Captain Cold it actually does do ice.
* AnIceSuit: He can't survive in normal room temperatures. After Superboy shatters his helmet, Freeze is forced to encase himself in ice to survive.
* IcyBlueEyes: They fit with his ice theme.
* TheStarscream: Subverted. While in Belle Reve, Freeze tries to usurp Icicle Sr. It's just a ploy to escape however. Though, Icicle Jr. didn't know that.

* ActionDad: He was a renowned criminal and abusive father to his son.
%%* AdaptationalBadass
* BadassNormal: He's a big man and looks physically fit, but has no apparent special powers, yet he is not only imprisoned at a jail dedicated to housing "super criminals", but within Bell Reve, he is the widely-recognized "capo" among the supervillain prisoners.
* BeardOfEvil: He has a grey beard.
* CompositeCharacter: As the father figure Junior is trying to impress, he takes elements from his son's ParentalSubstitute The Wizard (Joar himself being long dead in the comics).
* GracefulLoser: In mid-September of 2010, Senior initiated a mass break out attempt with smuggled technology with the help of Captain Cold, Icicle Jr., Killer Frost, and Mister Freeze.

* BlowYouAway: He's a wind generating robot like Red Tornado.
* DeadpanSnarker: While in the Mister Twister suit, Stikk is definitely this; his powers give his ego a significant boost. Possibly the best InsultBackfire he's given was to Robin, after he states his [[EvenEvilHasStandards unnerved attitude at the Team's usage by the League]]:
-->'''Stikk (as Mister Twister)''': [[VillainHasAPoint Have you no adult supervision?]] I find your presence here quite...''disturbing''.\\
'''Robin''': [[SarcasmMode Well, we hate to see you disturbed]], so let's see if you're more [[BuffySpeak "turbed"]] [[TemptingFate once we kick your can!]]\\
''[Stikk proceeds to [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomp]] Superboy, Miss Martian, Aqualad, and Robin in quick succession]''\\
'''Stikk''': [[LiteralistSnarking Indeed. That was quite "turbing". Thank you.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: By his own admission, he's disturbed that this version of the Justice League would use their sidekicks as ChildSoldiers.
* EvilSoundsDeep: Mister Twister's processed voice is very deep, contrasting the medium range of Stikk's natural voice.
* TheManBehindTheCurtain: The real Stikk was nowhere near Happy Harbour while Mister Twister fought the Team.
* MetaMecha: It's a PoweredArmor, but for safety concerns the "human" pilot is an android himself.
* MistakenIdentity: In his initial appearance, Miss Martian can't read his mind, leading the team to mistake him for a disguised Red Tornado giving them a SecretTest.
* PoweredArmor: The Mister Twister suit, initially believed to be an android, is later revealed to be a suit worn by a robotic duplicate of Stikk. Morrow apparently convinced Stikk not to wear the suit himself, much to Stikk's relief after Miss Martian destroyed his double.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: The Twister armor wears one.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: The real Stikk ditches the base when Red Volcano goes rogue, the android is annoyed that his first real victim got away.
-->'''Red Volcano''': Where is Stikk?!
* ShockAndAwe: Unlike Red Tornado, Mister Twister has electrical powers as well as wind-generation.
* UndyingLoyalty: After the Red Volcano fiasco, Brom can be later seen at the aged Morrow's bedside.
* VillainHasAPoint: As he points out, the team is composed of children, hence the League are using their sidekicks as Child Soldiers.
* WhatTheHellHero: As noted in "Even Evil Has Standards" and "Villain Has a Point", he points out that the League is using their teen sidekicks as a black ops unit and is disturbed by it.

* MadScientist: Creates deadly robots for the purposes of fighting the Justice League.
* RobotMaster: He built Amazo, the [[FunWithAcronyms MONQIs]], and robot double of himself.

* DarkLordOnLifeSupport: This is the case for the real [[MadScientist T.O. Morrow]], who is extremely old and in a coma.
* EvilOldFolks: Morrow is 100 years old, and even though he can no longer act on his own, he continues his efforts against the heroes.
* ForScience: Morrow's primary motive in creating more powerful androids seems to be for the sake of advancing robotics technology.
* GracefulLoser: In "Welcome to Happy Harbor", he doesn't get angry over the destruction of Mister Twister, taking solace in the knowledge that his tracking program worked well enough to at least narrow down Red Tornado's location.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: No more "Pinocchios!". It MakesSenseInContext.
** All his Red androids [[GoneHorriblyRight went horribly right]]. The first three, designed to infiltrate the Justice Society of America, became genuine heroes and turned against him, and Red Volcano, meant to have no humanity, decided that Morrow was obsolete and turned against him.
* TheManBehindTheMan: Or the man behind the man behind the robot behind the robot. No, really.
** According to "Humanity", the T.O. Morrow we met onscreen is actually an android copy created by the original human T.O. Morrow. So, this T.O. Morrow is actually The robot behind the man behind the robot behind the robot. Could this get any more convoluted? Actually yes. If the original human T.O. Morrow is also involved in these plots, then that guy is The man behind the robot behind the man behind the robot behind the robot.
*** And then the last robot subverts all this and kills the robot before him, thinking he is the man, and hijacks the plan to KillAllHumans for himself. And the actual ManBehindTheMan is just a bedridden old pensioner who is in not fit state to mastermind anything.
* RobotMaster: He built the Red androids and a robot double of himself
* RoboticReveal: The T.O. Morrow we met onscreen is actually an android. The real and human T.O. Morrow appears in the end of "Humanity" as an old bedridden man.

* CoolShades: Triangular green glasses with a purple frame.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: The only criminal in Belle Reve who actually escaped.
* EvilCounterpart: In a way, he's one to Robin I/Nightwing. They're both clever planners, although while this isolates Riddler and makes him a minion, it's what makes Dick a leader. There's also the way they both play around with language, though Dick outgrows his backformations as he grows up, with a few catching on in his friend group as in-jokes, while The Riddler childishly keeps using riddles to annoy people.
