| 3 | The Legion of Doom wants quite simply the destruction of the Justice League. They also team up to pull off schemes together. It is not uncommon for Flash to respond to a bank robbery expecting to deal with Captain Cold, only to also have to tangle with Grodd and Riddler as well. |

| 5 | They were founded in 2010. Just months after the Justice League was reorganized under ARGUS and the UN. Someone's laundering their loot, arranged the construction of their secret base, and providing them with "stolen" [=LuthorCorp=] tech. |

| 10 | * ThirteenIsUnlucky: They have 13 members, and they're among the most dangerous villains the Justice League has faced. |
| 11 | * CompositeCharacter: They take elements and members from their various incarnations in the DCAU, Super-Friends, Young Justice and Injustice 2. |
| 12 | * EqualOpportunityEvil: They are a very varied bunch; there's an immortal caveman, an Artificial intelligence who's a collector, an intelligent gorilla, a clone, an alien, a genius savant, a pirate and a sorceress among their ranks. |
| 13 | * TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: Certain original members of the team like Giganta, Solomon Grundy, & Lex Luthor are omitted here. Giganta was replaced with Circe since she received an AdaptationalHeroism as part of the Young Justice/The Team, Grundy was replaced with Black Adam to give the Marvel family an enemy on the team, and Vandal Savage is a stand in for Luthor as Vandal is a member of the Light in Earth-27 and Lex's morality is questionable and he doesn't overtly operate with known criminals. |
| 14 | * TheTeamNormal: The Riddler, Scarecrow and Toyman are the only members without super powers. |
| 15 | * TwoGirlsToATeam: Cheetah and Circe are currently the only females. |

| 20 | [[folder:Vandal Savage (Vandar Adg II)]] |
| 21 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vandal_savage_earth_27.jpg]] |
| 22 | |
| 23 | A Cro-Magnon caveman named Vandar Adg got exposed by meteor that turned him immortal and change his name as Vandal Savage, the immortal tyrant, has been witness to humanity's growth from the dawn of civilization, and his desire to control mankind has led him into conflict with many heroes of the Universe. |
| 24 | ---- |
| 25 | * AboveGoodAndEvil: Often claims to be this. Sometimes he even believes it, and behaves accordingly. |
| 26 | * AbusiveParents: Towards his daughter Scandal Savage. |
| 27 | * ArchEnemy: He has some serious history with Hawkman and Hawkgirl. |
| 28 | * AristocratsAreEvil: His character design is clearly meant to evoke this, as whenever he's not the Badass in a Nice Suit he's wearing some stylish-yet-menacing outfit meant to evoke this. |
| 29 | * AxCrazy: But he's cultured and intelligent enough that it's not obvious on the surface. |
| 30 | * BadassLongcoat: He's capable of being stylish if he's in the mood. |
| 31 | * BeardOfBarbarism / BeardOfEvil: Has his iconic beard and is very much evil. |
| 32 | * BerserkButton: Do ''not'' call Savage a caveman, at least not if you don't want to be beaten around like a red-headed stepchild. |
| 33 | * BreakThemByTalking: He's able to influence people just by words alone. |
| 34 | * TheChessmaster: While the Light as a whole fits this description, Savage stands out; by his own admission, some of his plans have been ''millenia'' in the making. |
| 35 | * CompositeCharacter: His backstory is from the comics and has the appearance from the ''Series/{{Arrowverse}}''. |
| 36 | * CrazyPrepared: As only the oldest immortal on Earth can be. He has plans within plans within plans and probably more resources available to him than any other villain around. It's not often emphasized, but he probably would make Bruce Wayne and Lex Luthor look like paupers in a raw by-the-numbers comparison. |
| 37 | * DaddysLittleVillain: He wants his daughter Scandal to be this, but she's not about to comply. |
| 38 | * DecompositeCharacter: One of his many aliases in the comics was Grigori Rasputin, who in Earth-27 is a separate character associated with the devil Azazel. |
| 39 | * DeadpanSnarker: And very gifted at it, too. |
| 40 | * DiabolicalMastermind: One of the very first in DC Comics and still to this day one of the best and most iconic, even if he tends to get second billing to the likes of Lex Luthor or even Ra's Al-Ghul. He came up with the idea for The Light, and is often seen planning with other members or setting their plans in motion. |
