Super Hero Girls

General

Suddenly, magically, pretty automatically, crushing it side by side!

• Action Girl: Given the franchise, the girls can kick butt in their own, unique ways.
• Age Lift: Much like in the original series, the major heroes are all teenagers in high school rather than young adults/adults like in other source material—though in Zatanna's case, this is Truer to the Text as pre-Batman: The Animated Series, she was indeed a teenager starting out when a lot of the JLA were adults years into their careers. This is also one of the older versions of Wonder Woman chronologically but in this show she amazons develop slower than Greenland sharks so "Wonder Woman" still has a teenage body.
• Blame Game: When Wonder Woman blames the team's first loss on Supergirl's failure to follow instructions, Supergirl retorts that Wonder Woman should be blaming Green Lantern for not putting up enough of a fight. Green Lantern in turn blames Zatanna for wasting time showboating and being reckless enough to hit both Wonder Woman and Supergirl with her spells. Zatanna blames Bumblebee for giving up and hiding.
• Endearingly Dorky: Each one of them is this in their own way.
  • Diana is very prone to displaying this type of behavior, typically when she's discovering "World of Man" customs.
  • Babs fills this trope as a spunky, energetic fangirl of pretty much anything heroic with Batman being her main fixation.
  • Kara is tough as nails, but can't help but gush over cute animals. It's actually quite endearing.
  • Jess is normally this in other media due to being more introverted and insecure of herself. She's still this here thanks to her girl scout-like idealism and willingness to see the best in others.
  • Karen's a scientific genius who's rather low on confidence, making her cute as a button.
  • Zee isn't this so much in the present day, but as a child, she was such a cutie thanks to her love of her father, and trying to hide her insecurities.
• Fantasy Character Classes
  • Mostly by accident when Zee Zatara is kidnapped during #TheFreshPrincessOfRenFaire. Barbara Gordon, Jessica Cruz and Karen Beecher don't bother to change out of their Renaissance Fair costumes while Zee never gets the chance to. Supergirl didn't bother to dress up but ends up knocked into a suit of armor and decides to roll with it. Diana just showed up in fairly modest Hellenistic wear before changing into her champion(Wonder Woman) suit and then being given a suit of armor.
  • Barbara went as a bard, Jessica Cruz as an elven ranger, Karen Beecher goes as a fairy but is functionally The Engineer, Supergirl visually becomes a barbarian with her armor and mace, Zee is a Status buffing Witch Classic, Wonder Woman becomes a cavalier after jumping on a horse which is then enhanced by Zee, who also modifies Diana's weapon into a Jousting Lance and grants her a suit of plate mail.
• Six Temperament ensemble:
  • Diana (Melancholic): the disciplined, but honorable leader.
  • Barbra (sanguine): the spunky Genki Girl.
  • Kara (Choleric): brash and hotheaded, but emotional.
  • Karen (Phlegmatic): shy but smart and reliable.
  • Jess/Zee (eclectic; Jess is either sanguine or phlegmatic due to her easygoing, yet stubborn attitude, but openness to new friends. As for Zee, she is either melancholic or choleric due to her flamboyant, egotistical, but loyal, and charismatic traits.
• Lighter and Softer: Not that there isn't some comedy in the source material, but the comic books they originate from, Teen Titans for Bumblebee in particular, are often heavy handed when throwing the worst of life's problems at their protagonists and the characters tend to be grimmer in response to it. This also one of the softest takes on a Green Lantern Corps member despite featuring one noted for usually being put through the wringer. Even with Gotham being portrayed pretty much the same way it is in the comics this Batgirl is a lot less stern than you'd expect.
• Refusal of the Call: Barbara Gordon gathers the group together as a Super Team except Kara Danvers rejects it because using powers only gets her in trouble(she's actually still trying to hide her Secret Identity in spite of the fact she already let having powers slip), Jessica Cruz is still actively refusing the call to be a Green Lantern so she of course refuses Barbara as well, Zee Zatara's an artiste not a police officer and Karen Beecher doesn't think she's good enough yet. Diana's Dare to Be Badass speech falls on deaf ears but they fall like dominoes once Barbara offers them the chance to give Diana a makeover if they at least try a team operation.
• Secret Identity: Everyone has one, though Zee Zatara and Diana of Themyscira had to be convinced to take them up, Zee at first just electing to fight crime in her performance costume and Diana merely throwing on a hooded robe when she didn't want to attract attention. Zee jumping at the chance to play a part in crafting The Wonder Woman's secret identity is a major step in the team coming together.
• The Team: Almost a straight example of the Five-Man Band: Wonder Woman is the disciplined and perfectionistic leader, Batgirl is her unorthodox and energetic lancer, Supergirl is the aggressive muscle, Bumblebee the shy brains, and Green Lantern is the pacifistic heart. Zatanna is the odd girl out in this ensemble, but could also be deemed the Girly Girl due to being the most girly member of the team.
• Theme Music Power-Up: Each individual member has their own tune that plays when their super heroics are in focus, unless the episode involves their transformation sequence, in which case it will play there instead.
• Transformation Sequence: "#Frenemies" reveals that they each have a unique transformation sequence for switching from their civilian forms to their superhero forms (though Karen's had already been shown in previous episodes).
• You Are Better Than You Think You Are: Wonder Woman has harsh criticism for Batgirl and the team Batgirl assembled. She saves her harshest critiques for Supergirl. Wonder Woman does this out of love however, always adding that they all have the tools to achieve greatness and singling out Supergirl for having the potential to be the greatest hero the world of man has ever known. The team throw this back in Wonder Woman's face when trying to motivate her to stand up to Queen Hippolyta.

Wonder Woman (Diana Prince)

"Our mission is to protect the innocent. And that is what we must do!"

Voiced By: Grey DeLisle, Lilly Aspell (younger), Jocelyn Robles (Latin American Spanish), Haruka Tomatsu (Japanese)

Princess of the Amazons, Wonder Woman arrived in the World of Man to spread peace and prosperity by fighting evil while also being shown by her friends how to fit in as Diana Prince, foreign exchange student from Greece.

