6!!Tropes For The Characters As A (Near) Whole:
7
8* AdaptationalBadass: Many of the characters either take a whole new level in badass or adapt the badassery that they already have for the insanity that surrounds them.
9* CompositeCharacter: Many of them borrow elements from either [[PatchworkFic various canonical interpretations of themselves, from canon and fanon interpretations of themselves]], or [[FusionFic from themselves and characters from other fictional sources]].
10* DeadpanSnarker: Many of them have their moments-[[GentlemanSnarker even the most mild-mannered ones]].
11* HadToBeSharp: As many of them see it, they are on a WorldGoneMad and [[WorldOfBadass full of badasses]]-so they have to become more "awesome" to compensate, roll with the punches, as it is.
12* PopCulturedBadass: Actual name-checking of the Tropes that are happening is something various characters do (see for example "Legends Of The Fourth Of July"). Some mention having spent time on Website/TVTropes or catching up on various stories as research.
13* SeenItAll: Various stories, such as the ones of Nescaro, [=OrionPax09=], and [=Gideon020=], have the characters become kind-of-jaded at the rampaging crazy of the world.

71* FanOfThePast: Amir is a bit of a nut for 80s pop culture.

74%%A Cuban-American Inhuman from Orlando, Florida. Andy is a crystal-spinner with a love of fantasy.

78----
79* AscendedExtra: Jennifer is based on the [[https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Jennifer_Swensen_(Earth-148611) character]] from [[ComicBook/TheNewUniverse The New Universe]].

Was revealed to have actually [[spoiler: have been brought forward in time by a supervillain]], and then joined Aegis. Emerged in the Core Timeline afterwards. He's jumped quite a few worlds.
92* TraumaButton: Hal's girlfriend Inertia died in front of him trying to save Earth-712 in ''Squadron Supreme: Death of a Universe''. Hal never truly got over it, leading him to try and attack Death in ''Avengers: Celestial Quest''. He's made attempts to deal with it more positively since then, but it's still a bit of a sore spot for him. Being in the Coreline means he can run into alts of Inertia, which he did once, and it freaked him out.
93
94!!'''Allies of Aegis'''

96These are characters that aren't officially members of the Aegis Organization, but Aegis can call on them when needed.

106----

118[[/folder]]
119
120[[folder:The Joker R Gang]]
121!!'''THE JOKER R GANG:'''
122
123One of the many criminal groups operating out of Chicago, the Joker R gang is a frequent thorn in the side of hero groups including the Champions and the Avengers, bringing a unique brand of chaos to the Windy City.
124
125'''Tropes For The Joker R Gang As A Whole:'''
126
127* ForTheEvulz: The Joker R Gang is known to spread chaos and destruction, simply because they think it's fun.
128* MonsterClown: A lot of them have this motif, as they follow an alt of The Joker himself.
129
130The Joker R Gang's roster includes:
131
132!!'''Ranma Saotome/Joker R'''
133Alternate version of [[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Ranma Saotome]], who was transformed at some point into an amalgam of ComicBook/TheJoker. Very nearly as crazy as the actual Joker, he does his best to do his worst to the people of Chicago.
134----
135* ALighterShadeOfBlack: Isn't ''quite'' as crazy as a lot of Jokers are. Not that that's saying much mind you, but he still cares for his girlfriend and gang.
136* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He genuinely cares for his girlfriend and gang.
137* EvenEvilHasStandards: When a brawl with the Champions burst into the lair of an Amy Hardstone alt that was raping a guy to death, he expresses his distaste before killing her. Stealing from a telethon that is meant to help pay for the construction of a children's hospital terminal patients wing is also too low even for him (as he puts it, there is nothing funny nor artistic about it ("like trying to do an [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MST]] of ''Film/OldYeller''"), [[PragmaticVillainy not to mention that it's the kind of excessive cruelty that triggers the "unfunny", "scorched-earth", "kill-on-sight" kind of manhunts]]).
138* MonsterClown: Goes with the role of [[Characters/BatmanTheJoker The Joker]].
139%%* NightmareFetishist:
140* OutlawCouple: With his girlfriend Hikari/Bane.
141* VillainousFriendship: With his gang, specifically Shampoo.
142* WorthyOpponent: Like other versions of The Joker, he sees Batman (or any other member of the Bat-Family) as one... to the point he is actively seeking to get one of them as an ArchEnemy and is actually disappointed when the hero (or heroes) that responds to his attacks is not a Bat (witness the first chapter of ''Legends Of The Fourth Of July'').
143* YearningForANemesis: Like all Joker's he obsesses over having Batman for an arch enemy.
144
145!!'''Hikari Horaki/Bane'''
146Alternate version of [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Hikari Horaki]], who was at some point transformed into a version of Bane. Is Joker R's girlfriend.
147----
148* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She loves her boss and boyfriend Joker R.
149* GirlishPigtails: Still has them, even if they are rather incongruent on her ''massively muscled, Venom-injected, Luchador mask-wearing'' body.
150* OutlawCouple: With Ranma/Joker R.
151
152!!'''Shampoo/Harley Quinn'''
153Alternate version of [[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Shampoo]] who has taken on the role of Comicbook/HarleyQuinn. Is fiercely devoted to Joker R.
154----
155* MadLove: Like... well... many Harleys to their "Mr. Js", actually. At least she loves Ranma enough (and Hikari) to not [[MurderTheHypotenuse have any funny ideas about what to do to one part]] of this apparent LoveTriangle.
156* MeaningfulName: Averted. Unlike Dr. Quinzel, "Harley Quinn" is her NomDeGuerre, not her ''actual'' name.
157* SexyJester: Of course, she's Harley Quinn after all.
158
159!!'''Rei Ayanami/Killer Croc'''
160Alternate version of [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Rei Ayanami]], one who was mutated at an early stage into Killer Croc.
161----
162* FlawedPrototype: Her mutations caused Gendo to view her as a failure.
163* HumanoidAbomination: A mild example. Long story short, her appearance is the result of the typical Rei cloning process somehow GoneHorriblyWrong (very, ''very'' horribly wrong).
164* IAmAHumanitarian: Is rumored to have eaten the Gendo Ikari of her world.
165* TheNoseKnows: As a result of being a humanoid crocodile, she has heightened sense of smell.
166
167!!'''Asuka Langley Sohryu/Venom'''
168Alternate version of [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Asuka Langley Sohryu]], who was bonded with the remains of the 13th Angel to become Venom.
169----
170* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Spiders, being a Venom after all.
171* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: The Venom Symbiote is what gives her her superhuman abilities. Furthermore, the fact that it's an Angel provides ''it'' with abilities that other versions of the Venom Symbiote do not have.
172* EvilRedhead: She is a ''cannibal'' and Venom, for starters.
173%%* FieryRedhead:
174* IAmAHumanitarian: While she can normally control her symbiote's hunger for living flesh, if she hasn't been able to feed in some time, she becomes increasingly uncontrollable.
175* LovecraftianSuperpower / ShapeshifterWeapon: As expected of a version of Venom, she can use her limb as weapons.
176* NightmareFace: The symbiote occasionally gives Asuka things that she ''shouldn't'' have, such as MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily.
177* OutsideContextProblem: The fact that her Symbiote is an ''Angel'' instead of one of Venom's race (and thus capable of generating A.T. Fields with a little technological aid) catches the Avengers Infinity unaware and nearly destroys the organization in ''Legends Of The Fourth Of July''. It took the help of Commander Misato Saotome, Mari "Captain America" Makinami and Maria "Thunderstrike" Vincennes (who came from ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' universes and thus had knowledge of the Angels' weaknesses) to get BackFromTheBrink.
178* VerbalTic: Referring to herself as "[[RoyalWe we/us]]", as well as SnakeTalk.
179
180!!'''Shinji Ikari/Clayface'''
181Alternate version of [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji Ikari]] who was mutated into a version of Clayface.
182----
183* JailBake: Is considered a master of this, having graduated with full honors from the [[Franchise/DuckTales Ma Beagle]] College of Criminal Culinary Arts.
184* SoftSpokenSadist: Remains pretty stuttery and shy-sounding. Is a criminal with a tremendous body count (be it himself or through FelonyMurder).
185* TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse: The fact that his looks (when morphed back to his Shinji Ikari self) are plain in the "gets lost in a crowd" sense is lampshaded on "''A Tale Of Two Maris''".
186
187!!'''Katsuhiko Jinnai/Scarecrow'''
188Alternate version of [[Anime/ElHazardTheMagnificentWorld Katsuhiko Jinnai]] who was taken on the role of Scarecrow.
189----
190* AnnoyingLaugh: He still has it from canon. The fact that ''not even his allies and lover'' like it is lampshaded a few times.
191* BadassBookworm: Effectiveness in a fight aside, he ''do'' has considerable knowledge in chemistry and how the human mind reacts to it.
192* IKnowWhatYouFear: His main gimmick.
193* IronButtMonkey: Is highly prone towards winding up taking physical punishment that is equal parts lethal and humiliating. And just keeps walking it off.
194* OutlawCouple: With Nao Yuuki/Yellow Lantern.
195* ScaryScarecrows: With some fear gas sprayed in advance, he is this. Unfortunately, his record against heroes (so far) has been bad enough that this is (at best) a SubvertedTrope.
196
197!!'''Nao Yuuki/Yellow Lantern'''
198Alternate version of [[Anime/MyHime Nao Yuuki]] who wields a Sinestro Corps ring.
199----
200* EvilRedhead: She's a ''Sinestro Corps'' member-that is pretty evil.
201* EyeScream: Still has the missing eye of her anime version. [[MundaneUtility Her eyepatch is a construct done by her Ring]].
202* FemmeFatalons: Her regular combat construct (aside from everything else she makes) is a replica of the [=HiME=] claws she uses in canon.
203* ImaginationBasedSuperpower: Courtesy of her Sinestro Corps ring.
204* RingOfPower: The Yellow Ring in this case.
205* OutlawCouple: With Katsuhiko Jinnai/Scarecrow.
206