| 41 | * EvilGenius: A downplayed example compared to the likes of Lex Luthor, but the meteor Vandar Adg was exposed to heightened his intelligence, and... well, let's just say that anyone could be an Evil Genius given fifty thousand years of time to learn and grow. |
| 42 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: Once upon a time, Vandal Savage was Vandar Adg, who in turn was just one of many Cro-Magnon cavemen trying to survive. |
| 43 | * HealingFactor: A side-effect of his powers. As a result of the meteor radiation that made him immortal, Savage's injuries heal amazingly quickly. |
| 44 | * IHaveManyNames: Vandal has many alias of his own as Blackbeard, Curtis Knox, Jack the Ripper and Francisco Pizarro. |
| 45 | * ImmortalityImmorality: At 50,000 years old, Vandal Savage is one of the oldest beings on Earth and is responsible for an astonishing range of sins, even personally inventing more than a few. |
| 46 | * JokerImmunity: As if being immortal wasn't bad enough... |
| 47 | * MadScientist: He's dabbled in cloning and has created an addictive super-speed-granting drug, for starters. |
| 48 | * ManipulativeBastard: A mixture of TheCharmer and TheSpock subtypes. He puts his well-honed charisma to work when manipulating potential allies, while with enemies he just tends to go full Batman on them. |
| 49 | * NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Well, with a name like '''Vandal Savage''', what else would you expect? |
| 50 | * PsychoKnifeNut: He's fond of bladed weapons. In fact, he's said to have terrorized London as Jack the Ripper. |
| 51 | * ScarsAreForever: The one scar that never healed is the one he got before becoming immortal. |
| 52 | * SocialDarwinist: Several times. |
| 53 | * TheSociopath: Being as old as he is, Savage places very little value on human life and lives primarily for any cause or deed that can stimulate him. |
| 54 | * VillainWithGoodPublicity: He'll play this card if it will suit his purposes; in such a case, only superheroes and the reading/viewing audience are completely aware of what sort of individual he actually is. |

| 57 | [[folder:Brainiac (Vril-Dox)]] |
| 58 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/brainiac_earth_27.jpg]] |
| 59 | |
| 60 | A kryptonian super-computer turned techno-organic being with a twelfth-level intellect and hyper-advanced technology, he travels the galaxy seeking civilizations to shrink and abduct, which he then adds to his collection of captured worlds. He has been responsible for the extinction of countless cultures and the deaths of untold billions. |
| 61 | ---- |
| 62 | * AIIsACrapshoot: Brainiac knew Krypton was going to explode back when he was just a supercomputer, but chose not to support Jor-El's findings; Brainiac knew fully well that the revelation would only cause panic and might interfere with Brainiac's own escape plan, and since he represents the sum total of all of the planet's knowledge, he believed that it was the only thing worth saving anyway. |
| 63 | * BaldOfEvil: None of his android bodies have hair and he kills entire planets after accumulating all of their knowledge. |
| 64 | * BarrierWarrior: Brainiac always uses his DeflectorShields to maximum effect. |
| 65 | * TheChessmaster: Always. Brainiac plans well in advance, and is an expert at manipulating others into playing the roles he wants them to do. |
| 66 | * TheCollector: As always, Brainiac seeks knowledge by collecting the major cities of inhabited planets, then destroying the planet itself. |
| 67 | * CombatTentacles / ShockAndAwe: He could extend mechanical tendrils from their bodies capable of restraining Superman, and channel electricity through them to wound him. |
| 68 | * CompositeCharacter: While he begins as a Kryptonian super-computer like in ''Superman: The Animated Series'', after going rogue he makes himself a body using Coluan technology, effectively becoming a cyborg like in the comics and other incarnations. While his identity as Milton Fine as a covert alias during his time at S.T.A.R. Labs is from ''Smallville''. |
| 69 | * ControlFreak: His FatalFlaw. Brainiac doesn't like any situation where he's not in control, often flipping out when things don't go his way. As Superman occasionally points out, this is basically his biggest weakness. Due to his absolute need to be in control of everything, Brainiac pretty much always works alone (and his rare team-ups are guaranteed to end in backstabbing), with his only consistent 'allies' being either his machines or people under mind control. |
