| 3 | !The Team |
| 4 | [[folder: Renka Tindwysra a.k.a. Ferris, the Sliver of Entropy]] |
| 5 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: People are unable to peg her ethnicity as more than "coloured". It's justified by the fact she hails from another dimension, so she's not going to present as a typical African/Indian/Middle Eastern woman. |
| 6 | * AnArmAndALeg: She tries to block a sword swing with her armored forearm, unaware that it’s an [[AbsurdlySharpBlade x-ionized weapon,]] and loses the arm, armor and all. |
| 7 | * BrainyBrunette: She's an absolute beast on the mathematical front. |
| 8 | * BroughtDownToBadass: Even on the occasions she’s been denied her [[FunctionalMagic Feruchemy,]] Renka is still a very fit, experienced, and ruthless melee fighter on her own merits. |
| 9 | ** In the beginning of Season 2, [[spoiler: she can't use Feruchemy or even ''walk'' without support,]] but she's still got a sharp mind; while she's been BroughtDownToNormal, her normal still qualifies her as a Team member. |
| 10 | * CelibateHero: Starts off the story this way, deliberately not looking for any relationships because her life is in no state for one. [[spoiler: As of Season 2, WordOfGod says she starts dating Jimmy Olsen.]] |
| 11 | * CoolBigSis: The slate she fulfills within the Team. It comes naturally after helping to raise a dozen of younger siblings. |
| 12 | * CombatPragmatist: Even more than most of the Team, but also an interesting example because she’s learned MurderIsTheBestSolution does not always apply, especially on Earth. She still goes for headshots, ambush, numerical advantage, and overwhelming firepower if she can get it, but she holds back enough to fit in. |
| 13 | * ComboPlatterPowers: As a full Feruchemist, Renka has 16+ individual powers that all work along similar lines: store a trait in a metal-mind and tap it later for a boost. She can use multiple traits at once in a variety of ways, and she has some indeterminate additional powers as the Sliver of Entropy. |
| 14 | * TheCorrupter: Downplayed, but her influence has pushed the rest of the Team towards actions that are more brutal or grotesque than would otherwise be comfortable. After a few bad experiences, they have learned to think ''very carefully'' before following her ideas and her friends do their best to pull her toward moderation and good, too. |
| 15 | * CuddleBug: She's not afraid to get close, and even weaponizes it as a way to build trust and intimacy with her teammates. |
| 16 | * {{Determinator}}: Having lived through a lot, Ferris can work through agonizing pain and injuries when she has to, and her Feruchemy-granted HealingFactor and other abilities only increases her tendency toward this. |
| 17 | * DrillSergeantNasty: Usually Ferris is very polite, but during her brief stint as TheLeader in India she is far more verbally aggressive and abrasive than usual. It’s justified because everyone feels miserable after surviving yesterday’s attack, and the petty infighting some of them are directing against Aqualad (even after he steps down) risks the success of the mission, so she demands that they stop it. |
| 18 | * EasilyForgiven: Renka’s polite nature and her [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower ability to build emotional bonds]] [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation is probably]] why she gets away with or forgiven for things people would expect the Justice League and associates to come down on far harder than they do. |
| 19 | * ExperiencedProtagonist: After spending her teenage years fighting a CivilWar and generally trying to stay alive, she knows very well how to use her ability to defend herself. |
| 20 | * FishOutOfWater: After leaving Scadrial - quite the CrapsackWorld - for Earth-16, she's naturally bemused and confused about many things. |
| 21 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: She was a homeless, jobless, penniless teenager who signed up under Superman and started wrecking the plans of the Light. Given that she comes from another dimension, they knew literally nothing of her history and methods until they specifically commissioned assignments to find out about her. |
| 22 | ** Ferris went through this in her backstory, going from the 8th daughter of a Terris breeder in a small village to a master of BloodMagic and the Sliver of Entropy, ending up as one of the 3 most dangerous humans alive on Scadrial after [[Literature/MistbornTheOriginalTrilogy the Catascendre.]] |
| 23 | * GirlyBruiser: Her fighting style is extremely physical and brutal, but it doesn't forbid her to enjoy wearing skirts, cooking and emotionally baring herself to her teammates. |
| 24 | * HeartIsAnAwesomePower: What’s one of her most useful abilities? Her duralumin Feruchemy, which allows Renka to store and tap her spiritual connection; she most often uses it to speak the local language by connecting to wherever she happens to be, but it also conveys the ability to quickly form strong emotional bonds with strangers. Superman’s quick willingness to extend trust could be attributed partly to this, as well as her ability to befriend the Team, and she’s used it at various times to calm a raging berserker, talk down the genocidal [[spoiler: Red Volcano]], steal attention from people for a distraction, etc. |
| 25 | * HumanAlien: She and Wally briefly ponder over the possibility of her gods reusing the "human" blueprints to create life on Scadrial. |
| 26 | * IHaveManyNames: The Lady Feruchemist, the Sliver of entropy, creature of anti-life the list goes on. |
| 27 | * LineOfSightName: How she picked her cape alias -- the first thing she saw after landing on Earth was a Ferris Wheel and she found it awesome. |
| 28 | * MassiveNumberedSiblings: She's the eight child of her mother, and the fourth daughter. The children numbered twenty-seven, meaning she had ''fourteen'' sisters and ''thirteen'' brothers. |
| 29 | * MeaningfulName: Played with. Her given name, Renka, doesn’t mean anything that we know of. She does come up with a last name that is a language pun on her mother’s name and her position as an eighth child, but [[InformedAttribute the audience doesn’t speak Scadrese, so we can’t understand the pun.]] |
| 30 | ** At first, because of her language difficulty and metal theme, the Justice League listed her designation as Ferrous. It turns out that no, she meant Ferris as in a Ferris wheel, because she likes them. |
| 31 | * MissionControl: Her main duties while confined to her wheelchair. |
| 32 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: She’s had a long string of these in her backstory, and her heroism now is the result of trying to do better. |
| 33 | ** She’s utterly mortified that she beat Red Arrow up when he was acting out due to MindControl and not responsible for his own actions. |
| 34 | * NightmareFetishist: Has a bit of a taste for the grotesque, which actually helps when... |
| 35 | * RaceFetish: Was the target of one back on Scaderial, she dumped the guy. [[spoiler: When she visits home she's furious to find out the guy's with her sister AND their expecting a child. Renka was too polite to tell said sister the truth about the him.]] |
| 36 | * ShesBack: After months of physical therapy, Ferris fights 7-on-1 and wins to show she’s ready for field duty with the Team. |
| 37 | * SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: She starts dating Jimmy Olsen in Season 2. |
| 38 | * SupernaturalGoldEyes: The narration often insists on their "tawny" shade. |
| 39 | * SuperpowerLottery: Her Feruchemy is extremely versatile. |
| 40 | * TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: If given the opportunity, Ferris will mercilessly deconstruct the opponent's motivation to make them surrender or turn a new leaf. |
| 41 | * {{Teleportation}}: Gains this ability by owning a mystic artifact from Atlantis. |
| 42 | * TheUnfettered: Trying to survive in a CrapsackWorld while CivilWar was in full swing made her this, and Ruin's influence only made it worse. She actually feels reassured when the League and the Team try to restrain her more brutal impulses. |
| 43 | * WillingChanneler: She's ready to surrender her body to Nabu, but he declines since it would be too harmful for her. |
| 44 | [[/folder]] |
| 45 | |
| 46 | [[folder: Dick Grayson a.k.a. Robin]] |
| 47 | * TheAce: The first modern sidekick and inspiration to a generation of kids, with all the expected skills from having 4+ years of experience fighting crime in Gotham. |
| 48 | * TheBabyOfTheBunch: The youngest member of the Team and he has no powers, but he’s capable enough that usually people don’t need to baby him. |
| 49 | * BrainyBrunette: Very smart and with a Batman-taught well rounded education. He excels at detective work and programming or hacking computers. |
| 50 | * BreakTheCutie: In the past, he first was broken by his family’s deaths, then emotional clashes had him attempt suicide during his first year with Bruce. The things he’ve seen in Gotham since then have not been pleasant, and he has guilty qualms about being the only one with a SecretIdentity he keeps from the Team. |
| 51 | * BuffySpeak: Intentionally. English is not his first language, (and he knows several,) so he has fun playing around with word inflection and prefixes to make his own words. Becomes a bonding activity between him and Ferris, as she is also learning English as a Second (sixth) Language. |
| 52 | * TheCharmer: Extremely charismatic and friendly, with a lot of friends who highly value him. |
| 53 | * CircusBrat: Grew up in a circus, where he learned acrobatics, showmanship, makeup skills, etc. |
| 54 | * ClarkKenting: Does it well enough that Artemis can’t figure out who he is. |
| 55 | * CoolShades: Wears them as part of his civilian disguise to stay separate from “Dick Grayson”. |
| 56 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: How he completely ruined his relationship with Zatanna. Since she attended an all-girl school, he crossdressed to visit her, only for them to be walked on while he was kissing her. Which led the other students to label Zatanna a lesbian, in a ''Catholic'' school. Yeah, ouch. |
| 57 | * DissonantLaughter: A side story reveals that this is Invoked intentionally by Robin, in an attempt to stop his creepy Social Services agent from always telling such awful jokes. |
| 58 | * EveryoneCanSeeIt: His immediate and obvious crush on Zatanna amuses most of the rest of the Team; only Ferris is worried because [[EntertaininglyWrong she believes he and Artemis are already dating.]] |
| 59 | * FamedInStory: He's the Boy Wonder, so very popular. |
| 60 | * HappilyAdopted: Note that neither he nor Batman even try to protest when people call him Batman's son. |
| 61 | * HiddenDepths: A hug from Renka almost reduces him to tears because it helped him to remember his mom. |
| 62 | ** Nabu also comments on his strong mystical power and muses he has the potential to be a suitable host. |
| 63 | * HighlyVisibleNinja: Dresses like a traffic light (though the outer lining of his cape is black), and is still the sneakiest person on the Team. |
| 64 | * HollywoodHacking: Can hack most computers and databases, though he usually needs a physical port to plug into, and some protections give him trouble. |
| 65 | * HorrifyingTheHorror: Regularly spooks people [[StealthHiBye by sneaking up on or away from]] them. Nearly suffers a BrownNote in Bialya when an unknown agent sneaks within feet of his back while carrying an unconscious Aqualad. : It’s Ferris, and Aqualad was unconscious from the heat, not injuries.]] |
| 66 | * ProperlyParanoid: Follows up on all sorts of random clues that may or may not mean something; often, the clues are important, but not always. He’s paranoid enough to almost deduce the existence of [[BloodMagic Hemalurgy]], but he isn’t always paranoid enough about what he says to other people. |
| 67 | * RedBaron: He is Robin, the Boy Wonder, and it gets mentioned. He was the first modern sidekick, and an inspiration to many people, and together with Wonder Girl they formed the Wonder Twins for a while. |
| 68 | * UsefulNotes/{{Romani}}: He leaves flowers under the brown triangle memorial when visiting Auschwitz. According WordOfGod, his Rom blood is quite diluted but he chose to identify as this after a social worker told him a "dirty thieving gyp" would amount to nothing but a criminal. |
| 69 | ** There's a small allusion to Roma witchcraft when Doctor Fate briefly takes him as a host and comments on his surprisingly strong potential for the mystic arts. |
| 70 | * SecretIdentity: The ''only one'' to maintain his amongst the Team -- thank you, Bat-paranoia. |
| 71 | * StealthHiBye: One of his trademarks. |
| 72 | [[/folder]] |
| 73 | |
| 74 | [[folder: Kaldur'ahm a.k.a. Aqualad]] |
| 75 | * ApparentlyHumanMerfolk: He’s half modified-human and half gill-graph Atlantean, so he looks very human except for his gills and his webbed fingers. |
| 76 | * BreatherEpisode: He and Renka have one where the title lampshades it: Episode 6 - Inspire, Respire, Expire. It involves the Team’s surprise celebration of Renka’s 20th birthday, and Aqualad’s present is a trip to Atlantis, which also gets her out of the Mountain while they set up the surprise party. Being underwater, [[{{Pun}} breathing]] is also an important plot point. |
| 77 | * BrokenPedestal: Aqualad loses most of the Team’s trust as TheLeader after the thing with TheMole and the invasion of the mountain. The one subversion is Ferris, who is flattered that he didn’t [[ObviouslyEvil just assume she was the mole because of her suspicious history.]] |
