Q-Force

     Agent Mary 

Steve "Mary" Maryweather

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/qf_mary.PNG
Voiced by: Sean Hayes
The leader of Q-Force. An extremely capable spy whose career tanked when he came out as gay during his graduation speech from the AIA Academy.
  • The Ace: He's an expert in weaponry, hand-to-hand combat, horse riding, is almost fluent in several languages, is extremely perceptive and was set to be valedictorian before coming out.
  • Always Someone Better: In "Backache Mountain" he struggles with successfully seducing a target, due to lacking experience with that sort of thing in a professional environment and has to ask Buck, who holds the record for most spy sex in missions.
  • Dude, Where's My Respect?: He's extremely frustrated about the bad treatment Q-Force is getting, despite being pretty much the best at what they do.
  • Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: He's a blonde and a caring leader and friend.
  • Innocently Insensitive: Mary can be kind of oblivious to other people's feelings and can even get downright dismissive of them at times.
  • It's All About Me: He tends to get a bit egocentric at times, which can make him blind to what the rest of his team is feeling and he has a real problem admitting when a situation is too much for him.
  • Lantern Jaw of Justice: Appropriately for The Hero, Mary has a strong jaw and sharp facial features.
  • The Leader: Of Q-Force, having recruited nearly all other members and held them together for ten years, even without a case.
  • Straight Gay: Mary displays little to no stereotypes despite being gay himself, he does go by his nickname "Mary" a lot even though that can be interpreted differently because Mary is part of his last name.

     Deb 

Deb

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/qf_deb.PNG
Voiced by: Wanda Sykes
The team's resident mechanic and inventor.
  • Berserk Button: Hurting Pam in any way is a great way to get your face rearranged by Deb.
  • Butch Lesbian: She's muscular, stocky in build, has short hair, a very deep voice and is happily married to another woman.
  • Gadgeteer Genius: Whereas hacking and software are Stat's area, Deb handles all electrical and mechanical engineering problems. She even turns a Subaru Outback into a Flying Car with extra spy features like Hollywood Magnetism.
  • Happily Married: Is in a loving relationship with her wife Pam.
  • Sassy Black Woman: Downplayed. She's a lot more calm and down to earth than most other examples, but she does have a pretty sharp tongue when the situation calls for it.
  • Team Mom: Has a good head on her shoulders and always makes sure the rest of the team keep theirs on straight. Twink even describes her as having "mom-energy".

     Twink 

Bastien "Twink"

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/qf_twink.PNG
Voiced by: Matt Rogers
A former circus artist, now working as a master of disguise for the Q-Force.
  • Abusive Parents: His father was never satisfied with his performance and regularly insulted and demeaned him for it, even telling him he wasn't even good enough to be a clown in a regular circus.
  • Accent Relapse: Starts speaking with a Quebecois French accent whenever he's reminded of his father
  • Camp Gay: He is very effeminate and likes crossdressing and hairdressing along with being attracted to men. He is the only member of the Q-Force to display such stereotypes.
  • Costumes Change Your Size: At one point he even disguises himself as Mary, who is both taller and way more muscular than him, perfectly.
  • Drag Queen: He does drag both casually and professionally. And he's pretty good at what he does.
  • Master of Disguise: When he's undercover it would take nothing short of a miracle to see through his disguises. He's incredibly convincing in every role he plays.
  • The Twink: To the point it's his nickname.
  • Voice Changeling: Can imitate just about anyone perfectly.

     Stat 

Stat

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/qf_stat.PNG
Voiced by: Patti Harrison
The team's hacker and computer expert.
  • Ambiguously Gay: Her exact sexuality isn't stated and she never shows any interest in a romantic relationship prior to meeting Jaqueline. But when Jaqueline starts speaking to her she uses a female voice and later on in "WeHo Confidential" she presents herself as a female demon and Stat seems very turned on.
  • Conspiracy Theorist: She has a lot of weird theories that only makes sense to her, and thinks everyone is too stupid to not believe them to be true.
  • Hackette: A young woman capable of developing an algorithm more advanced than Google. And only slightly less evil.
  • Hollywood Satanism: Her profile in Jaqueline's databank lists her as a satanist, but apart from using a few pagan terms and liking a tv-show in which Satan plays a major role she doesn't seem to practice her faith at all.
    • Possibly a more realistic depiction of real-world LaVeyan Satanism, which is more of an atheistic belief system which tends to appeal to misfits, goths, and people who think demons are sexy. So, in other words, Stat is actually a perfectly average realistic Satanist.
  • Misfit Lab Rat: She's the team's hacker, and also a goth.
  • Nightmare Fetishist: Downplayed, but during "Backache Mountain" she films a hideous growth on an old man's ear and calls it "cool" when reviewing the footage later. She's also a big fan of a foreign soap opera that features heavy satanic themes and excitedly asks if there is any chance of demonic possession when Mary comes to her with a case.
  • Robosexual: She gets into a relationship with a stolen drone called Jaqueline.