208
209[[folder:The Golden Four]]
210!!'''THE GOLDEN FOUR:'''
211
212A criminal group that specializes in the manufacture and distribution of illegal drugs in Chicago.
213
214'''Tropes For The Golden Four As A Whole:'''
215
216* BreakingTheFellowship: [[spoiler:Apparently had a falling out after the events in ''Legends of the Fourth of July'', with Bullseye and Chrushette joining the Joker R gang.]]
217
218The Golden Four's roster includes:
219
220!!'''Goldie Musou'''
221Alternate version of [[Manga/GunsmithCats Goldie Musou]] who is renowned as Chicago's chief drug lord. Has a wide variety of telepathic and telekinetic abilities.
222----
223* AdaptationalBadass: She has telekinetic powers and is physically stronger than in canon.
224* AdaptationalCurves: She is noted to have bulked up to avoid the SquishyWizard trope a lot of telepaths face.
225* CaughtMonologuing: Cap Mari tricks her into monologuing so a compound she put into Clayface Shinji will activate and free her.
226* DepravedHomosexual: She's a lesbian that brainwashes women to be in her harem.
227* MindControl: She possesses the mind control drugs she had in her home series and even has mind control powers here. She teamed up with Joker R to try and get all of Chicago under her control.
228* MindRape: Brainwashed several women to be her sex slaves.
229* PowerPerversionPotential: She mainly uses her powers to brainwash women into harem members.
230* PsychicPowers: She has telepathy, telekinesis and naturally... mind control.
231* PsychoLesbian: Oh, good lord...
232
233!!'''Natasha Radinov'''
234Alternate version of [[Manga/GunsmithCats Natasha Radinov]] and a member of the Golden Four. A gamma mutant who is kept under tight control at all times.
235----
236* DumbMuscle: Managed to fry her own brains by overdosing on gammaroids.
237
238!!'''Irene "Rally" Vincent/Bullseye'''
239Alternate version of [[Manga/GunsmithCats Rally Vincent]] and a member of the Golden Four. Has taken up the name of Bullseye.
240----
241%%* AdaptationalVillainy:
242* ImprobableAimingSkills: The main reason for her nickname, she doesn't miss.
243* TattooedCrook: Like the film version of Bullseye, Rally has a bullseye carved on her forehead.
244
245!!'''May "Crushette" Hopkins'''
246Alternate version of [[Manga/GunsmithCats May Hopkins]] and a gamma-mutated member of the Golden Four.
247----
248%%* AdaptationalVillainy:
249* CuteBruiser: She would ''like'' to present herself as this... if she wasn't a homicidal criminal, she probably would be (in Hulk terms of height, she is TheRuntAtTheEnd, for example).
250
251[[/folder]]
252
253[[folder:Nightstone Enterprises]]
254!!'''NIGHTSTONE ENTERPRISES'''
255----
256
257A [[MegaCorp Mega-Corporation]] that maintains a veneer of kindness and compassion, but is ultimately corrupt to its very core. Developing weapons and technology for whoever will meet their price, Nightstone Enterprises is a willing ally to the greedy, the selfish, and the powerful. Run by Alexander Sotanax, aka [[WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}} Thailog]], and backer of the Vanguard and the Nightstone Defense Corps, it is a power to be reckoned with in the Core Timeline and a major reason why so many villains, corrupt politicians, and more stay in power.
258----
259'''Tropes For Nightstone Enterprises As A Whole'''
260
261* BrainwashedAndCrazy: The majority of the Nightstone Defense Corps are people that the Vanguard have kidnapped and "re-educated" (ie brainwashed and forcibly augmented with various mutagens and super serums) into an elite fighting force.
262* DeliberatelyBadExample: To heroic corporate groups like Wayne Enterprises and Stingray Industries, by WordOfGod.
263* EvenEvilHasStandards: They are the "evil" in any EvilVersusOblivion scenario because they don't see the benefit of total annihilation... of course, they are going to backstab everybody who gets near them and commit tremendous atrocities of their own while everybody else's busy fighting the "oblivion"-seeking bad guy.
264* HeroesRUs: ZigzaggedTrope. Officially, the Vanguard are superheroes, and even do heroic things here and there. But the Vanguard is made up entirely of disguised supervillains who would much rather be causing trouble than stopping it.
265* MegaCorp: Obviously. And a pretty vile example of it.
266* PrivateMilitaryContractors: Nightstone Defense Corps.
267* WeSellEverything: Including things that are ''highly'' illegal.
268
269!!'''Thailog/Alexander Sotanax'''
270An Alternate of [[WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}} Thailog]] who is the CEO of Nightstone Enterprises. He made a deal with Puck to become human during the day, and sees the world and everything in it as something to be exploited.
271----
272* BadBoss: ''Everyone'' that isn't Thailog is completely expendable in his mind.
273* CorruptCorporateExecutive: An uber example. Thailog has no morals, no compassion, no decency. The only thing that matters to him is his personal wealth, power, and pleasure.
274* EvilLaugh: Is very partial to this. Even gets depressed if he doesn't have the opportunity to indulge in one of these for a long period of time.
275* EvilSoundsDeep: Seeing as he's "voiced" by Keith David, that's a given.
276* FatalFlaw: An arrogant, TooCleverByHalf sumbitch. By ''Gargoyles''-verse standards, he won the SuperpowerLottery; he has a lot of monetary and political power, and he's the kind of MagnificentBastard that can be a threat with just one inch when other villains need a dozen miles. In a Fiction series written by Creator/GregWeisman, he would probably have "InvincibleVillain" written on mile-high neon letters. But the Core Timeline [[WrongGenreSavvy runs on]] [[MyRulesAreNotYourRules different rules]], and he's going to have to roll with ''[[VeryPunchableMan a lot]]'' of punches.
277* PainfulTransformation: Like Demona in canon, Thailog made a deal with Puck to become human during the day, and thus adopted the identity of Alexander Sotanax as his human identity. And just like Demona's transformation, it is very unpleasant.
278* SdrawkcabName: Not only is Thailog's own name a (sorta) reversal of his genetic "father", Goliath, but in creating his human identity of Alexander Sotanax, he reversed the last name of the man who bankrolled his creation; David Xanatos.
279* XanatosGambit: Has a special fondness for these, just like one of his "fathers".
280* WeHaveReserves: While the Vanguard is particularly useful and he's never eager to dispose of such valuable resources out of practicality, the members of the Nightstone Defense Corps are completely expendable in his mind. After all, he can always kidnap and "re-educate" more.
281
282%%!!'''Rei Ayanami'''
283%%A clone of [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Rei Ayanami]] that has been modified for combat purposes and programmed to be completely loyal to Thailog and Thailog alone. She serves as Thailog's personal assistant, and if the situation calls for it, bodyguard.
284
285!!'''Dr. Ludwig'''
286An alternate of [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 the Medic from Team Fortress 2]] that serves as the chief doctor for the Newark Branch of the Vanguard. While he is more than competent, nobody relishes the thought of going under his knife. And he much prefers experimenting on innocent victims than actually helping others.
287----
288* EvilerThanThou: So extreme that he was fired by Mann Co, with Saxton Hale himself declaring this alt of the Medic too extreme, even for them.
289
290[[/folder]]
291
292[[folder:The Vanguard]]
293!!'''THE VANGUARD:'''
294
295One the surface, the Vanguard might look like another prominent team of superheroes. But looks can be deceiving. The Vanguard is actually made up entirely of supervillains who disguise themselves as heroes in order to better exploit those around them.
296
297'''Tropes For The Vanguard As A Whole:'''
298
299* BigFancyCastle: The bases used by the Vanguard, the Citadels, greatly resemble modern versions of this Trope.
300* EvilHero: The entire Vanguard. Every. Last. One of them.
301* HateSink: Their very first story establishes the whole lot of them as a bunch of sociopathic bastards that would kill anything and anybody because they are in the way of some goal the Vanguard seeks, or because they were an annoyance that they wish to exterminate (regardless of how minor it truly was), or just for kicks, and lord it over anybody still standing afterwards. They get '''a hell''' of a lot worse on further appearances. WordOfGod was that they were an InvokedTrope.
302* KickTheDog: A favorite tactic of many Vanguard members.
303* SecondSuperIdentity: The overwhelming majority of the Vanguard have two super-identities; one for while they're pretending to be heroes, and the other for when they're being villains.
304
305The Vanguard's Newark Branch roster includes:
306
307!!'''Commander Ritsuko Akagi/Titania/She-Hulk'''
308Alternate version of [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Ritsuko Akagi]] who has the powers of Titania. She disguises herself as a She-Hulk when pretending to be a hero, and has devoted her scientific knowledge and considerable strength to bringing further misery to the ordinary citizens and heroes of New Jersey.
309----
310* AmazonianBeauty: In both her Titania and She-Hulk states, Ritsuko more than qualifies.
311* HugeHammerHead: Ritsuko wields a magitech hammer similar in design to the one Titania used in the Fear Itself event.
312* ForTheEvulz: Her choice of disguise. While out as Titania, she disguises herself as a Misato Katsuragi alt. Why? Because the Misato of her universe was a Hulk and Ritsuko's enemy, so she does this just to upset the Misato who's head of the Chicago Champions.
313
314!!'''Asuka Langley-Sohryu/Giganta/Amazonia'''
315Alternate version of [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Asuka Langley-Sohryu]], who has the powers of Giganta and then some. Uses the identity of Amazonia when pretending to be a hero.
316----
317* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The one and ''only'' thing that keeps Asuka from being totally irredeemable is that fact that she sincerely loves her girlfriend, Black Mari.
318* InLoveWithYourCarnage: She and Black Mari first had sex after leveling Tokyo-3.
319* SizeShifter: Comes with the whole Giganta package. She can also expand her muscles to be as large as she wants.
320* SoreLoser: Hates that she can't [[WillfullyWeak use all her powers]] in a fight, just to maintain appearances.
321* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:Destroys a whole children's hospital and murders Kiki, just to mess with the Avengers Infinity.]]
322
323!!'''Mari Illustrious Makinami/Black Mari/Captain Marvel'''
324Alternate version of [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Mari Illustrious Makinami]], who was blessed with the powers of Black Adam. She disguises herself as an alt of Captain Marvel to fool the average citizens and real heroes around her.
325----
326* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: "Shazam!"
327* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She genuinely loves her girlfriend Asuka.
328* InLoveWithYourCarnage: She just '''loves''' to watch Asuka go on a rampage and massacre people. The first time they had sex was after leveling Tokyo-3.
329* OtherMeAnnoysMe: Really doesn't like "good" versions of Mari Illustrious Makinami, feels like they give her a bad name.
330
331!!'''Shinji Ikari/Hyperion S/Superboy'''
332Alternate version of [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji Ikari]] with the powers of the Squadron Sinister's Hyperion. He disguises himself as Superboy in order to hide his evil actions.
333----
334* AttentionWhore: Unlike most Shinji Ikari alts, he laps up any and all attention given to him like a cat laps up milk.
335* TheBully: As Hyperion, he '''loves''' bullying and mistreating those weaker than him.
336* FlyingBrick: Comes with being a version of Hyperion.
337* TokenGoodTeammate: An ''extremely'' [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] example. After Nabiki cleaned out the life savings of an old woman, he admits to feeling bad for her...right before deciding to ''kill her'' and [[MercyKill put her out of her misery!]] Then again, that's positively saintly by comparison to the rest of his teammates.
338

371* AmazonianBeauty: She was one in her native universe, and has only gotten bigger since then.
372* FantasticDrug: In addition to Hustle, she now peddles Venom as well. She even wears a device that pumps the drug EX-Hussle into her body like the actual Bane does.
373* ForTheEvulz: Because of her hatred for the 3WA's Lovely Angels, Sandra's hero identity has her disguising as a more muscular version of Kei of the Literature/DirtyPair.