---

• Abandoned Catch Phrase: Wonder Woman's image has been merchandised, which she doesn't mind. She doesn't approve of the phrase "Great Hera" being attached to products bearing her image, however, and wants it to stop.
• Absurd Phobia: A nightmare reveals she's terrified of technicolor teddy bears asking for hugs. Her reasoning being that people put stuffed versions of mankind's deadliest creatures in the beds of children.
• Academic Athlete: Diana Prince excels at volleyball, fencing, boxing, gymnastics, mathematics and chemistry.
• The Ace:
  • Diana's just as skillful as a leader and combatant as her previous counterparts, still being more competent than adult amazons along with being incredibly smart in AP Calculus by scoring a 102% on a test.
  • Subverted in that her singing voice is absolutely terrible. Finding this out really throws her for a loop.
• Achilles' Heel:
  • The girl's a genius, but try to get her to act like a teen or show her a text message full of emojis and she's clueless.
  • Put a bowl of ice cream in front of her, or really any dessert, and she loses all of her manners and just digs in.
  • Put Steve Trevor in the same vicinity as her and she's pretty much hypnotized and unable to do anything.
• Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: The Post-Crisis Wonder Woman comic had Diana become a Cool Big Sis towards Julia Kapatelis's daughter Vanessa. While Diana eventually lives with Julia near the end of the first season, Vanessa in this continuity is already away at college and therefore never even gets to interact with Diana.
• Adaptational Context Change
  • In most cases Diana enters a contest for the right to venture out into the world of man against her mother's wishes, and the circumstances she finds extend her stay into a mission to improve things, to her mother's annoyance. In this case Hippolyta declared the result of the contest invalid due to Diana entering without her approval, Diana left anyway, and decided what her mission was going to be all on her own.
  • Diana becoming a Homeless Hero was a plot point in DC Comics Bombshells. It was a consequence of her losing most of her memories during a traumatic near death experience and was supposed to be a Bitter Sweet Ending. Here it's a conseuqence of not being shown any hospitality when she arrived in a foreign land and Diana is perfectly functional in and happy with her situation until she realizes her friends think it beneath her.
• Adaptational Dumbass: Wonder Woman is one of the wiser and more mature characters in this show but she has a much harder time adapting to the patriarch's world than most versions of the character. This is justified however, as this Wonder Woman is still developing cognitively and the amazons tried to hinder her mission instead of helping her prepare for it as they had in the comic books.
• Adaptational Modesty: Diana's back to wearing her classic design, though the bottom is a Greco-Roman skirt like the DCEU version rather than the usual Leotard of Power. Unique here, though, are double shoulder-straps and spaulders (shoulder armor).
• Adaptational Personality Change: Diana is almost universally portrayed as being thrilled to hunt, but most versions of Wonder Woman stop short of actually killing anything they catch, being vegetarians with a strong preference towards fruit, nuts, dairy and unfertilized eggs. This Diana remains a carnivore through and through even after developing an exaggerated version of her trademark Sweet Tooth. Mostly for the sake of making Jessica Cruz even more uncomfortable.
• Adaptational Wimp
  • She doesn't have as many powers as any of her "main" comic books counterparts, nor does she display the ones she does have to same degree. However, this version of Diana became Wonder Woman earlier into her physical development than usual, and even in the comics it usually takes a little while into Diana's adult Wonder Woman career to gain or fully develop all of her gifts. Reasonable explanation for it or not though she's still one of the rare cases where Wonder Woman loses to Giganta in their first fight.
  • The lasso of truth is still an unbreakable variable length lariat that prevents the ensnared from lying while compelling those it binds to speak the truth. It does not have the defensive properties from the comic books like protecting the possessor from illusions, negativing Mind Manipulation and purging harmful impurities from the body, however.
• Age Lift: In most media featuring her, she is an adult woman (and depending on the world in question, has been an adult since at least one of the World Wars). While she is still a teenager like in the rest of the main characters of this franchise, she is not a literal teenager, being one of the older versions of Wonder Woman. She is the Amazonian equivalent of a teenager in this setting, rather than the Earth equivalent.
• Always Someone Better: She unintentionally upstages Barbi Minerva in "Meet the Cheetah", from becoming captain of the gymnastics team to getting the highest score on an AP Calculus test.
• Amazonian Beauty: While it's counterbalanced with the occasional Gross-Up Close-Up to show she hasn’t caught onto certain customs, Diana is just as muscular as her other incarnations and seen as just as attractive. Zee even calls her gorgeous when seeing her for the first time.
• Ambiguously Bi: It's obvious that she has a huge crush on Steve Trevor, yet she also has quite a bit of chemistry with Tatsu Yamashiro.
• AM/FM Characterization: In "#TheSlowAndTheFurious" and "#CrashCourse", she is shown to have a preference for classical music and Mediterranean folk-music respectively, befitting both her intellectual nature and her heritage.
• Animal Lover: Not as much as usual, since this is one of the few cases where Diana Prince is a meat eater, but when an egg that was to be her breakfast hatches she has no problem raising the cub/chick as a pet. Karen Beecher reveals to the team that Diana's been giving their dogs care they'd otherwise be denied under cover of darkness(after which Barbara Gordon catches Diana giving Ace The Bat Hound a bath).
• Appropriated Appelation: In this incarnation, the "Wonder Woman" name was first used by the news media.
• Awesome by Analysis: Kara Danvers initially refuses to show Diana her full range of abilities but Diana is able to pick up on her ability to fly in spite of Kara's attempts to hide it. Diana is instantly able to see through one of Zatanna's Doppelgänger Spin spells as well, something Lex Luthor's targeting systems cannot. Diana even conceals her movements with the smoke from Ember's attacks better than Ember herself.
• The B Grade: "#TheMinus" starts with her being upset that she has an A- on her report card.
• Big Eater:
  • After having her first taste of sweets, she scarfs down not only her dessert (a huge bowl of ice cream) but also those of the other five girls.
  • "#LetThemEatPie" also has her in a pumpkin pie-eating contest against Doris Zeul and Barry Allen. As soon as Diana Prince tastes the pie and discovers she likes it, she starts chomping down every last bit she can grab.
• Big Ol' Eyebrows: Hers are considerably thicker than those of the other girls.
• Black Cloak: Initially wore this to hide her identity. During the makeover Karen Beecher explains that Princess Diana's folly was that trying too hard to avoid drawing attention to herself, which tends to do the exact opposite.
• Blunt Metaphors Trauma: She briefly thinks that the girls are being literal when Barbara says she would kill for a Batman poster in "#SweetJustice". When they explain the concept to her, it doesn't go well, with Diana going up to a burrito vendor and scaring him because she says she'll kill him (and doesn't help by chasing him screaming "Accept my payment or die!"). Zee later has to quickly points out that "death by chocolate" is another figure of speech.
• Broken Ace: Diana excels at almost everything she does with much enthusiasm, but underneath that is an obsessive perfectionist streak driven by a strict upbringing as royalty with a mother that wouldn't accept anything less than perfection. She gets really twisted up in knots whenever she discovers any personal shortcomings, and will go to extreme lengths to make up for them.
• Brutal Honesty: Wonder Woman is perfectly willing to acknowledge her nears, equals and betters, and equally willing to correct those who have no right claiming to be. She just takes it when Catwoman runs her down for being a terrible thief but has trouble suppressing a laugh when Catwoman claims to be her equal in combat. She also unintentionally insults Zee Zatara in #TheFreshPrincessOfRenFaire while trying to ease the tension that's been building between the two all day with a compliment. It has been conditioned into Diana by her mother.
• Character Exaggeration: This Diana's personal interactions come from taking Diana's most awkward moments in Post Crisis and New 52 comic books to their logical extremes. Her love for ice cream is the most infamous example. When she first tried it out in the comics, she was rather cheerful to the point of being accidentally threatening (pointed a sword at the vendor while asking for ice cream and later thanking him), while here, she's crazy for it, taking her friends' ice cream after scarfing down hers, declaring it better than ambrosia in Elysium, and wanting to go to the ice cream parlor after every victory.
• Cool Big Sis: Plays this to the other girls, offering emotional and moral support. She's all too happy to help Karen Beecher with the "nerd things" Kara Danvers mocks her about, for one example.
• Competition Freak: Takes this attitude toward a pie-eating contest in "#LetThemEatPie," even though she's completely unfamiliar with the rules. Once she tastes the pie (pumpkin) and finds out she likes it, she becomes even more determined to win, scarfing down every pie on the table and even tackling Lois Lane to get the one she's holding up.
• Composite Character
  • Though she has Diana Prince's name and alter-ego, she has more in common with Donna Troy/Wonder Girl (her younger sister), specifically the version of Donna Troy from Super Best Friends Forever. They have the same role as the more serious Spock speaking leader of a goofy teenager team and Grey DeLisle even uses the same voice for both of the characters.
  • Her powers are most similar to the teenage Diana of the Golden Age, while her appearance draws from the New 52 Comic Books and 2017 live action feature film. Her personality draws most heavily from reverted to teenager Post Crisis Diana, the New 52 Diana in general and the New 52 Donna Troy, who had her own awkward introduction to the world of man.
  • Her fighting style is definitely New 52 influenced, though she seems to have a nerfed version the Summon to Hand trick used by Artemis of Bana-Mighdall, who was nowhere to be seen in New 52.
• Crush Blush: The olived skinned Diana blushes very heavily around Steve Trevor.
• Cuteness Proximity: Experiences this upon finding a kangaroo plushie that looks just like a pet she had when she was 72 (a toddler by Amazon standards).
• Deus Exit Machina: #TheBeeStandsAlone sees Diana Prince eliminated by technicality to ensure her team doesn't get an easy win at dodge ball.
• Experienced Protagonist: Diana is already a seasoned superhero with hundreds of years worth of training and experience. Experience saving bystanders anyway. Interacting with bystanders is something she didn't get around to learning.
• Extracurricular Enthusiast: Along with being captain of the gymnastics team and on the decorating committee, as of "#CrushingIt" Diana is also on the volleyball team, debate team, marching band, and drama club at school. Being The Ace, she does it all with relative ease.
• Face Your Fears: As team leader, Diana had to take her own advice and overcome her fears as she urged them to do. And her fears were her mother, and escalators! More dire, Wonder Woman also stumbled into a second confrontation with Katana before her research into the foe that so easily bested the rest of her team and sent her into hiding was complete.
• Famed In-Story: Subverted: Wonder Woman, the star of a lucrative super hero brand, is famous in this world; Diana of Themyscria, The Wonder Woman actually defending the world, is not. "The Wonder Woman" isn't even a title she chose for herself. There are several pieces of Wonder Woman merchandise which aren't even consistent with each other in design and nothing looks quite like what she actually wears. In-Universe Adaptation Decay is so bad that even her personal friends ascribed catch phrases to her that Diana has never actually used and sometimes outright disapproves of.
• Fighting Your Friend: Diana's fairly reluctant about going for lethal blows anyway, but is especially restrained when she learns Wonder Woman's hunter Katana is also Diana Prince's close friend Tatsu Yamashiro. Wonder Woman's focus on retrieving Katana's Soultaker over disabling Katana leads to Wonder Woman on her back embedded in the ground. Thankfully for Diana it cuts both ways, as Tatsu can no longer bring herself to finish off her friend either.
• Fish out of Water: She’s still a bit new to “the world of man” and needs the others to teach her how to fit in and pass as a normal person. That includes such challenging tasks as answering phones.
• Foreign Exchange Student: The alibi that her team makes for her.
• Friendly Rival: Diana Prince views Tatsu Yamashiro and Barbi Minerva not just as friends but as competitors. This confuses Tatsu, but she reciprocates. Barbi only pretends to reciprocate and hates Diana's guts.
• Gentle Giant: She's big and strong, but she's also incredibly sweet and friendly.
• Good Cannot Comprehend Evil: Due to being Skilled, but Naive, Diana doesn't understand some villains are not simply misguided people, but enjoy doing bad things. Hence why she takes Leslie's blatantly fake apology at its word, and believes she got Barbi to let go of her hatred.
• Gross-Up Close-Up: Sometimes the more athletic characters, Wonder Woman included, are drawn in greater than usual detail to highlight their physiques, but in Wonder Woman's case it is also done to highlight that she doesn't maintain her nails, shave her body hair or file down her calluses.
• The Heart: Putting together the team was Barbara Gordon's idea but if Diana of Themyscira hadn't been dragged into their lives no one would have bought what Barbara was selling and the team disbands when Diana is dragged back out of their lives. Even when Barbara does convince them to come back together it's only for the sake of "saving" Diana. However, once the team truly is established, Jessica Cruz becomes The Heart, as while Diana still offers support where she can, Diana isn't suited for helping her friends through their day to day activities.
• The Hero: She’s an accomplished superhero and the team leader, and teaches the others how to be heroes.
• Hoist by Her Own Petard: A couple of episodes feature Wonder Woman being incapacitated by her own Lasso of Truth.
  Wonder Woman: The Lasso compels me to tell the truth! ...This is humiliating.
• Homeless Hero: Diana was initially living in a tree, as per Amazon tradition to live exactly where they find themselves after arriving in a new land. Her friends' attempts to change this does more harm than good, as they can't handle Diana's antics, and Diana's now embarrassed to go back to tree tops after having a taste of modern living quarters. As of #HousePest, she has all but been adopted by Julia Kapatelis, an archaeology professor studying Themyscira.
• Hopeless with Tech: Diana Prince excels in mathematics and chemistry but has little idea how these subjects apply to the amenities of the modern world. As such she lets all the food in her first refrigerator go to waste, has no idea what to do when she dials the wrong number on her phone or accidentally puts it on speaker and finds autonomous machinery and remotely piloted drones unnerving.
• Hot Blade: Parodied in #TheWarriorAndTheJester where stress over a ruined dessert causes Diana to sharpen her sword so aggressively it start to glow and proceeds to ruin two whetstones.
• Huge Schoolgirl: She's one of the tallest females in Metropolis High, and one of the tallest versions of Wonder Woman, standing 6'2".
• Humble Hero: Despite her incredible aptitude and prowess, she's incredibly modest.
• Immortal Immaturity: Downplayed in that Wonder Woman is among the wisest and most mature characters on the show, and justified in that her body and mind are still developing. Still, she jumps to conclusions more quickly than is typical of Wonder Woman, has less impulse control concerning love of people and love of food, at one point even struggles to deal with her own envy. Wonder Woman had similar problems in the Post Crisis comic books when she had been forcibly reverted to a teenager.
• Impossible Hourglass Figure: She's quite curvy and built, which might be because of her age.
• Innocently Insensitive: Just like her DC Rebirth counterpart Diana is sometimes guilty of underestimating the gap between herself and everyone else. In #CrashCourse she fails to realize no amount of rigorous physical activity is going to make Karen Beecher as fast as a car, something the even faster and more mean spirited Kara Zor-El understands perfectly.
• The Insomniac: #HousePest includes a low stakes parody of Diana's insomnia plot line from DC Rebirth, references her Instant Waking Skills from The Golden Age and gives her Wake Up Make Up too boot.
• Jabba Table Manners: It seems Amazon society lacks any table manners. Diana gorges on handfuls of her food, sometimes planting her face into it if she really likes it.
• Kneel Before Frodo: She mistook Jessica Cruz for modest royalty that she had just inadvertently challenged and knelt down in front of Jessica in submissive forgiveness, much to Jessica's protestation.
• Knows the Ropes: Diana possess a large arsenal of edged weaponry, but as the series progresses uses less and less of it outside of training, mostly reaching for a rope when her hand and feet are not enough
• Know When to Fold 'Em: After Katana cut down half of The Super Hero Girls, Wonder Woman commanded her remaining two teammates to flee with her, and as the other two proved too slow to escape, resigned herself to hiding from Katana until she could figure out her foe's abilities and limitations. Unfortunately for Wonder Woman, Katana vowed to hunt her down and Diana Prince's attempts to research her hunter lead to Diana calling her most trusted Japanese comrade Tatsu Yamashiro for help after Diana found herself stumped. Since calling Tatsu was the same thing as leading Katana right to her, "folding" was no longer an option.
• Large Ham: She can enter this territory when it comes to her discovering "World of Man" activities, such as expressions and dodgeball.
• Large Runt: Diana resents being called a girl, but biologically speaking she is. A girl already taller than most adult men but a girl from a place where the grown women stand above eight feet tall.
• The Leader: Batgirl puts the team together, but tasks Wonder Woman with whipping it into shape in exchange for the rest of them teaching Diana how to better fit in the patriarch's world. Wonder Woman often takes charge when she feels it necessary or just wants the first go at some novelty by citing "seniority".
• Literal-Minded: Lesson number 5 in teaching Diana Prince how to blend in to modern society are figures of speech, hyperbole and other non literal expressions.
• Love at First Sight: Diana fell hopelessly in love with Steve Trevor, the first boy she ever met, when she first arrived in the World of Man...
• Love Makes You Dumb: ...and whenever she sees Steve Trevor, she goes from a fierce, brave Amazon warrior to a blubbering, lovesick teen in an instant.
• Mistaken Age: She ends up meeting the team because a truancy officer saw her walking around outside and assumed she was cutting class. Although she is equivalent to a teenager.
• Morality Pet: Diana can be seen as this to Katana. Even when fighting her, she can't bear to severely hurt her due to how kind and caring she was towards her. Upon accidentally absorbing her soul into the Soultaker sword, she shows immense regret, and releases all the souls she captured.
• Ms. Fanservice: Not to the extent as most other depictions of Diana, but she has the most mature figure out of any female teen in the show, and her superhero outfit is the most revealing out of her entire team.
• Mundane Object Amazement: Frequently, due to being out of touch with the World of Man. For instance, she mistakes a coin-operated fortune teller^note which was revealed to be unplugged the entire time for an oracle similar to the Oracle of Delphi and is immediately enraptured by it.
• My God, What Have I Done?: Happens to Diana twice.
  • Combined with It's All My Fault the first time when "#KaraCare" starts with Kara suffering massive Kryptonite exposure from an explosion after facing Metallo (meaning his remains had Kryptonite), and it's implied Diana put Kara in that position. However, Diana tries to help Kara recover to make up for that.
  • "#SoulSisters Part 2" has Diana lead the gang to find the person stealing the souls of the villains of Metropolis, including the "Super Villain Girls" (which happened in Part 1). However, Katana finds them first, and Diana is the only member of the gang who survives Katana's Soultaker attacks (the souls of the others are sucked into Soultaker).
• Nice Girl: Diana is one of the nicest members of the gang, even to someone like Barbi.
• Not Even Bothering with the Accent: Averted. Almost every incarnation of Diana speaks with an American accent, but her accent in this series is meant to accentuate her heritage.
• Oh, My Gods!: She frequently invokes the names of various Greek gods, leading her to say things like "By the white beard of Zeus!"
• The Paragon: Diana was victorious in The Tournament of Aphrodite And Athena, and thus proved herself as the best representative of amazon culture to the outside world. The Themyscira tribe holds her commands at equal value with their queen's. Even in high school she's described as strong, brave, disciplined, a star athlete ("Most Likely to Win an Olympic Medal," according to the school yearbook), and the perfect student.
• Percussive Pick Pocket: A skill she learns from Catwoman and initially pulls off well enough. But the desired card isn't in the pocket she's told to pick and then Wonder Woman starts messing up as she's told to keep trying.
• The Perfectionist: Queen Hippolyta taught her daughter to either perform flawlessly the first time, or train rigorously until she could. Now, Diana believes she's either perfect or a failure, no middle ground. Even something as minor as getting an A-minus instead of an A is enough to send her into a tailspin.
• Plot Allergy: Diana is willing to take care of Dexter until she holds him, and it's revealed she's highly allergic to cats. This is averted in other episodes, with Diana holding cats without any trouble. Most obviously #AllAboutZee, which definitely takes place after #RageCat.
• Primary-Color Champion: Still wearing the good-old red, yellow, and blue.
• Princess Protagonist: Is the Princess of the Amazons and one of the main characters.
• Proportional Aging: 317 years old, but still considerably shorter than the adult Amazons, and would normally still be treated by them as an adolescent. She recalls having a pet kangaroo when she was 72. She went behind her mother's back to pass a difficult series of trials, which is why she still calls herself "Wonder Woman" and eventually gets them to recognize her as an adult.
• Race Lift: She has olive-toned skin to accentuate her Greek inspiration.
• Really 700 Years Old: She's 317 and is referred to as immortal.
• Rebellious Princess: Just like the comic books, Diana can outdo the best of the adult amazons while she herself is still developing. Unlike the comic books the queen doesn't allow her daughter to leave the island when she proves it by triumphing in a contest for the right and tracks Diana down when Diana decides to leave anyway. Downplayed in that while Diana is defying the wishes of her queen, Hippolyta is breaking her own law to protect her princess.
• Religious Bruiser: She is reverent to Aphrodite, Zeus, Athena, Boreas, Panacea, Hestia and Hypnos, invoking them both when calm and under stress.
• Right for the Wrong Reasons: Diana scoffs at a Global Positioning System program, insisting she can guide Jessica Cruz faster than such "unreliable" technology using a road atlas. She can, but Diana doesn't understand the rules of the road, the boundaries of the streets or that cars don't have minds of their own like horses, that all obstacles have to be avoided manually. Once Jessica informs her of the latter Diana does become complimentary of Jessica's skill as a driver, suggesting she would be even better with a chariot.
• The Runaway: The vagrant kind. She initially tells the girls that she was sent by Themyscira to bring peace to the world, but then her mother shows up to bring her home and reveals that she ran off.
• Secret-Keeper: Becomes an unwilling one at the end of #TheWarriorandtheJester when Harleen forces her to keep quiet about her secret identity by calling on the "favor" from earlier in the episode.
• Shout-Out: In "#SoulSisters", she says the line, "I...am not left handed!"
• Sleepwalking: She sometimes fights in her sleep.
• Smart People Play Chess: Diana uses chess as a metaphorical means of educating her peers in the world of man.
• Smart People Wear Glasses: In her civilian persona, she sometimes uses glasses to help disguise herself, and she's a straight A student who is a competent leader and tactician.
• Smitten Teenage Girl: Only around Steve Trevor. Get her in front of him and the Amazon princess dissolves into a blushing, babbling mess.
• Spirited Competitor: Diana's relieved to have lost at fencing to Tatsu, as it means she now has a competitor worth defeating.
• Spock Speak: The show really runs with the on and off "short on contractions" trend that started in the Post Crisis comic books by having her launch into regularly interrupted character filibusters. In this case it is used to demonstrate her awkwardness as much as it does her royal upbringing. Diana's even more awkward though when she tries to drop it while talking to Steve Trevor.
• Statuesque Stunner: 6'2" and still growing, if the adult Amazons are anything to go by, and as a couple of characters in-universe can attest to, just as attractive as her other incarnations.
• Strong as They Need to Be: The first time Diana of Themyscira fights Kara Danvers Diana can only slightly budge Kara backwards from a standing position. Wonder Woman is later able to kick a charging Supergirl hopped up on red kryptonite skyward, however. Ironically Wonder Woman does worse in the fight where her strikes are more effective since Wonder Woman's attempt to follow up with a Meteor Move is denied by the flight capable Supergirl and Wonder Woman finds herself at a massive disadvantage off of the ground.
• Super-Reflexes: Wonder Woman can't keep pace with the hit and run tactics of Supergirl or Cheetah, but can easily dodge their blows and consistently counter strike when they come within her wingspan. Her reflexes proved to be insufficient against General Zod, however.
• Super-Speed: She's fast enough to catch motor vehicles and block bullets, but can just barely defend herself from The Flash and can't catch up to him if he wants to keep distance between them.
• Super-Strength: Parodied in #TheMinus, where Diana hits a wall hard enough with a wooden broom to make the entire school lurch in her direction.
• Sweet Tooth: She seems to really enjoy desserts. She scarfs down ice cream after tasting it for the first time, and in "#LetThemEatPie", we see pumpkin pie is another dessert she learns to love a lot.
• Taking the Bullet: She takes a hit from one of Katana's soul-sucking blasts to save an innocent man's life.
• The Strategist: Wonder Woman has the highest track record when it comes to formulating winning strategies on the show. She does consult Bumblebee for insight into technological foes, Zatana when suspecting her understanding of enemy magic is lacking and Batgirl on espionage but still is usually the one who decides on the course of action.
• Totally Radical: Her attempts to use normal teen slang often result in this: "I possess dance moves which are rich in fleek!"
• Trademark Favorite Food: Ice cream.
• Transformation Sequence: She has two. One is the spin from the 1970s Live Action series and there's a new one usually done in sequence with someone else's made for this show. Wonder Woman even uses one in reverse to revert back to Diana Prince!
• Turning Into Your Parent: While comic book Diana is all to aware of this possibility, and avoids it to a fault, here Diana lacks the self awareness until Aunt Antiope calls her out on it.
• Unusual Pets for Unusual People: In grand tradition, Diana has an atypical pet. This time it is a griffin that was supposed to be her breakfast.
• Walking Tech Bane: In the earliest episodes she still does not have a hang on modern technology. And by that we mean modern plumbing, nearly destroying Green Lantern's house with her misuse of it alone and thinking she was being helpful to Jessica in the process. When taking a driving class Diana manages to stall a car without even leaving the parking lot.
• Warrior Princess: An Amazonian Princess, this is to be expected.
• "Well Done, Daughter!" Girl: She spends most of "#MotherKnowsBest" trying to win Queen Hippolyta's approval of her chosen lifestyle during the latter's visit to Metropolis, but instead becomes increasingly jealous of how well Hippolyta and Kara are getting along. Hippolyta eventually admits that she is proud of Diana and always has been, even if she doesn't say it aloud.
• What Does She See in Him?: None of the other girls can figure out why she's so infatuated with Steve Trevor, who's a Ridiculously Average Guy.
• What the Hell Is That Accent?: Diana's accent confuses many viewers. Fans have wondered whether it's Italian, Spanish, Mexican, or what? There seems to be some Mediterranean influence but a hint of Latin American slightly similar to Jessica Cruz(Who seems to be Mexican). It's likely supposed to be Greek, to go with Themyscira's Greek inspiration with a touch of "Latin" for "Rome".
• Willfully Weak: #TheMinus reveals amazons eat a special fruit before battle to boost their energy levels, but Diana had never felt the need to eat one until the events of the episode. Kara Danvers is convinced the things aren't worth it and need to be tossed for Diana's own good. Karen Beecher disagrees until she sees the effect a single bite has on Barbara Gordon.
• The Worf Effect: Her prowess eventually earns the respect of her entire team, and she's often the last one standing when they run into trouble. When Wonder Woman is taken down early it tends to give everyone but Supergirl pause.
• Your Costume Needs Work: Wonder Woman is already a famous superhero with a media franchise by the time of the first episode, or rather Wonder Woman is a famous franchise based off of a mysterious figure Shrouded in Myth. Diana herself isn't recognized, being accosted by a truancy officer and even called a cheap cosplayer by Kara Danvers. We later see at least three other people dressing up as Wonder Woman and all of their costumes are noticeably differences from Diana's outfit, as well each other. Red and gold on top and blue bottoms with white stars being the only consistencies.

Supergirl (Kara Danvers)

"Okay I am a superhero alright? Ugh, so what?"

Voiced By: Nicole Sullivan (2019-2021), Jessica Ángeles (Latin American Spanish), Megumi Han (Japanese)

As the last daughter of Krypton, cousin to Superman, and adopted daughter of the Danvers, Kara has a bit of an anger problem thanks to Superman and being seen as a delinquent, but she's still able to save the day as Supergirl.

