Society of Virtue
Big Bang
The leader of the Society Of Virtue.- Enlightenment Superpower: Big Bang's origin reveals that he gained his powers after using math to figure out the secrets of the universe.
- Invincible Hero: He really doesn't want to come across as this to others and so tries to downplay the fact he's basically a god. In "Faking Big", Big Bang poorly pretends to be injured in battle because he's afraid to lose his friends if they see him this way.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: He looks like an even fatter version of Steven Seagal.
- Superman Substitute: He's a parody of Superman, particularly on the fact that Superman makes every other hero redundant.
Majestic
The second strongest hero on Earth.- Boyish Short Hair: Has very short hair with jagged cuts, and is, arguably, the most masculine member of her team.
- Create Your Own Villain: Parodied in "Majestic", turns out there are a lot of Too Kinky to Torture fanboys, and at least one fangirl, out there willing to be beaten up by a Stripperiffic superheroine.
- Deadpan Snarker: It's practically another superpower of hers.
- Even the Girls Want Her: One of the new villains wanting to be beaten up by her is a woman with the apt moniker "Majestic's #1 Fan".
- Flying Brick: Can fly and has Super-Strength.
- Leg Focus: Her first costume exposes her toned legs. Her second costume covers them up, but are so tight that you can still admire them.
- Ms. Fanservice: Her Stripperiffic outfit makes her this. She's not really ashamed of it, though.
- The Smurfette Principle: The sole female member of the Society of Virtue.
- Straw Feminist: Majestic constantly finds offense in her male teammates' words and deeds. To be fair, she is the only woman on the team and they are clueless enough that they think having a white Jamaican guy makes them "diverse".
- Stripperiffic: Majestic's costume looks like the unholy lovechild of Bomb Queen's leotard and the Senketsu, and barely covers her naughty bits. Her male teammates all desperately want her to adopt a more modest costume. She stubbornly refuses for some time, but eventually shifts to something comparatively more modest - tight black pants and a very short top.
- Wonder Woman Wannabe: She's the resident Wonder Woman parody, particularly on her status as fanservice.
Black Badness
The second in command of the Society of Virtue.- Badass Normal: He has no superpowers and relies on his intellect, various vehicles, and anything he has on hand.
- Batman Parody: He's a parody of Batman's tendency towards technical pacifism.
- Civvie Spandex: He looks more or less like a trucker in a domino mask.
- Hidden Depths: "Black" shows that Black Badness has a lot more to him than both the friendly superhero he appears when he is with the rest of the Society and the violent vigilante he is when patrolling the streets alone.
- Mask of Sanity: While he's with the Society, Black Badness appears to be the Only Sane Man, sometimes even more so than Big Bang. When he's by himself, he reveals himself to be an insanely violent (if effective and non-lethal) and nigh-sadistic crimefighter. Averted when he is undercover, like in "Black".
- Multiple Identity IDs: "Black" reveals that he has numerous identities.
- Thou Shalt Not Kill: Black Badness viciously parodies Batman's 'no killing' code by being extremely literal with the definition. As shown in the self-titled episode "The Black Badness", he will cripple you for life, put you in a coma, or turn your non-essential body parts into applesauce by hitting you with his car. Even if you surrender without a fight the easiest he'll go on you is only using 'one' bowling ball to beat you with.
- The Un-Favourite: Apparently, Black Badness' action figures aren't selling well.
Flaring Roach
A member of the Society of Virtue that doesn't actually do much hero work.- Hero with an F in Good: His stunt double is a more driven hero than he is.
- The Slacker: Flaring Roach is seen as a deadbeat by most of the society due always being in the middle of something when they call him for help. In one episode he even went so far as to hire a Body Double to a meeting.
- Skewed Priorities: His problem isn't that he's always in the middle of something when he receives a summon to help. The problem is that he always puts whatever he's doing ahead of being a hero. Including that time he wouldn't come to save the world because he was at the movies.
Volt
The second fastest man on Earth.- Butt-Monkey: Volt was manhandled (and in one case implied to have been raped) by a giant tentacle monster twice, and punched for cultural appropriation because he's a white guy with dreadlocks, even though he is Jamaican and his hair is normally like that.
