open/close all folders
The Justice Society of America
A precursor to the modern Justice League. While most have only appeared in flashbacks, a few show up in the present day.
In General
- Adapted Out: Many members of their original comic lineup including Hawkman, Hawkgirl, the Spectre, Mr. Terrific, Starman, Black Canary, and Johnny Thunder are absent. None of their present-day members like Atom Smasher, Mr. Terrific II, or Cyclone are around either, and while Stargirl does exist, she's not a member, belonging to a far later generation of heroes.
- Adaptational Wimp: They lack the slowed aging of their comic counterparts and are retired in the present.
- All There in the Manual: Pretty much all the information about them comes from behind the scenes sources, not the show or its tie-in media.
- Demoted to Extra: Unlike the comics, where the team is still active in the present, here they've been long disbanded and only appear in flashbacks.
- The Fellowship Has Ended: Broke up in the 50s and never reformed, unlike the comics.
- The Ghost: Word of God confirms that the Atom/Al Pratt, Hourman/Rex Tyler, and Dr. Mid-Nite/Charles McNider were members but they have never appeared on the show.
- Heroes Unlimited: During World War 2, they expanded their ranks to include every hero operating at the time, becoming the All-Star Squadron. Once the war was over, they went back to just being the Justice Society.
- Old Superhero: The originals, with the surviving members having been around since World War II.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: The fates of Alan Scott, Wesley Dodds, Al Pratt, Rex Tyler, and Charles McNider have never been mentioned.
Doctor Fate (Kent Nelson)
Doctor Fate (Kent Nelson)
Species: Human Magician
Voiced by: Edward Asner
The first man to wield the Helmet of Fate for the Justice Society and later the Justice League.
- Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: He'll remain within Fate's mask until a proper replacement for him is found. Though as of "Misplaced", Nabu has released him to the afterlife.
- Cool Helmet: It's the source of his powers.
- Cool Old Guy: Defiantly snarks at his supervillain captors (one of whom is an uber-powerful Lord of Chaos), takes dying in his stride, speaks out against Nabu seizing bodies to use, and gives Wally some very solid relationship advice.
- Death by Adaptation: Bites the big one in his debut episode.
- Old Superhero: He's well past his prime. It's noted that he's 106 years old.
- Order Versus Chaos: The good doctor works for the Lords of Order.
- Shipper on Deck: He seems to think Wally and Artemis would make a great couple. Turns out he's right on the money.
- Slap-Slap-Kiss: The sort of relationship he evidently shared with his dearly departed wife, and, from how he speaks of her, he wouldn't have had it any other way.Kent: [to Kid Flash] Find your own little spitfire; one who won't let you get away with nothin'!
- Voice of the Legion: Nabu, while possessing a living body.
The Flash I (Jay Garrick)
See Justice League.
Green Lantern (Alan Scott)
Green Lantern (Alan Scott)
Species: Human
- Adaptational Origin Connection: According to Greg, he gets his powers from a GL Corps ring he discovered. This isn't the case in the comics, which generally have had to invent madly to explain why his codename is coincidentally the same as the later Hal Jordan's.
- Imagination-Based Superpower: His ring allows him to generate anything he wants out of light.
Wildcat (Ted Grant)
Wildcat (Ted Grant)
Species: Human
- Badass Normal: He has no powers other than a strong right hook.
- The Cameo: Appeared briefly in #11 of the tie in comic at Kent Nelson's funeral.
The Sandman (Wesley Dodds)
Red Tornado
See Justice League.
Atlantis
Queen Mera
Queen Mera
Species: Atlantean
Voiced by: Kath Soucie
Aquaman's wife. In addition to being reigning queen of Atlantis, she is also in charge of the Conservatory of Sorcery.
- Elemental Powers: Mera has the power to generate electricity from the eel tattoos on her arms or manipulate water to serve any number of uses: water blasts, whips, waves, shields, or water spouts to lift her off the ocean floor.
- Happily Married: In a loving marriage with Aquaman.
- Hot Teacher: Minister of Magic, Headmistress of the Conservatory of Sorcery, and very easy on the eyes.
- Lady of Black Magic: Queen of Atlantis and headmistress of the Conservatory, and able to use magic to take out enemies with powerful electricity and water.
- Ms. Fanservice: For her appearances in Season 1, she wears a midriff baring green bikini and a matching pareo around her waist that compliments her figure and legs well.
- Pregnant Badass: Takes on enemies with her wicked magic despite being with child.
- Royals Who Actually Do Something: Aside from being the Queen of Atlantis, she runs the Conservatory of Sorcery and is one of the head instructors.
- Shaping Your Attacks: Crafts water constructs in the shape of sea creatures, such as massive Combat Tentacles.
- She Is the King: Gains the title "Annax" and "High King" after fulfilling the prophecy of the One True King, both of which are traditionally titles for male rulers. She gets the title of King from the prophecy, while Annax seems to be gender-neutral in Atlantis. (In ancient Greek it's definitely male, with the female form being "Anassa".)
- Significant Green-Eyed Redhead: She's eventually revealed to be the prophesied One True King of Atlantis. Significant indeed!
Topo
Topo
Species: Atlantean
Voiced by: James Arnold Taylor
A classmate of Aquaman's at the Conservatory, who later becomes the Lemurian Prime Minister.
- Cthulhumanoid: This version of Topo, as opposed to being just an octopus, is an Atlantean proper with an octopus-like head.
- Fantastic Racism: The victim of it in the tie-in comic. He's referred to as a "fish head" by the Atlantean purists...
- Mark of Shame: ... who then brand him with a phrase in ancient Atlantean that means "impure."
- Mundane Utility: Uses his Atlantean sorcery for the purpose creating art.
- Rank Up: From a simple classmate in season 1 to the prime minister of a city-state in season 4.
- Smoke Out: He uses a variation using octopus ink in the tie-in comics.
Lori Lemaris
Lori Lemaris
Species: Atlantean
Voiced by: Kath Soucie
A classmate of Aquaman's at the Conservatory, who later becomes the Tritonian General.
- Age Lift: In the comics, Lori was well into adulthood and a love interest for Superman. Here, she’s of an age with the teen sidekicks of Superman's generation instead.
- Ascended Extra: Given a fairly prominent role in the tie-in comic. She later shows up in season 4 as the leader of Tritonia.
- Fantastic Racism: Like Topo, the victim of it.
- Our Mermaids Are Different: To an extent, courtesy of her character designer. They tried to emphasize her aquatic-ness and make her more deliberately fish like, making her tail and movements closer to an actual fish' rather than the dolphin-like traits mermaids are often given.
- Painting the Medium: Her appearance in the show has her casting a translation spell, after which all the spoken Atlantean becomes understandable english for the viewer.
King Nanaue Sha'ark
King Nanaue Sha'ark
Species: Atlantean
Voiced by: James Arnold Taylor
A classmate of Aquaman's at the Conservatory, who later becomes king of Nanauve.
- Adaptational Heroism: His mainstream DCU counterpart is usually a villain, but here, he's (more or less) one of the good guys. Nonetheless, he's the Token Evil Teammate.
- Art Evolution: Between his appearances in the comic tie-in and Phantoms, he is much bulker and his fin is much smaller than before.