---

• Acquired Situational Narcissism: After donning the "Power Girl" identity and costume, she very quickly lets the fame go to her head, to the point of claiming she flies solo. It took her almost getting killed by Livewire again to snap out of it.
• Adaptation Origin Connection: In this continuity, she inspires Ted Kord to become the Blue Beetle by saving his life.
• Adaptation Personality Change: She's more rebellious and hot-tempered than most Karas, especially the original DCSHG Supergirl. Though Kara is sometimes angry even in the comics (to the point where she was once a Red Lantern).
• Adaptational Context Change: Adventure Comics #397 started a trend of Supergirl going through different outfits based on fan submitted sketches, with the villain Zond shredding her original look as the justification, and her first new suit being made by Diana Prince, who was running a boutique. Here Supergirl's clothing is intact, she's changing looks to fake her death and Zee Zatara is the one providing the new clothing, which rapidly changes due to Kara not liking what Zee comes up with.
• Adaptational Jerkass: This show's Supergirl does draw pretty heavily from DC's Post Crisis comic books but she's basically the worst of Post Crisis Supergirl and Post Crisis Power Girl stuffed into one package and wrapped with Post Crisis Superboy's civilian clothing. The thing most original to this show is that she's also dumber than both Post Crisis Karas while having all of their negative social traits. Also, she doesn't have the excuse of a chemical imbalance like Post Crisis Supergirl, which also means she can't be treated, nor does she have the existential crisis of Post Crisis Power Girl, it's everyone else who needs to know how awesome she is!
• Adaptational Dumbass: In the comics, Kara is a science genius even by Kryptonian standards, and Krypton is eons more scientifically advanced than Earth. Here, however, Kara is significantly less proficient at science. In "#SuperWho", she doesn't understand any of Karen's scientific speak, even though it is literally what they learned in chemistry class in her Earth high school that day.
  Karen: Remember chemistry class? High temperatures can break chemicals down to their base elements!
  (Kara stares at her and lifts her shoulders and hands up in an "I don't know" shrug)
• Adaptational Modesty: After deciding to let the people think Supergirl died in the fight against Livewire, Kara takes on the new identity of Power Girl. However, the famous Cleavage Window on her outfit is noticeably a lot smaller than the original Power Girl's.
• AM/FM Characterization: Kara listens to heavy metal and hard rock, which is perfectly in line with her rebellious personality.
• Apologetic Attacker: She initially does this in her fight with Diana, as she thinks that she just punched a normal girl through the wall.
• Arbitrary Skepticism: In #SchoolGhoul, she says she doesn't believe in ghosts despite previously having her very own soul taken by Katana, who lampshades it. Kara handwaves it as being no proof.
• Asleep in Class: Just to emphasize that she cares the least about her studies.
• Balloon Belly: As a result of her Big Eater tendencies, she's seen sporting a fat-looking gut after eating a bunch of turkey legs at a Renaissance Fair.
• Berserk Button: Being compared to Superman or mistaken as his sister. She trying hard to be a superhero in her own right but feels overshadowed by her more popular cousin to the point one can see some shades of resentment. She nearly yelled at a kid at one point when they thought of her as a Distaff Counterpart.
• Big Eater: While not shown often, on occasion it's shown that she will really indulge in ice cream or comfort food when she can.
• The Big Girl: She’s hot-tempered and aggressive, and as a Kryptonian, is by far the physically strongest person on the team.
• Black Comedy: Kara's teammates, excepting Babara Gordon, find the Stop Sign Massacre series highly disturbing. Even Barbara winces at the fate of the murder victims, but Kara Danvers actively roots for the serial killers!
• Blessed with Suck
  • She bemoans the fact that she can’t get tattoos or piercings or dye her hair because she’s invulnerable.
  • Her super hearing can pick out all vibrations around her, but she has trouble shutting if off and just focusing on one thing. Still has a better attention span than Barbara Gordon though.
• Blood Knight
  • Before warming up to Jessica Cruz Kara Danvers tries to assault her for attempting to break up Kara's fight with Princess Diana
  • "#KaraCare" shows that, unlike every other iteration of the House of El's surviving members, she actually wants to fight Doomsday!
• Boisterous Bruiser: as the muscle of the team, she tends to be brash, but outgoing.
• Boyish Short Hair: She wears an uneven bob and has a rebellious attitude.
• Bratty Food Demand: Kara insists on calling Ember "Amber" and mocking her for being a nerd while frequently returning to Ember's food booth for more helpings, at one point demanding that Ember put a turkey leg directly in Kara's mouth.
• Breath Weapon: She has two, but rarely uses them, as that would require more thought than blasting problems she can see with her eyes or hitting them with her hands.
• Brought Down to Badass: Subverted: In #AllAboutZee Kara loses most of her power but retains a great vertical leap and degree of toughness. Diana thinks that will be enough, but it isn't. Even when Kara loses all of her power completely she's still a tall and very muscular teen...with no cardio vascular endurance, no pain tolerance, no confidence, a severe lack of good sense and little experience with common tools like bicycles. A sharp departure from how The House Of El are usually portrayed when weakened or depowered.
• Brutal Honesty: When it becomes clear Diana cannot sing, it falls on Kara to tell her. While the others are upset at her bluntness, Jess quietly thanks her as well.
• Calling Parents by Their Name: She insistently refers to her foster father Jeremiah Danvers by his given name.
• Character Tics: Kara tends to dig for earwax when she's at a loss for things to do.
• Composite Character: Mixes Supergirl's outfit and adopted last name with Power Girl's hair, physique, and personality (and "#PowerSurge" even sees her don the Power Girl costume and identity). Likewise, her civilian clothes strongly resemble Conner Kent's 90's outfit.
• Create Your Own Villain: She accidentally creates the final threat of #Superwho and is then dejected over not getting credit for stopping it, even though she wouldn't have been able to do that much without Karen Beecher.
• Cuteness Proximity: Suffers from this in "#AdventuresInBunnySitting", gushing over the pair of white rabbits Zatanna leaves in her care and even giving them nicknames.
• Dark and Troubled Past: She was old enough to remember when Krypton was destroyed and was frozen in space for years before being found. Then, she was expelled from Smallville High School for destroying the gym, even though she insisted she'd been framed for it. In "#TheGoodTheBadAndTheBizarre," the principal of Metropolis High uses this as grounds to accuse her of a rash of vandalism and suspend her. She turns out to be innocent; a Bizarro counterpart of her was responsible for both incidents.
• Defacement Insult: Supergirl makes a genuine effort to stop Bizarro Supergirl from causing destruction, until it comes to a Superman statue. Supergirl blasts it's head herself.
• Desk Sweep of Rage: Kara's response to Diana trying to teach her the value of strategy through chess is to knock the board off the table and nearly into Barbara after being put in check.
• Destructive Savior: Brash and abrasive attitude + Kryptonian powers = things getting wrecked. This is the first flaw in Kara that Diana seeks to improve...but progress is slow. Deconstructed in #PowerSurge, as her destructive way of fighting causes most to not actually like her despite the good she does.
• Does Not Know Her Own Strength: Her attitude will easily get the better of her, leading her to wreck and damage things in the process without her realizing it. Alarm clocks, cars, lockers, her cell phone...
• Dope Slap: Kara eventually punches Barbara in the arm for repeatedly making light of kryptonite's effects on her.
• Dressed in Layers: Wears her costume under a jacket in the way that Kon-El did.
• Dude, Where's My Respect?: Everything she does either gets compared to Superman, or he gets all the credit. This is especially galling because she's chronologically older than Superman (Clark arrived on Earth first while she was in suspended animation), and it's gotten to the point that nobody outside the team can get her code name right, with the public sometimes calling her Supermangirl or Mrs. Superman.
• Dumb Muscle: She is the team member least likely to use her intelligence to solve problems, and also the strongest.
• Embarrassing Nick Name: She's praised for saving Metropolis from Shaggy Man in #StrainedFighters...and then laughed at for how bad the makeshift costume she wore while doing it was, due to her Supergirl outfit being in the wash. She's makes front page news as "Hot Mess Girl" and is negatively contrasted to Superman.
• Epic Fail: In "#AngerManagement", Mr. Chapin brings up that Kara is doing so poorly in school that she's somehow flunked homeroom.
  Mr. Chapin: How do you manage to fail a block of time that doesn't even give grades?
• Evil Costume Switch: While under Ra's Al Ghul's mind control, Supergirl's costume gains a sinister looking red and black color scheme. It changes back to normal once the spell over her is broken.
• Fastball Special: Her part in defeating the kraken of #AwesomeAntiope.
• Fire-Forged Friends: Kara's the one most skeptical of Wonder Woman's identity and the one slowest to warm up to her even after Wonder Woman takes it as a challenge and proves who she really is. However, Supergirl doesn't just come to respect Wonder Woman for her capabilities, she doesn't just come to like Diana as a friend, but Kara becomes the one most concerned for Wonder Woman's well being. She's the first on the team to face her fear of Livewire when it becomes clear Wonder Woman's going to be fried and is determined to crush a monster she doesn't even know anything about yet for assaulting Diana in the locker room.
• Flying Brick: She wouldn't be Supergirl if she wasn't one. Also with three forms of fire power.
• Gale-Force Sound: Kara hooks her guitar up to enough amplifiers to blow Karen away from the sheer noisiness alone.
• Gasshole: According to Zee, Kara likes to belch the alphabet.
• Gift-Giving Gaffe: Kara gave Jessica Cruz an "I Owe You" for Jessica's birthday.
• Glad I Thought of It: When Karen Beecher suggests Kara's new identity be called "Power Girl", Kara shoots it down as stupid and but then claims to have a "Eureka!" Moment...before publicly introducing herself as Power Girl.
• Glowing Eyes of Doom: She has two ways of seeing in the dark. Tracking heat and projecting it.
• Green-Eyed Monster: She's super envious and resentful of her cousin Superman. Considering she's really the older one (she babysat him on Krypton in fact), only less mature physically and experience-wise due to spending years drifting in space in hypersleep while Clark came to Earth first and thus didn't have that problem, she's got a pretty good reason, not to mention Clark doesn't do any favors by being patronizing towards her, and a bit of a showboat. She's also aware that Wonder Woman is more popular than her, but she initially doesn't know who this Wonder Woman actually is and later becomes her friend, so the resentment from that ends up directed at Superman too.
• Hartman Hips: Kara's well-rounded hips are noticeably wider than her waistline.
• Healing Factor: In the event something does manage to hurt Supergirl the damage will quickly be repaired. Exceptions are when she is hurt by kryptonite or magic.
• Heavy Sleeper: Kara can sleep through almost anything; it's partially justified by her invulnerability, so she doesn't even feel a flamethrower or a dynamite explosion.
• Hell-Bent for Leather: Her coolness is accentuated by her leather jacket.
• Hidden Depths: Despite being something of a punk rocker ("Most Likely to Become a Rock Star," according to the yearbook), she has an incredible soft spot for cute things, as shown in "#AdventuresInBunnySitting".
• Hippie Parents: If the dress they foisted on her for picture day is any indication, her foster parents/legal guardians, the Danvers, are these.
• Implausible Deniability: She keeps trying to deny she has anything to do with super heroics after the other five Super Hero Girls come clean with each other and they all saw Kara's abilities at work. Once Diana shows them that Kara can fly Kara finally gives up.
• Impossible Hourglass Figure: Her upper body, hips and legs are broad and muscular, with a waist only slightly wider than her neck.
• Insistent Terminology: She insists that the only kryptonite is actual Kryptonite, getting annoyed when Babs compares Diana's lovesick reaction to Steve to it.
• Jerkass: While The Super Hero Girls are sharing a bowl of ice cream, passing it around in turn while each gives an opinion on owning vehicles, Kara gets angry and bends the spoon they're using so Karen can't scoop any while ranting about having to give way to ambulance drivers. Barbara then gives everyone their own utensil.
• Jerkass Has a Point: In general, Kara is brash, destructive, callous, insensitive and driven by jealousy, but she's not wrong about Clark's ego or the fact that she doesn't get her deserved respect from the public. She still averts disasters and stops menances more destructive than herself.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Again, she's brash and rebellious, but still good.
  Barbara Gordon: She wants you to think she doesn't care, but really, she's just a big softie.
  • Emphasized in "#AccordingToGarth" where she develops a genuine friendship with Garth (Aqualad) and enjoys doing his robot-fight games.
• Know When to Fold 'Em: When General Zod emerges from The Phantom Zone with Non and Ursa, Supergirl does kneel before him to protect the world. However, when Zod doesn't recognize Kara Zor-El and demands Kal show himself Kara loses it and decides to fight Zod anyway.
• Kryptonite Factor:
  • "#KaraCare" starts off with her suffering from this after facing Metallo. His "remains" have enough Kryptonite to severely weaken Kara to where Diana feels guilt about putting Kara to where it could have happened.
  • "#MeetTheCheetah" shows another weakness Kryptonians have: magic. When facing the Cheetah, she accidentally gets zapped by Zatanna (who was aiming for the Cheetah herself, but the Cat Girl dodged the spell in time). Also, in "#SoulSisters", she's as vulnerable to Katana's sword attacks as anyone else.
• Leeroy Jenkins: In "#FightAtTheMuseum#" she develops a habit of charging headfirst into battle without waiting for the rest of the girls. At one point this forces Green Lantern to take more violent than usual measures to save Supergirl from a mega microbe, this being when Supergirl has been hypnotized in an attempt to make her less aggressive. She even references the trope namer:
  All right, time's up! Let's do this! SUPERGIIIIRLLL!!!
• Leg Focus: She's muscular legged, and her pants make up for it with her anatomy. Compared to the rest of her friends, including Diana who is the tallest in the group, Kara stands out.
• Lethally Stupid: Karen attempts to help Kara in what is either a chemistry or physical science class but Kara fails to follow Karen's instructions and ends up causing an explosion.
• Metalhead: Kara jams on her electric guitar and is a huge fan of heavy metal and hard rock. This results in her looking down on other genres of music, as shown in the short "#TheSlowAndTheFurious", where she got into an argument with Zee and Diana over what music station they should listen to, jazz, classical, or metal, and in "#LeagueOfShadows", where she scoffs at Karen's preference for the boy band Up Past 8 and drags her to a metal concert instead. She also, naturally, has the civilian outfit to match: leather jacket, ripped jeans, and dark red combat boots.
• Ms. Fanservice: The curviest member of the cast, with her large breasts and wide hips giving her an Impossible Hourglass Figure. One episode even has her wear the Power Girl outfit, complete with its infamous Cleavage Window.
• Never My Fault: It's a silly superstition to begin with but Kara Danvers was the one who claimed nothing could stop Diana in #CrushingIt before Steve Trevor arrived and ruined her volleyball game. Yet Kara blamed Karen Beecher for "jinxing it". Supergirl also blames Bumblebee for Catwoman's betrayal of the team in #AllyCat, even though Supergirl's the one who suggested going to Catwoman for help. Kara even blames Jessica for not warning the team about how shrewd Lois Lane was even though Kara was the most dismissive of Jessica's warnings.
• Not a Morning Person: Smashes her alarm clock while waking up. Fortunately, she has spares.
• Not So Above It All: Kara Danvers claims to hate all things nerdy, and for the most part this proves true. She does become attached to a video game at the arcade, however, to the point of annoyance when Harleen Quinzel distracts Kara while playing it and then accuses Kara of not being any good at it. By #MotherKnowsBest Kara is a full on video game enthusiast.
• Picky Eater: She refuses to even try sushi until it's cooked, which Kara ends up doing with her Eye Beams.
• Playing Sick: The short "#KaraCare" has Kara pulling this stunt, getting the other girls to care for her long after she recovered from Kryptonite Poisoning.
• Popular Is Dumb: Kara's reasoning for seeing The League Of Shadows over Up Past 8 is that the latter group are too popular to be cool. Karen isn't sold but Kara has Super-Strength and everyone else present is too engrossed with a movie to care.
• The Power of Rock: She uses a guitar like the one she has at home (which keeps blowing out the electrical wiring) to help save the day in "#SweetJustice".
• Pretender Diss: When Karen Beecher and Barbara Gordon identify Diana of Themyscira as The Wonder Woman, Kara Danvers dismisses Diana as a cosplayer. When Barbara then admits that she is Batgirl she's also dismissed by Kara as one.
• Pungeon Master: Likes to let loose as many puns as she can apply to the situation. Rarely do her teammates appreciate them.
• Sleepwalking: Supergirl is guilty of flying in her sleep. And being a Heavy Sleeper, waking her up is pretty much impossible, so the only option is to direct her back to the bedroom, which is almost as difficult.
• Smug Super: While under the effects of Ra's Al Ghul's brainwashing Kara Danvers goes from merely insensitive, brash and temperamental to taking pleasure in the pain and inconvience she causes other people.
• Street Smart: Supergirl is more of a punch first, think later kind of woman, but she has her moments. While the team's first victory comes from actually considering Wonder Woman's advice and Batgirl deciding the best way to go about it, Supergirl's experience in causing unnecessary destruction ends up proving just as valuable with a proper outlet for it. Hippolyta also finds Kara's tour of Metropolis much funner than Diana's.
• Stubborn Hair:
  • Her hair is impervious to any attempts to cut or style it, including power sanders, blowtorches, and even dynamite. It takes the combined might of nine adult amazons just to move it out of place(or the kick of one Wonder Woman, but it quickly resettles from that).
  • Her hair is also the least effected by Livewire's shocks, especially when contrasted to Zatanna's. Although it turns out Zatanna's magic can change Supergirl's when she dons her "Power Girl" identity.
• Super-Senses: Kara has infrared vision that allows her to find people in the dark and she can even see through walls if she wants to.
• Super-Speed: This is used against her when she is accused of vandalizing the Great Wall Of China and damaging the Taj Mahal despite being in Metropolis, people thinking she's fast enough to pull it off despite Supergirl insisting she's being framed. It works in her favor while pummeling Giganta, however.
• Super-Strength: Kara can lift cars and punch people to the horizon. With a little elevation from her flight she can even send objects into space.
• Teeth Clenched Team Work: Resolves to do her best Egg Sitting with Harleen Quinzel in an effort to keep herself out of summer school.
• Troll: She often joins activities she otherwise has no interest in for the sole purpose of mocking the participants, even when said participants are her friends. This includes school dances, renaissance fairs and trick or treating.
• Unskilled, but Strong
  • The pilot establishes that she Does Not Know Her Own Strength, and her attacks are telegraphed, as shown by Wonder Woman managing to avoid her punches rather easily early on in their fight. This comes back up in "#FightAtTheMuseum" where Diana points out that her Leeroy Jenkins attacks won't work all the time. She took this advice after being trolled by Catwoman.
  • Supergirl had never wielded a weapon prior to #TheFreshPrincessOfRenFaire but does just fine swinging a mace in the general direction of things she wants to hit. It's not like Supergirl has to worry about accidentally hitting herself or mastering its weight distribution. Barbara Gordon, a comparatively more skilled fighter, had previously stumbled immediately after grabbing the same mace.
• Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: "#LivingTheNightmare" implies Kara is afraid of bugs, specifically cockroaches. #SirenConch back this up, with Kara leaping behind a chair in the Troubled Fetal Position after seeing one... but in her defense, those ones were pretty evil-looking.
• Willfully Weak: Kara Danvers doesn't use all of her powers during her intial fight with Diana and, later, Jessica Cruz. Kara proves much more difficult to contain the second time while brainwashed by Ra's Al Ghuld to be uninhibitied, with Supergirl's flight in particular being problematic for Wonder Woman.
• The Worf Effect: The entire team, sans Batgirl, suffers from it against Starro, but Supergirl takes the harshest beating of them all. Zee is merely face down, everyone else in or under wreckage. Supergirl is at the bottom of a crater the sunlight doesn't fully illuminate! Her remaining teammates all freakout when Supergirl bumrushes Katana and gets defeated by a single swipe.
• Worf Had the Flu: Supergirl is the only one not intimidated but ready to avenge Diana when The Super Hero Girls discover something was in the process of assaulting their leader and actually managed to knock Diana flat on her face. Of course the resident Flying Brick would stand the best chance against Cheetah - which is why Supergirl's lured into Zatanna's magic blasts.

Bumblebee (Karen Beecher)

"Oh, I'm not gonna try. I'm gonna do!"

Voiced By: Kimberly Brooks, Lourdes Arruti (Latin American Spanish), Nana Mizuki (Japanese), Marta Dobecka (Polish)

A shy Gadgeteer Genius, Karen is one of the smartest, but shyest, girls in school. As Bumblebee, she uses a self-designed armored suit that allows her to fly and shrink.

