DC Animated Universe/Characters/Justice League

A list of characters in the DCAU who first became prominent in Justice League and Unlimited.

Superman
"ALTER EGO: Kal-El/Clark Kent Voiced By: George Newbern"

See here for more info.

Batman
"I'm not really a "people person". But when you need help - and you will - call me. ALTER EGO: Bruce Wayne Voiced By: Kevin Conroy"

See here for more info.

Wonder Woman
"Hera, give me strength! ALTER EGO: Diana, Princess of Themyscera Voiced By: Susan Eisenberg"

The proverbial "stranger in a strange land." In the DCAU, she defied her mother's admonition to leave matters of Man's World alone, at the time the Imperium were attacking, and stole her outfit from Athena's temple before venturing out in response to the Martian Manhunter's telepathic summons.
 * Action Girl: Although whether she's as hot-blooded as Hawkgirl is debatable.
 * All Girls Want Bad Boys: Okay, well, Batman's not bad per se, but then again, can you blame Diana for wanting the likes of him?
 * Artificial Human: The series goes with her Silver Age origin, where Hippolyta sculpted the infant Diana out of clay. This is hinted at in "Maid of Honor" where Princess Audrey teases Diana about having "feet of clay," to which Diana replies, "You have no idea."
 * Badass Princess
 * Boobs of Steel
 * Breast Plate: Her Chest Insignia, which is designed to resemble two W's. Also see the trope immediately below.
 * Brought To You By The Letters WW
 * Cool Plane: Her invisible jet, later in the series.
 * Determinator: Oh, yes. Just watch her fight against Mongul—he's thrashing her all across the Fortress of Solitude, yet she still refuses to stay down even when it becomes clear that she'll die if she suffers any more punishment.
 * Does Not Like Men: Traces of it showed up here and there throughout the early episodes, with "Fury" being one of the more noteworthy examples. In her case it was excusable, since she'd grown up on an island with no men, and she did get Character Development.
 * Et Tu, Hawkgirl?: At first...
 * Everything's Better with Princesses
 * The Exile: After "Paradise Lost".
 * Flying Brick: She's able to go toe-to-toe with Superman.
 * Hot Amazon: Bruce Wayne seemed to enjoy watching her kick ass in "Maid of Honor".
 * Impossible Hourglass Figure
 * Improbable Weapon User: On one occasion she used her tiara as a Precision-Guided Boomerang.
 * Jumped At the Call
 * Knight Templar: On at least two occasions, someone has had to stop her from subverting the Thou Shalt Not Kill maxim (The Flash prevents her from killing Toyman in "Hereafter," and J'onn stops her from killing a random crook and later calls her out on it in "Hawk and Dove").
 * New Powers as the Plot Demands: A variation of this happens in "The Balance":.
 * Oh My Gods: "Great Hera!" A serial offender, that's pretty much her Catch Phrase.
 * Parodied by Flash in the first part of "The Savage Time": "Great Jumpin' Hera!"
 * One-Gender Race: Themyscera.
 * Politically-Active Princess: Only in the final season.
 * Rebellious Princess
 * Requisite Royal Regalia: Her tiara.
 * Royal Brat: In early episodes. It caused Green Lantern to address her as "princess" in a decidedly unflattering manner at times.
 * Royals Who Actually Do Something
 * Statuesque Stunner: As with any other adaptation, stands just inches below Batman and Superman.
 * Super Reflexes: Bullets-and-bracelets, anyone?
 * Super Strength
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl: Girly Girl to Shayera's Tomboy.
 * With Kasnia's Princess Audrey (who in this case is the Girly Girl), Diana's the Tomboy.
 * Transformation Sequence: In "To Another Shore," she displays the ability to transform from civilian attire into her Wonder Woman outfit by spinning in place for a few seconds.
 * Unresolved Sexual Tension: With Batman, much to her frustration.
 * Victoria's Secret Compartment
 * Vitriolic Best Buds: With Shayera.
 * You Can't Go Home Again: In "Paradise Lost," for violating Themyscera's edict forbidding men to be brought there. It's eventually revoked out of necessity in "The Balance."
 * You Can't Go Home Again: In "Paradise Lost," for violating Themyscera's edict forbidding men to be brought there. It's eventually revoked out of necessity in "The Balance."

Green Lantern
"We all need to be held accountable. We have too much power not to be. ALTER EGO: John Stewart Voiced By: Phil LaMarr"

Hard-nosed and no-nonsense when first introduced, John Stewart had been patrolling deep space as a Green Lantern for 10 years prior to the start of the series. According to the series' promotional info, because of his by-the-book approach to super-heroics, he tended to treat his fellow Leaguers like well-intentioned rookies. Between "Starcrossed" and the beginning of Unlimited, he shaved his head bald and began sporting a goatee. "Flash: Hey, we've both got a Martian's phone number on our speed dial. I think I deserve the benefit of the doubt here."
 * Arbitrary Skepticism: A particularly jarring example early in the series, in "The Brave and the Bold," where he expresses disbelief at Flash's story about a talking gorilla (Solovar). Flash, quite justifiably, calls him out on it.

