| 37 | |
| 38 | A general of the United States Army stationed in Hong Kong during Oliver's third year of presumed death who allows Oliver Queen and the Yamashiros to go home. He actually sets them up to be killed and steals the Alpha-Omega virus from Amanda Waller, intending to unleash it all over Hong Kong. |
| 39 | ---- |
| 40 | * AdaptationalVillainy: Led the ComicBook/CreatureCommandos, a special military unit in the U.S. Army designed to protect America during World War II. Here he's the BigBad of the Season 3 flashbacks who wants to destroy China on the possibility they can destroy the U.S. This is admittedly not out of character for the comic book Shrieve. |
| 41 | * ArcVillain: Takes this position from Amanda Waller in the Season 3 flashbacks. |
| 42 | * AssholeVictim: Oliver gives him what is quite possibly the most brutal and extensive torture session ever seen on Arrow thus far. If you've seen the tropes below however you can tell that [[SarcasmMode it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy]]. |
| 43 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: Initially seems friendly and willing to help Oliver out. Then he goes and tries to have him and the Yamashiro family assassinated. |
| 44 | * CelebrityParadox: Two seasons after his appearance, Curtis names his T-Spheres after the ferrets from ''Film/TheBeastmaster'', even mentioning Marc Singer by name. |
| 45 | * ColdBloodedTorture: Oliver subjects him to an extensive torture process which includes; getting shot with arrows, a hammer and a saw, after the latter is bound and helpless before him. Considering the fact he released a bio weapon that no doubt killed thousands of people, [[KillTheCutie including Akio]], and was very [[SmugSnake smug]] and [[KickTheDog satisfied about it]] [[AssholeVictim it's very difficult to feel sorry for him]]. |
| 46 | * EvilCripple: A diabetic GeneralRipper who has little to no regard on human lives. |
| 47 | * GeneralRipper: Shrieve is fanatically obsessed with destroying China due to his belief that China's economy ''may'' be a military threat to America. That and besides being an actual general, he seems like a ReasonableAuthorityFigure at first, but is revealed to be an over-zealous, militant bastard in "Broken Arrow" when he enacts a hostile takeover of A.R.G.U.S. and plans to kill thousands of Hong Kong citizens with the Omega. |
| 48 | * KickTheDog: Laughs in Tatsu and Maseo's faces about the death of their son. |
| 49 | * MercyKill: Maseo does this do him after Oliver's extensive torture session. |
| 50 | * PatrioticFervor: Wants to release the Omega bio-weapon in the middle of Hong Kong in the name of protecting the United States from a "military" threat. |
| 51 | * PragmaticAdaptation: In the comics, he's the human leader of the Creature Commandos, a group in the army made up of supernatural creatures like a vampire, werewolf and a gorgon. Here he's just a general in the United States army. |
| 52 | * SmugSnake: Acts pretty smug to Oliver since he has his men training rifles at him and the Yamashiro's, however it doesn't take long for Oliver and Maseo to kill said men and then for Oliver [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown to beat the shit out of him]]. He also seems confidant that his men will find him when Oliver has him bound helpless at least before the latter [[ColdBloodedTorture takes up his bow]]. |
| 53 | * TheUsurper: Kicks Amanda off the A.R.G.U.S. throne and locks her up when he successfully acquires the Omega. |
| 54 | * VillainousLegacy: His stint with the Alpha-Omega Virus leads to Maseo acquiring it after his death, and Ra'as al Ghul's plan for Oliver couldn't have been possible with it. |
| 55 | * WalkingSpoiler: For the last quarter of the Season 3 flashbacks, hence why spoilers are unmarked in this folder. |
| 56 | * WouldHurtAChild: Showed absolutely zero remorse for the death of Akio and no doubt hundreds of other children that would have died from the Alpha/Omega bioweapon. |

| 73 | -> see the Characters/SupermanAndLois page to see his counterpart from the ''Superman & Lois'' universe |
| 74 | ---- |
| 75 | * AbsoluteXenophobe: In "Blood Bonds", he tells Astra that the movie ''{{Film/The Day the Earth Stood Still|1951}}'' gave him nightmares as a kid because it has an alien threatening the humans to stop their evil ways or else be destroyed. This led to his fear and hatred of aliens. |
| 76 | * AndStarring: Is credited with a "Special Guest Star" citation. |
| 77 | * TheBusCameBack: He returns in the ''Series/SupermanAndLois'' spin-off. |
| 78 | * CelebrityParadox: |
| 79 | ** ''Series/TwentyFour'' was mentioned by Winn in Season 2. His actor played one of the series' most prominent {{Recurring Character}}s. |