---

• Adaptation Dye-Job: In other incarnations Karen has brown eyes. Here, she has green eyes.
• Adaptation Personality Change: She's less confident and shyer than other incarnations. She's has none of the mischievous tendencies the original comic book Bumblebee had as a teenager.
• Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Karen Beecher is no longer a member of The Teen Titans, but a babysitter of The Tween Titans.
• Adaptational Badass: The upgraded suit of the show more obviously serves as armor that anything comic book Bumblebee wore, and has far more applications, like wireless communication, molecular scanning and physical projectiles. No sonic attacks though.
• Adaptational Wimp: The Bumblebee suit doesn't seem to increase Bumblebee's reflexes and definitely doesn't increase her strength, or stamina. Bumblebee's second suit on this show is more armored than anything she wore in the comics up to that point, however and Diana Prince makes sure her team stays in physical shape, so Bumblebee doesn't really need the stamina boost here.
• AM/FM Characterization: Karen regularly listens to boy bands, which showcases her Girly Girl and romantic personality.
• Almighty Janitor: Karen Beecher's not above using the might of the Bumblebee suit to punish those who don't respect her authority as hall monitor.
• Amusing Injuries: Bumblebee's casually swatted in her tiny form by Zee Zatara, who is horrified when Zee realizes what she just did. An amazon also catches Bumblebee in her palm and proceeds to give Bumblebee a noogie.
• Animal Motifs: Bumblebees are more docile than most stinging bees, but are still an animal most others would rather not be around when they show signs of agitation. Aside from her costume, she has a variety of bee-themed boxes and furniture in her house. Ironically, it wasn't her first choice of name, with Wonder Woman having come up with the moniker and Barbara encouraging her to use it.
• Appropriated Appellation: She takes up the moniker of "Bumblebee" after Diana calls her that (as well as shoots down the name Karen wanted to go for), and Barbara tells her to roll with it.
  Bumbleblee: I actually prefer "The Indestructible, Gamma-Phase, 1000k—"
  Wonder Woman: Bumblebee.
  Batgirl: Trust me, it's way better.
• Apologises a Lot: Bumblebee is this way. In the pilot, she tries to angrily shut the door in Barbara's face but keeps on apologizing, leading Babs to just shut it herself.
• Artistic License – Biology: Honey combs are made by honey bees. Justified in that the bumblebee motif wasn't what Karen Beecher was going for to begin with, but something Diana of Themyscira used in an attempt to instill more confidence in Karen. Something that Barbara Gordon proceeded to excessively push on Karen while helping Karen upgrade her suit.
• The Baby of the Bunch: Karen is 14, whereas the rest of the group are all old enough to drive. She's also the smallest and meekest.
• Batman Gambit: After Beast Boy steals her Transformation Trinket and Robin plans on disposing of it, Karen taunts Cyborg about it's locking mechanism being too complex for him to bypass. Cyborg puts off the unlocking to prove Karen wrong...and gives her access to the Bumblebee suit in the process.
• Beta Outfit: Starts with a homemade suit that's duct-taped together, but still has the Hyperspace Arsenal and shrinking ability.
• Beware the Quiet Ones: A shy 14-year-old who also happens to be an inventor with a robotic suit complimented by Diana. The one time she gets genuinely angry with her friends, they were so taken aback that they say they prefer the nice and shy Karen.
• Brainy Brunette: Karen has brown hair and she's a Science Hero.
• Clothes Make the Superman: Her powers come from her armor.
• Cute Clumsy Girl: Has a habit of stumbling and spilling her books/equipment all over the place.
• David Versus Goliath: A running theme with Karen's situations is her meek and small nature being forced in handling larger problems, sometimes by herself.
• Deadly Dodging: One of her tactics when engaging in battle in her smaller form. This becomes most effective against Giganta, where Karen's able to ironically mock "Why are you hitting yourself?"
• Does Not Like Spam: She mentions in the Midterms tie-in graphic novel that she hates tuna. She also admits to Barbara in "#WorkingStiff" that she doesn't really like burritos.
• Dork in a Sweater: She's a shy, unassuming character in a black-and-yellow striped sweater.
• Duct Tape for Everything: Or electrical tape, in this case. She uses a lot of it to hold the parts of her prototype suit together, unintentionally making herself look something like a bee.
• Embarrassing Nick Name: Hal Jordan calls her "Karen Danvers" after Karen "allows" Kara to give her a makeover.
• Enemy Scan: Bumblebee's upgraded suit can analyze a target down to its molecular structure and crossrefernce its findings with databases Bumblebee herself isn't even curating. It can even zoom in to do so long range and take snapshots.
• "Eureka!" Moment: As Karen's "teammates" are becoming discouraged at Diana's inability to adapt to their society and Barbara begins to argue with Kara, Karen suddenly gets the idea to blow off steam at an Amusement Park, which not only leads to Diana making progress at appearing like a teenager, but even starts to ease the tension between Diana and Kara, who until then had been the coldest towards Diana.
• Expressive Hair: Her buns sag when she's sad or stressed.
• Facial Markings: She paints her face as Green Lantern's for Halloween
• Fangirl: Of the Twilight films parody, Just Before Dawn. All the girls watch them, but Karen's the most invested in the Love Triangle element.
• Fear Is the Appropriate Response: The only one in detention alarmed to discover three/four of her classmates have super powers to the point she attempts to flee at their demonstration. Bumblebee also choosing to cut and run from the Super Villain Girls is Played for Laughs but it's later shown that while she could stop their Evil Plan by herself Bumblebee would have been crushed for it, had her friends not shown up in the nick of time.
• Foreshadowing: #EnterNightSting sees Karen Beecher give The Reason You Suck speech to every single member of the team, including herself twice over. However, Karen stops and relaxes before she can really elaborate on what's wrong with Diana Prince, who Karen initially planned to save for last. As it turned out, Karen had a lot on Diana, having broken down what's wrong with her mathematically and charted it fifteen different ways. By the time of #TheMinus though the impending end of the world isn't stressing Karen out, so she's a lot kinder when she finally gets around to giving Diana her turn.
• Future Me Scares Me: Understandable when future Karen's masked, hooded, quickly dispatched three of past Karen's friends who tried to fight, two more who were merely standing their ground and proceeded to march towards past Karen while past Karen's equipment was in disrepair.
• Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak: Karen adores romcoms, Just Before Dawn, and boy bands, and is a huge romantic. However, she is also a skilled scientist who enjoys engineering and working with tech, even inventing her own gadgets and her suit.
• Growling Gut: A main source of conflict in "#TacoTuesday": her stomach constantly growls through the short and makes things difficult for her, such as getting her kicked out of the library for being too noisy, or exposing her hiding spot to Doris when she tries to steal the taco Karen's been trying to eat.
• Heart Is an Awesome Power: In "#SheMightBeGiant", she laments that her suit only shrinks her despite her efforts to make it do otherwise, but ends up discovering that shrinking is a great advantage against Giganta since she's too small, litterally fitting between the enlarged Giganta's fingers, and too quick for Giganta to get a hit on her.
• I Can't Dance: In a rare show of kindness, Kara Danvers tries to teach Karen Beecher how to dance. This results in Karen bumping into people and being carried off but Kara thinks Karen did a pretty good job.
• Locked into Strangeness: She gains her blonde skunk stripe after being electrocuted.
• Misguided Missile: Her first suit made use of solid matter projectiles, but they proved to be unreliable. Her second armor suit swaps these out for "electrical sting" arm cannons, though her shoulder cannons still fire solid missiles if the stingers are not enough.
• Mundane Solution: Bumblebee uses cornstarch to wick away moisture and reduce heat exhaustion in her armor.
• Nice Girl: She's among the nicest characters in the show.
• Odd Couple: Diana constantly pairs her up with the sullen and silent Hawkman despite their wildly contrasting personalities and the fact that Karen is visibly intimidated by Carter.
• Off the Chart: #TheMinus reveals Karen Beecher has a graph on what appears to be poster paper charting all of Diana Prince's activities. Karen then unfolds it in several directions until it starts overtaking most of the hideout's lobby and still has lines out of bounds. This convinces Diana she has a workaholic problem better than Antiope ever did. However, Diana takes it as a "to do" list that will make her more efficient.
• Overshadowed by Awesome: Night Sting taunts Karen Beecher about being helpless without the Bumblebee suit, while #Beeline, #Retreat and #TheMinus highlight how she struggles to keep up on foot, but #SheMightBeGiant, #CrashCourse and #Powerless show that Karen is still an active, fit and physically capable teenager. Jessica, Zee and especially Barbara are just more so.
• Power Glows: When she activates her suit and turns tiny, her body glows yellow.
• Power of the Sun: Bumblebee's second suit is solar powered.
• Pretender Diss: When Zee declares the most talented actor to ever grace Metropolis High will be playing Lady Katherine in #DramaQueen Karen gets confused because she thought Zee was playing Lady Katherine.
• Rise of Zitboy: #Abracadabrapalooza is ostensibly all about Zee Zatara trying and failing to get Karen Beecher to realize pimples are not that bad.
• Robot Master: Karen lives in a smart home where basic tasks are largely completed by autonomous machinery, both store-bought and of Karen's own design.
• The Runt at the End: The only one in the detention causing food fight that did not willingly participate in any way whatsoever, the only one who tries to flee detention at the sight that the others have super powers, the only one with no confidence in her abilities, the only one without a finished outfit, and the shortest.
• Science Hero: Uses her extensive knowledge of science to build a suit that allows her to fly and shrink. While she doesn't have as many projects as Barbara Gordon, Karen Beecher proves to have the most scientific knowledge of anyone on the team. However, Karen also has the lowest athleticism and worst cardio, she can't get as much done without her tech as Barbara can.
• Shipper on Deck: She goes googly-eyed at the story of Carter and Shiera's Reincarnation Romance and desperately wants them to get together in this life, to the point that she overcomes her usual fear of Carter and basically forces him to pursue her. She is devastated when Carter decides in the end to avoid meeting with Shiera to break the cycle of their romance ending with both of them getting killed by Hath-Set.
• Shoulder Cannon: One of her super suit's many accessories.
• Stuffed into a Locker: Kara Danvers, distracted by her headphones, punches Bumblebee through the vents of a locker after mistaking her for a literal bumblebee, destroying Karen Beecher's suit in the process. Barbara Gordon accuses her of squishing Karen and they're relieved to find a merely shaken Karen stuck in Kara's locker. Doris Zeul intentionally tries to shove Karen into a locker but Karen elects to do it herself to deny Doris the satisfaction (it doesn't work).
• Shrinking Violet: She's a shy, insecure character. Even more, shrinking is precisely her power.
• The Smart Girl: She's a scientific genius who invented her suit and gear. She also wins a state robotics meet.
• Still Sucks Thumb: Does this in her nightmare.
• Teen Genius: She created her superhero suit and powers, and the yearbook lists her as "Most Likely to Graduate Early".
• This Is Reality: Karen Beecher tries to disuade Zee Zatara's match making in #OneEnchantedEvening by telling Zee they are not in a movie.
• Transformation Trinket: She uses a necklace with a honeycomb-shaped pendant to transform into her armor.
• Unwitting Pawn: She's framed for starting a food fight by Barbara Gordon and thrown into detention for it so Barbara can examine Karen's equipment.
• What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: She initially believed that there's no benefit to being small. It wasn't until her fight with Giganta in "#SheMightBeGiant" that she starts seeing the benefits.

Green Lantern (Jessica Cruz)

"Fighting is never the answer!"

Voiced By: Myrna Velasco, Mireya Mendoza (Latin American Spanish), Ayaka Fukuhara (Japanese)

The newest recipient of a Green Lantern Ring, Jessica is a nature lover who aims to protect. Oh, and she's also a pacifist, so she always finds another way to battle as Green Lantern.

---

• Adaptation Personality Change: She was neither a pacifist nor a Granola Girl in the source material. This likely has to do with the Stealth Pun of her being a Green Lantern.
• Adaptational Angst Downgrade: Due to her darker roots in the comics (particularly becoming a shut-in for a while due to being traumatized from seeing her friends get killed by a pair of criminals they caught burying a dead body), Jessica here is made to have become better adjusted by the time of the show. "#LivingTheNightmare" is the only time anything like the comics' Jessica's angsts are shown.
• Adaptational Early Appearance: Relative to her Shea Fontana counterpart, she is among the main heroines from the beginning when her previous incarnation didn't show up until the fourth season.
• All-Loving Hero: Because she’s a pacifist, she at least tries to turn them on the side of good. Plus, she is willing to be friends with anyone who doesn’t have any, Pam for example.
• Animal Lover: The biggest animal lover on the team. She refuses to engage in the use of any animal products, volunteers at shelters to get pets adopted, and advocates for wild species, including those that are harmful to humanity.
• Arbitrary Skepticism: #Retreat reveals that Jessica Cruz does not believe in zombies or witches. While it is plausible she never learned about Zee Zatara animating a presumably deceased octopus, she should know Zee is a witch in every way that's relevant to the topic at hand.
• Badass Pacifist: Despite wielding the most powerful weapon in the universe, she refuses to use it for violence, and would rather talk her opponent down than throw a single punch. Dope Slapping Hal Jordan for being an idiot is fine, though.
• Blow You Away: Green Lantern creates a green twister to bring The Tween Titans together...so she can put them to bed.
• By the Power of Grayskull!: The Green Lantern oath seems to be mainly used like this in the show, instead of recited when recharging the rings. Except for the times when she zaps into uniform without saying it, but you're not supposed to be taking this show seriously, to begin with.
• Comically Missing the Point: Karen Beecher is intimidated by the idea of baby sitting five kids at once and awestruck at the size of Wayne Manor. Jessica Cruz assumes Karen's reactions are to Jessica's five star review on "Metropolis Sits".
• Cracking Up: #RageCat sees Jessica Cruz pop her neck after giving a not so Rousing Speech at an animal shelter.
• Create Your Own Villain: Her attempts to give Dexter a home when he really just wanted to be left alone are what draws the Red Lantern ring to him in the first place.
• Deadpan Snarker: As seen here when hanging out with Hal Jordan.
  Jessica: Oh, Hal, must you be so wrong about so many things?
• Deflector Shields: Jessica Cruz has a wide variety of them, from giant bucklers to brickwalls, to trampolines, to carrier crates.
• The Determinator
  • Refuses to fight, even when Wonder Woman is yelling at her in the Training Montage.
  • In the short "#VeggieBurritoBucket", while filling in for a sick Babs' shift, she steadfastly refuses to serve meat to the customers, no matter how much they complain about her vegetarian substitutions, or how much Barbara's supervisor yells at her. When he tells her the meat is actually imitation meat (real meat being too expensive for them), she quickly and enthusiastically changes her tune.
• Dope Slap: She punches Hal several times for his insensitivity in "#HateTriangle" after he breaks up with Carol via text message.
• Dude, Not Funny!: Jessica almost calls it out by name as Kara laughs and makes several puns about the vandalism done to the school dance promotions and decorations during #MeetTheCheetah. #SoulSisters sees Jessica take issue with Kara inflicting Makeover Torment on the villains who had their souls taken.
• Energy Bow: Creates one, with her ring, to stop Star Sapphire's heart barrage.
• Facial Markings: When she powers up, the emblem of the Green Lantern Corps frames her right eye.
• The Fettered: Lauren Faust has said she made her a pacifist because the Green Lantern Ring made her too powerful.
• Flat-Earth Atheist: "#Retreat" reveals that she doesn't believe in witches or zombies, despite her teammate Zatanna being a sorceress and the undead brute Solomon Grundy later showing up as a villain.
• Friendly Enemy: Jessica Cruz doesn't let friendship stop her from regularly protesting at the restaraunt Barbara Gordon works for in an attempt to get them to stop serving meat, or protesting all the shows the Zataras put on for using live animals.
• Friend to All Living Things: She loves volunteering at the animal shelter and adopts a stray cat named Dexter, even after it briefly turns into a Red Lantern and fights her in the pet store.
• Fun with Acronyms: Jessica Cruz runs an anger management program called "Getting To The H.E.A.R.T."(Healing Emotional Anger Requires Training)
• Granola Girl: She's a big activist, especially concerning environmental matters. She was voted "Most Environmentally Conscious" in the yearbook. She is a Green Lantern, after all.
• HA HA HA—No / Rapid-Fire "No!": Her reaction to Star Sapphire assuming that she and Hal are together. Stretched out for a full ten seconds.
• Happily Adopted: Jessica seems to get on much better with her moms than Kara does with her parents anyway.
• Hartman Hips: Her hips are noticeably wider than her bust or waistline. It's more obvious when she's in her Green Lantern costume than as a civilian, though.
• The Heart: She’s a pacifist who tries to resolve problems without resorting to violence. That includes between teammates, such as when Kara's attempts to bring Diana out of her crush get alittle too percussive for Jessica's liking.
• Heroic BSoD: Has a big one in "#VeggieBurritoBucket" when working in a restaurant full of meat and required to touch and serve it. Learning that there's actually no meat whatsoever in the place, she immediately perks up.
• Hidden Depths: Turns out she once had some severe agoraphobia and self-loathing anger issues in the past, as she admits to Supergirl at one point.
• Honor Before Reason: She prefers to trust in the system when put on tribunal by the Guardians. In fairness, had she simply explained her actions concisely rather than producing a several hundred page report (which no-one reads), and had Hal not decided to "help", she'd have been fine.
• Horrible Judge of Character: In "#RageCat", she is adamant that Dexter isn't a bad cat and just needs to be adopted by the right owner to redeem himself, completely ignoring all the signs that Dexter relishes causing harm and destruction. Even when Dexter becomes the Red Lantern Dex-Starr after obtaining a Red Lantern ring and tells Jessica to her face that he intends to harm her, this doesn't deter her from seeing the goodness in Dexter that just isn't there.
• Irony: Hypnotizing Supergirl to be less violent doesn't actually solve her impulsiveness or two dimensional thinking. It makes them worse to the point Green Lantern has to become more aggressive to save her.
• Knows the Ropes: Lassos are among the tools she generates when trying to subdue combative targets, much to Wonder Woman's approval.
• Lighter and Softer: Played with. She had already undergone her Dark and Troubled Past and overcome with her struggles with it according to Word of Godinvoked, so her story in the show will be about her moving forward with her life.
• Mellow Fellow: While she is the most stubborn of the team, she is surprisingly easygoing and chill, heck, she’s even affectionate to others be they old friends or new ones.
• My God, What Have I Done?: "#MisgivingTree" has Jessica trying to save human workers from Poison Ivy's rage when Jessica deflects a bulldozer Ivy throws at her and the workers. Instead of into somewhere safe, it hits an ancient tree that civilians Pam Isley and Jessica Cruz had chained themselves to. The tree is split open. When Jessica tells Ivy those workers could have been killed by Ivy, a grieving Ivy counters that Jessica HAD killed the tree. Jessica is aghast at realizing this, and Ivy believes with THAT killing act, "You are UNWORTHY of the color of Life, Green Lantern! And one of these days, you will pay."
• Nice Girl: If Jess had any more compassion, she'd be an INDIGO Lantern. But ether way, she is still the most compassionate, and affectionate of the crew.
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Jessica was making progress on Pamela Isley. Pam's potted plant Phil even liked Jessica and wanted Pam to give her a chance despite Pamela dubbing Jessica irredeemable for eating plants. But then Jessica brought Kara Danvers to one of her H.E.A.R.T. meetings and a totally unreceptive Kara taught Pamela to embrace her anger, even suggesting it would be okay so long as no one knew about it. Considering Pamela is secretly Poison Ivy, and is more prone to going full Poison Ivy when angry, Jessica unintentionally sabotaged her own till then working effort to reform one of the super villains trying to kill her, her team, and ultimatetly every last human being on Earth.
• No Good Deed Goes Un Punished
  • She's thrown in detention for defending Karen Beecher from Kara Danvers, Zee Zatara and Barbara Gordon. Kara Danvers attacks her a second time for trying to breakup Kara's fight with Princess Diana.
  • Jessica's misguided attempts to raise Pam Isley's spritis lead to the raising of a zombie army.
  • Trying to be a responsible citizen and carpool leads to her mothers' van getting wrecked
  • Refusing to let Wonder Woman live in a tree leads to Jessica's house getting wrecked
  • She's assaulted by a cat with a deadly alien weapon for trying to prevent said cat from being put down.
  • Trying to help Kara Danvers with Kara's anger problems leads to Supergirl and Green Lantern being swallowed and nearly digested.
• No Sense of Personal Space: Specifically with Pam Isley. Jess keeps embracing her at every opportunity and Pam is silently irritated each time. But as she never speaks up about it, Jess never gets the hint.
• Not So Above It All:
  • She's rather smug about choosing a nonviolent solution in the Training Montage.
  • She's also every bit as willing to beat up Steve Trevor as the others.
  • Jessica Cruz is sympathetic to Barbara Gordon's issues with her dad, but that doesn't stop Jessica from laughing when he does something to embarrass Barbara.
• Platonic Life-Partners: She and Hal Jordan work closely together as Lanterns, but there's else nothing between them.
• Power Dyes Your Hair: Jessica has two neon green ones in her long brown hair. These appear when she's powered up and are otherwise a lighter shade of brown.
• Power Glows: Her whole body glows a faint green when she powers up, including her eyes (normally brown).
• Pulling the Rug Out: Her non-violent method of beating Kilowog in a sparring match.
• Punched Across the Room: Green Lantern forms a helmet and suit of plate mail around herself when under assault by amazons. She gets knocked out of it and off screen.
• Pyrrhic Victory: "#MisgivingTree" has Green Lantern accidentally killing an ancient tree her civilian self tried to save. Why? To save the "innocent lives" of those humans wanting to cut it down in the first place.
• Refusal of the Call: In her first appearance, she's seen trying to give the power ring back to Hal who refuses to take it. Naturally she's not keen to follow Barbara Gordon's call either.
• Skewed Priorities: #TweenTitans sees Jessica Cruz apologize to Karen Beecher for what seems to be their impending death and or torture, laments that the Tweens are probably going to get themselves killed, and concludes that the worst part is that she will lose her five star rating on "Metropolis Sits".
• Secret-Keeper: Being a Green Lantern, she knows Hal Jordan is one too.
• Sigil Spam: In addition to the Green Lantern Corps symbol on her face and uniform, the hem of her dress displays a ring of them while she's in her civilian identity.
• Soapbox Sadie: She’s prone to trying to fix others' problems whether they like it or not, which does tend to lead to more problems than solutions.
• Stealth Pun: Along with being in the Green Lantern Corps, her Granola Girl tendencies make her very, very green.
• Still Sucks Thumb: Relapses into this when she's having a nightmare.
• Suspiciously Similar Substitute: For Poison Ivy from the original web series.
• Sympathy for the Devil: In Star Sapphire’s first appearance, Jessica is clearly on her side once she learns Hal dumped her via text, although she does still feel obligated to prevent Carol from killing him. This disappears in their future interactions as Carol becomes convinced that Jessica is trying to steal Hal away, much to her disgust.
• Take a Third Option: Being a pacifist, she tends to find a different solution to combat without physically fighting.
  Jessica: I just believe that when it comes to fighting, there's always another way.
  • Rather than destroy the construction equipment about to "kill" the mannequins she's supposed to protect during her training, she encases them in a safe and moves it well out of range. This backfires when the "monster" attacks her teammates instead.
  • In "#RageCat", she can't get any of her friends to adopt Dexter because he's a jerk, but doesn't want the animal shelter to put him down. Since neither of those options works for her, she decides to adopt him herself (to his annoyance).
  • In "#TheGreenRoom", she uses her ring to translate an alien's screams as a warning about a bomb hidden in Metropolis. She stops Supergirl from attacking in order to buy enough time for the alien to find and remove it.
• Team Mom: She's incredibly nurturing towards her friends and tries to help them in the best way she can. In "#TheSlowAndTheFurious", she reprimands Zee, Kara, and Diana for fighting over a radio station in her van like a mother would with her rowdy kids.
• Technical Pacifist
  • She doesn't like fighting, and when she does have to deal with enemies she focuses on either defending herself and her teammates or on disarming the enemy or other non-violent methods. That said, she's not above hitting Hal Jordan when she thinks he's being difficult.
  • She also justifies violence against Plant Mooks by her being vegan. She's also forced to blast a hole in a protozoa to save an overeager Supergirl.
• Transformation Trinket: Alongside all the other things her Green Lantern ring can do, it also lets her transform into her superhero outfit. Jessica has two transformation sequences. One for The Super Hero Girls and another for The Green Lantern Corps that she shares with Hal Jordan.
• Violently Protective Girlfriend: Played for laughs in "#HateTriangle", when Carol/Star Sapphire starts attacking Hal at Metropolis High, Jess is initially reluctant to fight Carol, until her shield is broken and the fight becomes inevitable, she reaches out to Carol with her energy fists... and gives her a consoling hug, telling her that Hal doesn't love her and she could do so much better, by learning to love herself. This is only a temporary reprieve, as self love only makes Star Sapphire more powerful still and she vows to return and make Hal good enough for her.
• Virtuous Vegetarianism: Jessica Cruz only eats plant and fungal matter, while encouraging other people to follow her example and help minimize their impact on the biosphere.
• What the Hell, Hero?:
  • Gives this to Hal in "#HateTriangle" when Carol admits she was Dumped via Text Message by Hal.
  • And gets it from Poison Ivy in "#MisgivingTree" when she accidentally kills a 300-year-old tree that their civilian selves have been fighting to save.

