The League of Freedom
Titanium Rex
Titanium Rex
Voiced by: Bryan Cranston
The elderly, beleaguered leader of the team. Tries to keep them financially above water, while dealing with their general idiocy.
- The Casanova: Rex really gets around. He's slept with the wives of American Ranger, Dr Devizo and Dr Gizmo, the latter on the Moon, and apparently had forty years of regular hook ups with his arch enemy Frau Mantis. It's also implied that he's slept with so many other women that he can't remember them all.
- Clark Kenting: Back when he had his Gurman identity, his disguise primarily consisted of glasses and a rhinestone glove to cover his gauntlet, which he lampshades as a testament to human stupidity in how effective it was.
- Fatal Flaw: He's incredibly promiscuous. A lot of problems he faces are the results of him sleeping with the wrong person.
- A Father to His Men: He tries to act as a role model to the others. When faced with the choice of firing Saturn, he refused to do so even when he fully acknowledges his uselessness. Zigzagged, however, as he apparently never bothered to bring Ranger up to date over the decades he missed out on, and apparently views Jewbot and Cooch as his property, rather than his teammates.
- Flying Brick: As befitting a Superman Substitute.
- His Name Really Is "Barkeep": Titanium Rex is his actual Subtopian birth name.
- The Leader: Has been the head of the team since he emerged from Subtopia.
- Long-Lived: In their natural environment Subtopian longevity is fortified by their proximity to the magnetic forces of Earth's core. On the surface Rex's aging process turns out to be drastically accelerated, to the point that Subtopians hardly know what aging is.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: A fair amount of the league’s problems can be attributed to Rex's actions. Abandoning Omega Ted in a misguided attempt to find Ranger and forgot the mission entirely, leading to his death.
- Old Superhero: Despite losing a step or two with age, he's still a Flying Brick capable of beating most villains up.
- Only Sane Man: Not consistently, but he's the most solid tether to reality the team has.
- Porn Stache: Had one during the League's "Disco Era".
- Secret Identity: Back in the 70s he had one in the form of Mel Gurman, a famous photographer known for his affairs with his models (one of which is Saturn's mom). He eventually killed off the identity due to being sickened with the deviancy of Gurman.
- Superman Substitute: He's a clear Superman parody, with the only differences being the metal fist and the fact that he comes from below the Earth as an adult rather than from outer space as an infant.
Black Saturn
Black Saturn
Voiced by: Tucker Gilmore
A rich, spoiled idiot and general loser of the team. His only power is the money he gets from his parents.
- Abandoned Catchphrase: The earlier episodes had him constantly insult people he didn't like by calling them "butt babies", which was a practice phased out by season three.
- Abusive Parents: In the Summer Vacation Special, it's implied his parents attempted to drown him when he was a child.
- Ambiguously Bi: He's interested in women for the most part, but isn't too shocked to see Lex assume a male form after he had been sleeping with her and he later has interactions with the Groaner where their relations as hero and nemesis are overt allegories for a gay relationship. While he is aghast in "Back to Black to the Future" after finally hearing that his future self is married to the Groaner, he comes to accept being a couple with him in "Optimo Rex", only to learn that the Groaner has a girlfriend by then.
- Batman Parody: He's essentially Batman if he was a spoiled manchild who lacked any skill or competence as well as not being independently wealthy.
- Butt-Monkey: He's prone to being beat up, injured, insulted, and humiliated.
- Characterization Marches On: In the pilot and the first few episodes, while still having moments of his infamous spoiled and bratty attitudes, he was portrayed as relatively grounded and competent at being a hero and was explicitly stated by Rex to be second-in-command of the team. These positive traits quickly vanished in favor of playing him up as The Load.
- Crimefighting with Cash: A parody; he relies on his parents' handouts as his source of money.
- Dating Catwoman: Tries to invoke this with a Catwoman expy but is too emotionally needy and sexually unsatisfying for her to want to maintain a relationship.
- Deadly Disc: His Rings Of Saturn. Which are more monogrammed Frisbees than anything.
- Irony: Desperately wants to be the brooding, dark superhero. Despite being prone to more emotional outbursts than a teenage girl.
- The Load: He is easily the most worthless and incompetent of the team and consistently causes far more trouble than anything. Rex is even encouraged by a future version of Saturn to boot him off the team.
- Manchild: Has all the mental maturity of a teenager, despite being at least past the age for attending college.
- Miles Gloriosus: In line with the above he constantly boasts of his skill and willingness to confront villains but is largely pathetic against real threats.
- Upper-Class Twit: Has never held an actual job in his life, and does the superhero thing solely cause it keeps him away from one.
Cooch
Cooch
Voiced by: Heidi Gardner
A housecat, evolved into a humanoid cat person by an evolution ray. Acts like you'd expect a cat to: Dismissive, impulsive and easily distracted.
- Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Has the attention span of a cat. That is to say, none at all.
- Brutal Honesty: Cooch does not mince her words.
- Cat Girl: Justified, since she was evolved from an actual house-cat.
- Cloudcuckoolander: She frequently demonstrates bizarre behavior and beliefs, most notably her obsessive hatred of leprechauns.
- Expy: To Tigra and other Cat Girl superheroes.
- Humanlike Animal Aging: Averted. She acts like a young adult human, but she's five years old, which is accurate for a cat.
- Interspecies Romance: Her and Brad knock boots throughout season 1.
- Ms. Fanservice: Surprisingly averted. Despite being an attractive, in-shape cat person, everyone finds the idea of doing her creepy. Except Brad, Chet, Robo-Dino and Buster Nut, anyway.
- Never Learned to Read: Justified, in that she was once an ordinary cat, so there was no need to. Forced to (successfully) defy this due to a stipulation in league regulations.
- Unfortunate Names: Her first meeting with Titanium Rex in "My Cousin Kitty" shows Rex to find it off-putting that her owner gave her a name that is slang for the female genitalia. He offers to have her name changed, but Cooch insists on sticking with the name she's got.
- Uplifted Animal: Revealed in a flashback in "My Cousin Kitty" that Cooch was once an ordinary housecat until she got hit with Dr. Deviso's evolution ray during a fight with Titanium Rex.
Brad
Brad
Voiced by: Tom Root
Once a regular junkie, turned into a super-strong one when he received a potent Super-Soldier type serum. Reluctantly shanghaied into joining the team, he balances out his hero duties with getting a fix.
- Aerith and Bob: His name is pretty standard next to the rest of the team.
- Amazing Technicolor Population: His unusual pink skin-tone is remarked upon several times.
- Ambiguous Situation: When Cooch is offered a wish by the Leprechaun King in "The Long Chaun", she takes the opportunity to wish that Brad was brought back to life, which doesn't work. It initially indicates that resurrecting Brad is beyond the Leprechaun King's power, but Cooch later suggests that the wish didn't work because Brad could actually still be alive. It is never explained which reason for the wish not working is correct.
- Baritone of Strength: He has a very deep voice and has the power of super strength.
- The Big Guy: Fills out the role of the hulking, muscle guy on the team.
- Erudite Stoner: Brad can be highly philosophical, so long as he's sufficiently blazed.
- Fatal Flaw: His addictive personality. Brad would likely be a highly effective and professional superhero if it wasn't for the fact he can barely function without drugs.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Sacrifices himself in the final episode of season 1 to stop Devizo.
- HULK MASH!-Up: He's basically a drug-themed version of the Hulk, albeit more articulate than most examples.
- Immune to Drugs: Brad has a super-human (Even before the serum) tolerance to drugs. It takes something really potent to send him off into highness.
Robobot/Jewbot
Robobot/Jewbot
Voiced by: Zeb Wells
Team robot/brains. Has an existential crisis in the first episode, and proceeds to explore his humanity. Adopting the religion of his creator in the process.
- Become a Real Boy: Is turned into a naked and bald human in "The Long Chaun".
- Brutal Honesty: Having been programed to be honest, it's difficult for him to say the right words.
- Character Death: The series ends with him being destroyed.
- Creator Cameo: Zeb Wells co-created the show.
- Deadpan Snarker: Being an emotionless robot, his jokes pretty much come off as this.
- Department of Redundancy Department: "Robo" and "bot" are both short for "robot".
- Do-Anything Robot: He is built with a bunch of gadgets and is competent enough to fulfill just about any job needed of him.
- Expy: To robot superheroes like the Vision and Red Tornado who want to understand what it's like to be human.
- Flawed Prototype: Even though he functions well as a superhero, he's technically this. He was designed to be a robot soldier with only enough empathy in order to distinguish between friend and foe. Unfortunately for the project directors, Robobot's empathy chip performs a little too well and he refuses to outright kill his targets (when first activated and being shot at by a mannequin with a machine gun, his first reaction was to try acting like a counselor and then hug the thing). The project was scrapped and Agony tricked Rex into "accepting" Robobot as a superhero for the league.
- Informed Judaism: Even Jewbot himself kind of forgets the whole Jewish thing after a while. Eventually, he drops the whole thing completely and goes back to being just Robobot.
- Not So Stoic: While his voice tends to be mostly monotone, sometimes his real emotions will shine through.
- Religious Robot: He adopts Judaism after learning his creator's name was Goldstein out of a desire to become more human. He eventually drops it after learning that she's actually a Scientologist.
- Robot Buddy: To whoever likes him the most that episode.
- The Smart Guy: A super-smart (But sometimes naive) member of the team.
