| 5 | [[caption-width-right:350:From left to right: [[EasySexChange Alice]], [[TheWonka The Warden]], [[DoAnythingRobot Jailbot]], and [[BeleagueredAssistant Jared]].[[note]]Not pictured: [[MadScientist The Doctor]][[/note]]]] |
| 6 | The jail's staff. They oversee the controlled chaos and try to keep everything in check. |
| 7 | ---- |
| 8 | * AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: They bicker, belittle, and argue with each other in almost every episode with poor [[ButtMonkey Jared]] getting the most of it. They are, however, not afraid to have a FriendshipMoment every now and then. |
| 9 | * BadassCrew: The Warden is a RealityWarper (though he's mostly a NonActionGuy), Jared is a CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass with a mastery in magic, Alice is a nearly unstoppable OneManArmy, Jailbot is a DoAnythingRobot with an unlimited amount of [[WalkingArmory weapons]], and The Doctor is a MadScientist BadassNormal. |
| 10 | * BreakingTheFellowship: In pretty much every two-parter. |
| 11 | ** In the Time-Police two-parter, The Warden is stuck in time prison, the inmates are left stranded in Superjail, while Jared, Alice, and Jailbot go there seperate ways, seeking new job opportunities. |
| 12 | ** During the first half of the "Vacation" two-parter, The Warden, Jared, The Doctor, and the surviving inmates are trapped in a heavily disrepaired Jailboat while Alice and Jailbot are missing. |
| 13 | ** During the Superhell! arc, The Warden has gone mad with his newly acquired fire powers, Jared and the Doctor are left behind in Superhell, Jailbot is presumably dead, while Alice and Stingray head off to Ultraprison. |
| 14 | * EnsembleCast: During the first season, The Warden and Jared arguably had the most screen time and development, with Alice, Jailbot, and the rest of the inmates being satellite characters to their plots. Seasons 2 and onward expanded on the rest of the cast while the two take somewhat of a backseat in a lot of episodes. |
| 15 | * LackOfEmpathy: They really do not care about the inmates getting routinely massacred. It's all part of the job for them. |
| 16 | ** Somehow {{downplayed}}, since they have been shown to truly cares about at least some people. |
| 17 | * ALighterShadeOfBlack: To Stingray. While Stingray is an outright supervillain who deserves to be in Superjail, the staff at the very least are [[WellIntentionedExtremist Well Intentioned Extremists]] who are just doing their jobs. |
| 18 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: When it's not the Twins, you can count on them inevitably screwing a situation up and takings things FromBadToWorse. |
| 19 | * PlotArmor: Subverted. While they usually remain on top of the inmates -- even they can get caught up with the chaos. "Cold-Blooded" is a perfect example of how they can be victims of their own mayhem. |
| 20 | * MyGreatestFailure: The SeriesFinale reveals that they all share one involving The Superjail Six, the first six inmates to ever escape Superjail. The Warden feels as if it was his fault for letting them escape and undergoes a massive depressive state. Alice and Jared, on the other hand, are ashamed of their rookie mistakes in accidentally freeing them and [[BystanderSyndrome doing nothing to get them back]]. |
| 21 | * OddlySmallOrganization: DependingOnTheWriter. Some episodes depict the entire staff to just being the main four, The Doctor, and the few lunch ladies. Other episodes depict several robot/armored soldiers that act as security and Warden humanoids with giant eyeballs instead of heads acting as MissionControl. |
| 22 | * TookALevelInKindness: After season one, they become a little less heartless towards the inmates and are more prone to [[ThrowTheDogABone throw them a bone or two once in a while]]. |
| 23 | * VillainProtagonist: ''All'' of them to varying degrees. Jared is the least "villain" of the group, [[NotSoAboveItAll but he has moments]]. |

