Line 31 ⟶ 33:
* [[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 Byby The Letter "S"|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--heMongul—he's [[Curb Stomp Battle|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, Brute?|Et Tu, Hawkgirl?]]: At first...
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better Withwith Princesses]]
* [[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 Thethe Mirror]]}}.
* [[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").
* {{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 Asas the Plot Demands]]: A variation of this happens in "The Balance": {{spoiler|Hippolyta unlocks the full potential of Diana's armor by touching the star on her tiara}}.
* [[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]]: [[Lady Land|Themyscera]].
* [[Politically -Active Princess]]: Only in the final season.
* [[Rebellious Princess]]
* [[Requisite Royal Regalia]]: Her tiara.
Line 57 ⟶ 59:
* [[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 [[EverythingsEverything's Better Withwith Spinning|spinning in place]] [[Mythology Gag|for a few seconds]].
* [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]]: With Batman, much to her frustration.
* [[Victoria's Secret Compartment]]
Line 66 ⟶ 68:
 
=== Green Lantern ===
{{quote box|[[File:John_Stewart_JLU_3135.png|frame]]}}
{{quote| ''We all need to be held accountable. We have too much power not to be.''<br />
'''ALTER EGO:''' John Stewart<br />
'''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| '''Flash:''' Hey, we've both got [[Martian Manhunter|a Martian's]] phone number on our speed dial. I think I deserve the benefit of the doubt here.}}
* [[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 butYet 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, [[Badass Normal|that wasn't a completely bad thing]].
* [[Bruiser Withwith a Soft Center]]
* [[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| '''Green Lantern:''' ''(surprised to see Shayera again)'' Shayera?<br />
'''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 Withwith 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 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| '''Green Lantern:''' I will not be destiny's puppet.}}
* [[Space Police]]
* [[Stranger in Aa 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: theThe 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 [[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 Withwith the Ex]]: With Katma Tui in "Hearts and Minds," and later with Shayera after "Waking the Dead."
 
=== The Flash ===
{{quote box|[[File:Flash_DCAU_1570.png|frame]]}}
{{quote| ''Dude. The bad guys went down, and nobody got hurt. Know what I call that? A really good day.''<br />
'''ALTER EGO:''' Wally West<br />
'''Voiced By:''' Charlie Schlatter in ''[[Superman: theThe Animated Series]]'', Michael Rosenbaum in ‘’[[Justice League (Animationanimation)|Justice League]] (Unlimited)’’ }}
 
Quite possibly the youngest of the Original Seven, the Flash was first seen in the ''[[Superman: theThe 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."
 
* [[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 Aa Higher Plane of Existence]]}}: {{spoiler|Subverted, though just barely}}.
* [[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| '''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.}}
* [[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 Onon a Bus]]: He was largely absent during the first season of ''Justice League Unlimited''--making—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 [[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 -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 [[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 -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.
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|Knight Templars]]s.
* [[Heroes Want Redheads]]: Wonder Woman's words on seeing him unmasked for the first time:
{{quote| '''Wonder Woman:''' ''(ruffling Wally's hair)'' Red hair...it suits you.}}
* [[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).
Line 162 ⟶ 164:
* [[Morality Chain]]: See also [[The Heart]] above.
* [[Nice Guy]]: It's why the residents of Central City love him.
{{quote| '''Orion:''' ''(about Flash)'' Central City builds statues to this...''fool''. Who makes bad jokes! Who concerns himself with [[Friendly Enemy|pitiful men like]] [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain|the Trickster]]! I don't understand.<br />
'''Batman:''' No...you don't. }}
* [[The Other Darrin]]: He was voiced by Charlie Schlatter when he appeared in the ''[[Superman: theThe 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--wheneversignificantly—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.
{{quote| {{spoiler|"Shayera, it's so beautiful here! There's a force...a [[Mythology Gag|Speed Force]]...[[Ascend to Aa Higher Plane of Existence|it's calling me home]]. [[But Now I Must Go|I have to go now]]."}}}}
* [[Overshadowed Byby 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 [[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| '''Flash:''' She loves me. Seriously, [[Like Brother and Sister|she's like the big sister I never had.]] Only, you know, short.}}
* [[Plucky Comic Relief]]: Often, until he decides to [[Let's Get Dangerous|get serious]].
* [[Rapid -Fire Fisticuffs]]
* [[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|Mooks]]s'', and needs another member of the League to bail him out.
 