"Green Lantern: (surprised to see Shayera again) Shayera? Shayera: (Beat) Hate the beard."
 * Badass Creed: You know the one.
 * Badass Normal: During "The Savage Time," when his ring's run out of juice, his previous skills at hand-to-hand combat and weapons usage from his time in the Marines serve him in good stead.
 * Bald Black Leader Guy: Several times in Unlimited.
 * Barrier Warrior: A frequent defensive use of his powers.
 * Bash Brothers: With Flash.
 * Boring but Practical: How he used his ring's powers during the first two seasons. Katma Tui later called him out on it (giving an in-universe voice to fan backlash on the same point), following which his use of the ring became more Awesome but Practical.
 * Brought Down to Normal: In "The Savage Time," after having expended most of the ring's power to tow the Javelin back to the Watchtower. However, that wasn't a completely bad thing.
 * Bruiser with a Soft Center
 * The Comically Serious: At first. Eventually becomes a Deadpan Snarker.
 * He's been hanging out a lot with the Flash.
 * Flight: Via the Green Lantern Ring.
 * Green Lantern Ring: Do I really need to say it?
 * Heroic Willpower
 * Heterosexual Life Partners: With Flash.
 * Hidden Depths: His favorite film is Old Yeller.
 * Important Haircut: As outlined above; however, Shayera didn't appreciate the change.

"Green Lantern: I will not be destiny's puppet."
 * Interspecies Romance: With Katma Tui (a Korugarian) and later with Shayera Hol (a Thanagarian).
 * Jerkass: During the series' initial seasons.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold
 * Military Superhero: In this series' continuity, he served in the Marines prior to becoming a Green Lantern (as opposed to his comic book incarnation, where he was an architect).
 * Number Two: Due to Batman's more aloof nature, Green Lantern often acted as the unspoken Second-in-Command.
 * Reincarnation Romance:.
 * Semper Fi
 * Screw Destiny: Even after, he's determined that any possible relationship with Shayera should be based on how they're feeling now, not Because Destiny Says So.


 * Space Police
 * Stranger in a Familiar Land: His greatest fear is no longer belonging in the neighborhood he grew up.
 * Token Minority: One of the complaints made about him in the early episodes. Supposedly, this is why John Stewart was chosen for the team despite the DCAU already having an established Green Lantern introduced in Superman: The Animated Series (a Hal Jordan-like Kyle Rayner). However, it helps that Stewart did occasionally appear in the JLA comic book years before when he was Hal Jordan's backup.
 * Word of God is that they actually enjoyed using John Stewart quite a bit, because as a lesser-known Lantern they got more creative freedom with him then they would've gotten with Kyle Rayner or Hal Jordan.
 * Ironically, the show's popularity made people complain, when the Green Lantern movie started production, about the protagonist being NO LONGER BLACK, as people unfamiliar with the comics believed Stewart was the original guy and casting a white man was just Hollywood racism.
 * Weaksauce Weakness: It's never directly referred to, but yellow objects just happen to break through his constructs. It doesn't seriously hamper his fights with Sinestro, however.
 * Working with the Ex: With Katma Tui in "Hearts and Minds," and later with Shayera after "Waking the Dead."

The Flash
"Dude. The bad guys went down, and nobody got hurt. Know what I call that? A really good day. ALTER EGO: Wally West Voiced By: Charlie Schlatter in Superman: The Animated Series, Michael Rosenbaum in ‘’Justice League (Unlimited)’’"

Quite possibly the youngest of the Original Seven, the Flash was first seen in the Superman: The Animated Series episode "Speed Demons." Initially portrayed as a show-boater and skirt-chaser, he often ran ahead of the others and got into trouble about as fast as he could run. Eventually his importance was expanded on within the series' continuity, starting with the episode "A Better World."

"Flash: (dejectedly) I used to be able to goof around because I always knew (Superman) would have my back. Now all I've got is his example. And that's gonna have to be enough."
 * Adorkable
 * Alliterative Name: His real name, Wally West.
 * Anything That Moves: During the first two seasons. He gets some Character Development later on, though traces of his womanizing ways still remain.
 * Bad Liar: "The Great Brain Robbery" plays it for humor.
 * Bash Brothers: With Green Lantern.
 * Beneath the Mask: Perhaps best revealed in "Hereafter," after Superman's supposed death.
 * Beneath the Mask: Perhaps best revealed in "Hereafter," after Superman's supposed death.