| 78 | * CelibateHero: With the discovery that his friend Tula has entered a relationship with his friend Garth, Kaldur [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy bows out politely and wishes them well,]] but he also doesn’t move on; he gave Tula his heart and she still has it. |
| 79 | * TheChainsOfCommanding: Does not enjoy being a leader - neither the responsibilities nor the perks - but takes the position because none of the others are better suited for it (until Robin gets older). |
| 80 | * ChildSoldiers: Enrollment into the Atlantean military is mandatory at a certain age, but most of the students are treated more as being in military school and not sent out to the field until they are older. Kaldur is an exception because of his Aqualad activities by his king’s side. |
| 81 | * DualWielding: Uses two “water-bearers” to create hard water construct weapons. |
| 82 | * ElementalBaggage: He can generate his own bio electricity, but needs an external water source. |
| 83 | * GoodParents: He and Wally are the only members of the Team with two GoodParents who are still alive. [[spoiler: Subverted, in that Calvin Durham is secretly his step-father, his birth father is Black Manta, and his mother is suggested to have a large DarkSecret in her past.]] |
| 84 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: He wishes nothing but a long and fruitful relationship for Tula and Garth in spite of being utterly crushed when he found them making out. |
| 85 | * JackOfAllStats: Weaker than Superboy, less esoteric than Zatanna, less skilled in weapons than Artemis, less skilled in magic than Zatanna, etc., but still skilled in almost every subject. |
| 86 | * TheLeader: In charge of the Team, though they are still under Justice League authority (which doesn’t stop them from occasionally disobeying the League, since that’s how they got started in the first place). |
| 87 | * LineageComesFromTheFather: Played With. Is named after his father, Calvin Durham, [[spoiler: except Calvin is his step-father and Black Manta is his real father,]] and strongly resembles the man but also has traits of his mother and was raised in her native culture. |
| 88 | * LockedOutOfTheLoop: As in canon, he is unaware [[spoiler: that his biological father is Black Manta.]] |
| 89 | ** [[spoiler: A Ten Truths side story says there’s a lot of bad in his mother’s past, too.]] |
| 90 | * MakingASplash: Can use his magic to manipulate water in a variety of ways and shapes. |
| 91 | * MorphWeapon: He favors blades or maces, but his water-bearers can shape water into a multitude of forms. |
| 92 | * NoSell: Fights a SuperpoweredEvilSide as [[OnlyTheWorthyMayPass part of his test]] in the Tower of Fate. He beats it very handily, because it keeps trying to upset him with thoughts about Tula, [[ForWantOfANail except he went back to Atlantis earlier than canon,]] and has already discovered and come to terms with her and Garth’s relationship. |
| 93 | * ObliviousAdoption: Since he genuinely believes Calvin Durham is his father, he's allowed to enter the Tower of Fate when he introduces himself as his parents' child -- but only after the system briefly glitched. |
| 94 | * OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: He protected the Rhelasia Summit with Red Arrow despite Sportsmaster being buffed up [[spoiler: by prior Kobra Venom exposure]] during the attack. |
| 95 | * PairTheSpares: Averted. Despite he and Ferris being two of the older members, the effort he went to for her birthday, his being a SecretKeeper about [[spoiler: her first kill]], and them both being single, they have expressed no romantic interest in each other. |
| 96 | * RageQuit: On top of being miserable and injured after the Red Robot invasion of the mountain, being shunned by most of the Team for keeping a secret about TheMole is the last straw. Ferris is the only one who doesn’t shun him [[NotMeThisTime (because she’s flattered that he didn’t immediately assume it was her when she’s obviously the most suspicious,)]] and she’s been holding everyone together for the past day, so he announces a vote to have her replace him until such time as the team is willing to trust him again. |
| 97 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Will subvert the orders of the Justice League when the Team thinks it’s the right thing to do. |
| 98 | * SecretKeeper: He was the first one to hear [[spoiler:how Renka accidentally killed her eldest brother.]] |
| 99 | [[/folder]] |
| 100 | |
| 101 | [[folder: Wally West a.k.a. Kid Flash]] |
| 102 | * AdaptationalIntelligence: Wally is explicitly treated as a science (and especially chemistry) genius, as well as being the second-best mechanic on the Team. It’s even mentioned in a side-story that Wally recreated the Garrick Formula perfectly twice; the first time, he did it [[GenreSavvy in a heavily insulated basement on a clear sunny day so that he could avoid a lightning strike.]] After learning that the lightning was ''needed'' for it to work, he did it a second time and gained his powers. |
| 103 | ** He also synthesizes his own material for his costume, and is doing more chemistry stuff for the Team. |
| 104 | * AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Subverted. In the original comics, Wally’s parents were abusive, while he is shown to have a happy home life in the Tv show. In this story, it’s revealed that his father was an abusive drunk in Wally’s childhood… until his parents got marriage counseling and his dad went cold turkey on alcohol. Wally has made his peace with this, and they care deeply for each other. |
| 105 | * AgentScully: He rather quickly grows out of it, courtesy of Renka pondering the differences between technology and SufficientlyAnalyzedMagic. |
| 106 | * ArbitrarySkepticism: He doesn’t believe “magic” is real, despite the predominance of supernatural beings on the Justice League, and insists magic-users are fakes whose methods can be explained by science. |
| 107 | ** He grows out of this when it runs into the FunctionalMagic Ferris uses, as she can understand her own magic while she considers Earth’s advanced technology and Wally’s powers to be mystically incomprehensible in comparison. They end up cooperating to run experiments that can scientifically quantify magic powers. |
| 108 | * TheBeard: His first kiss was with a closeted lesbian at his school who was hoping to use him to cover up her homosexuality. |
| 109 | * BigDamnHeroes: Shows up to help Renka out when Black Spider catches her off-guard. |
| 110 | * BigEater: A problem the rest of the Flash family doesn’t seem to have despite sharing the same accelerated metabolism, and while the tv show says it’s because of imperfections in his formula, WordOfGod says it’s caused by something else here. |
| 111 | * BullyHunter: It’s mentioned that he’s this around his school. He follows Batman’s advice for dealing with bullies without using obvious powers or combat training: “punch them in the face, once, to show I won’t stand for bullying; then walk away, to show you won’t become a bully, either.” |
| 112 | * ButtMonkey: Averted. He’s the closest thing to one [[BadassCrew on the Team,]] but he’s plenty awesome. |
| 113 | ** Many stories have Wally be bullied at school due to his nerd traits. When Artemis asks him if this happens, he [[FridgeLogic points out how much more in-shape he is than most school bullies,]] being very close to having six-pack abs (as are visible once or twice in the show), and asserts that even ignoring his ability to punch out grown men, no one who shares his gym locker room wants to pick a fight with him. |
| 114 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: His dad used to be a very mean drunk. He cleaned his act, though. |
| 115 | * GoodParents: One of the few people on the Team to have them. There was a period in his childhood where [[ParentsAsPeople his father was an abusive drunk,]] but after an intervention Rudy went cold-turkey, went to anger management, and his parents attended marriage counseling to sort things out. |
| 116 | * GracefulLoser: He discovers that M’gann and Conner are dating when Conner kisses her in the stressful aftermath of a mission. He bows out gracefully, possibly in part because he’s too exhausted to be upset. |
| 117 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: He and Robin are best friends, and as good as brothers in many ways. |
| 118 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: Inverted. In canon he lies about why they’re at the Tower of Fate and it dumps them in lava. Turns out that was for the best, because here he keeps quiet and lets Aqualad announce that they’ve come to check the safety of the Helmet. As a result, the Tower of Fate puts them through a pre-arranged [[OnlyTheChosenMayWield set of grueling tests]] to determine if they are virtuous and capable enough for the Helmet. As a result, they start the fight against Klarion already hurt and exhausted. |
| 119 | * PopCulturedBadass: Able to quote [[Literature/{{Discworld}} Granny Weatherwax]] when musing about evil -- it starts when people are treated as things. He later slips the books to Renka and Zatanna. |
| 120 | * RequiredSecondaryPowers: Super metabolism and he’s unusually tough to withstand the forces he moves at. |
| 121 | * SecretKeeper: To Robin about his and Batman’s identities. He also knows who Roy and Oliver are, meaning he knows from the start that Artemis isn’t actually Green Arrow’s niece. |
| 122 | * ShipperOnDeck: Is very supportive of Robin’s crush on Zatanna. |
| 123 | * StrongGirlSmartGuy: Wally and Artemis, though she’s still plenty smart and he’s plenty strong. |
| 124 | * SuperSpeed: Tops out at 700-800 mph, but he can still do a lot with it and is no FragileSpeedster. |
| 125 | [[/folder]] |
| 126 | |
| 127 | [[folder: Conner L. Kent a.k.a. Superboy]] |
| 128 | * BoxingLessonsForSuperman: He takes martial arts lessons with Black Canary, super sense lessons with Ferris, and literal boxing lessons with Wildcat. |
| 129 | * ConversewithTheUnconscious: He regularly visits and reads to Match in the Fortress of Solitude. |
| 130 | %%* ClonesArePeopleToo: Certainly. |
| 131 | * GreenEyedMonster: He can't help but feel envious towards Ferris since she's pratically Superman's sidekick and spends much more time with him than Conner. |
| 132 | * MysteriousMiddleInitial: Actually an homage to the House of El. And thematically appropriate due to his ties with Luthor. [[spoiler:It's eventually revealed to stand for ''Lionel''.]] |
| 133 | * MundaneUtility: He’s getting a lot more mileage out of his enhanced hearing than in the show. |
| 134 | * NighInvulnerable: But the fact that magic and red sunlight can hurt him shows up more here. |
| 135 | * NoSell: He’s pretty much immune to physical harm because he’s NighInvulnerable. Ferris flat out states that no matter how much strength she stores or taps, she cannot hurt him with brute force. |
| 136 | * SingleTargetSexuality: M’gann sometimes kisses him in male forms and he doesn’t mind. |
| 137 | * SuperStrength: In addition to martial arts, its effect on his throwing arm is used in some battles. |
| 138 | * TakingTheBullet: As the two who are least likely to be hurt, he & Ferris both tend slightly to do this. |
| 139 | * TheTalk: Gets the human male version from Renka after she finds out he and M’gann are experimenting but haven’t heard it. |
| 140 | * TheFriendsWhoNeverHang: With Wally, which he’s trying to fix because Wally was the one to take him home after Cadmus and introduce him to normal life. |
| 141 | * TheseHandsHaveKilled: His reaction after unintentionally killing one of Black Manta’s men. |
| 142 | * ThisIsUnforgivable: He reacts this way to Wally getting infected with a disease weapon. |
| 143 | * TookALevelInKindness: With Ferris supporting him and mediating the awkwardness between him and Superman, the two come to an accord [[spoiler: two months earlier than in canon]] after which Superboy has settled down and matured a surprising amount, though he still has a temper. |
| 144 | * WellDoneSonGuy: As per canon. [[spoiler: With Ferris finagling it a bit, he finally gets Superman’s approval in early November, and learns about Clark Kent even before Ferris ever does.]] |
| 145 | %%* YoungerThanHeLooks |
| 146 | [[/folder]] |
| 147 | |
| 148 | [[folder: M'gann M'orzz a.k.a. Miss Martian]] |
| 149 | * BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: She has an OffscreenMomentOfAwesome in Bialya, where the subtle touch her telepathy has acquired prevents her from being memory-wiped by Psimon. She can’t beat him, but she can hold him down and keep him from going after her friends, which she does for several hours straight. |
| 150 | * BirdsOfAFeather: She bonded with Renka because both of them were FishOutOfWater. |
| 151 | * BizarreAlienBiology: Explored a little more than in canon, as she explains in a fluster at one point that her brain is not exposed, nor are her reproductive organs between her legs in her natural body. |
| 152 | * CorruptTheCutie: Ferris gets her a lot more comfortable with using mixed and/or grotesque forms of shape shifting to tactical advantage. At the same time, her friend’s agonizing vulnerability to telepathy has made M’gann much more hesitant to violate someone’s mind with her powers. |
| 153 | * CuteMonsterGirl: Invoked to be played straight and averted. Ferris has her improve her sensory abilities by shape-shifting on animal parts (like cat ears), but also at one point gets her to grow shark teeth before melting into a pile of goo [[spoiler: and threatening to eat someone they’re interrogating]]. |
| 154 | * FantasticRacism: She's hugely sensitive over her White Martian ethnicity. |