| 80 | ** The ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'' was [[WritingAroundTrademarks vaguely mentioned]] in Season 2. His actor played a minor character in ''Film/XMenFirstClass''. |
| 81 | * DatingWhatDaddyHates: He doesn't like James. Not because he's friends with Superman and Supergirl but for having too much faith in the likes of them, and he believes James is holding his daughter back. Given that Clark and Lois are an item in this 'verse, he's probably not too fond of that either. |
| 82 | * DoUntoOthersBeforeTheyDoUntoUs: As "Red Faced" goes on, it becomes increasingly obvious that this was his motive behind backing the Red Tornado program. |
| 83 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Despite being a nasty and xenophobic GeneralRipper, he genuinely loves his daughter Lucy, and presumably Lois as well. |
| 84 | * {{Expy}}: He largely stands in for the comics character Wade Eiling, who's currently tied up in the Series/{{Arrowverse}}. |
| 85 | * FantasticRacism: The man is profoundly prejudiced against aliens, seeing no difference between Supergirl and the Fort Rozz escapees. |
| 86 | * FreudianExcuse: He might not be so anti-alien if his father hadn't taken him to see ''{{Film/The Day the Earth Stood Still|1951}}'' as a child. |
| 87 | * GeneralRipper: Seems intent with picking a fight with Kryptonians, which would be smart if the target of his ire wasn't Supergirl. |
| 88 | * {{Hypocrite}}: He calls James "self-righteous" for not having an alcoholic drink with dinner. But Lane himself is so staggeringly self-righteous that he believes he knows what's best for everyone and everything, and that anyone who disagrees with him (even his own daughter) is making a big mistake. |
| 89 | * {{Jerkass}}: The man is a complete and absolute asshole to everyone, with the sole exception of his daughter. |
| 90 | * JerkassHasAPoint: In "Blood Bonds", Kara pleads with him not to torture Astra for information, saying that the good guys are better than that. His response? "We are. ''They'' aren't." While he is unquestionably an asshole, he's probably correct that Astra's side would not have the same qualms about torture if the roles were reversed. |
| 91 | * InterserviceRivalry: If it were up to him the DEO would be disbanded and all its duties assumed by Army Intelligence. |
| 92 | * NeverMyFault: Is extremely quick to blame both Supergirl and T.O. Morrow when Red Tornado goes rogue after being damaged, despite the fact that it was his idea to send the untested prototype up against Supergirl in the first place. |
| 93 | * OddNameOut: He doesn't follow the {{Alliterative|Family}} FamilyThemeNaming unlike his daughters, though it's possible that his wife also didn't follow([[AmbiguousSituation ed]]) it. |
| 94 | * TheOneGuy: The only male in the Lane household. |
| 95 | * UngratefulBastard: Doesn't thank Supergirl for saving him and Lucy. |
| 96 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Hasn't been mentioned despite [[SequelHook being set-up]] as a major player during the Season 1 finale. He does appear through a phone call with J'onn in the Season 3 premiere. |

| 112 | A corrupt U.S. Army General who wants to sell the nuclear triggers left after Genesis and then frames John for it. |
| 113 | ---- |
| 114 | * ArcVillain: For John, from the second up until the twelfth episode of Season 5, as he tries to frame him for treason and also targets his family. |
| 115 | * CanonForeigner: He's a completely original character created for ''Arrow'', and thus has no counterpart in any other DC canon. |
| 116 | * CelebrityParadox: On ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'' Nate and Ray reference ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''. His actor has provided the voice of the yak Prince Rutherford since that show's fifth season. |
| 117 | * DespairEventHorizon: Justifies his betrayal by claiming that he has lost all hope after H.I.V.E.'s attempt to nuke the world, [[GoMadFromTheRevelation realizing that Metahumans and magic users are way out of his or anybody's pay grade]] and that he wants to live wealthy until the inevitable destruction. |
| 118 | * FrameUp: His entire subplot is about him trying to frame John for his actions. |
| 119 | * NoHonorAmongThieves: Sells a nuclear weapon to terrorists, only to try and steal it back to sell it twice. |
| 120 | * ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: Has the Attorney General on speed dial. |
| 121 | * StrikeMeDownWithAllOfYourHatred: When John has him on the ropes, he tries to goad him into killing him by threatening to come for his family next. It doesn't work. |

| 135 | A U.S. Army General who's collaborated with Harrison Wells in the past. He returns to Central City after Bette San Souci reveals herself. |
| 136 | ---- |
| 137 | * AndStarring: Is credited with a "Special Guest Star" citation. |