- The Conqueror: Downplayed. He annexes parts of other city-states to supplement his own, since climate change is collapsing the food chain and starving them. While he's very smug about it and claims that they deserved it for being weak, it's clear that he's not doing it for glory alone, but to support Nanauve.
- Fantastic Racism: The victim of it like all other less human-like Atlanteans, but he shows traits of it himself, shown most notably when he refers to most other characters as "chum" and looks down on poor Topo for not being a "predator" like himself.
- I'm a Humanitarian: Repeatedly threatens and even attempts to eat other characters.
- Mythology Gag: Quickly antagonizes Superboy, even if they're on the same side. In the comics, King Shark was a recurring foe of Superboy.
- Species Surname: Played with, since his surname sounds like 'shark' to an English-speaking ear, but we have no indication that it is Atlantean for shark specifically.
- Token Evil Teammate:
- Acts like a bully, threatens to eat people, but is generally on everyone's side when they go after the purists. Still, his attempts to take a bite out of their enemies cause some friction.
- When he reappears as an adult he's the meanest and most violent of the Atlantean leaders, but he still cares about Atlantis's overall well-being along with that of his city-state and unlike Nereus doesn't actively antagonize Orin.
Ronal
Ronal
Species: Atlantean
Voiced by: Nolan North
A classmate of Aquaman's at the Conservatory, who later becomes Lord of Crastinus.
- Adaptational Species Change: In the comics, Ronal is a merman himself, and an alien one at that. note
- Does This Remind You of Anything?: He has blond hair, blue eyes, and hates the "impure". Hm.
- Easily Forgiven: Pardoned by Aquaman for his part in Mera's kidnapping, because he turned on Ocean-Master in the end.
- Fantastic Racism: Towards non human-like Atlanteans. He's one of the Purists, seeking to drive the "impure" from Atlantis.
- Shaping Your Attacks: Ronal can also make water constructs as Aqualad and Queen Mera can, such as when he is shown attacking Ocean-Master with one shaped like a barracuda.
- Unwitting Pawn: He and the other Purists were just used by Ocean-Master in order to get at Queen Mera.
Wyynde
Wyynde
Species: Atlantean
Voiced by: Robbie Daymond
- "I do not see the appeal of this surface world… except that you [Kaldur'ahm] are here."
A reformed Purist and Kaldur'ahm's boyfriend in Season 3.
- Anger Born of Worry: In season 4, he starts to worry that Kaldur is putting too much pressure on himself and calls him on breaking his promise to slow down once Orm was caught.
- Ascended Extra: From a member of the Purists with hardly any dialogue and role in the comic tie-in to a recurring character in the show's revival seasons.
- Double Entendre: In "Nautical Twilight", he orders some very strong alcoholic algae for him, Kaldur, and Delphis. Kaldur chides him for always starting with the hard stuff, and Wyynde just replies "Why bother with anything else?" with a wink.
- Heel–Face Turn: He used to be a Purist, but he's apparently changed his opinion by Season 3, now being able to stand at King Orin's side and be Kaldur's boyfriend.
- Once Done, Never Forgotten: Lori certainly hasn't forgotten that he was once a Purist.
- Satellite Love Interest: He's never seen without Kaldur.
The Runaways
In General
- Adaptational Superpower Change: Their powers differ from their Superfriends inspirations in a number of ways.
- Virgil is a downplayed example. Both he and Black Vulcan are Electric Black Guys but Virgil can also use his electricity for Magnetism Manipulation.
- Apache Chief was a Sizeshifter who could talk to animals. Tye can astral project a spectral giant.
- Ed can teleport like El Dorado but lacks his Super-Strength, Telepathy and illusion casting.
- Asami's powers are perhaps the biggest departure. Her Superfriends counterpart Samurai had the power of pyrokinesis, aerokinesis, Invisibility and illusion casting. Asami can generate and control chi energy which manifests as concentric circles.
- Alien Abduction: All of them received their powers after being abducted and experimented on by the Reach.
- Badass Crew: They definitely show signs of becoming one.
- The Big Guy: Tye creates a huge astral form. In "The Hunt" he's referred to as "our big gun".
- Breaking the Fellowship: In the finale, Tye, Ed, and Asami all decide to retire/return home since they were never interested in being heroes. Roy continues to strike out on his own since he conflicted with the Team. Virgil officially joins up with the Team while Ed would wait until Outsiders.
- The Cameo: Although Tye and Asami are still officially retired from superheroics, they're seen on the board of potential reserves in "Ebb Tide" if the fate of the world is at stake. They're also seen watching Nightwing's show in "Rescue and Search".
- Color-Coded Characters: Virgil is blue, Tye is orange, Sam is green, Ed is yellow, and Arsenal is red.
- Die or Fly: Artificially done, but the Reach exposed them to various stresses until their superpowers activated.
- Dysfunction Junction: Virgil's the only one without preexisting issues, and now he's picked up the group issues of not being able to trust anyone or go to anyone for help.
- Fire-Forged Friends: Their first "mission" together as a group, they managed to work rather well together in spite of their inexperience and a language barrier.
- Five-Token Band: Tye is Native American, Virgil African-American, Asami is Japanese, Ed is Argentinian and Arsenal is white. See Younger and Hipper below.
- Hope Spot: While their treatment by the Reach was much worse, immediately after being rescued they are confined within STAR Labs and subjected to grueling physical trials for 14 hours a day.
- How Do I Shot Web?: They slowly develop control over their powers with each appearance, and "The Hunt" sees them capable enough to mount a successful rescue mission with some help from Arsenal.
- The Lancer: Arsenal sets the biggest contrast with Virgil because he's a hothead, a veteran, and none too heroic.
- The Leader: Virgil. The others follow his lead and he does the talking.
- Not Wearing Tights: They are a proto-hero team but they don't think of themselves as such and don't wear costumes.
- Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: A group of four troubled teens who ran away from home and all have issues of their own. Virgil's the only aversion as he was grabbed by accident. They later add Arsenal to their group.
- The Runaway: Tye ran away from his troubled home life and Ed ran away to see his father. However Virgil is an aversion; he was visiting his sister. Asami's circumstances are still unknown.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Subverted when they help the heroes in "Endgame". Virgil actually joins the Team afterward.
- The Smart Guy: Eduardo uses cunning in his teleports. His father is also a Star Labs scientist.
- The Smurfette Principle: They have one female member: Asami. Being that they're all parallels to the ethnic Super Friends, which had no females, she's a genderflipped version of Samurai. As a nod to this, the three boys nicknamed her "Sam." Luthor gave the Boom Tube to her; perhaps he thinks Women Are Wiser?
- Take a Third Option: They refused to join the Team or remain Luthor's pawns at the end of "The Hunt" since both have problems that they want nothing to do with.
- Took a Level in Badass: In "The Hunt", with some coaching from Arsenal, they manage to keep Black Beetle busy for much longer than anyone would think possible.
- True Companions: When Ed's father is in trouble, they all go to help, even though it would mean returning to Star Labs where they were running from in the first place.
- This stretches to Arsenal as well. They rejected the offer to join the team because Arsenal was kicked out. They extend him an offer to join up with them. Ultimately, he goes solo.
- Unwitting Pawn: Of Lex Luthor in "The Hunt". However, once they realize this, thanks to Arsenal explaining it, they break ties with him.