"Wonder Woman: (ruffling Wally's hair) Red hair...it suits you."
 * Beware the Nice Ones: As both Justice Lord Batman and Brainthor found out.
 * Big Eater
 * Chivalrous Pervert
 * Commuting on a Bus: He was largely absent during the first season of Justice League Unlimited—making only three voiceless cameos.
 * Composite Character: He's Wally West with Barry Allen's superhero origin and day job as a forensic scientist.
 * However, Barry did exist in the DCAU, but was only shown briefly in a flashback in a tie-in comic.
 * The Conscience: For the Justice League and especially for his fellow members of the Original Seven, as "A Better World" reveals. He tries to invoke this with Justice Lord Superman when the other man has Flash at his mercy.
 * Clothing Damage: He gets this on a couple of occasions, most especially during "Divided We Fall" and "Flash and Substance." As the latter episode reveals, he's got a drawer full of costume-rings for spare uniforms due to this trope.
 * Corporate-Sponsored Superhero: For Lightspeed Energy Bars in "Eclipsed."
 * Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Okay, so Flash is touted as the Plucky Comic Relief of the founding members, he's a Big Eater who stuffs his face often due to Required Secondary Powers, he's a Chivalrous Pervert who rarely (if ever) has any luck with the ladies, frequently says the wrong thing at just the wrong time, and is capable of being taken down in one hit. Digested all that? Well, here's what this same guy is capable of doing when he quits fooling around: rewiring Grodd's Mind Control helmet so it'll fry the ape's brain (though he got better), holding his own against Justice Lord Superman and throwing him hard and fast enough to momentarily stun him on impact, tricking Justice Lord Batman into releasing him from his restraints, taking out an entire space-station of armed mooks when sufficiently aggravated, leading a successful infiltration of Apokolips, and curb-stomping the fused Brainiac and Lex Luthor all by himself...and this is all without taking his day-job into consideration.
 * Dangerous Forbidden Technique: Vibrating through an object at high enough super-speed causes that object to explode; hence, he doesn't use it very often. (It's also a Mythology Gag, where in the comics he'd cause things to explode by vibrating through them.)
 * Deadpan Snarker: He has his moments.
 * Dude, Where's My Respect?: In "Ties That Bind," he notes that he's treated like a kid sidekick despite being "one of the original seven."
 * Eagle-Eye Detection: "Flash and Substance" proves he's capable of this in his day job.
 * Fragile Speedster: Most of the time. He sometimes leans towards combining it with Glass Cannon, or even becoming a full-on Lightning Bruiser depending on how serious he's getting.
 * Freak Lab Accident: His hallucinations in "The Brave and the Bold" show the iconic chemical-bath-via-lightning-bolt-through-lab-window origin.
 * Freaky Friday Flip: With Lex Luthor in "The Great Brain Robbery."
 * Actor Allusion! C'mon, you know what's Michael Rosenbaum's best known role.
 * Friend to All Children: As shown in "Comfort and Joy," where he seeks to bring a special toy to the children at an orphanage..
 * Friendly Enemy: With the Trickster.
 * Fun Personified
 * Good People Have Good Sex, if Tala's subtext-laden dialogue in The Great Brain Robbery is to be believed.
 * Handsome Lech
 * The Heart: As outlined in "A Better World," his death in the Justice Lords' universe was the trigger for their turning into Knight Templars.
 * Heroes Want Redheads: Wonder Woman's words on seeing him unmasked for the first time:
 * The Heart: As outlined in "A Better World," his death in the Justice Lords' universe was the trigger for their turning into Knight Templars.
 * Heroes Want Redheads: Wonder Woman's words on seeing him unmasked for the first time:

"Orion: (about Flash) Central City builds statues to this...fool. Who makes bad jokes! Who concerns himself with pitiful men like the Trickster! I don't understand.
 * Heterosexual Life Partners: With Green Lantern.
 * I Am Not Left-Handed: As with the below trope, Wally almost never uses his true power, as most of it is incredibly lethal. Phasing-induced Tele Frag killing, mach punches, and the like aren't really skills befitting someone invoking Kid Appeal Character.
 * Incorruptible Pure Pureness: The creators could see *Superman* potentially turning Knight Templar, but not him.
 * Kid Appeal Character
 * Legacy Character: "Flash and Substance" suggests he's not the first Flash since his old Kid Flash costume is seen in the Flash Museum (along with Jay Garrick's helmet).
 * The Jay Garrick helmet and Kid Flash costume are more of a Mythology Gag than anything else.
 * Let's Get Dangerous: And when he does, he is a force to be reckoned with.
 * Morality Chain: See also The Heart above.
 * Nice Guy: It's why the residents of Central City love him.

Batman: No...you don't."


 * The Other Darrin: He was voiced by Charlie Schlatter when he appeared in the Superman: The Animated Series episode "Speed Demons". When he was fully integrated in the DCAU, they brought in Michael Rosenbaum.
 * Obfuscating Stupidity: As Orion declares, "You play the fool to hide a warrior's pain."
 * Though Flash himself dismissed that particular viewpoint (he really is that happy when things go well and doesn't have 'a warrior's pain'), he IS a scientist in his day job and has shown that he has deep fears about what his powers could do to him.
 * OOC Is Serious Business: While this applies to the other members of the Original Seven on various levels, he's the one that gets it most significantly—whenever he's not cracking a joke or chasing a skirt, you know the situation is bad. "Divided We Fall" provides perhaps the best example of this trope in action.

"Flash: She loves me. Seriously, she's like the big sister I never had. Only, you know, short."
 * Overshadowed by Awesome: In this continuity, Flash's status as "The Fastest Man Alive" is always appended by saying Superman and Supergirl are pretty much equally fast, though Flash jokes that he is possibly faster than Superman. Flash does however show more control over his speed than Superman ever does.
 * Not to mention he's a great deal more versatile in his application of super-speed.
 * Platonic Life Partners: With Hawkgirl.


 * Plucky Comic Relief: Often, until he decides to get serious.
 * Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs
 * Redheaded Hero
 * Smug Super: Subverts this trope.
 * Speed Blitz: When he isn't playing around.
 * Super Reflexes: He's the only member of the League who successfully dodges the pieces of the Eclipso gem when Hawkgirl smashes it with her mace...even Superman isn't able to dodge any of them.
 * Super Speed: Duh.
 * Time Stands Still: "Only a Dream" reveals this to be Flash's greatest nightmare; specifically, that he'll one day go so fast he'll never be able to slow down again while everything about him appears frozen in place, and thus living out his entire life-span in the time it'll take a little girl to tie her shoelace.
 * Vitriolic Best Buds: With Batman, Green Lantern and Hawkgirl.
 * Weaksauce Weakness: The sheer number of times he's tripped on things he should've seen coming...though part of this may be him limiting his own power, as when he actually tries, he's arguably one of the most dangerous of the original seven.
 * Or rather, the writers limiting his power. Word of God states that they tended to do this because, otherwise, Flash is so powerful he could beat everybody easily.
 * Goes a little far in the other direction though. Very often in early seasons Flash is beat up by random Mooks, and needs another member of the League to bail him out.