| 138 | * ArcVillain: For the Firestorm storyline. While he doesn't appear until near the end, his confiscation of Stein's research is an indirect catalyst for Stein going to STAR Labs and getting into the accident with Ronnie. |
| 139 | * ArchEnemy: Considers Grodd this after being tortured by him. |
| 140 | * AssholeVictim: He's such a smug, power-hungry dick that it's hard to feel sad when Thawne sics Grodd on him. |
| 141 | * BigBadWannabe: PlayedWith. He is a genuine threat and someone to be concerned about, but is relatively minor in the grand scheme of things compared the Reverse-Flash. After having enough of Eiling's crusade to turn the meta-humans into living weapons he has him dragged off by Grodd at the end of "Fallout". |
| 142 | * CelebrityParadox: |
| 143 | ** Cisco mentioned ''Film/TheShawshankRedemption'' in Season 1. Clancy Brown played Captain Hadley in that film. |
| 144 | ** In the second annual {{Crossover}} with ''Series/{{Arrow}}'', Cisco mockingly calls the main villain "Franchise/{{Highlander}}". Eilling's actor was part of [[Film/{{Highlander}} the film]] that started the entire franchise, with it even being his StarMakingRole. |
| 145 | ** The ''Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon'' is acknowledged to exist in the Series/{{Arrowverse}}. His actor voices the father of Franchise/DisneyPrincess [[WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}} Rapunzel]]. |
| 146 | ** The ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'' is acknowledged to exist in the Series/{{Arrowverse}}. His actor plays Colonel Schoonover / The Blacksmith in the second season of ''Series/{{Daredevil|2015}}'', as well as voicing Surtur in ''Film/ThorRagnarok''. |
| 147 | ** PlayedWith on a late season 3 episode of ''Supergirl''. Winn made ''Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet'' reference, and Brown co-starred in it with Creator/KatieCassidy (Dinah Laurel Lance), who played the DecoyProtagonist, in [[Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet2010 the 2010 remake]]. However, there is yet a Earth-38 Eiling or Laurel to appear and the film franchise is yet to be mentioned on the Earth-1 shows. |
| 148 | * ColdBloodedTorture: Uses this to try to get information on Project Firestorm from Professor Stein. |
| 149 | * CrazyPrepared: He's quick to get to work making weapons for specific use against each metahuman. |
| 150 | * TheDeterminator: Thawne notes that once he has a target in sight, he doesn't let up. |
| 151 | * EnemyMine: Acknowledges being in this with Barry as of ''Grodd Lives'' |
| 152 | * EvilOldFolks: Downplayed on the "old" part, since Creator/ClancyBrown was only fifty-six when shooting. He wants to use meta-humans as living weapons, throwing the ethics and morality of such things to the wind. |
| 153 | * FantasticRacism: He really hates metahumans. However, he calls Barry "[[YouAreACreditToYourRace one of the good ones]]" after he is saved from Grodd. |
| 154 | * FourStarBadass: He manages to prove quite a dangerous gunman in "Grodd Lives", taking out some armed guards and at least one SWAT member. |
| 155 | * GeneralRipper: It ''is'' Wade Eiling we're talking about. |
| 156 | * IfIWantedYouDead: Is aware of the Flash's SecretIdentity and says that if he wanted to come after him, he would've already done it. |
| 157 | * {{Jerkass}}: He's rude to everyone, though a little less to Thawne, mostly due to being wary of him. |
| 158 | * JerkassHasAPoint: The rationalization Eiling gives for the extreme measures he's taking is frighteningly solid: in a few years the USA went from fearing terrorists crashing hijacked airliners into major cities, to super-powered metahumans who can ''set off nuclear explosions with their minds''. America and the US military are [[MilitariesAreUseless hopelessly, hilariously outgunned]] against existential threats to our very survival, like the Reverse-Flash. |
| 159 | * KarmaHoudini: Despite all of his blatantly illegal actions, he's still able to main his rank in the army. |
| 160 | ** He's eventually freed from Grodd's mind control, though Barry tells him he'll eventually have to pay for his crimes. |
| 161 | * LaserGuidedKarma: He used to torture Grodd with a cattle prod back when he was at STAR Labs. Grodd remembers all too well. When Thawne brings Eiling to him, Grodd is very eager for revenge. |
| 162 | * LongBusTrip: Wade Eiling hasn't returned since Season 1 of ''The Flash''. |
| 163 | * MysteriousPast: It has yet to be fully expanded on, but Thawne claims that Eiling has a history of doing less-than-ethical things that involve science experiments for the purpose of human super soldiers. |
| 164 | * OneManArmy: Mind controlled or not, if Eiling has a WalkingArsenal at his disposal, he will USE all of it effectively. |