| 70 | * TheDreaded: To Kara Zor-El/Supergirl I/Power Girl, who was on Krypton when Brainiac attacked and stole Kandor. The rest of the Kandorians are terrified of him as well, and General Zod views his failure to defeat the alien as his worst ever loss. The whole universe sees Brainiac as this due to him destroying thousands of planets and killing trillions of people, but even among other Galactic Conqueror types Brainiac stands out. |
| 71 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: Brainiac can't understand what Superman sees in Earth, as its scientific and technological advances are nothing compared to Krypton's. He never considers less quantifiable qualities, like love or family. |
| 72 | * EvilGenius: Well, duh. Brainiac describes himself as a "twelfth-level intellect". |
| 73 | * FaceShip: Usually Brainiac's ship looks right like his skull. |
| 74 | * GeniusBruiser: Even in his true form, he's roughly the equal of Superman and backs it up with far superior intelligence. When he possessed Doomsday, this became literally true as he was a genius in the hulking form of one of the physically strongest beings in the universe. |
| 75 | * InsufferableGenius: For a computer system, he's got an huge ego. |
| 76 | * LackOfEmpathy: More like lack of any general emotion, making him all the more creepier. |
| 77 | * {{Lust}}: For knowledge. Brainiac wants to control all the information in the universe, and is prepared to slaughter billions to keep that information secret. |
| 78 | * PlanetLooters: His main gig is bottling up cities and shrinking them. His reasons have varied and normally, the planets he loots aren't so lucky. |
| 79 | * TheResenter: Due to damage to his processors affecting his coding during his first Invasion on Earth, Brainiac develops the capacity to finally understand the concept of 'hate', choosing Superman as its target. Brainiac thus becomes fixated on not only killing Superman, but completely ruining Superman's life, determined to only release Superman from the burden of life when Superman begs for death. |
| 80 | * {{Sadist}}: While largely emotionless, Brainiac does occasionally let it slip that he enjoys causing others pain, being especially prone to a PsychoticSmirk while abducting planets. |
| 81 | * SecondaryColorNemesis: ''Is'' green, and wears purple. |
| 82 | * SoreLoser: Brainiac would sooner blow up the planet than admit defeat. |
| 83 | * SuperIntelligence: One of his few consistent powers, whether he's a machine, an alien, or something else completely. A "12th level intellect", Brainiac may well be the most intelligent being in the DC Universe. He's certainly capable of storing and processing trillions of minds worth of information in his data banks and Coluan brain. |
| 84 | * SuperiorSpecies: Sees Coluans as superior to all other beings, and himself as superior to his fellow Coluans. |
| 85 | * {{Technopath}}: One of his few consistent powers. Brainiac can inhabit and control most forms of technology, enabling him to assemble new bodies for himself with ease, and allowing him to arm himself more and more effectively. It also makes using any sort of technology against him an iffy proposition at best. |
| 86 | * YouMonster: Has been on the receiving end of this from Supergirl, Superman, and even Luthor. |
| 87 | * YoureInsane: Numerous characters have called him out on his madness. |

| 90 | [[folder:Gorilla Grodd]] |
| 91 | [[quoteright:260:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gorilla_grodd_earth_27.jpg]] |
| 92 | |
| 93 | Gorilla Grodd is a super intelligent, telepathic, anthropomorphic gorilla. A deadly opponent to all of the champions of good, Grodd is most well known for his rivalry with The Flash and also the father of Sam Simeon. |
| 94 | ---- |
| 95 | * AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In the comics he's Sam's grandfather, but here he's his father. |
| 96 | * ArchnemesisDad: Grodd is this towards his son Sam Simeon. |
| 97 | * BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: Being experimented and modified by Cadmus Labs made his already negative outlook on humans much worse. |
| 98 | * BerserkButton: Never call him a monkey or he'll tear you to pieces. |