| 155 | * FishOutOfWater: Much better than most versions of this, but as her idea of human interactions comes from a decades old tv series, there are still multiple serious subjects she doesn’t quite get yet. |
| 156 | * GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: Invoked to fit in, as her real form not only doesn’t look remotely human, but unlike her uncle she is a [[FantasticRacism White Martian,]] which suffer discrimination on Mars. |
| 157 | * HealingFactor: There have been experiments to see if M’gann can develop one with her ShapeShifting, but the results are yet inconclusive. |
| 158 | * HealingHands: In an emergency, M’gann can shift her flesh to be a compatible donor and provide emergency skin grafts or blood donations. [[spoiler: Turns out her flesh eventually reverts, requiring treatment.]] |
| 159 | * HeroicBSOD: Upon belatedly finding out that she probably [[spoiler: killed several people in Bialya]] she’s expected to break down, but just gets very quiet, leans on Conner for emotional support, and participates in a group hug for the next little while. |
| 160 | * PowerPerversionPotential: Uses shape-shifting to role play in make-out sessions with Conner. Also uses telepathy to get a glimpse of his hormonal dreams for inspiration about this. |
| 161 | * RefugeInAudacity: Freaks out a prisoner by threatening to eat them, claiming that’s how Martians learn to shape shift into other species. |
| 162 | ** Later, she keeps the Team’s covert cover by pretending to be Lois Lane as part of a sting. Not long after that, she crashes a meeting between one of the corrupt officials who helped set up [[ImpersonationGambit their sting]], [[spoiler: General Eiling, meeting with an escaped Alec Rois,]] in the same disguise, which he mocks. [[spoiler: Turns out that was the real Lois Lane, and M’gann was impersonating Rois from the start.]] |
| 163 | * SuperEmpowering: Using her flesh and blood for grafts and transfusions will change the receiver into a metahuman - exhibits A and B, Jericho and Beast Boy. |
| 164 | * TheTalk: Renka gives her the human female version; apparently it is not at all traumatizing to her. |
| 165 | [[/folder]] |
| 166 | |
| 167 | [[folder: Artemis]] |
| 168 | * ActionGirl: The author points out that Artemis technically has more and more diverse combat training than Robin does; it’s largely her non-lethal limits that keep her from matching him. |
| 169 | * AscendedFangirl: She really, really liked Green Arrow and Kid Flash. Since she met Wally, her awe took quite the nosedive. |
| 170 | * BigSisterBully: She has a very mild one; Jade is a criminal who will do cruel and nasty things, but she doesn’t enjoy doing them to Artemis in particular. She cares about Artemis’s health and happiness, but [[EvilCannotComprehendGood Jade genuinely thinks Artemis will be better off with the villains.]] |
| 171 | * CainAndAbel: Is on opposite sides of the superhero scene from her sister, but both girls are trying to [[FaceHeelRevolvingDoor hold the door open]] in hope of the other seeing sense. |
| 172 | ** The first time they meet after six years, in the mission to protect Dr. Roquette, Jade gets convinced that Artemis has disowned her and wants her dead, due to the way the Team’s interrogation script went. |
| 173 | * CoolBigSis: Tries to become one to Connor Hawke, Oliver’s biological son. |
| 174 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Her father wanted to make her follow into his footsteps, and it ended up with her committing a murder when she was twelve. |
| 175 | * DefrostingTheIceQueen: Faster than in canon, because half the Team has no reason to prefer Red Arrow over her. |
| 176 | * IJustWantToHaveFriends: The Team pretty much serves as a second family to her now. |
| 177 | * INeedAFreakingDrink: Had this reaction after [[NoodleIncident overhearing Ferris give Superboy a birds and bees talk]]. Wally reacts by taking her to the League’s Vietnam Zeta Tube, as Vietnam doesn’t have a minimum drinking age, and Artemis downs most of a bottle while [[FriendshipMoment talking with him.]] |
| 178 | * {{Irony}}: Wally knows who Green and Red Arrow really are, meaning he knows Green Arrow has no niece, so the lie she tells to help them accept her only made him more suspicious from the start. |
| 179 | * LineageComesFromTheFather: He and Jade certainly want her to believe that she’s doomed to follow in his footsteps in joining the Shadows, but Artemis is fighting it tooth and nail. |
| 180 | * LoveHurts: She learns to deal with her fear of losing Wally and her rage at the people who tried to assassinate him. |
| 181 | * MistakenForRomance: Renka believed she was dating Robin on the sly. |
| 182 | * {{Omniglot}}: Speak numerous languages, beyond English, French, and Vietnamese. It turns out her father considers language skill to be a very important non-combat skill, and deliberately trained her in it. |
| 183 | * PleasePutSomeClothesOn: Artemis walks in on Renka drying off after a shower and has this reaction. Renka is mostly amused, because they share a locker room and are both female anyway. |
| 184 | * RealNameAsAnAlias: Goes by Artemis in daily life (largely in Gotham) and as a hero (when she’s working with the Team or in Star City). |
| 185 | ** PlayedForLaughs when, in an argument about keeping secrets, Ferris calls out Artemis since they don’t even know her real name (since she somehow [[PoorCommunicationKills missed the memo]]). |
| 186 | * StrongGirlSmartGuy: Wally and Artemis, though she’s still plenty smart and he’s plenty strong. |
| 187 | [[/folder]] |
| 188 | |
| 189 | [[folder: Zatanna Zatara a.k.a. Magelet]] |
| 190 | * BrandishmentBluff: Done in true MasterOfIllusion style as part of the sting against Henry Yarrow and company. She freezes the group of mercenaries acting as guards by pulling two dozen armed soldiers out of the air. It looked like they had just dropped their invisibility for the ambush, rather than being illusions, so most of them surrendered. |
| 191 | * BreakTheCutie: Klarion vandalized her mother's grave to put a ''geas'' on her and burned her home to the ground, leaving the Zataras homeless. She's rightfully traumatized. |
| 192 | * CrisisOfFaith: Starts off sincerely Christian and attending a private Catholic school, but ends up jaded and bitter after the Disappearance Disaster. |
| 193 | %%* CuteWitch |
| 194 | * DaddysGirl: Even if she complains about his overprotectiveness. |
| 195 | * EasilyForgiven: She’s been excused for abrasiveness or invasiveness a few times due to her trauma. |
| 196 | * GamerChick: She's well-versed enough in ''Dungeons & Dragons'' rules and was open to fantasy role-playing with the Team. |
| 197 | * {{Glamour}}: She hides signs of her building breakdown, like the bags under her eyes, with one of these. |
| 198 | * HeroWorshipper: When her house was burned, she lamented the loss of Wonder Woman's autograph. |
| 199 | * MasterOfIllusion: One of Zatanna’s developments is that she’s coming to appreciate how energy-efficient and versatile her conjured illusions can be. She’s used them to make distracting body doubles, to draw away attention for a teammate’s stealth infiltration, to disguise people for going out in public, to turn invisible, to escape, and to set up an ambush (or fake an ambush with illusionary soldiers). |
| 200 | * MissingMom: Sindella apparently died when she was very young. |
| 201 | * PowerOfFriendship: Zatanna makes a reference to this after the members of the Team with a DarkSecret share the truth, stating that it’s going to be awesome to turn the table on villains trying blackmail. |
| 202 | * RageBreakingPoint: Screams at and dumps Robin when his attempt at Valentine’s Day surprise got her almost expelled from her school. |
| 203 | * RealNameAsAnAlias: Averted. She begins going by “Magelet” on missions. |
| 204 | * SecretIdentity: Double subverted. It’s publicly known information that her father is a superhero with the Justice League, but on some missions with the team she uses disguises, as her involvement is still a secret. |
| 205 | %%* ShipTease: Very strongly with Robin. |
| 206 | * StatingTheSimpleSolution: Starts carrying around notecards for when she has an especially complicated incantation and doesn’t have time to work it out in her head. |
| 207 | * StartingANewLife: Downplayed. She moves in with Artemis in Gotham and transfers schools, but she still keeps in touch with her friends from before. |
| 208 | * TookALevelInBadass: Is seen slowly grinding up with her magic practice in various episodes, and the results are shocking when cuts loose later. |
| 209 | ** In April 2011 she steals [[spoiler: Princess Tara]] out from under [[spoiler: Circe’s]] nose with a big spell. |
| 210 | * TookALevelInJerkass: After losing her father to Doctor Fate, Zatanna is understandably abrasive and short-tempered towards people. |
| 211 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: Downplayed, but her friendship with Renka ''definitely'' was impacted by the fact Zatanna's dad was possessed by Nabu, who's Renka's friend. |
| 212 | [[/folder]] |
| 213 | |
| 214 | [[folder: Joseph Wilson a.k.a. Jericho]] |
| 215 | * AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: Not the power itself, but the ''origin''. He gained his creepy possession ability after receiving a graft from Miss Martian rather than inheriting it by his dad being experimented upon. |
| 216 | * BadPowersGoodPeople: Very frankly, body-jacking is ''not'' a power you would associate with a hero-in-training. |
| 217 | * BodySurf: He's able to possess people when he looks in their eyes. |
| 218 | * CampStraight: Fitting his comics portrayal, Joseph is an artistic soul with effeminate mannerisms, but shows no inclination towards the male form. |
| 219 | * CuteMute: He lost his voice and is very much a sweetheart. |
| 220 | * DistressedDude: Jackal abducted and held him at knife point to get at Deathstroke. |
| 221 | * EyeColorChange: He gained green eyes after Miss Martian's skin graft saved his life. |
| 222 | * {{Foil}}: He and Artemis have really dodgy parents, with the major difference that Slade genuinely tried to keep his family out of his dirty dealings. As such, Joseph is more socially adjusted than Artemis. |
| 223 | * GoodParents: Since he separated his mercenary work from his civilian life and relied on his wife for support, Slade Wilson actually was a nice father to him and Grant. |
| 224 | * HandSignals: Black Canary encourages him to use these, stating M'gann can't be always around. |
| 225 | * InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: His body language is a mite effeminate, and he really wants to seem more manly. |
| 226 | * JockDadNerdSon: Downplayed -- the mercenary Slade never openly disapproved Joseph's artistry, but he never went out of his way to encourage it either. |
| 227 | * LevelGrinding: Regularly practices impersonating people, extending the time he can possess someone, and recognizing other impersonators/shape shifters. |
| 228 | * MasterActor: The Team realized his potential for it and encourage him to work on this. |
| 229 | * ParentalFavouritism: His dad actually enjoyed more spending time with his effeminate, sensitive youngest than his brash, agressive eldest. Joseph hypothesizes Grant's abrasive personality really grated on Slade's nerves. |
| 230 | * SiblingRivalry: The classic story between the jockey son and the nerdy son, Grant does his best to annoy and belittle Joseph. |
| 231 | * TraumaCongaLine: He was abducted by a bloodthirsty mercenary, learned his dad was actually a hitman, lost his voice when his throat was slit, his mom decided to file for divorce after gouging her husband's eye and he started to develop a freaky ability. Yeesh. |
| 232 | [[/folder]] |
| 233 | |
| 234 | [[folder: Raquel Ervine a.k.a. Rocket]] |
| 235 | * ClothesMakeTheSuperman: Rocket’s powers come from her alien tech belt. |
| 236 | * EarlyBirdCameo: She teams up with Ferris in Episode 13: Visiting, in late September. |
| 237 | * RagsToRiches: Downplayed, but she went from Dakota City’s slums to working with the Justice League. |
| 238 | * VerbalTic: She has a slight accent, pronouncing “I” as “Ah”. |
| 239 | * WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld: She can handle Team missions and the brainwashed Justice League, but her grades started dropping after she joined and she needed her teammates’ support to get them back up. |
| 240 | [[/folder]] |
| 241 | |
| 242 | [[folder: Garth a.k.a. Tempest]] |
| 243 | * BareFistedMonk: Fights in melee, but without Kaldur’s weapons. |
| 244 | * FullContactMagic: Fist fighter and spell-caster. |
| 245 | * GreenEyedMonster: Averted. He actually worries that Kaldur isn’t as close to Tula and tries to help patch up their friendship. |
| 246 | * GuysSmashGirlsShoot: He can fight at range, but he prefers more hand-to-hand. |
| 247 | * TakenForGranite: Briefly, with no long-term consequences. |
| 248 | * {{Telepathy}}: He learned a spell for this to make friends with Jericho. |
| 249 | [[/folder]] |
| 250 | |
| 251 | [[folder: Tula a.k.a. Cerulean]] |
| 252 | * ActionGirl: A better fighter than Garth and in the thick of it in Markovia. |
| 253 | * AdaptationNameChange: After Ferris mentions “aqua-shipping” Tula decides to go by “Cerulean”. |
| 254 | * DanceBattler: Very acrobatic and mobile when she fights. |
| 255 | * GenericGraffiti: Graffitied the bottoms of ships as a game/hobby. |
| 256 | * GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Tula seems to prefer lots of magic blasts while Garth is more hand-to-hand. |
| 257 | [[/folder]] |
| 258 | |
| 259 | [[folder: Barbara Gordon a.k.a. Batgirl]] |
| 260 | * AdaptationOriginConnection: She knew Pamala Isley from before her transformation into Poison Ivy. Here Pam was her babysitter and mentor instead of same age friends like in ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman''. |