| 27 | ->'''Voiced by''': David Wain |
| 28 | |
| 29 | The founder of the titular prison, the Warden is an eccentric, twisted [[TheWonka Willy Wonka expy]] that has a flair for the dramatic. Although very childish on first glance, the Warden actually seems to be quite brilliant, considering he built the prison almost singlehandedly, along with all of the wild, wacky, overly complicated contraptions inside. |
| 30 | ---- |
| 31 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: Is this to Alice. He constantly tries flirt with her despite wanting nothing to do with him. |
| 32 | * BerserkButton: Killing any living thing in front of him is a really bad idea... |
| 33 | * BloodyHilarious: Gets this on many occasions such as have a giant pair of scissors being cut through his chest or having all of his bones taken out of his body. |
| 34 | * ButtMonkey: Zig-zagged. When it isn't Jared it tends to be him. |
| 35 | * ChildHater: The sight of one pure child makes makes him so angry that it results in him giving birth to a little, angry demon that represents his inner child. Given how much he hates his own childhood thanks to his abusive father, it's no wonder he gets angry, bitter, jealous and resentful towards the little cancer patient. |
| 36 | * ChildishToothGap: Has a noticeable gap between his front teeth and is a ManChild. However, if one of the Warden's drawings is to go by, then the "tooth gap" is possibly a missing tooth. |
| 37 | * CloudCuckoolander: It is very clear that The Warden lives in his own little happy world where everything goes his way -- and the jail reflects that. |
| 38 | * DependingOnTheWriter: Whether or not Superjail would be better off without his control. In "Time Police" and "Superfail!", the jail collapses when the Warden is not present. However in "The Superjail Six" where he is gone for six months, the prison ran just fine with jared and Alice in control. Ditto for "Best Friends Forever" where it seems like Superjail would really fall apart if Jailbot is missing, ''not'' The Warden. |
| 39 | * TheDitz: He becomes a lot less competent after the first season. likely due to his ManChild traits becoming more prominent. |
| 40 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He dearly loves Jailbot, was devastated when the former apparently malfunctioned fo good and initially refused to replace him, until Jared insisted. [[spoiler: He also seems to care about the former versions of Jailbot. Granted, he replaced and abandoned them in the deposit for years, but he showed guilt for it]]. It is also possible that he sees in Alice more than just looks. |
| 41 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: |
| 42 | ** The Warden is still traumatized [[spoiler: from his abusive childhood and openly admits his father's actions are bad memories.]] |
| 43 | ** In "Time-Police" he was shocked that the aforementioned Time-Police punished him for things he would have done in the future, even though he hasn't done them yet and promised he wouldn't. |
| 44 | * EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Everyone calls him the Warden. |
| 45 | * FauxAffablyEvil: The Warden can be really cordial and polite at times, too bad he runs a literal meat grinder he calls a jail and is ''severely'' shaky when it comes to his morality. Not to mention when he drops the politeness, he proves to be quite a rude fellow. |
| 46 | * FreudianExcuse: Good lord. Let's just say his dad put him through some rather....[[AbusiveParents questionable]] ordeals as a kid. |
| 47 | * HumiliationConga: He suffers two big ones in ''Best Friends Forever'' and ''Uh-Oh, It's Magic''. |
| 48 | * {{Jerkass}}: His treatment towards Jared is incredibly mean. He shows absolutely no respect towards him, Constantly belittles him at every moment, shows that he doesn't really care about him, and at times he even injures him. [[UndyingLoyalty Jared, on the other hand, constantly stands on his side and stays loyal to him]]. Jared isn't even safe from his asshole behavior either as the Superjail prisoners can attest too and even Alice herself was subjected to harsh behavior from him despite his [[VillainousCrush crush]] on her. |
| 49 | * KarmaHoudini: When it comes to his horrendous treatment towards Jared or to the rest of the inmates, he rarely gets punished for it. |
| 50 | * KarmaHoudiniWarranty: That being said... there have been moments where [[LaserGuidedKarma karma hits him hard]]. |
| 51 | ** The entirety of "Best Friends Forever" is one long massive HumiliationConga for the Warden, his peers actively manipulate him (yes including [[ExtremeDoormat Jared]]) to do jobs that all end up with the Warden being heavily mutilated. |
| 52 | ** In "Ghosts", when The Warden callously "pardons" all of the ghosts of the dead inmates in the afterlife, they immediately see right through his lies and all of them proceed to [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge beat the crap out of him in revenge]]. |
| 53 | ** "Superfail" has Jared finally attacking the Warden after repeatedly taunting him by calling him a failure. Needless to say, the chain reaction of violence culminates to The Warden being crushed alive by one of his massive eye-towers. |
| 54 | ** In "Uh Oh, It's Magic", he ends up in a similar position to Jared, where he is constantly humiliated and injured by his superiors, however unlike Jared, [[HumiliationConga The Warden has it much, much worse]]. |
| 55 | ** His constant flirtings towards Alice finally takes it's toll in "Special Needs", where the Warden in an attempt to yet again flirt with her, ends up with him being severely injured (such as having all of his bones ripped out of his body) and ends up in a bodycast. |
| 56 | ** In "Jean & Paul & Beefy & Alice", The Warden becomes increasingly more frustrated when it turns out that Jared is actually better at golf than him. [[TheDogBitesBack Jared milks it for all it's worth, most notably when he decides to crush the Warden's hand and then whacks him in the crotch with a golf club upon finding out that he's cheating]]. |
| 57 | * LackOfEmpathy: He's a PsychopathicManchild to a T, who tortures people dilly without guilt and rarely feels guilt. One of the only things he's ever felt any guilt for is... breaking up the gay couple. {{Downplayed}}, since he geniuenly cares about [=JailBot=], might see more in Alice than just her looks and even told Jared to relax, despite picking on him on a daily basis. |
| 58 | * LargeHam: The Warden really loves to play out his role as a TheWonka and often uses his [[RealityWarper reality-warping]] powers to play up his dramatics. |
| 59 | %%* LetsGetDangerous: Most notably during the Season One finale.%%ZCE |
| 60 | * MadGod: The Warden shows off almost god-like control over everything and anything within Superjail and its own "reality". He often bends reality to his own fanciful, psychotic whims, much to the misfortune of others. |
| 61 | * MadScientist: There is no other explanation for his Clone-a-majig, or the ten thousand other useless killing machines he's made. |
| 62 | * ManChild: Even lampshaded by the Mistress. In the first season, he treats his jail like an ''actual'' jail. After the first season, he begins to treat the jail less like a facility that holds prisoners and more like a glorified playground-like {{Egopolis}}. One where he spends more of his time trying to have fun than actually running the place. [[OnlySaneMan Jared frequently tells him off for this]] but he hardly ever [[DudeWheresMyRespect listens]]. |
| 63 | * MetaphoricMetamorphosis: The Warden exploits his shapeshifting ability to make a lot of {{Visual Pun}}s. |
| 64 | ** There's that time when he turns himself into a beer glass when talking about coworkers spending quality time in a bar and, shortly after, into a worker bee when declaring that it's time to go back to work. |
| 65 | ** In another episode, the Warden intends to miniaturize a couple of inmates so they can battle the forces of nature. Cue to him dressing them as a gladiator and a XIXth century soldier. |
| 66 | ** While lamenting over how he and fellow prison guard Alice have ruined the purest thing in Superjail, aka love (born of convenience and limited options), he is suddenly wearing baby cupid's typical diaper and feathery wings. |
| 67 | * MisterSeahorse: He literally gives birth to his murderous inner child. |
| 68 | * NonActionGuy: The Warden isn't what you call a fighter. He usually sends out Alice, Jailbot, [[GodzillaThreshold or even the inmates]] to deal with his enemies. Made apparent when he gets his ass kicked by the inmates in "Best Friends Forever" where Alice and Jailbot were MIA at the time. However, when he pretends to be Jailbot and tries to apprehend Jacknife, he gets some good punches in on Jacknife, proving that he's not a total weakling. |
| 69 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Of both Willy Wonka and his voice actor David Wain, [[EpilepticTrees while some fans also believe]] he looks similar to the SS member Josef Mengele. Cane, gloves, haircut, gap between his teeth, and occasionally whistling a merry tune. |
| 70 | * PetTheDog: Has shown his kinder side from time to time. |
| 71 | ** His treatment to all of his workers (sans Jared) is surprisingly kind, almost bordering on BenevolentBoss levels. |
| 72 | ** In "Don't Be a Negaton", after seeing how stressed out Jared is, he invites D.L. Diamond to help relax him along with all of the workers, [[YankTheDogsChain it doesn't work when Jared finds out the truth about D.L.]] |
| 73 | ** In "Vacation", he genuinely treats everyone to a vaction in the sky with no catches or schemes in mind. |
| 74 | ** In "Uh Oh, It's Magic", he has a massive FriendshipMoment with Jared at the end, where they forgive each other for their behaviors and even team up to stop a riot. |
| 75 | * PoliticallyCorrectVillain: The Warden never shows hostility towards people based on their race, ethnicity, gender or background. He has absolutely nothing against gays, being even thrilled to organize and participate at the gay inmates' wedding. He isn't bothered by transgender individuals at all, considering he is into Alice. Also, he showed genuine respect for the disabled inmates for their optimistic outlook in life and badassery. |
| 76 | * PsychopathicManchild: He's an immature man who enjoys constructing things that will (inadvertently) kill Superjail's inmates. |
| 77 | * RepressedMemories: [[spoiler: Implied to have repressed a lot of his abusive childhood]] |
| 78 | * RealityWarper: While he doesn't often change things or people other than himself, the Warden has expressed abilities that qualify him as this. It's implied he didn't always have these strange powers, and may only have them within Superjail itself. He also only ever seems to use it to [[MetaphoricMetamorphosis express himself]]. |
| 79 | * RoundHippieShades: He's rarely ever seen without those glasses, with the exception of the time he dressed as a luchadore for Superjail's fight club. |
| 80 | * TookALevelInDumbass: In season one, Warden was shown to be a wacky but still mostly competent. By season three however, the Warden's intelligence has dipped to an almost [[ManChild childlike level]] doing things such as: finding an imaginary creature inside his own jail or building an entire cruise ship for the prisoners to vacation on. |
| 81 | * TookALevelInKindness: ''Relatively'' speaking of course. Starting on season two, The Warden has becomre far less antagonistic than before, often being depicted as a [[TheDitz Ditzy]] ManChild rather than his almost insane and sadistic personality shown prior. He also treats Jared considerably better than before. [[DependingOnTheWriter Well, most of the time anyways]]. |
| 82 | * TroubledBackstoryFlashback: [[spoiler: Warden gets one once he's knocked unconscious in "Superfail". It involves his father forcing him to [[ShootTheDog kill a puppy]].]] |
| 83 | ** [[spoiler: There's another one in "Burn Stoolie Burn", though it's less openly grim. Child Warden wants a pony, but his father plans to turn all the ponies into glue.]] |
| 84 | ** [[spoiler: His worst memory in "Superhell!"? His father forcing him to pull the lever to hang a group of inmates. Complete with matching purple executioners hood.]] |
| 85 | * VillainousCrush: Towards Alice. Too bad she doesn't reciprocate. |
| 86 | * VillainProtagonist: A glaring example. He's the cause of all the chaos in Superjail, the innumerable amount of deaths seen across the show, and shows little to remorse about it. It's telling that if he ''ever'' expanded Superjail, he would slowly turn into a power-hungry dictator that will take over the world. |
| 87 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Above all else, The Warden isn't ''truly'' evil as most would believe. He really just wants run a prison in what he thinks is the "correct" way. He's very wrong obviously, as he causes much '''much''' more bad than good, but it's all in what he believes is right. |
| 88 | * TheWonka: A ''literal'' Wonka expy. The Warden is obviously completely insane, but '''nothing''' functions in Superjail without him -- so much so that the place collapses in a matter of minutes when he's taken by the Time Police. |

