 * Old Superhero
 * 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, too bad they hate each other.

Green Lantern (Alan Scott)

Topo
"Voiced By: James Arnold Taylor"


 * Cthulhumanoid
 * Everythings Squishier With Cephalopods

 * Ascended Extra: Given a fairly prominent role in the tie-in comic.
 * Every Girl Is Cuter With Hair Decs
 * Fantastic Racism: Like Topo, the victim of it.
 * Making a Splash
 * 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 Fourth Wall: Her appearance in the show has her casting a translation spell, after which all the spoken Atlantean becomes understandable english for the viewer.
 * Translator Microbes: See above.

King Nanaue Sha'ark

 * Adaptational Villainy: Inverted. His mainstream DCU counterpart is usually a villain, but here, he's (more or less) one of the good guys.
 * Authority Equals Asskicking: He's the king of the Atlantean city-state of Nanaue.
 * Canon Foreigner: Has appeared only in the tie-in comic so far.
 * 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.
 * Species Surname
 * 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.

Ronal

 * Canon Foreigner: In regards to the show. Basically, the same situation as Sha'ark.
 * Fantastic Racism: Towards non human-like Atlanteans.
 * Does This Remind You of Anything: He has blonde hair, blue eyes, and hates the "impure." Hm.
 * Making a Splash
 * 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.
