* [[Brought to You
* [[Cool Plane]]: Her invisible jet, later in the series.
* [[Determinator]]: Oh, yes. Just watch her fight against
* [[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, Brute?|Et Tu, Hawkgirl?]]: At first...
* [[
* [[The Exile]]: After "Paradise Lost".
* [[Flying Brick]]: She's able to go toe-to-toe with Superman {{spoiler|though that was a case of [[Tomato in

* [[Impossible Hourglass Figure]]
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: On one occasion she used her ''tiara'' as a [[Precision
* [[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").
* {{spoiler|[[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: Hades says that he and Hippolyta sculpted Diana together, making him her "father" of sorts. Diana doesn't angst over this, at least not visibly}}.
* [[New Powers
* [[Oh My Gods]]: "Great Hera!" A serial offender, that's pretty much her [[Catch Phrase]].

Line 66 ⟶ 68:
=== Green Lantern ===
{{quote|
'''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 [[Bald of Awesome|shaved his head bald]] and began sporting a [[Badass Beard|goatee]].
* [[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.
{{quote|
* [[Badass Creed]]: You know the one.
* [[Badass Normal]]: During "The Savage Time," [[Brought Down to Normal|when his ring's run out of juice]], his previous skills at [[Good Old Fisticuffs|hand-to-hand combat]] and [[Military Superhero|weapons usage]] from his time in the Marines serve him in good stead.
Line 79 ⟶ 81:
* [[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
* [[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, [[Badass Normal|that wasn't a completely bad thing]].
* [[Bruiser
* [[The Comically Serious]]: At first. Eventually becomes a [[Deadpan Snarker]].
** He's been hanging out a lot with the Flash.
Line 90 ⟶ 92:
* [[Hidden Depths]]: His favorite film is ''[[Old Yeller]]''.
* [[Important Haircut]]: As outlined above; however, Shayera didn't appreciate the change.
{{quote|
'''Shayera:''' ''([[Beat]])'' Hate the beard. }}
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: With Katma Tui (a Korugarian) and later with Shayera Hol (a Thanagarian).
* [[Jerkass]]: During the series' initial seasons.
** [[Jerk
* [[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 Ally|aloof nature]], Green Lantern often acted as the unspoken Second-in-Command.
Line 100 ⟶ 102:
* [[Semper Fi]]
* [[Screw Destiny]]: Even after {{spoiler|going to the future and seeing his son by Shayera}}, he's determined that any possible relationship with Shayera should be based on how they're feeling ''now'', not [[Because Destiny Says So]].
{{quote|
* [[Space Police]]
* [[Stranger in
* [[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:
** [[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 [[Mythology Gag|yellow objects just]] ''[[Mythology Gag|happen]]'' [[Mythology Gag|to break through his constructs]]. It doesn't seriously hamper his fights with Sinestro, however.
* [[Working
=== The Flash ===
{{quote|
'''ALTER EGO:''' Wally West
'''Voiced By:''' Charlie Schlatter in ''[[Superman:
Quite possibly the youngest of the Original Seven, the Flash was first seen in the ''[[Superman:
* [[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.
* {{spoiler|[[Ascend to
* [[Bad Liar]]: "The Great Brain Robbery" [[Crowning Moment of Funny|plays it for humor]].
* [[Bash Brothers]]: With Green Lantern.
* [[Beneath the Mask]]: Perhaps best revealed in "Hereafter," after Superman's supposed death.
{{quote|
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: [[Crazy Awesome|As both]] [[Knight Templar|Justice Lord Batman]] [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|and]] [[Fan Nickname|Brainthor]] [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|found out]].
* [[Big Eater]]
* {{spoiler|[[But Now I Must Go]]}}: {{spoiler|[[Defied Trope|Defied]] when the other Leaguers pull him out of the Speed Force}}.
* [[Chivalrous Pervert]]
* [[Commuting
* [[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 [[Expanded Universe|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 {{spoiler|but it doesn't work}}.
* [[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
* [[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 [[Fragile Speedster|being taken down in one hit]]. Digested all that? Well, here's what this same guy is capable of doing [[Let's Get Dangerous|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 Stomp Battle|curb-stomping]] [[Big Bad|the fused Brainiac and Lex Luthor]] [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|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.)
** {{spoiler|"I can never go that fast again. If I do, I don't think I'm coming back."}}
* [[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
* [[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.
Line 148 ⟶ 150:
* [[Friendly Enemy]]: With the Trickster.
* [[Fun Personified]]
* [[Good People Have Good Sex]], if Tala's [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|subtext-laden dialogue]] in [[Freaky Friday Flip|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 Templar
* [[Heroes Want Redheads]]: Wonder Woman's words on seeing him unmasked for the first time:
{{quote|
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: With Green Lantern.
* [[I Am Not Left
* [[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).
Line 162 ⟶ 164:
* [[Morality Chain]]: See also [[The Heart]] above.
* [[Nice Guy]]: It's why the residents of Central City love him.
{{quote|
'''Batman:''' No...you don't. }}
* [[The Other Darrin]]: He was voiced by Charlie Schlatter when he appeared in the ''[[Superman:
* [[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
{{quote|
* [[Overshadowed
** Not to mention [[When All You Have Is a Hammer|he's a great deal more versatile in his application of super-speed]].
* [[Platonic Life Partners]]: With Hawkgirl.
{{quote|