| 92 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/xilcco4x8bajoczfeutkaaaaasuvork5cyii.png]] |
| 93 | ->'''Voiced by''': Teddy Cohn |
| 94 | |
| 95 | The Warden's vertically challenged, neurotic, formerly alcoholic assistant. Actually, he seems to be a recovering offender of just about every addiction known to man, including smoking, drinking, sex, gambling, drugs, and more. Interestingly enough, Jared first arrived in the prison as an inmate, after formerly working for the Mafia. |
| 96 | ---- |
| 97 | * BeleagueredAssistant: Jared only sticks with The Warden because he owes him his job. And might be attracted to him. |
| 98 | * BerserkButton: Don't call him a failure, push him too far, or let him give in to the temptation of being drunk, or you'll soon be in trouble. |
| 99 | * BrokenBird: That is, if fifteen years of depression didn't give it away. |
| 100 | * ButtMonkey: Practically ''the'' Butt Monkey of the show. He can barely get a break without being yelled at or humiliated by his boss or Alice, beat up by inmates, or winding up succumbing to pressure and his addictions. |
| 101 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Later seasons have been showing his much more competent side. In "Superfail!", he manages to fight off an army of giant malicious mutants along with the Doctor. In "Uh Oh, It's Magic" he shows that he's master in magic and manages to stop a massive prison break using his magic with help from The Warden. Or in "Superstorm!", where he saves Charise's life, at the cost of being struck by lightning. [[MadeOfIron He survives though]]. |
| 102 | * DependingOnTheArtist: Has either blue or brown eyes in the occasional moments when he's depicted with irises. It depends on the given colorist for an episode. However, [[RedEyesTakeWarning they tend to turn red]] when he's angered. |
| 103 | * DitzyGenius: Jared is supposed to be an intelligent man who knows his mathematics, but when trying to prove to everyone that Space Dust is a deadly substance in ''Negaton'', the first thing he does is [[TooDumbToLive snort up a large dosage of the dust himself.]] |
| 104 | * TheDogBitesBack: Although very rarely, Jared has lashed out on the Warden on three seperate occasions: |
| 105 | ** In "Dream Machine", he teams up with all of the other workers and prisoners to stop the Warden when he goes mad with dream power. |
| 106 | ** In ''Superfail'', the Warden taunts Jared by continuously calling him a [[BerserkButton failure]]. This gets to the point that Jared pushes him down a massive staircase, causing a brutally long chain-reaction of the Warden being beat up before eventually getting crushed by one of the eye-towers. Jared is at first, shocked on what he has done. But rather than helping him, Jared decides to run Superjail by himself despite the Warden being heavily injured. |
| 107 | ** In ''Jean and Paul and Beefy and Alice'', the Warden tries to cheat on his and Jared's [[SeriousBusiness mini-golf game]]. Jared eventually catches onto this, he crushes the Warden's hand and then whacks his [[GroinAttack crotch]] with a golf club! |
| 108 | * DudeWheresMyRespect: He gets this treatment a lot from the Warden. |
| 109 | * EyepatchOfPower: He gets one in the dystopian future. |
| 110 | * ForeheadOfDoom: His head is MASSIVE. |
| 111 | * FourFingeredHands: Is intended to have these, but sometimes an artist will goof and he'll have the standard five on each. |
| 112 | * IOweYouMyLife: Was actually among the first prisoners brought to Superjail, but was offered a position from the Warden, due to his analytical expertise. |
| 113 | * NervousWreck: Constantly freaks out and is paranoid over everything. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] though, considering how crazy and life threatening his job is. |
| 114 | * NoodleIncident: Jared's entire LIFE seems to be one giant Noodle Incident. All viewers know is that he's a recovering addict (to gambling, alcohol, cocaine, and food) and was once diagnosed with clinical depression. |
| 115 | * OffTheWagon: He falls off one wagon or another every few episodes - he's been revealed as TheGamblingAddict, TheAlcoholic... |
| 116 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: When angered or drugged, his irises can be seen as this color. |
| 117 | * ShorterMeansSmarter: possibly combined with MyBrainIsBig. |
| 118 | * TraumaCongaLine: Goes through this in the events of a few episodes throughout the show, and his flashbacks in "Hot Chick" indicate that his whole life before the jail was just one ''long'' line of misfortune and trauma. |
| 119 | * ThrowTheDogABone: While season one has Jared being the absolute [[TheChewToy Chew Toy]] of the whole show, seasons two and on has him faring much more better than previously. |
| 120 | ** After four seasons of absolute hell, the show ends with him and Charise in a (mostly) stable relationship. |
| 121 | * TokenGoodTeammate: He's the only member of the staff who (usually) isn't violently psychotic towards the inmates and tends to object to plans that may seem too immoral or cruel. This is quite surprising considering he was originally onee of the first inmates sent to the jail. |
| 122 | * YankTheDogsChain: Basically sums up his whole relationship with Charise and the difficulties. He seems to finally find someone who understands him, but the two can't get together as she's dragged back to her own prison. They later attempt to keep in contact, but his attempt at getting her to help him in a disaster leads to the Mistress intercepting his call and deciding to conquer Superjail, demoting both him and the Warden to inmates in the process. The two then attempt to get their bosses to sleep together in order for the Warden to be given back power and for the jails to be united (so they themselves can get together), but ''that'' fails, double when [[spoiler: Alice]] sleeps with the Mistress instead and she departs from Superjail (taking Charise with her once more). Then in the season 3 finale, [[spoiler: Jared programmed his escape pod specifically to go to Ultraprison but was pushed out of it by Lord Stingray]]. |

| 127 | ->'''Voiced by''': Christy Karacas |
| 128 | |
| 129 | The muscular, transgender prison guard. The Warden has a crush on her, though regulations prevent them from dating... not that Alice would want to, anyway. |
| 130 | ---- |
| 131 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: Is this to "Sweet Cheeks". |
| 132 | %%* Action Girl: Practically the only one in the cast.%%ZCE - how is she an Action Girl? |
| 133 | * AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Regularly has her way with the violent inmates, whether they want her to or not. |
| 134 | * BadassNormal: While The Warden is a RealityWarper within Superjail, Jailbot is a WalkingArsenal and Jared has mastery in magic, all Alice has is [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower pure muscle power]] and the skill to use it. |
| 135 | * BondageIsBad: Alice seems to have a thing for S&M. This is usually played for black comedy and gross-out humor, and her partners do not seem willing. |
| 136 | * BrawnHilda: Though a slight variation in that she didn't always have her current appearance. She ranges from being the gruff and sadistic type to having a more motherly and feminine side. Most men fear her brutality, except if they're the Warden of course. |
| 137 | * CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Has demonstrated feats of strength well beyond human limits. It helps that most of the inmates are MadeOfPlasticine. |
| 138 | * ChildHater: In the episode "Hot Chick", when the Hunter told Alice that she wanted the Twins, Alice misinterprets her as wanting to have children and replies with "Not me. I hate kids!" Note that this contradicts later episodes, where it is hinted that she wants to be a mother and shows a very caring side towards [[LittlestCancerPatient Cancer]]. |
| 139 | * CoolShades: Triangular cat-eye ones. They're briefly removed in "Stingstress", but she conveniently has her eyes closed so we never see her eyes. |
| 140 | * DeadpanSnarker: She plays this part quite a bit, owing to her usually being blunt and to the point in her dialogue. |
| 141 | * EasySexChange: She's a trans woman. She herself [[LampshadeHanging remarks that she hasn't gotten her bulge removed]]. She considers her time as "Al" to have been a mere phase, and won't take anyone calling her a "dude". While Jared has mocked her at least twice on this topic, the Warden doesn't mind at all. |
| 142 | * FanDisservice: She ends up in many fanservice-y situations but her rather... distinct looks makes everyone in her vicinity to be grossed out (including the audience). |
| 143 | * ILoveTheDead: "Cold Blooded" sees her forcing herself on the corpse of a deadly serial killer. |
| 144 | * {{Irony}}: Invoked in her backstory. She was in love with her old warden when she was "Big Al". She began transitioning as she felt she'd found her "true self" and could finally be together with him- only to discover that said warden was a gay man. The presentation of her backstory in that way has lead to [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation debate among fans]] if she truly identified as a woman or just transitioned to escape the stigma of being seen as gay. |
| 145 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Comes across as one of the most sociopathic, violence-loving, disgusting character. But she has her moments of kindness. |
| 146 | * MamaBear: Had shades of this when Cancer was found in the prison, being shocked to discover a child had somehow gotten in and was prepared to murder whoever was responsible for it. When she found out Ash and the inmates were taking care of her and planning a birthday party, Alice joins in on the fun and gives the girl a makeover. [[spoiler: She's also moved to tears when Cancer dies.]] |
| 147 | * MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: The Masculine to Jared's Feminine. |
| 148 | * MsFanservice: Likes to think of herself as this and dress in revealing outfits from time to time, though only the Warden is pleased by what she wears. |
| 149 | * OneManArmy: Is the only guard in the whole facility, and has no problems keeping things in relative order. |
| 150 | * OpaqueLenses: The only time you can get a hint at her eyes is in the "Stingstress" example, or when a zombie version of her in the Warden's dream had a bit of her (red) eye revealed. Otherwise, they're entirely hidden. |
| 151 | * SunglassesAtNight: [[LimitedWardrobe And all the time]]. |
| 152 | * SupremeChef: Combined with a touch of InstantExpert. Turns out she can cook on a gourmet level, despite no previous experience. |

| 157 | |
| 158 | The jail's DoAnythingRobot. He usually starts the episode off by capturing Jacknife. |
| 159 | ---- |
| 160 | * ArtificialFamilyMember: Jailbot once dreamed that the Warden - his creator - was his father. Also, in "Best Friends Forever" the Warden called himself "Jailbot's papa" and in "Jailbot 2.0" he was devasted when Jailbot malfunctioned and mentioned that he "created Jailbot at his finest hour". |
| 161 | * AxCrazy: Not only does he brutally torture and harm Jacknife after capturing him, he'll also gladly destroy almost every other life form in his path to do so. |
| 162 | * CovertPervert: He may seem like an innocent, childish robot, but has been spotted ogling over photos of copy machines as if they were centerfolds, as well as trying to dry-hump a vending machine (and even the [[BodyHorror space fungus]]) on two different occasions. |
| 163 | * ADayInTheLimelight |
| 164 | ** "Best Friends Forever", where he and Jacknife are stranded in the outer zones after their routine pick up goes wrong. |
| 165 | ** "Jailbot 2.0", where Jailbot (seemingly) gets too old for use and is replaced. |
| 166 | ** "Jean & Paul & Beefy & Alice", despite the title, Jailbot has a crucial plot where he desperately looks for someone to love. |
| 167 | * EverythingIsAnIpodInTheFuture: While not from the future, his design seems to invoke this look. |
| 168 | * FriendlyEnemy: With Jacknife as of "Best Friends Forever". |
| 169 | * FriendToAllChildren: Kids seem to be his only soft spot (and even ''that'' has its limits). |
| 170 | * GoodOldRobot: He is considered by Nova to be a "retro" unit and does not hold the same amount of capabilities as she does. Becomes a plot point in "Jailbot 2.0" where he finally starts showing his age and limitations. The staff ultimately decide to keep him around out of genuine affection. |
| 171 | * IJustWantToBeLoved: After witnessing two peacocks embracing themselves in the wild, Jailbot gets obsessed with love. Unfortunately he falls in love with [[AlienKudzu the space fungus]] and it slowly infects everyone. |
| 172 | * KarmicTrickster: Whenever Jacknife does something wrong, Jailbot is sure to give his just desserts. |
| 173 | * NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Lands most beings he fights into a world of hurt. |
| 174 | * PetTheDog: Jailbot sometimes rescues Jacknife from life-threatening situations during the ColdOpen. Of course it's to bring him back to Superjail but he could have easily left him there for dead. |
| 175 | * RobotBuddy: For the Warden. |
| 176 | * TheSpeechless: He just has his dot matrix face and beeping noises to communicate with. |
| 177 | * SuperPersistentPredator: He will stop at nothing to apprehend criminals, especially Jacknife. |
| 178 | * ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: Armed with a heavy arsenal of destructive weapons to obliterate anything (and anyone) that gets in his way. |
| 179 | * TransformingMecha: He can disguise himself as just about anything, from inanimate objects to human beings and animals. |
| 180 | * WalkingArmory: From hammers, to axes, and even [[DeathRay death rays]]. If it can kill, he's probably packing it. |
| 181 | * TheWorfEffect: He was practically invincible in season 1. Later season have him easily dispatched with one solid punch. |

