Line #319 Characters/DuckDodgers


1	[[foldercontrol]]
2
3	!!Tropes pertaining to multiple characters:
4	* NotSoAboveItAll: While Dodgers is rightfully looked down upon for blatant incompetence, among other flaws, ''all'' of the cast members have noticeable quirks that can often interfere with the mission at hand.
5	* WeWantOurJerkBack:
6	** The episode "Clean Bill of Health" has IQ Hi used a "detoxifier" on Duck Dodgers, purging him of all of his bodily imperfections. The result? A fit, intelligent, well-groomed, muscular and diligent Duck Dodgers. However, he grows to sour on everyone as his proactive and focused nature means he's pretty unrelatable to everyone and budges in on them: The Cadet is bothered DD doesn't enjoy the simple fancies of life, Star Johnson is bothered by DD showing him up, IQ Hi for DD being so good that he begins overtaking ''his'' job and the Martians because well, he's a much larger threat to them. They work to "retoxifiy" him after Dodgers begins forcefully going to wake people at dawn out of concern for a "laziness" epidemic. As such, he became so ideal that he was unable to relate to the normalcy of others.
7	** Also, in the episode where Dodgers quits The Protectorate to work at a fast food joint, after his constant harassment from his RoguesGallery, among other annoyances drives him away, The Cadet shows up at the end of the episode to invite him back into the fold with no explanation for why The Protectorate would ''want'' him back beyond it's just not the same without him.
8	** After The Martians replace Dodgers' brain with an artificial one that ends up making the duck ''more'' competent. The Cadet eventually puts two-and-two together by the end of the episode, after they have recovered Dodgers' brain, and realizes the artificial brain has made his captain a better hero... but neglects to bring this up, in favor of having Dodgers return to his old self.

13	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/snapshot_5.png]]
14	'''Played by:''' Creator/JoeAlaskey
15
16	The titular "hero" of the series, Dodgers is a captain in the protectorate who was revived by I.Q. Hi after being frozen for four and a half centuries. Despite I.Q.'s hopes for Dodgers to be a useful asset, he's at best a wild card for the protectorate; Generally Dodgers is ''highly'' incompetent, unprofessional, [[ItsAllAboutMe self absorbed]], and amoral but he ''does'' have the occasional moment of [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass genuine competence]]. Occasional being the key word.
17	----
18	* AbsurdPhobia: Apparently Duck Dodgers fears pillow shams, home decor (of all things), fruit, vegetables, exercising, taxes and mathematics. These are lies on Dodgers part, however, as Dodgers was seen performing mathematical equations in "The Queen is Wild".
19	* AdaptationalBadass: Duck Dodgers in this show has had more victories, combat skill, and even moments of competences compared to the original shorts.
20	** AdaptationalDumbass: However, he's also lost a good number of IQ points. While Dodgers in the original short did tend to miss a few vital details, he wasn't actually stupid. In this show he's a certified CloudCuckoolander who, depending on the episode, swings between being a GeniusDitz and a straight-up Ditz.
21	** AdaptationalHeroism: ''However'', despite the traditional Daffy Duck selfishness and narcissism, he does have a nobler side to his character. His Jerkass moments stem from his tendency to get carried away by his base desires, or forgetting that he's not the only actual person in the universe. On the occasions when he manages to overcome these tendencies he can be downright heroic.
22	* ArchEnemy: With The Martian Commander X-2. Fully played as a relationship in "Enemy Yours" where Dr. Woe supplants Dodgers and Dodgers doing everything to get X-2 "back." So much so he wastes no time in saving him and the Queen from Woe since only he gets to defeat the Martians.
23	* AttractiveBentGender: Subverted when he tries to get past a guard using this, only for him to not go for it, at which point [[MundaneSolution he just bribes the guard]]. Though The Cadet is a bit more successful.
24	* BigEater: When he's not sleeping around, he's generally stuffing his face.
25	* BlueIsHeroic: His suit color is blue and while [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold he is usually a jerk, he is shown to maintain a heroic side]].
26	* BunnyEarsLawyer: Dodgers' laziness, idiocy, greed, and general ineptness are often very much a liability to The Protectorate. But, he does end up coming through in the end ''just'' often enough for them to keep him around. Like in the first episode, where he manages to stop a Martian attack on Earth, by [[CrazyEnoughToWork firing cargo load of potatoes into their canons, clogging them]]... after he had put The Earth in danger by overloading its defense shields.
27	* CaptainSpaceDefenderOfEarth: He ''did'' start out as a parody of [[Series/BuckRogersInTheTwentyFifthCentury Buck Rogers]] after all.