=== Hawkgirl ===
{{quote box|[[File:Shayera_DCAU_5606.png|frame]]}}
{{quote| ''Less talking, more hitting!''<br />
'''ALTER EGO:''' Shayera Hol<br />
'''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 -Out|teleportation device called]] [[Adam Strange|a Zeta Beam]] [[It Was His Sled|while chasing after a band of criminals]].
* [[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 -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.
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| '''Flash:''' She loves me. She's kind of like the big sister I never had. Only, you know, short.}}
* [[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 -Friendly Cameo|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 Hammer|Drop The Mace]]
Line 216 ⟶ 218:
* [[Flight]]
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: A frequent offender. Just one example:
{{quote| ''(she and Flash are talking about his crush on Fire)''<br />
'''Shayera:''' ''(suggestively)'' I hear she's...you know...<br />
''(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 Lantern:''' You can talk to me... ''(points to Shayera, who's got her mace in hand)'' Or you can talk to ''her''.}}
* [[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 [[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 Onon a Bus]]: At the end of "Starcrossed."
** [[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 Onon Deck]]: She encourages Flash to tell Fire how he feels about her in "I Am Legion," and even shifts the position of their Javelin ([[Blatant Lies|while claiming it was turbulence]]) to get Fire to fall into Flash's lap.
* [[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 -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, [[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 Withwith the Ex]]: With Green Lantern, after "Waking the Dead."
* [[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 box|[[File:jonnjonzz3_8561.jpg|frame]]}}
{{quote| ''Ask yourselves - is being in here with me what you truly desire?''<br />
'''ALTER EGO:''' J'onn J'onzz<br />
'''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| '''J'onn:''' ''(shifts into hybrid form)'' I am J'onn J'onzz.<br />
''(He holds out his hand to Batman. The Bat doesn't take it, but continues to have eyes narrowed)''<br />
'''Superman:''' Don't take it personally, J'onn. He doesn't trust anyone.<br />
'''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 Bastardsthe Real Monsters]]: Developed this view in "Tabula Rasa," [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|though he found himself proven wrong shortly afterward]]. It came up again, albeit more subtly, in "To Another Shore," resulting in him [[Put Onon a Bus|taking a sabbatical from the League]] so he could learn to live among humans.
{{quote| '''Wonder Woman:''' You don't like humans very much, do you, J'onn?<br />
'''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 Onon 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 Toto Read]]: Happens to him in "Tabula Rasa," leading him to briefly conclude that [[Humans Are Bastardsthe 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 Onon 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.
{{quote| '''J'onn''': I was only going to ask if you wanted to play Brawlin' Bots.<br />
'''Flash''': Dibs on the green one! (runs off)<br />
'''J'onn''': ''I'' wanted the green one... (smirks) }}
* [[Psychic Powers]]: Usually of the [[Telepathy]] variety.
* [[Put Onon a Bus]]: At the end of "To Another Shore."
** {{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 Onon a Bus]] in "To Another Shore." {{spoiler|He later takes the form of an elderly Chinese man prior to his return in the [[Grand Finale]]}}.
* [[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 -Minute Retirement]]}}
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]
* [[Warrior Poet]]
Line 311 ⟶ 313:
 
 
== {{color|black|TThe Expanded League}} ==
=== '''Aquaman (Miguel Ferrer on ''[[Superman: theThe Animated Series]]'', Scott Rummell on ''[[Justice League (animation)|Justice League/Justice League Unlimited]]'')''' ===
 
* [[Animal Talk]]: With marine life, anyway. Up to and including killer whales and the goddamn ''Kraken''.
* [[Kill It Withwith Water|Water-based]] [[Arm Cannon]]
* [[Atlantis]]
* [[Badass]]: And ''how''!
Line 321 ⟶ 323:

Line 427 ⟶ 429:
 
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|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]]
Line 434 ⟶ 436:

* [[Big in Japan]]: [[In -Universe]], as revealed in ''Chaos at the Earth's Core''.
* [[Brought to You Byby 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.