| 165 | * PragmaticVillainy: He distrusts meta-humans but he's content to leave Barry alone because they have a "common enemy". |
| 166 | * PutOnABus: He leaves Team Flash alone after season 1 and hasn't appeared since. |
| 167 | * RoguesGalleryTransplant: In the comics he's the nemesis to Captain Atom. |
| 168 | * ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: He's a powerful army general who's willing to bend and outright break rules and laws to get what he wants. |
| 169 | * SecretSecretKeeper: Has apparently been aware that Barry is the Flash for some time. After being rescued from Grodd, he admits this to Barry that he's known for months and becomes a standard SecretKeeper. |
| 170 | * SpearCounterpart: To [[Series/{{Arrow}} Amanda Waller]], more or less. Both are high ranking government employees who do extremely immoral and illegal things that they claim are for the greater good of the world, and have an uneasy truce/relationship with the heroes. |
| 171 | * UnwittingPawn: It is implied that Thawne gave him Martin Stein to force Ronnie and Stein to re-merge, for an as-of-yet unknown reason. [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness Thawne sics Grodd on Eiling once this is done]]. And then he moves to BrainwashedAndCrazy. |
| 172 | * UncertainDoom: Is dragged off by Grodd... and it turns out, he's not dead. |
| 173 | * VillainsNeverLie: Promises to never reveal Barry's superhero identity due to having a common enemy in Grodd and the Reverse-Flash. |
| 174 | * VisionaryVillain: How he justifies using meta-humans as super soldiers. |
| 175 | * YouHaveOutLivedYourUsefulness: Pulls this on Bette San Souci and tries to on Firestorm -- twice. Thus it's pretty karmic that Thawne disposes of him once he is no longer useful to his plans, though he survives. |

| 190 | * AmbiguousSituation: It's unclear which branch of the military he served. [[spoiler:Turns out it's the army, since his funeral shows him wearing an army officer uniform that is fitted with a one star insignia, indicating that he was posthumously promoted to TheBrigadier.]] |
| 191 | * ArbitrarySkepticism: He believes in TimeTravel, metahumans, telepathic gorillas... but not in magic. |
| 192 | * TheBrigadier: [[spoiler:Posthumously promoted to this rank after his death at Neron's hands.]] |
| 193 | * CelebrityParadox: The ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'' films has been mentioned several times throughout the Series/{{Arrowverse}}. His ([[TimeShiftedActor older]]) actor played a major antagonist there. |
| 194 | * DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler:Neron reached out to him to capture the Fugitives and use them for his plan to spread fear across the world and amass the power from it. Although Hank had more benign ideas in mind for the creatures.]] |
| 195 | * DisappearedDad: Henry was recruited by Rip so he wasn't there to witness Hank's life. Hank himself became detached to Nate. |
| 196 | * EarlyBirdCameo: Nate and meet him as a teenager in TheSeventies, long before his appearance in ThePresentDay. |
| 197 | * TheGhost: He's been mentioned by Nate quite a few times before meeting him as a teenager, before finally appearing in ThePresentDay. |
| 198 | * GoodAllAlong: [[spoiler:While he went about it in a very shady fashion (i.e, embezzling funds from the Time Bureau, hiring people of questionable character to transport the creatures, and working with Neron), he didn't want to enslave the magical creatures for the reasons Neron wanted him to; he wanted to use them to build a theme park for his son.]] |
| 199 | * IdiotBall: [[spoiler:He made a deal with a literal demon. He really should have known Neron would have turned on him at the first chance he had.]] |
| 200 | * ItRunsInTheFamily: He's a second generation military man. |
| 201 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's not exactly easy to get along with and can be a pain towards everyone, not just his own son. However, he's undoubtedly a good person at heart. |
| 202 | * JockDadNerdSon: He's a career military man while Nate is an intellectual. |
| 203 | * MilitaryBrat: PlayedWith. His father was a legendary soldier, but he didn't grew up with him around. |
| 204 | * NeverGotToSayGoodbye: He arrives at the scene minutes before his father performs a HeroicSacrifice. |
| 205 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Despite his stern attitude, he gets sucked into the Legends zaniness several times. |
| 206 | * ParentsAsPeople: He's very aloof towards his son, believing he should have gotten a useful degree to get a "real job". However, he still cares for him on some level. [[spoiler:The revelation of him wanting to create a park Nate came up with as a child cements this.]] |
| 207 | * RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler: Gets killed by Neron after trying to sever his connection to him.]] |