468!!'''THE LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT:'''
469
470In the in-between of The 23 Hours of Madness and the settings "current day", L.A. has sectioned itself off from the rest of the country and turned itself into a MegaCity. The L.A.P.D. has become something similar to The Judges, as well-highly trained, highly equipped, and vested with the capacity of "Zero Tolerance": if you are a criminal and do not heed their warnings, you will be killed, no ifs or buts about it.
471
472Even amongst the L.A.P.D., there are groups who are more secretive, such as the Special Investigations Unit, which is effectively the LAPD's [[TheMenInBlack Men in Black]]...
473
474'''Tropes of the LAPD''':
475
476* AllCrimesAreEqual: Implied with the "Zero Tolerance" mandate: criminals will be given a warning and allowed to surrender. If they ''don't''... JustifiedTrope because the time after The Vanishing had seen a rise in crime done by complete madmen with access to powers and heavy firepower-if they are not brought down ASAP, they ''will'' leave behind heavy collateral damage.
477* BadassArmy: One of the setting's nastiest. And the ''very first one introduced'', in chronological story order.
478* BadassLongcoat: The uniform of the S.I.U., a high-tech, heavily-armored coat exclusive for their officers (so exclusive that fallen officers are buried with their coats, and ''stealing'' said coats is an automatic ''death penalty'').
479* DepletedPhlebotinumShells: The "Pariah Rounds"-ammunition filled with a bio-toxin made with the "Pariah Gene"; a genetic anomaly that had appeared on many people after The Vanishing and which is an incredibly high-powered PowerNullifier.
480* {{Expy}}: Of the [[ComicBook/JudgeDredd Mega-City One Justice Department]], combined with [[Manga/{{Appleseed}} the Olympus E-SWAT]] and [[Manga/GhostInTheShell Public Security Section 9]]. Lampshaded InUniverse.
481* TookALevelInBadass: A ''massive'' one. They are officially designated as "police", but the firepower they pack is enough for a hard-core army (and that is without counting the ''actual'' city's army...).
482* TheMenInBlack: The "Special Investigations Unit". Rumors (and actual actions seen on the stories) include espionage and political manipulation, hunting down and assassinating people on other states (and countries), making plans for some kind of operation that may or may not involve ''declaring war on the rest of the United States''...
483
484!!Deunan Knute-Worth
485Alternate version of [[Manga/{{Appleseed}} Deunan Knute]] that appeared on the Core Timeline during "Operation: Payback" (the time where every able-bodied, lawful Angeleno grabbed a gun and performed ThePurge on any villainous Fiction they could find within L.A. limits), has since married an E.M.T. and became a Commander of the Los Angeles Police's Special Investigations Unit.
486----
487* BadassLongcoat: Her S.I.U. longcoat, since it's heavily armored and all.
488%%* BashBrothers: With Anko.
489%%* CommandingCoolness:
490* EyeScream: Like other versions of Deunan, she lost one of her eyes (this time during "Operation: Payback"), and wears a special eyepatch over it.
491* HappilyMarried: To an E.M.T.
492* HeroKiller: [[spoiler:She killed Brittany Digger as a form of MercyKill.]]
493%%* MadeOfIron:
494* MyCountryRightOrWrong: She is a pretty proud Angeleno, and it is this pride that drove her to fight on "Operation: Payback" with great temerity (she did ''not'' wanted to lose her city again) and nowadays any action she takes, [[Film/ManOfSteel no matter how violent it may have been or cruel it may seem to other people]], she has done [[IDidWhatIHadToDo to protect Los Angeles]].
495%%* WellIntentionedExtremist:
496
497!!Anko Mitarashi
498Alternate version of [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Anko Mitarashi]] that is a member of the Special Investigations Unit alongside Deunan Knute-Worth. Empowered by a different version of Orochimaru's seal that gives her immense abilities.
499----
500* BadassLongcoat: Her S.I.U. longcoat (more info on it above).
501%%* BashBrothers: With Deunan.
502* BrilliantButLazy: Is an incredibly good police officer and covert-ops specialist, only that she is pretty feisty, sometimes absurdly so (at least for Deunan).
503* {{Expy}}: The powers of the Seal essentially have turned her into a "hot ninja girl" version of [[Anime/{{Hellsing}} Alucard]].
504* HandCannon: Packs [[GunsAkimbo a pair of]] Mega-Damage Class [[MagneticWeapons rail-accelerator]] pistols capable of tearing apart even the most armored of targets.
505* HumanoidAbomination: Unleashing her Seal at full power pretty much takes her into what may or may not be Orochimaru's greatest wet-dream of power (that doesn't involves the Uchiha bloodline limits).
506* MsFanservice: This has not been reduced one bit from her canon self.
507* WellIntentionedExtremist: Any action that Deunan has taken, Anko is right there by her side.
508
509!! "Raven" (a.k.a. Motoko Aramaki).
510An Alternate version of [[Manga/GhostInTheShell Motoko Kusanagi]] that is a member of S.I.U. and a close associate of Anko and Deunan. While a lot of her story remains a mystery to her associates (and the audience), she remains the cybernetically-enhanced terror she has always been.
511
512She gets [[ADayInTheLimelight her Day In The Limelight]] on the 4-part story ''"[[http://gideon020.deviantart.com/art/Taken-113274687 The]] [[http://gideon020.deviantart.com/art/Kildar-and-Ghost-113403723 Motoko]] [[http://gideon020.deviantart.com/art/Black-115027666 Aramaki]] [[http://gideon020.deviantart.com/art/Endgame-115859736 Incident]]"'', by [[http://gideon020.deviantart.com/gallery/ Gideon020]]
513----
514* BerserkButton: Harm ''anybody'' that Raven likes and you better blow your own brains out, because she ''will'' chase you to the ends of the Earth, ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}''-style, to get revenge.
515* BodySurf: She is capable of this, [[RemoteBody and has various bolt-holes with bodies spread throughout]] ''the planet'' for use when necessary.
516* CompositeCharacter: Of her various interpretations throughout the franchise, with her name (and the multiple bolt-holes with alternate cyborg bodies to BodySurf into) showing that her primary inspiration is the [[Manga/GhostInTheShell original manga]] and the ''Man/Machine Interface'' continuation.

522[[folder:The Foundation]]
523
524!!'''THE FOUNDATION'''
525
526The fusion between the [[Series/KnightRider Foundation for Law and Government]] and the [[Series/MacGyver1985 Phoenix Foundation]], the result of neither individual group having the resources to tackle all of the insanity and criminality that the Core Timeline had in store.
527
528Currently, The Foundation is one of the greater unambiguously good factions within Coreline, providing stuff like pro-bono legal assistance, helping people organize security on their neighborhoods... and when necessary, deploying field agents with impressive skills and advanced vehicles to support them.
529
530'''Tropes for The Foundation as a Whole'''
531
532%%* BigGood:
533%%* HeroesRUs:
534* SpellMyNameWithAThe: That "The" is ''very'' important when talking about The Foundation.
535* SentientVehicle: It is not unusual for Foundation agents to have their own K.I.T.T.-style vehicles as partners.
536
537!!Peter Thornton
538----
539%%* ReasonableAuthorityFigure:
540* ThrowingOffTheDisability: Coreline medical technology helped him deal with his glaucoma.
541
542!!Devon Miles
543----
544* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Chuckles for a while when one of his VideoPhone calls reminds him of the times he [[Series/KnightRider spoke to Michael Knight back "home"]] (helps that the person who answered the call (Misato Saotome) did so in a similar way to Michael).
545%%* ReasonableAuthorityFigure:

548
549[[folder:Fantastic Future Foundation]]
550
551An organization created by multiple Alternate versions of The ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'', the "Triple-F" (or "Future Foundation"/"Fantastic Foundation") aims to provide fantastic solutions to extraordinary problems... which oftentimes involves clobbering the living hell out of a threat. Understandably, most field teams are of four members, although this is not set in stone.
552
553!!Tropes for the F.F.F. as a whole
554
555* BigGood: Well, they certainly are trying their damnedest to be this.
556* FourIsDeath: Inverted. Most teams have four members because they are Alternates of the Fantastic Four (if anything, it's ''good'' luck for the team). Although for various reasons not all teams will have this number, though.
557%%* HeroesRUs:
558
559[[/folder]]
560
561[[folder:The Heroes For Hire]]
562
563Although there are multiple teams running around with this name, the one that is referenced more often by people is the independent superhero teams funded by [[ComicBook/IronFist Rand Enterprises]]. Aiming to help the folks on the street, they perform pro-bono work, assist with security on community centers and affiliated activities, perform patrols and the like.
564
565!!Tropes for the H.F.H. as a whole
566
567* CorporateSponsoredSuperhero: With constant funding from R.E., the teams are free to do their work 24/7 if they wish to. For the most part.
568* HeroesRUs: It is right there in the name.
569* HumbleHero: For the most part, H.F.H. teams prefer not to be too flashy about the Rand affiliation and stick to dealing with street-level threats. Then again, on the Core Timeline, "street-level" can still get pretty damn powerful.
570----
571[[/folder]]
572
573[[folder:S.H.I.E.L.D.]]
574
575!!Tropes for SHIELD as a whole
576
577* BigGood: Well, they certainly are trying their damnedest to be this.
578%%* HeroesRUs:
579* RedeemingReplacement: One of the things that ''this'' version of SHIELD is trying to be is this to other versions of it that went past PoliceAreUseless and straight into horrifying jackbooted idiots (pretty much canon Franchise/MarvelUniverse, DependingOnTheWriter).
580* ShoutOut: They gave the name of their cooperation program with the Avengers Infinity the ''VideoGame/AvengersAlliance'' because it pretty much included doing something similar to the game (have Agents as part of Avengers teams).
581
582!!'''"The Director"'''
583Alternate version of Philip J. Coulson that has become the Director of SHIELD (after the version of Nick Fury that ran it had to go). Currently tries to maintain a secret that ''he'' is the Director, in order to maintain a certain level of intimidation that he doesn't thinks could be obtained otherwise. First appears on the epilogue of ''Operation ENDGAME''.
584----
585* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Doesn't looks any more intimidating than your math teacher... and is a highly experienced field agent and analyst, on top of leading one of The Line's top peacekeeping and espionage agencies.
586* BerserkButton: People with ChronicBackstabbingDisorder (especially when he's one of the backs that has been/will be stabbed) and HYDRA (nowadays CHIMERA and all associated groups, which ''includes'' HYDRA).
587* BigGood: The Director of SHIELD.
588* UnexpectedCharacter: InUniverse: Mari expected ComicBook/NickFury to be the Director... she certainly didn't expected ''Phil Coulson'' on the role.
589
590!!'''Maria Vincennes/Captain America'''
591Alternate version of Maria Vincennes (as she appears on the ''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Evangelion]]'' RPG, ''[[http://wiki.evageeks.org/Neon_Genesis_Evangelion_RPG:_The_Nerv_White_Paper Neon Genesis Evangelion RPG: The Nerv White Paper]]''. Has the skills and weapons of ComicBook/{{Captain America}}. Leader of SHIELD Team Seven (a Covert-Ops team). First appears on the short story ''"[[http://www.deviantart.com/art/CORELINE-Operation-SNAKE-CHARMER-Haster-Entry-522225645 Operation: SNAKE CHARMER]]"''
592----
593* TheAgeless: If the Serum didn't halt her aging entirely, it came pretty darn close.
594* TheComicallySerious: A lot of the humor involving her revolves around her deadpan interactions with the rest of her team.
595* FlowersForAlgernonSyndrome: Turns out on her backstory that the Super-Soldier Serum's enhancements were unstable and would have eventually faded away... and she was a sickly (''even more sickly than Steve Rogers''), weak and intellectually-stunted girl on the Forties, which to put it mildly, meant a very bleak outlook for her once they did (to the point that the Red Skull's attempt at pulling TheFinalTemptation on her was him promising to make the enhancements permanent ''and'' WeCanRuleTogether). It got better.
596* MarriedToTheJob: Has pretty much no life outside of SHIELD missions.
597* [[OneManArmy One Woman Army]].
598* [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]]: Is pretty much the only member of her team to have her act together.
599* OlderThanTheyLook: The effects of the Erskine SuperSoldier Serum included extremely slowed aging (if not flat-out ''stopping''). She looks like late teens while she is definitely older than any other member of her team-and with the experience to match. She was also [[HumanPopsicle frozen]] for a very long time.
600* SuperSoldier: She is an alternate of Captain America after all.
601
602!!'''Jeff "Joker" Moreau'''
603Alternate version of [[Franchise/MassEffect "Joker" Moreau]] that is Team Seven's "wheelman", piloting the various types of dropships that are regular transportation for the crew. Also first appears on ''"Operation: SNAKE CHARMER"''.
604----
605* AcePilot:
606* DeadpanSnarker: Still has this from his canonical appearances.
607* HandicappedBadass: Even with all of the medical technology available on The Line, he ''still'' is being affected by Vrolik's Syndrome (whether it's because the Syndrome is too hard to work on or because he willingly chose to not look for treatment still has not been said in-story).
608* ProperlyParanoid: Constantly calls Captain Vincennes out on the idea of having Fujiko on the team. In his defense, Fujiko ''still'' has a bad habit to steal whatever she thinks she can get away with, even if it could hinder the mission.
609* SarcasticDevotee:
610
611!!'''Fujiko Mine'''
612Alternate version of [[Franchise/LupinIII Fujiko Mine]] which is part of Team Seven as a thief/infiltration specialist. Poached by SHIELD and given a simple choice: Work for them or go to jail. Also first appears on ''"Operation: SNAKE CHARMER"''.
613----
614* BoxedCrook:
615* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: If Joker has a good reason to be ProperlyParanoid about having her on the team, it's because of her ''obscenely'' extensive record of pulling this off when she was "freelance" (and on the story that introduces her, things would have gone ''very'' bad for her had not she pulled the BatmanGambit of Cobra Commander thinking that Maria had taken an item she stole just because).
616* ClassyCatBurglar: The reason she was "headhunted" by SHIELD.
617* DeadpanSnarker:
618* DudeNotFunny: InUniverse: one of her favorite ways to dig at Joker is by making fun of his Vrolik's Syndrome.
619* MasterOfDisguise: She is a master of impersonation.
620* MostCommonSuperpower: Her impressive bust is one of the things that people notice the most... to the point it's pretty much the one flaw on her disguises ([[DistractedByTheSexy not that any of the people who notice seems to care]]).
621
622!!'''Maya Ibuki'''
623An Alternate of [[Franchise/NeonGenesisEvangelion Maya Ibuki]] that has been fused with another "Ibuki": namely, the one from the ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' franchise. Team Seven's hacker. First appeared on the short story ''"[[http://www.deviantart.com/art/Coreline-OPERATION-HARD-ENTRY-Mike313-Jam-Entry-545760073 Operation: HARD ENTRY]]"''
624----
625* BunnyEarsLawyer: While on the job, she's incredibly competent and dependable. The instant she's off-duty, however, all she can think about is her upcoming date, even going on to Squee about how cute her date is.
626* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Even on [[WorldOfBadass the Core Timeline]], pretty often when people hear "Maya Ibuki", they ''don't'' think "Ninja good enough to enter the ''Franchise/StreetFighter Tournament''". Her boy-crazy, hacker-nerd attitude doesn't help with that belief either... until it's too late.
627* {{Ninja}}: Like canon, she's trained as one.
628* PlayfulHacker:

633[[folder: Superhuman Oversight and Relations Committee (S.O.R.C.)]]
634
635!!Tropes for S.O.R.C. as a whole
636* HeroesRUs:
637* SuperRegistrationAct: The attempt by various Alternates of Stark from launching the [[ComicBook/CivilWar2006 Super-Human Registration Act]] on The Line was a partial success... after some toil and a few battles and ''everybody'' hating on how bad ''Civil War'' got. "Partial" in that what ''they'' wanted (which was at best the S.H.R.A. as was exactly written on the Franchise/MarvelUniverse and at worst a legal way to make all of the super humans on the United States conscripted) was not approved. The Line's version of the S.H.R.A. is ''not'' legally pressing for people who ''don't'' want to be superheroes (if you have powers and saved somebody's life but you just pulled the HeroicBystander[=/=]BadassBystander act, you won't get Cape Hunters after you) and those who ''do'' get benefits from registering such as a U.N.-approved I.F.F. code for international operations and optional training plus a higher chance of being head-hunted by groups like the Justice League Unlimited and Avengers Infinity (or deputy status on law enforcement agencies) and you can use your hero identity in court).
638* RedeemingReplacement: InUniverse, many people see S.O.R.C. as this to ''ComicBook/{{Civil War|2006}}'' and ''ComicBook/DarkReign''-era ComicBook/{{SHIELD}}.
639
640!!Creator/StanLee, a.k.a. "The Man"
641--->''"[[CatchPhrase Greetings, True Believers!]]"''
642Stan "The Man" Lee... it's Stan "The Man" Lee. '''THE''' Stan Lee. From Chairman Emeritus of Creator/MarvelComics to the head of one of the most important agencies that American super humans must deal with on their daily lives, he was chosen because he was the ONLY person that other people (including President Rogers) would trust with such power.
643
644And "The Man" has not disappointed.
645
646First appears on the final chapter of ''Fanfic/LegendsOfTheFourthOfJulyCoreline''.

648* BigApplesauce[=/=]BrooklynRage: He is from New York. So is most of his PraetorianGuard. Probably not a good idea to tick any of them off, just because of ''that''.
649* CoolOldGuy:
650* CoolShades:
651* GenreSavvy: As one of the men who spent their lives ''creating'' the superhero genre, it's obvious that he would know a lot of the tricks of the trade.
652* LargeHam: What do ''you'' expect from the man who wrote for the Golden and Silver Age in Creator/MarvelComics?
653* MostWritersAreWriters: This Trope is applied in a good way, of course (granting him great amounts of GenreSavvy), but still... his speech about Mari's bravery ''did'' got prefaced with a discussion of what makes a hero, not unlike that of many of his RealLife interviews.
654* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: "Reasonable" enough to listen to Mari's case (which, after all she had been though during ''Legends'', gives him this Trope alone) and overrule Jameson's sentence (''and'' give Mari a medal for her valiant ([[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight if technically illegal]]) actions) in a single, bombastic speech.

