Legion of Super-Heroes (TV series)/Characters
 | Some or all of these characters need descriptions. A list of tropes is not a description. Please provide at least a few words telling how these characters differ from other characters with the same tropelists. |
Superman
- Blue Eyes
- Fish Out of Water
- Flying Brick: Of course.
- Future Badass: It's not long before he proves himself pretty badass in his youth though.
- He's All Grown Up: In season two, WOW.
 |
Superman: "Who you calling skinny?" |
 |
- The Hero
- Naive Newcomer: When he's first introduced but he gets to grips with it pretty quickly.
- Nice Guy
Lightning Lad
- Artificial Arm: From "Chained Lightning" onwards.
- Butt Monkey: He really hates Legion try-outs, usually because he winds up on the receiving end of someone's demonstration.
- In the spin-off comic of the cartoon, during Infectious Lass's try-out, he wound up with a form of lava acne and got stuck with Bouncing Boy's power (and physique). What sucked worse is that, the virus that switched his power with BB's lasts longer on people with greater mass.
- Dead Little Sister: She died during the attack that granted him and his older brother their powers. Subverted in that she didn't die at all and was eventually restored to a physical form.
- Fiery Redhead
- Growing the Beard: Literal example. He's got a goatee in season two.
In-Universe - He's All Grown Up: Has a shirtless scene in Chained Lightning to demonstrate this. Much to the joy of Legion fangirls everywhere.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold
- The Lancer
- Major Injury Underreaction: "Sweet".
- Real Men Wear Pink: Has surprisingly good bedside manner, as demonstrated by him trying to get Matter-Eater Lad to eat so he would recover quickly in the hospital.
- Shock and Awe
Saturn Girl
Brainiac 5
- Brainwashed and Crazy: When Brainiac 1.0 takes control of him.
- Cute Shotaro Boy
- Die for Our Ship: His borderline obsession with Superman spawned an entire sub-group of fangirls who love the idea of Clark and Brainy together.
- Do-Anything Robot
- Estrogen Brigade Bait: His slightly Emo Teen personality, flippy blonde hair, and Woobie status says it all.
- Green Skinned Space Guy: He's not exactly Mr. Fanservice, but that hasn't stopped his horde of fangirls.
- Genius Bruiser The genius part is blatantly obvious, the bruiser part comes in when he turns into his "battle mode"
- Read: 12 foot tall mecha that has enough dakka to make someone supposedly "armed to the teeth" and member of the bad guys who took the whole legion to run like a little girl
- In-Series Nickname: "Brainy"
- Mechanical Lifeform
- Out-of-Character Moment: His entire character after the first few minutes of "Brain Drain" due to a malfunction. Hilarity Ensues.

- Peek-a-Bangs
- Zettai Ryouiki
Superman X / Kell-El
- Biological Mashup: He's the result of Superman's DNA being mixed with Kryptonite and as such is immune to the green rocks effects. It also has the added side effect of granting him different powers.
- Cloning Blues
- Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke: Created specifically to turn the tide against Imperiex in the 41st Century.
- Good Is Not Nice
- Green Eyes
Cosmic Boy
- Lawful Good