* [[Plucky Comic Relief]]: Often, until he decides to [[Let's Get Dangerous|get serious]].
* [[Rapid
* [[Redheaded Hero]]
* [[Smug Super]]: Subverts this trope.
Line 183 ⟶ 185:
* [[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 [[Mook
=== Hawkgirl ===
{{quote|
'''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, [[It Was His Sled|claimed that she was a cop who got transported there via a]] [[Shout
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[All of the Other Reindeer]]: A lot of people, including among the general populace, within the League and even among the Thanagarians [[Never Live It Down|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
* [[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.
Line 205 ⟶ 207:
* [[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 [[Deadpan Snarker|sniping at]] [[Vitriolic Best Buds|each other]]. The best examples of this are "[[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|Divided We Fall]]" and "[[Crowning Moment of Funny|I Am Legion]]."
{{quote|
* [[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 [[Lawyer
* [[Distaff Counterpart]]: To Carter Hall, a.k.a. Hawkman, though she showed up in the series first.
* [[Drop the Hammer|Drop The Mace]]
Line 216 ⟶ 218:
* [[Flight]]
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: A frequent offender. Just one example:
{{quote|
'''Shayera:''' ''(suggestively)'' I hear she's...you know...
''(Flash sees [[Les Yay|Fire talking to Ice]]. His eyes widen in sudden panic)''<br />
'''Shayera:''' ''(smirking)'' BRAZILIAN.<br />
'''Flash:''' [[Sarcasm Mode|Ha, ha]]. }}
* [[Good Cop, Bad Cop]]: She's the Bad Cop to Green Lantern's Good Cop during an interrogation of an alien in "War World."
{{quote|
* [[Green Eyed Red Head]]
* [[Heroes Want Redheads]]
* [[Hot
* [[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 [[Attack! Attack! Attack!|simply]] [[Boisterous Bruiser|smashing things]] [[Drop the Hammer|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 [[Badass|John Stewart]], you ''know'' you're a tough cookie.
* [[Nay Theist]]: Though post-"Starcrossed," she has had a chance to read [[The Bible|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 Guy|Proud Warrior Race Girl]]
* [[Put
** [[The Bus Came Back]]: "Waking the Dead." {{spoiler|And before that, a brief cameo at the end of "The Return."}}
* [[Reincarnation Romance]]: {{spoiler|With Green Lantern}}.
* [[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
* [[Shoot the Dog]]: {{spoiler|[[Tear Jerker|Has to do this to a resurrected and rampaging Solomon Grundy]]}}.
** She also references [[Old Yeller|the most famous instance of this trope]] before she goes through with it.
Line 247 ⟶ 249:
* [[Take My Hand]]: She says the trope name verbatim {{spoiler|before pulling Flash out of the Speed Force}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Tell Me About My Father|Tell Me About My Son]]}}
* [[Ten
* [[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, [[Claustrophobia|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
* [[You Can't Go Home Again]]
* [[Your Cheating Heart]]: {{spoiler|In a past life, she did this to her husband with his best friend}}.
=== Martian Manhunter ===
{{quote|
'''ALTER EGO:''' J'onn J'onzz
'''Voiced By:''' Carl Lumbly }}
Line 271 ⟶ 273:
* [[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.
{{quote|
''(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. }}
* [[Exposed Extraterrestrials]]: In his true form...and, technically, the rest of the time as well, since he's a shapeshifter.
* [[Humans Are
{{quote|
'''J'onn:''' I don't ''dislike'' them... }}
* [[Immortality]]: Type II. He was guarding the shapeshifting invaders for [[Older Than They Look|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
* [[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
* [[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
* [[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.
{{quote|
'''Flash''': Dibs on the green one! (runs off)
'''J'onn''': ''I'' wanted the green one... (smirks) }}
* [[Psychic Powers]]: Usually of the [[Telepathy]] variety.
* [[Put
** {{spoiler|[[The Bus Came Back]]}}: {{spoiler|In time for the [[Grand Finale]]}}.
* [[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
* [[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 [[Word of God|stated to be below Superman and Wonder Woman]], because in the comics, he's arguably above both.
* {{spoiler|[[Ten
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]
* [[Warrior Poet]]
Line 311 ⟶ 313:

* [[Animal Talk]]: With marine life, anyway. Up to and including killer whales and the goddamn ''Kraken''.
* [[Kill It
* [[Atlantis]]
* [[Badass]]: And ''how''!
Line 321 ⟶ 323:
** 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
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Mostly deadpan and less-so snarker, but he has his moments.
* [[Shooting Superman|Drowning Aquaman]]: One of the Ultimen [[Too Dumb to Live|tried this on him]]. Guess how well that turned out.
{{quote|
* [[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
* [[Nature Hero]]
* [[The Other Darrin]]: Aquaman was voiced by Miguel Ferrer in his appearance on ''[[Superman:
* [[Papa Wolf]]: You should never, ''ever'' threaten or harm his infant son. You won't live to regret it, even if you are his [[Cain and Abel|brother.]]
* [[Pet the Dog]]: Helps defend Longshadow from Cadmus Agents.
* [[Our Mermaids Are Different]]
* [[Teeth
* [[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.

* [[Bare Your Midriff]]

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.

Line 527 ⟶ 529:
* [[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?

{{quote|
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 ===
{{quote|
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.
Line 569 ⟶ 571:
* [[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.

[[Getting Crap Past the Radar|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).
