7
8The cheerful protector of Fortune City on Earth-Alpha.
9----
10* BatmanParody: Of the Creator/AdamWest [[Series/Batman1966 Batman]].
11* CrazyPrepared: He has several items prepared should he need it, like a capsule that uses the metal in bullets to help them heal faster.
12* GoodCounterpart: He's the most selfless and noble version of Richard Fame in TheMultiverse.
13* IncorruptiblePurePureness: He's very traditionally heroic, which is a sharp contrast to Dragonfly and the rest of Earth-Omega.
14* OtherMeAnnoysMe: When he first arrives at the Earth-Omega Bug House, he at first is simply disappointed as he learns that Dragonfly is more military leaning in regards to his style of crime fighting while lacking any connection to the authorities and drinks alcohol, which he forgives due to the harsh conditions of his world. However once he learns that Chip is dead on Earth-Omega and comes to learn how Dragonfly is a killer, by the time they meet in Volume 2 he has no respect for him and in fact worries about what damage he caused on Earth-Alpha. [[spoiler:Ultimately they are able to put this aside to work together in order to fight Man-Dragonfly, who is far worse that Dragonfly and is the true BigBad. He also encourages Stinger to thank Dragonfly for helping Earth-Alpha for over a year, showing that he does have some respect for his counterpart.]]
15* TheParagon: According to Stinger-Two he's like a child sometimes with his desire to always do the right thing, but his dedication to it can inspire people like Jordan.
16* ThouShaltNotKill: He's against killing which is why he hates Dragonfly when they meet, though at the same time he only voices some disapproval when Stinger-Two kills. This might be because Earth-Omega is Jordan's home and he knows him pretty well, while Dragonflyman didn't know Dragonfly or whether he was killing people without reason.
17* TookALevelInJerkass: He's more rude in volume 2, especially to Dragonfly, after a year on Earth-Omega. However unlike his counterpart who TookALevelInKindness, this is far less noticeable and he's largely the same as he was in the first volume.

23%%[[caption-width-right:350:some caption text]]
24
25The grim and violent defender of Fortune City on Earth-Omega.
26----
27* AntiHero: He's a violent vigilante who seems to have abandoned his no killing rule long ago, and even before that he wasn't above brutalizing his enemies.
28* BatmanParody: Of more dark and violent versions of Batman, specifically the one from ''ComicBook/AllStarBatmanAndRobinTheBoyWonder''.
29* HeelRealization: It's implied that Stinger's suicide and being trapped on Earth-Alpha is what caused him to become a better person by volume 2.
30* MyGreatestFailure: His treatment of Stinger which led to his suicide, while taking of the Earth-Alpha Stinger between the first and second volumes is his chance to [[MyGreatestSecondChance atone for his mistakes]].
31* OtherMeAnnoysMe: When he first arrives at the Earth-Alpha Bug House, he laughs at how Dragonflyman keeps trophies of his victories while being angers that he works with Mayor Shankford and President Noble who are corrupt on Earth-Omega. By the time they meet in Volume 2, he finds Dragonflyman to be condescending and arrogant. [[spoiler:Ultimately they are able to put this aside to work together in order to fight Man-Dragonfly, who is revealed to be the true BigBad. Dragonflyman also encourages Stinger to thank Dragonfly for helping Earth-Alpha for over a year, showing that he does have some respect for his counterpart.]]
32* TookALevelInKindness: He's far more heroic and kind in volume 2 after a year on Earth-Alpha.