Hawkgirl
"Less talking, more hitting! ALTER EGO: Shayera Hol Voiced By: Maria Canals-Barrera"

An advance scout for the Thanagarian army, Shayera Hol came to Earth to ascertain it as a good tactical point for her people in their war against another alien race known as the Gordanians. While on Earth, she adopted the superhero identity of Hawkgirl and, as her cover story, claimed that she was a cop who got transported there via a teleportation device called a Zeta Beam while chasing after a band of criminals. "Flash: She loves me. She's kind of like the big sister I never had. Only, you know, short."
 * Action Girl
 * All of the Other Reindeer: A lot of people, including among the general populace, within the League and even among the Thanagarians still haven't forgiven her for her role in the Thanagarians' conquest of Earth, as shown in the Unlimited episode "Hunter's Moon." In the Thangarians' case, it's more, "Because you betrayed us, Thanagar was conquered and Hro Talak is dead."
 * Anti-Hero: Type III.
 * The Atoner: Post-"Starcrossed," beginning with her return in "Waking the Dead."
 * Attack! Attack! Attack!: Subtlety isn't her strong suit.
 * Bare Your Midriff: Her superhero outfit.
 * Becoming the Mask: Before her cover was revealed in "Starcrossed," she played up her story very convincingly.
 * Betty and Veronica: She eventually becomes the Betty to Vixen's Veronica in regards to John's Archie.
 * Boisterous Bruiser: "Less talking, more hitting!"
 * Carry A Big Mace
 * Civvie Spandex: Post-"Starcrossed," once she rejoins the League she wears an outfit closely akin to a jogging suit. It's also very similar to the outfits of the regular staff aboard the Watchtower. As her last outfit was part Thanagarian uniform, this change is likely intentional.
 * Cool Big Sis: Acts this way toward Flash, when they're not sniping at each other. The best examples of this are "Divided We Fall" and "I Am Legion."

"(she and Flash are talking about his crush on Fire) Shayera: (suggestively) I hear she's...you know... (Flash sees Fire talking to Ice. His eyes widen in sudden panic)
 * Cowboy Cop
 * Cute Bruiser: Played fully straight after she ditches her mask.
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: As literal a version as the censors and lawyers will allow: "I have nothing to say. I have a gesture, but my hands are tied."
 * Distaff Counterpart: To Carter Hall, a.k.a. Hawkman, though she showed up in the series first.
 * Drop The Mace
 * The Exile: From Thanagar (permanently) and the League (temporarily) after "Starcrossed."
 * Fiery Redhead
 * Flight
 * Getting Crap Past the Radar: A frequent offender. Just one example:

Shayera: (smirking) BRAZILIAN.

Flash: Ha, ha."

"Green Lantern: You can talk to me... (points to Shayera, who's got her mace in hand) Or you can talk to her."
 * Good Cop, Bad Cop: She's the Bad Cop to Green Lantern's Good Cop during an interrogation of an alien in "War World."


 * Green Eyed Red Head
 * Heroes Want Redheads
 * Hot-Blooded
 * Impossible Hourglass Figure
 * The Ladette
 * Leeroy Jenkins: She's quite capable of formulating and following plans when absolutely necessary, but usually she eschews this in favor of simply smashing things with her mace.
 * Love Triangle: She's involved in three, with Green Lantern/Hro Talak in "Starcrossed," and then with Green Lantern/Vixen and Green Lantern/Hawkman in Unlimited.
 * Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: When your feminine boy is John Stewart, you know you're a tough cookie.
 * Nay Theist: Though post-"Starcrossed," she has had a chance to read the Good Book enough to be Genre Savvy about how to intimidate Tartarus demons in "The Balance."
 * Platonic Life Partners: With Flash.
 * Proud Warrior Race Girl
 * Put on a Bus: At the end of "Starcrossed."
 * The Bus Came Back: "Waking the Dead."
 * Reincarnation Romance:.
 * Remember the New Guy?: "Secret Origins" was the first time the viewers were seeing her in the DCAU continuity, but the other heroes were clearly familiar with her despite having never interacted with her onscreen prior.
 * Screaming Warrior
 * Shipper on Deck: She encourages Flash to tell Fire how he feels about her in "I Am Legion," and even shifts the position of their Javelin (while claiming it was turbulence) to get Fire to fall into Flash's lap.
 * Shoot the Dog:.
 * She also references the most famous instance of this trope before she goes through with it.
 * Smart People Play Chess: The promotional material says she's able to beat Batman at chess. This isn't entirely unfounded in the show; she knew Batman's identity without being told. Given how freaking obsessive he is about that, she's obviously much more intelligent that her combat strategy would suggest.
 * Space Police: Her cover story prior to "Starcrossed."
 * Doubles as a Mythology Gag, as in the early 1960s comics Shayera and Katar (there a married couple) were in fact Thanagerian cops who pursued a criminal to Earth and decided to stay there and fight crime as the titular Hawk-heroes.
 * Take My Hand: She says the trope name verbatim.
 * Ten-Minute Retirement: "Starcrossed" resulted in this.
 * Tomboy and Girly Girl: Tomboy to Diana's Girly Girl.
 * Vitriolic Best Buds: With Flash and Wonder Woman, the latter more so after "Starcrossed."
 * Weapon of Choice: Her electrified Nth-metal mace, which also serves as a Magical Defibrillator.
 * Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: In her case, enclosed spaces.
 * Winged Humanoid: With the wings being part of her biological structure (as opposed to artificial like those of the Hawk-related heroes in the comics).
 * Working with the Ex: With Green Lantern, after "Waking the Dead."
 * You Can't Go Home Again
 * Your Cheating Heart:.
 * Your Cheating Heart:.