28	* CasanovaWannabe: He tries to get with every beautiful woman he meets, to no success. Ironically, the two beautiful women who are ready to ''throw themselves'' at him, Tyr'ahnee and the New Cadet Soren, he completely disregards.
29	* CharacterDevelopment: In the season two finale ''You Know This Means War and Peace'', Dodgers possibly the first time in the series, starts to feel genuine guilt after [[spoiler:throwing The Cadet under the bus to save himself]] and eventually realizes how much The Cadet actually means to him, eventually leading to being willing to perform a ''{{Heroic Sacrifice}}'' and orders The Cadet to leave to save himself.
30	--> '''Dodgers:''' I'll raise this crate or die trying!
31	--> '''Cadet:''' N-n-no, we will.
32	--> '''Dodgers:''' I gave you an order, Mister!
33	--> '''Cadet:''' C-cheerfully disobeyed, Captain.
34	--> '''Dodgers:''' [[Heartwarming/DuckDodgers Thanks, buddy. Good to have you back.]]
35	** [[spoiler: Sadly, this development is erased come Season 3]].
36	* CloudCuckoolander: In one episode we get to see inside his mind and he still makes no more sense than before.
37	* CorneredRattlesnake: Zig-zagged. Usually, his achievements hinge on whether his life or reputation are on the line, but even then, it doesn't guarantee he's successful at the mission at hand.
38	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Despite normally being an incompetent idiot, Dodgers does have occasional moments of cleverness and badassery. Most notably in "The Spy That Didn't Love Me", where he's so focused on hooking up with the titular sexy spy, he apparently forgets to screw up, because his part of the plan (blowing up the tower controlling a robot army) goes along seamlessly.
39	* DirtyCoward: Often, Dodgers' first response to trouble is to seek an escape, most notably in the beginning of "You Know This Means War and Peace," where he readily agrees to have the Cadet be his scapegoat. That said, he does have the occasional moment of genuine bravery, most notably ''[[CharacterDevelopment Of Course You Know This Means War and Peace]]''.
40	* FakeUltimateHero: The Martian Queen (initially) believes Dodgers less than heroic attributes and general idiocy are [[ObfuscatingStupidity part of a cunning ploy]] and he's really a brilliant hero, causing her to fall for him... and become disappointed when I.Q. informs her how wrong she is. Though that said, she still has feelings for the duck, and [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass considering how often he ends up saving the day]] her initial impression may not have been ''entirely'' wrong.
41	* {{Foil}}: To the Martian Commander, X-2. Captain Dodgers is a self-serving, highly in-professional, incompetent, and shamelessly lazy leader, that none the less has the UndyingLoyalty of his sole subordinate, while X-2 is a very loyal, professional, (comparably) competent, and hardworking leader, that none the less get [[NoRespectGuy no respect from the army of robots under his command]].
42	* FriendlyEnemies: With the Martian Commander X-2. In one episode, convinced that they're both about to die, the Martian admits that Dodgers is his best friend. Dodgers, of course, responds "[[KickTheDog Ha! What a loser!]]" However, in another, when Dodgers learns that the Martian considers the MadScientist Dr Woe to be his archenemy, he reacts with jealousy like X-2 is cheating on him. It has even been shown that under right circumstances, Dodgers and X-2 (plus The Cadet) make a pretty good team, like when they were both coincidentally trying to infiltrate the same crew of SpacePirates, where they even make their getaway together and seem to have actually ''enjoyed'' fighting their way out together.
43	* HeavySleeper: He can sleep for ''days''. The Martians concoct and execute their plans while he's still asleep.
44	* HiddenDepths: Dodgers is well-versed in law and can be surprisingly competent at doing missions at times (I.E. The Spy Who Didn't Love Me).
45	** Also, while he doesn't show it often, he ''does'' genuinely care about The Cadet.
46	* HumanPopsicle: This is part of his backstory, as befitting a Buck Rodgers parody. Though this doesn't seem too [[AngstWhatAngst affected by this]] and the exact reasons behind [[NoodleIncident how this ended up happening to him are never really touched on]].
47	* InsufferableImbecile: Dodgers seems to be quite the arrogant jerk and he doesn’t seem too intelligent either.
48	* ItsAllAboutMe: Generally, he's not interested in doing heroics, unless it benefits himself in some fashion.
49	* JerkassRealization: Part of his character development in "You Know This Means War And Peace". See above.
50	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While Duck Dodgers usually fits the jerk portion of the trope more than anything, it is occasionally shown that he does care about The Cadet and others.