Zatanna (Zee Zatara)

^{Click here to see her stage outfit}

"You can call me, the mysterious, the fabulous, the awe-inspiring... Zatanna!"

Voiced By: Kari Wahlgren, Melissa Gedeón (Latin American Spanish), Azuki Shibuya (Japanese)

A stage magician by trade, Zee aspires to be an "artiste" and follow in her father's footsteps. As Zatanna, she can do real magic... and she loves to show it off too.

---

• Adaptation Dye-Job: Zatanna's black hair is now dark purple. It becomes a sparkling, glowing purple that transitions from a slightly lighter shade to a much lighter one when using her powers.
• Adaptational Curves: Doesn't have her comic counterpart's Heroic Build.
• Adaptational Modesty: No fishnets this time around. Sorry, Paul Dini.
• Adaptation Name Change: In most continuities, Zatanna's codename is her real name, Zatanna Zatara. Here, Zatanna is her codename and her real name is Zee Zatara, "Zee" usually a notable nickname.
• Adaptation Personality Change: She's more of an egotistical showboat similar to Trixie or Rarity than how she is in most incarnations.
• Alliterative Name: Zee Zatara. Oliver takes the time to mock it in "#ScrambledEggs" while the two were paired for an Egg Sitting assignment.
• Ambiguously Bi: Zee, like Diana, fell madly in love with a boy; in this case, Aquaman. However, in "#MultipliciZee" two of her clones were drinking ice cream from the same glass while staring at each other as if they were girlfriends while Barry looked at them somewhat puzzled. Also in "#SweetJustice", when she met Wonder Woman for the first time, she was struck by her beauty. Even in the movie Teen Titans Go! & DC Super Hero Girls: Mayhem in the Multiverse she felt awkward when Starfire from Teen Titans Go! fixedly stared at the Super Hero Girls with much glee.
• AM/FM Characterization: Zee has a preference for jazz music, which suits her sophisticated and theatrical sensibilities.
• Animal Motifs: She has a rabbit theme going on, in reference to the classic Pull a Rabbit out of My Hat trick. She owns two magical rabbits, her phone case has a rabbit on it, and when she first developed her powers, rabbits would randomly appear.
• Asleep in Class: How Zee ends up in #AbraKachoo as her illness drains away her stamina. During a lesson on viruses no less.
• Awesome, but Impractical: Her most impressive display of power in the premiere is used to flip the off switch on a trash compactor (and still took too long to actually save the practice mannequins). Wonder Woman explicitly calls her out on it, saying that her powers are impressive, but that she uses them in a way that lacks purpose.
• Badass Cape: She incorporates a cape into her costume after Barbara recommends it.
• Berserk Button: Adding to the Green-Eyed Monster entry below, she does not take well to people not paying attention to her magic.
• A Birthday, Not a Break: In "#HappyBirthdayZee", it’s revealed that on her fifth birthday, her mother abandoned her and her father.
• Birthday Episode: "#HappyBirthdayZee" centers around her birthday. It isn't stated how old she's turned, and the number of candles on her cake is nine in spite of her being a teenager, meaning there's too few candles to reliably indicate her age.
• Bizarre Taste in Food: She prefers lots of pepper on her snacks (popcorn, nachos, etc.), to the point that no one else can eat them without suffering from profusely watery eyes.
• Bound and Gagged: Zatanna's support is crucial to surviving Ember's assault, so naturally Zee is taken prisoner, silenced and immobilized before the fight even starts.
• Bunnies for Cuteness: She has two bunnies that she uses for her magic shows (warning: Explosive Breeders who like each other a lot). Her phone case also has a bunny on it.
• Call-Back: The Spam Attack that backfires in #MeetTheCheetah towards the start of the first season works as intended against Killer Moth in "#BreakingNews" towards the end of the season.
• Captain Ersatz: A downplayed example. Purple hair, magic powers, ego, fashion, and prissiness in a show made by Lauren Faust? Characters like that are a Rarity, to be sure. But you'd be forgiven for making the connection.
• Character Tics: Zee happily, habitually, obssessively files her nails to the point a stinging insect flying around her head can't make Zee look away from her hands. Even when Zee is scared and alert she's still prone to filing her nails as she looks around for possible danger.
• Color Motif: Her design incorporates various shades of purple into it, and her magic aura also appears purple.
• Combat Stilettos: She's the only one in the group who always wears high heels. Lampshaded when Barbara tries to wear them, but falls over with a crashing sound.
• Complaining About Rescues They Don't Like: Zee is repulsed when Green Arrow saves her from being impaled by Cavalier in #DramaQueen.
• Composite Character: The smug attitude of this Zatanna may be borrowed from mainstream Zatanna's younger cousin, Zachary Zatara.
• Costume Evolution: She initially wears the classic Zatanna look (which is also her stage outfit), but Wonder Woman tells her to change it. Her current costume is inspired by her Bronze Age Justice League of America appearance.
• Daddy's Girl: Became very close to her father after her mother left the family on her fifth birthday.
• Deflector Shields: One of her more common spells is surrounding herself with a sphere to ward off danger.
• Dissonant Serenity: In the first episode, Zee winds up with her future teammates in detention, Zee files her nails and applies makeup while Diana and Kara engage in a wall-wrecking brawl.
• Doppelgänger Spin: Zatanna can project her image to distant places using a "mirage" spell. In combat she can spam it to the point more than one mirage is visible at once and none are near where she really is. She can also produce duplicative illusions around an object to confound thieves.
• Even the Girls Want Her: Casey Krinsky is CRAZY about her...until we find out the truth.
• Everyone Has Standards: She has a large ego but takes her future passion very seriously. In particular, when it comes to the theater, she will not stand for goofing around and/or sabotaging the competition.
• Evil Laugh: She bellows one out after flustering Oliver Queen about an upcoming show of hers happening at the same time as his own.
• The Fashionista: The most fashion-focused girl in the group. Aside from having the most outfits out of any of the girls, she's also the one they go to for ideas, such as Diana in "#SweetJustice" and Kara in "#PowerSurge". In her profile video, Batgirl even describes her as "stylish", and the school yearbook lists her as "Most Likely to Become An Actress."
• Faux Horrific: Zee Zatara is completely right to be worried about Casey Krinsky. Unfortunately when Zee tries to explain her anxiety to her other friends Zee only describes the ways Casey is helpful, so no one takes her seriously until it is too late.
• Friendly Enemy: Zee Zatara is a friend of Jessica Cruz first and foremost, to the point she offers to help get Jessica a cab to a show of Zee's that Jessica intends to protest in front of for using animals.
• "Freaky Friday" Flip: She casts a spell meant to smooth out a misunderstanding between Barbara Gordon and her father. What she actually does is perform a series of random mindswaps between Barbara and various residents of Metropolis. Luckily for Barbara her voice is retained so Zee can keep finding where she ends up.
• Girls With Mustaches: When Karen Beecher grows a zit and asks Zee Zatara for help, Zee insists it is simply a part of puberty Karen has to deal with and Zee tells Karen about how Zee started growing a beard during puberty, among other unwanted by temporary changes.
• Green-Eyed Monster: And how! Towards other performers stealing the spotlight from her.
• Hair Flip: Has done this a couple of times in both civilian and hero form to showcase her status as a popular girl.
• Hidden Depths: In spite of her insistence that she has no insecurities, Zee has some deeply buried fears of abandonment and not being good enough that trace back to how her mother left and never came back. Zee also has fears of exactly what kind of damage she could be doing with her magic that have been suppressed by someone other than Zee herself.
• How Do I Shot Web?: By the first episdoe Zee's already a powerful sorceress, but she still has a lot of work ahead of her.
• I Believe I Can Fly: She can make herself and other things airbourne so casually Zee didn't even notice she could at first.
• Impossible Hourglass Figure: Has very pronounced curves for someone who's technically just a teenager.
• Improvised Armor: Zee Zatara buries herself in pans and pillows when she sees Jessica Cruz testing her hypnosis of Kara Danvers by intentionally doing all she can to irritate Kara in #AngerManagement.
• It's All About Me: Gets this attitude regarding her birthday every year, and expects the rest of the girls to play along.
• Jerkass Has a Point: A downplayed example. Zatanna isn't a straight example of Jerk with a Heart of Gold, but more of a Ms. Vice Girl. Even so, she still makes some insightful points —
  • During the girls' first disastrous attempt as a team, Zatanna makes a sharp (but accurate) note that all Bumblebee did during the fight was hide.
  • Her anger at Kara for not following her strict rules for her magical rabbits is valid, given that Kara ignored her warning about keeping them apart and thus allowed them to multiply into a citywide swarm.
  • Taking away Oliver's part as the male lead in her play in "#DramaQueen" might have been a little harsh, but it wasn't exactly uncalled for—after all, Oliver did quite openly (and rather boastfully) admit to sabotaging someone else's chance at the role.
  • She points out to Jess in "#AngerManagement" that she shouldn't try to force herself onto Kara's anger issues, saying that her anger is something she has to choose to deal with herself. She also warns her out that hypnotizing Kara to deal with said issues isn't a good idea, proven when her suggestion prevents her from taking the problem at hand seriously.
• Large Ham: She has a rather large ego thanks to her background as a performer.
• Lovable Alpha Bitch: She's pretty, vain, and rather full of herself, but still a good person overall.
• Magic Wand: Zee Zatara does not need a wand to cast genuine spells, but it is made clear that there are some spells she cannot pull off without it. At one point her attempt to transfigure a dead octopos into a hamburger for Supergirl went wrong because she accidentally used a pair of chopsticks sitting right next to her wand.
• Magical Incantation: She casts spells by reciting the words backward.
• Magicians Are Wizards: True to the origins of the character, she's a stage magician by trade but comes from a Human Subspecies with actual magical powers. In this version, she was her father's non-powered magical assistant first, discovering her powers (and becoming privy to his) as she grew up.
• Mark of the Supernatural: She is from a Human Sub Species of magical beings. To go with this, she has abnormal purple eyes. They glow when she recites her longer incantations.
• Missing Mom: Zee was raised exclusively by her father, and she doesn't mind at all. #HappyBirthdayZee reveals in a flashback that her mom left her and her dad on her fifth birthday.
• Ms. Fanservice: Zee's civilian clothes include a very short skirt that covers less than half of her thighs and shows off her curves, making her look visually provocative.
• Ms. Vice Girl: As stated before, she has a large ego, can be very demanding, is often harshly critical and loves showing off, but she's still a nice girl.
• Mundane Utility: She frequently uses her magic for things like housecleaning.
• Neat Freak: She impulsively cleans up Kara's bedroom when dropping off her rabbits, and is determined to show up for school picture day with an immaculate appearance.
• Phoneaholic Teenager: She likes to use her phone a lot, mainly for selfies.
• Power Incontinence
  • When Zee's magic first manifested in flashbacks she hardly noticed at first and she couldn't make it do anything on command when she did, much less turn it on or off. Sometimes it would help her regardless or cause incidental changes to the world around her. Other times her own magic would actively attack her and her father. By the time of the first episode Zee's magic only happens when she wants it too and she has a few regularly used spells she can consistently pull off without issue. When Zee gets experiemental however, things tend to go wrong.
  • Her basic power incontence comes back with a vengeance when Zee gets a head cold. Fortunately the older Zee is able to correct the problems it causes on her own, once she admits she is sick and it is causing problems.
• Precocious Crush: She becomes smitten whenever Aquaman shows up.
• Properly Paranoid
  • She is correct in that no one should have the Book of Eternity, not even a "benevolent philanthropist" like Lex Luthor.
  • Zee's the only one on the team who finds Casey Krinsky's constant efforts to make their lives better in general and make Zee Zatara happy in particular creepy rather than endearing. While Zee bungled her attempts to talk Casey down and establish boundaries she was more right to try than she imagined.
• Puberty Superpower: She started to develop magic powers without any warning during her childhood and couldn't control them at first. Her father was happy to find out about this, because he'd been worried that she might never have magic as he did.
• Really Moves Around: She and her father lived with their act on the road before they were successful enough to have somewhere in Metropolis to perform at regularly.
• "The Reason You Suck" Speech: How she defeats Casey in “#AllAboutZee”.
  Casey: Smoke and mirrors, Princess of Prestidigitation? I expected better from you. Come out here and fight! I’m sick of seeing my pathetic little face! I mean your face! I mean… (screams in frustration)
  Zee: What’s the matter, Casey? Don’t like what you see?
  Casey: No! Nobody does!
  Zee: You’re wrong! I liked you! At first. So did my friends! It was the evil plot to change who you are that mucked it all up.
  Casey: Stop it! Quit it!
  Zee: You could have had the friendship and acceptance you wanted, if you had only accepted yourself.
• Rags to Riches: During her earlier youth, she and her father were a traveling magic show that didn't make a lot of money and they lived in an RV. However, after one amazing performance, they got a worldwide tour, her father became an entertainer in a popular casino, and they moved into a penthouse suite in the attached hotel.
• Rubber Man: Before Zee knew anything about controlling her magic she once involuntarily punched her father with an involuntarily stretched arm. Likely a reference to Giovanni's own comics where he foiled a murder attempt by catching a knife wielding man in a similar fashion.
• Serious Business: Zee Zatara is usually a sweet if smug girl, but disrupt her performance and she can get mean really quickly. She curses another stage magician solely for getting more attention than her with simpler slight of hand tricks than her own, she warps gravity on a group of children for finding a Nintendo Switch more interesting than her birthday show, threatens to banish Garth to the 27th dimension for forcing her to fall back on Steve Trevor during her production of Romeo and Julliette and she makes Mortimer Drake, who she otherwise finds charming, into the understudy of her arch rival Oliver Queen because Mortimer recited the lyrics to "Up Past Eight" on her stage.
• Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Zee coerces Karen Beecher into being her spokeswoman, and gives Karen cue cards with words Karen can't pronounce.
• Shameless Self-Promoter: When she's cleaning Kara's room she turns one of Kara's Heavy Metal posters into one of the advertisements for her shows. In "#AdBlockers", she spends so much time putting up ads for one of her shows (and competing against Oliver for advertising his own show) that she forgets to actually put it on.
• Shipper on Deck: In "#OneEnchantedEvening", she becomes fixated on having her father Giovanni Zatara and June Moon go steady.
• Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: With Oliver Queen. Expect the two of them to trip the other up every time they're on screen together.
• Small Name, Big Ego: She makes a huge deal about her "first solo production", which turns out to be a children's birthday party.
• Smug Super: Oh so much, especially in "#SweetJustice". She puts a lot of pizzazz into simple spells and conjures up applauding hands when she accomplishes something.
• Snipe Hunt: Zee sends Casey Krinsky off to reheel a pair of Camilla Gabrieli Stellas for Zee, so Zee can finally have some privacy.
• Spoiled Sweet: As the daughter of a wealthy celebrity, Zee is accustomed to a lavish lifestyle. While she can be a snob when it comes to topics like fashion, cuisine, and the arts, she's still a nice girl who wants to do good as a superhero. Zee also likes to take her friends to high end places they normally would not be able to enjoy. Zee does tend to strong arm Karen Beecher into doing favors for her, but she also tries to mentor Karen through life's problems.
• Squishy Wizard: Her spells can easily subdue some of the most powerful fighters the show has to offer, like Wonder Woman and Supergirl, but Zatanna can't take nearly as much from anyone else. She's also the second least athletic person on the team after Bumblebee, but that might be due to her insistence on wearing heels, as Supergirl and Barbara Gordon end up falling when walking in heels, Barbara in Zee's heels specifically.
• Stage Magician: Zee Zatara is a talented stage magician whose tricks look like genuine magic. She can also do genuine magic, but her arsenal of spells she can reliably pull off is smaller than her convincing stage tricks.
• Summon Magic: She can call for rabbits that will attack foes and obstacles in her path with Eye Beams.
• Suspiciously Similar Substitute: For Harley Quinn from the original web series.
• Thinking Up Portals: Zatanna can open up gateways to remote places with nothing but camera feed for reference...while looking at the wrong end of the camera. She can even send people to other dimensions with the right material.
• Truer to the Text: In relation to her age when she first became a superhero, this version is a teenager when Bruce is already an adult as Batman, instead of around the same age as him as in the DC Animated Universe and onwards.
• Unwitting Pawn: Zatanna's response to Cheetah racing around her in the dark is to launch as projectiles as she can at any sign of movement. At this Cheetah leaves Zatanna alone. Not because Cheetah couldn't take Zatanna, but because she can goad the impulsive Supergirl into chasing her right to Zantanna's location, leading to Friendly Fire.
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom: #OneEnchantedEvening involves Zee Zatara trying to raise her father's spirits by setting him up on a date with her art teacher, June Moone, unaware of the fact that June is possessed by the malicious Enchantress and that her actions are giving Enchantress an explicit advantage over Giovanni.
• Vain Sorceress: Downplayed: Zee Zatara uses mundane makeup and gets her hair styled at a pricey but conventional salon. In the event something ruins her cosmetics, however, she isn't above using magic to put things back in order.
• Vanity Is Feminine: Not only is Zatanna the most feminine member of her team (appearance-conscious, long haired, magical), she also tends to be the most self-involved and boastful.
• Villain Has a Point: Played for Laughs: While Zee swallows her pride to save Diana's life, Zee is in total agreement with her captor, Ember, about Diana being a shoddy princess.
• Waistcoat of Style: She wears one as part of her civilian outfit, accented by a ribbon tie.

Batgirl (Barbara Gordon)

"Superawesome superheroness... here we come!"

Voiced By: Tara Strong, Analiz Sánchez (Latin American Spanish), Eri Kitamura (Japanese)

Daughter of Gotham's Commissioner Gordon and Batman's biggest fan, Barbara moved to Metropolis in the middle of the school year. As Batgirl, she uses an extensive collection of gadgetry, inspired by the Caped Crusader.