Martian Manhunter
"Ask yourselves - is being in here with me what you truly desire? ALTER EGO: J'onn J'onzz Voiced By: Carl Lumbly"

After the conquering race known as the Imperium wiped out all other life on his home planet of Mars, J'onn J'onzz managed to seal them away and set himself as a guard over them to prevent their escape. However, many years later they were unwittingly released by Earth astronauts and set their sights on conquering Earth. With the help of six of Earth's mightiest heroes, J'onn was able to defeat the Imperium, and eventually adopted Earth as his new home. "J'onn: (shifts into hybrid form) I am J'onn J'onzz. (He holds out his hand to Batman. The Bat doesn't take it, but continues to have eyes narrowed) Superman: Don't take it personally, J'onn. He doesn't trust anyone. J'onn: A wise policy."
 * Alien Among Us: Though it only comes into play when he has to blend in with humans under a disguise. Most of the time he's in his default human-Martian-hybrid form, and those who know of him or are familiar with him in this form know he's from Mars.
 * Alliterative Name
 * Apocalypse How: The fate of his home-world prior to the start of the series.
 * Bald of Awesome
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Flight
 * A Form You Are Comfortable With: When first met in "Secret Origins," he's in his natural Martian form. Upon being freed, he shifts into his more familiar hybrid form in an effort to gain Batman's trust.

"Wonder Woman: You don't like humans very much, do you, J'onn? J'onn: I don't dislike them..."
 * Exposed Extraterrestrials: In his true form...and, technically, the rest of the time as well, since he's a shapeshifter.
 * Humans Are the Real Monsters: Developed this view in "Tabula Rasa," though he found himself proven wrong shortly afterward. It came up again, albeit more subtly, in "To Another Shore," resulting in him taking a sabbatical from the League so he could learn to live among humans.

"J'onn: I was only going to ask if you wanted to play Brawlin' Bots. Flash: Dibs on the green one! (runs off) J'onn: I wanted the green one... (smirks)"
 * Immortality: Type II. He was guarding the shapeshifting invaders for 500 years prior to the start of the series.
 * And according to him, he's not going to be dying from age anytime soon.
 * Intangible Man: A frequent method of avoiding attacks.
 * Journey to Find Oneself: The reason he gets Put on a Bus.
 * Kryptonite Factor: It's hinted through various blink-and-you'll-miss-it moments that he's vulnerable to fire, like his comic book counterpart, although the very sight of it doesn't psychologically cripple him as it did in the comics.
 * Last of His Kind: It's a source of angst for him. Morgaine Le Fay exploits it for all it's worth in "A Knight of Shadows".
 * A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Read: Happens to him in "Tabula Rasa," leading him to briefly conclude that Humans Are the Real Monsters.
 * Mind Over Manners: In "A Better World," he tells Batman (in response to the Dark Knight's suggestion to read his Justice Lord counterpart's mind to ascertain the truth of his cover story) that Martians can't and won't violate one another's private thoughts in such a manner. As far as most villains go, though, he'll delve into mind-reading to glean information, but that's about it.
 * Mind Rape: In "Starcrossed", he needs to telepathically learn how to fly a Thanagarian fighter...except Thanagarians are naturally resistant to his telepathy. He grimly decides "I'll just have to try...harder," and effectively lobotomizes his prisoner. The entire planet depended on him getting that information, but the consequences are shown seasons later.
 * Mission Control: In Unlimited, he delegates missions to the expanded League. Then he gets Put on a Bus, and Mr. Terrific takes his place in this role.
 * Nonhumans Lack Attributes: J'onn's true form, and also every other Martian seen in flashbacks. His wife was drawn with narrower shoulders and a slightly emphasized "chestplate" on her exoskeleton, and that's about it.
 * Not So Above It All: As the end of "The Ties That Bind" can attest.