| 208 | * SoProudOfYou: When he learns that Nate is a superhero, he didn't hold back saying how proud he is to his son. |

| 240 | ---- |
| 241 | * AdaptationDyeJob: Most comic versions of Lucy Lane have blond hair. Here she has dark brown hair. |
| 242 | * AdaptationalBadass: This version's a Harvard-educated major in the US Army JAG Corps and more than capable of being badass. |
| 243 | * AdaptationalHeroism: The comic book version of Lucy (to make a long story short) is DaddysLittleVillain and the General's personal [[TheDragon Dragon]]. This version, even when she begins the season distrusting Kara, still gives her dad a WhatTheHellHero moment when ''his'' hostility goes too far, and become a more relied on (and reliable) ally as the season goes on. |
| 244 | * AlliterativeFamily: With her sister '''L'''ois. |
| 245 | * AlliterativeName: Like her sister, one of the many L.L. who litters the [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Superman mythos]]. |
| 246 | * AloofDarkHairedGirl: Has an IceQueen demeanor while in uniform. |
| 247 | * AndStarring: Is credited with a "Special Guest Star" citation. |
| 248 | * BettyAndVeronica: While seen by Kara as the Veronica in the Kara-James-Lucy love triangle, Lucy sees herself as the Betty in the same love triangle and Supergirl as the Veronica. Granted she didn't know that Kara was Supergirl at the time. |
| 249 | * BirdsOfAFeather: She and James are both {{Military Brat}}s. |
| 250 | * BrainyBrunette: She has dark brown hair and is a whip-smart lawyer with a JD/MBA dual degree from Harvard. |
| 251 | * CelebrityParadox: Kara mentions that she's a fan of Music/{{NSYNC}}. Her actress was previously a backup dancer of the group ([[Music/JustinTimberlake and later its most popular member]]). |
| 252 | * CharacterDevelopment: After Supergirl saved her and her dad, her attitude towards Supergirl changed. And she chose to stay in National City to help in her own way. |
| 253 | * ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Lucy disappears between Seasons 1 and 2 with no explanation offered and no dialogue references made to her at all to explain her absence. |
| 254 | * DisproportionateRetribution: At first she resists helping Supergirl save Alex and J'onn from being sent off to a lab where she knows they'll get carved up like Christmas turkeys (and which she personally helped send them to) because she personally hates lies and deception, and J'onn and Alex lied by covering up his secret identity as an alien. Thankfully, Supergirl talks her out of this. |
| 255 | * EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Kara expresses this opinion about her shortly after meeting her. |
| 256 | * GoodLookingPrivates: She cuts an even more impressive figure when in uniform. |
| 257 | * HazyFeelTurn: While never the big antagonist many of those she's worked for, like her father, have an open hostility to ''all'' aliens. Lucy has shown a few times she doesn't really share that sentiment, so it's no surprise when in episode 18 after Kara reveals her secret that she is convinced to help her. |
| 258 | * HelloAttorney: She's a military lawyer working for the Judge Advocate General's Corps. She also happens to be extremely hot. |
| 259 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: When she was LockedOutOfTheLoop, Lucy would voice her ill opinion of Supergirl to Kara's face. |
| 260 | * MajorlyAwesome: She's more cooperative to Kara compared to her father and has been the only positively portrayed member of the U.S. Military on Earth-38 to date[[note]]Col. Hayley was a hard-ass ally for much of her introductory season, while James' father and sister are respectively KIA and retired when introduced[[/note]]. |
| 261 | * MilitaryBrat: She's the daughter of a General, per the norm. |
| 262 | * RenaissanceMan: She's been a lawyer, an army major, a general counsel at a renowned media conglomerate, then a major again, and acting director of the DEO. |
| 263 | * RetGone: While Lucy returns post-crisis with her actress intact, that version is essentially a new character. |
| 264 | * ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Despite feeling deceived by both Supergirl and J'onn, she helps Supergirl free J'onn and Alex from military custody, knowing the horrible fate that awaited them at Project Cadmus otherwise. |
| 265 | * SecretKeeper: Kara eventually reveals that she is Supergirl to Lucy. |
| 266 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Never mentioned in ''Supergirl'' Season 2. |
| 267 | * WhyDoYouKeepChangingJobs: Starts off as an Army JAG officer, resigns and becomes a Catco Legal consultant, then quits and becomes a JAG officer, then after helping Supergirl ends up as the director of the DEO with J'onn and Alex on the run. |