---

• Actor Allusion: There are way too many similarities between Batgirl and Twilight Sparkle, other than their voice actor.
  • More so considering Tara was considered for the role of Pinkie Pie as well.
• Adaptation Dye-Job:
  • Batgirl's costume has changed from its contemporary dark blue design to classic purple.
  • Her eyes are green instead of their more common blue.
• Adaptation Personality Change: Usually a more sensible and serious type, Barbara in this incarnation is a goofy Genki Girl.
• Affectionate Nickname: "Babsy-Wabsy" and "Babbly-Boo" (used by Harleen Quinzel).
• Animal-Eared Headband: She wears a bat-eared hoodie in her civilian identity.
• Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: With her boundless energy comes a tendency to get easily distracted.
• Badass Normal: She’s a normal human with no superpowers, but she makes up for it with gear and skill.
• Bat Deduction: Wouldn't be a bat if she didn't have one of these. Namely, managing to work out Cheetah's entire motivation and backstory from a five second glimpse of her handiwork. And this before she even saw her.
• Batman Gambit: When she suspects that the other girls are supers, she starts a food fight to get them all detention and have the chance to talk with them.
• Big Brother Is Watching You: When they're trying to track down Diana, she casually informs the other Super Hero Girls that she's hacked their phones for that purpose.
• Birds of a Feather: Ignoring which parts of the moral spectrum they fall on, it's no surprise this particularly hyperactive and zany version of Barbara Gordon is best friends with Harleen Quinzel right off the bat but has to work on getting in the good graces of Karen Beecher, Jessica Cruz, Kara Danvers and Zee Zatara. Given Batgirl's open desire to prove herself to Batman, it's also not surprising she makes quick friends with Wonder Woman, who secretly wants to prove herself to Hippolyta.
• Brief Accent Imitation: #TheMinus involves Barbara Gordon imitating Diana Prince's, describing it as adorable.
• Buffy Speak: Barbara Gordon is a tech genius but Karen Beecher is on such another level Barbara is reduced to describing components of Karen's equipment as "thingies" even after they're explained to her while giving Karen assistance.
• Burger Fool: Has a part-time job at the Burrito Bucket, a local fast food joint. Unlike most cases, Babs loves the job and the only real drawback is a Mean Boss who constantly gets fed up with her laziness and slacking off.
• Call to Adventure: Barbara plays a crucial step in Jessica Cruz, Karen Beecher and Zee Zatara becoming Green Lantern, Bumblebee and Zatana. Kara Danvers was already Supergirl and doing a pretty poor job of hiding it...if not for the fact no one knew "Supergirl" was even a thing, while "The Wonder Woman" was already Shrouded in Myth.
• Clark Kenting: The fact she's always wearing a hoodie with pointy bat ears and the same color as Batgirl's cowl never sets off any alarms somehow.
• Class Clown: According to the yearbook.
• Cloudcuckoolander: Karen Beecher, a fellow scientific genius, Jessica Cruz, who has seen alien worlds, Kara Danvers, who is from an alien world, and Zee Zatara, who can literally do magic, all think Barbara Gordon is weird and off her rocker. Based on how often she's right Gordon might understand their world better than Beecher, Cruz, Danverse and Zatara, but Barbara nonetheless has an over active imagination and a deep well of enthusiasm for things they find strange.
• Cool Bike: She owns an impressive Bat-themed moped with inflatable wheels, rocket boosters, and a parachute.
• Complexity Addiction: "#FaultyPowers" has her using up all three of her "rejected" gadgets to save one person. And the foam grenade on its own would have been perfect for it.
• Composite Character: She's Barbara Gordon with a more Stephanie Brown-type personality.
• Conditioned to Accept Horror: Gotham City is a garbage-strewn, murderous Wretched Hive, but for Barbara, it's home. When she and Harley are granted the rare chance to return, they celebrate by striking poses in chalk outlines.
• Creepy Good: She forces hacks her way into teammate's electronics, she bugs her team-mates' phones, she has a survelliance network in the hideout, she reminisces happily about Gotham, and is cheerful off-hand about knowing how to dispose of bodies. All in the same energetic and enthusiastic manner that she uses for everything else. This occasionally disturbs her team-mates.
  Kara: Babs, for once can you not be creepy?
• Deus Exit Machina: #AllyCat sticks Barbara Gordon on a visit to her grandparents so she can't direct the team's heist of Lex Corp.
• Embarrassing Nickname: Babs' dad called her "Pumpkin Pants," seemingly after the "Princess Pumpkin Pants" show.
• Everyone Has Standards: She's not very fond of Robin, but was horrified when she thought Harley Quinn flattened him to death.
• Expressive Ears: The bat ears on both her cowl and her civilian hoodie move up and down based on her emotional state.
• Expy: While it is not really confirmed, Tara Strong gives her a similar personality to how she portrayed Unikitty!
• Fangirl: She's described as a video game and comic book fangirl. She's also a massive fangirl of Batman.
• Fiery Redhead: Barbara is an excitable, fun-loving redhead.
• Fun Personified: Barbara likes having fun. In #EnterNightSting while Karen Beecher's suit is offline and she's giving everyone "The Reason You Suck" Speech, Barbara gleefully asked to be verbally run down next.
• Gadgeteer Genius: Bits of home-built high-tech gear and sketches for other projects are scattered all over a secret lab, and she's built a hidden computer system into the vanity counter in her bedroom. Ventures into Bungling Inventor at times, but even her rejected gadgets come in handy as seen in "#FaultyPowers". It's quite impressive considering that she makes all of it on her own without Batman's resources or training.
• Genki Girl: She's spunky and upbeat.
• Green-Eyed Monster: Suffers from a trace of this concerning Batman's sidekick Robin, and thinks she's much more suited for the job.
• Hero-Worshipper: Loves heroes, especially if it's Batman.
• Horrible Judge of Character: In spite of multiple red flags, she never realizes what kind of person her longtime BFF Harleen is. Averted when it comes to Slade Wilson / Deathstroke. Barbara is able to realize there's something very off about him pretty quickly.
• Hyper-Awareness: Like her hero, she's very good at picking up on the small details. It's how she gets her friends together in the first place.
• Iconic Item: Her bat-eared hoodie.
• In the Hood: Always wears her purple bat-eared hoodie in her civilian identity.
• Instant Costume Change: She can don her Batgirl outfit in a split-second. Her bedroom has a pair of bunk beds; she sleeps up top and uses the bottom one as a changing booth, with a curtain to block it from view.
• Ironic Fear: She's terrified of real bats, and completely freaks out when one gets into her room.
• Jumped at the Call: Upon meeting actual superheroes, she wastes no time in rallying them into a team.
• The Lancer: The Leader Diana is Barbara's exact opposite; for example, where Diana is rule-bound, Barbara is avant-garde. In addition, Barbara is the one who forms the team, often motivates them into action, and built their hideout. Diana is the leader because Barbara thrust her into the position.
• Likes Clark Kent, Hates Superman: Not the biggest Robin fan, but adores Dick Grayson for being such a kind, considerate child. Conversely, despite her admiration for Batman, she thinks Bruce Wayne is an obnoxious egomaniac.
• List of Transgressions: When Kara Danvers claims to want to change and puts Karen Beecher on the spot to tell her which flaw of hers needs correcting to prove it, Barbara Gordon produces a Long List of every problem she has with Kara, adding that she has one for all of her teammates.
• Malicious Misnaming: In "#DCSuperHeroBoys", she taunts Ursa by deliberately misnaming her as "Ursula".
• Motor Mouth: Veers into this when she gets overexcited.
• New Transfer Student: She moves from the dank, grim city of Gotham to the bright and colorful city of Metropolis, where she meets the rest of the girls upon enrolling in the local high school.
• Nightmare Fetishist: Barbara has a comically exaggerated fondness for growing up in a Wretched Hive like Gotham, and finds the seedier corners of Metropolis downright cozy.
  Barbara: Oh, so we need to hide a body? No problem—I grew up in Gotham.
• "Not So Different" Remark: Batgirl is skeptical about Supergirl and Bizarrogirl really being opposite or not, with her conclusion ending at "not".
• Phoneaholic Teenager: Discussed: Barbara tells Diana that appearing absorbed with one's phone is a good way of diverting suspision. Barbara is very dependent on her phone, however.
• Platonic Life-Partners: Is great friends with Barry Allen.
• Secret Identity: Her father (Commissioner Jim Gordon) doesn't know that she's Batgirl.
• "Shaggy Dog" Story: #StressTest ends with Barbara Gordon getting and F- on her test and Batgirl then immediately getting curbstomped during an attack on Metropolis.
• Skewed Priorities: One would think an individual as intelligent as Barbara Gordon would have little trouble getting straight As in high school. #TheMinus reveals Barbara Gordon is deliberately trying to get her report card to spell "BABS".
• Significant Green-Eyed Redhead: She's one of the main characters and has this color palette.
• Super-Speed: Briefly after taking a bite of a special fruit of Themyscira in #TheMinus, which allows Barbara Gordon to move fast enough to surprise Barry Allen. This combined with Barbara being even more loopy than usual convinces Karen Beecher, who had been debating the fruit's merits with Kara Danvers, that the things needed to disposed of. That one bite is even able to let Batgirl outrun Wonder Woman, who had been devouring the fruits all week!
• The Team Wannabe: She desperately wants to be Batman's sidekick, but he doesn't seem to know she exists, and her odds have gotten even worse since she moved away from Gotham. She actually gets the job for a while, but gives it back to Robin after seeing how despondent he is without it.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Burritos. She works in a burrito-centric restaurant and snuck in a bucket of them when going to the movies with her friends.
• Trash of the Titans: Diana Prince and Jessica Cruz confront Barbara Gordon over the fact she's cluttering their hideout to the point it is becoming unlivable. While Barbara defends her many gadgets she has nothing to say for herself when they start pointed out rotting food. Still, rather than get rid of it the only things Barbara actually cleans up are Diana and Jessica via a vacuum trap.
• Verbal Tic: Often reacts to scares and surprises with a tiny "Eep!"
• Vibrant Orange: Batgirl has orange hair. She is also spunky, upbeat and talks very fast when overexcited.
• Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Barbara has a fear of sharks to the point she refuses to remove "shark repellent" from an underground hideot. She later has a nightmare about flying sharks, and a delve into it by Zatanna suggests Barbara is afraid of large marine life in general.
• Zettai Ryouiki: Babs' civilian outfit involves shorts and thigh high striped socks.

Harley Quinn (Harleen Quinzel)

"Youse guys are villains? Why didn't you say something?!"

Voiced By: Tara Strong, Erika Ugalde (Latin American Spanish), Chiaki Omigawa (Japanese)

Babs' best friend back in Gotham, Harleen loves and cares for her friend, while also being a lover of practical jokes. But she also masquerades as Harley Quinn, Batgirl's former archenemy and the Super Villain Girls' former wildcard fighter.

---

• Adaptational Modesty: She returns to her classic harlequin attire when acting as a villain, and wears a red/blue sweatshirt/cutoffs/boots ensemble (resembling her New 52 look) as a civilian.
• Adaptation Relationship Overhaul:
  • She and Barbara are best friends in their civilian identities, rather than only knowing each other as enemies.
  • Rather than a romantic admirer of Joker whom he manipulated into being evil, Harleen is just a non-romantic, Loony Fan of his who never met him until long after becoming Harley Quinn.
  • Instead of a close friendship with Pam Isley and being partners in crime, Isley can't stand Quinzel and only works with her alongside the other Villain Girls.
• Adaptational Heroism: While still on the same team as the villains, Harley is on much friendlier terms with the heroes (namely Batgirl) than her original comic counterpart.
• Adaptational Villainy:
  • Harley in the previous DC Super Hero Girls continuity was a hero and had wanted to be from childhood. Here, Harley is again a straight villain.
  • Unlike in the comics and original DCAU backstory, the Joker doesn't have any influence on her besides being her idol. She became a supervillain on her own.
• Affably Evil: She's a very supportive friend to Barbara, even if she's a dangerous supervillain much of the time.
• Affectionate Nickname: "Leenie-Beanie" (used by Barbara).
• Asleep in Class: Done to emphasize her similarity to Kara Danvers in #ScrambledEggs. However, while Kara is the worst student of The Super Hero Girls Harleen is only the second worst of The Super Villain Girls.
• Beware the Silly Ones: She may act silly most of the time, but she can still be quite dangerous. Most prominently, she makes a habit of stealing the trademark weapons of the more serious heroines in the shorts. She also got a hold of Wonder Woman's Lasso of Truth twice. Though when Harley used it without Catwoman's direction Harley ended up tying her ownself up in tree.
• Brooklyn Rage: She always speaks with a noticeable Brooklyn accent, but the trope mainly comes into play when she notices, detects or believes that someone has made Barbara Gordon unhappy.
• Bubblegum Popping: Her Transformation Sequence has her blowing a bubble that pops and completely covers her, only for her to quickly spin and reveal that she's now fully costumed underneath all that gum.
• Character Exaggeration: Downplayed with her civilian form. In most portrayals, the "normal", pre-Joker Harleen Quinzel is not as energetic as her Harley Quinn self. This is also reflected in having a downplayed Brooklyn accent (which implied to be her real voice). In DC Super Hero Girls, Harley is energetic and speaks in her normal voice at all times. However, it is shown that Harley is already Harley Quinn at the start of the series. There's also more emphasis on her antics being annoying to others, rather than amusing.
• Clark Kenting: Her supervillain name is very close to her given name, but no one draws the connection. Not even after Harley Quinn, a clown-themed supervillain once active in Gotham appears in Metropolis on the same day that Harleen Quinzel, a civilian fan of the Joker who lived in Gotham, moves to Metropolis.
• Disrupting the Theater: Harleen is genuinely enjoying the movie, but is just too dense to realize she is ruining it for other people.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Barbara has been her best friend since second grade, and despite her villain double-life, she genuinely loves and cares for Babs. In "#GothamCon", she tries to murder Robin several times because he humiliated Barbara and genuinely thought it would have made her happy. When she mistakenly believes Barbara was actually a Robin fan due to how happy she was over him being alive, she immediately tries to stop the bomb she planted under his chair and later tracks him down, and threatens him to sign an autograph for her. This friendship also cemented her decision NOT to destroy Gotham after the Joker tells her to, even if she was already not cool with it before.
• Even Evil Has Standards: Similarily, like Catwoman below, she loves the chaos she causes but won't take any part in global destruction. This ends up causing an Enemy Mine near the end of Mayhem in the Multiverse.
• Evil Counterpart: To Batgirl, their themes and history both in and out of universe naturally made Harley Batgirl's opposite number.
• Evil Is Petty: In "Beeline", she admits she's blowing up a bridge just to avoid a math test.
• Evil Running Good: Downplayed. She is a good person even though she seems not to be because she started out as a supervillain. Basically it can be considered that Harley Quinn is not really bad by nature, but rather someone misguided.
• Foil: Harleen was foil to Barbara Gordon, having grown up in the Wretched Hive that is Gotham City but Barbara being the daughter of a police officer who wishes to combat the city's criminal elements while Harleen becames criminal herself.
• The Friend Nobody Likes: The Super Villain Girls welcomed her with open arms in "#Frenemies", but by their later canon team-ups, they can barely tolerate her. Even the Super Hero Girls initially rejected her from their circle due to her mischievous and somewhat annoying behavior.
• Genki Girl: She has the most hyperactive, enthusiastic, and liveliest personality of the Super Villain Girls.
• Girlish Pigtails: She wears her hair in pigtails, reflecting her childish, silly nature.
• Good All Along: Deep down she was always good, only her criminal activities and her involvement with other villains seemed to contradict it. Even she herself admitted that she loved to turn the world upside down but did not want to destroy it.
• Heel–Face Turn
  • Her redemption began when she realized her archnemesis was her best friend, Babs all along. And while she did disagree with the Joker's plan when he revealed his intentions to destroy Gotham, it was in fact Babs who indiscreetly motivated her to defuse the bomb.
  • Even during her stay in the Hall of Doom, Harley realized how far evil can go if left unchecked when she watched her former partners in crime get rid of heroes by exiling them to the Phantom Zone. It was that she also knew that after all she already had a friend to really count on. So she left not only the Legion of Doom and her own team, but also returned to help the heroes and was eventually accepted into the team by the Super Hero Girls.
• Hidden Heart of Gold: She demonstrated this by defusing the detonator of the bomb that would destroy Gotham, testing how far she was willing to go. So much so that Batgirl hoped that her friend would turn from her evil ways.
• Jabba Table Manners: She's even worse than the ladies from Themyscira, to the point Harleen Quinzel's gets her already chewed food on people around her and Harleen's eating makes Zee Zatara physically ill.
• Jerkass: Harleen Quinzel introduces herself to Barbara Gordon's Metropolis friends with a painful "prank", high pressure dousing, a gale force Whoopee Cushion and property defacement. Harleen only gets worse from there.
• Lazy Alias: This show is the first time that "Harley Quinn" is an alternate identity for Harleen Quinzel, rather than simply a name change.
• Lighter and Softer: Harley Quinn is not as lethal as her comic book counterparts, and goes weak in the knees when The Joker tries to push her into being so.
• Likes Clark Kent, Hates Superman: In their civilian identities, Barbara and Harleen were best friends before the former moved (and still keep in touch over the internet before Harleen eventually moved to Metropolis), neither being aware they were fighting as costumed hero and villain. As Batgirl and Harley Quinn, they have it in for each other. Once Harley moves to Metropolis as well, they both started actively ignoring blatant hints of the other's identity.
• Lost Food Grievance: "#TheWarriorAndTheJester" has her refer to Crime Alley as the site of Gotham City's greatest tragedy. Not for being where Thomas and Martha Wayne were killed, but actually because Crime Alley was where she lost two pieces of candy by accidentally spitting them out after putting them in her mouth.
• Psycho Supporter: She tries to kill Robin for bullying Barbara, honestly assuming it was something Barbara wanted.
• Self-Disposing Villain: Broke into Diana Prince's locker, stole The Lasso Of Truth, and ended up tying herself up with it by accident. Not before many mean sprited pranks however.
• Sixth Ranger: Would have been for the heroes in the third season, barring some Plot Twist. She was in the crossover movie which was effectively the grand finale since the show was canceled.
• Super Weapon, Average Joe: She steals both The Lasso Of Truth and The Soul Taker at different points. She's also been aprehended by the regular police, once after tripping over an ordinary house cat. With the The Lasso of Truth in particular Harley Quinn tied herself up with while attempting a bank heist!
• Toon Physics: Harley Quinn takes advantage of these more than any other character, befitting her goofy clown theme.
• Wild Card: Her former role in the Super Villain Girls team.