- Wild Card: The Reach, Star Labs, Lex Luthor, and the Justice League have all laid claim to them in the past. They've broken those ties and gone solo. Until Virgil joins the Team.
- Younger and Hipper: All of them are based on the Captain Ethnic characters from Superfriends, only younger and with their more offensive traits removed. The sole exception is Virgil, though he could be seen as a stand-in for Black Vulcan.
Eduardo "Ed" Dorado, Jr.
Designation: A17
Virgil Hawkins (Static)
Designation: A18
Asami "Sam" Koizumi
Asami "Sam" Koizumi
Designation: A19
Species: Metahuman
Voiced by: Janice Kawaye
A Japanese girl who gains chi manipulation powers after her metagene is activated. She can't speak English (and at best a limited understanding when it's spoken to her), so doesn't say much.
- Bilingual Bonus: Except for two words ("no idea"), she only speaks Japanese in "The Runaways". No subtitles either. Improves a bit in her later appearances.
- Catchphrase: "Sumimasen" in all its inflections ("Sorry!" "Excuse me!/?" "Thank you").
- Composite Character: Of Samurai and Crazy Shy Lolita Canary, a Japanese superheroine with a sonic scream and the same Catchphrase.
- Dark and Troubled Past: Implied. She refused to say anything about herself, except her name and nationality. And the season 2 finale revealed that instead of going home, she moved in with Tye and his mom.
- Energy Ring Attack: Asami has the power of Ki Manipulation which generates an energy aura that causes an air disturbance in the form of concentric circles. She can use this power to leap great distances and soften landings. She later displays the ability to fire a concentric circle beam.
- Flat Character: Because of the language barrier, Sam has been the least developed of the runaways, instead being mostly reactive to the situations at hand.
- Gender Flip: In the original Superfriends cartoon, Samurai was a guy.
- Happily Adopted: After "Endgame", Virgil reveals that Sam moved in with Tye and his mom, mostly because the two teens had started a secret relationship.
- The Heart: The only female member and, to an extent, is well-adjusted.
- Heart Is an Awesome Power: When she was only able to launch herself with her chi powers, she made good use of it. This was later subverted when she got the ability to fire beams of chi.
- In a Single Bound: One of the ways she can use her powers is leaping great distances and using the concentric circles she generates to soften her landings.
- In-Series Nickname: Called "Sam" by her friends.
- Ki Manipulation:
Word of God stated that Sam's power is chi manipulation. - Mysterious Past: She is a runaway, but refuses to reveal anything other than her name and nationality.
- Nice Girl: She's willing to help three guys that she has just met.
- Official Couple: Virgil informs that she and Tye become this, and have actually had a thing for a while. Asami even moved in with him and his mom.
- Ramming Always Works: Her initial attack is launching herself at the enemy.
- Silent Bob: Due to the language barrier, she doesn't say much, even in Japanese.
- The Smurfette Principle: The only one of the group who is female, though she was not the only female abductee.
- Steven Ulysses Perhero: She's based on Samurai and the other runaways nickname her Sam.
Tye Longshadow
Tye Longshadow
Designation: A20
Species: Metahuman
Voiced by: Gregg Rainwater
An Apache boy and Jaime's friend from El Paso. After his meta gene is activated, he gains the power to project a spiritual giant around his body. He is based on Apache Chief from Challenge of the Superfriends.
- Abusive Parents: He has a bad relationship with his mom's live-in boyfriend, which is why he ran away from home. His mother was appallingly neglectful. Though in her defense, she seemed to be pretty terrified of said boyfriend as is the case with all real life victims of abuse.
- Astral Projection: He can summon a black and orange Fighting Spirit but needs to put himself in a relaxed state to do so, and must remain calm and focused to maintain it.
- The Big Guy: His powers increases his height and strength. The runaways generally rely on him as their heavy hitter.
- Clipped-Wing Angel: His Astral Projection form is huge, but he's also inexperienced with its use so it's easy for villains to knock it out.
- The Cynic: Tends to look on the sour side, even more so than Ed.
- Disappeared Dad: His father is implied to be deceased.
- Fighting Spirit: Tye has the power to project a spirit giant around his body.
- Glass Cannon: On the one hand, his astral projection power gives him Super-Strength. On the other hand, he shares any pain the projection would, which makes it a lot easier to disable him than one would think. Anything that can get through the projection can also potentially hit him, making him extremely vulnerable since he's a standard human otherwise. Tye seems to have gotten better at handling the pain in "The Hunt", but still gets floored pretty easily when Black Beetle lands a solid hit.
- Icy Blue Eyes: To indicate his somewhat aloof manner and his status as The Cynic. Tye originally had brown eyes, but changed to blue, due to the type of tests The Reach did on him and the others.
- Immune to Bullets: Or lasers, rather. They bounce right off his avatar, though he does admit that the lasers do hurt somewhat.
- It's Personal: He didn't care about heroing, just wanting to escape the institute. Once he learns that his friend Jaime has been taken over by the Scarab, however, he joins Lex Luthor in getting back at the Reach.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: In spite of his cynical and angry nature, Tye is a caring and loyal friend.
- Let's Get Dangerous!: Once Jaime is buried by Red Volcano, Tye focuses and gains control of his powers to get him out.
- Long-Haired Pretty Boy: He has long hair and delicate features.
- Mythology Gag: He's based on Apache Chief from Challenge of the Superfriends, minus the need to say "Inechok" to become a giant, but his last name is Longshadow like the version from Justice League Unlimited (and shares the same voice actor, too!). Also, he really is descended from Apache chiefs of the Mescalero tribe.
- Official Couple: After Tye gives up the superhero life, he and Asami are revealed to have begun a relationship; she even moves in with him and his mom.
- Perpetual Frowner: About 99% of the time Tye wears a scowl on his face.
- Power Incontinence: He once activates his power while dreaming. It's mentioned in the beginning of "The Runaways" that he's the only one out of the four that can't use his power when he wants to. By the end, he's got considerably more control over it.
- Steven Ulysses Perhero: A kid named "Longshadow" who can project a spiritual giant?
- Super-Strength: Summoning his astral form allows Tye to have a drastic increase in strength.
- Synchronization: Harming his avatar causes him pain.
- Tall, Dark, and Handsome: He's the tallest of the Runaways, has long, black hair, and is considered very handsome by his female fan base out-of-universe.
- Tall, Dark, and Snarky: There's also the amount of snark he unleashes from time to time.
Nightwing's Team
Nightwing's Team, the group of heroes who undertake covert ops missions in the third season Young Justice: Outsiders. The initial roster was derived from members of the Team and League, then joined by various newcomers. The group would later disband, with part of the roster (re-)joining the Team while the others and other members of the Team reformed into a publicly known heroic organization, the Outsiders.
In General
Clockwise from top: Tigress, Black Lightning, Superboy, Nightwing, Metamorpho*, Halo, Forager, Geo-Force, Katana*. Not pictured: Cyborg, Terra, Oracle, Sphere, Dr. Helga Jace. Asterisks (*) indicate not members.
- Adaptation Distillation:
- One of the actual Outsiders team from the comics, this team features Black Lightning, Geo-Force and Halo, who were founding members in the comics, and is led by Nightwing, who led the '03 team. Additional members include Superboy, Tigress, Forager, Cyborg and Terra, who were never members in the comics.
