* [[Broken Aesop]]: [http://www.theouthousers.com/forum/the-news-stand/flashpoint-friday-death-solves-all-problems-t65368.html Sean Ryan] [[Word of God|intended]] for the ''Grodd Of War'' oneshot to be an allegory for how the Western world doesn't care about what happens in Africa in terms of all the needless deaths taking place there, and have Grodd be the mouthpiece... but this is undercut by the fact that ''Grodd himself'' was the one who killed the vast majority of them. In the story he's pissed that Cyborg or Captain Thunder (any heavy hitter really) is too busy with the European War to try to stop him. Grodd wants attention because he thinks his campaign is too easy and unchallenging to him, he probably expected the world's superheroes to try to band up against '''him''' and didn't expect the events in Europe to completely overshadow him like it has. For some readers, the attempt to apply a moral and real world comparisons to it fell pretty flat.

* [[Complete Monster]]: Most of the villains of the saga. Seriously.

** Special note goes to Heat Wave, here a sadistic murderer with absolutely no moral boundaries ([[Friendly Enemy|as opposed to his normal DCU portrayal]]).

** The Joker {{spoiler|AKA Martha Wayne. Like the main DCU Joker, she has a freudian excuse (although much less vague than Joker's) but her horrific, sadistic treatment of her child captives (and it's implied this is far from the only time she's done it) take her so far beyond the [[Moral Event Horizon]] it's frightening.}}

** Gorilla Grodd is a genocidal mass murderer in this timeline.

** Harvey Dent's son, who gets kidnapped by the Joker along with his sister, then has to watch {{spoiler|his sister get killed by Jim Gordon because she was dressed by the Joker. And later, he has to watch the Joker kill Jim right in front of him.}}

* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: {{spoiler|The Joker, A.K.A. Martha Wayne.}}