| 261 | * ClingyJealousGirl: She tries to avert this when Dick and Zatanna are dating. |
| 262 | * DominoMask: Wears one in civvies at Mt. Justice, although a few of them know her identity. |
| 263 | * DyeOrDie: She briefly dyes her hair light brown in order to remain a candidate to the televised Junior Olympics without jeopardizing her vigilante career. |
| 264 | * LegacyCharacter: Downplayed. She’s the first Batgirl, but one reason she got the name is from impersonating Batwoman (Kate Kane) at a party as a distraction. Kate pushes Bruce to take her on. |
| 265 | * LockedOutOfTheLoop: She became aware that [[PaperThinDisguise Artemis was Artemis]] before she was informed of Dick being Robin (which didn’t happen until after she joined the Team). |
| 266 | * LoveTriangle: She has a thing for Dick/Robin, but he’s dating Zatanna already. |
| 267 | * MissingMom: Her parents are divorced, and her mother lives in Chicago with her brother, James Jr. |
| 268 | * ParentalSexualitySquick: Returns early from her first Team mission to find Sarah Essen with her dad after having stayed the night, which causes {{Squick}}. |
| 269 | * TheSmartGuy: According to their tests, she is explicitly the most intelligent member of the Team. |
| 270 | [[/folder]] |
| 271 | |
| 272 | [[folder: Karen Beecher a.k.a. Bumblebee]] |
| 273 | * TheFriendsWhoNeverHang: Ferris knows Karen the least well, but Karen thinks someone would have to be last. |
| 274 | * HeroWorshipper: She mentions admiring Ferris for being a colored woman who saved the world. |
| 275 | * JumpedAtTheCall: She was really eager when she got a chance to join the Team. |
| 276 | * OnlySaneMan: Plays this to a bunch of civilians when they panic about visitors from Atlantis showing up at the beach. |
| 277 | * TheMasqueradeWillKillYourDatingLife: She has relationship issues with Mal after joining the Team. |
| 278 | [[/folder]] |
| 279 | |
| 280 | !The Justice League |
| 281 | |
| 282 | [[folder: Superman a.k.a. Clark Kent]] |
| 283 | * BroughtDownToNormal: Blue Beam hits him with a red sunlight laser at night, reducing him to human levels of strength and toughness. He still gets up again to help Ferris and Rocket fight. |
| 284 | * CoverBlowingSuperpower: He was planning to tell Ferris his identity, but she figured it out on a dinner with Lois, Clark, and Jimmy, because she knows how invulnerable skin feels to normal touch. |
| 285 | * DidntSeeThatComing: He set up [[spoiler: Jimmy and Renka]] on a double date with him and Lois, but was caught off-guard by how well the two hit it off. |
| 286 | * DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: When she learns how Superboy came to be, Ferris bluntly compares him to a male rape victim. |
| 287 | * HeroesLoveDogs: Krypto is technically an alien lifeform, but he looks and behaves like a doggy, and Clark clearly dotes on him. |
| 288 | * HeroicWillpower: He doesn’t realize it, but he’s fought off [[TheEvilsOfFreeWill Anti-Life Equation influence]] when it tried to infect him. |
| 289 | * HidingInPlainSight: Another element of his ClarkKenting: people believe Superman lives in the Fortress of Solitude and is a full-time hero with no secret identity. |
| 290 | * IJustWantToBeNormal: He's extremely irked when people imagine him as TheParagon unable to goof off or feel uncertain and upset. It also shows when he gently encourages his clone to nurture his civilian identity, telling the teen that ''Conner'' is just as important as ''Superboy''. |
| 291 | %%* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Ferris. |
| 292 | * PowerOfTrust: Offers [[AbsurdlySharpBlade weapons able to cut him]] to Amanda Waller and General Sam Lane - two people who’ve plotted against him in the past - to get them on his side of the fight against the Light. |
| 293 | * RightForTheWrongReasons: How Ferris views his refusal to be a father to Superboy, since ignoring the boy is pretty jerkassy, but it's okay for Superman to not feel ready for parenthood. |
| 294 | * ShellShockedVeteran: Downplayed, but his first experience with space-based war was unlike anything he’d ever experienced. |
| 295 | * VillainsActHeroesReact: Cites this as a positive fact, because heroes without crime would just go home and lives their lives. |
| 296 | * WhatTheHellHero: Calls out Waller and Lane for funding Cadmus and plotting against him when he’s trying to save people’s lives. |
| 297 | [[/folder]] |
| 298 | |
| 299 | [[folder: Batman a.k.a. Bruce Wayne]] |
| 300 | * AdaptationalNiceGuy: Justified. With Diana and J’onn both being around for decades before he was born, and the Justice League forming 3-4 years into Batman’s career, he’s had a support system to fall back on from early on without losing his ability to trust. For instance, Superman and Martian Manhunter both know about and have copies of [[ComicBook/JLATowerOfBabel Batman’s contingency plans]] for the rest of the Justice League. |
| 301 | * AdaptationOriginConnection: Met Catwomen when they were both trained by wildcat. |
| 302 | * CrazyPrepared: Starro-tech takes longer to work due here to changes in how it was made. He uses those seconds to dose himself with a sedative and try to trigger an alarm. |
| 303 | * ChildrenRaiseYou: He had to adapt and grow while raising Dick. |
| 304 | * DarkIsNotEvil: He wears black and kicks the shit out of criminals, but he's a hero nonetheless. |
| 305 | * DatingCatwoman: There's three women he seriously wanted to marry: Andrea Beaumont (a murderous mercenary), Selina Kyle (an amoral thief stealing for the thrill) and Talia al Ghul (totally loyal to her genocidal father). Bruce has ''issues''. |
| 306 | ** Whisper A’daire deliberately passes herself off as an amateur burglar at a party (instead of a skilled assassin) to attract his attention so she can dose him with a drug. |
| 307 | * DefrostingIceKing: Batman’s life starts looking happier when he not only takes in Jason Todd, [[spoiler: but Talia informs him that she’s pregnant]]. |
| 308 | * DramaPreservingHandicap: Was deliberately targeted and drugged by Whisper A’daire because having Batman backing up Batwoman would have ruined their chances of killing her. |
| 309 | * GoodIsNotNice: One of this tropes exemplars. |
| 310 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He terrifies people into submission and is paranoid to the extreme, but there's not doubting he has a heart underneath this Kevlar - he obviously cares very much for Robin and was livid when [[spoiler:it was hinted a former friend and mentor of his was carelessly used and discarded by a planetary force.]] |
| 311 | * JerkassBall: Justified. When there are multiple murderers running around Gotham, Batman gets incredibly stressed and can be sharp-tongued, even with people who are trying to warn him about kidnappers, robberies, and other less deadly crimes. |
| 312 | * MultilayerFacade: Artemis figures out that Robin is Dick Grayson. Does that mean Bruce Wayne is Batman? Nope! Robin informs her that Bruce Wayne only bankrolls Batman, and doesn’t do the face-punching thing himself. |
| 313 | * NotSoAboveItAll: When Renka publically calls him out over one decision, he concedes her point but is obviously miffed at her disrespect and later enlists her to find glitches in the Zeta network - not a dangerous job but quite annoying. |
| 314 | %%* ParentalSubstitute: To Robin. |
| 315 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Places Ferris on probation until she chooses a SecretKeeper to know everything about her history and abilities, but allows her to choose who to trust and he gives the Team mostly free reign. |
| 316 | * SecretKeeper: Regarding the identities of two of the Century Babies' current crop. |
| 317 | * SupermanStaysOutOfGotham: Batman has a list of heroes who can go into Gotham, but he still prefers to be told when they do. Zigzagged with Bruce having business in Metropolis and helping out Clark Kent by buying his apartment building and remodeling so that Clark’s apartment has roof access. |
| 318 | [[/folder]] |
| 319 | |
| 320 | [[folder: Princess Diana a.k.a. Wonder Woman]] |
| 321 | * AchillesHeel: Binding her wrists with ropes will remove her powers. |
| 322 | * ArtificialFamilyMember: Sculpted from clay and given life by the gods. |
| 323 | * TheAgeless: She stopped physically aging in her prime, but she feels old in many ways. |
| 324 | * BoxingLessonsForSuperman: She picks up lessons in divine magic use. |
| 325 | * BroughtDownToBadass: A man binding her wrists will suppress her FlyingBrick powers and other abilities; she’s still a skilled and strong enough fighter to hold her own against most enemies with just her training and a weapon. |
| 326 | * CuttingTheKnot: How she turned the tides of Thanagar’s war with Gordania: she tossed the Lasso of Truth around a bunch of Gordanian captives and made them reveal all their secret passcodes, troop movements, supply lines, etc. |
| 327 | * {{Determinator}}: Kept fighting Circe even after her powers were sealed, using her skills and a broken sword. |
| 328 | * EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Due to the blessing of Aphrodite, everyone is a little lesbian for Wonder Woman. |
| 329 | * FlyingBrick: With decades of experience. |
| 330 | * ForgotAboutHerPowers: Subverted. She used to have other powers, like [[FriendToAllLivingThings animal empathy]], but some of them stopped working as she grew older [[BrokenBird and more jaded]]. |
| 331 | * LinearWarriorsQuadraticWizards: The Warrior to Superman’s Wizard. She was older and stronger than him when they met, but he grew stronger faster and has since surpassed her. |
| 332 | * LivingLieDetector: Part of her divine powers, but she’s still learning to use them without the Lasso. |
| 333 | * PhlebotinumBreakdown: The Lasso of Truth ends up disintegrating during Circe’s ritual. |
| 334 | * RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Fights on behalf of the gods, helped found the Justice League, and administrates or supports dozens of outreaches and charities. |
| 335 | * TheSleepless: She can go several days without sleep, but she sometimes skips sleeping more often than is healthy. |
| 336 | * StepfordSmiler: Depressed version. It’s hinted that 70+ years of heroism have taken a toll on her, and several people have called her out on beginning to slip and not dealing with her guilt or grief properly. |
| 337 | * TakenForGranite: Circe tried to turn her back into the clay she was sculpted from. |
| 338 | * TranslatorMicrobes: Practicing her divine abilities gives her a spell with this effect. |
| 339 | * WorfHadTheFlu: Invoked, because after decades of active service, any villain that runs into her without taking precautions loses hard. |
| 340 | * WhoWantsToLiveForever: '''She does''' and as an immortal demigoddess she can accomplish it easily. The reason this isn't the [[LivingForeverIsAwesome other trope]] is that she is well on her way to immortal burn out which Rah's as TheOlderImmortal recognizes and warns her against unless she ends up having this trope PlayedStraight. |
| 341 | [[/folder]] |
| 342 | |
| 343 | [[folder: Doctor Fate]] |
| 344 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Not only Ferris genuinely made an effort to find him a new vessel, she was genuinely interested in his craft, leading Nabu to grow fond of her. |
| 345 | * GoodIsNotNice: WordOfGod described him as Lawful Brutal Good - not only his morality code is rather dated, he needs to snatch a body of his own to be effective and ride them pretty hard. Still, he ''is'' aware the host is pretty much a sacrifice. |
| 346 | * IntergenerationalFriendship: He grows to respect Renka's intelligence and opinion. |
| 347 | * MrExposition: Since Renka enjoys discussing magic with him, Nabu is often this to explain the intricacies and systems of sorcery. |
| 348 | * TheNeedsOfTheMany: He would rather not sacrifice his host, but he won't hold back from saving the world for one single life. |
| 349 | * NotSoAboveItAll: While he was cleaning up after Klarion's human sacrifices, he asked if Superman could go with him to deliver the bad news to the parents' victims, hinting he was affected by their distress. |
| 350 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Around 20000 years old and still kicking ass. |
| 351 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Nabu is aware that being Doctor Fate is dangerous, exhausting and time-consuming and as such favours fully-grown hosts able to devote themselves to the job. |
| 352 | [[/folder]] |
| 353 | |
| 354 | [[folder: Black Canary a.k.a. Dinah Lance]] |
| 355 | * ClarkKenting: She has a secret identity and doesn’t wear a mask, but she changes her hair color. She used to wear a wig, but now she uses a chemical comb. |
| 356 | * HidingInPlainSight: As Dihan Lance, florist, and she hides things like the video records of her therapy sessions inside empty movie cases. |
| 357 | * ManipulativeBitch: By virtue of being a therapist, she has to ''know'' what makes people tick. And it allows her to flag other people doing it. |
| 358 | * TheMasochismTango: Her relationship with Oliver Queen is a mite tangled and emotionally tiring. |
| 359 | * TheMentor: She took Joseph Wilson under her wing. |
| 360 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Takes it gracefully when people call her on meddling where she isn’t wanted. |
| 361 | * RequiredSecondaryPowers: Invoked. She learned sign language for times when she wouldn’t or couldn’t talk or hear. |
| 362 | %%* SuperScream: Her sonic scream. |
| 363 | * YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Gives these to several people in her position as League therapist. |