- Speaking of which, Terra infiltrating this team as The Mole brings to mind the Teen Titans.
- Cast Herd: Though they come together a lot, the individual members are often grouped together off-mission.
- Nightwing, Superboy and Tigress are most commonly seen with each other, as the former Team members and mentors of the group.
- Geo-Force, Halo, and Forager are the newcomers, all three of them being new to superhero life, thus they stick closely together.
- Black Lightning is most commonly seen with his Replacement Goldfish, Dr. Helga Jace. They're also the two oldest members of Nightwing's Team.
- Family of Choice: In regards to the younger members (Brion, Halo, and Forager), they choose to stick together as they feel they would not fit in with The Team. That being said, by the time of "Influence", they are officially made members of The Team.
- Five-Token Band: They're a pretty diverse group of agents. They each fill a different type of person, some ways mundane and other ways fantastic.
- Nightwing is a White Male Lead.
- Black Lightning is African-American.
- Superboy is a white Half-Human Hybrid clone.
- Tigress is biracial of white/Vietnamese descent.
- Oracle is white and disabled.
- Geo-Force, Terra and Dr. Helga Jace are Eastern Europeans, from Markovia, the former being a (exiled) prince.
- Halo is a Quraci Muslim and very Ambiguously Human.
- Forager is an alien, member of the Bug race from New Genesis.
- Cyborg is also African-American, but also has cybernetics.
- Good Counterpart: They're a network of independent cells receiving covert orders from a shadowy leader (Batman) without most of them even knowing. That makes them sort of the Anti-Light, as Tim puts it.
- History Repeats: The parallels between how The Team was formed and how Nightwing's Team were formed are lampshaded. The difference is that the League decided to overlook the whole "disobeying orders" thing, and the UN would almost certainly not.
- Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: The founding members were with the League or the Team, but resigned at the beginning of Season 3 since Luthor put U.N. sanctions on the League to keep them from doing their jobs. Geo-Force also willingly became a metahuman and joined to stop the trafficking prominent in his country.
- Start My Own: Because the League can't act without UN approval, and neither can the Team, Nightwing's Team form as the less-legal alternative, made up of formed Team and League members with some additional recruits.
- Superhero Speciation: Downplayed.
- There are two Badass Normals, but one is an upclose fighter, the other an archer.
- Two members draw power from MacGuffins, but Halo is a reincarnated Mother Box while Cyborg is fused with a Father Box.
- Two members have an earth-based power set, but while Geo-Force sticks mainly to lava, Terra uses boulders. Of course, the latter being The Mole and not a true member may come into play.
- The Team Normal: Nightwing and Tigress are the two non-powered members of Nightwing's Team. In "Away Mission", they even point it out that meta powers aren't required to be on a superhero team, nor are they a ticket to join, either.
- Two Girls to a Team: Tigress and Halo are the only female agents, and the rest are male. Terra joining as a third female member is a Double Subversion, due to her being The Mole with no actual loyalty to them.

Batman Incorporated
The group of heroes consisting of the former members of the Justice League and the Team (and Metamorpho) who left in protest to the extreme restrictions placed upon the League's ability to help people by Lex Luthor and the UN. Following Black Lightning's election to Chairman of the Justice League, it's members folded back into the League or the Team.
In General
- Adaptation Distillation: Where the Outsiders are the Teen Titans in all but name, Batman Incorporated is just the Bat-Family with a fancy new name.
- Appropriated Appellation: In "Princes All", Jefferson calls Batman's little group "Batman Incorporated" in a mocking tone. It ended up sticking.
- The Fellowship Has Ended: At the end of "Nevermore", when Black Lightning becomes Justice League chairman, Batman agrees to fold Batman Inc. back into the League and the Team, putting them back to where they were at the beginning.
- Start My Own: Batman created this team in protest to the restrictions the UN kept slapping onto the Justice League.

Doom Patrol
In General
The Chief (Dr. Niles Caulder), Mento (Steve Dayton), Robotman (Cliff Steele), Negative Woman (Valentina Vostok), Elasti-Girl (Rita Farr)
"Now wait here, alright? We all have to go on a mission and die!"
Species: Human (The Chief), Metahuman (Mento, Elasti-Girl, Negative Woman), Cybernetically-enhanced Human (Robotman)
Voiced by: Scott Menville (The Chief, Mento), Khary Payton (Robotman), Tara Strong (Negative Woman), Hynden Walch (Elasti-Girl)
A team of superheroes who became active in between seasons 1 and 2, but were then killed in the line of duty. Only Mento and Beast Boy survived that mission; Robotman's head was later recovered and he was revived.
- Adaptation Origin Connection: Rita/Elasti-Girl is a friend of Marie, having befriended her while they starred in Hello Megan! together. In the comics, Marie had nothing to do with the acting industry and thus had no connection to Rita.
- Adapted Out: Similarly to most animated depictions of the Doom Patrol since their depiction in Teen Titans (2003), this incarnation of the team is based primarily on the roster of the original Arnold Drake series (albeit with Larry Trainor/Negative Man substituted with an interpretation of Valentina Vostok/Negative Woman) and eschews nearly every member who was introduced in Paul Kupperberg's run and beyond (an incarnation of Casey Brinke from Gerard Way's run appears, but is depicted as a normal human and an emergency medical technician rather than a comic book character brought to life in addition to having no apparent ties to this continuity's Doom Patrol).
- Ambiguous Situation:
- It's unclear whether Niles Caulder in this continuity follows his original characterization of being the team's benevolent leader or the manipulative sociopath who secretly caused the accidents that created the team in the first place as was established in Grant Morrison's run, as the fact that he's died between the show's first two seasons and we only know the slightest bit about him from Beast Boy's hallucination in "Nightmare Monkeys" leaves no opportunity to explore what Caulder was really like.
- It's unknown if the mission that killed most of the Doom Patrol was anything like the circumstances of Captain Zahl killing them at the end of the original Arnold Drake run or a completely original event, as Greg Weisman's only answer on who was responsible for the Doom Patrol's death was "No spoilers".
- Borrowed Catchphrase: In Doom Patrol Go!:
- Robotman says "Booyah!", the catchphrase of the Teen Titans (Go!) incarnation of Cyborg.
- Likewise, Negative Woman borrows "Whatever." from the Teen Titans (Go!) Raven.
- And of course, the Chief's Avengers Assemble phrase is "Doom Patrol, go!", from yours truly.
- Black Comedy: They all sing an upbeat, colorful song about how they are all going to die gruesome deaths, much to Beast Boy's (and the viewer's) horror.
- Casting Gag: They share their other voices with Beast Boy's fellow Titans from the Teen Titans (2003) animated series and the Teen Titans Go! spinoff.
- Composite Character: In order to fulfill the reference to the Teen Titans roster by having Two Girls to a Team, the line-up replaces Negative Man with his Distaff Counterpart Negative Woman; Phantoms later shows that Negative Woman was not a Gender Flip of Larry Trainor but rather was Valentina Vostok as in the comics (who was a member during the team's storied history, although Larry/Negative Man is the more iconic team member of the two). That said, she sports a female version of Negative Man's Teen Titans (2003) design.
- Dirty Coward: How Gar sees Steve Dayton. The version of Steve Dayton in Gar's hallucination chickened out during the Doom Patrol's ill-fated final mission (which is why he's the Sole Survivor of it).