American Ranger
American Ranger
Voiced by: Keegan-Michael Key
Vet of WW2, and former second-in-command of the team. Recently released from a "Time Tunnel" (What he calls the stasis chamber he was in) he finds himself trying to adjust to the bizarre new time period he's awoken in.
- Captain Patriotic: He is a parody of nation-inspired superheroes and takes Eagleland a bit too far at times.
- Crosses the Line Twice: Some of the things he and Kid Victory did during the war count as war crimes today. He's keen that no one finds out about them.
- Deliberate Values Dissonance: Ranger is a product of his time. A mildly sexist, slightly racist, all the way homophobic product of his time.
- Expy: To Captain America, being a patriotic-themed hero who fought in WW2 and who then spent the next seventy years in stasis.
- Fish out of Temporal Water: Never totally grows out of it, but is shown acclimating however slowly to modern society.
- The Lancer: Despite his dated world views, he's still Rex's dependable #2.
- Large Ham: As a result of being voiced by Keegan-Michael Key.
- Politically Incorrect Hero: His main trait is that due to being severely out of touch with modern values, he is bigoted towards minorities and women, though never maliciously so.
- Screams Like a Little Girl: On occasion when Ranger sees something disturbing or in pain.
Lex Lightning
Lex Lightning
Voiced by: Jillian Bell
The bastard spawn of Titanium Rex. Arrives at the mansion, hoping to bond with her pops and join the team.
- Action Girl: All the kickassery of Rex, with the youth to make it hurt.
- Catchphrase: She pronounces "OMG" as "Oh Em God", fully pronouncing the final word.
- Expository Hairstyle Change: In Season Two, she switches to a ponytail.
- Gender Bender: Lex can switch between male and female gender, though she primarily uses her female identity.
- Half-Human Hybrid: Half-Subtopian, half-human. Half insect person.
- Heel–Face Turn: At the end of Season two, she becomes a proper hero and takes up the name "Titanium Lex".
- Sensible Heroes, Skimpy Villains: Averted. Her post Face–Heel Turn costume covers more than her regular outfit.
- Walking Spoiler: Her true role doesn't come to light until the end of Season One.
Zenith
Portia Jones/Zenith
Voiced by: Yvette Nicole Brown
Ex-member of the team, brought back in after the death of Brad and betrayal of Lex. Portia becomes the bombastic Zenith when she wears a mystical piece of jewelry.
- Expy: Surprisingly not to Wonder Woman but rather to Captain Marvel but with a hint of Thor. Zenith describes herself as a goddess who is "Thunderbound" to the mortal Portia Jones, somewhat like Captain Marvel and Billy Batson, but she regards herself as a completely different person, somewhat like Thor did when he shared his existence with Dr Donald Blake, though she does share Wonder Woman's origin of being from an all female utopia.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: Her civilian identity is an Oprah parody, complete with giving her audience random gifts.
- Older Than They Look: Portia has barely aged a day since her League time in The Disco Era.
- Power Echoes: Zenith has an echoy effect to her voice.
- Put on a Bus: After almost destroying the world, Zenith is confined to her realm, meaning Portia can't transform. At the end of Season 2, she leaves the mansion for good.
- Sixth Ranger: To the effect she fills two vacancies left by Brad and Lex.
The Injustice Club/League of Freedom West
Doctor Devizo
Doctor Devizo
Voiced by: Chris Pine
Criminal mastermind. Has never met a prison he can't escape, and proves to be a major thorn in the League’s side.
- Alliterative Name: His first name is eventually revealed to be Donald, so his forename, surname and title all start with D.
- Amazing Technicolor Population: Inexplicably has light blue skin and darker blue hair.
- Big Bad: Though he only comes along in the final episodes of season 1, he quickly becomes this.
- Cardboard Prison: No prison has ever held him for more than a year. The League’s holding cells fare no better.
- Composite Character: He physically resembles The Joker and even talks a lot like Mark Hamill's rendition of the character, but his role as a mad scientist and Arch-Enemy of the Superman Substitute makes him partially one for Lex Luthor.
- Early Installment Character-Design Difference: His teeth in the first season stand out from other characters' teeth by being very small and visibly separate in addition to having a visible gumline. By season two, his gums are still visible, but he now has a Tooth Strip like most of the other characters do.
- Evil Former Friend: He actually used to be in the League of Freedom, serving as an inventor and scientist, and was a close personal friend of Rex until Rex slept with Devzo's wife. She divorced him and he became a supervillain out of grief.
- The Chessmaster: His only real power is his super intellect. And it's doubly effective, considering the League is 90% composed of idiots.
- Near-Villain Victory: He nearly nukes the entire world in the season 1 finale. He's undone by the long timers for everything to work.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: As seen to the left.
- Yellow Eyes of Sneakiness: Oddly only his right eye has yellow sclera.