 * Psychic Powers: Usually of the Telepathy variety.
 * Put on a Bus: At the end of "To Another Shore."
 * Really Seven Hundred Years Old
 * Rubber Forehead Aliens: His natural Martian form and his usual default appearance, arguably.
 * Secret Identity: When in full-human form, he usually takes the appearance of a brown-haired Caucasian man; most notably, he uses this form when hiding from the Thanagerians alongside Superman (as Clark Kent) in "Starcrossed," and again when he gets Put on a Bus in "To Another Shore.".
 * The Spock
 * The Stoic -> Not So Stoic: Perhaps best exemplified in "The Ties That Bind."
 * Super Strength: Although in this series' continuity, it's toned down somewhat.
 * Quite a bit actually. He was stated to be below Superman and Wonder Woman, because in the comics, he's arguably above both.
 * Voluntary Shapeshifting
 * Warrior Poet
 * Warrior Therapist
 * You Can't Go Home Again
 * Warrior Therapist
 * You Can't Go Home Again

Aquaman (Miguel Ferrer on Superman: The Animated Series, Scott Rummell on Justice League/Justice League Unlimited)

 * Animal Talk: With marine life, anyway. Up to and including killer whales and the goddamn Kraken.
 * Water-based Arm Cannon
 * Atlantis
 * Badass: And how!
 * Handicapped Badass:
 * Easily one of the most badass versions of Aquaman. He held his own against Wonder Woman for a while on land. As soon as he got her in the water, it was game over.
 * Cain and Abel: With Ocean Master
 * Chained to a Rock
 * Deadpan Snarker: Mostly deadpan and less-so snarker, but he has his moments.
 * Drowning Aquaman: One of the Ultimen tried this on him. Guess how well that turned out.


 * Happily Married: To Mera.
 * Heart Is an Awesome Power: Put it this way. His powers don't consist only of "talking to fish." He can control ANY AND ALL MARINE LIFE, to awesome effect.
 * Hot-Blooded
 * Nature Hero
 * The Other Darrin: Aquaman was voiced by Miguel Ferrer in his appearance on Superman: The Animated Series, then by Scott Rummell in his appearances in Justice League and Justice League Unlimited.
 * Papa Wolf: You should never, ever threaten or harm his infant son. You won't live to regret it, even if you are his brother.
 * Pet the Dog: Helps defend Longshadow from Cadmus Agents.
 * Our Mermaids Are Different
 * Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Every. Single. Time.
 * The Good King: Aquaman isn't the nicest guy in the world, but Atlantis and it's citizens are Aquaman's primary concern. He's even shown to be annoyed when not in his kingdom.

 * Make Me Wanna Shout: Her Canary Cry.
 * Ms. Fanservice: The main reason Green Arrow decided to stay on the League.

Stargirl/Courtney Whitmore(Giselle Loren)

 * Action Girl
 * Alpha Bitch: Sort of. She is vain and fame seeking, has a large sense of entitlement, and mocks and belittles those around her to ease her own feelings, but means well beneath it all.
 * Badass Normal: All of Stargirl's powers are actually derived from her weapon, she has no superpowers of her own. And let's face it, how many teenage girls, if granted a weapon that fired energy blasts and enabled them to fly, would use the weapon to fight supervillains?
 * Bare Your Midriff
 * Bratty Teenage Daughter: In addition to the Alpha Bitch traits mentioned above, S.T.R.I.P.E is in fact her stepdad and partner.
 * Character Development: Over the course of Chaos at the Earth's Core, she comes to respect Supergirl, and ultimately saves her life. By the end of the episode, the two seem to be starting a friendship, with each of them complaining to the other about their respective overprotective relatives.
 * Genre Savvy: She is well aware of how her Alpha Bitch actions look and recognizes that her words make her "petty."
 * Glory Hound: While she usually means well, she is fame seeking, and believes her heroics deserve more recognition.

 * Headbutting Heroes: With Supergirl in Chaos at the Earth's Core though by the end of the episode, they appear to be becoming friends.

 * Leeroy Jenkins
 * Little Miss Badass:

Supergirl/Kara In-Ze/Kara Kent(Nicholle Tom)

 * Action Girl
 * Bare Your Midriff: Applies to BOTH her costumes!
 * Big in Japan: In-Universe, as revealed in Chaos at the Earth's Core.
 * Brought to You by The Letter "S"
 * Character Development: She plays a large point of one of JLU's story arcs and has plenty of this along the way, both in terms of personality and skill in combat. In her first appearance in JLU she was criticized for being impulsive and reckless. By the time Divided We Fall rolls around, she was chosen to be in charge of the League while the founding seven were in custody. In her final appearance, Green Lantern himself notes that there is nothing more he can teach her.
 * Cute Bruiser
 * Determinator: In Chaos at the Earth's Core, she fights Metallo despite her powers being significantly reduced and him having a Kryptonite power battery that can kill her. Even weakened and near death she managed to remove the battery from his chest.
 * Evil Counterpart / Evil Twin: Galatea is Supergirl's evil clone.
 * Eye Beams
 * Farmer's Daughter: In Fearful Symmetry Green Arrow questions a reporter on the source of one of his stories. He mentions that he got it from a girl he was seeing, which turned out to be Galatea, who is a clone of Supergirl. He specifically describes her as "blonde hair, blue eyes, real farmer's daughter type". Not to mention that Kara was actually RAISED on a farm by Ma and Pa Kent, who treated her like one of their own children.
 * Fight Off the Kryptonite: Against Metallo, memorably.
 * Flying Brick: Her powers are on par with Superman.
 * Headbutting Heroes: With Stargirl in Chaos at the Earth's Core though by the end of the episode, they appear to be becoming friends.
 * Human Aliens
 * Impossible Hourglass Figure

 * Super Speed: Though not quite as fast as Flash.
 * Super Strength
 * Twin Telepathy: In Supergirl's dreams, she relives the memories of Galatea.
 * X-Ray Vision

Amanda Waller

 * Badass Normal: Takes on with a handgun. Granted, it's a high-tech handgun, but...
 * Black Boss Lady
 * Cool Old Lady: In the Batman Beyond epilogue.
 * Scary Black Lady
 * Iron Lady
 * Well-Intentioned Extremist: Her motive is to give ordinary people a fighting chance if the League decides the world would be better off with them running it. Her methods are more...debatable.