Super Villain Girls

General

• Big Bad Duumvirate: Of the show as a whole, notably in the #Frenemies two-parter with the emphasis on Harley.
• Carload of Cool Kids: In their civilian guises half the team are social outcasts who keep their activities under the radar, but once they suit up as villains they go out of their way to let everyone know what they're up to and how cool it is.
• Evil Versus Evil: In the absence of super heroes they're not above turning their attention to unaffiliated super villains like Cheetah or even turning against one another.
• Evil Laugh: They end their reveal episode, part on of #Frenemies, sharing a long one. Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn are more frequent offenders than the rest.
• Foil
  • Doris Zeul and Selina Kyle are foils to Diana Prince. Diana and Doris are both star athletes and huge school girls but Diana is only awkward due to culture clash and only violent during sanctioned competiton, when reacting to hostility directed towards her or when defending someone else, otherwise being a Gentle Giant. Doris is a socially inept Dumb Jock who uses her bulk to bully others into getting what she wants. While Diana had leadership thrust upon her and only really takes charge when she feels necessary, or when she's giving into a self serving an indulgence, Selina specifically put her own group together to make dealing with Diana's easier and only cedes leadership when someone else enforces their will, or cons her in the case of Harleen.
  • Doris Zeul is a foil to Kara Danvers in that they are both dumb jocks with familial issues but Doris Zeul steals from her own family. They are both destructive and believe themselves strong enough to do whatever they want but most of Kara's destruction is accidental and she's content to laugh at people rather than physically assault them like Doris. Selina Kyle and Leslie Willis are also foils to Kara Danvers in that they are both trolls as Kara is. Kara is mostly limited to mocking and laughing in the faces of her victims, while Selina Kyle actually steals other people's belongings and Leslie is willing to cause physical harm and property destruction in her pranks.
  • Pam Isley and Carol Ferris are foils to Jessica Cuz. Jessica and Pam both are soap box sadies but Jessica is an extroverted vegetarian pacifist while Pam is an introverted carnivore with barely suppressed violent tendencies. While Jessica is a pacifist specifically because she loves everything and wants the conflicts of life solved in the least painful ways possible, Carol has an obssessive love for one individual and will gladly batter him into submission, metaphorically or otherwise, to make him compliant and break whatever else is in the way of him or anything else she wants.
  • Doris Zeul is a foil to Karen Beecher in that Karen developed her shrinking technology through funds she gathered legitimately while Doris steals the component for her growth formula. Karen is also passive and submissive while Doris is aggressive and dominant.
  • Leslie Willis is a foil to Zee Zatara in that Zee is a performance artist who seeks to build a large following but is content to entertain with her own skills and creativity. Leslie's entertainment comes by making her audience laugh at the misery she causes to random unsuspecting victims.
  • Selina Kyle and Pam Isley are foils to Barbara Gordon, all four growing up in the Wretched Hive that is Gotham City but Barbara being the daughter of a police officer who wishes to combat the city's criminal elements while Selina became criminal herself. While Barbara wants to help Gotham Pam ultimately wants to reduce it to rubble.
• Gang of Bullies: Doris, Selina and Lesie are three different variety of bullies, with Pamela being a misanthrope who goes along with them for the misery they bring people, Carol Ferris having nothing better to do and Harleen finding their activities fun.
• Legion of Doom: They don't come together exclusively to beat The Super Hero Girls but the protagonists banding together was what inspired them to do the same.
• Lighter and Softer: Giganta is not the despot her Golden Age comic book counterpart was, a kidnapper like the Silver Age version nor a body thief like the Post Crisis version. Poison Ivy poisons no one and relies far less on controlling other people against their will. This Poison Ivy also tries to suppress her powers and homicidal misantrhopy most of the time and just get through school. Catwoman is no better than most of her comic book counterparts however, just because the comics have been increasingly making her an Anti-Villain\Anti-Hero, while Livewire is about as malicious as her comic book counterparts.
• Recurring Riff: In addition to the group as a whole having a Villain Song, The Super Villain Girls also have a leitmotif and each individual member has their own variation of this leitmotif that plays while they're getting focus.
• Toyless Toyline Character: Catwoman, Harley and Poison Ivy were the only ones in the group who got their own dolls in the accompanying toyline, and the last one was a Target exclusive.
• Transformation Sequence: "#Frenemies" shows that, like the Superhero Girls, they each have a unique transformation sequence where they switch from their civilian forms to their villain forms. While The Super Hero Girls have fairly long sequences based on their individual personalities The Super Villain Girls have short sequences that emphasize their status as a team put together to cause damage.
• Villain Song: "Too Much Fun" featured in "#Frenemies", which is about how much they enjoy causing trouble.

Catwoman (Selina Kyle)

"Ooh, a game! Cats love to play..."

Voiced By: Cree Summer, Ayaka Asai (Japanese)

Selina is the school's biggest tease, able to snatch things away without attention. She takes this to greater lengths as Catwoman, while also taking great amusement in messing with everyone else.

---

• Absurdly Sharp Claws: Gloves with claws that seem able to slice clean through anything are part of Catwoman's costume.
• Actor Allusion: Cree Summer's role as Catwoman could be a subtle reference to her previous role as Nefertina, a cat-themed, whip-wielding heroine in the cartoon series Mummies Alive!
• Adaptational Intelligence: This version of Selina is a very smart criminal mastermind as opposed to simply a crafty thief. The show even implies that she came up with the idea to form a supervillain team to overcome the heroes rather than the typical evil genius antagonists.
• Adaptational Villainy: She's back to being an Anti-Villain at most.
• Anti-Villain: A thief and vandal willing to torture individuals, even take part in the execution of groups, Catwoman will nonetheless avoid causing harm if she thinks of a way to have her "fun" without it and mass murder, even through negligence, is right out.
• Badass Normal: Has no superpowers, but was smart and athletic enough to singlehandedly toy with Supergirl for almost an entire episode.
• The Chessmaster: She's good at manipulating events and people to produce the desired outcome. She also knows how to exploit the Super Hero Girls' flaws to her advantage. Lex Luthor thinks he already has her figured out because he is a "ninth level intellect" but she ends up playing him several times.
• Comic-Book Fantasy Casting: Her civilian identity bears a very striking resemblance to Halle Berry's look, while her voice is inspired by Eartha Kitt (which was intentional on her voice actress' part).
• Cool and Unusual Punishment: Catwoman leaves Supergirl powerless under kryptonite in a museum surrounded by nerd things which Supergirl hates, with Supergirl's cell phone just out of reach.
• Deadpan Snarker: Selina is still the Queen of quick wits on this show. Best exemplified when she makes numerous jabs at Supergirl during one of her heists.
  [Supergirl stands next to some Neanderthal statues]
  Catwoman: The family resemblance is uncanny.
• Even Evil Has Standards: She may be a criminal, but letting Metropolis get destroyed is a no-go. She betrays Lex, her temporary ally, because of his plan to let a meteor hit the city so he can recreate it in his own image.
• Evil Counterpart: To Batgirl. While Barbara is spunky, peppy, and noble, Selina is cold-hearted, cynical, and selfish. Barbara is also humble enough to not force her way on her heroic teammates, acting as a more secondary leader, while Catwoman calls the shots around her group and tells them off from time to time. They also seem to target each other when given the chance, even having similar combat skills.
• Giggling Villain: throughout "#FightAtTheMuseum", she can't stop laughing at Supergirl's suffering.
• Hartman Hips: A perfect example of that trope, Selina has thick thighs and childbearing hips wider than her own waistline or bust.
• Impossible Thief: Catwoman somehow steals the "S" off of Supergirl's chest while Supergirl isn't looking.
• The Leader: The Super Villain Girls teaming up was her idea, and she's usually the one calling the shots.
• Leitmotif: A jazzy melody not unlike a Film Noir's theme.
• A Lighter Shade of Black: While her teammates want to hurt people or wreak havoc, Selina's primary motivation is stealing stuff.
• Made of Iron: She survives a blow from Cheetah in #PurseScratcher, after it is shown Cheetah can casually shatter wood and concrete. Catwoman then manages to block strikes from Cheetah without her bones and tendons snapping, using coathangers for armor no less. One can at least assume Wonder Woman was pulling her punches.
• Mythology Gag: Cree Summer has said she's channeling the Eartha Kitt version of Catwoman. However, her civilian outfit more closely resembles Halle Berry's.
• Never My Fault: Catwoman is mostly right about The Super Hero Girls being incompetent crooks but fails to acknowledge that Wonder Woman performed her part in the heist correctly the first time and that Catwoman got the location of Lex Luthor's identity card wrong.
• Not So Above It All: Despite being a cunning mistress who takes her exploits seriously, she laughs at Garth after he trips and mocks the Super Hero Girls’ civilian selves for being “nerds” in “#Frenemies”.
• One-Man Army: Takes down a whole squad of security guards, armed with only handcuffs, in "#AllyCat"
• Playful Cat Smile: Befitting not only the cat theme but her mischievous personality.
• Pyrrhic Victory: Catwoman manages escape from Cheetah in one piece, but they both lose the purse they were fighting over to Zee Zatara.
• Race Lift: This Catwoman is African-American. Fitting, given her resemblance to Halle Berry as a civilian and her Eartha Kitt-inspired vocal performance.
• Screw Destiny: When Lex tries to invoke You Can't Fight Fate on her due to his possession of the Book of Eternity, she seems resigned at first. Secretly, Catwoman tears off a page of the book detailing her decision to release the captured Super Hero Girls so that they can destroy a meteor hurtling towards Metropolis. Afterwards, she basically tells Lex that she did it because she's offended that he sees her as nothing more than a pawn in his game.
  Catwoman: No book tells me what to do.
• Sticky Fingers: It's Catwoman. From diamonds to candy bars, if Selina wants it, she'll swipe it.
• The Tease: Catwoman maintains her flirtatious nature. For example, she playfully teases Barry when ordering a tea so he won't notice her swiping stuff from his shop.
• Tomboy with a Girly Streak: Selina's civvies are very biker chic, but her love for jewelry is apparent with swanky earrings, bracelets, and a necklace.
• Troll: She gets quite a lot of amusement when she manipulates Supergirl into falling into her trap. Though it's revealed that she was intentionally mocking her to deceive the heroine, that doesn't stop her from enjoying it.

Poison Ivy (Pamela Isley)

"Humans are vermin in the garden of life. Locusts, termites, cockroaches! I'll exterminate them all!"

Voiced By: Cristina Milizia, Kana Yuuki (Japanese)

A nature-loving student at Metropolis High School, Pam prefers to be a loner, with only her plants, mainly Phil, for company. As Poison Ivy, she uses her control over plants to take Earth back from humanity.

---

• Adaptational Modesty: Her dress is less revealing than the usual spandex made of leaves, though unlike the previous series, she is no longer portrayed wearing pants. The show also does not go so far as to give Poison Ivy shoulder straps and coverings, as it did for Wonder Woman.
• Adaptational Superpower Change: She lacks any sort of charm/Mind Control powers Poison Ivy traditionally employs, except indirectly by having plants puppeteer people. She's also not a Poisonous Person, except through her plants. On the otherhand her powers extend to green colored fungi and protists now.
• Adaptational Ugliness: Zig-Zagged. While still attractive in her villain identity, Pamela's civilian identity looks very sickly, whereas she usually looks attractive in or out of costume.
• Adaptational Villainy: Poison Ivy is a villain again instead of a hero like in the previous continuity.
• Adaptation Personality Change: She seems to have lost her shyness from the previous continuity when she's Poison Ivy. Pamela Isley, on the other hand, is a little more sedate and shy. She's also a meat-eater who looks downright unhealthy because of it, while other animated adaptations had her be a vegetarian in spite of her beliefs. While she is Pamela, her civilian look more closely resembles Ivy Pepper from the Gotham TV series.
• Adaptation Relationship Overhaul:
  • Ivy's first appearances in two shorts (before her first two episode appearances) hinted at a friendship with Harley Quinn in this continuity as well, only for both shorts showing that Ivy can barely tolerate Harley.
  • "#DetentionClub" reveals that Ivy deeply misses and treasures her Disappeared Dad, unlike other incarnations.
• Amazing Technicolor Population: Like some incarnations, Ivy gains green skin.
• Artistic License – Biology: She only eats meat to avoid harming plantlife. Eating only meat is actually more harmful to plants than eating only plants, since a pound of meat takes a huge amount of plant life (not to mention water) to grow. Specifically, in the US, it takes 7 kg of grain to grow one kg of beef, and 4 kg of grain to grow one kg of pork; it also takes 20,000 litres of water to grow one kg of meat vs about 4,000 litres of water to grow one kg of wheat.
• Better with Non-Human Company: Ivy obviously loves spending time with plants and sees humans as monsters that wantonly murder plants, so socializing with them is not a top priority. Her best friend, the potted plant "Phil", thinks Pam should socialize more with her own species, however.
• Bizarre Taste in Food: In "#ScrambledEggs", she eats two of the eggs the class is forced to eggsit. She eats the first one raw after receiving it (shell and all, apparently), and fries the second one to make a sandwich that she defiantly eats in class.
• Cool House: She lives in an apartment building with a huge greenhouse on the roof and vines covering the exterior walls.
• Deadpan Snarker: When civilian Pam is inclined to bother speaking to anyone, it's mostly in dry, deadpan tones.
• Emo Teen: In her civilian form, Pam is a sulky, unhealthy-looking loner who is easily driven to tears when harm comes to plant life.
• Evil Counterpart: She is this to Jessica. Jessica is outgoing and friendly while Pam is a loner. While Jessica is an activist who tries to preserve all life, Pam only cares about saving plants, even if it means costing human lives. (This even extends to their diet where Pam only eats meat while Jessica is a vegetarian.)
• Evil Redhead: As Poison Ivy, her hair is bright fiery red, with a green outfit and green-tinted skin.
• Evil Laugh: "#HashtagFrownyFace" shows her having one before Harley sends her an emoji text. Which has her stop to complain why couldn't Harley just text "like a normal person?"
• Fungi Are Plants: Poison Ivy's powers extend to green fungi and even green algae!
• Green Thumb: Poison Ivy is as good with growing plants as her previous incarnations.
• It Is Beyond Saving: She left Gotham because it was a "toxic cesspool" inhospitable to plant life.
  Nothing green will ever grow there again.
• Jabba Table Manners: Shows this off in "#ScrambledEggs," belching loudly whenever she eats one of the eggs from the Egg Sitting assignment.
• Likes Clark Kent, Hates Superman: "Like" might be too strong, but as of "#MisgivingTree," Pam can tolerate Jess as a fellow nature lover but loathes Green Lantern. However, in "#Vegecide," Pam saw Jess drink a vegetable-based smoothie and seemingly loses any respect even for her civilian identity.
• Misanthrope Supreme: She believes that Gotham is a "toxic cesspool" that can't be saved and that nothing green will ever grow there again. In general, she hates humans for causing harm to plants so much that she genuinely believes the best thing for the environment is to wipe humanity out. Pam is trying to put off the extinction of humanity until her education is complete however, even willingly joining Jessica Cruz's H.E.A.R.T.(anger management program with Carter Hall.
• Night of the Living Mooks: Jessica Cruz tries to bond with Pam Isley by taking her on a camping trip, but Jessica trying to feed Pam a veggie kabob roaste on a wood camp fire sents Pam over the the edge, causing Poison Ivy to emergy and start twisting dead plants and mushooms into an army of zombies against Jessica.
• Not-So-Harmless Villain: It’s hard to feel threatened by the mousy teenager who carries around and talks to a potted plant, but her control over plants makes her one of the most powerful and dangerous villains on the show.
• Nutritional Nightmare: She is the opposite of a die-hard vegetarian and eats only meat, leaving her in visibly poor health from an unbalanced diet.
• Pointy Ears: To accentuate her elfish looks, she has pointed ears as Poison Ivy.
• Rogues' Gallery Transplant: Is traditionally a Bat-villain, but in this version is mostly used to counterpoint Green Lantern. The Super Villain Girls already have two other Bat-villains anyhow. She does spend the large majority of one short tormenting Batgirl and conversing with Harley Quinn, however. Batgirl also has a focus episode dedicated to finding a way to stop Poison Ivy when no one else shows up to save her.
• Sexier Alter Ego: Pam Isley the soft-spoken high schooler has a sickly greenish tint to her skin, bags under her eyes, limp and messy brown hair, and wears frumpy, baggy clothes, making her resemble her Gotham counterpart, Ivy Pepper. As Poison Ivy the vampy villainess, the tint becomes bright mint green, her hair gains fiery-red vibrancy and volume, and she's dressed in a figure-hugging dress.
• Soft-Spoken Sadist: Pam has a very gentle voice. She retains it as Poison Ivy, which only makes it more jarring when she's ripping people apart with giant vines.
• Straw Vegetarian: Inverted; Pam only eats meat because she hates seeing plants die. She apparently doesn't understand that the animal meat is made from an even larger quantity of plants. "#ScrambledEggs" also shows her eating a sandwich, even though bread is made out of plants.
• Tamer and Chaster: Much like The Batman, this version of Poison Ivy is much less sexualized, and isn't a seductress in any way, because she's a teenager.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: Pam has a deep connection to the vegetation she nurtures and the surrounding world, and only wants to protect them from corporate deforestation. She ends up seeing eye to eye with Jessica Cruz's nature preservation in "#MisgivingTree" as a result. One slight problem: she's willing to murder anyone that has murdered the greens in return.
• When She Smiles: She gives a genuinely happy smile for the first time in "#DetentionClub". Hal finds it very pretty and heartwarming on her.
• Wrestler in All of Us: Pam Isley refuses to watch professional wrestling with Harleen Quinzel, to the point she gives Harleen an elbow drop to keep the remote control
• You Need a Breath Mint: Implied, considering a green cloud comes out of her mouth every time she belches.

Star Sapphire (Carol Ferris)

"You thought you got rid of me, didn't you, Hal Jordan?!"

Voiced By: Kari Wahlgren, Satomi Akesaka (Japanese)

Hal's ex-girlfriend, Carol still pines for him persistently. As Star Sapphire, she wields a Violet Lantern Power Ring, similar to a Green Lantern's, only powered by love instead of will.

---

• Adaptational Modesty: The Star Sapphire Corps' costumes are infamously Stripperific in most depictions. Since she's a teenager in this continuity, Carol is instead dressed like a princess in a pink, poofy gown and tiara, being even more modest than the toned down DC Rebirth Star Sapphires.
• Adaptational Villainy: She's a villain, which is more on par with her early silver age comics portrayal than in the previous web-series. She's also this to the comic version of Star Sapphire who's usually Brainwashed and Crazy by the Zamarons or the Star Sapphire gem, while this version already had a few screws loose before getting the violet power ring.
• Age Lift: As with most other characters, she's been de-aged from an adult to a teenager.
• BFG: Creates one, that shoots explosive hearts, to attack Jess.
• Clingy Jealous Girl: In #PictureDaze Carol Ferris literally clings to Hal Jordan as Jessica Cruz futiley tries to remove her.
• The Dreaded: To Hal Jordan. The otherwise fearless guy is completely terrified of her.
• Dumped via Text Message: Her Freudian Excuse for going off on Hal. Even Jessica gives Hal a What the Hell, Hero? once she hears about it.
• Entitled to Have You: Hal Jordan is awesome and her biggest drive in life. If he proves to be otherwise she'll just fix him. If he shows interest in something or someone else she'll remove it or them. The only ways to stop her for any length of time are either to beat her down or for Hal Jordan to relent, apologize and spend time with her.
• Full-Name Basis: She refers to Hal and Jessica by their full names at nearly all times. There's no apparent reason for this, other than to make her sound crazier.
• Glowing Eyes of Doom: Star Sapphire goes a step further than the eye color change of Green Lantern
• Hypocritical Heartwarming: In "#ItsComplicated", she snaps at Jessica for insulting Hal Jordan on the grounds that she believes only herself can be a jerk to Hal.
• Love Makes You Crazy: Same deal as the source material; as her love powers the violet Power Ring, it supercharges her love to madness levels.
• Murder the Hypotenuse: What she wanted to do before Jess could explain there is not, and never will be, anything between her (Jess) and Hal.
• New Transfer Student: In her first appearance she goes to another school, but in later episodes she appears to be a student at Metropolis High. It’s likely that when she found out what school Hal went to she transferred just to get closer to him.
• No Indoor Voice: Since a manic headspace comes with her power, Carol is constantly SCREAMING as Star Sapphire.
• No Sense of Personal Space: Not simply in a physical sense; she doesn't get the idea of boundaries when she and Hal are an item. In "#PictureDaze", she won't stop texting Hal for even a second.
• Nothing Nice About Sugar and Spice: Carol is a cheerleader with a love of romance and the color pink, has a supervillain outfit that consists of a frilly pink dress and a tiara, and has love-based powers that manifest in hearts and purple constructs. She's also a Psycho Ex-Girlfriend to Hal who is hellbent on getting revenge on him and murdering anyone who she thinks he might be dating.
• Punched Across the Room: Even without her ring she's able to send Hal Jordan across a room with a punch. That was while aiming for Jessica Cruz no less.
• Psycho Ex-Girlfriend: She's this to her ex, Hal Jordan. Not that she doesn't have the right to be mad after he broke up with her via text message.
• Secret Public Identity: Out of the main villains she is the only one whose civilian identity is public knowledge, at least to Jessica Cruz and Hal Jordan.
• Stalker with a Crush
  <I see you! XOXOXO>
• Technicolor Eyes: Has violet eyes, like the Zataras and Lois Lane. It's unclear if hers are natural like theirs, or a result of the Violet Lantern power.
• Tiny Tyrannical Girl: She's puny, even for a teenager, but her power and attitude are ginormous!
• Too Kinky to Torture: Supergirl subjects the six villain girls to Makeover Torment in #SoulSisters. Star Sapphire's actually likes her new look.
• Transformation Trinket: Like Jessica and Hal, she uses her ring to transform.
• Verbal Tic: Tends to react to frustrations and slights with a girly gasp or squeak.
• Wicked Heart Symbol: Carol Ferris's hair curls into Valentine's hearts when she becomes Star Sapphire.
• Woman Scorned: Big time. Even Hal text blocking her is enough to bring down her wrath one second later.
• Wrestler in All of Us: During the climax of #ScrambledEggs Carol Ferris puts Tatsu Yamashiro in a half Boston crab.
• Yandere: A major one for Hal Jordan. If Carol's not punishing Hal for "toying with her feelings" or trying to forcibly keep him to herself, she's trying to take out the "competition".

