A listing of characters in the Image Comics series Deadly Class and its television adaptation.
Students and staff of Kings Dominion
Marcus Lopez Arguello
A young immigrant from Nicaragua who was orphaned when a suicidal bridge-jumper crashed on top of his parents. Homeless, starving, and the subject of a police manhunt, he is finally brought to Kings Dominion... an environment even more dangerous than the streets he left behind.
- Death Faked for You: Saya sets things up to look like she executed him. In reality, she helped him escape Kings Dominion.
- Faking the Dead: Marcus ends up faking his death to live a peaceful life.
- Good Scars, Evil Scars: Has a huge scar over his eye, but managed not to lose said eye.
- Half-Breed Discrimination: He has a Nicaraguan father and a white American mother, which means he gets slammed by both the white supremacists in the Dixie Mob and the cartel kids in Soto Vato.
Saya Kuroki
The daughter of a Yakuza boss, Saya was kept out of her family's activities by her father's insistence on her leading a normal life. Following some family drama she ran away to Kings Dominion, where she took up a position as the leader of the local Kuroki Syndicate kids.
- Action Girl: She is ruthless and deadly with her sword, easily able to kill legions of police, Yakuza thugs, and her fellow classmates.
- Action Girlfriend: She saves the life of Marcus, whom she intermittently sleeps with, on numerous occasions.
- Badass Biker: Saya is seen riding a motorcycle on numerous occasions.
- Fingore: She chopped off two fingers in an attempt to save her father from the other Yakuza.

- Intimate Marks: Her Yakuza tattoos cover her torso, including the tops of her breasts, as seen while she's in her underwear.
- Mafia Princess: Saya Kuroki is the daughter of a Yakuza boss and is the heiress of Kuroki Syndicate (or Kuroki-gumi), the largest and most powerful Yakuza syndicate in Japan. She's a mix of this and Action Girl.
- Sleeves Are for Wimps: Her dress shirt has the sleeves cut off, exposing her tattoos.
- Tattooed Crook: Saya has the Yakuza tattoos of her family across her body. In the future, she plans to join in full, though so far she's not a member.
- Yakuza: She's the daughter of a Yakuza boss and wants to join up full-time when she gets older. Couple that with the fact that she has her entire body tattooed and the fact that she chopped off two of her fingers to try to save her own father.
Maria Esperanza Salazar
As a young girl, Maria was abducted by the cartel boss El Alma Del Diablo and given to his son Chico Salazar. Now in Kings Dominion she serves Chico as both a member of his Soto Vatos gang and his girlfriend. When Marcus arrives, Maria moves to get him on her side so she can get her revenge on the cartel members that ruined her life.
- Action Girl: She fights using her bladed fan quite skillfully.
- Action Girlfriend: She begins dating Marcus early on and saves his life on several occasions.
- Berserk Button: Saya calling her crazy enrages Maria and she attacks at once.
- Dance Battler: A lot of her moves, particularly those involving her metal fan, involve dancing.
- Mood-Swinger: She's bipolar, so when off her meds she varies between affection, gloom and rage dangerously.
- Ms. Fanservice: She's quite sexy, and seen in her underwear twice. Her sex scene with Marcus in the cemetery also shows her nude, although nothing explicit.
- Rank Up: After she returns from exile, she becomes the leader of the Soto Vatos gang at Kings.
- Spicy Latina: She's a Mexican girl who is quite sexy and has a fiery temper. Her black hair, olive skin and penchant for wearing red are pretty classic as well.
William "Billy" Bennett
A spiky-haired kid with an exuberant attitude, Billy is one of the only people who doesn't seem to let the gloom of Kings Dominion get to him. Like Marcus, he's not a legacy and hangs out with the other loners at Kings Dominion. He enlists Marcus and a few other friends to help him kill his abusive father.
Willie Lewis
Leader of the Final World Order gang at Kings Dominion. Willie talks tough, but few people know that his reputation is a lie and he's far more squeamish about killing than he'd like to admit.
- Actual Pacifist: Before going to Kings Dominion, he never deliberately killed anyone.
- Dark Secret: His reputation says that, when he was just a small child, he shot and killed five adult gangsters in retaliation for them killing his father. When the gangsters broke into his house he began shooting wildly and accidentally killed his own father, after which his uncle killed the gangsters and set things up so Willie could take the credit.
- Foil: To Saya. He's a pacifist who was forced into Kings Dominion by his mother, while she's an Action Girl who came there against her father's wishes.
- Miles Gloriosus: He talks a lot about how tough he is. However, in actual fights—or even just executions—he tends to freeze up.
Brandy Lynn
Leader of the Dixie Mob, a gang of Nazis, neo-Confederates, and white supremacists.
- Bubblegum Popping: She does this a lot.
- Made of Iron: Even after being shanked in the gut, she's still able to fight well enough to kill several Yakuza and Petra, as well as cut off Tosahwi's fingers.
- Politically Incorrect Villain: And how. She's openly racist towards various groups, including Hispanics, black people, Asians, and Irish people. And, as of issue 39, gay people.

Gabe
A member of Final World Order who is disappointed to hear that the reputation of its boss, Willie Lewis, is overblown.

Maria's new roommate after her return.