51	* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Most of the time. For example, he takes advantage of the queen's feelings to defeat her, and he doesn't care about Roboto's sacrifice. For the final season, any heart of gold he may have had has vanished.
52	* KickTheDog: After ditching the Martian Queen at their own wedding and she hesitates to shoot his ship down, instead of using it as a chance to reconcile (as suggested by The Cadet), he uses it as an opportunity to shoot her ship.
53	** Commander X-2 gets a majority of the kicking. For example: when they were both stranded on a deserted island, X-2 admitted to Dodgers that he saw the duck as his best friend. How did Dodgers respond? By mocking him for being friends with a duck. Another time, when X-2 said he had a deep-rooted fear of heights, Dodgers laughed and deliberately dangled him from a high height.
54	* TheLoad: After being forced into an EnemyMine with X-2, after they end of stranded on an island together, Dodgers turns out to be such a liability,(at one point using their fresh water supply to ''take a bath'') X-2 eventually pretty much says screw it and takes off to try to survive on his own.
55	* MadeOfIron: Like WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck and many other WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes before him, Duck Dodgers can take '''a lot''' of abuse and keep on going.
56	* ManChild: Dodgers is immature, ''[[{{Pun}} foul]]'' tempered, short-sighted, and so lazy, it seems like The Cadet's his caretaker half the time.
57	* MeanBoss: It’s not as bad as the usual example, but while Dodgers does care about the Cadet, he doesn't treat him well for the most part. Not only does he constantly shirk all his duties and make the Cadet do all the work, but he also has a tendency to insult and belittle him, not to mention hog all the glory for himself when the Cadet has saved the day.
58	* TheMillstone: Dodgers zig-zags this. While he often causes the trouble of that particular episode (or makes it worse), he's also usually the one who saves the day in the end, and can be quite competent when he's not screwing up.
59	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: He sabotages a peace treaty between Earth and Mars because he doesn't want to be out of a job, which gives Z-9 the chance to enact his EvilPlan to rule both planets.
60	* NominalHero: He’s generally this, being a self-serving and amoral jerk and all. Though he can also vary from this, JerkWithAHeartOfGold on a good day, and outright VillainProtagonist on a bad day.
61	* ObfuscatingStupidity: Averted or played straight depending on the author, but it's usually the former. This is what Queen Tyr'ahnee suspects he's doing.
62	* OffendedByAnEnemysIndifference: Marvin greatly wounds Dodgers when he tells him he's not his ArchNemesis. In fact, he says Dodgers doesn't even rate his top ten. Dodgers spends the rest of the episode trying to get acknowledged, eventually rescuing the Martian Queen from the nefarious Doctor Woe while wearing armor clearly inspired by [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Doctor Doom]], with EyeBeams.
63	* PetTheDog: In "Duck Codgers" when he and Cadet are aging into dust, and X-2 is aging in reverse, he saves both of them by taking them to the spring that undoes the effects rather than just walking in himself.
64	* SmallNameBigEgo: While he ''is'' pretty well known among both the Earth and Martian militaries, most people understandably don't have ''nearly'' as high an opinion of him as he has of himself.
65	** Subverted in "To Love A Duck", where he briefly gained the Martians' praise after he successfully passed all three trials needed to marry Queen Tyr'ahnee.
66	* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: Exactly how strong and competent the Dodgers are often varies from episode to episode.
67	** Sometimes Dodgers is genuinely competent despite his clumsiness, and other times he's a complete chump who just wins by luck.
68	** Dodgers is sometimes so weak that he cannot beat even the weakest enemies, while in other cases he is a competent fighter, being able to fight on equal terms against enemies as formidable as the Martian Queen.
69	* ThrowTheDogABone: The end of "Diamond Boogie" sees Dodgers receive a passionate smooch on the lips from the foxy lady detective he teamed up with for the episode.
70	-->'''Duck Dodgers:''' Far out man!
71	* TooDumbToLive: Shown to be this on numerous occasions, such as in "Big Bug Mamas" when he willingly goes along with what the alien invaders are doing without question, after seeing that they are (seemingly) a race of beautiful tribal women, despite both the planet's natives (who he was supposed to ''liberating'' from them) and The Cadet trying to warn him how dangerous they are. And while he and X-2 were stranded on an island together and almost die of starvation, it's revealed [[spoiler:he had a cell phone ''the whole time'', didn't think to use it]].
72	* TookALevelInJerkass: For the final season, any heart of gold he may have had has vanished.