| 185 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aaculoi7eyleaaaaaelftksuqmcc.png]] |
| 186 | ->'''Voiced by''': Chris [=McCulloch=] |
| 187 | |
| 188 | A MadScientist with a German accent, he is in charge of Superjail's scientific and technological advancements (mostly horrifying hybrids). He gets a much more prominent role in Season 2. |
| 189 | ---- |
| 190 | * AscendedExtra: In Season 1 he only sporadically appears, he has a much bigger role in season 2, and he's a regular by season 3, hanging out with the other employees more often. |
| 191 | * BadassNormal: [[spoiler: In the season two finale, Alice and Jailbot are gone, and the Doctor, the Warden and Jared have been tied up by some of the prisoners left behind on the ship. The Doctor reveals that he was a former soldier, single-handedly kills the prisoner guarding them, takes his weapons and frees the others. They also fight a bunch of snake monsters, and when they run out of ammunition, the Doctor keeps killing the creatures with a knife, telling them to "Suck it up!"]] |
| 192 | * BetterToDieThanBeKilled: In the SeriesFinale, he takes a suicide pill in a false tooth when believing that the lizard people are going to kill him and the staff. |
| 193 | * BodyHorror: His motif when it comes to his inventions is using the inmate's body parts to whatever thing he is making. Also he has nipples on his back to breastfeed his babies. |
| 194 | * EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Everyone calls him the Doctor. |
| 195 | * FatBastard: An overweight and insane man he is. |
| 196 | * ForScience: Seems to be why he does most of the things he does. |
| 197 | * FourEyesZeroSoul: His glasses do all they can to hide any madness behind them. |
| 198 | * {{Gonk}}: Even more so than Alice and Jared. |
| 199 | * HerrDoktor: Quite obviously a German doctor. |
| 200 | * HiddenDepths: He is not only an absolutely deranged scientist, but is also apparently very knowledgeable about drugs, genuinely seems to love his “children” (I.e. mangled creations), and was apparently an experienced war vet with some impressive combat skills. |
| 201 | * MixAndMatchCritters: His creations are a strange mixture of various employees, inmates, animals, and robotic parts. |
| 202 | * PetTheDog: After seeing just how distraught Jared was when [[spoiler: he stole Charise from him]], the Doctor decided to make a frankenstein-esque clone of her to give to him. [[HopeSpot Things go bad]] when it turns out [[spoiler: that the clone is kinkier than the real Charise]]. |
| 203 | * SixthRanger: Was not firmly established as a main character until the second season. |
| 204 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He appears briefly at the beginning of "Time-Police Part 1," but is nowhere to be found after Superjail shuts down. |
| 205 | * WildCard: He's either useful to the staff when dealing with a situation or ends up being a SpannerInTheWorks and makes things even worse depending on the episode. |
| 206 | [[/folder]] |
| 207 | |
| 208 | [[folder:Lunch Ladies (Janice, Cookie, and others)]] |
| 209 | ->'''Voiced by''': Stephen Warbrick |
| 210 | |
| 211 | A group of cafeteria workers that are among the minor staff. They're obsessed with using anything and everything in their recipes, even unlucky humans that may cross their path. |
| 212 | ---- |
| 213 | * ADayInTheLimeLight: "Nightshift" shares this with the Vegetable Garden. |
| 214 | * BrawnHilda: They all have the same brawny large build, and are all rough and abrasive in attitude. |
| 215 | * ImAHumanitarian: Have no qualms about killing and using inmates in their dishes. The Grand Prix episode even shows they have a special room for collecting dead bodies for use in their cooking. |
| 216 | * OpaqueLenses: As with Alice, you never get really get a glimpse of their eyes behind the glasses, save for a bit in "Cold-Blooded" where Janice's eye can be somewhat seen behind her shattered glasses (after the serial killer stabs her). |
| 217 | * TheyKilledKennyAgain: Janice (the leader) appears most often, and is usually killed or mutilated in some way. In "Nightshift", the entire cafeteria staff is slaughtered at the start, but later return and are shown to have even more reinforcements to fight the vegetable monsters. |

| 220 | !!Superjail Inmates |
| 221 | |
| 222 | [[folder:Inmates (as a whole)]] |
| 223 | * AssholeVictim: ''Many'' of them honestly deserve their violent deaths. |
| 224 | * AlwaysChaoticEvil: Frequently portrayed as violent, easily agitated, and a loose sense of reality. They're not all like this though. Downplayed after the first two seasons, where they get just a little better than before. |
| 225 | * AscendedExtra: Combined with MauveShirt, this can happen to any of these guys when the writers favor particular designs. While an extended role sometimes means they'll be luckier in the bloodbath sequences, that's not always the case. |
| 226 | * TheChewToy: Constantly subjected to all sorts of mayhem and violence. |
| 227 | * EnemyMine: They often have to team up with the staff in order to defeat an even [[EvilerThanThou worse threat]]. How much this actually succeeds [[DependingOnTheWriter depends on the writer]]. |
| 228 | * Gonk: Just about every inmate is extremely ugly, to one degree or another. Nicky is just about the most normal-looking person in the facility. |
| 229 | * InstitutionalApparel: The standard orange jumpsuits. |
| 230 | * LivingProp: A good deal of them, justified by the fact that there are so many inmates and that most kind of have to exist as cannon fodder. If someone on the production team winds up taking a liking to certain ones, this trope winds up averted. |
| 231 | * MauveShirt: Aside from the main recurring inmates, there are a handful inmates that prove to be more smart and at the very least, less violent than the rest of the AlwaysChaoticEvil inmates. They tend to survive the usual massacre/battle at the end of every episode through competency and quick-thinking. |
| 232 | * PetTheDog: They have their moments of kindness. |
| 233 | ** Pretty much any time they team up with the staff to defeat a bigger threat. |
| 234 | ** In "Mr. Grumpy-Pants", they treat Cancer as if she's their own kid and are [[OutOfCharacterMoment upset when she finally passes]]. |
| 235 | ** Played extremely subtly in "Dream Machine". During the Warden's first nightmare, all the inmates brutally (and painfully) murder the staff -- except for [[ButtMonkey Jared]], who has his neck sliced. |
| 236 | * PunnyName: If any receive names, they tend to fall along this pattern. |
| 237 | * RedShirt: Often a subject to several violent experiments and mechanisms. |
| 238 | * [[TattooedCrook Tattooed Crooks]]: A number of them bear many tattoos, some of which were actual gang symbols that the writers and animators had studied and added in an attempt to make them look more realistic. |
| 239 | * ThoseTwoGuys: There's a duo of unimpressed guys that pop up every now and then. While they're not name-dropped and aren't as central as the main group of inmates through the later seasons, they tend to appear when there's an extended group. |
| 240 | * ZergRush: The nearly endless amount of inmates that can be sent into battle proves to be useful during many episodes. |