- Early-Bird Cameo: Rita made a cameo as a main billed actress on Hello, Megan! and thus was a co-star with Gar's mother, Marie.
- Killed Offscreen: All of them except for Gar, Robotman, and Steve died in a mission between Season 1 and 2.
- Leeroy Jenkins: Depicted as willing to rush headlong into danger without taking the precaution of preparing a strategy first in Doom Patrol, Go!, because they died in real life.
- Mythology Gag:
- Beast Boy's hallucination of the team in "Nightmare Monkeys" has them modeled after their depictions in Teen Titans (2003) (albeit with Negative Man replaced with Negative Woman and the Chief being added when he was omitted from that continuity's Doom Patrol) in a style emulating Teen Titans Go! (complete with the characters sharing their voice actors with those of Beast Boy's fellow Titans teammates in the two shows).
- Robotman's present day appearance in "Emergency Dive" is modeled after how he appears in Titans (2018) and Doom Patrol (2019).
- Robotman turning out to survive the demise of the original team by simply having a new body built for him and his efforts to reconnect with Beast Boy take after his resurrection in Paul Kupperberg's run on the Doom Patrol as well as the arc in New Teen Titans where he and Mento teamed up with the Titans to get even with Madame Rouge and General Zahl for killing the rest of the original Doom Patrol.
- Old Shame: Steve Dayton reacts harshly when Gar calls him "Mento" saying "Don't call me Mento". Since Gar and Steve are not on good terms, Gar calls him "Mento" again in spite.
- Parental Neglect: Steve is Gar's legal guardian, but he seems to be using him for his celebrity status and acting career.
- Parental Substitute: Steve and Rita are Gar's adoptive parents, Rita having been a close friend of Marie.
- Posthumous Character: By the time we learn of their existence, they've already been killed except for Mento (with Robotman later being rebuilt and revived after his head was recovered).
- Remember the New Guy?: Chief, Robotman, and Negative Woman first appeared in the Doom Patrol, Go! sequence, in which Rita had to introduce them to Beast Boy. The whole team is already dead by this point as well. Robotman turns up, his head having been recovered and his body rebuilt, for his first proper appearance in Season 4.
- Sole Survivor: As in the comics, Mento was the only member not to die in their original final mission. Subverted later on, as Robotman was only thought dead. His head was eventually recovered and he was rebuilt.
- Two Girls to a Team: Elasti-Girl and Negative Woman are the only two female members.
- Vocal Dissonance: The Chief has Scott Menville's Robin voice, which is rather jarring coming out of a man who is supposed to be 63 years old.
- Vocal Evolution: In the Patrol's original appearance, Khary Payton just simply used his Cyborg voice for Robotman. When Cliff returns in season 4, he's now channeling Brendan Fraser's rendition of the character.
The Phantoms Time Travelers (SPOILERS)
In General
The Legion of Super-Heroes
- Flight: Their rings give them the ability to fly by default.
- Offscreen Moment of Awesome: Not entirely offscreen (we do see a still of it), but they prevented Lor-Zod's attempted assassination of Conner at the U.N.
- Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory: Since they were irradiated by chronitons trying to stop Lor-Zod, they became immune to the new timeline, which allowed them to go back in time to repair it.
- Save This Person, Save the World: The existence of the Legion in their timeline hinges on something Conner will do in ten years, hence why Lor-Zod is trying to kill him and why they traveled back in time to keep him alive.
- Single-Power Superheroes: Coincidentally, in an arc heavily involving Mars, the trio individually have the primary abilities Martians are known for; telepathy, shapeshifting and phasing.
- Trapped in the Past: Their time machine is destroyed while attempting to save Conner's life, stranding them in the past. Subverted, when affter helping stop the Zods in the finale, Brainiac 5 arrives in a time sphere to take them home while also informing them they succeded in restoring the timeline.
Members
Saturn Girl (Imra Ardeen)
Voiced by: Kari Wahlgren
A member of the Legion of Superheroes operating with Phantom Girl and Chameleon Boy.
- Early-Bird Cameo: Was first seen at the very end of season 3 working undercover at Bibbo's Diner.
- Human Aliens: ZigZagged, She looks indistinguishable from an Earth human, which makes sense because, assuming she is similar to her comic version, she is a Titanian, a subspecies of humans with telepathic powers who settled the moon Titan in the 31st Century. So while technically human, being inhabitants of Titan, they are considered aliens in the eyes of humans living on Earth in the present day.
- The Leader: Is somewhere between Types 1 and 2, and is in charge of Phantom Girl and Chameleon Boy.
- Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: She impersonates M'gann to heal Gar's mind, reasoning that he needed help and their recordings of history don't mention the incident one way or the other.
- Telepathy: One of her powers, which she uses to hide the presence of herself and her fellow Legionnaires from Miss Martian, and to covertly heal Beast Boy's mind of a psychic infection while making him perceive her as Miss Martian.
- Vocal Evolution: Kari Wahlgren had first voiced Saturn Girl in Legion of Super Heroes (2006), where she'd given the character an English accent similar to what she'd later give The Enchantress and Emma Frost. Here, Saturn Girl sounds more akin to Starfire, Charmcaster or even one of her other LoSH roles, Triplicate Girl/Duo Dasmel.
Phantom Girl (Tinya Wazzo)
Species: Bgztlian
Voiced by: Kari Wahlgren
A member of the Legion of Superheroes working alongside Saturn Girl and Chameleon Boy. She comes from the planet Bgztl in another dimension.
- Deep Sleep: After transporting herself and Superboy to the Phantom Zone, she's left completely unconscious and Conner can't rouse her. Since everyone is held in biological stasis in the Phantom Zone, it's possible she can't wake up. Fortunately, Saturn Girl quickly uses her telepathy to wake Phantom Girl up right before their connection is severed.
- Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: More than just pale, Tinya's skin is a chalky powder blue, putting extra emphasis on her "phantom" aesthetic.
- Heroic Sacrifice: She attempted one to save Superboy. Subverted since she ends up surviving after successfully phasing them both to the Phantom Zone.
- Hime Cut: Phantom Girl's hairstyle has all the physical characteristics; straight, dark hair, straight bangs, shoulder length sidelocks and long hair at the back. Combined with her chalky skin and black eyes, she looks vaguely similar to a Japanese onryō, albeit a heroic one.
- Intangibility: One of her powers, shifting between her home dimension and the Earth's to allow both herself and anyone she's touching to phase through solid matter.
Chameleon Boy (Reep Daggle)
Voiced by: Dee Bradley Baker
A member of the Legion of Superheroes working with Saturn Girl and Phantom Girl. His homeworld is the planet Durla.
- Aliens Among Us: The most alien looking of the three legionaires. He uses his shapeshifting power to take on a human form in order to conceal himself.
- Voluntary Shapeshifting: Just like the comics, he has the power to transform into pretty much anything he chooses. The Season 4 finale implies that his people are descended from White Martians, since his homeworld of Durla has just been given to M'comm and his followers by Darkseid, and his power to shapeshift is very similar to Martian shapeshifting.
Brainiac 5
Species: Coluoid
Voiced by: Ben Diskin
- According to My Calculations: He figures the trio's actions managed to restore a whole 99.84% of the original timeline. Reep is a little alarmed by the .16% variance, but Bart tells him not to sweat it.