General Wade Eiling

 * Badass Normal
 * General Ripper
 * He Who Fights Monsters: Goes right into this . In a variation, however, he stops his ensuing rampage when Metropolis' citizens point this out to him.
 * Put on a Bus: After he stops his rampage, following the aforementioned He Who Fights Monsters revelation, he is never seen again, despite.

 * Flying Brick: She's a physical match for Supergirl, and gets the upper hand in most of their battles.
 * Impossible Hourglass Figure
 * Meaningful Name: Galatea is Greek for "she who is milk white", and in modern English, the term has become a metaphor for a statue that has come to life. She has pale skin, a white costume, and is a created and designed(like a statue would be) copy of Supergirl.
 * Super Strength
 * Twin Telepathy: In Supergirl's dreams, she relives the memories of Galatea. In turn, Galatea feels she has to kill Supergirl because she fears Supergirl's conscience is beginning to affect her, rendering her less effective as an assassin.
 * What Happened to the Mouse?: She's defeated by electrocution, but doesn't seem dead....but we'll never know for sure, since she's not seen or mentioned ever again.
 * Given she was, it seems she either died or was imprisoned or depowered by the Justice League.

The Justice Lords

 * Despair Event Horizon:
 * Disproportionate Retribution: Despite having 'Justice' in their organization name, the Lords seem to have forgotten the meaning of it.
 * YMMV on that; Lord Hawkgirl is wracked with doubt over the direction they've taken, and Lord Wonder Woman does go out of her way to save a train put in danger during their battle with Doomsday.
 * The one pushing for most of their actions is Lord Superman and honestly, would you want to cross the guy?
 * Evil Overlords
 * Evil Twins
 * Fallen Heroes
 * Jumped Off the Slippery Slope: Lampshaded by "our" Batman when he notes that what the Lords do isn't that far removed from what the League does.
 * Kick the Dog
 * Knights Templar
 * Heel Face Brainwashing: Lord Superman's favorite way to deal with villains, by frying their brains via his heat vision which basically turns them into the walking dead.
 * Heel Face Turn:
 * Killed Off for Real:
 * Story Arc: The effects of A Better World, in particular that another universe's League had gone rogue and, had far-reaching effects for the rest of the series and the DCAU as a whole.
 * They Who Fight Monsters

A man who has existed for eons due to his interactions with a mysterious meteor that landed on Earth. He is an intellectual genius and a master strategist who can account for numerous outcomes due to his long life. Like many of his ilk, he thirsts for power and being nigh-immortal, is aware that once he has it he will be undisputed for eternity.

Gorilla Grodd
"’’’Voiced By:’’’ Powers Booth"

A mastermind gorilla from Gorilla City, a place where many hyper-intelligent gorillas live. After being ousted for his experiments in mind control, he turns to full-time villainy in order to gain wealth and resources to continue his research. He is most notable for organizing a number of villainous alliances to counter the Justice League.


 * Big Bad: Of the Secret Society and the Legion of Doom. Competes with Luthor and Darkseid for this title when it comes to the show as a whole.
 * Diabolical Mastermind: Especially in Justice League Unlimited. The other members of the Legion of Doom pay him twenty-five percent of their profits; in exchange, he provides the muscle to keep the League off their backs.
 * The Empath: Evil version. He can influence people to say things they'd otherwise keep to themselves by playing on their emotions.
 * Everything's Better with Monkeys: Subverted to hell and gone.
 * Evil Genius
 * Eviler Than Thou: With Luthor.
 * Dangerously Genre Savvy: Following his first defeat. Grodd spent months observing the League to learn all that he could, which allowed him to make better use of his new empathic power. And when forming the Secret Society, he selected members that couldn't be bribed into betraying him (as was done to Luthor) and performed team-building exercises so that they would trust each other. Much later, when forming the Legion of Doom, he actively kept its existence a secret from the League - going as far as to wire members' brains to short-out if questioned or mentally probed.
 * Genius Bruiser: He's a 600 pound gorilla with an intellect that rivals that of Lex Luthor. I'd say he counts.
 * Getting Crap Past the Radar: Every single one of the women he's been involved with has been human. One of them WAS originally an ape, and he used his scientific abilities to turn her INTO a human!
 * Sort of. Giganta used to be a gorilla but is now human. Definitely still Getting Crap Past the Radar.
 * Hoist by His Own Petard: Luthor uses his own Mind Rape powers on him.
 * Manipulative Bastard
 * Mind Rape: His specialty.
 * Nakama: What he tries to turn the Secret Society and then the Legion of Doom into.
 * Social Darwinist: Believes the strong should rule and the weak obey. He repeatedly scoffs at "society's petty restrictions" for daring to keep the criminal element down.
 * Telepathy
 * Telepathy

Giganta
"’’’Voiced By:’’’ Jennifer Hale"


 * Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever
 * Boobs of Steel: Within the original Secret Society alone, compare her chest size with that of cold-blooded distance striker, Killer Frost.
 * Evil Redhead
 * Foe Yay: A little bit with the Flash, as shown in the last episode.
 * Getting Crap Past the Radar: Pretty much everything about her.
 * Magic Skirt: Strangely enough, considering she wears a tiny dress and can grow to giant size, we never see the obvious outcome, even when she falls over. Possibly subverted on-screen, judging by the Shade's reaction to seeing her grow right in front of him(with him standing under her, looking up).
 * Most Common Superpower
 * My Master, Right or Wrong: While genuinely criminal, her main connection is her devotion to Grodd for, "As long as he needs me."
 * Or until he fries her brain.
 * Woman Scorned: To Grodd.
 * Wouldn't Hit a Girl: Invokes this on Superman one time. Wonder Woman doesn't have a problem, though...