658[[folder:The World Martial Arts Academy]]
659
660The World Martial Arts Academy is a special joint venture between Stark Industries, Wayne Enterprises, Stingray Industries, and more. Its purpose is to facilitate better training for the various superheroes operating in the Core Timeline.
661
662!!Tropes for the World Martial Arts Academy as a whole.
663
664* HeroesRUs: One of many suppliers of super heroes.
665* SupernaturalMartialArts: A specialty of the academy.
666
667!![[Anime/DragonBallZ Goku]]
668An alternate of [[Anime/DragonBallZ Goku]] that serves as an instructor at the World Martial Arts Academy. Was personally responsible for training the alt of [[ComicBook/CaptainAmerica Steve Rogers]] that's Mari "Captain America" Makinami's surrogate uncle.
669----
670* BigEater: He's an alt of Goku. How could he be anything else?!
671* MentorArchetype: He was a mentor to an alt of Captain America.
672
673!![[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Happosai]]
674An alternate of [[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Happosai]] who is a teacher at the World Martial Arts Academy. Helped to train Mari "Captain America" Makinami and Maria "Thunderstrike" Vincennes.
675----
676* AdaptationalHeroism: Is substantially nicer and less lecherous than most alts of Happosai.
677
678[[/folder]]
679
680[[folder:GENOM Corporation]]
681
682The local version of [[Anime/BubblegumCrisis GENOM Corporation]], and one of the biggest examples of "Evil MegaCorp" on the Core Timeline. They first appear on ''Mike's CLINE Snippet''.
683
684!!Tropes for the organization as a whole:
685
686* CorruptCorporateExecutive: This is not the only evil MegaCorp on the Core Timeline, but it is one of those that that have set the current standard. It's ''that'' Evil.
687* KillerRobot: It creates ''oodles'' of these, from their signature "Boomer/Voomer"-roids, to [[Anime/BirdyTheMighty Marionette]]-class robots, to copies of tried-and-true designs from the [[Franchise/StarWars GFFA]].
688* PuttingOnTheReich: Their allegiance to the Empire Remnant and the First Order could not be better exposed than the fact that GENOM Security forces use their military attires, rank classification methods and some of their surplus vehicles (which have been modified to GENOM's pleasure, usually with higher automation, MoreDakka and/or more {{KillerRobot}}s on the inside). This is, by the way, a ShoutOut to ''Fanfic/UndocumentedFeatures''.
689* TakeOverTheWorld: They try this occasionally. Their EstablishingCharacterMoment on the story timeline is allowing a MadScientist like [[Anime/BirdyTheMighty Hikawa]] free reign to mass clone an Alternate of Fanfic/ShinjiIkiryo [[CapturedSuperEntity that they had managed to capture]] (or more like managed to purchase after the Ghostbusters captured him by mistake) and try to use said clones to manipulate superheroes (in a test run to escalate to more... politically important... people. They even specifically target The Champions for reasons yet unknown--for all that it's possible, maybe it was for something strategically important, or maybe it was to put egg on Stingray's face) and the PersonOfMassDestruction that was their prototype Gamma Kryptonian.
690
691!![[Anime/BirdyTheMighty Doctor Hikawa]]
692An alternate of [[Anime/BirdyTheMighty Dr. Hikawa]] that is one of GENOM's top scientists and the head of the Ikiryo clone and Gamma Kryptonian projects. First appears on ''Mike's CLINE Snippet''.
693----
694* MadScientist: Started by being a Mengele-like scientist during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII on his home universe, and has only gotten worse from there.
695* OffscreenKarma: Later appearances by Buster Maya and Superwoman Misato (which explicitly happen many months later) expose that they managed to hunt down and get revenge on him for what he did to Shinji.
696* TheSociopath: He absolutely does not gives a shit about the massive amounts of suffering (to heroes, innocent bystanders ''and his own forces'') that he creates with his projects.
697
698[[/folder]]
699
700[[folder:Justice League Unlimited]]
701
702!!Tropes for both organizations as a Whole
703
704* HeroesRUs:
705* HeroesUnlimited: Very visibly invoked with the Justice League using the word "Unlimited".

717An Alternate version of Maria Vincennes (one of ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'''s [[Characters/NeonGenesisEvangelionExtracanonicalCharacters extra-canonical characters]] by way of the Japan-only Tabletop RPG "[[http://evangelion.wikia.com/wiki/Neon_Genesis_Evangelion_RPG:_The_NERV_White_Paper The NERV White Paper]]" with the abilities of [[ComicBook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica Mr. Terrific]].
718----
719* AttackDrone: Her T-Spheres.
720* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: She "just" trained herself to (by comic-book standards, which are absurdly high) high-grade human levels of endurance, agility and strength. And being able to "jump good" (in the ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'' sense).
721* DominoMask: Averted trope, unlike Michael Holt. She uses a full-face mask with only a hole for her hair to come out the top.
722[[/folder]]
723
724[[folder: Grey Knights]]
725
726A team of anti heroes, who try to undermine villains while being on the radar of other heroes because they are openly led by a Lelouch, who most expect to be a villain and don't trust.
727
728!!'''Lelouch Lamperouge/"Iron" Zero'''
729An Alternate of Lelouch Lamperouge that uses {{Comicbook/IronMan}}-style PoweredArmor based on his Knightmare Frames from the series. A weapons developer that supplies various villains while plotting against them, he's managed to convince people he somehow isn't Zero so far, but fears being exposed.
730----
731%%* ArmsDealer:
732* PoweredArmor: Unsurprising from an alt of Iron Man, he has power armor.
733%%* SecretIdentity:
734* TheStrategist: As usual for Lelouch, he's great at strategy.
735
736%%!!'''C.C.'''
737%%The C.C. of where ever Zero originated from. She followed him, working as his confidant and Mission Control. She doesn't seem to have a hero identity, but possesses the sword and skills of Kaguya Nambu from Super Robot Wars OG Saga, Endless Frontier.
738%%----
739%%* {{BFS}}:
740%%* DeadpanSnarker:
741%%* MysteriousWaif:
742
743!!'''Mari Illustrious Makinami/Vixen'''
744An Alternate of [[Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion Mari Illustrious Makinami]] that possesses the power of ComicBook/{{Vixen}}. She's a thief for hire that was hired to steal something from Lelouch, but ended up joining him in the end.
745----
746* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Of the ''Animal Attributes'' type. With Vixens.
747%%* BloodKnight:
748* FemmeFatalons: When using a big cat's power. Can cut metal, but not a Kryptonian.
749* MightyGlacier: Rhino, though it doesn't hold up compared to superpowered Nigh Invulnerability.
750%%* MsFanservice: Actually pointed out in-story.
751* PowerCopying: Animals only, but still her capacity to copy things such as a rhino's toughness or a cheetah's speed comes incredibly handy.
752* SensualSpandex: Vixen's dark gold outfit, cleavage window and all.
753* SuperSpit: Can spit venom and spider webbing depending on the power.
754* WallCrawl: Though a spider's powers she can do this.
755
756!!'''Princess Pride and Knightman'''
757An Alternate of Princess Pride from VideoGame/MegamanBattleNetwork. She and her navi Knightman ended up joining Zero at some point. Her country of Creamland either does not exist in Coreline or someone else is ruling it. She can Cross-Fuse with Knightman like in Rockman.exe Steam.
758----
759* EpicFlail: Knightman's Royal Wrecking Ball.
760%%* FusionDance:
761%%* TheKidWithTheRemoteControl: The Princess, of Knightman.
762* MightyGlacier: Both of them, even though Pride is a slender woman, but they can speed up temporarily using chips as well.
763* MorphWeapon: Using Battlechips, although Pride can only use 5 at a time.
764* PrettyPrincessPowerhouse: Despite her innocent appearance she's extremely dangerous with her net navi.
765* StoneWall: Sturdy by default, but when using Stone Body even a Kryptonian can't move them, but only if their feet are planted on the ground.
766
767!!'''The Wastelander'''
768A ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' character of some sort, seemingly hailing from [[VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas New Vegas]] based on his equipment. Who he is specifically, if anyone is unknown.
769----
770* BadassLongcoat: A Desert Ranger outfit, including body armor [[GasMaskMook and gas mask]]. Only thing of his MysteriousPast that is known is that he took that outfit from a dead Desert Ranger.
771%%* BadassNormal:
772%%* {{BFG}}: Red Glare and a Gatling Laser.

