Line 33 ⟶ 35:
* [[Brought to You by 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...
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 [[Everything's Better with Spinning|spinning in place]] [[Mythology Gag|for a few seconds]].
Line 67 ⟶ 69:
=== Green Lantern ===
[[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 with a Soft Center]]
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).
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 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.
Line 111 ⟶ 113:
=== The Flash ===
[[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: The Animated Series]]'', Michael Rosenbaum in ‘’[[Justice League (animation)|Justice League]] (Unlimited)’’ }}
 
Line 124 ⟶ 126:
* [[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 on 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]].
Line 150 ⟶ 152:
* [[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: 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--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 a Higher Plane of Existence|it's calling me home]]. [[But Now I Must Go|I have to go now]]."}}}}
* [[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 [[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]]
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 ===
[[File:Shayera_DCAU_5606.png|frame]]
{{quote| ''Less talking, more hitting!''<br />
'''ALTER EGO:''' Shayera Hol<br />
'''Voiced By:''' Maria Canals-Barrera }}
 
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.
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]]
Line 230 ⟶ 232:
* [[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.
Line 259 ⟶ 261:
=== Martian Manhunter ===
[[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 on 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.
Line 285 ⟶ 287:
* [[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 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.
Line 291 ⟶ 293:
* [[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.
Line 312 ⟶ 314:
 
== {{color|black|The Expanded League}} ==
=== '''Aquaman (Miguel Ferrer on ''[[Superman: The 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''.
Line 324 ⟶ 326:
* [[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| '''Aquaman:''' King of the seas, remember?}}
* [[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.
Line 336 ⟶ 338:
* [[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.
 
=== '''Oliver Queen/Green Arrow (Kin Shriner)''' ===
 
* [[The Archer]]
Line 351 ⟶ 353:
* [[Twang! "Hello."]]
 
=== '''Dinah Lance/Black Canary (Morena Baccarin)''' ===
 
* [[Action Girl]]
Line 362 ⟶ 364:
* [[She's Got Legs]]: And those fishnets show off every inch.
 
=== '''Vic Sage/The Question ([[Jeffrey Combs]])''' ===
 
* [[Adorkable]]: "You're drawn to my [[Crazy Awesome|eccentric]] charm."
Line 369 ⟶ 371:
* [[Badass Normal]]
* [[The Blank]]
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: Of a [[Captain Ersatz]] of ''[[Watchmen (comics)|himself]]'', no less. Trippy...
* [[Car Fu]]: Does this to a group of Darkseid's Parademons during the series finale. Even punches one out of his window.
* [[Coat, Hat, Mask]]
Line 376 ⟶ 378:
* [[The Faceless]]: Complete with [[Dramatic Unmask]] in "Flashpoint."
 
=== '''Nathaniel Adams/Captain Atom (George Eads, Chris Cox)''' ===
 
* [[Energy Beings]]
Line 385 ⟶ 387:
* [[My Country, Right or Wrong]]
 
=== '''Mari McCabe/Vixen (Gina Torres)''' ===
{{quote| ''What makes you think I know anything about the jungle? I live in a loft in Chelsea.''}}
 
* [[Absolute Cleavage]]
Line 393 ⟶ 395:
* [[Romantic False Lead]]
 
=== '''Hank Hill/Hawk (Fred Savage) & Don Hill/Dove (Jason Hervey)''' ===
 
* [[Bash Brothers]]
Line 403 ⟶ 405:
* [[Technical Pacifist]]: Dove. He won't kill you period, and disapproves of violence. [[Beware the Nice Ones|Not]] that this will stop him from whooping the tar out of you.
 
=== '''Vigilante ([[Nathan Fillion]])''' ===
 
* [[Badass Normal]]
Line 413 ⟶ 415:
* [[Those Two Guys]]: With Shining Knight.
 
=== '''Shining Knight''' ===
 
* [[Badass Normal]]
Line 427 ⟶ 429:
 
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: [[Playing with 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 439 ⟶ 441:
* [[Kid Hero]]: In the comics Stargirl is a 16 year old kid, and while her age isn't explicitly stated in JLU, she lives with her stepdad and is drawn as a teenage girl.
* [[Leeroy Jenkins]]
* [[Little Miss Badass]]:
 
=== Supergirl/Kara In-Ze/Kara Kent(Nicholle Tom) ===
Line 452 ⟶ 454:
* [[Evil Counterpart]] / [[Evil Twin]]: Galatea is Supergirl's evil clone.
* [[Eye Beams]]
* [[FarmersFarmer'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.
Line 475 ⟶ 477:
* [[Scary Black Man|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.
 
 
Line 482 ⟶ 484:
* [[General Ripper]]
* [[He Who Fights Monsters]]: Goes right into this {{spoiler|after taking the Captain Nazi serum}}. 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 {{spoiler|emerging from that fight mostly unscathed and NOT being detained, arrested, or de-powered}}.
* [[Super Strength]]: After {{spoiler|taking the Captain Nazi serum}}.
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Pretty much the same as Waller.
 