The Groaner
The Groaner
Voiced by: Zeb Wells
Joker to Black Saturn's Batman. A skull-headed clown, who revels in terrible puns.
- Affably Evil: He's actually leagues nicer than so-called hero Black Saturn.
- Berserk Button: Doesn't like it went people explain his jokes.
- Enemy Mine: Willing joined Brad and Cooch to raid Opto Corp due to them being responsible for his skull-headed disfigurement.
- Even Evil Has Standards: When Black Saturn calls him to replace the Groaner actor at the titular pizzeria in "The League of Cheesedom", he is disgusted when he sees that Black Saturn's revised script has him claim to have drugged the pizza so he can molest the children after they've passed out.
- Fingore: Black Saturn cuts off one of his fingers during season 1.
- Meaningful Name: The jokes he tells are real groaners that very few people in-universe actually find funny.
- Practically Joker: He's a Joker parody in that he's a clown-themed nemesis to the resident Batman parody, though more of an Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain in the scheme of things.
- Skull for a Head: Due to a chemical accident at his last show as a normal party clown.
- Start of Darkness: Was once just a normal party clown specializing in prop comedy. When performing for a business function at Opto Corp, an accident rendered him the skull-headed villain we know today. Details are sketchy because Brad and Cooch didn't care to listen to his backstory.
- Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Although admittedly a low-level criminal, the Groaner is still met with relative indifference by the public, freely going shopping and ordering food at restaurants without causing a panic, despite his having a skull for a face. Lampshaded in one episode, where he has to barge his way through a crowd of people, and says that his Skeletal face SHOULD mean that people should just know to get out of his way.
- Villainous Harlequin: He's a clown-themed villain whose crimes for the most part are relatively low-level.
Johnny Rabdo
Johnny Rabdo
Voiced by: Tony Cavalero
A villainous fitness instructor.
- Jerk Jock: He's physically fit and a huge jerk.
- Verbal Tic: Has a habit of making puns involving the word "ream".
Robo-Dino
Robo-Dino
Voiced by: Chris Pine
A sapient Tyrannosaurus Rex with mechanical arms, who has fought with Titanium Rex over the use of his name.
- Never Learned to Read: He admits at one point that he doesn't know how to read.
- One-Steve Limit: He used to also be named Titanium Rex, but lost the lawsuit and is forced to instead use the codename Robo-Dino, which he hates.
- T. Rexpy: He's a sapient Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Chet
Chet
Voiced by: Seth Green (season one), Zeb Wells (season three)
One of the Omega Pets, a bulldog who ends up becoming more humanoid after being hit by the same evolution ray that changed Cooch.
- Defeat by Modesty: The first season finale has him leave the fight after he is made more humanoid by the evolution ray, realizing that he now has his penis hanging out. Subsequent appearances have him wearing pants.
Buster Nut
Buster Nut
Voiced by: Tom Root
A sapient and perverted squirrel, who is another one of the Omega Pets.
- Casanova Wannabe: He won't shut up about how much he wants to bang women and has made several unsuccessful passes at Cooch.
- Punny Name: A play on "bust a nut", which is slang for ejaculation and very fitting considering his perviness.
Government Employees & Civilians
Sgt. Agony
Sgt. Agony
Voiced by: Keegan-Michael Key
A supervisor for the League of Freedom who likes to do whatever he can to make things hard for them.
- Artificial Limbs: His arms are robotic prosthetics.
- Expy: Is overtly based on Marvel's Nick Fury, particularly his depictions in the Ultimate Marvel continuity and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
- Eyepatch of Power: Much like the character he is based on, he wears an eyepatch.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: As unreasonable as he is towards the League of Freedom, he is a good guy and sometimes shows that he cares for them.
- Obstructive Bureaucrat: His usual role is to be a paper-pusher making things needlessly difficult for the League of Freedom.
Other Villains
Mr. Skibumpers
Mr. Skibumpers
Voiced by: Jim Parsons
A reality-warping villain from another dimension who is trapped in the form of a puppet and can only be freed when his hat is put back on his head.
- Expy: Being a reality-warper from another dimension, he's a blatant parody of Superman villain Mr. Mxyzptlk, with the only difference being that he is beaten by being tricked into willingly removing his own hat rather than saying his own name backwards.
- Jackass Genie: Titanium Rex brings up that whenever Mr. Skibumpers grants wishes, they don't turn out well. One particular example is hinted when Titanium Rex rebukes Mr. Skibumpers for granting a hero called Captain Elastic's wish for a huge penis by creating a gigantic rooster, implying that Captain Elastic made the mistake of saying "cock".
- Reality Warper: He can alter reality to do whatever he wants.
- Villain Song: He tries to sing a villain song in the special, but Jewbot forces him to skip most of it.
