'''Tropes applying to the whole company:'''
* [[Card -Carrying Villain]]: It says something that their motto is "We do evil and we do it well".
* [[Punch Clock Villain]]: The whole point of the organisation; though a lot of them are indeed sociopathic.
* [[Pragmatic Villainy]]: The reason behind the Company's existence; as explained in the series, it has been created after heroes and villains alike realized how dangerous for the supers' population it was to slaughter each others without any rules. Villains agreed it was more profitable to them to play as villains for money in exchange of letting the good guys always win.
Line 20:
* [[Diabolical Mastermind]]: His main way to compensate his lack of powers (with his [[The Charmer|Charisma]]).
* [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones]]: He might lead a supervillain company, but he truly cares about his niece Cindy.
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Sparkles]]: Often parodied to insist on how awesome he is.
* [[Evil Cannot Comprehend Good]]: Litterally. He once admitted he couldn't clearly understand the concept of saving the widow and the orphan.
* [[I Just Want to Be Special]]
 
== Hippolyte Kurtzman{{spoiler|/Sadoman}} ==
* [[Berserk Button]]: Well, technically, [[Hair -Trigger Temper|everything makes him angry]], but Kevin has the gift to piss him off ''[[Up to Eleven|even more than usual]]''.
* {{spoiler|[[Combat Sadomasochist]]: µLitterally, as Sadoman. His power allow him to convert pain (both his and others) into pure energy he can use to fight.}}
* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Oh, gosh, is he...
* [[Four Eyes Zero Soul]]: when in civilian.
* [[Hair -Trigger Temper]]: to be fair, you'd be like this too if your job was to pass day receiving supervillains wannabe with ridiculously lame powers while expecting the new [[Doctor Doom]] to show up.
* [[Large Ham]]: probably the biggest ham in the whole series. And that's something.
* {{spoiler|[[Retired Badass]]}}
Line 42:
* [[Superpower Lottery]]:
** [[Teleporters and Transporters|Teleportation]]
** [[MesMe's a Crowd]]
* {{spoiler|[[Retired Badass]]}}
 
Line 73:
* [[Nice Guy]]
* {{spoiler|[[Sociopathic Hero]]: The Damien side of Parker's personnality is terrifyingly sociopathic, to the point even the other main characters, despite being dangerous themselves, were initially afraid of him.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Super -Powered Evil Side]]}}
* [[Token Good Teammate]]
* {{spoiler|[[The Worf Effect]]: [[Defied]]. He didn't take his defeat against Pyro well and trained hard so he would be able to face her the next time.}}
Line 80:
== George Trueman ==
* [[Nice Guy]]
* [[Non -Action Guy]]: As he put it himself:
{{quote| '''George''':Deplaced demonstrations of virility aren't exactly my cup of tea.}}
* [[The Load]]: Lampshaded in season 3, when he gets mad that Hippolyte feels useless :
{{quote| '''George''':You're telling this to ''ME''?! Listen, my brother owns all the company, my youngest daughter could crush my head with her finger, [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|and even Gringo can make a better coffee than me]] ! Honestly, apart from [[Token Good Teammate|smiling like a dumbass and making the company more sympathtic]], I don't bring much here!}}
* [[Token Good Teammate]]
 
Line 109:
* [[The Chessmaster]]: They put a scheme in place from season 1 to 2 in order to take over the Flander's Company.
* {{spoiler|[[Enemy Mine]]: They team up with the Flander's Company in season 3 against Aegis.}}
* [[Incompetence, Inc.]]: other than [[Dragon -in -Chief|Carla]] and [[Badass Bookworm|Nadege]], the organisation is pretty much this; their leader is a [[Bad Boss]], their fashion designers are a duo a [[The Ditz|dumbasses]] [[Fashion Victim Villain|with horrible sense of fashion]] (in a company in charge with creating costumes for Superheroes, moreover), the boss's son is a [[Spoiled Brat]] [[Handsome Lech]], and their [[Sixth Ranger]] is a stupid supervillain-wannabe with a lame power. You gotta wonder how this organisation even works.
* [[Knight of Cerebus]]: To a minor extent: their introduction marks the point where the show started to have an actual plot.
 