| 366 | [[folder: Captain Marvel a.k.a. Billy Batson]] |
| 367 | * TheChosenMany: [[spoiler:He's a Century Child, born on the Turn of the Millenium to protect humanity. The only other Child currently known is Queen Perdita from Vlatava.]] |
| 368 | * IncorruptiblePurePureness: A bit of a requirement to be Captain Marvel. [[spoiler:Also hinted this is his mantle as a Century Child.]] |
| 369 | * {{Keet}}: He's very enthusiastic and energetic. |
| 370 | * {{Manchild}}: Comes off as this when in Captain Marvel form. Since, y'know, he's a ten-years-old who doesn't do a stellar job of passing as grown-up. |
| 371 | * {{Nephewism}}: Lives with his uncle Dudley. |
| 372 | * ShockAndAwe: A limited control over electricity since his transformation makes use of summoned lightning. |
| 373 | * SignificantBirthDate: January 1st, 2000. [[spoiler: He was born just in time to cry at midnight on New Year's Eve, a mark that he is a Century Child.]] |
| 374 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: Apparently, "Captain Marvel" is almost a carbon copy for Billy's father Clarence Batson, which finally lets Beautia Sivana identify him. |
| 375 | * YouDidntAsk: Regarding his true age. He points he ''would'' have tell anyone genuinely inquiring, but the Justice League refused to care about that, so there. |
| 376 | [[/folder]] |
| 377 | |
| 378 | [[folder: “Will” Oerwyl Lance Harper a.k.a. Red Arrow]] |
| 379 | * BadassNormal: On a mission in China, he takes down more Kobra cultists and suffers fewer injuries than his super-powered teammates. |
| 380 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: His relationship with Ferris. In his “I am not a sidekick” period, she was the first person to take him seriously and follow his lead on a mission, as well as recruiting the more experienced Ghost Fox Killer to do the same. |
| 381 | * BoxingLessonsForSuperman: Briefly mentioned that he’s giving real archery training to Celestial Archer, whose skills are mystic in origin. |
| 382 | * CloneAngst: Traumatized by the discovery that he’s a clone and the real Roy Harper is missing. |
| 383 | * FakeMemories: All his memories of being Roy Harper are implanted. |
| 384 | * HeroesGoneFishing: After getting injured on a mission, Ferris drags him off to Central City’s mall for a day. |
| 385 | * HumblePie: Despite being barely out of her wheelchair, Ferris beats him unconscious when he angers him. |
| 386 | * IncompatibleOrientation: He’s straight, but he doesn’t freak out about his best friend (Kaldur) having feelings for him. |
| 387 | * JerkassBall: Justified. He’s been hypnotically instructed to rile up Ferris and find things out about her, which is why he angers her by speaking chauvinistically about Mother of Champions. |
| 388 | * JerkassHasAPoint: His phrasing is sexist, but he’s not unreasonably upset that Ferris was passed over for the Justice League while [[ComicBook/GreatTen Mother of Champions]] received an invitation, despite Ferris saving the world on Roanoke. |
| 389 | * MeaningfulRename: Red Arrow changes his name from Roy to Oerwyl, a Terris name, though he uses Will for short. |
| 390 | ** He also takes up Lance as a middle name, in honor of Black Canary (Dinah Lance). |
| 391 | * ParentalSubstitute: Double subverted. Oliver is not his father-figure, just his mentor/partner, but Dinah, is the closest thing he has to a mother, since Roy never had a mother figure in his early life. |