73	* VillainProtagonist: His greed, pride, and jealousy can cause a lot of problems, as he sometimes goes out of his way to make situations worse if it benefits him.

76	[[folder:The Eager Young Space Cadet]]
77	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/snapshot_6.png]]
78	'''Played by:''' Creator/BobBergen
79
80	Captain Duck Dodgers' loyal right hand pig and [[OddlySmallOrganization the only other crewmen of the ship]]. Despite being of lower rank, The Cadet is more often than not the ''far'' more competent and hardworking of the two, as well the more noble. Though he is for most part, very loyal to his captain, The Cadet is far from unaware of Dodgers' flaws and does enjoy poking fun at the duck from time to time.
81	----
82	* AlmightyJanitor: In "Win, Lose, or Duck", he says he was tricked into applying for the Academy by an advert. Despite being more competent than his Captain, he doesn't make all that much.
83	* AttractiveBentGender: Or at least X-2 thinks so. "She" also speaks with a southern accent.
84	* BeleagueredAssistant: To Captain Dodgers, who would likely not be able to function, if not for The Cadet having to take care of him.
85	* BewareTheNiceOnes: While he's one of the nicest people in the show, he's also the most competent at his job.
86	* BrokenPedestal: In ''You Know This Means War and Peace'', he [[spoiler: loses all of his respect and admiration for Dodgers after the latter betrays him.]] [[RebuiltPedestal This is undone by the end of the special]].
87	* ChickMagnet: In contrast to his Casanova wannabe captain, The Cadet has managed to smitten many a GirlOfTheWeek without even trying.
88	* DeadpanSnarker: Similar to [[WesternAnimation/DuckDodgersInTheTwentyFourthAndAHalfCentury the original short]], one of the Eager Young Space Cadet's duties seems to act as this to his captain.
89	--> '''Space Cadet:''' D-don't you want y-your soul enriched? Or at least l-l-located?
90	* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Presuming his name isn't ''really'' [[HisNameReallyIsBarkeep The Eager Young Space Cadet]], he's this. Though it's also possible that his name Porky Pig, given Porky's his "[[AnimatedActor actor]]", but it isn't confirmed either way.
91	* HyperCompetentSidekick: He's basically the only reason the ship remains functional and why his captain hasn't gotten himself killed yet.
92	* MoralityPet: Zig-zagged. He acts as this to Dodgers to an extent... mostly for not.
93	* NotSoAboveItAll: While he's generally much more professional then Dodgers every now and again he'll get in on the fun, like in one episode where Dodgers deliberately avoids answering a call from IQ making him think his screen is broken and Cadet is shown laughing at IQ's breakdown.
94	* OddNameOut: His real name has never been revealed and his nickname is absurdly long.
95	* PorkyPigPronunciation: Fittingly he has this.
96	* SpaceCadet: Not the typical example, as he doesn't aspire to be a [[CaptainSpaceDefenderOfEarth Captain of the Protectorate]], but he still qualifies.
97	* UndyingLoyalty: Again, to Captain Dodgers, who he loyally follows despite usually being mistreated and given no respect, and having to do most of the work around the ship. This finally wavers in ''You Know This Means War and Peace'', after Dodgers [[spoiler:allows The Cadet to go to prison for something ''he'' did, after they swore they would stick together no matter what]]. After this, The Cadet finally loses ''all'' respect for his [[spoiler:former]] captain and only agrees to work with him, because Earth and Mars are in danger. Though luckily by the end of it all, Dodgers finally learns how important The Cadet is to him and redeems himself, at which point The Cadet happily goes back to him.

101	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/snapshot_11.png]]
102	'''Played by:''' Creator/RichardMcGonagle
103
104	The scientist who revived Duck Dodgers from his frozen stasis, afterwards recruiting the duck into The Protectorate. He also serves as Dodgers' and possibly the rest of The Protectorate's ''de facto'' boss.
105	----
106	* BigGood: He's the one that unfroze Duck Dodgers (believing the duck to be a hero that could help protect people) and is the closest thing we're shown to a leader for The Protectorate.
107	* DitzyGenius: Dr. Hi has his moments, like when he ventured into Dodgers's mind to get a MacGuffin hidden within it and ends up in a bait shop within Dodgers's mind (ItMakesSenseInContext...kind of), he insists on buying something that serves no practical purpose in the bait shop that only exists within Dodgers' mind and therefore, would cease to exist once they leave anyway.
108	* FriendlyEnemies: With The Martian Queen.
109	* MeaningfulName: Being a scientist, it only makes sense for him to have a ''high I.Q.''