     Buck 

Rick Buck

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/qf_buck.PNG
Voiced by: David Harbour
Q-Force's token straight guy, sent by director Chunley to keep an eye on them.
  • Ambiguously Bi: He is obviously attracted to women but at one point he attempted to seduce a gay miner by taking a bath in radioactive runoff. Because of this it is hinted that he is homophobic because he is struggling to come to terms with being bisexual and is actually closeted.
  • The Bully: He's callous, mean and bigoted to just about everyone in the team, especially Mary whose position as valedictorian was given over to Buck upon Mary coming out, a fact Buck never gets tried of gleefully rubbing in his face.
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: With the way he acts, it's no surprise that the rest of Q-Force tolerate him at best and absolutely despise him at worst.
  • Heteronormative Crusader: He's very aggressive about his views on what "real" male spies should be like and expresses nothing but disgust and discomfort at the rest of Q-Force being out and proud about their identities and interests.
  • Jerkass: A homophobic, stand-offish prick with zero respect for his colleagues. He's as far from a Nice Guy as one can get.
  • Jerkass to One: He's always especially vile to Mary, starting with when he gave him his nickname. Surprisingly enough, in "Backache Mountain" he reveals that his animosity towards Mary isn't because Mary is gay, but because he thinks Mary is acting way too arrogant for a spy with no field experience to speak of.
  • Never My Fault: When called out for his general dickishness, his usual response is to accuse the hurt party of being too sensitive. When he bullies Twink into a mental breakdown in "Deb's BBQ", he refuses to take responsibility for it or apologize and instead says that Twink should grow thicker skin.
  • Too Dumb to Live: In "Backache Mountain" he tries to seduce a gay uranium miner by sexily bathing in radioactive runoff.
  • Troll: In the first episode, he briefly stand behind Chunley while talking to V about reinstating Q-Force, just to give them the finger.

The American Intelligence Agency

     Deputy Director V 

Deputy Director V

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/qf_v.PNG
Voiced by: Laurie Metcalf
The deputy director of the AIA and the highest-ranking woman in the agency. She has a soft spot for Mary and acts as Q-Force greatest supporter and ally with the higher-ups.
  • Ambiguously Gay: When she tells Mary that "people like us" have to work twice as hard to succeed in the heterosexual male dominated AIA, it is slightly ambiguous if she is comparing her struggles with sexism to Mary's with homophobia or if she is implying she is gay too. With how sympathetic she is towards Q-Force, it's not impossible that she might be gay or bi as well.
    • Her relationship with her ex-(spy)partner Caryn is very close and could be considered pretty romantic. On the other, V sounds reasonably convincing when she says, even after regaining her memory, that she's totally not gay and just has "big arms".
  • Benevolent Boss: She does her best to get Q-Force the resources and free roam they need and even puts her job on the line for them in "Rogue". In return, the Q-Force (aside from Buck) have nothing but respect for her. Especially Mary, who views her as a mentor and seems to be in physical pain whenever she's disappointed in him.
  • Disappointed in You: Her reaction in "Deb's BBQ" upon finding out that Mary and Stat have been trying to hack the thumbdrive against her orders and almost unleashed a virus on the AIA's database while doing so.
  • Expy: Of M from the James Bond franchise, both being aloof spymasters only known by a single letter codename.
  • Hidden Depths: "Deb's BBQ" reveals she has a surprisingly vast knowledge of cars, allowing her to solve the final trick-question in the thumbdrive's security so Stat can hack it.
  • Laser-Guided Amnesia: In "WeHo Confidential" it's revealed that the AIA mind-wiped her to forget all about her former partner Caryn.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: When she found out in "The Secretaries' Ball" that she shot her former partner Caryn. And from the security tape, it looked like V had no choice. Though it turns out she and Caryn faked it.
  • One-Letter Name: Presumably a codename.
  • She Knows Too Much Chunley found out she knows about Greyscale and had her memory erased.

     Director Chunley 

Director Dirk Chunley

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/qf_chunley.PNG
Voiced by: Gary Cole
The homophobic straight, conservative director of the AIA.
  • Asshole Victim: Mary's justification for mind controlling him for a few moments to get more funding and to give his overworked secretary a raise. It did seem like he was about to say something insulting right before they put the hat on him.
  • Bad Boss: His mistreatment of Q-Force and V aside, he is a horrible villanous man to work for directly. His secretary, Louisa Desk, sleeps in the office, only gets two days off a decade (plus is apparently restricted to naval bases when she does), and normally only leaves the office once a year for half a hour during the secretary party, which she leaves half way through, even though Chunley has his party he attends and doesn't return until later. Even V, who hates her assistant, treats her better than that.
  • Heteronormative Crusader / Politically Incorrect Hero: He's both a abusive director and a LGBT-phobic asshole. One of his very first scenes has him strip Mary of the valedictorian title after the latter proudly reveals he's gay and gives it to Buck instead. He also constantly throws homophobic slurs at the Q-Force and sends Buck to "keep an eye on them" when they against all odds manage to get a case after all.

Others

     Benji 
Voiced by: Gabe Liedman
Agent Mary's love interest.

     Princess Mira 

Princess Mira Popadopalous of Gyenorvya

Princess of the European Micro Monarchy of Gyenorvya, and an old friend of V.
  • Expy: Of Mia Thermopolis from The Princess Diaries.
  • Fag Hag: She "fucking loves gays"
  • God Save Us from the Queen!: Her ultimate plan is to become Queen of Gyenorvya, create a brainwashed army using Project Grayscale technology, and declare war on the rest of the world using the stolen weapons from EuropeVision and data from the AIA mainframe.
  • Princesses Rule: She is apparently the reigning monarch as there is no mention of any other rulers of Gyenorvya. However, she must marry a man in order to rule as Queen with the full authority to declare war using the stolen weapons and nuclear codes.