| 268 | * YouAreInCommandNow: After she helps J'onn and Alex escape from the military, J'onn makes sure a human he trusts is set up as the next director of the DEO. |

| 339 | A former war veteran who was exposed to large amounts of shrapnel while she was trying to defuse a bomb. As she was being deported to Central City, the particle accelerator explosion instilled her with the ability to make things explode by touching them. |
| 340 | |
| 341 | -> see Characters/SmallvilleGovernment to see the Earth-167 character who bears her name and background |
| 342 | ---- |
| 343 | * ActionGirl: She ''is'' a soldier, so that's a given. |
| 344 | * AdaptationalHeroism: In the comics, Plastique was a villain of ComicBook/CaptainAtom and a convicted terrorist before making a HeelFaceTurn. Bette here is portrayed as, at worst, an AntiVillain who fears her powers and wants to get rid of them. The worst thing she does is attempt to kill General Eiling, a KnightTemplar who would come after any and all meta-humans to turn them into weapons for the Army, and had to be convinced into doing so by Thawne. |
| 345 | * AdaptationalNationality: Bette is Canadian in the comics but appears to be American in the show. |
| 346 | * AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: Kelly Frye ''really'' looks like [[http://lestoilesheroiques.fr/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/the-flash-plastique-kelly.jpg the comic character]]. |
| 347 | * BadPowersGoodPeople: She is a good person, but has very deadly powers. |
| 348 | * BlessedWithSuck: Bette causes whatever she touches to blow up. Just so we're clear, she can't take the risk of touching ''anyone'' for the rest of her life. |
| 349 | * CareerEndingInjury: Her military career came into a scratching halt after a bombing accident in Afghanistan. |
| 350 | * CantHaveSexEver: Bette can't even do slightly romantic things with any person, so it's safe to assume this. |
| 351 | * ContinuityCameo: Bette's only contact is listed as Cameron Scott, who is only mentioned by name. In the comics, Cameron Scott was ComicBook/CaptainAtom, Plastique's husband. |
| 352 | * DecompositeCharacter: Her role as the ComicBook/SuicideSquad's DemolitionsExpert is given to Shrapnel over on ''Series/{{Arrow}}''. |
| 353 | * FieryRedhead: [[HavingABlast Literally speaking, anyway]]. Her temperament is more melancholic. |
| 354 | * GoodLookingPrivates: Her rank is actually (Army) Sergeant, but she is good-looking nonetheless and a StatuesqueStunner to boot. |
| 355 | * HavingABlast: Able to turn objects into explosive devices with a touch. |
| 356 | * IronicName: Her last name is a French phrase meaning 'without worry'. If ''anyone'' had reason to worry, it would be Bette! |
| 357 | * IJustWantToBeNormal: With her [[BlessedWithSuck powers]], it's not hard to see why. |
| 358 | * MilitarySuperhero: Subverted. She's a former Army Sergeant and is the first good metahuman introduced after Barry (Cisco's powers are still sleeping when Team Flash meets her) but was killed before she even had a chance to become a hero like Barry. |
| 359 | * MythologyGag: This wasn't the [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague first time Plastique was killed by a former ally.]] |
| 360 | * NoBodyLeftBehind: Her body exploded after her death. |
| 361 | * PurpleIsPowerful: She wears a violet tanktop underneath her jacket, alluding to her comic counterpart's costume. Anything she touches also glows purple as a sign its about to explode. |
| 362 | * RaceLift: More of an ethnicity/nationality lift, but in the comics, Bette is a Francophone Quebecoise, whereas here she is an Anglophone American. Her last name is the same, though, strongly implying she is still of French ancestry. |
| 363 | * RoguesGalleryTransplant: Plastique is normally a foe/love interest of Captain Atom. |
| 364 | * StatuesqueStunner: She's 5'8 and a very good looking woman. Cisco stops being angry with her for accidentally destroying Barry's suit when he sees her appearance. |
| 365 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: Probably the most high-profile minor character to get this so far, since viewers may remember her from ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Unlimited'' and ''Series/{{Smallville}}''. Gets shot by Eiling and her body blows up in her debut episode. |
| 366 | * WhyAmITicking: Though she wouldn't know, since she died beforehand. Her entire body turned explosive after she was killed and Barry had to take her out of the city and into the lake/ocean to contain the massive explosion. |

| 443 | * OneSteveLimit: With Roy Harper and Roy G. Bivolo. |
| 444 | * ParentsAsPeople: He loves John like his own son, but his method of treating him like a recruit and not a son was by no means perfect.