110	* NoodleIncident: Has had quite a few that are mentioned once and then never again.
111	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Usually depicted as this, but he also has his [[DitzyGenius moments]].
112	* ScienceHero: He's the leader of the good guys and a scientist.
113	* QuestGiver: Dr. Hi is usually the one giving mission statements to the rest.

116	[[folder:Captain Star Johnson]]
117	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/snapshot_18.png]]
118	'''Played by:''' Creator/JohnOHurley
119
120	A fellow Captain of The Protectorate and rival to Duck Dodgers.
121	----
122	* AcePilot: Shows his skills as a pilot in the season 2 finale by taking out several martian ships single-handedly.
123	* BlueIsHeroic: His uniform and allegiance evokes this.
124	* CaptainSpaceDefenderOfEarth: Like Dodgers, except he actually ''looks'' the part.
125	* {{Foil}}: He's basically the ideal image of a space hero, to play off Dodgers.
126	* HeroicBuild: Tall and with the classic V-shaped torso.
127	* JerkassToOne: Mostly a jerk towards Dodgers.
128	* JerkassHasAPoint: Downplayed, as the "jerkass" part comes from Dodgers' perspective. Johnson wasn't lying when he said Dodgers was incompetent and caused trouble for the Protectorate.
129	* TheRival: He is this for Duck Dodgers. They compete for the best captaincy and for the ladies. Not that it should be much of a competition, but it often is.
130	[[/folder]]
131
132	[[folder:Captain Aurora Soleil]]
133
134	A competent Captain of the Protectorate. Both Duck Dodgers and Star Johnson try to impress her.
135	----
136	* ActionGirl: Noted for being one of the most capable Captains in the Protectorate.
137	* CaptainSpaceDefenderOfEarth: Out of every captain seen on the show, she has the most achievements and was awarded "Captain of the Year".
138	* PinkHeroine: Has a bit of pink on her outfit.
139	* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Rebuffs Star Johnson and Dodgers in favor of the Cadet.

145
146	A popstar that Dodgers falls head over heels for.
147	----
148	* EveryoneLovesBlondes: Or at least Dodgers likes her. Probably because of her face, not her hair.
149	* {{Expy}}: If this wasn't Warner Bros, you could say she's Jem. [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/jem/images/c/c5/Jemmm_gurl.png/revision/latest?cb=20151212213331 see for yourself]].
150	* HeadTurningBeauty: What Dodgers thinks when he first sees her.
151	* MagicIdolSinger: While it's not clarified if she's an idol singer, she must be magical because she floats.
152	* OnlyOneName: Just goes by "Cassiopeia".
153	* PinkHeroine: She wears a pink outfit.
154	* PinkMeansFeminine: As stated above, she wears a pink outfit. Also, there is a pink aura that surrounds her during her show.
155	* TameHisAnger: When Dodgers accidentally dumps leeches on her head... after setting her hair on fire... because he was too busy trying to seduce her.

201	[[folder:Commander X-2]]
202	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/snapshot_7.png]]
203	'''Played by:''' Creator/JoeAlaskey
204
205	The primary commander of The Martian forces and Duck Dodgers' biggest rival.
206	----
207	* AbusiveParents: X-2's father used to dangle him from the balcony as a child for publicity.
208	* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Marvin the Martian is polite, soft-spoken, and TheStoic. Commander X-2 is also polite, but expressive and a DeadpanSnarker. Marvin holds an interest in science while X-2 doesn't care much about it. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], as Marvin is playing the character X-2 rather than acting as himself.
209	* ADayInTheLimelight: He has a couple of these. LampShaded by Dodgers, who says he's entitled to one a season. Though sadly, he doesn't get one in Season 3.
210	* AffablyEvil: He's a FriendlyEnemy with Dodgers and is polite with everyone else. Despite mistaking K-9's attempts to save him as the canine meddling with his plans in both of his [[ADayInTheLimelight days in the limelight]], he loves his dog regardless. He also refuses to harm children.
211	* ArchEnemy: To Duck Dodgers. Though he tries to deny it early on, claiming that Dodgers is one of his lesser enemies ([[FoeRomanceSubtext to Dodgers' chagrin]]), he does later acknowledge the duck as his biggest enemy.
212	* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: Averted. He loves K-9, in spite of moments where he thinks his dog is an idiot.
213	* CombatPragmatist: As expected of the primary commander of the Martian forces. He is often the one initiating [[EnemyMine team-ups]] with his enemies in order to fight against a bigger threat. He's not above using dirty tactics in order to win.