37[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stinger_9.jpg]]
38%%[[caption-width-right:350:some caption text]]
39
40The still living sidekick to Dragonflyman.
41----
42* {{Expy}}: Of ComicBook/{{Robin}}, specifically Creator/BurtWard's [[Series/Batman1966 version]].
43* KidSidekick: He's in his early to mid teens with an implied history of crime fighting that spans a few years.
44[[/folder]]
45
46[[folder:Stinger-Two]]
47!!Jordan Reece
48
49A former member of Number 1's gang who befriends Dragonflyman and becomes the new Stinger.
50----
51* AffirmativeActionLegacy: He's African-American while his predecessor was Caucasian.
52* AntiHeroSubstitute: He's a gun using vigilante who isn't afraid to kill, while his predecessor didn't kill though he could be pretty violent like Dragonfly.
53* {{Expy}}: Of [[ComicBook/RedHood Jason Todd]] due to being a DarkerAndEdgier successor to the first Stinger, though he has elements of Tim Drake due to his predecessor being dead.
54* TookALevelInJerkass: In Volume 2, Stinger-Two has become much more violent and aggressive, and actively kills criminals. However it's justified since [[spoiler:his world is falling apart due to the pollution being sent from Earth-Zeta]], and despite this he still respects Dragonflyman deeply for his convictions even if they disagree over which method for fighting crime is better.
55[[/folder]]
56
57[[folder:Deuce]]
58!!Deuce[[spoiler:/Lady Dragonflyman]]

61
62Number One's NumberTwo who joins the heroes once their worlds start crossing over.
63----
64* AtrociousAlias: [[spoiler:Stinger-Two can't hide his amusement in Volume 2 when he finds out her codename is Lady Dragonflyman.]]
65* DatingCatwoman: Had an unrequited crush on Dragonflyman, and by Volume 2 she's dating Dragonfly.
66* {{Expy}}: Deuce is ComicBook/HarleyQuinn, and is actually an interesting combination of all versions as while she is a loyal henchman to her Number One when the Earth-Omega arrives she shows a more heroic and competent side that wastes no time in trying to get rid of Dragonfly and the alternate Number 1. She also has similarities with ComicBook/{{Catwoman}} as she admits to [[DatingCatwoman having a crush on Dragonflyman]]. [[spoiler:Later becomes one for ComicBook/{{Batwoman}}, in particular the Kathy Kane version, and starts a relationship with Dragonfly.]]
67* HeelFaceTurn: When the Earth-Omega Number 1 arrives she decides to try and help the heroes to bring everything back to normal, and after that fails [[spoiler:joins the heroes for real as Lady Dragonflyman in Volume 2]].
68* NoNameGiven: Her real name isn't revealed.
69* ReplacementGoldfish: Dragonflyman seemingly would never return her feelings, but Dragonfly does and they seem to be truly in love in Volume 2.

71
72!The Multiverse
73!!Earth-Alpha
74[[folder:In General]]
75Home to Dragonflyman and Stinger, it's a LighterAndSofter world where good always seems to win.
76----
77* GoodCounterpart: Because of how good this universe generally is, even the villains are generally shown to be harmless thieves instead of killers.
78* LighterAndSofter: Than any other universe seen so far, as while it has its dangers the villains there are usually harmless.
79[[/folder]]
80
81!!!Supporting Characters
82[[folder:Henry Noble]]
83!!Henry Noble
84
85The president of Fortune City Bank.
86----

88* ThoseTwoGuys: Is always seen with Shankford.
89[[/folder]]

101!!Chief Brady
102
103The chief of the Fortune City Police Department.
104----
105* {{Expy}}: Of Chief O'Hara from ''Series/Batman1966'' with elements of Commissioner Gordon since he's Dragonflyman's friend on the force.