| 468 | * RelatedInTheAdaptation: An interesting example. In the comics, he and Roy Harper are relatives.

| 482 | |
| 483 | A United States Marine Corps officer who was appointed by President Baker to oversee the D.E.O.. |
| 484 | ---- |
| 485 | * AdaptationDyeJob: Blonde in the comic books. |
| 486 | * AdaptationalJobChange: Her military branch was charged to Marine Corps in the show as opposed to Air Force like in the comics. |
| 487 | * BadBoss: She subjects her D.E.O. subordinates to brutal interrogation to try and uncover Supergirl's identity, eventually resorting to using a telepathic alien creature to force them to be absolutely truthful. |
| 488 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: Haley initially seems like a ReasonableAuthorityFigure, albeit rather zealous. At the end of her introduction episode, however, she makes it clear that she has no respect for J'onn, demonstrates FantasticRacism, and becomes quite cold towards Alex when she expresses her own fondness for J'onn. "Suspicious Minds" flat out shatters whatever facade of decency she had; in the past she oversaw the torture of two Morae so they'd become the perfect government assassin. Later, she finds out Kara's secret and tries to blackmail her into a similar situation. |
| 489 | * BlackBossLady: And not a positive example. |
| 490 | * ByTheBookCop: Negative example. Haley insists that Alex should strictly follow the chain of command, even demanding salutes. |
| 491 | * CharacterDevelopment: Her hostility towards aliens and BadBoss tendencies lessen over time as President Baker's erratic decisions like launching an illegal KillSat behind the D.E.O.'s back and appointing Lockwood, Director of Alien Affairs deeply unnerve her and her priorities focus more to keeping the general populace -- humans ''and'' aliens save from harm and to prevent bloodshed. |
| 492 | * ControlFreak: Haley is quick to fear anything she (and by extension, the government, military, or the D.E.O.) doesn't control. When Supergirl becomes a free agent, Haley quickly comes to assume, against all rationality, that she is a threat to D.E.O. operations, believes that the President was wrong to dismiss her without a "contingency plan", and sets out to uncover her identity by any means necessary so as to get her back under the D.E.O.'s authority. When she actually does find out, Haley's response is to make it clear that if Kara refuses to follow her orders to the letter and down to the second, Haley will expose her identity and leave all of Kara's loved ones to the mercy of her enemies. |
| 493 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She has a daughter whom she cares for very much, even leaving a conference early to help with a school project. |
| 494 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Hostile to aliens, she may be but she is a law-obeying soldier. To wit: |
| 495 | ** Despite her own xenophobia regarding aliens, she's disgusted by the Children of Liberty and is very unnerved by the cult of personality trying to make a martyr out of Ben Lockwood. |
| 496 | ** She's also disturbed by President Baker blatantly violating protocol by backing a secret satellite to destroy any alien aircraft behind her and the D.E.O.'s backs. |
| 497 | ** In "Stand and Delivered" she orders Brainy to lead security for the aliens and alien activists marching against Lockwood to ensure their own safety from any violence that will inevitably breakout. |
| 498 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: |
| 499 | ** Haley assumes that the only reason that Supergirl would keep intervening in alien threats is to give the D.E.O. grief for no reason, instead of recognising her as a hero. FantasticRacism is an element in this assumption (Supergirl being a powerful alien that Haley can't control rankles her beyond belief), but it still shows a surprising inability to grasp why Supergirl does what she does. |
| 500 | ** She is absolutely baffled as to why Alex sees aliens as sentient beings worthy of compassion and respect, instead of nonhuman creatures to be tortured, conditioned or blackmailed into being [[LivingWeapon Living Weapons]]. |
| 501 | * EvilIsPetty: After hearing that Alex is fond of and loyal to J'onn, Haley starts demanding the the D.E.O. Director salute her. |
| 502 | * {{Expy}}: She is very similar to Amanda Waller. |