| 99 | * EvilIsBigger: Meta-gorillas are already taller than normal apes, and he's even bigger thanks to the modifications done to him. |
| 100 | * FantasticRacism: He views humans as a worthless mud race and regularly tries to wipe them from the face of the earth. |
| 101 | * GeniusBruiser: A 1,089 pound gorilla with psychic powers. |
| 102 | * HulkSpeak: Cadmus experimentation left him speaking this way, but he's just as smart as he has always been. He eventually recovers the ability to speak full sentences. |
| 103 | * IntelligentPrimate: He's an intelligent gorilla with a never ending desire to impose his will on others, be they human or ape. |
| 104 | * KillerGorilla: He's Grodd, so of course he's a huge, human-hating gorilla. |
| 105 | * MadScientist: An evil gorilla scientist. Grodd is extremely intelligent with knowledge of technology beyond the development of human civilization. |
| 106 | * ManiacMonkeys: He's an intelligent ape with nefarious plans for humanity. |
| 107 | * PsychicPowers: His moveset. |
| 108 | ** MindProbe: He has shown the ability to absorb intelligence through the consumption of human brains. |
| 109 | ** {{Telepathy}}: The primary reason he's a threat to the Flash is that his telepathy operates as quickly as Flash's speed. Coupled with the fact that Grodd's far tougher than a normal gorilla, Grodd is one of the few villains the Flash can't face head-on. |
| 110 | * SuperStrength: Grodd is far, far stronger than your average gorilla. |
| 111 | * UpliftedAnimal: He's second generation of a group of gorillas that gained super intelligence. |

| 117 | |
| 118 | Edward "Eddie" Nygma, formerly Nashton, is a villain obsessed with riddles, puzzles, and brain teasers, who took the alias of the Riddler to commit crimes. |
| 119 | ---- |
| 120 | * AbusiveParents: He was brutally beaten as a child because his father believed that he was a cheater and a liar. His mother simply neglected him while she ran off with one of her many lovers. |
| 121 | * AdaptationalHeroism: Instead of murdering his estranged daughter Emily Nashton, he faked her murder to give her the chance of a better life since he was returning to his evil ways. |
| 122 | * ActorAllusion: His appearance is based on Creator/JimCarrey, who played the Riddler in ''Batman Forever''. His hawaiian shirt in his casual look refers to ''Ace Ventura'', also starred by Carrey. |
| 123 | * AdaptationalSexuality: Heterosexual in the comics, bisexual here, although he appears to prefer women. |
| 124 | * AlliterativeFamily: His father was named Edgar and his two daughters are named Emily and Edith. |
| 125 | * ArchEnemy: Batman is his in his mind, but much to his fury, he's rarely considered to be Batman's arch-enemy by anyone else, that spot usually belonging to The Joker. |
| 126 | * AttentionWhore: Nygma has a pathological need for attention, talks and acts dramatically, goes through sudden emotional shifts, and tends to have delusions regarding the nature of certain relationships. His preference for others' attention is for him to be acknowledged as being incredibly intelligent. |
| 127 | * BadassInANiceSuit: He often dresses in snappy suits. And yeah, he can be a badass when the situation calls for it. |
| 128 | * BadassLongcoat: For his enhanced look he wears a long coat over his green suit. |
| 129 | * BadassNormal: Riddler is a normal man with no superpowers, and he opposes heroes using his incredibly high intelligence to create brain-twisters plots and has perchance for creating {{Death Trap}}s. |
| 130 | * BenevolentBoss: He's considered the best to work for at The Masterminds, giving them the best overall package with a vacation plan, dental and health insurance and even a 401k. This results in his crew, especially his lieutenants, being very loyal to him. |
| 131 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: Seems harmless and goofy, doesn't he? WRONG. |
| 132 | * ConsummateLiar: Nygma is a particularly crafty liar. He has proven himself able to defeat and utterly manipulate results from a polygraph. Nygma has even experimented with complex thought compartmentalization techniques that have enabled him in the past to fool certain mystical and psychic means of detecting deception. |
| 133 | * TheCracker: Nygma is world-class computer programmer and hacker. He has brought down the networks of A.R.G.U.S., DEO, and the Justice League's Watchtower. He has even hacked the Batcave in the past (before it was upgraded with Kela). |