214	* TheDragon: To the Queen. Though he is briefly upstaged by Z-9 in ''You Know This Means War and Peace", he's back to being second-in-command after the latter's betrayal is revealed.
215	* DeadpanSnarker: As he's usually around Dodgers, this is to be expected.
216	* EvenEvilHasStandards: In "Where's Baby Smarty Pants" he threatens to drop the baby philosopher he and The Cadet over into a grinder, until the baby starts crying and X-2 calms him down while admitting he was bluffing. Right afterwards when The Cadet demands he hand the baby over, X-2 reminds him the baby is asleep so he doesn't make too much noise.
217	** In the finale of the second season, X-2 is in full support of Mars making peace and is horrified at Z-9's plot.
218	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Deeply cares for his dog, his mother, and his love, Queen Tyr'ahnee.
219	* EvilBrit: The Martians all speak with British accents.
220	* EvilVirtues: X-2 has several of these.
221	** Loyalty: Serves both the interest of Mars and stomachs every single order the queen ever gives him, even when she decides to make Dodgers her future husband. Part of this is because he is infatuated with the queen.
222	** Resourcefulness: While it doesn’t come up often, X-2 can be quite cunning at times, once tricking Dodgers into calling off his engagement to the Martian Queen, though admittedly, that wasn’t too hard given Dodgers’ lacking in intelligence.
223	* FrontlineGeneral: Technically just a commander, but X-2 is always on the front of whatever military operation the Martians are up to.
224	* FoeRomanceSubtext: In the finale of the first season, he denies that Dodgers is his ArchEnemy, much to Dodgers' frustration. When Dodgers defeats the villain X-2 sees as his real greatest enemy, and talks about being the ArchEnemy to Tyr'ahnee, X-2 gets mad saying he thought he and Dodgers were sworn enemies.
225	* {{Foil}}: To Captain Duck Dodgers. Captain Dodgers is a self-serving, highly in-professional, incompetent, and shamelessly lazy leader, that none the less has the UndyingLoyalty of his sole subordinate, while X-2 is a very loyal, professional, (comparably) competent, and hardworking leader, that none the less get [[NoRespectGuy no respect from the army of robots under his command]].
226	* FriendlessBackground: Aside from Dodgers, The Cadet, and Queen Tyr'ahnee, he virtually has no friends. Compounded at his [[spoiler: bachelor party and wedding, where Dodgers and The Cadet are the only ones to show up at the former while the seats at his wedding are filled with Martian Centurions rather than friends and family]].
227	* FriendlyEnemies: Him and Dodgers are this when they aren't trying to kill each other at the moment. At one point, while they thought they were going to die together on a [[spoiler:seemingly]] deserted island, X-2 admits that he considers Dodgers ''his best friend''.
228	* HiddenDepths: X-2 is a novice gourmet chef, sculpts clay unicorns and loves singing.
229	** When faced with a choice between following his duty or his friends, he will always choose his responsibility. It might be the reason why his friend list is limited to [[FriendlyEnemies Dodgers and the Cadet]] despite his otherwise polite persona.
230	* HopelessSuitor: To Queen Tyr'ahnee. He was rejected by her [[spoiler: ''at their own wedding'']].
231	* MommasBoy: PlayedForLaughs. He constantly messages his mother, and becomes concerned when she doesn't respond in a few hours. She is thoroughly unamused at his attachment.
232	* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Is prone to this, like when he went back in time to sabotage Dodgers' College Football career, because he believed it was the point in his life that lead to him becoming the enemy he knows, but upon learning he was wrong about Dodgers' having a successful football career and the duck was in-fact, just the water boy, [[MotiveDecay X-2 goes out of his way to]] ''[[MotiveDecay make]]'' [[MotiveDecay Dodgers a great football player rather than suck up his pride and admit he was wrong]].
233	* NoNameGiven: Like Cadet, he's only known by his title. It's a minor RunningGag, where Dodger usually refers to him by random insults like "bucket head" or just [[HeyYou generic pronouns]].
234	* NoRespectGuy: To the robots under his command.
235	* RealMenWearPink: See HiddenDepths above. He also often ends up doing the cleaning around his ship.
236	* TheRival: To Dodgers, both on the battlefield and for the queen's heart, although the latter is one-sided.
237	* TraumaButton: Being dangled from someplace high, courtesy of his father. [[spoiler: Thankfully, he becomes able to manage it after "The Fudd"]].
238	* UndyingLoyalty: To the Queen and Mars.

246	----
247	* ActionPet: Subverted. He's willing to put his life on the line for X-2, but he wasn't trained for fighting.