| 503 | * FantasticRacism: She has no respect for J'onn as the director of the D.E.O., viewing his leadership as perverting its mission (she thinks the organization should capture aliens, rather than work with them). She only tolerates working with Supergirl because she sees her as a LivingWeapon, nothing else. This takes a darker turn when we find out that she oversaw the torture of baby Morae so they'd grow up to be the perfect assassins. She later tries to blackmail Supergirl into a similar situation, but it doesn't come to pass. But over the course of the season she's seen slowly growing out of the mindset, especially after seeing Baker and Lockwood abuse their power against aliens; the fact her daughter's favorite teacher is an alien too also helps. |
| 504 | * HeelFaceTurn: Over the course of the series, she eventually softens up for good, culminating in her helping Alex and Kara against the corrupt government and giving a speech of gratitude towards Supergirl at the end of the season. |
| 505 | * JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Despite her antagonistic demeanor in her debut , she softened up just enough in subsequent episodes just enough to make it seemed like she wasn't that bad only for "Suspicious Minds" to clarify that she is just as xenophobic, paranoid, power hungry as she was when she was introduced, far more in fact than what the audience was initially led to believe. This gets eventually {{subverted}}. |
| 506 | * KnightTemplar: She is willing to trigger an explosion that would kill dozens of innocent people rather than leave a Parasite-empowered Jensen on the loose. |
| 507 | * LackOfEmpathy: For aliens, especially, but she has shown some signs of this where human lives are concerned as well, being willing to kill dozens of civilians to take out Jensen (although she at least claims to be glad that Alex managed to talk him down before this became necessary), and using Supergirl's secret identity in an attempt to blackmail her into submitting to Haley's absolute authority, threatening to leave Kara's friends and family to the mercy of Supergirl's many enemies if she refuses to comply. Haley's memory of the information is erased before she can follow through on this threat, but it's still an unsettling look at how little value Haley places on life compared to satisfying her own need for control over an alien. |
| 508 | * LaserGuidedAmnesia: She learns Supergirl's identity and tries to blackmail into military service going so far as to threaten her friends and familiy if she doesn't comply. Luckily J'onn erases this from her mind. |
| 509 | * MoralMyopia: In Haley's eyes, aliens are not human, and therefore, they don't and shouldn't get the same treatment as human beings. This mindset allows her to feel fine with ordering intelligent aliens to be killed without mercy and abusing alien children into becoming {{Living Weapon}}s for the government. |
| 510 | * PoliticalOfficer: She's sent to oversee the D.E.O after Alex disobeys a direct order from the President. Alex is still technically Director, but every decision she makes has to be rubber-stamped by Haley first. |
| 511 | * RaceLift: Caucasian in the comic books. |
| 512 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: After her first, negative impression, it seems like she will be heading down this route, as she actually acknowledges that her judgment of the Children of Liberty was false and silently compliments Alex for her disobedience. Later, subverted when she tries to blackmail Supergirl to be her personal LivingWeapon threatening her friends and families to do so; J'onn wipes her mind before that can happen. |
| 513 | * TyrantTakesTheHelm: Doesn't seem like it at first, but it later becomes clear that she will run a tight regiment, enforcing her twisted definition of order at all costs. The idea of Supergirl working of her own initiative instead of under her own direct supervision, drives her absolutely crazy. |
| 514 | * UngratefulBastard: Supergirl saves her from being killed by a Morae, whom she personally tortured as a child. Haley then reveals she knows her secret, tells her her life as Kara Danvers is over and tries to blackmail her into military service, even threatening her friends and family's safety if she refuses to comply. |
| 515 | * WouldHurtAChild: Shamelessly took part in the government's policy of using trauma to condition and control tender-age aliens. Haley "[[MoralMyopia justifies]]" this by pointing out that the victims of her abuse [[FantasticRacism aren't human]]. |