| 242 | [[folder:Jacknife]] |
| 243 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/d3pco9y5fxmiaaaaaelftksuqmcc.png]] |
| 244 | ->'''Voiced by''': Christy Karacas |
| 245 | |
| 246 | The repeat offender criminal who almost always gets sent to Superjail for some crime he committed or chaos he caused [[note]](''almost always'' being the operative phrase here, as one episode had Jailbot accidentally take a serial killer back who was using Jacknife's face as a mask while Jacknife was chained to the wall, the season one finale where Superjail is shut down had Jacknife go to a real-world prison after trying to rob a bank, and the episode where Jailbot malfunctions had Jailbot actually take Jacknife out of Superjail and put him on the streets)[[/note]]. |
| 247 | ---- |
| 248 | * AllMenArePerverts: Especially if they're Jacknife. He's been spotted as quite the lecher in a few of the opening sequences, although Jailbot will swiftly put a stop to it. He even tried to [[ILoveTheDead have his way with a corpse]] before Jailbot [[GroinAttack literally grabs him by the balls]]. |
| 249 | * AxCrazy: He's clearly highly violent and unstable, and if bystanders don't fear him at first sight, they soon see what trouble he can be. |
| 250 | * BadassNormal: Holds this distinction for his status as Superjail's only repeat visitor. His ability to constantly escape and survive Superjail as well as the often brutal times Jailbot recaptures him singles him out above the other inmates. |
| 251 | * ButtMonkey: Jailbot usually lands him in a world of hurt when he re-captures him at the beginning of each episode. |
| 252 | * CreepyBlueEyes: Has been consistently depicted with these, whenever the animators choose to give him irises in reaction shots (such as him being startled). |
| 253 | * ADayInTheLimelight |
| 254 | ** "Best Friends Forever", where him and Jailbot are stranded in the outer dimensions and they a form a shaky friendship. |
| 255 | ** "Oedipus Mess", where The Warden [[SendInTheClones clones hundreds of him]] and they wreak havoc across the globe. |
| 256 | * FreudianExcuse and AbusiveParents: The reason Jacknife is a criminal is because his father pretty much ruined his childhood by selling off his toys for booze and drugs. In the beginning of one episode, Jacknife sees a boy playing with toys in a sandbox and has a flashback of this horrible childhood event and begins crying and rushing into the sandbox so he can relive his childhood (until Jailbot drags him off to Superjail). |
| 257 | * ILoveTheDead: Was arrested one time for grave-robbing, and nearly having sex with a female corpse (fortunately, it was Jailbot disguised as a female corpse, so there's no {{Squick}} that happened there). |
| 258 | * IronButtMonkey: There currently hasn't been a single time in the series where Jacknife has died on-screen, regardless of how painful his re-capturement is. However, he was implied to be killed by the vengeful spirit of his father in "Ghosts", and a FunnyBackgroundEvent showed the two spirits continuing to fight throughout Limbo. |
| 259 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Jacknife considers himself the priority, others are simply unimportant maggots he can use and discard whenever he wants to. |
| 260 | * {{Jerkass}}: Jared wasn't kidding when he said that Jacknife is their most unruly inmate. |
| 261 | * KavorkaMan: Is apparently quite a ladies' man (at least to teenage girls on the show and some loony fans in the fandom), despite being an ugly, sleazy, drug-addicted, overly-tattooed psychopath. |
| 262 | * LackOfEmpathy: He does not care much for other people's suffering. In fact, ''he'' may be the one causing other people to suffer without a care in the world. |
| 263 | * MadeOfIron: He's survived abuse that would easily kill a typical Superjail character (and pretty much ''any real life person'' for that matter). |
| 264 | * MesACrowd: Is cloned 10,000 times in "Oedipus Mess". His clones proceed to violently attack and kill each other, before attempting to escape the jail as he always does. |
| 265 | %%* OddCouple: With Jailbot.%%ZCE |
| 266 | * OhCrap: He ''always'' has a terrified reaction right before Jailbot captures him [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown and for good reason]]. |
| 267 | * PetTheDog: Despite being a total pervert and asshole, he has his very rare moments of kindness. |
| 268 | ** In "Best Friends Forever", he forms a friendship with Jailbot and even tries to save him from certain death. |
| 269 | ** In "Oedipus Mess", he can't bring himself to abandon his only son -- [[LikeFatherLikeSon so they break out of Superjail together]]. |
| 270 | *** During the ColdOpen, he hastily rescues a batch of newborns he accidentally threw over a staircase. Keep in mind that he usually isn't above scamming children. |
| 271 | * PlotIrrelevantVillain: Jacknife rarely ever interacts with the main characters other than Jailbot. His purpose is to mainly foreshadow the events of the main plot during the ColdOpen. |
| 272 | * PrisonEscapeArtist: He is imprisoned at the start, and escapes at the end, of every episode. |
| 273 | * SmarterThanYouLook: The ColdOpening always shows him as a reckless, idiotic, impulsive, AxCrazy {{Jerkass}} -- but has somehow survived through ''all'' of Superjail's chaotic schemes and is able to oustmart the staff frequently to escape. |
| 274 | * TheSociopath: Jacknife is quite the psychopath, particularly a low-functioning one. LackOfEmpathy? Check. [[ItsAllAboutMe Self-centered]]? Check. Disregard for the law? Check. [[AxCrazy Violent]]?, Check. [[StupidEvil Impulsive]]?, Check. Irresponsible? Check. [[AllMenArePerverts High sexual drive?]] Check. Yup, Jacknife ticks the boxes for psychopathy alright. |
| 275 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: His father was a fat, middle-aged, balding version of him. He also winds up having an illegitimate son who already bears tattoos and his hairstyle as an infant. |
| 276 | * StupidEvil: He tends to take many risks and does not tend to plan his crimes well enough to get away with it, usually resulting in a beatdown by Jailbot or getting punished by other people and getting sent back to Superjail as a result. However, he's still able to survive the havoc in Superjail and even escape the place much of the time, so he's not ''that'' stupid. |
| 277 | * TattooedCrook: He sports some tattoos on his arms and hands. Some of them tend to come and go, depending on who's drawing him for a shot. |
| 278 | * TheUnintelligible: Only speaks in various grunts and yells. This was a compromise made between the show creator, Christy Karacas, and Creator/CartoonNetwork. Originally, the entire series was supposed to have no dialogue in it (save for the occasional grunts, groans, screams, and wails), but Cartoon Network objected. Karacas decided to just make the cold openings with Jacknife committing a crime and getting caught by Jailbot dialogue-free (more or less). |
| 279 | * WouldHitAGirl: He lusts after women, though he's fine with attacking them as well. |
| 280 | * WouldHurtAChild: Children aren't safe from him either. |

| 285 | |
| 286 | A bespectacled inmate and his bird. Or alternatively, a super-intelligent bird and his handler. The two of them are said to be at the top of the inmate food chain, with Bird being especially dangerous [[note]]This was evident in their season 1 Adult Swim profile where they were listed as "Bird and Gary", and it indicating that Bird was the boss of the two. Later seasons seem to indicate Gary being more in control.[[/note]] |
| 287 | ---- |
| 288 | * ADayInTheLimelight: In "Uh-Oh, It's Magic", [[spoiler:where the two formulate a complicated plan to break out using a dummy]]. |
| 289 | * GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: Bird can be seen smoking a miniature cigarette at times, and Gary himself has been seen on a smoke break or two. |
| 290 | * MauveShirt: Gary gets a lot more screentime in season 3, with Bird at his side as usual, even though he mostly serves to be a silent observer to the chaos and bloodbaths. [[spoiler: Well, aside from the twist in "Uh Oh, It's Magic"]] |
| 291 | * OrganAutonomy: [[spoiler:His vocal chords seem to possess a sort of...possessing effect. First with The Rat, and then Prison Peedee]]. |
| 292 | * OutOfFocus: Early Season 1 production materials suggest that the two were originally going to be significant characters. They only ended up with a few major appearances, mostly just having small bit parts. |
| 293 | * SinisterShades: His glasses completely obscure his eyes, and make him incredibly difficult to read. They even get a sinister glint in "Mr. Grumpy-Pants". |
| 294 | * TheStoic: Aside from being silent, Gary's facial expression really doesn't change too much and he barely shows much emotion. There are a few exceptions every now and then [[note]]Such as his horrified reaction to Alice's genitalia in "Vacation", seeing some traumatizing sex in "Stingstress", being depicted as happy to be hanging around Cancer in "Mr. Grumpy-Pants", and shown to be visibly delighted at the birth of Bird's human/bird hybrid baby in "Time-Police part 2"[[/note]]. |
| 295 | * VocalDissonance: [[spoiler:Gary's thrown voice is shrieky, shrill, and loud, contrasting with his emotionless appearance.]] |
| 296 | * TheVoiceless: Gary hasn't made a single sound in all his appearances so far. [[spoiler: We later learn this is due to his tongue being cut out.]] |
| 297 | ** SuddenlyVoiced: [[spoiler: As Prison Peedee in "Uh-Oh, It's Magic". Rendered permanently voiceless after the Warden cuts out his vocal chords.]] |
| 298 | * XanatosGambit: [[spoiler:They pull one off in "The Last Pack"]]. |