256
257	The ruler of Mars.
258	----
259	* ActionGirl[=/=]DarkActionGirl: While she generally leaves combat to her military and ended up serving as a DamselInDistress at least once, she is shown to be a formidable fighter in in both hand-to-hand and vehicular combat from time to time.
260	* AffablyEvil: She's a ReasonableAuthorityFigure to Mars (her obsession with Dodgers notwithstanding) and is on friendly terms with I.Q. Hi despite being enemies.
261	* BenevolentBoss: She treats her subordinates well and is forgiving to X-2 despite his repeated failures. The only time she's gotten mad with him was when she found he was [[StableTimeLoop responsible]] [[NiceJobFixingItVillain for the moment where Dodgers became their greatest enemy]], or when she wanted to propose to Dodgers and got angry at X-2 for hurting him- even though she told him to kidnap Dodgers in the first place and didn't bother explaining that she wanted to marry Dodgers.
262	* BeautifulSingingVoice: Sings a beautiful rendition of "Blues in the Night".
263	* BigBad: She's ostensibly this.
264	* [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Black Skinned Space Babe]]: She is one.
265	* ChainmailBikini: Subverted. Despite her skimpy default outfit, when she is prepared for a battle, she dons much more practical armor.
266	* CurbStompBattle: On the winning end of one against Counselor Dish.
267	* DudeMagnet: Her steamy performance of "Blues In The Night" drives this point home. By the end damn near every guy in the audience is lining up to ask her out and/or propose marriage.
268	* EvenEvilHasStandards: While he was trying to overthrow her, she is also opposed to Z-9's plot to conquer Earth after she had made peace with the Galactic Protectorate.
269	* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: In almost all of her appearances she simply called referred to as "The Queen of Mars" when introduced and is almost never referred to by her actual name. We don't actually hear her name spoken on screen until mid way through season 2.
270	* FemmeFatale: She's not afraid to use her feminine wiles, when it suits her.
271	* FriendlyEnemies: With I.Q. Hi. Despite being on opposite sides of an intrasolar war, they get along very well.
272	* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Subverted. Despite her name being a play on the word tyranny and being her being the leader of the main enemies to Earth and the heroes, Queen Tyr'ahnee is nothing but beloved on her home planet. The planets Mars invades, on the other hand...
273	* MeaningfulName: Her name is a pun on "tyranny". Other then being on the side opposing Earth and our heroes, she's not shown to be particularly villainous and there's no evidence that The Martians are unhappy under her rule. However, every planet that was conquered by Mars is shown to chafe under her rule.
274	* MsFanservice: Ebony skin, silken white hair, a brass bikini top, see-through skirt, and frequent episodes of nightgowns and other fetishistic costumes.
275	* MusclesAreMeaningless: She has a lithe body type, but can still kick the head off a robot with ease.
276	* ObliviousToLove: She had no idea that X-2 loved her until Z-9 directly told her, despite the commanders’ years of servitude and utter devotion to her.
277	* OrcusOnHisThrone: Most of her appearances have her giving orders to X-2. She's only gotten involved herself when trying to get revenge on Dodgers for dumping her or when she's personally threatened.
278	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Barring her bizarre fixation on Dodgers, she's generally one of the more level-headed characters and seems to genuinely want what's best for her planet, even if she has to [[EnemyMine band together with sworn enemies]].
279	* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: She's not only an effective politician, but is absolutely brutal in hand-to-hand combat.
280	* TheSmurfettePrinciple: She's the only recurring female character in the cast.
281	* VillainousCrush: On Duck Dodgers. Even after he dumps her, she still shows signs of falling for him.
282	* WomanScorned: After Duck Dodgers ends up dumping her in "To Love a Duck", she ends up swearing revenge on him in return.
283	* WomenAreWiser: Obsession with Dodgers aside, Tyr'ahnee is one of, if not ''the'' sanest and most levelheaded characters in the cast, as well as the only prominent female character in the series.

288	'''Played by:''' Creator/MichaelDorn
289
290	An army of robots and the backbone of The Martian Military. Generally they are just an army of faceless minions, but they are shown to be capable independent thought, at least to an extent. One or more of them are often used when the show needs more Martian characters to play off of than just X-2 and Queen Tyr'ahnee.
291	----
292	* AffablyEvil: Being jerks with to X-2 aside, they are shown to be [[PunchClockVillain Punch Clock Villains]] who are nice to be around.
293	* FriendlyEnemies: Similar to their respective superiors, the Centurions are shown to be this with The Cadet on at least one occasion.
