13
14	[[folder: Captain Robert Everton]]
15	--> Played by Creator/DonaldSutherland
16	* TheCynic: He definitely comes across this way. He has a photo of himself as a younger man (who was full of hope and ambition) in his office, and he tells his younger self he's sorry for letting him down when his cargo sank. This may partially be the reason for his SanitySlippage.
17	* DrivenToSuicide: He contemplates suicide just before finding the Russian ship.
18	* PopCulturalOsmosisFailure: At one point, he calls whoever's responsible for the cyborgs "Doctor Igor fuckin' Frankenstein." The MadScientist's first name was Victor; [[TheIgor Igor was his creepy lab assistant]].
19	* TheQuisling: Betrays the crew to the Virus because he wants salvage rights to the ship.

21
22	[[folder: Nadia Vinogradova]]
23	--> Played by Creator/JoannaPacula
24	* ActionGirl: She definitely has her moments. There's also the fact that she had survived for a whole week in the ship fighting against the machines.
25	[[/folder]]
26
27	[[folder: Richie Mason]]
28	* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: In the original comic, his head is used as part of a booby trap. In the movie, he's impaled on a peice of scrap metal when the Goliath robot rips part of the ceiling down on top of him.
29	* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: Terrified by the Virus' intentions, he shoots his way out of the communications room (he used a GrenadeLauncher) and begins setting up a rocket sled to escape with. And a high-explosive parting gift as well. He's perfectly content to let his colleagues die as long as he escapes alive.
30	* TokenMinority: The only black guy on the crew.
31	[[/folder]]
32
33	[[folder: Hiko]]
34	--> Played by Creator/CliffCurtis
35	* FlawlessToken: A brave Maōri man, cool, calm (except for a flash of anger when he threatens Richie to make him stop messing with one of the cyberzombies), and has a noble goal of using his share of three million dollars to set up a school in New Zealand.
36	* HeroicSacrifice: Dies from being washed overboard while rescuing Foster.
37	[[/folder]]
38
39	[[folder: The Virus]]
40	An energy creature utterly horrified by humanity, seeing them as a [[TitleDrop virus]]. [[{{Irony}} Ironically]], the entity behaves like a computer virus.
41	* ArtificialZombie: Its cyborg minions are reminiscent of [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Combat Servitors]] or [[VideoGame/QuakeII Strogg mooks]].
42	* BodyHorror: It's cyborg minions are roughly half of a person welded, bolted, or nailed to various mechanical parts. It's implied that they're [[AndIMustScream still alive and aware]].
43	* CannibalLarder:
44	** Machine Shop 14 is where it combines man and machine.
45	** It uses the fuel tanks of the ship as a crude method of preserving the dead bodies it hasn't gotten around to assimilating yet.
46	* ComputerVirus: Behaves like one, and in the comic book, it was literally an alien cyber-attack virus. It forcibly "downloads" itself onto the ship's mainframe, and its driving motivation is to upload itself to the internet so it can infect every computer in the world.
47	* EnergyBeings: It's a life-form based on electrical rather than biochemical energy.
48	* EvilSmellsBad: Its cyborgs are said to "smell like dog shit."
49	* FleshGolem: It's biggest construct is a hulking quadrupedal robot with a roughly equal integration of flesh and metal.
50	* FromACertainPointOfView: It considers mankind a "virus" in the sense of "A particular pathogen," according to the dictionary program it assimilated.
51	* HumanResources: When asked "What do you want from us?" it responds with a list of various body parts. We get to see how it utilizes those parts later.
52	* ItWontTurnOff: Capable of invoking this. Richie hits the power breaker on one of its factories, and it responds by shorting it out to make the machine shop come back online.
53	* NoNameGiven: Nadia calls it "it" or "something;" it referrs to itself as "the whole." The novelization calls it "The Intellegence." We call it "the virus" since it behaves like a computer virus
54	* UnnecessarilyCreepyRobot: All of its constructs incorporate human tissue when possible. Its "gatherers" are reminiscent of spiders or moths (with non-functional wings made of skin stretched over wire), the basic combat drones are Artificial Zombies, and the more advanced combat forms are Flesh Golems.
55	* UnwillingRoboticization: Its plan for humanity.