780
781!!'''Annie/Clay Girl'''
782A member of the Core Timeline's ComicBook/TeenTitans who has the powers of [[Characters/BatmanRoguesGallery Clayface.]]
783----
784* SparedByTheAdaptation: Survived the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' episode ''[[Recap/TheNewBatmanAdventuresE8GrowingPains Growing Pains]]''. [[spoiler:[[DeathByAdaptation Tim]] [[HeroicSacrifice didn't]].]]
785* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Like Clayface, she is capable of this. And thus she uses it to help the Champions set a trap.
786
787!!'''Haruka Nanase'''
788An Alternate version of [[Anime/{{Free}} Haruka Nanase]] that is now part of the United States UsefulNotes/CoastGuard (as a rescue swimmer). First appears on the short story ''[[http://www.deviantart.com/art/SEMPER-PARATUS-A-CORELINE-STORY-476459686 Semper Paratus]]''.
789----
790* AdaptationalBadass: An understated example-man is a ''UsefulNotes/CoastGuard rescue swimmer'' (as in "You have to go out. You ''don't'' have to come back").
791* {{Determinator}}: Pretty much had to be one to get through Coast Guard TrainingFromHell (which is even more hellish now that, Post-Vanishing, there are a tremendous amount of threats on the ocean).
792* GenderBlenderName: This fact of his name gets a LampshadeHanging by his co-workers on the story proper. Turns out that they have no problem with it (and with the name of the brother of one of them being "Ashley", they understand).
793%%* IcyBlueEyes:
794* MadeOfIron: Gets bashed over the head with a fire extinguisher by an Alternate of [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Peter Griffin]] and doesn't seems to be affected with more than some minor bleeding from the head. Semi-justified by him wearing a helmet, although Peter Griffin is known to deliver ''quite'' the brutal beatdowns.
795%%* TheQuietOne:
796%%* TheStoic:
797* SensualSpandex: His "work uniform" happens to be a specialized survival suit (at the time of his introductory story, experimental) that protects pretty well from the cold on extended-duration missions. [[StupidSexyFlanders Makes his co-workers feel somewhat inadequate for a second when they first see him]].
798
799!!'''The Honorable Governor Optimus Prime (Mich.)'''
800---> ''"Freedom is the '''right''' of all sentient beings. It is also their '''responsibility''' to maintain this right."''
801The Governor of the State of Michigan (For Life), this alternate of [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformers Optimus Prime]] was chosen by the people (and then chosen by the people to remain there for as long as it took, by their decision to abolish the term limits) with a simple promise: transform the state back into a prosperous place, after many years of it being a PlaceWorseThanDeath before ''and'' after The Vanishing.
802
803So far, he has managed incredible success, making corporations within the Motor City (such as [[Franchise/{{Robocop}} Omni Consumer Products]]) play nice with each other (at least within the state's limits). It is still far from complete, this mission he has proposed, but as a Cybertronian, he has nothing if not time to set things right... and a Prime is nothing if not driven to accomplish his promises.
804----
805
806* BewareTheNiceOnes: The big bot is a BigGood... and not only is he an incredibly fearsome warrior himself, hurting him ''will bring '''everybody''' in Michigan ('''[[EnemyMine including]]''' the Mega-Corporations) down upon your head''.
807%%* BigGood: Both figurative and literal.
808%%* GentleGiant:
809* OldSoldier: This robot is a veteran of the ever-timeless battle between the Heroic Autobots and the Insidious Decepticons.
810* PresidentForLife: Downplayed example in that he is "just" Governor. Also a rare heroic example, and furthermore a rare example of a "president for life" that had the "for life" part chosen ''by the public''.
811
812!!President Steven Grant Rogers.
813The current President of the United States, an Alternate of ComicBook/CaptainAmerica (from [[Franchise/MarvelUniverse the comic book universes]]). Not much else is known about him at this current moment of writing. First mentioned in the fifth chapter of ''Fanfic/LegendsOfTheFourthOfJulyCoreline''.
814----
815%%* ActionPolitician:
816* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: Even if he's currently on a non-action role, ''nobody'' underestimates his fighting skills.
817* TheChainsOfCommanding: Even if he has made great advancements (with the help of other people such as Governor Prime, The Foundation and the more heroic Mega-Corporations), he is still working on rebuilding the nation from the damages of The Vanishing, to not mention still struggling with people who have a hard time taking orders from ComicBook/CaptainAmerica, Commander-In-Chief or not. ''Operation ENDGAME'' also shows that he's not fond of the standard procedure of "evacuate the President while everybody else becomes HoldTheLine fodder".
818* OurPresidentsAreDifferent: Both President Action and President Personable.
819
820!!Amanda Waller.
821An Alternate version of Amanda Waller that is part of President Rogers' inner circle. Still runs the ComicBook/SuicideSquad.
822----
823* AdaptationalHeroism: Unknown application. While President Rogers doesn't likes the fact that Task Force X/the "Suicide Squad" still exists, the fact that he has allowed it to keep on running (and allowed Waller to be part of his retinue) means that she possibly isn't as sociopathic as some versions of her have been.
824* GoodIsNotNice: Again: the ComicBook/SuicideSquad exists on the Core Timeline, and ''she'' is the one in charge of it. Also there is her EstablishingCharacterMoment below.
825* IronLady: Her EstablishingCharacterMoment is calling Rogers an idiot ''right to his face'' and pointing out that getting away while the getting is good instead of standing around in some dumb attempt to show he's a FatherToHisMen is gonna get him killed and will effectively [[DecapitatedArmy decapitate America]]. [[JerkassHasAPoint Everybody else inside the Oval Office at the moment then point out to Rogers that she is right]], making him decide to evacuate.
826
827!! "Old Man" Fiddleford Hadron [=McGucket=], Chief Priest of the North American Branch of the Church Of The Angel Combustion.
828An Alternate of [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Old Man McGucket]], who in the insanity of the 23 Hours (a second Weirdmageddon, in his eyes) got "a calling" to worship machines (cars and mecha, the more powerful the better) and the badass people who wielded them for good. Eventually forming the North American Branch of [[VideoGame/MadMax2015 the Church of the Angel Combustion]], the crazy old man still lives in the Oregon town of Gravity Falls, where he preaches the word of the Angel Combustion and, in between creating insane devices, modifies cars for those he deems worthy.
829----
830* CompositeCharacter: Not only between early- and late-series Old Man [=McGucket=], but between Old Man [=McGucket=] and [[VideoGame/MadMax2015 Chumbucket]].
831* CoolGarage: His "sanctum", built inside part of the Gravity Falls Junkyard (itself shared with other Alternates of himself). Imagine a super-science-y ''Film/MadMax''[=/=]''Series/ScrapheapChallenge''-style workshop.
832* CoolOldGuy: Crazy old kook... capable of single-handedly (and [[RidiculouslyFastConstruction absurdly quickly]], at that) create HumongousMecha and [[CoolCar Cool Cars]] that can turn the average ''Film/MadMax''-style [[VehicularCombat road warrior]] into a veritable OneManArmy.
833* EmbarrassingMiddleName: Seriously, "''Hadron''"? Kind of averted with his (equally funny) first name-so many "Old Man [=McGuckets=]" out there, he doesn't minds people calling him "Fiddleford" or a variation (well... he may still have a bit of an issue with people calling him "Ford").
834* GadgeteerGenius: A top-notch "comic-book-science" engineer inside of an "old kook".
835* MachineWorship: Worships machines (cars and mecha, the more powerful the better), labels [[BadassDriver Badass Drivers]] as "Saints", and considers sentient machines such as [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Cybertronians]] as manifestations of the Angel's will. He is the "chief priest" of a (still admittedly small) pseudo-religious order of same-minded mechanics.
836* ObfuscatingInsanity: ZigZaggedTrope. It's really hard to tell if he's doing that anymore (look down on "SanitySlippage").
837* SanitySlippage: The 23 Hours and their aftermath were not kind on the man-he didn't ''completely'' lost his CharacterDevelopment from the ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' canon, but it's ''seriously'' hard to tell nowadays when if he's even pulling an act.
838
839!! FBI Special Agent Emmanuel Stanislaus [[spoiler:"Dipper" Pines]], FBI Extranormal Investigations ("X-File") Division (Oregon office).
840A grown up Alternate of [[spoiler:"[[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Dipper]]" Pines]], veteran of both the events of his canonical series and ten years of growing up on the Core Timeline, now an FBIAgent and a member of one of various current FBI sub-divisions (including the X-Files, [[TabletopGame/HunterTheVigil VASCU]] and [[ComicBook/GoldDigger "Agency Zero"]]) that try to bring paranormal criminals to justice. Assigned the Oregon "beat" because of the high amount of paranormal activity (including [[Series/{{Grimm}} Wesen]] and [[TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}} Shadowrunners]] from up in Seattle doing Runs on locations like Portland), it is not unusual for him to return to the town where his life changed...
841----
842* AgentMulder: And he has the TropeNamer as a boss, too!
843* BadassInANiceSuit: Standard "FBIAgent"/"TheMenInBlack" outfit, complete with BadassLongcoat.
844* CompositeCharacter[=/=]{{Expy}}: He has elements of his canonical self, [[Series/TheXFiles Agent Fox Mulder]] and [[Series/{{Constantine}} John Constantine (the TV series version)]].
845* DistinguishingMark: [[spoiler:He hides his Big Dipper birthmark with pretty heavy-duty stuff (cosmetics, applied false skin, holographic projections, lots of hat-wearing). Bureau regulations prevent him from having his hair as long as he did as a kid.]]
846* EmbarrassingFirstName and EmbarrassingMiddleName: But he nowadays rarely uses his nickname because 1) it's for his friends and 2) IKnowYourTrueName (and he thinks of said nickname as his "true" name) is in play on various types of magic he has to deal with.
847%%* FBIAgent:
848* KnightTemplarBigBrother: Has met the Office of Professional Responsibility a couple of times for using Bureau resources to pester people his sister dates. Every time he has escaped trouble because they meant bad things for her.
849%%* OccultDetective:.
850* OlderAndWiser: Ten years of living on the Core Timeline has made him even more savvy at hunting the paranormal than he was on his canon series.
851* ProperlyParanoid: [[spoiler:Takes precautions to prevent Bill Cipher from knowing information about him. Considering that many alternates of Bill go ''way'' beyond "creepy stalker" level, he is in the right to take them. Also see above on "KnightTemplarBigBrother".]]
852* NamedByTheAdaptation: Needs be said-many Alternates of a character either have differing first and/or middle names (because of Fanon and said names not being said on the show) to start with or occasionally do some change to their name (like adding a differing middle name) to reflect their difference from their "canon" versions on The Line. This version of [[spoiler:Dipper]] was born with the name "Emmanuel Stanislaus" ([[spoiler:which means that he ''is'' occasionally called "Uncle Stan"]]).
853* TheMenInBlack: One of them now. Younger versions of himself sometimes accuse him of having pulled a FaceHeelTurn, just because it ''sounds'' like it.
854* TookALevelInBadass: Gentlemen, [[spoiler:this is "Dipper" Pines ten years older and with FBI training-including stuff like handling firearms]]. Piss him off at your own risk.
855* YouDontLookLikeYou: Barring some details, he resembles a cartoonish Jason Ritter (rather than his fanon designs that [[spoiler:make him resemble his Grunkles or even Alex Hirsch (understandable, being Hirsch's AuthorAvatar in a way)]]). Also a MythologyGag.
856
857!!Cortana
858Alternate version of Cortana, who is the leader (or "benevolent dictator", in her own sarcastic delivery) the Post-Vanishing Pan-African Nation.
859----
860* AIIsACrapshoot: ZigZaggedTrope. Although she didn't got to the levels of crazy of ''Guardians'' and onwards, she still became somewhat Rampant and then achieved Meta-Stability.
861* GoodIsNotNice: She is a meta-stable Halo-Verse Artificial Intelligence programmed by the UNSC's version of TheMenInBlack. Threaten her nation and those in it and you're gonna get as big a taste of the Covenant War as it'll take for you to regret it.
862* MasterComputer: One that rues a ''really big'' chunk of Africa.
863* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: Turns out she was immune to the massive hacking attack by PROGENY. Jokes about the events of the HALO series and the crazy that (may) have been left behind being too much for even the child of GLADOS and CABAL to take ensued.
864
865!!The Dungeon Master
866---> ''"[[IResembleThatRemark A demented magical gnome with a Yoda complex?]] [[EstablishingCharacterMoment My word]]."''
867An Alternate version of [[WesternAnimation/DungeonsAndDragons1983 the Dungeon Master]] that has become an occasional guest (and some may say "nuisance") of the Chicago Extraordinary Avengers, providing advice and fore-warning of upcoming events in the form of riddles. First appeared on "Rise of the Extraordinary Avengers", Chapter 7.
868----
869* AlternateSelf: One of the very first things he mentions when he first appears is that he's a different Dungeon Master from the one that Hank and Diana knew on their native universe.
870* BigGood: He wants to help people... which is one of the reasons why Mari and the others tolerate his constant appearances out of nowhere and his riddles.
871* CrypticConversation: His standard way to pass information. It takes a very serious situation (or being asked strenuously) for him to provide it in a different way.
872* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: If anybody knows any other names for him, let alone if it's his ''real'' one, they sure haven't appeared yet.
873* TheMentor: In a way, he was one for the 'adventuring party' that was the cast of the D&D cartoon (he even calls them 'students' when he first appears), and tries to keep in touch with them even now.
874* OffscreenTeleportation: Very prone to appearing and disappearing without a trace the moment people are not looking at him--to the point that it's a RunningGag for Mari to keep asking JARVIS if his sensors picked the DM.
875* StealthHiBye: Actually called that InUniverse.
876* TricksterMentor: He wants to help people. As is standard of someone with the term "Dungeon Master", he does it in a way that has people knowing the answer [[YouWillKnowWhatToDo on the very moment that it's necessary, and not one second earlier]]. Mari describes it (before he first appears) as him having "a [[Franchise/StarWars Yoda]] complex".
877
878!!'''The Defenders'''
879Alternate versions of the Marvel Cinematic Universe Defenders (Jessica Jones, Matt "Daredevil" Murdock, Luke Cage and Danny "Iron Fist" Rand), and [[WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries an Alt of the 90's cartoon Spider-Man that is their Avengers liaison]] that have Emerged on the Core Timeline. First appear among other heroes dealing with monsters all over the world on the fourth Chapter of ''"The Shikinami Ranger and the Monster Mashers"''.
880----
881* HumongousMecha: This version of Spidey got himself a [[Series/SpiderManJapan Leopardon all of his own]] (long story short, he got a little fixer-upper trophy on an adventure).
882* PopCulturedBadass: Danny is the only Defender to recognize [[TabletopGame/CallOfCthulhu that they are fighting the spawn of Cthulhu]] on their collective EstablishingCharacterMoment. He is quick to explain that he saw them on saturday morning cartoons.
883* PoweredArmor: They get Ninja Turtle Cyber Suits to help fight a rampaging ''Cthulhu''.
884* ThrowingOffTheDisability: The Alternate of Matt that is part of this group has been cured of his blindness. The side-effect is that his enhanced senses are still on and he's still susceptible to being overloaded with information (he's mentioned he'd had to train in taking in his "world of fire" alongside his regular sight).
885* WhereDoesHeGetAllThoseWonderfulToys: Asked by Luke Cage when he sees the Avengers running around with HumongousMecha and Ninja Turtles with PoweredArmor. The answer? Jessica found some friends (the aforementioned Turtles) that can lend them some toys to play...
886
887!!Jessica Rabbit Pegasus
888---> ''"I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way."''
889An Alternate version of [[Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit Jessica]] that is married to the Maximillion Pegasus who's a member of the Chicago Avengers. Though not an official member of the team, she does what she can when needed.
890----
891* GoodBadGirl: She looks the look, and even plays the part at times. But she's devoted to her husband and willing to help the Avengers when she can.
892* RomancingTheWidow: Was on the receiving end of this. After Roger Rabbit died in her native universe, Jessica was broken and alone, even after arriving in the Core Timeline. It wasn't until she met Maximillion "Slapstick" Pegasus that she could love again.
893
894!!Superwoman Misato
895Alternate version of [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Misato Katsuragi]] who has the powers of ComicBook/{{Superman}}.
896----
897* FightofftheKryptonite: Misato tries this several times but fails, especially when Hikawa is involved.
898* KryptoniteFactor: Misato is vulnerable kryptonite and has been exposed to it several times.
899
900
901!! Buster Maya
902Alternate version of [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Maya Ibuki]] who has the tools of a Ghostbuster.
903----
904* HunterOfMonsters: She is a Ghostbuster, isn't she?
905[[/folder]]
906
907[[folder:Other Villains]]
908
909!!'''Mari Illustrious Makinami/Deadpool'''
910Alternate version of [[Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion Mari Illustrious Makinami]] who has the powers and ''insanity'' of ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}.
911----
912* FourthWallObserver[=/=]NoFourthWall: Hey, I know I'm a character in the story! Some people might think I'm a big loon for talking and thinking that way! But when you stop to think about how it is around the Line, I think I'm definitely onto something!
913* HealingFactor[=/=]GoodThingYouCanHeal: Well, duh! I'm an [[FusionFic amalgam]] of ''[[ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} freakin' Deadpool!!]]'' You think little things like [[OffWithHisHead getting my head chopped off]] or [[StuffBlowingUp getting blown to bits is gonna do anything more than slow me down?]]
914* PsychoForHire: [[CardCarryingVillain Why, thank you!]]
915* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Hey, I wasn't going to stick around and watch some ComicBook/CaptainAmerica out-awesome me! ''I'm'' supposed to be the most badass thing around! ''[[NoFourthWall It's in my damned contract!!]]''
916* SmallRoleBigImpact: Okay, I'm a bit pissed about not having had more screen time, but on the other hand, ''I'm'' the reason Star-Spangled Me got a sentence and was driven to despair! So there!
917
918!!'''Mari Illustrious Makinami/Taskmaster'''
919Alternate version of [[Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion Mari Illustrious Makinami]] who has the skills and abilities of ComicBook/{{Taskmaster}}.
920----
921* AttackItsWeakPoint: Tries this on the Indianapolis Champions. [[spoiler:It... doesn't work out.]]
922* BerserkButton: While she makes it clear that it's more about the money and the reputation, she also mentions that she is pissed at "Cap" Mari "stealing" her schtick of copying people's skills.
923* BlessedWithSuck: Her conversation with "Cap" Mari on ''A Tale Of Two Maris'' implies that her powers come with the issue that her skill-copying power has the weakness that every skill and move she learns takes space from other memories on her mind... including such things as her parents and other people she (once) liked. [[UnreliableNarrator On the other hand, she may have been taunting the Captain-it is still too early to tell]].
924* PowerCopying: Just like the regular ComicBook/{{Taskmaster}} alt, she can copy the skills of anybody, just by seeing them once.
925
926!!'''Edward Elric/Grim Reaper'''
927An Alternate version of [[Manga/FullMetalAlchemist Edward Elric]] that became the Grim Reaper (the Franchise/MarvelUniverse villain) after the attempt to resurrect his mother failed, experimenting on methods to do so regardless of how many people would die as a side-effect and becoming the sworn enemy of his own brother, Alphonse "Wonder Man" Elric, as a result.
928----
929* AdaptationalVillainy: Canon version: JerkWithAHeartOfGold. ''This'' version: OmnicidalManiac.
930* ArtificialLimbs: He's got an Automail arm that he has a fondness of transforming into [[SinisterScythe a gigantic scythe]].
931* CainAndAbel: He's the Cain to Al's Abel.
932* FreudianExcuse: His mother died. He couldn't revive her. Massacres ensued.
933* OmnicidalManiac: He experiments in human alchemy and means to resurrect people. People that die he has no problem with--[[NightOfTheLivingMooks it only adds to his necromantic army]].
934* SinisterScythe: His weapon, alongside Alchemy. Comes with the Grim Reaper motif.
935
936[[/folder]]
937
938[[folder: The X-Men]]
939
940The local version of the ComicBook/XMen, which operates as a superhero team semi-independent of the MegaCorp "Greymalkin Industries". As well, Xavier's School For Gifted Children is one of SORC's various appointed training facilities for superpower people.
941
942!!Tropes the organization as a Whole.
943
944* BackFromTheBrink: Currently, Greymalkin and the X-Men are doing pretty well, after a pretty crappy first stage (read OldShame below).
945* CorporateSponsoredSuperhero: Many X-Men are founding members of Greymalkin Industries, and Greymalkin Industries funds the X-Men and the Xavier School greatly. It has come to the point where Greymalkin employees, regardless of whether or not they are mutants or otherwise affiliated with the superhero group, have been given the street name of "X-Men".
946* OldShame: [[invoked]]The first X-Men to Emerge on the Core Timeline were the more "current" Alternates of the Team... and as a result their attitude backfired ''hard'' (talking "had to sell off a lot of stuff to pay the bills and people were ashamed to be Mutants because it looked like the X-Gene was a Jerkass-making machine" kind of backfire). Understandably, this is an era that X-Men don't like to talk about.
947%%* HeroesRUs:
948%%* HeroesUnlimited:
949
950
951!!'''Hikari Horaki/Cyclops'''
952Alternate version of [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Hikari Horaki]] who has the powers of ComicBook/{{Cyclops}}. Member of the Chicago X-Men.
953----
954* AdaptationalCurves: It's explicitly said that she has a pretty fit muscle tone and her outfit shows it off pretty well.
955* AlliterativeName: '''H'''ikari '''H'''oraki.
956* BadassAdorable: A waifish (even if extremely toned) teen with pigtails and freckles... and packing a bazooka behind each eyeball, a mind with immense tactical knowledge, and a capacity to kick ass that is only surpassed by BadassAbnormal martial artists.
957* BlessedWithSuck: The 'blessed' part is that, unlike Summers, she can turn off her EyeBeams at will and not blast everything in sight if she doesn't wants to. The 'suck' is the part that it takes time for her optic blast to build up to full power the moment she turns it on, directly consistent with the amount of time she has had it off (meaning that if she took a whole day with them off, it takes 24 hours or so for it to build back up). Understandably, out of ProperlyParanoid precautions, she prefers to keep her optic blast on active mode.
958%%* TheCaptain:
959* CoolShades: When she's off-duty, she wears quartz-lensed glasses instead of her visor.
960%%* {{Determinator}}:
961* EyeBeams: The powers that give her the "Cyclops" callsign.
962* GirlishPigtails: Even as a leader in an outfit like the X-Men, she refuses to get rid of that hairstyle.
963* SensualSpandex: Much to her chagrin, the outfit she wears (the 1990s-slash-''WesternAnimation/XMenTheAnimatedSeries'' cartoon-slash-early VideoGame/CapcomVs games Cyclops uniform) looks ''very'' good on her.
964%%* SupremeChef: She's a pretty good chef.
965* SuperToughness: A minor version of this is one of her RequiredSecondaryPowers (and a manifestation of the typical comic book "beaten up so badly that a normal human would be dead of shock or concussions alone, but is still ticking" Trope).
966%%* TeamMom:

969
970[[folder: Venusians]]
971The so-called "jungle heroes" who live on Venus, which has been turned into a jungle planet after the Vanishing. Most of them look, dress, and act like characters from early-20th-century pulp adventure novels. The ones we've seen so far are alternate versions of characters from ''Franchise/NeonGenesisEvangelion.''
972
973!!Tropes for the group as a whole.
974* AmazonianBeauty: The female ones are this, especially Mari and Asuka.
975* JunglePrincess: All of the women are naturally this.
976* GoingNative: This is Misato's backstory; she was a sociologist who came to Venus to study the people there and ended up living as one herself.
977* MusclesAreMeaningful: They're all ''ripped'' and super-strong.
978* NatureHero: They all qualify, since their world is a jungle world after all.
979* NubileSavage: How the female ones dress.
980* WorldOfMuscleMen: Both the males and females qualify--the hostile environment of Venus has made physical fitness a necessity for anyone wishing to live there.
981
982!!'''Mari Illustrious Makinami/Jungle Mari'''
983Alternate version of [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Mari Illustrious Makinami]] who lives in the jungles of Venus. Superhumanly strong, agile, and fast, and much more at home in the jungle than in civilization.
984----
985* ActionGirl: Goes without saying. She can kick the ass of almost any non-superpowered character she encounters.
986* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: She gets covered in all sorts of gross stuff (blood, fish guts, plant juices, saber-toothed tiger slobber) but never in a way that makes her less attractive.
987* BoisterousBruiser: She's a jungle warrior who can bench-press a dinosaur. She's also a lot of fun to be around, and always willing to help anyone lost the jungle.
988* BicepKiss: In her introductory story she does it to showcase her AmazonianBeauty to some mooks.
989* BigEater: Finishes off a fish bigger than herself, and calls it a light snack.
990* FurBikini: Wears one. It's made pretty clear that she has no problem walking around lacking pieces of it.
991* KindHeartedCatLover: Is friends with a giant saber-toothed cat.
992* MaleGaze: Takes advantage of this to distract an enemy long enough to kill him.
993* SuperStrength: Not a superpower per se, but still insanely strong.
994* VineSwing: How she likes to get around.
995
996!!'''Maria "Doc Vince" Vincinnes'''
997A young woman from one of the cities on Venus, and an alternate version of the character of the same name from a Neon Genesis Evangelion tabletop game (the Japan-only "NERV White Paper"). Pretty much a blonde pretty-girl anime version of [[Literature/DocSavage Dr. Clark Savage, Jr.]], with a few other things turned up.
998----
999* TheAce: Is a multiple-time Olympic gold-medalist and phD-holder, among other things.
1000* AmazonianBeauty: She is described to be a pretty drop-dead gorgeous woman that is ripped and essentially superhuman.
1001* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Good genes and impressive training has turned her into a pulp-fiction Supergirl.
1002* CityMouse: She isn't really used to being in the jungle, but unlike most she gets her bearings pretty quick.
1003* {{Expy}} / CaptainErsatz: She's based, in many ways, on a pretty famous Pulp character: [[Literature/DocSavage Doctor Clark Savage, Jr.]]
1004* GeniusBruiser: She's extremely ''smart'', to the point of being a borderline OmnidisciplinaryScientist
1005* SuperStrength: She is mentioned to have the build of an Olympic athlete and can do such things as rip off trees (''huge'', presumably multi-ton trees) from the ground and toss them away with some effort.
1006
1007!!'''Asuka Langley Soryu'''
1008An alternate version of Asuka who, like Mari, is much more at home in the jungles of Venus than in the cities. She has an on-and-off relationship with the local version of Shinji Ikari, who in this world is an AdventurerArchaeologist.
1009----
1010* AmazonianBeauty: Par for the course. Her appearances so far have some moment where Shinji inevitably goes ga-ga over her powerful frame.
1011* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Like Mari, living in the jungle has given her incredible strength. She still relies on a weapon in most fights, though.
1012* FieryRedhead: Just like in canon. The capacity to kill dinosaurs with her bare hands is pretty impressive, as well.
1013* KindheartedCatLover: She quickly develops a bond with Mari's giant pet saber-toothed cat.
1014* SuperStrength: Can lift the aforementioned saber-toothed cat over her head without breaking a sweat.
1015
1016!!'''Kitten'''
1017---> ''"Mrowl!"''
1018Mari's pet saber-toothed cat. Affectionate to people he trusts, ferocious to people he doesn't.
1019 ----
1020* AllAnimalsAreDogs: His standard way of greeting people is to [[https://elsqiubbonator.deviantart.com/art/Jungle-Mari-and-Kitten-COLORED-727006569 give them lots of slobbery licks]]. Mari and Asuka both love it, but Doc Vince finds it disgusting.
1021* CuteKitten: At least when it comes to picking a name.
1022* ADogNamedDog: Ok, sure, it's a freaking ''saber-toothed tiger'', but calling a member of the ''Felidae'' family "Kitten" still doesn't screams being highly imaginative.
1023* FluffyTheTerrible: Let's just say he isn't an ordinary "kitten".
1024* [[CoveredInGunge Covered In Drool]]: Given his size, this is the usual result of his displays of affection.
1025* HorseOfADifferentColor: He's big enough for Mari to ride on. Other people, like Doc Vince, try to as well, but aren't as keen on the experience.
1026* LightningBruiser: Fast, strong, and agile.
1027%%* LoyalAnimalCompanion: To Mari.
1028* MegaNeko: Even for a saber-toothed cat, he's gigantic.
1029* PantheraAwesome: As a half-ton saber-toothed cat, he's pretty awesome.
1030
1031!!'''Shinji Ikari''
1032The local version of Shinji Ikari, an AdventurerArchaeologist who occasionally has run-ins with Venusian versions of the other ''Evangelion'' characters.
1033----
1034* AdventurerArchaeologist: One who has plenty to do, since Venus in this setting is covered with mysterious ruins.
1035* AmazonChaser: Has gone ga-ga over Asuka's muscular physique more than once.
1036* BadassBookworm: A professional archaeologist who once survived alone in the jungle for a month.
1037* BadassNormal: In a setting where everyone is either super-powered or super-strong, or possibly both, he has the limitations of a normal human. Doesn't stop him from surviving by himself in the jungle, though.
1038