| 394 | !Affiliates and families |
| 395 | |
| 396 | [[folder: Ma and Pa Kent]] |
| 397 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: Off-screen, but they give Conner a house key and tell him to come over any time at the end of their first meeting with him. |
| 398 | * GoodParents: Very supportive of their son, and welcoming to Conner once they meet him. |
| 399 | * KnowWhenToFoldEm: At Thanksgiving, Kaldur thinks Ma Kent is about to try her hand at calming Renka down and getting the younger woman in a more festive mood. Instead, Ma orders Kaldur and Kal-El out of Renka’s room and leaves Renka to fume as she requested. Superman asks if she’s losing her touch. |
| 400 | --> '''Ma:''' I don’t pick a fight that I know I won’t win, and me making the attempt would’ve only insulted her. Sometimes, a girl just needs to cool off. |
| 401 | * MuggleFosterParents: The UrExample. Renka explicitly refers to Ma as Superman's "Dwynra" - a term for adoptive mother in Scadrese. |
| 402 | [[/folder]] |
| 403 | |
| 404 | [[folder: Donna Troy a.k.a. Wonder Girl]] |
| 405 | * AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Inverted. A common backstory has Donna found in a fire, adopted, and given back to Child Services when her adoptive mother can no longer afford to raise her. Here, a charity Wonder Woman founded for single mothers helped them make ends meet and she got to stay. |
| 406 | * BigSisterInstinct: Toward Robin. Him being in trouble is a big trigger for her temper. Even more so for her actual adoptive siblings. |