Giganta (Doris Zeul)

"How dare you insult... Giganta! Now all shall feel my WRATH!"

^{Click to see her civilian identity}

Voiced By: Grey DeLisle, Keiko Sugiura (Japanese)

A strength-obsessed bully, Giganta tends to pick on the weak, with Karen as her main target. She turns into Giganta thanks to a serum that lets her grow to massive size.

---

• Adaptational Dumbass: The comic book Doris Zeul is an overachieving geneticist who loses more and more intelligence the larger and larger she becomes. This Doris Zeul doesn't lose any awareness or problem solving ability when she grows but she barely has any of that to begin with. She's still smarter than the Golden Age and Silver Age Gigantas, who had the minds of petulant children due to being mentally ill gorillas turned into human women, but when Golden Age Giganta has her intelligence artificially boosted she gets to keep it, with this Doris Zeul reverts to being an idiot and even loses her memories over how her Evil Plan was supposed to work.
• Adaptational Personality Change: Comic Book Doris Zeul is an almost decent human being with an interest in the biological sciences who is often content to make money legitimately but often can't resist the urge to make a quick buck illegally. Her main issue is that her super powers come from a stolen body Doris refuses to return, with Diana lacking the ability to force her to. If not for that one particular disagreement the two would actually be friends. Comic book Doris in fact "respects" Wonder Woman so much that her torment of Diana's sister Donna was based on her belief Donna was a disgrace to the title. This show's Doris Zeul is an unrepentant bully who pushes people around just to get things she wants more easily or solely to satisfy her amusement. She rages against the world as a super villain out of belief it doesn't have enough respect for her and for the sake of inspiring fear. She also has no interest in academics beyond which drugs can make her stronger.
• Adaptational Wimp: This Giganta is more powerful than the Golden Age and Silver Age Gigantas of the comic books, but she's a lot less powerful than the Doris Zeul Giganta seen in the Post Crisis comics, who is The Dreaded to pretty much every mortal in Wonder Woman's book except Wonder Woman herself. However this Doris Zeul suffers less from it than this show's Diana of Themyscira, and thus is one of the few Gigantas who manages to defeat Wonder Woman in their first meeting! Still, this Doris can only change size when she has a specific drug in her system and is sufficiently angry, unlike comic book Doris Zeul, who could change size whenever she wanted and become far larger.
• Adaptational Ugliness: She is much more brawny here than her original comic book counterpart. This series has chosen instead to emphasize her role as The Brute (likely because there's already an abundance of attractive females as it is). A Gross-Up Close-Up on her massive hands in "#SheMightBeGiant" doesn't help.
• Ambiguously Brown: A first glance at Doris's fair skin probably wouldn't tip-off that this version is half-Black, rather than mildly tanned Caucasian like her web-series counterpart.
• Animal Motif: She occasionally crouches on all fours like a gorilla, with the body type to boot; a subtle call-back to her original origins utilizing the primate in some form.
• Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Typical example for the character, but she's smaller than usual. At the very least, her Giganta persona is double her normal size, and that occasionally changes between scenes. The comic book tie-in and the episode "#WorldsFinest" depicts her closer to her 3-story building stature.
• Balloon Belly: She stuffs herself silly at a pie-eating contest to the point that her sweater is riding up her swollen gut. Weirdly enough, she's the only contestant to have this.
• Big Eater: Presses and eats up to 5 pies at once in a pie-eating contest, consuming a whopping 94 pies! However, she has a limit, losing to Barry Allen and Diana Prince.
• Berserk Button: Calling her "meathead" makes her even more aggressive. On the flipside, implying that she's pretty strong "for a girl" isn't any better.
• Borrowed Catch Phrase: "Giganta Smash!"
• Broken Ace: Embarrassingly for her, the Lasso of Truth reveals that Giganta's bullying temper spawns from her "overcompensating for deep insecurities rooting from a quest for perfectionism" and "an overpowering fear of not being good enough".
• The Brute: For the Super Villain Girls group, mirroring Supergirl's role.
• The Bully: She's described as the kind of bully who beats her victim up, in contrast to her teammate Livewire, who takes aim at her victims' emotions.
• Dartboard of Hate: She has punching and speed bags with the pictures of The Super Hero Girls on them. She even has a doormat with Batgirl's picture on it that she uses to aggressively wipe her feet.
• Disrupting the Theater: Even when Doris Zeul likes a movie she'll ruin it just to spite Karen Beecher.
• Dumb Jock: She's a star athlete at school, but her grades aren't the best. Ironically, her parents are both scientists.
• Evil Is Bigger: Even without going Giganta, she towers over most of the Super Hero Girls.
• Evil Counterpart
  • Doris Zeul is a star athlete, just like Diana Prince, and both even have gross up close ups of the rougher aspects of their physiques. They both tower over their peers and are both socially awkward. While Diana is protective of those weaker than her Doris sees such as annoyances or sources of entertainment. While Diana is patiently striving to move more fluidly through the "world of man" Doris is prone to raging and attacking people when her plans hit a snag or someone doesn't understand what she wants.
  • To Kara Danvers. Both are the tomboy powerhouses of their respective groups with abrasive attitudes, destructive tempers and come from scientifically advanced communities (though they're pretty Book Dumb regardless). Unlike Kara, Doris never feels guilty about exploiting her strength (or shows any evidence of being non-book smart), and Doris's circle of friends bring the worst out of her in villainy.
  • In addition to being a foil to Karen Beecher due to her personality and powers being the complete opposite of hers, she's also successfully pulled off the "growth" Karen Beecher originally wanted but keep failing to achieve, has a similar taste in food and enjoys the same kind of movies...though Zeul enjoys ruining the movies for Beecher even more than watching them.
• Evil Redhead: Her hairstyle is red and bushy, and has no problem being a general menace.
• G-Rated Drug: The serum she uses is an obvious reference to steroids.
• Glory Seeker: After gaining the ability to grow in size, Giganta sets out to be the most feared super villain in Metropolis, even taking time to wreak havok in Gotham City at one point.
• Growing Muscles Sequence: Happens in "#SheMightBeGiant" when she unleashes her newfound powers for the first time, complete with close-ups of her bulging muscles and growing figure. This also happens during her Transformation Sequence in "#Frenemies".
• Growling Gut: Her stomach is near-literally roaring for food during "#CandyCrushed", which has her try and fail to eat the school vending machine's last candy bar.
• Hartman Hips: A robust and beefy version of that trope, Doris possesses incredibly thick muscular thighs and childbearing hips more expansive than her own waistline or bust.
• Hidden Depths: "#LostAndFound" reveals that she's a bully mainly because of parental neglect and a constant craving for attention, and also that she's very self-aware.
• Hulking Out: When a sports store manager repeatedly underestimated Doris's sporting needs while shopping for weights, Doris angrily transforms and rages out in the mall.
• Huge Schoolgirl: Appropriately one of tallest females in Metropolis High even when her powers are inactive.
• Jerkass to One: Of the 2nd type (crueler to one). She's a massive bitch to all the other girls, but seems meanest to Karen/Bumblebee. Considering what a Nice Girl Karen is, this makes her seem especially bad.
• Jerk Jock: Being a star school athlete herself, she balances lifting weights and throwing footballs with bullying puny folks around her school.
• Jock Dad, Nerd Son: Inverted. Her parents are scientists while she's a Jerk Jock.
• Lightning Bruiser: Once Giganta gets started she is pretty quick, though not as quick as Wonder Woman, who manages to intercept Giganta when she's about to squish Bumblebee and especially not Supergirl, who overwhelms Giganta with her own speed. Still, when the Super Villain Girls decide to make a getaway they opt to just have Giganta carry their car instead of starting it up.
• Like Father, Unlike Son: She's nothing like either of her parents, who are very mild-mannered scientists.
• Male Gaze: Despite being a meatheaded jock, Doris is surprisingly a reasonably attractive girl with a large rump and very thick muscular legs fitting for a strong athlete like her.
• Metronomic Man Mashing: This is how Giganta handles Supergirl in their first fight before she disposes of Supergirl with a Human Hammer-Throw
• Muscles Are Meaningful: Her Giganta form's pretty burly, and her strength alone can solo even the comparatively smaller Supergirl and Wonder Woman.
• Near-Villain Victory: In one short she accidentally injected the wrong formula and temporarily gained Super-Intelligence, coming within a hairsbreadth of defeating the Super Hero Girls without them even realizing it.
• No-Sell: In her first Hulk Out she is unfazed by a punch to the face from Wonder Woman, a bomb from Batgirl and Bumblebee's new stingers, with Supergirl being the only one strong enough to cause Giganta pain.
• Psycho Serum: The growth formula she stole from her parents' laboratory. While it does make her "more pumped" for workouts, it also makes her highly susceptible to raging out and growing inhumanly large.
• Race Lift: She's bi-racial in this series, being half Caucasian and half black, rather than being fully Caucasian like previous iterations.
• The Rival: Leslie Willis says that Doris Zeul has a lame sense of humor and that Leslie's pranks are funnier. Most likely Leslie is deliberately egging Doris on to both laugh as Doris bullies others and at Doris's own irritation with Leslie. Their super villain sides Giganta and Livewire are also prone to fighting without a common goal.
• Stone Wall: Giganta's strength is comparable to Wonder Woman's, which means that in this show she isn't quite as strong as Supergirl. However, Giganta's sheer size allows her to gain leverage that leads to Wonder Woman's defeat in their first fight and is much tougher than Supergirl, to the point Wonder Woman can't hurt Giganta with unarmed strikes despite being strong enough to catch Giganta's punches and a hard enough hitter to at least push Supergirl around a little. Supergirl can hurt Giganta a little but ultimately loses when trying to go blow for blow with her due to Giganta just being able to take a lot more.
• Strong as They Need to Be: In her debut episode Giganta ties up Wonder Woman, tosses away Supergirl and goes bowling with Batgirl before finally going down after knocking herself silling and falling several stories. #IAmBatGirl sees Giganta get punched out and tied up by Batgirl anticlimactically, even though Wonder Woman's punch was shown to do nothing to Giganta before and Giganta's consistently took multiple from Supergirl before this.
• Tomboyish Ponytail: Her civilian look adopts this hairstyle, but becomes undone when she's Giganta.
• Unskilled, but Strong: Giganta can take Livewire's electricity even better than Wonder Woman and Supergirl, but despite practing in boxing Giganta doesn't actually throw a good punch...then again when we see Doris Zeul practicing she quickly Rage Quits after hurting her hand and runs off to get more of her growth formula; Doris probably needs a proper trainer.
• Volcanic Veins: Doris Zeul's veins glow orange before she grows into Giganta, and when she pecs flexes for the cameras while being arrested.

Livewire (Leslie Willis)

"What up, Metropolis?!"

Voiced By: Mallory Low, Mariko Higashiuchi (Japanese)

A bully like Doris, Leslie takes to the Internet to embarrass anyone she can get a video of thanks to her social media channel. And she also fights as Livewire with her electrical powers.

---

• Amazing Technicolor Population: As Livewire, she has light blue skin.
• Attention Whore: Orchestrating embarrassing moments for her classmates and posting them online? It's all to get more views for her channel. She ups the ante with more embarrassing videos that include all the other Super Hero Girls save Diana, and this leads to more being her "Shock-a-teers".
• Bad Influencer: She uses her social media channel to encourage large amounts of people to laugh at other's misfortunes.
• The Bully:
  • Unlike Doris who bullies people through physical intimidation, she goes for people's emotions by humiliating them on social media. She's described as the kind of bully who's "out to kill your soul". Yikes.
  • However she's also the kind of bully that likes to dish it out, but she can't take it herself. Leslie can't stand getting as good as she gives and when she's on the receiving end of the humiliation she's quick to run away.
• Bully Brutality: Most of her "pranks" with her powers are painful but not at all lethal, but she also tries to make an elevator drop two stories. Eventually, she makes a public spectacle out of prolonged electrification of Wonder Woman, which drives away even her most mean-spirited viewers.
• Catchphrase: Livewire starts her videos with a bellowing "What up, Metropolis!"
• Clark Kenting: Leslie plays absurdly loose with her secret identity, pretending to have given up her show, then immediately stepped back up as Livewire. The letters "L" and "W" were even in her logo before this.
• Delinquent Hair: She has a black/blue mohawk as a civilian, which turns three lighter shades of blue when she powers up.
• The Dreaded: The Hero Girls, except for Wonder Woman, are terrified of her. Especially after the time she humiliated them. Its justified, as Livewire nearly killed Wonder Woman and Supergirl, their two physically toughest members. Multiple different times in the latter's case.
• Elemental Speed: Livewire is capable of keeping distance from and even blitzing Supergirl. However, Livewire doesn't have Supergirl's reflexes, taking longer to get up to speed and unable to keep track when Supergirl starts zipping in and out of Livewire's field of vision.
• Energy Absorption: For more powerful attacks, she absorbs electricity from the environment.
• Evil Counterpart
  • She's a troll not unlike Kara Danvers, except while Kara's trolling is for her own personal amusement Leslie gets off on public humiliation. Leslie is also willing to cause physical harm, property destruction and even sabotage the work of students and employees. Kara at her worst will only do such things by accident. They both get upset over a hero making front page news over a Cat Up a Tree and harrass Lois Lane about it, but again, Danvers just breaks Lane's pencils while Willis shocks Lane and then tries to kill the hero in question. Also, while Kara tries to teach a reluctant Karen how to dance and offers to help her more when Karen ends up on her face, Livewire forces Bumblebee to do a humiliating dance.
  • She is a performer not unlike Zee Zatara. When Livewire and Zatanna make back to back big entrances in front of a live crowd they both get an equal amount of cheers...though this is before people know Livewire is willing to commit murder for a cheap laugh.
  • Livewire makes use of blue electricity to contrast Bumblebee's yellow.
• Fan Community Nickname: In-Universe — she addresses her followers as "Shocketeers".
• Fangs Are Evil: Not Leslie, but Livewire inexplicably has them.
• Growling Gut: Her belly growls twice while she's fighting Giganta for the last candy bar in "#CandyCrushed".
• Hate Sink: Leslie is not a nice person at all, as she relishes in Kick the Dog moments as shown in her debut episode.
• Hell-Bent for Leather: She's a vicious bully and decked out all in studded leather.
• If It Bleeds, It Leads: Leslie tries to cause an elevator to crash so she could post it online.
• Involuntary Dance: She turns Bumblebee's suit against her and forces Bumblebee to disco.
• Lack of Empathy: Thinks dropping an elevator full of people is funny and worth recording.
• Large Ham: Leslie is a media personality. She's obnoxiously loud and likes to squeeze in puns, especially when on camera.
• Laser-Guided Karma: Which leads to a final confrontation in Glen Morgan Square. Diana confronts Livewire, and she gets zapped. Once it becomes obvious, however, this isn't just a simple humiliation, it stops being funny. And the others, starting with Kara, show up to defend Diana against Livewire. Livewire's Energy Absorption powers up the ante with each new attempt, even draining Metropolis for a few minutes. But when the Girls still stand, together, Leslie tries one more time—only to find out she's got no power to draw from, and she's out of power. Which in turn leads to her Humiliation Conga as others snap pictures of her, and the assembled folks cheering the Girls victory of Livewire. The news piece Leslie reads the next day shows how Livewire got her comeuppance at the hands of the Girls. This leads to her followers splitting in droves to a new site: one with the Girls in videos being cute with cats they rescue. The kicker? There are FIFTY MILLION followers, with the joke "Wonder Woman breaks the Internet!!!" causing Leslie to scream "Seriously!?!" loud enough to be heard outside Metropolis.
• Lean and Mean: Rail thin, and easily one of the most obnoxiously cruel villains in the show.
• Malicious Misnaming: She likes to call people insulting variants of their names, like addressing Lois Lane as "Lois Lame" and Wonder Woman as "Wonder Whiner" or "Wonder Weenie".
• Moral Myopia: Leslie can dish it out but she can't take it. She's all for laughing at others' humiliation, but has thin skin for when anybody laughs at her.
• Power Incontinence: Livewire's powers start acting on their own after she's splashed with coffee.
• Psycho Electro: Livewire celebrates on camera when it appears that she killed Supergirl. While Livewire goes on to release a libelous book claiming she did the world a favor, Livewire's all too eager to kill a "new" more beloved hero with seemingly none of Supergirl's negative personality traits just to take away the happiness of the people praising this Superior Successor.
• Pungeon Master: Leslie's much like Kara in this regard, except Leslie's team is much more receptive to Leslie's puns, even though they're every bit as bad.
• Ride the Lightning: Livewire can turn into electricity to travel through, and take over electronic devices. She's even escaped through cell phones, as apparently she can travel through wifi.
• Right-Hand Cat: Not normally present, but pictured on the cover of How I Did It sitting her with a fur-on-end cat on her lap.
• The Rival: Leslie's tormenting of targets is far more sophisticated than Doris's, and part of that is Leslie enjoying watching Doris bully others while pushing her to be more extreme and laughing at Doris's annoyance for being called lame. Livewire's not above picking a fight with Giganta either, despite being on the same team.
• Sadist: Nothing's funnier to her than the pain and humiliation of others.
• Shock and Awe: She's an electrically-based villain, like her DC comic book counterparts.
• Technopathy: Livewire generates enough electricity to power Batgirl's scooter and send it chasing after her. Livewire can even make the machine pop a wheelie, somehow.
• Troll: She uses a social media channel to embarrass and bully her victims.
• Villain Song: "A Million Volts," featured in "#ShockItToMe." It's all about how much she loves tormenting people.