- Amazing Technicolor Population: His skin is olive green, the same as the Collector of Worlds.
- Brick Joke: In the tie-in comics, the Flash managed to mangle some of the Collector's names into "Brainiac". Evidently he took a shine to it.
- Glowing Eyes: Unlike comics Brainy, whose eyes generally look like your average human's eyes, here his eyes glow red.
- Last Episode, New Character: Only makes a full appearance in "Death and Rebirth", the last episode of season 4.
The Green Lantern Corps
Kilowog
Kilowog
Species: Bolovaxian
Voiced by: Kevin Michael Richardson
A Green Lantern from Sector 674 and one of the two sent to the peace summit on New Genesis. He's also a close friend to Hal Jordan.
- Bear Hug: He gives one to Razer, much to the latter's chagrin, though Razer gives him a hug back in a later episode.
- Catchphrase: Calling everybody "poozer."
- Fat and Skinny: When paired up with Tomar Re, though he has more of a Kingpin physique, being a lot more muscle than fat.
- Pig Man: An Alien version of this, just like his other incarnations.
- Team Dad: While the only team member present is Razer, Kilowog still talks to him in this manner, chiding him for falling out of contact (Razer looks a little sheepish at this) and giving him someone to tell his troubles to.
- Toilet Humor: Out of boredom, he relaxes and.. as the automated voice in his ring says, initiates recycling of bio-waste. What makes this more embarrassing is that he did so during a meeting between the Justice League and New Gods, of all times.
Tomar Re
Tomar Re
Species: Xudarian
Voiced by: Dee Bradley Baker
A Green Lantern from Sector 2813, and one of the two sent the peace summit on New Genesis.
- The Atoner: Krypton was part of his sector, and he was good friends with both Jor-El and Zor-El. He has long regretted not being able to save Krypton from being destroyed and vows to make up for it by ensuring that no planet will ever be destroyed under his watch again. He falls through on this by saving New Genesis at the cost of his own life.
- Bird People: An alien version of this, just like his other incarnations.
- Brutal Honesty: When Rocket asks for the Corps' help with metahuman trafficking, Tomar-Re says that they've taken it under advisement, but the Corps polices an entire galaxy and they have several priorities besides that.
- Character Death: He's spitefully killed by Lor-Zod while preventing a Promethean from destroying New Genesis.
- Dies Differently in Adaptation: Lor-Zod kills him, when in the comics he was slain by Goldface during the Green Lantern comic book's tie-in to Crisis on Infinite Earths.
- Fat and Skinny: When paired up with Kilowog, though his companion has more of a Kingpin physique, being a lot more muscle than fat.
- Go Out with a Smile Strange for one with a beak, but nonetheless he dies with a smirk as his ring informs him that New Genesis was saved.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Realizing his ring doesn't have enough energy to both funnel the Promethean energy into space where it can do no harm and power the shield protecting him from Lor-Zod's heat vision, he drops the shield in order to save New Genesis.
- Like Father, Like Son: His son Tomar Tu follows his footsteps as a nice and heroic Green Lantern.
- My Greatest Failure: He always considered his inability to save Krypton as this.
- Uncanny Family Resemblance: His son Tomar Tu is near identical to him, only younger and with green eyes instead of blue.
Forager (Purple)
Forager (Purple)
Species: Bug
Voiced by: Nika Futterman
A female Bug who is a member of a mountain hive. She becomes a Green Lantern after Lor-Zod's attack on New Genesis.
- Badass Creed: Says out loud a variation of the Green Lantern Corps Creed when she obtains Tomar-Re's ring (she replaces pronouns with her Third-Person Person speech):In brightest day, in blackest night!
No evil shall escape Forager's sight!
Let sentients who worship evil's might!
Beware Forager's power, Green Lantern's light! - Heroic Willpower: Purple Forager is able to partially break through the Kaizer-Thrall's Agony Beam upon seeing Red Forager in danger. This act of will draws Tomar-Re's ring to her. Later on, she again resists the Kaizer-Thrall and is only momentarily stunned by Ma'alefa'ak's brain blast. He and the other villains choose to flee through a Boom Tube rather than risk fighting her while disadvantaged by a red sun.
- The Power of Love: Purple Forager's love for Red Forager gives her the will to fight back against the Kaizer-Thrall's tortuous power, and proves her worthy to wield Tomar-Re's Green Lantern ring after his death.
- Third-Person Person: As with all members of her species, Forager does not use pronouns and thus refers to herself in the third-person.
Other Heroes
Guardian II (Jim Harper II)
Guardian (Jim Harper II)
Designation: G05 / A45
Species: Human Clone
Voiced by: Crispin Freeman
Jim Harper is a Cadmus clone, formerly active as the head of security at Cadmus's Washington, D.C. facility as Guardian.
- Anti-Villain: He's not a bad guy at all and just happens to work for the villains, and he barely even knows it.
- Badass Normal: Guardian is proficient in hand-to-hand combat, besting Aqualad in it.
- Big Little Brother: Jim is one of the two clones (the other being Red Arrow) of the original Roy Harper. Between the three, Jim is technically the youngest and looks much older.
- Brainwashed: At the hands of the G-Gnomes, as well as his Cadmus programming.
- Clone Angst: Revealed to be a clone after the Time Skip in the second season. He's taken it a lot better than Roy, accepting that the Kill and Replace policy of Cadmus means the original Roy Harper is dead. note
- Cool Helmet: During his time as Guardian, he wore a golden helmet.
- Heel–Face Turn: The last we see of him in season 1, he's under the control of the Light (and in a way, always was). By season 2, five years later, he has since broken away from the Light and from Cadmus.
- Heroic Build: Zigzagged. He thinks he's part of the good guys, but he has been brainwashed by the Light to do none too heroic things.
- Legacy Character: Succeeds Roy Harper's great-grandfather, whose name was Jim Harper and was the original Guardian.
- Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: He carries a golden heater shield on his wrist.
- Real Men Wear Pink: If a remark from Roy in "Private Security" is anything to go by, Jim apparently enjoys gardening. Revealed in the season 3 finale to be a play on words as he lives in Geranium City. Which just so happens to be the new location of the Cadmus Genomorphs after they relocated to be free of Cadmus and Luthor, resolving a lingering plot thread from season 1 in the process.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Guardian is a calm level-headed figure of authority. Unlike his employer, Dr. Desmond, he tends to be a bit more open minded on certain issues and will seek a peaceful resolution if possible.
- Retired Badass: He retired as Guardian between seasons, working as a security guard alongside the original and Clone!Roy aka Will.
- Shield Bash: Uses his small shields for combat.
- Took a Level in Cheerfulness: After being quite serious and business-minded during the first two seasons, in Outsiders, Jim is much more cheerful, chuckling at Will's jokes and smiling while fighting Brick's thugs.
- Uncanny Family Resemblance: As noted by Superboy, he looks a lot like his "nephew", Roy Harper. Turns out they're both clones of the same person.
Adam Strange
Adam Strange
Designation: A12
Species: Human
Voiced by: Michael Trucco
A scientist for S.T.A.R. Labs who met Sardath and Alanna when he was accidentally zeta-beamed to the planet Rann, coming back to warn the Justice League that for some reason they're persona non grata in outer space.