| 421 | * BadassTeacher: Her students really don't want to snap her out of a researching fugue because she ''will'' curse them good. |
| 422 | * ImperiledInPregnancy: Twice! She was assaulted right after revealing she was expecting, and has to endure childbirth while her guard is busy defending her. Needless to say, it made her a mite anxious regarding her son's security. |
| 423 | * MamaBear: First she was a PregnantBadass, then she gave birth to her son Artur and became this. |

| 431 | [[folder: Lois Lane]] |
| 432 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: Her reaction when a homeless young woman asks for her is wondering if she's going to be assaulted again, write another piece of scathing social commentary or try to help the poor soul to find her footing in life. |
| 433 | * IntrepidReporter: Asking tough questions to soilders pointing guns at her face is all par for course to her. |
| 434 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's brusque and sometimes snappy, but she really wants her pieces to make a difference for the better. |

| 465 | * ParentalSexualitySquick: Babs once returned home early to find that Sarah Essen had stayed the night. |

| 472 | * BadassNormal: In her one combat scene, she is unbelievably capable, able to take down Intergang thugs in one blow and fight in melee against [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent Kyle Abbott]]. |
| 473 | * TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive: Intergang and the League of Shadows team up to attack her home. |
| 474 | * CombatPragmatist: Flanking, gun use, Tasers, gas, and ambush tactics are all used to great effect. |

| 499 | * MamaBear: She was really miffed when her sister Georgia's scheme endangered the kids who went trick-or-treating. |
| 500 | * TheMedic: Why the Justice League decided to ask for her services -- she's a very good one. |
| 501 | * MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter: But of course. And her pretty blond head is quite full, too! |
| 502 | * MeaningfulName: She's a beautiful person inside and outside. |
| 503 | * SocialServicesDoesNotExist: An aversion; she's a social assistant who takes her job seriously, and seems very competent at it if judging from her interactions with Billy and Wren (a disguised Renka). |
| 504 | * ThickerThanWater: She ruefully confesses she just cannot throw her siblings under the bus, she's their sister and as such that's her duty to try and fix their messes. |

| 510 | * MasterApprenticeChain: Was taught robotics by T. O. Morrow who in turn benefited from a think tank set up by [[ComicBook/{{Planetary}} Doc Brass]]. |
| 511 | * NotMeThisTime: Beautia accuses him from deliberate neglect towards Copper. Except that copper's allomantic properties are related to ''memories''. So Magnus isn't nasty when ignoring his creation, he genuinely has trouble remembering she exists. |
| 512 | * OvershadowedByAwesome: He's definitely intelligent but he's outshone by his siblings. |
| 513 | * RelatedInTheAdaptation: Not him but his alias, Magnus has no relation to the Sivana family. |

| 520 | * {{Necromancer}}: Using reanimen and controls [[Characters/JusticeLeagueOtherVillains Solomon Grundy]] through a kit bashed Respondometers, she counts. |