| 134 | * CuriosityIsACrapshoot: Nygma is obsessed with puzzles, riddles, trivia, quizzes, and mind games. He is insatiably curious and cannot stand secrets being kept from him. |
| 135 | * CriminalMindGames: His M.O. |
| 136 | * DeadpanSnarker: Always has a sarcastic quip in him. |
| 137 | * DemolitionsExpert: Nygma has proven himself a talented chemist, able to not only design his own explosives but also place them in the proper locations to achieve the exact results he wants — whether that means more destruction or precise explosions. |
| 138 | * DemonicPossession: He was possessed by the devil Azazel in order to manipulate Albert Davis into causing the Hell on Earth. |
| 139 | * DominoMask: A purple one. |
| 140 | * EscapeArtist: Riddler is adept in escapology. Since childhood Edward has been a big fan of the late great Harold Houdini. Using this skill to build his infamous elaborate death traps and easily escape handcuffs. Like the Joker, he can escape the high security hospital Arkham Asylum whenever he pleases. |
| 141 | * EvilGenius: He's a genius among geniuses, one of the smartest men in the world, though he's consistently hampered by his compulsions. |
| 142 | * FatalFlaw: His [[{{Idiosyncrazy}} compulsion]] to use RiddleMeThis often gives away his position, as he usually doesn't expect anyone to figure out his often difficult puzzles. |
| 143 | * GreenEyedMonster: Towards Batman. His whole goal is to prove that he's better at deduction than him. He fittingly has green eyes too. |
| 144 | * HonoraryUncle: He's the godfather of Lucy Quinzel, and delivered her on the night Harley went into labor. He also allowed Harley to leave her daughter in the care of his ex-wife Kristen Kramer. |
| 145 | * IHaveManyNames: Arthur Wayne, Conundrum Champion, Patient #48140, Prince of Conundrums, Prince of Puzzles, Puzzle King, Quiz Daddy, Quizard, Quizmaster Supreme. |
| 146 | * InsufferableGenius: With the emphasis on "insufferable". He's the self-declared smartest man in Gotham and he doesn't mind lording it over that big dumb Bat at every opportunity. |
| 147 | * LargeHam: He had a tendency towards giggling, manic monologues. |
| 148 | * ObfuscatingInsanity: His doctors question whether he's insane or just childish. |

| 150 | * PsychoticSmirk: A trademark of his. |
| 151 | * RelatedInTheAdaptation: His first wife is Kristen Kramer, who is the mother of his eldest daughter Emily Nashton/Enigma of the Secret Six. His second wife is Josette Monet, who in the comics was his short-lived henchwoman Quelle, being the mother of his second daughter Edith Monet. |
| 152 | * RiddleMeThis: He's not the TropeNamer for nothing. |
| 153 | * SecondaryColorNemesis: He tends towards green outfits with purple highlights. |
| 154 | * SmallNameBigEgo: While he's genuinely intelligent and clever, he's perpetually seeking to prove himself as the smartest person in the room. |
| 155 | * SymbolMotifClothing: His outfit is adorned with question marks. |
| 156 | * TheTopicOfCancer: Even though soaking on a Lazarus Pit seemingly cured him of his brain cancer and restored his sanity, it appears that it was only in remission, since he started showing signs the cancer was returning when he became a villain again. |
| 157 | * TheTrickster: His riddles can prove very difficult. |
| 158 | * VillainousFriendship: He's an ally of the Gotham City Sirens. |
| 159 | * WorthyOpponent: Considers Batman this, due to him being the only one smart enough to solve his riddles. |

| 164 | |
| 165 | Bizarro is an imperfect copy of Superman created by science gone awry. Bizarro has powers similar to Superman but lacks his sense of justice and has difficulty telling right from wrong, often reveling in destruction for its own sake. |
| 166 | ---- |
| 167 | * BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad: One of Bizarro's classic character tics is that he always says the opposite of what he thinks. |
| 168 | * ChestInsignia: A backwards Superman shield. |
| 169 | * CloneDegeneration: Technically. He is an imperfect clone of Superman. |
| 170 | * CompositeCharacter: His appearance seems to be based on his ''Injustice 2'' incarnation. |
| 171 | * DumbMuscle: Only he isn't dumb per se. He's definitely slow, but he's essentially only as old as an infant and so lacks virtually any life experiences of his own. |
| 172 | * HulkSpeak: Technically, "Bizarro speak". |