Killer Frost
"’’’Voiced By:’’’ Jennifer Hale"


 * An Ice Person
 * Ax Crazy
 * Black Eyes of Evil
 * Creepy Monotone
 * Dark Action Girl
 * For the Evulz: Grodd makes it clear that she's working for him simply because she just wants to kill as many people as possible. She seems very disappointed when Grodd wants someone alive.
 * Goth: Lone Psycho Goth variant.
 * Harmless Freezing: Averted very hard. There's a reason she's called Killer Frost.
 * Looks Like Cesare
 * Opera Gloves
 * Psycho for Hire: As Grodd puts it, "she just likes killing things," to the point where she looks really disappointed whenever she's stopped. On the bright side, it makes her really hard to bribe.
 * Psychotic Smirk: This and disdain about sum up her facial expressions.
 * The Sociopath
 * Underestimating Badassery: Does this to Toyman in "Alive".
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair

Professor Ivo's Android A.K.A "A.M.A.Z.O."
""There's nothing I want from you anymore, none of you have anything for me now." ’’’Voiced By:’’’ Robert Picardo"

"The Flash: Where is he going? Martin Manhunter: Where gods belong."
 * Adaptive Ability: He was able to take superman's powers and then overcome his Kryptonite Factor after exposure to kryptonite, and his own nanotech weaknesses which causes Luthor's only weapon against him to fail.

 * Awesomeness By Analysis: TO THE EXTREME!! Amazo has the ability to copy one's powers, natural abilities, equipment and DNA signature simply by looking at them.
 * Children Are Innocent: Played with, he was very child like at first in how he behaved and his understanding of the world, and in how easy it was for Luthor to trick him into fighting the League.
 * Complete Immortality: Luthor even brings it up in his Break Them by Talking.
 * Curb Stomp Battle: Amazo: "I have evolved far beyond what I was when we last met. You do not want to challenge me."
 * Do Not Taunt Cthulhu: Happens twice:
 * Luthor Standing in the palm of Amazo's hand literally:

"Aquaman:Such scintillating repartee, I get better conversation from the android.
 * Aquaman playing chess with Hawkgirl while Amazo watches:

Amazo: You are aware I'm in the room?"

"Amazo: Did you really think I couldn't follow you here? No universe however large however small is denied to me."
 * Neither times did he vaporize them or wipe them from existence, but he could have easily.
 * Heroic Build: He is about ten feet tall, has a Sculpted Physique, perfectly smooth body and only eyes for a face.
 * Implacable Man: He was this towards Luthor, not even the entire Justice league could stop him.
 * After Lex and Atom shrink down to escape Amazo and find themself in Amazo's hand:

"[[spoiler:After Amazo gives up on killing Luthor: John Stewart: He murders an entire planet and its over just like that I don't think so. Amazo: I did not destroy Oa, I simple moved it to another dimension. Green lanterns Look at each other bewildered Amazo: It was in my way.

 * Kick the Dog: On his return to Earth he vaporized Oa the Green lantern's planet which the green lanterns are determined to get revenge for.

 * Story-Breaker Power: He is only in four episodes and is Put on a Bus at the end of every episode except the first.
 * Superpower Lottery: He was made to be the winner.
 * On his return to earth he has Flight, Super Strength, Nigh Invulnerability minus the nigh, vast energy manipulation, psionic powers like Telepathy and telekinesis, super-hearing, can teleport himself across unknown distances, shrink into a subatomic universe, Move entire planets to other dimensions and just as easily bring them back unharmed, and basically any power that anyone else has, except magic..
 * Tin Man: Averted HARD, he is very emotional and is searching for a meaning in life.
 * Ultimate Lifeform: Luthor sure things so, considering he made his own Amazo body to have his mind transferd into,
 * What Happened to the Mouse?: When fighting Solomon Grundy, Grundy used chaos magic to absorbed and repelled Amazo's cosmic blast, to prevent Grundy from becoming stronger, Amazo teleported himself several light-years away until he could figure out how to solve the problem and has not been seen since.
 * Initiate Broken Base and Fridge Logic
 * Word of God says that it was supposted to be a Brick Joke in the last episode but they forgot. They were going to include a gag in the finale showing Amazo sitting on an asteroid somewhere, wondering whether or not it was safe to return.

John Stewart: Then could you move it back!?

Amazo's eyes glow (half a Beat)

Amazo: Done.

everybody smiles.]]"

The cruel dictator of War World. He gains amusement from watching others fight in his arena, which he captures from around the galaxy to become gladiator slaves.

 * Bread and Circuses

Atomic Skull

 * Butt Monkey: Despite being a fearsome-looking metahuman, most of his screen time is spent being humiliatingly trounced by non-powered heroes - and, in one case, by an anonymous teenaged monk.

 * Vocal Dissonance: Sounds surprisingly whiny when we actually hear him talk.