| 528 | * AffablyEvil: While talking to [[spoiler: Ferris under mind-control about Hemalurgy]] he maintains a polite interest and mostly holds his temper despite her verbal dodging. |
| 529 | * AncientEvil: He’s 50,000 years old, which boggles Renka’s mind. |
| 530 | * DeliberateValuesDissonance: Arguably the first hero, but just as we see [[Literature/TheEpicOfGilgamesh Gilgamesh]] more of a monster than a hero so too has Vandal been on the wrong side of society for millennia! |
| 531 | * DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: He can barge into Darkseid's throneroom, casually adress the New God of Tyranny and ''tank an Omega Beam''. |
| 532 | * FantasticRacism: He has a thing against {{Time Travel}}ers, one has to [[NoodleIncident wonder why]]. |
| 533 | * OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Kid Flash pants’d him during the Ice Fortress incident, and there are pictures. |
| 534 | * VillainousFriendship: A very, very fucked-up one with Darkseid. Vandal clearly is in a subordinate position, but he still is more equal to the New God than a true servant. |

| 536 | |
| 537 | [[folder: Ra’s al Ghul]] |
| 538 | * UsefulNotes/{{Alchemy}}: He's noted as an exceptional chemist who enjoys a limited form of immortality, so he fits. |

| 540 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Appears to love Talia, and was fond of his late son Arkady before his death. |
| 541 | * HeirClubForMen: A staple of his character. If his designated successor dies before him, he will seek for a suitable candidate whom he would entreat to join him, preferably with his daughter's hand in marriage. |
| 542 | * LivingForeverIsNoBigDeal: Sees his imprisonment as a form of retirement, which he uses to give a peptalk to Wonder Woman and let business as usual continue while his heirs stretch their legs. |
| 543 | * LockedOutOfTheLoop: There were several things regarding his late son Arkady Duvall Ra's is still ignorant of. [[spoiler:Unbeknownst to the Demon, Arkady was one of the 20th Century Children, meaning he enjoyed a persisting youth but was fated to die with the turn of the millenium.]] |
| 544 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Informational material reveals that his favorite hobby is elementary-grade chemical experiences. |
| 545 | * OutlivingOnesOffspring: His son Arkady died as a centenarian and Ra's couldn't bring him back in spite of his access to the Lazarus Pits. He outright sunk into depression for a year before starting to search for another heir. |
| 546 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Give or take a few decades. |
| 547 | * SmartPeoplePlayChess: He constantly trounces Lex Luthor at the tabletop, which leads the annoyed billionaire to invent other games as a way to have his revenge. |

| 549 | |
| 550 | [[folder: Lex Luthor]] |
| 551 | %%* BaldOfEvil: Well, that's ''Lex''. |
| 552 | * TheDreaded: Given his scientific abilities and enmity with Superman, Ferris freaks the first time they meet unexpectedly and reads into everything he says, fleeing to the Watchtower for a full medical check afterwards to check that she hasn’t been irradiated, infected with nanobots, or anything else. |
| 553 | * EvilIsPetty: His jealousy towards Superman would already place him in this category, but he goes full-blown with this trope when he decides to invent new tabletop games in order to discreditate chess because he cannot win a single match against Ra's al Ghul. |
| 554 | * FantasticRacism: His viewpoint coldly, firmly considers aliens as subhumans unworthy to breathe the same air as ''Homo Sapiens''. |
| 555 | * LukeIAmYourFather: Tries to undermine Superboy's admiration and loyalty for Superman with the fact that Luthor is his other genetic donor. [[spoiler:Unfortunately for him, Conner already knew.]] |
| 556 | * NotSoOmniscientAfterAll: He went to great trouble to hack the security feeds at Cadmus when Superboy goes looking for Match, and he has multiple sensors around to detect hidden heroes. [[spoiler: The Team still give him the runaround, and he doesn’t realize until later that they took Match with them.]] |
| 557 | * NotSoStoic: He’s stunned speechless and his face is implied to be a sight when Superboy drops that his middle initial L [[spoiler: stands for Lionel, as in Lex’s father.]] |
| 558 | * SmartPeoplePlayChess: Subverted. He actually tried his hand to the game, but the Demon's Head constantly winning thoroughly soured his opinion about it. |
| 559 | * SoreLoser: Repeat, the guy would invent new strategy games just because Ra's al Ghul won't let him win a single chess match. |

| 564 | * CrazyPrepared: Confronted M’gann in person, and when M’gann tried to attack her, Bee turned out to have a Starro-based device that defended against telepathy & telekinesis. |
| 565 | * {{Foil}}: Arguably. She’s a woman of color world leader with mind-control powers; Ferris is a woman of color who was a leader in her home, was briefly homeless on Earth, and is weak to mind control. |
| 566 | * NotSoAboveItAll: Engages in sport shooting as a hobby, she doesn't even carry a gun otherwise. |
| 567 | * OutOfFocus: Barring a scene showing a meeting of the Light, and a brief appearance on Santa Prisca before the New Year, she hasn’t been seen much. |
| 568 | * WouldHurtAChild: The Team’s second mission to Bialya happened off-screen, but it was implied that Garfield almost died when Bee followed through on her threat to hurt him, rather than in a stampede. |

| 573 | * RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Portrays himself as this, and officially hes a champion breeder of sea mollusks. |
| 574 | * VillainWithGoodPublicity: Ferris briefly suspects him, but Mera shoots the idea down. |
| 575 | * XanatosSpeedChess: When Ocean Master is visibly injured fighting the Team, Orm hides it by having a purist guard pretend that the injuries occurred because the guard had to subdue Prince Orm to keep him from using a self-sacrificial spell to rescue Queen Mera, since Orm loves his sister-in-law that dearly. |
| 576 | [[/folder]] |

| 587 | * KilledByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:Ferris and Fate kill/banish him in the Season 1 climax.]] |
| 588 | * PsychopathicManchild: He genuinely thinks it's funny to torture and gruesomely murder people, and throws apocalyptic hissy fits when Nabu "ruins his fun". |
| 589 | * RedBaron: He’s called the Witch Boy, but his mystic name seems to be {Wicked}. |

| 595 | * ThePresentsWereNeverFromSanta: Seen '''setting this up'''. She's breeding several MentorMascot's to create MagicalGirlWarrior's. The idea is that they'll empower people who will test powers that can then be implemented more widely. In weapons development for the use of the Light. |
| 596 | * SanityHasAdvantages: The above scene has an intricacy that Klarion would never have implemented, more then making up for the disadvantages showcased below. |
| 597 | * WeakButSkilled: Definitely weaker than Klarion, she's running herself ragged keeping up all the wards and the SealedEvilInACan's Klarion is not around to keep clamped down. She makes up for it in other ways. |
| 598 | * UnseenNoMore: She didn't show up from her first mention for a long while from when she was first mentioned, when she did she was possessing someone, and then she finally showed up in person showing she definitely deserved her place in the Light. |

| 610 | * AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Inverted. She lost her eldest son and her husband, but [[ForWantOfANail because Martian Manhunter lives in Chicago]] her eldest daughter Damita is still alive. |
| 611 | * AdaptationalWimp: Only as a result of her AgeLift. She’s her WesternAnimation/YoungJustice canon age, but the author did a little math with her comics backstory: she had her first child at 18, who died when he was 18, meaning she was 36 at the start of her TraumaCongaLine. Since she’s 44 here, she’s only being playing politics for 8 years maximum, so Waller doesn’t have the resources or reputation of her other versions just yet. |
| 612 | * AlwaysIdenticalTwins: Her sons Martin & Jesse are identical, as are her daughters Claudia & Celine. |

| 618 | * DramaticIrony: Reprimands Jessie for badmouthing Strange, unaware that he’s TheMole for the Light. |
| 619 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She cares about the wellbeing of civilians and the world in general, and she tries to be softer around her children than she is on the job. |
| 620 | * TheLostLenore: Averted. She remarried after the death of her first husband and had twin daughters. |
| 621 | * TheMaidenNameDebate: She was born Amanda Blake. She married Joseph Waller and took his name. She then ''stayed'' Amanda Waller after remarrying Roger Patterson, but their twin daughters are Pattersons. |
| 622 | * MamaBear: She buried her eldest son and her first husband. Do not threaten her family. |
| 623 | * MarriageOfConvenience: After the death of her first husband (Joseph) she remarried a family friend (Roger) who’d held a torch for her to help make ends meet. |

When she has ADayInTheLimelight on New Year’s Eve she’s taken the chance to take her kids Trick-or-treating, see a school play, do volunteer work, and be more available.