110!!Number One
111[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alphaone.jpg]]
112%%[[caption-width-right:350:some caption text]]
113
114The ArchEnemy of Dragonflyman.
115----
116* BigBadWannabe: Attempts to take over his counterpart's gang, only to be killed by them instead.
117* {{Expy}}: Of the Joker from ''Series/Batman1966'', only being a threat on his world while on others he's essentially harmless.
118* NormalFishInATinyPond: {{Inverted|Trope}}. As Dragonflyman explain, on Earth-Alpha he's the most dangerous criminal in the world. On Earth-Omega he's barely more dangerous than an average store owner.
119[[/folder]]
120
121!!Earth-Omega
122[[folder:In General]]
123Home to Dragonfly, it's a DarkerAndEdgier world where nobody can be trusted.
124----
125* CrapsackWorld: It's basically Gotham at it's absolute worst all the time.
126* DarkerAndEdgier: Arguably the worst universe seen so far as everyone in a position of power is corrupt, the villains are dangerous psychopaths and the closest thing to a hero was so abusive his sidekick killed himself.
127* DarkWorld: In comparison to the other worlds in the multiverse.
128[[/folder]]
129
130!!!Supporting Characters
131[[folder:Stinger]]
132!!Chip Andrews
133
134Dragonfly's deceased former sidekick.
135----
136* DeadAlternateCounterpart: He's so far the only Chip Andrews to be dead.
137* DrivenToSuicide: It's implied that Dragonfly's abusive behavior and his life as Stinger drove Chip to kill himself.
138* KidSidekick: He's in his early to mid teens with an implied history of crime fighting that spans a few years. Unlike his Earth-Alpha counterpart he's a dark deconstruction of the trope as his career leaves him with plenty of issues and eventually killing himself.
139[[/folder]]
140
141!!!Antagonists
142[[folder:Number One]]
143!!Number One
144[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/omegaone.jpg]]
145%%[[caption-width-right:350:some caption text]]
146
147The ArchEnemy of Dragonfly.
148----
149* {{Expy}}: Of the Joker from ''Film/TheDarkKnight'' and other darker portrayals, being a psychopath who enjoys killing people for fun.
150* NormalFishInATinyPond: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. On Earth-Omega he's an incredibly dangerous and violent criminal, but that reality is such a CrapsackWorld that he's hardly unique. Nobody knows how to react to him on Earth-Alpha where he's seemingly the only psychopath, as all the other costumed villains are motivated more by greed and often come up with convoluted ways to kill someone instead of simply murdering them Number One does.
151[[/folder]]
152
153[[folder:Chief Brady]]
154!!Chief Brady
155
156The chief of the Fortune City Police Department.
157----
158* EvilCounterpart: His Earth-Alpha is a bumbling ally to Dragonflyman, but here he's determined to capture and kill Dragonfly while often abusing his authority.
159[[/folder]]
160
161!!!Other
162[[folder:Henry Noble]]
163!!Henry Noble
164
165The president of Fortune City Bank.
166----
167* TheCameo: Only appears in a brief flashback when Dragonfly meets Noble's Earth-Alpha counterpart.
168* EvilCounterpart: Unlikely the seemingly well intentioned Noble of Earth-Alpha, this version was apparently arrested by the police before the events of the comic.
169[[/folder]]
170
171[[folder:Mayor Shankford]]
172!!Mayor Shankford
173
174The mayor of Fortune City.
175----
176* TheCameo: Only appears in a brief flashback when Dragonfly meets Noble's Earth-Alpha counterpart.
177* EvilCounterpart: Unlikely the seemingly well intentioned Shankford of Earth-Alpha, this version was a pedophile who was exposed by a reporter.
178[[/folder]]
179
180!!Earth-Zeta
181[[folder:In General]]
182A high-tech utopia who has a dark secret.
183----
184* BadFuture: It's far more technologically advanced than other Earths and all the characters seem to be a decade older than any of their counterparts. However, despite all it's advancements the Number 1 of this reality had to divert the harmful effects of their technology and pollution onto other Earths.
185* ForWantOfANail: Unlike other universe which suffered from wars, this one experienced a long period of technological advancement. However this came at the cost of causing far more damage to the environment.
186[[/folder]]
187
188!!!Supporting Characters
189[[folder:Man-Dragonfly]]
190!!Richard Fame
191
192The high-tech hero of Fortune City.
193----
194* AlternateSelf: The third version of Richard Fame to be introduced.
195* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler:He appears to be an ally to the heroes who was unaware of what Number 1 was doing, but he's the true BigBad and tries to kill the heroes. He also apparently abused Nightsting.]]
196* {{Expy}}: [[spoiler:Of Batman's EvilCounterpart Owlman]].
197* FutureFoil: He's an older version of Richard Fame, and in particular represents who Dragonfly could have become if his Stinger hadn't died.
198* ShadowArchetype: [[spoiler:Represents what would have happened if Dragonfly never had his HeelRealization due to Stinger's suicide and travelling to Earth-Alpha. Man-Dragonfly remained an abusive mentor to Nightsting while becoming the BigBad of the comic.]]
199* ThouShaltNotKill: When Dragonflyman explains that he was fighting Dragonfly because the latter kills, Man-Dragonfly simply explains that they all have their own ways of fighting evil and that he has killed in situations when there were no other options. [[spoiler:Given the revelation that he's the BigBad, whether that's true or not is unclear.]]
200[[/folder]]
201
202[[folder:Nightsting]]
203!!Chip Andrews
204
205The sidekick of Man-Dragonfly.
206----
207* FutureFoil: He's an older version of Stinger and represents the type of person he could grow into, or in the case of the Earth-Omega version who he could have been if he hadn't died.
208* {{Expy}}: Due to being older than the other versions of Chip Andrews he brings to mind ComicBook/{{Nightwing}}. [[spoiler:Since Earth-Zeta is essentially [[MirrorUniverse Earth-3]] he's also one for Talon.]]
209[[/folder]]
210
211!!!Antagonists
212[[folder:Number One]]
213!!Number One
214
215A corrupt businessman responsible for transferring the pollution on Earth-Zeta to Earth-Alpha and Earth-Omega.
216----
217* AntiVillain: He wants to help his world, but only to feed his own ego and he doesn't care whether other worlds pay the price.
218* ForWantOfANail: While still a villain, this Number 1 didn't become a criminal and instead channeled his selfish desires to better the world.
219[[/folder]]
220
221!!Earth-Kappa
222[[folder:In General]]
223A dark and moody universe seemingly set in TheEighties.
224----
225* DarkerAndEdgier: Than Earth-Alpha, being a more noirish world where it's hero has lost track of his original mission.
226* ForWantOfANail: Apparently the events of ''Purple'' took place thirty years ago, implying it's a world Richard Fame was born decades earlier than his counterparts. This would make it similar to Earth-Zeta where everyone seemed to at least be a decade older than their counterparts from Earth-Alpha and Earth-Zeta.
227* LighterAndSofter: Despite being darker than Earth-Alpha, it's far more optimistic than Earth-Omega and Zeta as ultimately Dragon-Fly remembers his original mission while not being a killer like Dragonfly or Man-Dragonfly.
228[[/folder]]
229
230!!!Fame Enterprises
231[[folder:Dragon-Fly]]
232!!Richard Fame
233
234The depressed and brooding hero of Fortune City.
235----
236* AlternateSelf: The fourth version of Richard Fame to be introduced.
237* BatmanParody: Naturally of Batman, but he seems inspired by the version from the late 80s and early 90s.
238* ForWantOfANail:
239** Dragon-Fly was once a more traditional hero, but eventually began focusing on making money through his company while not doing nearly as much heroics. This leaves him bitter and full of self-loathing for losing track of what's actually important, but his fight against the Player remind him.
240** There's no mention of Chip Andrews, and while a Stinger costume appears at the end of ''Purple'' it's implied he built it for Jordan Reece. So either Chip doesn't exist on Earth-Kappa or he's never met Dragon-Fly.
241* GoodAngelBadAngel: After being exposed to a drug by the Player, Dragon-Fly imagines two versions of himself who represent his desire to protect people and his desire to punish the guilty. Coincidentally, they look just like Dragonflyman and Dragonfly.
242[[/folder]]
243
244[[folder:Jordan Reece]]
245!!Jordan Reece
246
247An office worker who is saved by Dragon-Fly.
248----
249* AlternateSelf: Of the Earth-Omega Stinger-Two.
250* ForWantOfANail: Is an older version of Jordan Reece who grew up to work at Fame Enterprises, instead of being a teenager who joined Number 1's gang.
251[[/folder]]
252
253!!!Antagonists
254[[folder:The Player]]
255!!The Player
256
257A music themed villain.
258----
259* TragicVillain: He was a victim of the corruption in Fortune City.