| 173 | * KryptoniteFactor: Blue Kryptonite has proven to be fatal to Bizarro. Exposure to blue Kryptonite radiation drains away Bizarro's strength, and prolonged exposure will ultimately kill him. |
| 174 | * NoSell: Bizarro happens to be immune to green and gold kryptonite. |
| 175 | * SuperpowerLottery: Like Superman, he's a big winner, possessing most of the Man of Steel's powers, though with some differences. |
| 176 | ** BreathWeapon: Unlike Superman, who has freezing breath, Bizarro breathes fire. |
| 177 | ** EyeBeams: Can shoot freezing rays from his eyes as opposed to Superman's heat vision. |
| 178 | ** FlyingBrick: Like Superman he haves the same powers, although usually they come with a twist. |
| 179 | ** NighInvulnerability: Can take the same kind of beatings that Superman can and come out unscathed. |
| 180 | ** SuperSenses: Though at one point his microscopic vision was inverted and instead caused things to grow. |
| 181 | ** SuperSpeed: He has taken on the entire Justice League in a matter of minutes, and claimed to have tied with Zoom in a race, something the Flash couldn't even achieve. |
| 182 | ** SuperStrength: Bizarro is extremely strong, possessing explosive, almost unlimited super-strength. However, the exact magnitude of Bizarro's strength has never been measured or fully examined. He was once able to move a mountain with no form of aid. |

| 225 | Barbara Ann Minerva was an archaeologist who used an ancient ritual to turn herself into the avatar of Urzkartaga, but because she didn't meet the requirement of virginity, she was cursed by the god to suffer from an unending hunger for human flesh. |
| 226 | ---- |
| 227 | * AdventurerArchaeologist: Only an evil one. |
| 228 | * AnimalThemedSuperbeing: It's right there in the name. |
| 229 | * ArchEnemy: Wonder Woman's Secondary archnemesis. |
| 230 | * AwesomeByAnalysis: Cheetah is a cunning strategist. |
| 231 | * BareMidriffsAreFeminine: This version wears clothes and her toned stomach is exposed, and she's just as feminine as she's seductive, even if her approach is very different from Circe's. |
| 232 | * BeastMan: She has cheetah-like skin, a cat-like nose, a tail and claws. |
| 233 | * CatGirl: Her Cheetah form. A rather literal example unlike Catwoman, since she is actually part-human, part feline. |
| 234 | * TheChampion: To the Uzkartaga, whose power she wields. |
| 235 | * CompositeCharacter: Cheetah's appearance is taken straight from ''Justice League: Doom''. |
| 236 | * DarkActionGirl: Cheetah is very adept at hand to hand combat obviously able to go one on one with Wonder Woman repeatedly. |
| 237 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: She absolutely despises rapists. |
| 238 | * EvilRedhead: While her civilian form has brown hair, in her Cheetah form has long red hair. |
| 239 | * FemmeFatalons: Fierce claws worthy of any jungle cat are her primary asset — the better to flay her prey for Uzkartaga. |
| 240 | * {{Foil}}: To her ArchEnemy Wonder Woman: |
| 241 | ** They're both demi-goddess, granted Lightning Bruiser superpowers by divine favor. But while Diana was gifted hers, Minerva wrestled the Cheetah's power by force. |
| 242 | ** Diana is an amazon born in the divine world of Themyscira and came to Man's World with selfless goals. Minerva is a normal woman born in Man's World and got involved with divine beings through her own pursuit of power. |
| 243 | ** Minerva is amoral, selfish, and petty while Diana is moral, selfless, and forgiving. |
| 244 | ** Diana is a beloved figure who gets the admiration of many, including most of her patron gods. Minerva is despised due to her feral Cheetah appearance and despised by her patron god, who cursed her with frailty and pain. |
| 245 | ** Diana is a ChasteHeroine more interested in romance than sex, while Minerva is TheVamp who has had a lot of casual dalliances. |
| 246 | * GeniusBruiser: Part of what makes Minerva so dangerous is that she's intelligent, decisive and quick-thinking. She knows how to fight smart and how to take full advantage of her Cheetah's powers. |
| 247 | * HumanoidAbomination: While she doesn't necessarily look horrifying or mind-breaking, she can be considered the animal counterpart to Swamp Thing and her claws can severely injure a Kryptonian like Superman, since they're magic in origin. |
| 248 | * ImAHumanitarian: At her very, very worst. |
| 249 | * LightningBruiser: As the Cheetah, she's strong enough and fast enough to beat up Diana. |