1040
1041[[folder: Overwatch]]
1042
1043The United Nations Superpowered Peacekeeper Task Force, a.k.a. the "Overwatch", is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: the sub-division of the Department of Peacekeeping Operations that is in charge of superpowered crime-fighting, assistance in humanitarian operations, and similar objectives. It is '''[[VideoGame/{{Overwatch}} that]]''' "Overwatch", reborn like a Phoenix, with a hefty amount of initial membership thanks to multiple Alternates of the original crew and the members of the Wildstorm Comics team ComicBook/{{Stormwatch}}... and rising.\
1044\
1045The world could always use more heroes...
1046
1047!!Tropes for the group as a whole:
1048
1049* CompositeCharacter: InUniverse, its membership expanded by absorbing another United Nations superpowered task-force: the ComicBook/{{Stormwatch}}.
1050* ALighterShadeOfBlack: The reason the Overwatch reactivation meant absorbing Stormwatch: while Overwatch had its fair share of bad decisions (ex. the creation of Blackwatch), it still was nothing compared to having Henry Bendix as a leader, or so the Wildstorm Fictions say (and they can provide [[MiseryPoker way too many examples]] to support that)
1051* MultinationalTeam: The canon of all teams that compose the reborn Overwatch has plenty of members from all over the world... and even odd places like the Moon.
1052* PuttingTheBandBackTogether: Suffice to say that this went much more smoothly than in the canon ''Overwatch'' universes.
1053* RedeemingReplacement: The story of the original Overwatch, to make a long story short, had a lot of blemishes that eventually led to the group falling apart and its members to be declared outlaws. This version of the Overwatch tries its damnedest to be heroes.
1054%%* UnitedNationsIsASuperpower: Yeah, this one goes without saying.
1055[[/folder]]
1056
1057%%Needs at least one trope with context[[folder: Universal Augmentations Academy]]
1058
1059%%Universal Augmentations. U.A. "Yuuei". "Hero". It's a nice little case of FunWithAcronyms, right?\
1060%%\
1061%%Maybe. It really depends on your point of view.\
1062%%\
1063%%On the Core Timeline, "[[Manga/MyHeroAcademia Quirks]]" are one of the many ways that Fictions can show superpowers. Like all other superpowers, Quirks need to be analyzed and trained, both for the safety of the user and the people around him. There are many who wish to be heroes, but others would prefer to learn how to unlock their full potential and pass the grade so they can move on to more personally interesting goals.\
1064%%\
1065%%There are many schools around the world that provide this particular venue of education. But U.A. has come from the figurative rear of the pack and is reaching for a top place.\
1066%%\
1067%%It has not been easy. The curriculum and testing methods had to change quite a lot to accommodate multiple means of empowerment, and trying to reduce the ostracization that comes from powers that don't scream "hero" (either at all or in the "frontline fighter" sense) at first glance. It had to accommodate many issues that come from multiple copies of the same person taking a class. It had to accommodate the fact that anybody with a streaming service account knows the top teachers' deepest secrets. It had to accommodate the fact that there are many capital-"V"-because-they-are-''that''-dangerous Villains that would like to burn the place to the ground.\
1068%%\
1069%%But whatever the challenge, the Hero Academy will face it head-on.\