| 304 | ->'''Voiced by''': Stephen Warbrick (Jean), Chris [=McCulloch=] (Paul) |
| 305 | |
| 306 | A recurring gay couple seen at the jail, and known initially as simply "The Gay Inmates" or "The Gays" (although the latter term is still used to describe them as a duo, such as in "Superjail! Grand Prix"). Paul is the more talkative and flamboyant of the two, while Jean tends to speak less and act more gruff. |
| 307 | ---- |
| 308 | * AscendedExtra: Went from background characters to being minor characters, having at least some role in most Season 2 episodes and even two DayInTheLimelight episodes (one for season 2, the other for season 3). |
| 309 | * BuryYourGays: Averted, most of the time anyway. They usually manage to survive Superjail's bloodbaths. |
| 310 | ** Exceptions include the Warden crushing them with his foot in "Dream Machine", both being slaughtered by Jailbot at the end of "Planet Radio", and Jean appearing to be massacred with the rest of the inmates at the start of "Cold-Blooded" (he's seen alive later in the episode, anyway). There's also a bit in "Mayhem Donor" where they seem to be attacked and mutilated by the organ monster in the shower, but [[NegativeContinuity are later seen elsewhere at the same time, alive and well]]. |
| 311 | %%* CampGay: Paul. |
| 312 | * ADayInTheLimelight |
| 313 | ** In "Gay Wedding", where their plans to get married gets shaken up by the staff. |
| 314 | ** In "Sticky Discharge", where Paul becomes Superjail's first parole. |
| 315 | ** In "Jean & Paul & Beefy & Alice", where they team up with Alice and Beefy against a BodyHorror-induced space-fungus infestation. |
| 316 | * DependingOnTheArtist: Jean used to have a swastika tattoo depicted on top of his scalp, presumably to denote him as being from the batch of white supremacist inmates (and making his relationship with Paul look ironic). Some season 2 artists downplayed its appearance, and it was gone completely by season 3 [[note]]Although it's never been clarified either way if Standards and Practices had anything to do with this, there's speculation that the missing tattoo might be due to the fact that Jean's meant to be played more sympathetically in the later episodes.[[/note]] |
| 317 | * FreudianExcuse: We learn in "Gay Wedding" that Jean was imprisoned for stabbing his father, who seemed to be unaccepting of his orientation. When Jean and his father are put in the same room once more, he wastes no time in trying to finish the old man off. In contrast, Paul seemed to have a better relationship with his parents (and according to season 3, was only imprisoned due to a drug bust). |
| 318 | * GivenNameReveal: Not just their given names, but their surnames as well in "Gay Wedding". |
| 319 | * MeaningfulName: Their surnames play upon their orientation. |
| 320 | * NoBrows: Both of them lack eyebrows. |
| 321 | * NoNameGiven: They were nameless until "Gay Wedding". The previous episode, "Hot Chick", even simply has their names listed as "Gay" and "Gay" in their prison file. See Given Name Reveal. |
| 322 | * RetiredBadass: They used to be the leaders of the two deadliest gangs in Superjail, but stepped down when they fell for each other. |
| 323 | %%* StraightGay: Jean. |
| 324 | * TattooedCrook: Jean. Paul also has a few himself, although much less compared to how his lover's covered in them. |
| 325 | * ThoseTwoGuys: Originally simply functioned as this, although they've been fleshed out a little more over time. |
| 326 | * TokenGoodTeammate: Paul is about as close as you can get in Superjail. He was the only one who tried to help Ash get over his fear of movies, and was the only inmate in Superjail history to be up for parole. |

| 332 | A soul-patched inmate with a New York accent. Seems to be a leader among the various inmates. |
| 333 | ---- |
| 334 | * AllMenArePerverts: Seen reading a lot of porn over the course of seasons 2 and 3. |
| 335 | * AllThereInTheScript: His name in seasons 2 and 3. |
| 336 | * AscendedExtra: Originally only appeared in "Superbar", but was upgraded to being a recurring inmate in seasons 2 and 3. |
| 337 | * TheBully: He tends to bully Ash for his childish behavior. |
| 338 | * ADayInTheLimelight: "Superbar", where he orchestrates a plan to break out of the jail using the sea gate. |
| 339 | * DeadpanSnarker: Takes this role in quite the few season 3 episodes, with him having some sort of one-liner about the situation. |
| 340 | * TheEveryman: In comparison to the rest of inmates, he's downright normal and tends to back away from the brutal violence most of them love doing. A wise choice, considering how the violence in this series escalates. |
| 341 | * FreudianExcuse: {{Implied}}. Prior to his imprisonment, his dog was run over by a car, which might be the reason or one of the resons for his {{Jerkass}} behavior and probably even imprisonment. |
| 342 | * GenreSavvy: By "The Superjail Inquisitor", he is aware of how unintentionally dangerous Ash is and refuses to let him join their schemes. [[PetTheDog He does eventually let him back in, though under heavy restriction]]. |
| 343 | * OnlySaneMan: Compared to some of the other inmates, he's one of the most level-headed characters in the show. |

| 352 | ---- |
| 353 | * AffablyEvil: He committed...something (possibly arson) to be put in Superjail but he seems to be a pretty chummy guy. |
| 354 | * AllThereInTheScript: This was the case with his name at first in season 1, with him being one of the rare named inmates but it never being spoken until the following season. |
| 355 | * ADayInTheLimelight |
| 356 | ** "Mr. Grumpy-Pants", where he, along with the rest of the inmates take care of a deathly ill girl. |
| 357 | ** "Burn Stoolie Burn"/"Superhell!" two-parter, where he forms an OddFriendship with the Warden and accidentally causes the gates of hell to open up inside the jail. |
| 358 | * FriendToAllChildren: He becomes instantly attached to Cancer. |
| 359 | * GivenNameReveal: Name is first shown in "Hot Chick" in the inmate files, and spoken aloud by Jean and Paul in "The Budding of the Warbuxx". |
| 360 | * ManChild: Of a far more innocent variety than The Warden. He loves ponies, playing with children, and is generally portrayed more vulnerably than anyone else in Superjail. |
| 361 | * MauveShirt: Becomes much more prominent in seasons 2 and 3. |
| 362 | * MeaningfulName: Ash, like black ash from fire. His surname is even later revealed to be "Firin". |
| 363 | * NoBrows: Due to the fact that his face is horribly burnt and deformed. |
| 364 | * PapaBear: When a fellow inmate wants to burn Cancer, he promptly shoves him into the fire. |
| 365 | * PlayingWithFire: Has the ability to control flames and even disappear in a flash of fire. |
| 366 | * TroubledBackstoryFlashback: Gets one in "The Budding of the Warbuxx", where we learn his movie fear and see how he wound up disfigured. There's another in "Burn Stoolie Burn" which reveals that he's inadvertantly caused death and destruction to others due to his fire powers being triggered by intense emotions (especially happiness). |
| 367 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Movies. He has a fear of them due to having been left in a burning theater as a child. |

| 382 | * CardCarryingVillain: It's his job, and he's proud of it. |
| 383 | * ExpressiveMask: His stingray-shaped helmet, which he never takes off. |
| 384 | * {{Expy}}: of [[Franchise/GIJoe Cobra Commander]], with [[WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers the Monarch's]] color scheme. |
| 385 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Genuinely loves his pet Fang. |
| 386 | * EvilCounterpart: Well.. more like an [[EvilerThanThou eviler counterpart]] To [[VillainProtagonist The Warden]]. They both have similar motivations of taking over the world at some point, they're both physcotic, and they both sport something yellow that covers their face. However the Warden has his moments of [[PetTheDog redeemability]] while the Stingray mainly thinks for himself. Though he does appear to have a more rational mindset than the Warden. |
| 387 | * TheLeader: If it's not Nicky acting in the role, he tends to pick up the part. |
| 388 | * MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: His mouth tends to appear this way, filled with a ton of pointed sharp teeth. Sometimes though, [[DependingOnTheArtist his teeth appear more standard]]. |
| 389 | * NonstandardCharacterDesign: He seems to still be wearing his supervillain uniform under his coverall. |
| 390 | * OverlyLongTongue: Sometimes depicted with this. As with his teeth, the exaggeration of this feature depends on the given animator or layout artist. |
| 391 | * VillainExitStageLeft: Manages to escape from [[KarmaHoudini punishment]] by fleeing the scene on his rusty ship in "Planet Radio". |