| 250 | * PowerAtAPrice: Suffers severe pain when in human form. Later she had to feast on fresh blood to maintain her immortal powers and stave off the agonies of being in human form and stay alive. |
| 251 | * RitualMagic: Barbara must undergo a dark ritual involving human sacrifice to become the Cheetah. |
| 252 | * SecretIdentity: A.R.G.U.S. isn't aware she's part of the Legion of Doom. |
| 253 | * SexyCatPerson: Her Cheetah appearance is often played up for sex appeal and it's suggested by her that her powers actually made her into a SexGoddess. |
| 254 | * StatuesqueStunner: She's 5'9"/175cm tall and quite attractive in either form. |
| 255 | * SuperSenses: Cheetah's senses are a lot more powerful than a normal human. |

| 261 | |
| 262 | Winslow Schott is a misunderstood villain that uses toys as weapons as the Toyman. He believes that it is the adults that are ruining the world for the children. |
| 263 | ---- |
| 264 | * AdaptationOriginConnection: He helped create Robotman's chassis. |
| 265 | * BrainInAJar: Turns out that while his body did perish in the explosion, his brain was preserved and now controls an android body resembling his living self. |
| 266 | * CompositeCharacter: His appearance is based on the ''Young Justice'' incarnation. |
| 267 | * CutLexLuthorACheck: He builds a giant robot to rob a bank because constructing robots for his own personal use is expensive. |
| 268 | * GadgeteerGenius: His gimmick focuses mostly around building a large arsenal of toy-like gadgets. |
| 269 | * GreenAndMean: Wears a green coat with green gloves, and even at his best he's not a pleasant man. |
| 270 | * HumongousMecha: Pilots a giant toy soldier. |
| 271 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Winslow believes his actions are to protect children and he viewed himself as a righteous defender of childhood. A bit hypocritical when you realize he abandoned his two children. |
| 272 | * NeverFoundTheBody: He was presumed dead for years after apparently blowing himself up, only for him to reappear seemingly alive alongside his son and Jack Nimball. Considering his brain was somewhere else, it's no surprise he survived. |
| 273 | * ParentalNeglect: He was too busy with his projects to pay attention to his children, and only grew more distant after the accident that left his wife on life support. |
| 274 | * PosthumousCharacter: After an attempt to kill his former business partner. But in claiming his revenge, Superman interfered. Superman confronted Winslow and made him realize that other people were being injured in the crossfire. Superman told Winslow that while he had been off the grid planning all this, Mary had made a recovery and was on her feet again, waiting to talk to him. Winslow almost surrendered but at the last second, with Superman and his former partner there, Winslow decided Superman was lying to him and detonated his workshop. The blast launched Superman clear of the explosion and left not a trace of Winslow Schott nor his partner. |
| 275 | * RemoteBody: The Toyman is actually an android body controlled by his brain. |
| 276 | * RobotMaster: He is really fond of creating various toy-like robots as his personal army and vehicles. He's perfectly capable of making full-fledged lifelike androids, and will do so if a scheme calls for it, but he just seems to find it less interesting. |
| 277 | * WickedToymaker: It's his whole schtick to create giant or dangerous toys as weapons to be used against his enemies. |

| 282 | |
| 283 | The original champion of the Wizard, Black Adam's disdain for morality and hunger for power were punished with eternal imprisonment within the tomb of Ramesses II. Following his escape, he usurped the throne of Kahndaq by force, and has become one of the most powerful enemies of Billy Batson, the superhero known as Captain Marvel/Shazam. |
| 284 | ---- |
| 285 | * AllYourPowersCombined: Shu's Stamina, Heru's Swiftness and flight, Amon's Strength, Zehuti's Wisdom, Aton's Power, and Mehen's Courage. |
| 286 | * ArchEnemy: After Sivana, he's Billy's greatest enemy. Comes with being his EvilCounterpart. |
| 287 | * CantTakeCriticism: If he feels you are anything less than respectful in his presence, that's more than enough reason for him to end you. Insulting him directly makes him even more vicious. |
| 288 | * ChestInsignia: Like Captain Marvel, a lightning bolt. |