=== Galatea ===
Line 492 ⟶ 494:
* [[Evil Counterpart]] / [[Evil Twin]]: To Supergirl.
* [[Eye Beams]]
* [[FarmersFarmer'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. He specifically describes her as "blonde hair, blue eyes, real farmer's daughter type".
* [[Flying Brick]]: She's a physical match for Supergirl, and gets the upper hand in most of their battles.
* [[Impossible Hourglass Figure]]
Line 504 ⟶ 506:
== {{color|black|Recurring and Significant Villains}} ==
=== Lex Luthor ===
{{quote| ''That's right, conspiracy buff. I spent 75 million dollars on a fake presidential campaign, ''all just to tick Superman off''.''<br />

[[DCAU/Characters/Superman the Animated Series/Characters|See here for complete info]].
 
=== The Justice Lords ===
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?
* [[Evil Overlord|Evil Overlords]]s
* [[Evil Twin|Evil Twins]]s
* [[Fallen Hero|Fallen Heroes]]es
* [[Jumped Off the Slippery Slope]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|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]]
Line 542 ⟶ 544:
 
=== Vandal Savage ===
{{quote| ’’’Voiced By:’’’ Phil Morris}}
 
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.
Line 562 ⟶ 564:
 
=== Gorilla Grodd ===
{{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 585 ⟶ 587:
 
=== Giganta ===
{{quote| ’’’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, [[An Ice Person|Killer Frost]].
* [[Evil Redhead]]
Line 600 ⟶ 602:
 
=== Killer Frost ===
{{quote| ’’’Voiced By:’’’ [[Jennifer Hale]]}}
* [[An Ice Person]]
* [[Ax Crazy]]
Line 618 ⟶ 620:
 
=== Professor Ivo's Android A.K.A "A.M.A.Z.O." ===
{{quote| "There's nothing I want from you anymore, none of you have anything for me now."<br />
’’’Voiced By:’’’ Robert Picardo }}
 
Line 624 ⟶ 626:
* [[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 to 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. }}
* [[All Powerful Bystander]]: With all his powers when he fought as a good guy he was never useful.
Line 631 ⟶ 633:
* [[Children Are Innocent]]: [[Playing with 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 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 [[Incredible Shrinking Man|literally]]:''
{{quote| '''Luthor:''' You know, when I heard you were coming I was actually afraid of you, petrified, but now when I see your fear your, uncertainty I just pity you!}}
** ''Aquaman playing chess with Hawkgirl while Amazo watches:''
{{quote| '''Aquaman:'''[[Sarcasm Mode|Such scintillating repartee]], I get better conversation from the android.<br />
'''Amazo:''' [[I'm Standing Right Here|You are aware I'm in the room]]? }}
** Neither times did he vaporize them or wipe them from existence, but he could have easily.
Line 642 ⟶ 644:
* [[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:
{{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.}}
* [[Long Bus Trip]]: The writers may have wisely concluded that his presence would for the most part, have render the Justice League completely irrelevant.
* [[Mechanical Evolution]]
* [[Nanomachines]]
Line 659 ⟶ 661:
* [[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 [[Deus Est Machina|made to be the winner]].
** On his return to earth he has [[Flight]], [[Super Strength]], [[Nigh Invulnerability]] [[The Omnipotent|minus the nigh]], [[Pure Energy|vast energy manipulation]], [[Psychic Powers|psionic powers]] like [[Telepathy]] and [[Mind Over Matter|telekinesis]], [[Flight, Strength, Heart|super-hearing]], can [[Teleporters and Transporters|teleport himself across unknown distances]], [[Incredible Shrinking Man|shrink into]] a [[Subspace or Hyperspace|subatomic universe]], [[Mass Teleportation|Move entire planets to other dimensions and just as easily bring them back unharmed]], and basically any power that anyone else has, [[Magic aA Is Magic A|except magic]]..
* [[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 by His Own Petard|that was destroyed by the weapon he made to fend off Amazo.]]}}
* [[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, [[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.}}
{{quote| [[spoiler:''After Amazo gives up on killing Luthor'':<br />
'''John Stewart:''' He murders an entire planet and its over just like that I don't think so.<br />
'''Amazo:''' I did not destroy Oa, I simple moved it to another dimension.<br />
''Green lanterns Look at each other bewildered''<br />
'''Amazo:''' [[Voodoo Shark|It was in my way]].<br />
'''John Stewart:''' Then could you move it back!?<br />

’’’Voiced By:’’’ Eric Roberts }}
 
Line 697 ⟶ 699:
* [[Smug Super]]
* [[Super Strength]]
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: The first time he appeared, he basically felt like a poor man's Darkseid. The second time he appeared was an adaptation of ''[[For the Man Who Has Everything]]'' and he took SEVERAL levels in badass and was a truly menacing villain.
 
=== Atomic Skull ===
 
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Despite being a fearsome-looking metahuman, most of his screen time is spent being humiliatingly trounced by [[Badass Normal|non-powered heroes]] - and, in one case, by [[Badass Bystander|an anonymous teenaged monk]].
* [[Mauve Shirt]]: One of only a handful of Legion members to survive the finale.
* [[Vocal Dissonance]]: Sounds surprisingly whiny when we actually hear him talk.
