* Phase (Ayla Goodkind), a density-changer who can become {{intangible|Man}} or [[NighInvulnerable super-dense]]. [[ShelteredAristocrat Comes from a very rich family]], but unfortunately that family is the Whateley Universe version of Fred Phelps's clan, and reacted [[MadScientist very poorly]] to his mutation.

* Tennyo (Billie Wilson), flying blasting slicing [[HealingFactor regenerating]] Warper extraordinaire; [[{{Expy}} looks rather like]] Ryoko from ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'' (intentionally, as a result of how she gained her superpowers).

* Phase (Ayla Goodkind), a density-changer who can become {{intangible|Man}} or [[NighInvulnerable super-dense]]. [[ShelteredAristocrat Comes from a very rich family]], but unfortunately that family is the Whateley Universe version of Fred Phelps's clan, and reacted [[MadScientist very poorly]] to his mutation.

The new characters for the 2nd Gen stories include:
* Okami (Hikaru Myoujin) -- Member of a cadet branch of Japan's Imperial family who was trained from birth to serve as a Shinto priestess, only to find ''herself'' the object of worship when she becomes the [[PhysicalGod Paladin of Amaterasu]].
* Kenshin (Taka Ono) -- A young man who manifested the martial arts skills of a shonen fighting anime protagonist (and unfortunately the attitude to match) sent off to America after causing too much trouble at home.

* Eisenmadel (Erica von Abendritter) -- the unwilling product of NaziSuperScience who was imbued with powers in her grandparents' lifelong battle against Nazi deadenders seeking to establish a Fourth Reich.
* Lapin (Lucretia "Tia" del Bosque) -- The victim of a [[ForcedTransformation mutation ray]] that his MadScientist former girlfriend used on him in a fit of jealous rage, which gave her the Body Image Template of a well-known retired superheroine...which unfortunately included the appearance and proclivities of a Playboy bunny girl... ears, tail and all.

* Cerulea (Laura Samuels) -- Devisor and Gadgeteer, whose manifestation included bright blue skin and hair and broke up her parent's marriage.
* Calliope (Fiorella "Cally" Persico): A receptive and projective empath who projects by singing, giving her a limited subset of siren powers.
* Charger (Nicholas Brennan, Jr.) -- second-generation member of a genetically-engineered race, he is the oldest of the Horse Animen to be born that way, and the first to learn that their creator, Dr. DNA, had left an extra gift in their genome in the form of the Mutant Meta-Gene Complex.
* Dragonblade (A.J. Blackstone) -- Child of [[DatingCatwoman a superhero and a supervillainess]], AJ was already receiving magical training when his mutation kicked in.

* Lapin (Lucretia "Tia" del Bosque) -- The victim of a [[BalefulPolymorph mutation ray]] that his MadScientist former girlfriend used on him in a fit of jealous rage, which gave her the Body Image Template of a well-known retired superheroine...which unfortunately included the appearance and proclivities of a Playboy bunny girl... ears, tail and all.

Because of the [[DoorStopper sheer size of the series]] and every-growing LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters, most of the character descriptions have been moved to the (multiple) [[Characters/WhateleyUniverse character sheets]]. Only the initial main characters of the two periods are summarized here.

* Lancer (Hank Declan), a twist on the classic super-strong invulnerable FlyingBrick hero type, in that he actually uses a form of personal-ranged psychokinesis to enhance his physical abilities. MilitaryBrat. The only Team Kimba character that's gender bending the ''other'' way, and also was the only Team Kimba character without his own series of stories. Now, he has Phoenix Spiritus as a writer.

People in their early teens are manifesting mutant powers. They are widely hated and feared, but there is a place that will take them in, shelter them, and teach them how to control their powers: [[SuperheroSchool Whateley Academy]] in [[LovecraftCountry Dunwich, New Hampshire]]. Whateley is fairly large (nearly 600 middle school through high school students in six grades); has support from superheroes, supervillains, and super-neutrals (so it is not being constantly attacked); does ''not'' have a high school aged superhero team flying around and fighting crime despite what Team Kimba seems to think; and puts heroes and villains together in everyday situations (just like a real high school). It also hosts demons, magical creatures, monsters, demigods, gods, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and]] [[ImpossiblyTackyClothes Jericho]].

[[http://whateleyacademy.net/index.php/stories Here is a link]] to the stories. Until February 2012, when Diane took over updating the main site, the authors made their new stories available at the Authors Corner section of the [[http://whateleyacademy.net/index.php/forum/index forums]]. The front page also contains links to the forums and a fan-maintained Wiki. Be forewarned: the Whateley Universe now encompasses something like 14 Canon authors, 21 fanfic authors also hosted on the site, and something close to 150 novels, novelettes, and short stories (NOT counting all the fanfic). It is also somewhat [[NotSafeForWork NSFW]], with rather frank discussions of sexuality in several of the stories.

The [[http://whateleyacademy.net Whateley Universe]] is a CapePunk / TeenDrama SharedUniverse WebSerialNovel series, in a SuperheroSchool scenario with elements of the Franchise/CthulhuMythos comprising the main MythArc. It was inspired by an ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'' fanfic written by one of Whateley's many authors, and retains many similarities to the Franchise/MarvelUniverse, but a reasonably well-developed universe was created before the first stories were released.

* Eisenmadel (Erica von Abendritter) -- the Jewish product of NaziSuperScience who was imbued with powers in her grandparents' lifelong battle against Nazi deadenders seeking to establish a Fourth Reich.

Whateley Universe is not a pastiche or a direct parody, although it is often written in a tongue in cheek manner, putting superhero themes on common things. For example, Whateley Academy has the high school cliques any normal high school would have, the elitist Alphas, the Fashion Police, and the grungy losers (the Rat Patrol). However, they also have [[Characters/WhateleyUniverseSchoolClubsAndCliques other cliques]] that only a SuperheroSchool would have, such as the Masterminds[[note]]and their '[[NominalHero heroic]]' rivals, the Intelligence Cadet Corps[[/note]], the Ninjas, the Robo-Jox[[note]]{{Gadgeteer Genius}}es and {{Mad Scientist}}s who build PoweredArmor and/or robots[[/note]], the Grunts[[note]]JROTC for aspiring {{Super Soldier}}s[[/note]], the Bad Seeds[[note]]the children of known supervillains, who are often targeted by others who think it is InTheBlood[[/note]], and of course, the [[TheCape Cape Squad]] (the 'Future Superheroes of America', who are very enthusiastic about being future superheroes). Ironically, school administration is quite insistent that Whateley is ''not'' a SuperheroSchool, though they don't deny being an AcademyOfAdventure.

* Fey (Nikki Reilly), [[OurElvesAreBetter elven]] Wizard of unusual power, possessed by an ancient elvish queen. Due to her {{Glamour}}, she [[LoveIsInTheAir subconsciously makes people attracted to her]] whether she wants it or not.

In one of many twists, between a sixth to a third of the students have a subconscious image of the form that their body ought to take, known as their Body Image Template (BIT). Mutants with a BIT generally gain either a physical or mental package of powers, frequently both. The physical package includes both beauty and brawn, the mental package includes major intelligence boosts as well as memory, etc. A BIT may change ''any'' aspect of a person's body, including their sex. In some cases the transformation may turn them into inhuman ''whatevers'' [[BlessedWithSuck right out of a horror movie]].