| 289 | * DeliberateValuesDissonance: 5000 years ago, his actions are purely heroic. |
| 290 | * DragonAscendant: He later replaced Toyman as a new full-fledged member. |
| 291 | * EvilWearsBlack: As if you couldn't tell by the name. |
| 292 | * FallenHero: He used to be the original wielder of the Power of Shazam, but lost his way. |
| 293 | * FatalFlaw: Wrath. His brutality and tendency to go on violent rampages whenever he feels sufficiently wronged are the cause of the vast majority of his problems. |
| 294 | * FlyingBrick: Black Adam, like all users of the power of Shazam, is an example of this. |
| 295 | * GeniusBruiser: He's very intelligent, although unlike with Captain Marvel, there's no supernatural element present. |
| 296 | * GoodIsNotNice: Even at his absolute best, he's still very much a product of his time and is more brutal than most unambiguously villainous characters. |
| 297 | * TheGoodKing: Yeah, his methods are questionable at best and his sheer brutality towards his enemies makes most true villains pale in comparison, but he truly loves his country and people and wants to rule them wisely and justly and keep them safe from harm. |
| 298 | * HealingFactor: He displayed the ability to use the transformative lightning to heal others or himself instantly from wounds inflicted on his mortal form. |
| 299 | * KnightTemplar: He wants to have his country safe and to have a happy family. It's his actions that are disgusting. |
| 300 | * MightMakesRight: He's got the power of six gods - ''of course'' he deserves to rule. |
| 301 | * NighInvulnerability: There's not much out there that can hurt Black Adam; there have been times when neither he nor Captain Marvel could hurt the other. |
| 302 | * NobleDemon: Sure, he's ruthless and brutal, but he does have a sense of honor and doesn't commit atrocities unless provoked. He also truly cares about his nation and making his people prosper. |
| 303 | * ShockAndAwe: Black Adam can use the lightning bolt as a weapon by dodging it and allowing it to strike an opponent or target. |
| 304 | * WorthyOpponent: Has a grudging respect for Billy. |

| 318 | * FourEyesZeroSoul: Wears glasses and he's a sociopath obsessed with inflicting fear upon others. |
| 319 | * {{Hallucinations}}: What Scarecrow's Fear Gas inflicts upon its victims. It causes a person to see their worst fears, subsequently causing a city-wide panic attack and riots. It would have gotten worse had Batman and his allies not managed to stop him. |
| 320 | * IKnowWhatYouFear: His gimmick. |
| 321 | * InTheHood: His original look had a straw hat, but his enhanced look comes with a hood. |
| 322 | * LeanAndMean: Scarecrow is extremely slender and lanky, and of course he's a psychotic killer. |
| 323 | * MadScientist: Well, not quite a scientist, but definitely the gist of this trope. |
| 324 | * MasterOfIllusion: Particularly the scary kind. |
| 325 | * MindRape: His shtick. He uses his fear gas to make his victims experience their worst fears. |
| 326 | * NightmareFetishist: Almost literally, as his fascination of fear reaches disturbing proportions, and he may seek out conflict with Batman just to feel afraid. |
| 327 | * RelatedInTheAdaptation: He's a descendant of the Fable Ichabod Crane, meaning he's part Fable. His younger sister is the occult detective Arabelle Crane, and his grandfather Haskel Crane was a ghost from ''Supernatural''. |
| 328 | * ScaryScarecrows: His entire reason for dressing up like a scarecrow is because of the symbolism; after all, a scarecrow's purpose is to scare. |
| 329 | * ShadowArchetype: Like Batman, he uses fear as a gimmick in his actions, except Crane uses fear for malicious purposes. |

| 336 | ---- |
| 337 | * ArchEnemy: She's Wonder Woman's greatest enemy. |
| 338 | * {{Clairvoyance}}: Circe also seems to have limited clairvoyant potential, mostly demonstrating a mystical awareness of guests on her island and the presence of other immortals in her company. She was able to detect Hermes in an invisible state when he visited her. |

| 362 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: His targets were a defense contractor, a priest embroiled in a scandal about child abuse, and Lex Luthor. He also saved a bus full of children with special needs (although not without giving them nightmares in the process) who were taken hostage by members of C.R.I.M.E. |
| 363 | * LegacyCharacter: In a way, he's the second Toyman after Winslow Schott. |