- Badass Bookworm: A physicist who can handle himself in a fight. Come Outsiders, he's fighting alongside the Raanian army and the Justice League to repel an invasion from Apokolips.
- Badass Normal: No powers, but a combination of wit, know-how and Rannian tech allows Strange to punch above his weight class.
- Boldly Coming: Why hello there, Alanna. Partially flipped on its head, however, in that Alanna is far more eager to jump Strange's bones than the other way around.
- Cloud Cuckoolander: Downplayed; he recites Lewis Carrol to distract the Rannian police into following him and clearly has fun doing it. Beast Boy points out that his last name is Strange after all.
- Interspecies Romance: With Alanna.
- Not Wearing Tights: In his first appearance, he doesn't have his iconic red space jetpack outfit yet. In his second, he gets a version of it.
- Obfuscating Insanity: He starts reciting lines from Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass to distract the Rannian police - who can't even understand a word he's saying, given they don't speak English.
- Shout-Out: "No time to say hello-goodbye I'm late I'm late I'm late!"
Blue Beetle I (Dan Garrett)
Blue Beetle I (Dan Garrett)
Species: Human
Dan Garett was an archaeologist who found the Reach Scarab in 1939 while excavating an ancient temple in Bialya. The Scarab subsequently fused to his spine, granting him a suit of armor with a wide assortment of abilities and weaponry which he used to become the first Blue Beetle.- Adventurer Archaeologist: How Dan found the Scarab in the first place
- Captain Ersatz: The fact that he’s an Adventurer Archaeologist with a hat does bring Indiana Jones to mind.
- Clothes Make the Superman: The Scarab gives Dan his armor.
- Color Character: The very first Blue Beetle.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: Designed to resemble Humphrey Bogart.
- Passing the Torch: To his protégé, Ted Kord.
- Powered Armor: Dan's powers all came from the scarab armor. Dan assumed that the scarab was a mystic artifact and did not realize it was Alien technology.
Green Beetle (B'arzz O'oomm)
Green Beetle (B'arzz O'oomm)
Designation: A16
Species: Green Martian, formerly Reach Scarab-Enhanced
Voiced by: Phil LaMarr
A Martian archaeologist who found a Reach Scarab on his world, but was able to control it thanks to his mental powers. When he hears of the Reach's arrival on Earth, he travels there to fight with the team.
- 11th-Hour Ranger: As of "Intervention," he is now able to genuinely add his considerable power to the Justice League's side in time for their final showdown with the Reach.
- And then his Scarab is destroyed in "Endgame". While he helps the League save Earth, he returns to Mars afterward.
- Adaptive Armor: The Reach Beetle armor.
- Affably Evil: His whole disposition doesn't change even after his outing as The Mole.
- Aliens Steal Cable: All Martians love television, apparently.
- And I Must Scream: He was controlled by his Scarab, fully aware and unable to act, for so long that he can hardly remember actually being in control of himself.
- Anti-Villain: He is being controlled by his scarab and once he is freed he is not evil at all.
- Big Damn Heroes: Rescues Alpha Squad from Black Beetle.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: The Martian that the Scarab is possessing and by manipulating Blue Beetle and "fixing him", he does this to Jaime as well.
- The Bus Came Back: After being completely absent for all of Outsiders, B'arzz returns in the third episode of Phantoms as one of Conner's groomsmen for his and M'gann's wedding.
- Canon Foreigner: Lampshaded when Impulse points out that he's never heard of him. B'arzz was created when the showrunners realized that, if they established that the Reach sent a scarab to every inhabited world after they'd already established that Mars is still fully populated in this universe, it would only make sense for there to be a Martian scarab user.
- Depower: His Scarab is permanently destroyed by Black Beetle in the finale of Season 2. Although he still retains his natural Martian powers, he no longer has the powers of the Scarab armor as a result.
- The Fettered: Again, he has the full powers of both a Martian and a Beetle warrior. Either of those alone is pretty fantastic potential for combat mayhem, but because Green Beetle is being controlled by the cautious, cowardly Ambassador, he isn't as effective as he could be in a straight fight. He's much more effective when quietly manipulating Jaime.
- Genius Bruiser: Has full access to the Scarab's knowledge base.
- Heel–Face Brainwashing: Zatanna uses an ancient spell which originally freed Blue Beetle's Scarab from Reach control to free both Green and Blue Beetle (again).
- Kryptonite Factor: Like all Martians, he is weak to fire. However, his Scarab armor allows him to compensate to an extent.
- Magic Pants: The Scarab armor shapeshifts with him.
- Manipulative Bastard: While acting as The Mole. First he used Miss Martian's guilt over brainwiping Aqualad to manipulate her into letting him "volunteer" the thoughts he wanted her to see instead of properly probing his mind for secrets. Then he uses Jaime's fear of coming under the Reach's control to get access to the inner workings of his scarab.
- The Mole: It turns out he was working for the Reach all along.
- Phlebotinum Rebel: All the power and knowledge of the Scarab, but it works for him instead of controlling him. Or not.
- He finally becomes one for real after Zatanna's spell frees him from the Reach's control, though it only lasts for about one and a half episodes before his Scarab is destroyed.
- Shout-Out: A Martian named B'arzz O'oomm with green armor. Hmm...
- Spanner in the Works: Impulse notes that he is curiously absent from history as he knows it. And Green Beetle turns out to the key factor in setting Blue Beetle on the path of evil...
- Super Power Lottery: On paper, he could potentially be the most powerful character in the show. B'arzz has the same abilities as both M'gann and Jaime, the team's two biggest powerhouses. However, most of his appearances have him bottlenecked by the fact that he's being controlled by the cautious Ambassador, and his scarab is immediately destroyed after the Reach loses hold of him.
- Too Spicy for Yog-Sothoth: Subverted. According to B'arzz, the Scarab wasn't prepared for the unique physiology of a Martian. Turns out it was entirely prepared.
- The Unsmile: He tries to smile to reassure Miss Martian before she probes his mind. The attempt is off-putting, to say the least.
- Voluntary Shape Shifting: He's a Martian, so he can naturally shapeshift.
Secret (Greta Hayes)
Secret (Greta Hayes)
Species: Human (Ghost)
Voiced by: Masasa Moyo
- Adaptational Wimp: In the comics, she's by far the most powerful member of the team, and when she turns evil she literally almost devours the entire human race, and has to be stopped by Tim talking her out of it. Here, she doesn't even seem capable of affecting the physical world.
- Catchphrase: "Secret."
- Cain and Abel: Killed by her brother. Lampshaded by the magic shop across her home being "Abel's House of Secrets."
- Cute Ghost Girl: No hollow cheeks and sunken eyes for this one, Greta was just a cute teenage girl before her brother killed her.
- Dead All Along: Murdered by her brother, Greta's ghost does everything she can to save Artemis and Zatanna from the same fate.
- Demoted to Extra: A main character in the Young Justice comics, she appears for all of a single episode in the series.
- Ethereal White Dress: She's a ghost who is fittingly dressed in whiteish clothing.
- Information Wants to Be Free: The unfinished business that kept Greta Hayes from moving on into the afterlife was her need to make it known that her brother Billy had murdered her.
- In the Hood: She's dressed in a light brown hoodie and leggings which echoes her appearance in the comics.