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.

* [[Impossible Hourglass Figure]]
Line 498 ⟶ 500:
* [[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 Thethe 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 {{spoiler|on the Watchtower at the time of her last appearance}}, it seems she either died or was imprisoned or depowered by the Justice League.

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?

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.

{{quote| ’’’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.
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.
* [[The Empath]]: Evil version. He can influence people to say things they'd otherwise keep to themselves by playing on their emotions.
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better Withwith Monkeys]]: Subverted to hell and gone.
* [[Evil Genius]]
* [[Eviler Than Thou]]: With Luthor.
Line 576 ⟶ 578:

{{quote| ’’’Voiced By:’’’ [[Jennifer Hale]]}}

* [[Evil Redhead]]
Line 594 ⟶ 596:
* [[Magic Skirt]]: Strangely enough, considering she wears a tiny dress and can grow to giant size, we never see the [[Panty Shot|obvious outcome]], even when she falls over. [[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).
* [[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."

* [[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.
* [[A God Am I]]: If anyone had the right to say this, it was him but [[Averted Trope|averted]], he never refers to himself as a god [[Like a God Toto Me|but others suggest it]].
** ''Amazo leaves Earth by flying into the night sky.''
{{quote| '''The Flash:''' Where is he going?<br />
'''Martin Manhunter:''' Where gods belong. }}

* [[Awesomeness By Analysis]]: [[Exaggerated Trope|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]]: [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played with]], he was very child like at first in [[Blank Slate|how he behaved]] and his [[Please Wake Up|understanding of the world]], and in how easy it was for [[Manipulative Bastard|Luthor]] to [[Playing the Victim Card|trick him into fighting the League.]]
* [[Complete Immortality]]: Luthor even brings it up in his [[Break Them Byby Talking]].

{{quote| '''Amazo:''' Did you really think I couldn't follow you here? No universe however large however small is denied to me.}}
** It took one of Luthor's epic speeches to stop Amazo from destroying him and [[Suicidal Cosmic Temper Tantrum|The whole universe]]
* [[Instant AI, Just Add Water]]: [[Justified Trope|Justified]] by him getting his [[Ridiculously -Human Robots|personaliy]] from [[Awesomeness By Analysis|humans]], and helps him [[Averted Trope|avert]] most [[AIA.I. Is a Crapshoot|negative]] [[Electronic Speech Impediment|robot]] [[Mechanical Monster|tropes.]]
* [[Instant Expert]]: He has no problem [[How Do I Shot Web?|using the powers]] he just gained.
* [[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. {{spoiler|[[Subverted Trope|Subverted]] when it turns out he just Teleported it to a different dimension.}}

* [[Tin Man]]: [[Averted Trope|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, {{spoiler|[[Hoist Byby His Own Petard|that was destroyed by the weapon he made to fend off Amazo.]]}}
* [[What Happened to Thethe Mouse?]]: When fighting Solomon Grundy, Grundy used chaos magic to absorbed and repelled Amazo's cosmic blast, to prevent Grundy from becoming stronger, [[Deus Exit Machina|Amazo teleported himself several light-years away until he could figure out how to solve the problem]] [[Long Bus Trip|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.
* {{spoiler|[[World -Healing Wave]]: Inverted then exaaggerated when on his way back to earth, Oa is in his way, [[Mass Teleportation|so he transported Oa to another dimension]], when the greens lanterns asked him politely to put it back, he did.}}

=== Atomic Skull ===