| 396 | ->'''Voiced by''': Stephen Warbrick |
| 397 | |
| 398 | A fat, lecherous inmate with a high voice. [[TheyKilledKennyAgain Gets killed a lot]]. |
| 399 | ---- |
| 400 | * AssholeVictim: Due to his... [[PaedoHunt unsavory reasons that likely lead to his incarceration]], his tendency to die a lot is well-deserved. |
| 401 | * TheChewToy: Is often subjected to mutilation and humiliation, usually as consequence for him being a pervert or pissing off the others for different reasons. |
| 402 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Shares a notable subplot in "Planet Radio" where he rallies the inmates to rescue Jailbot. |
| 403 | * EyeScream: In "Ladies' Night" and "Superstorm!". |
| 404 | * FatBastard: Of the pathetic and obnoxious type, though he's also shown to be quite greedy with food. |
| 405 | * FreudianExcuse: In "Superhell", when he thinks of his worst memory to return Superjail to normal, it is implied that he was molested by a clown when he was a child. |
| 406 | * {{Gonk}}: Though a lot of the inmates can sport a degree of this, the artists do all they can to emphasize how gross and unappealing this particular one is in the visual department as well. Obese, balding, hairy, and sporting a large nose that he can be often seen picking. |
| 407 | * GroinAttack: Whether he's killed or not, he also tends to suffer this. In his very first appearance, he hits on Gary, causing Bird to [[GoryDiscretionShot rip out his testicles offscreen]]. |
| 408 | ** Alice also gives his groin a good pounding in "Terrorarium", after quickly figuring out what he'd stuffed inside his "mystery box" at the science fair. |
| 409 | ** He gets slaughtered in "Mayhem Donor" via the Doctor's organ monster grabbing him by the genitals and pulling him through the shower drain. |
| 410 | ** Jailbot stabs him in the crotch at the end of "Planet Radio", proceeding to slit and tear his body apart before moving on to kill other inmates. |
| 411 | * ManChild: Of a very unsettling variety. |
| 412 | * PaedoHunt: It's revealed that he's a pedophile in "Superjail Grand Prix". |
| 413 | * TheyKilledKennyAgain: He dies in many episodes as a running gag but always comes back in the next one, or even ''within'' the episode: |
| 414 | ** Managed to die during "Combaticus" and was seen alive again a shot later in the crowd, and also in the same crowd stock footage that played ''during'' his death scene. |
| 415 | ** Was decapitated in "Terrorarium", but returned in a later scene to obsess over Gary's dirty underwear. |
| 416 | ** Was disemboweled and slit open in "Nightshift" when hungry inmates wanted to retrieve burgers from his guts. He later on winds up set on fire by Ash's breath during a banquent dinner, due to Ash being unable to handle the taste of the meal. |
| 417 | ** Gets attacked by various sea creatures in "The Superjail Inquisitor". He dies again when he is ripped in half while using the toilet. |

| 425 | ---- |
| 426 | * AllThereInTheScript: His script name was not known until a season 4 interview and Chris [=McCulloch=]'s own IMDB listing, in which he's simply referred to as "Turban". His name can also be seen as this [[http://radiospringy.tumblr.com/post/68967377273/here-are-some-superjail-storyboard-thumbnails in rough thumbnails]] for a season 3 storyboard. |
| 427 | * ADayInTheLimelight: In "The Last Pack", where he builds a secret smoking factory. |
| 428 | * GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: Shown with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth a lot. |
| 429 | * HumbleGoal: His divine purpose? Opening a falafel stand. |

| 441 | * AscendedExtra: Originally only appeared in "Superbar" in season 1, but made more appearances in the following seasons, still being targeted by Alice. |
| 442 | * ADayInTheLimeLight: In the episode "Jean and Paul and Beefy and Alice". |
| 443 | * ButtMonkey: To Alice, and how. |
| 444 | * DrivenToSuicide: Infamously gnawed off his own head in his first appearance, to escape the idea of having to do "body shots" on Alice. [[NegativeContinuity Unfortunately for him, he got better]]. |
| 445 | * KarmicRape: Alice's abuse of him might be intended to be this, since whatever it is he did, one probably doesn't get sent to the Superjail for shoplifitng. |
| 446 | * LosingYourHead: [[RunningGag Most of his deaths involve him being crushed or decapitated in some gruesome manner]]. |
| 447 | * TattooedCrook: Is covered in all sorts of tattoos, from his face to his body. |

| 456 | ---- |
| 457 | * ADayInTheLimeLight: "Nightshift", where The Warden puts him on death row and gives him his last meal. [[ThrowTheDogABone He doesn't die]], thankfully enough, [[YankTheDogsChain but he doesn't get to eat still]]. |
| 458 | * ButtMonkey: Alice torments him with a sandwich in his very first appearance and makes him dress in drag. He still doesn't get the sandwich. In "Nightshift", he's made the test subject of an electric chair and tries and fails to get a taste of various foods. |
| 459 | * ImAHumanitarian: Doesn't mind trying to eat the mystery meat, as it's all food to him. He's then implied to have dismembered and eaten a cellmate in a season 3 cameo [[note]]The implied nature of the gag owes to the Williams Street Standards and Practices department hating blatant on-screen cannibalism, which always means the crew has to find a loophole if they want to show it.[[/note]] |
| 460 | * NothingButSkinAndBones: Very literally in his case. |
| 461 | * ThrowTheDogABone: He does manage to get food at least once, during the Grand Prix race courtesy of Turban driving a falafel truck. |
| 462 | * VocalEvolution: His voice had less of a groan to it in his first appearance, and was a bit softer-pitched. |
| 463 | * YankTheDogsChain: In Series Finale, The Superjail Six there is a Flashback Skinny is revealed to be 66 Years old on his cake during his birthday however due The Events of the Superjail Six and the Staff wanting the Warden to forget about his Six Failures Alice takes the cake away while Skinny is blowing out the candle making him starve to death and he never got to it. |

| 468 | |
| 469 | A group of inmates that were disfigured through various accidents at the jail. They're first mentioned by Jean in "Sticky Discharge" and later appear in their own spotlight episode. |
| 470 | ---- |
| 471 | * ContinuityNod: One of them is actually an inmate from season 2's "Mayhem Donor", who had half his face ripped off (and then sewn on to Jared's). [[spoiler: The other half of his face is soon sliced off by Gary.]] |
| 472 | * NoNameGiven: A bunch of them are given their own pun-based names (based off their appearances), but the armless leader of the bunch never has his name spoken within the episode. It's [[AllThereInTheManual currently unknown if he has one]]. |
| 473 | * [[NonActionGuy Non-Action Guys]] They gave up their violent ways and attempted to be this, in order to not repeat the tragedies that befell them before. As to be expected, it didn't go so well when they got re-introduced to the other inmates. |
| 474 | * HandicappedBadass: They can fight really well in spite of their injuries, although they're still outmatched by Alice. |
| 475 | * TheLeader: The armless inmate. |
| 476 | * PunnyName: Among the group, there's "Guns" [[note]]an inmate with well-built arms, but shrunken legs and confined to a wheelchair[[/note]], "Bagpipe" [[note]]a man with several pipes lodged into his body[[/note]], and "Slim" [[note]]an inmate divided in half vertically and existing as only that half[[/note]]. |
| 477 | * RedShirt: Very much so, as with the other inmates. |
| 478 | * TheyKilledKennyAgain: Guns dies with the rest of the bunch in their debut episode, but is notably brought out for another fight sequence in the episode afterwards. |
| 479 | * YouDontLookLikeYou: In their cameo appearance in "Sticky Discharge", Guns and another inmate looked the same while Slim was depicted as a balding, middle-aged man with long gray hair. In his formal debut, his design was modified to be a younger, blond man. |

| 485 | |
| 486 | A ventriloquist's dummy that was used by the Warden for his magic act. However, the dummy soon seems to take a mind of his own [[spoiler: with a little bit of help from Gary and Bird. Was also formerly The Rat.]] |

| 488 | * AlliterativeName: Though usually just referred to as "Peedee", as well. |
| 489 | * TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:Him and Stingray escape Superjail by the final episode]]. |
| 490 | * DemonicDummy: [[spoiler: The show wants you to think he's this, [[{{Subversion}} before revealing that he's simply Bird's puppet]]. After The Rat loses Gary's vocal cords, though, Peedee plays this trope straight.]] |
| 491 | * EnemyMine: Despite squabbling and fighting with Stingray, the two frequently team up. |
| 492 | * {{Expy}}: His accent and origin as the Warden’s puppet who takes control are reminiscent of the villain Scarface from the Batman comics. |
| 493 | * NoIndoorVoice: Yells practically every line he speaks. |
| 494 | * OffscreenKarma: Sometime between "Planet Radio" and "Burn Stoolie Burn", he was incarcerated. |
| 495 | * OrganAutonomy: [[spoiler: Is brought back to life and powered by Gary's disembodied vocal cords, after they're separated from The Rat.]] |
| 496 | * {{Tuckerization}}: His name is based off one of the producers', Peedee Shindell. He's also visually modeled after him, down to the haircut. |
| 497 | * VerbalTic: Prone to calling people (Mostly Stingray) "Dumbass". |
| 498 | [[/folder]] |

| 502 | ---- |
| 503 | * AxCrazy: No kiddin'. |
| 504 | * DemotedToExtra: Since his main appearance in "Cold-Blooded", he would make a couple cameos throughout the show. |
| 505 | * GenuineHumanHide: Tore off Jacknife's skin and wore it as mask. Also, there's the fact that [[ExaggeratedTrope all of his furniture and items are made out of people he has killed]]. |
| 506 | * {{Expy}}: A combination of [[Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre Leatherface]] (A cannibal murder who wears a mask made of human skin) and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Gein Ed Gein]] (A graverobber who made furniture out of pilfered bodies, who also inspired Leatherface.) |