- Never My Fault: When he hears about Big Bang's power to reverse time, he blames him for not reversing time to stop Volt from doing multiple stupid things.
- Super-Speed: His superpower.
Juan Marine
An aquatic half-fish superhero.- Captain Fishman: The character is a parody of both Namor from Marvel and Aquaman from DC, though he leans more on the latter's side and fans' criticism of his "uselessness".
- Fish People: He has orange scales instead of skin.
- Interspecies Romance: He was once in a relationship with whale. He justifies this by the fact that he's half fish, so it isn't bestiality.
- Weaksauce Weakness: Juan Marine is allergic to shrimp. Which becomes a problem when one of your enemies is a humanoid shrimp monster.
The Archer
A superhero who doesn't have powers and fights crime with a bow and arrow.- The Straight and Arrow Path: Subverted. He's a legitimately good archer, but the show doesn't gloss over the difficulties that come with using an archaic weapon in modern day combat.
The R-Men
Robert
The Professor X expy that leads the R-men- Depraved Bisexual: He really likes having fit, young men living in his house. Makes loopholes in his own rules about dress codes so a wolverine clone can walk about shirtless, and what's in his head gives his enemies nightmares.
- A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Read: It's not mental shields that keep other psychics out of his head.
- Telepathy: Part of being a Xavier expy.
Jonathan and Samantha
Jonathan/Flaring Roach II
Flaring Roach's Body Double who decided to become a hero in his own right.- Superior Successor: Is a better hero than the previous Flaring Roach (though that isn't exactly hard).
Samantha
A prostitute who teams up with Jonathan in hero work.- Hooker with a Heart of Gold: When not earning her living, she is off (trying to) fight crime with Jonathan.
- Lady in Red: She is almost always seen in a red dress.
Patriot Lieutenant and Toby
Patriot Lieutenant
The face of our boys overseas during WWII- Captain Patriotic: He is a pastiche of the flag-waving/wearing superheroes of World War II, specially Captain America. Heck, it's even in his name: Patriot Lieutenant.
- Military Superhero: Being a pastiche of Captain America, he holds the position of "Lieutenant", and his shorts are set during World War II.
- Sanity Slippage: He was sent into the worst warzones of the war to end all wars and told to behave like a boy scout. It had a rather obvious effect on his sanity.
- Slave to PR: He was meant to be an image to rally around than an actual soldier. He was meant to be the ideal image of a soldier but wasn't actually allowed to kill anybody in order to maintain a squeaky clean image of an all-American guy. Him being given a 'sidekick' was as much about giving him someone who could do all the things that would be bad for his image as it was for the press.
Toby
Patriot Lieutenant's twelve-year-old sidekick that's forced to all the actual soldier and hero work to maintain his hero's image.- Butt-Monkey: He does all the horrible, painful and humiliating work and gets none of the credit for it.
- Child Soldiers: Was brought over to the front to do all the work his hero couldn't in order to maintain his PR friendly image,
- Kid Sidekick: Toby is a parody of Bucky, Captain America's teenaged sidekick from World War II.
Standalone Heroes
Tarantula-Man
Resident friendly neighborhood wall-crawler. He's not actually that friendly when you think about it.- Alliterative Name: His full name is James John Johnson.
- Butterface: With his mask he physically looks like a typical superhero. Without it...
- Gonk: He is so, so very ugly, and no it's not the result of his mutation.
- Hated by All: Each of his villains are people that he has in some way wronged both in costume and in his civilian life, to the point that the one person that he hasn't wronged feels that he needs to become a villain as well, as something must be seriously wrong with the guy if so many people he knows on a personal level want him dead.
- Spider-Man Send-Up: Let's see… a spider-themed superhero who has a history with saving a specific redheaded woman (implying that she actively throws herself into danger in order to get his attention). Yeah, no relation at all.
- Ugly Hero, Good-Looking Villain: Yes. Even with all the guys in goblin masks.
Purple Fannypack
A hero that can create whatever he imagines....not always a good thing.- Imagination-Based Superpower: Like his mainstream counterpart he can create light constructs of whatever he imagines...or rather whatever he's thinking strongest of right now. Which when a gorgeous and scantily clad heroine is rubbing your shoulders telling you to relax, it makes it hard not to think of something inappropriate.