- Line-of-Sight Name: Taken from a faulty neon sign across the street from her home, Artemis thinks it's the last thing she saw before dying.
- Monster Brother, Cutie Sister: A traditional example, while her brother is an utter psycho bent on murdering people for funsies Greta spends her undeath trying to rescue his would be victims.
- Morality Chain: Her brother Harm killed her to eliminate all love from his life, making him "pure".
- Our Ghosts Are Different: Looks like a normal teenage girl with no signs that she was even dead. Seemingly intangible and can teleport but can interact with the physical world by concentration.
- Pokémon Speak: "Secret" seems to be the only word she can say.
- Quieting the Unquiet Dead: Greta finally goes when Zatanna promises that she and Artemis will ensure she gets a proper burial; the only reason she could appear and aid them was that Billy had improperly buried her in their backyard.
Isis
"Isis"
Species: Human Magician (presumed)
A superheroine with magical abilities.
- Animal Motifs: Scarabs, much like the goddess she takes her name from. Her clothing has numerous scarabs on or in their design, and her magic portals are shaped like them.
- Hero of Another Story: A magic wielding hero who has enough of a profile to be seriously considered for Justice League membership.
- Mysterious Past: When, where and how she got her abilities is as yet unclear.
- No Name Given: Is not identified either by her sobriquet or her given name, though the former might have something to do with the real life group that also goes by that name.
- One-Steve Limit: There's also the goddess Isis, who showed up to help purge the Green Beetle's Reach programming.
- Thinking Up Portals: She can create magical portals.
Khalid Nassour
Khalid Nassour
Current Affiliation: Sentinels of Magic
Species: Human Magician
Debut: Episode 82 ("Odnu!")
Voiced by: Usman Ally
One of Zatanna's students, and the great-nephew of Kent Nelson. He studies both magic and medicine to help people in different ways.
- Combat Medic: He's in medical school and studying magic to fight, so he's this by default, but he also knows some healing magic.
- Forced Sleep: Inflicts this on Teekl as a way to disable Klarion.
- God Before Dogma: He's a devout Muslim who practices sorcery because he sees it as a way to help people. His mother disagrees, but his father accepts and even encourages it. It helps that he uses his own natural magic as opposed to getting it from another entity, as the former is much less taboo in Islam than the latter.
- Green Thumb: He can use magic to make a tree move to bind an opponent.
- Magic Versus Science: His mother wants him to give up magic and devote himself to medical school, his father wants him focus more on magic so Khlaid can honor his magical heritage and become a hero like Kent, even if it means giving up medical school. Khalid wants to study both.
- Not His Sled: Comic Khalid is the most recent person to become Doctor Fate. That's not quite what happens to him in the show.
- Training the Gift of Magic: Inherited magic from his mother, and studies under Zatanna so he's able to use it.
Phantom Stranger
The Phantom Stranger
Species: Unknown
Voiced by: D.B. Woodside
A mysterious figure that appears to both Vandal Savage and Zatanna to spur them to mitigate the chaos caused by the arrival of the Chaos Lord, Child, on Earth.
- Badass Longcoat: He even does dramatic flourishes with it over people to teleport them.
- Big Good: Seems to be playing this role for Zatanna's arc in Phantoms, nudging both her and even Vandal Savage into action to stop the destruction being caused by the arrival of Child and her attempts to banish Klarion for his failures.
- Cryptically Unhelpful Answer: As per tradition, he's prone to these. Both Vandal and Jason Blood complain about his habit of avoiding straight answers.
- Noodle Incident: Vandal has clearly encountered him before and has history with him, but exactly how they met is unclear. The same can be said for Jason Blood.
- Race Lift: This version of the Phantom Stranger appears outwardly to be a black man, like his voice actor.
- Stealth Hi/Bye: Pulls a 'bye' on Vandal and a 'hi' on Zatanna, thanks to his teleportation abilities.
- Teleportation: Is capable of this, seemingly both silently and instantaneously. By flourishing his coat he can send away other people, potentially both without him (as seen with Zatanna and Etrigan) and/or in groups.
- The Watcher: Thus far seems to be the most omniscient entity in the show, considering that he is aware of the movements of the previous contenders for the title, the Lords of Chaos and Order, and is making moves to counter the destruction being caused by the squabbling of the former, using agents of the latter such as Zatanna and Doctor Fate (the latter by way of Vandal Savage, no less).
Jason Blood
Jason Blood
Species: Human Magician
Voiced by: David Shaughnessy
A London-based magician, who finds himself visited by the Phantom Stranger and Zatanna's proteges, who have need of his... 'friend.'
- By the Power of Grayskull!: As per usual, he summons Etrigan with the now-iconic rhyming incantation.
- Cursed with Awesome: He can, on command, transform into/summon a demon who is bound to help. The experience isn't pleasant.
- Don't Touch It, You Idiot!: He has to repeatedly admonish Mary from touching several of the numerous powerful magical objects he has on display, to the point he eventually tells her in exasperation that pretty much everything is powerful and shouldn't be touched.
- Knight in Sour Armor: He isn't exactly thrilled when the Phantom Stranger informs him that Etrigan is going to be needed for the upcoming battle with Child, but he complies nonetheless.
- Painful Transformation: His transformation into Etrigan both warps his body and seems to set him on fire, and he lets out a cry of pain after completing the incantation to summon him.
Etrigan
Etrigan
Species: Demon
Voiced by: David Shaughnessy
A battle-loving, rhyme-speaking demon, bound within the body of Jason Blood.
- Adaptational Jerkass: This version of Etrigan, in contrast to several recent animated depictions, doesn't give a damn about humanity or innocents being killed in the wake of Child's battle with Klarion, and only helps because he's bound to by the magic tying him to Jason Blood.
- Blood Knight: Despite his reluctance in helping, he throws himself eagerly into fighting Child and seems quite satisfied when he believes he's defeated her.
- Breath Weapon: Can spew a jet of fire that can reduce a body to a singed skeleton in seconds. Unfortunately for him, this is only a mild inconvenience for Child.
- Ear Fins: Par for the course for Etrigan, and this design is no different.
- The Fettered: Was bound by his half-brother, Merlin, to help Jason Blood's allies when summoned, even if he doesn't particularly want to.
- Giggling Villain: An Anti-Hero variant. Much of his dialogue is punctuated by a decidedly evil-sounding cackle.
- Rhymes on a Dime: As usual for Etrigan, though this depiction isn't forced or expected to rhyme, as he does speak the occasional normal sentence.
Razer
Razer
As a Blue Lantern
As a Red Lantern
Wielding both Red and Blue rings
Species: Volkregian
Voiced by: Jason Spisak
A former Red Lantern, and an old friend of Hal Jordan and Kilowog's.
- Adaptational Attractiveness: Since Razer spends the majority of his appearance here with his hair showing, as opposed to it being constantly covered in Green Lantern: The Animated Series, he looks all the better for it.
- Adaptational Badass: In both GLTAS and regular comics, the blue light of hope diminishes the power of rage, so that using one prevents you from effectively using the other. The fact Razer here can use both is a major power boost beyond either source.
- Canon Welding: His storyline picks up some time after where it left off in his show of origin.
- Deadpan Snarker: Razer's wit is drier than the desert. He immediately compares Kilowog's hugs to eternal torment and sarcastically thanks Metron for thinking his hope would last longer than it did.