| 522 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/6jzusbaaaaaelftksuqmcc.png]] |
| 523 | ->'''Voiced by''': Richard Mather |
| 524 | |
| 525 | CreepyTwins whose sole purpose appears to be to cause as much havoc as possible inside the jail for their own amusement, sabotaging everything the Warden cooks up. [[note]]While some episodes and interviews treat them as a separate division entirely from the staff or inmates, Christy Karacas has also at times lumped them in with the inmates and had them described as such in the Playboy tie-in comic (which was produced before season 3). In the pre-production stages of the show, their inmate status was more definitive.[[/note]] |
| 526 | ---- |
| 527 | * AlienBlood: [[spoiler: They're shown to have bright green blood.]] |
| 528 | * AliensSpeakingEnglish: [[spoiler: Unlike their father and Hunter, we don't really ever hear them communicate in any language other than standard English.]] |
| 529 | * BigOlUnibrow: And it runs in their family. |
| 530 | * AscendedExtra: They had their brief moments in Season One, but soon had their own focus episodes. |
| 531 | * BizarreAlienBiology: [[spoiler: Their blood is a luminescent green, for one.]] |
| 532 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: They act more humanlike as the show goes on. |
| 533 | * CreepyMonotone: Their default manner of speaking. They rarely show much emotional range, except when they're incredibly angered or frightened. |
| 534 | * CreepyTwins: Although the exact range of said creepiness depends on the episode. |
| 535 | * TheDividual: There is literally ''nothing'' that makes them different from each other. |
| 536 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: They do care about each other. They get along well and hate the idea of being seperated even for a short period of time. |
| 537 | * FinishingEachOthersSentences: Mixed with a bit of TwinBanter. |
| 538 | * FreudianExcuse: They may act smart-assed to their father in "Hot Chick", but they're actually terrified of him and of their elder brothers, who they've been bullied by since birth. It seems rather than violently conquer others or live up to their father's high standards, they'd rather just live at the jail and "play around" with others (even if it results in inmates' incredibly violent deaths). |
| 539 | * HumanAliens: First time viewers may be shocked that the Twins are not human. Their family subvert this however. |
| 540 | * HumiliationConga: Although they usually come off on top in their schemes, lying to their elder brothers about conquering Earth and attempting to keep up the lie just put them through one form of humiliation after the other throughout "The Trouble with Triples". |
| 541 | * ItAmusedMe: Their motivation for stirring up trouble in Superjail. It's all just a game to them. |
| 542 | * KarmaHoudini: They usually to get away with their mayhem due to their alien abilities making them practically untouchable. |
| 543 | ** KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Then again.. the show makes it clear that they don't have PlotArmor. The Twins ''occasionally'' have bad things happen to them. |
| 544 | * LackOfEmpathy: They just don't really care about anyone else but themselves. When they do actually interact with someone else, it's only to further their own goals and they show no concern for the other person. |
| 545 | ** When they do actually show a brief interest in "friends" (ie: Jacknife's clones), they still are shown to only care about themselves and don't actually interact with the others, though they then act annoyed about their apparent friends not paying attention to ''them''. |
| 546 | ** It seems like they felt sorry for Jailbot when he was forced to guard a spa 24/7 all by himself -- [[SubvertedTrope but they use him to further their chaotic plans]]. |
| 547 | * {{Leitmotif}}: The two are represented by a techno beat when they appear. However, it is not used for every appearance, especially within episodes that have the two in an extended role (such as their focus episodes, in which the beat is only used in their initial scene [[note]]Although "Hot Chick" used it in both their first scene, as well as after they defeated Hunter[[/note]]). Some episodes also feature a different techno beat to introduce them, such as the skating sequence in "Combaticus". |
| 548 | * OutOfFocus: For a time in season 2, aside from their [[ADayInTheLimelight two focus episodes]]. They were also downplayed in the first half of season 3, but would have two other episodes centered around them. |
| 549 | * PacManFever: All the video games that they are shown playing have no better than 8-bit graphics. |
| 550 | * [[PowerCrystal Power Crystals]]: Used at points in season 3, especially in their costuming. |
| 551 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: A less cowardly and more [[{{Troll}} Troll-ish]] example. The Twins usually teleport away from any mayhem they have just caused, intentionally letting any poor bystander to suffer the consequences of it. |
| 552 | * SingleMindedTwins: It's very rare for them to act separately, or for one to differ in viewpoint and demeanor from his brother. The notable exception would be their budding situation. |
| 553 | * SpockSpeak: Mixed with the occasional SophisticatedAsHell. |
| 554 | * TeleportersAndTransporters: Teleportation is their most frequently used superpower. |
| 555 | * TricksterTwins: Their main purpose when they're in the jail. When they do rarely interact with others, they're not above using manipulation and tricks to try to get something out of it for themselves. |
| 556 | * [[TheUnfavourite The Unfavourites]]: They're seen as this in their fathers' eyes, when compared to their older brothers. [[spoiler: Still doesn't stop him from taking them home to become Supreme Overlords of his space empire, and didn't deter his previous attempt of trying to have Hunter bring them home.]] |
| 557 | * VocalEvolution: Their inflections sound a little less stilted after Season 1, as they become a more emotive. |
| 558 | * WonderTwinPowers: They do everything together and hate the idea of being separated. It's not wise to try to force them apart. |

| 561 | [[folder:The Vegetable Garden]] |
| 562 | ->'''Voiced by''': Stephen Warbrick |
| 563 | |
| 564 | Superjail's vegetable garden is full of sentient veggies just wanting to be loved and eaten. But they're prone to jealousy and paranoia, as well as dying all too easily. |
| 565 | ---- |
| 566 | * ADayInTheLimeLight: "Nightshift" shares this with the Lunch Ladies. |
| 567 | * AnthropomorphicFood: Comprised of talking carrots, tomatoes, and so on. They're usually hanging around the garden, but have attempted to leave it (only to fail). |
| 568 | * AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: They become giant monsters in "Nightshift" and have to be fought off by the combined forces of the inmates and the lunch ladies. |
| 569 | * IJustWantToBeLoved: More like: "I Just Want To Be Eaten", but still acts the same. They're frequently under the belief that no one wants to eat them and will go through desperate measures to do so. |
| 570 | * LetsMeetTheMeat: Or "Let's Meet The Talking Vegetables" in this case. They're aware they exist to be planted and eaten, and get distressed in the pilot when they hear that they won't go to use (and simply get mowed over by Jailbot). |
| 571 | * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: The entire last two minutes of "Nightshift" has them growing in size and causing chaos all around Superjail, killing thousands of inmates. [[DisproportionateRetribution All because no one wanted to eat them]]. |
| 572 | * SirSwearsALot: They have the biggest potty mouths in the show. |
| 573 | * TheyKilledKennyAgain: With being just a bunch of vegetables, they're not even spared from the carnage. They wind up mowed down in their first appearance, get killed by giant weed monsters in their second, and are subject to more death and mutilation in subsequent roles. |

| 581 | * AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: [[spoiler:Lives on in the form of a constellation above the jail, and seems to like smiting flocks of birds.]] |
| 582 | * BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Temporarily, due to a paradox created in "Time Police part 2". After the timeline is reset, however, his proper fate is sealed.]] |
| 583 | * BarbieDollAnatomy: Prefers fighting completely naked, but notably doesn't have any genitalia or nipples (although Karacas' own depiction on the season 1 poster artwork did have the latter feature). |
| 584 | * CharlesAtlasSuperpower: His genetic enhancements as a clone give him a vast amount of strength and speed, to where it takes little effort for him to tear an inmate apart. The only being that posed a challenge would seem to be Specimen 7 (due to its healing factor). |
| 585 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: He helps save the trapped and injured Twins (who manage to teleport away), but winds up instantly crushed to death himself by falling debris.]] |
| 586 | ** [[spoiler: Technically sacrifices himself AGAIN when he destroys the Time Brain, seemingly resetting the timeline to the events before the "Time Police" plot (and so he goes back to his proper fate).]] |
| 587 | * MonochromaticEyes: He appears to have solid white eyes, but is clearly able to see through them. However, Christy Karacas' artwork for the season 1 poster and DVD depicts the eyes as a solid blue. |
| 588 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: As his first unlucky victim notes, he's a "Pipsqueak". Said yutz winds up dead a few seconds later. |
| 589 | * SpareBodyParts: Specifically crafted and born with four hearts to increase his speed and metabolism. He also has a ''twelve pack'' abdomen, and fourteen fingers and toes. |
| 590 | * TeleportersAndTransporters: Is first briefly shown to have a teleportation power like the Twins, but prefers fighting physically. |
| 591 | * UltimateLifeForm: Seemingly so. Unfortunately for him, he's not entirely invulnerable and the MadeOfPlasticine rule still applies to him. |
| 592 | * TheVoiceless: Never utters a word when he's alive, except for grunting a little when he saves the Twins. However, [[spoiler: his constellation self does give the final spoken line of the episode.]] |
| 593 | * YoungerThanTheyLook: Owing to him being a clone, he was technically a newborn but appeared to be a teenager and slightly younger than his genetic donors. |