Line 123:
== Jocelyn Quimjoy ==
* {{spoiler|[[Asshole Victim]]: with his depraved behaviour, arrogant attitude toward Trueman and lack of obvious lazyness, it's hard to feel sorry for him when Cindy slays him.}}
* [[Big Bad]]: Officially, he was the one leading the Flander's after Trueman was fired. In practice, however, [[Dragon -in -Chief|Carla did everything]].
* [[Casanova Wannabe]]: At one point, he tried to get Carla and Nadège to rejoice upon their victory in "alcohol and sex". They agreed for alcohol, but clearly rejected sex.
* [[The Charmer]]: The only reason he was here was to use his charisma for business relationships.
* [[The Dragon]]: To his mother Chantal.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Trueman. Both are young, dynamic directors to the Flander's Company, lack any super-power and possess hight charisma (though he sees Trueman as old). The main difference is a Trueman is a [[Badass Normal]] [[Magnificent Bastard]] while Jocelyn is a lazy [[Spoiled Brat]] who leaves all his job to his [[Dragon -in -Chief]]. They even have a fight.
* {{spoiler|[[Family -Unfriendly Death]]: Cindy cut him in pieces with her axe until only a spill of blood remains.}}
* [[Handsome Lech]]
* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]}}
Line 139:
* [[Big Bad]]: Of season 2.
* [[The Dragon]]: Technically, she was this to Jocelyn and Chantal, but...
** [[Dragon -in -Chief]]: She was pretty much the most active when it came to lead the CC. Even lampshaded when the Flander's Company is taken over, as she mentions she will be leading while Jocelyn will only sexually harass his secretary and go to parties.
* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: Tried to kill the heroes without wasting time in [[Evil Gloating]].
** She unfortunately also acts [[Genre Blind]] in season 3 by {{spoiler|failing to realize Armand would betray her once Aegis would have been disposed of. Made even humiliating by the fact ''[[Dumbass Has a Point|even Kevin and Deborah saw it coming]]''.}}
Line 191:
 
'''Tropes applying to the whole group''':
* [[Four -Temperament Ensemble]]:
** Pyro is the Sanguine
** Liam is the Choleric
Line 201:
* [[Knight of Cerebus]]: They were taken surprisingly seriously for this show. The C.C. Coroporation was just a corrupted group trying to take over the Company and had no known body count. Aegis attempted to destroy supervillains as a whole, and succeeded in killing 75 of them.
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: The whole reason behind their motivation, with the [[Knight Templar]] aspect.
* [[Well -Intentioned Extremist]]
* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]
 
Line 229:
 
== Melo ==
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: He acts cowardly and keeps goofing around, but when acting seriously, he is as dangerous as his teammates.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Especially when it comes to his attitude with Pyro.
* [[Gravity Master]]: According to the C.C.'s datas, he could initially only "slightly change gravity". [[Up to Eleven|Now however]]...
Line 243:
* [[Bad Boss]]: Threatened Gauthier and Caleb to throw them in an acid pool when they pissed him off.
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: Not as much as mainstream Armand, though. He is just unscrupulous in delivering his services only to those who can pay the price.
* [[Hair -Trigger Temper]]
* [[The Napoleon]]: To the point he forces Kevin to kneel when next to him in his desk, due to Kevin being taller than him.
 
Line 256:
== Alternate Hippolyte Kurtzman ==
* [[Camp Straight]]: He is always clean, talks and acts in a very effeminate manner, whine constantly... And he has a relationship with his universe's Carla.
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: As ridiculous as he is, he is shown to be quite effective in a fight.
* [[Functional Magic]]
** [[Whatevermancy]]: He's a master of Cheesemancy.
Line 270:
* [[The Chick]]
* [[Girls With Guns]]
* [[Rose -Haired Girl]]: Though they probably are dyed.
* [[Mind Over Matter]]: Her power is mentionned to be Telekinesis, though she appears to only use it to redirect her bullets.