294	* JerkAssToOne: They don't like their commander and mock him behind his back. They are otherwise polite.
295	* ManipulativeBastard: At one point, they give their commander fake orders, so they can go on vacation and leave X-2 with all the work. And it's implied that this is far from the first time they pulled something like this.
296	* MechaMooks: They are this. They make a major portion of the Martian Military and are the ones who usually invade and maintain control over planets. Interestingly, they have independent personalities.
297	* RobotSoldier: They're robots built by the Martians to serve as the bulk of their military forces.
298	* UndyingLoyalty: To the Martian Queen.

304
305	General Z-9 is a member of the Martian High Command and the main antagonist in Season 2.
306	----
307	* AmbitionIsEvil: Unlike the typical PunchClockVillain on Mars, he has ambitions to rule the planet, on top of conquering Earth.
308	* AssholeVictim: After he's defeated he's put in prison with a huge prisoner who decides to play "Toy Soldier" with him. He's last seen getting beat up.
309	* BigBad: Of the Season 2 finale ''Of Course You Know This Means War And Peace''.
310	* BitchInSheepsClothing: Oh, is he ever. Despite parading around as a courteous hero, he treats X-2 like garbage, manipulates Tyr'ahnee into trusting him, is willing to sacrifice his own troops in order get a chance to invade Earth, and plans on eating Dodgers after killing him. Unlike previous examples, the last one ''isn't'' PlayedForLaughs.
311	* EatingTheEnemy: When he has Dodgers cornered, he makes a comment on how he plans to eat him.
312	--> '''Z-9:''' "I think I'll make a special addition to my victory banquet: one duck, ''extra crispy.''"
313	* EvilCounterpart: To Star Johnson as X-2's more handsome and conventionally villainous rival.
314	* {{Foil}}: To X-2. Both are high-ranking members of the Martian High Command vying for Tyr'ahnee's attention. The key difference is that Z-9's doing it for power while X-2 does it out of genuine affection.
315	* HeroicBuild: He is muscular and imposing, the very image of a hero. Too bad he’s also a backstabbing jerkass.
316	* IcyBlueEyes: Very cold and brutal.
317	* JerkAss: He comes off as cordial in public, but he's mean to everyone else behind the negotiation table, especially towards X-2.
318	* KnightOfCerebus: He usurps the throne of Mars from Queen Tyr'ahnee, brands X-2 as a criminal to be killed on sight, and manipulates the peace treaty signing to get the codes to Earth's defense satellites. When he can't get through, he is willing and happy to [[WeHaveReserves sacrifice his own troops to attack the Earth]].
319	* LoveInterestTraitor: Acts as one to Queen Tyr'ahnee.
320	* RememberTheNewGuy: Despite being a main drive of the Season 2 finale and a high-ranking officer in the Martian militia, he only appears in the finale.
321	* TheStarscream: Tries to take over Mars from Queen Tyr'ahnee.
322	* VilerNewVillain: In sharp contrast to the AffablyEvil X-2 and Queen Tyr'ahnee he is truly evil, plotting to end any chance for peace between Earth and Mars so he can conquer both planets.
323	* VileVillainSaccharineShow: As Looney Tunes villains go, he's pretty dark.

332	* DarkActionGirl: She isn't afraid to get her hands dirty, and can easily defeat several of Marvin's bird henchmen. However, she is no match for Queen Tyr'ahnee.
333	* TheDragon: To Z-9.
334	* FemBot: She has a very feminine design.

379
380	An intergalactic police force armed with rings that enable them to fly and create light constructs of whatever they can think of. Dodgers gets mixed up with them because of a laundromat mix-up with Hal Jordan giving him Jordan's uniform and ring.
381	----
382	* AdaptedOut: Hal Jordan is the main human member of the Corps focused on and cameos are made by John Stewart and Guy Gardner, but Kyle Rayner (the only other human Green Lantern Corpsman who existed at the time the episode aired) doesn't appear at all.
383	* TheCameo: The majority of the Green Lanterns have no dialogue and are only shown very briefly in crowd shots.
384	* {{Crossover}}: The whole purpose of their episode is having a Looney Tunes property cross over with one of DC Comics.
385	* IntelligibleUnintelligible: Unlike his comic counterpart, Ch'p is depicted as communicating through squirrel-like chittering, which the other Lanterns have no problem understanding (how much of this is because of their rings translating any language isn't made clear).
386	* SparedByTheAdaptation: Katma Tui, Ch'p and Tomar Re are still alive when their comic counterparts had long been killed off at the time the episode aired.
