=== Wonder Woman ===
Line 31:
* [[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
* [[Cool Plane]]: Her invisible jet, later in the series.
* [[Determinator]]: Oh, yes. Just watch her fight against Mongul--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...
* [[Everything's Better
* [[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
* [[Hot Amazon]]: Bruce Wayne seemed to enjoy watching her kick ass in "Maid of Honor".
* [[Impossible Hourglass Figure]]
Line 45:
* [[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
* [[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!"
Line 59:
* [[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
* [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]]: With Batman, much to her frustration.
* [[Victoria's Secret Compartment]]
Line 81:
* [[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 but 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
* [[The Comically Serious]]: At first. Eventually becomes a [[Deadpan Snarker]].
** He's been hanging out a lot with the Flash.
Line 94:
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: With Katma Tui (a Korugarian) and later with Shayera Hol (a Thanagarian).
* [[Jerkass]]: During the series' initial seasons.
** [[Jerk
* [[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 102:
{{quote| '''Green Lantern:''' I will not be destiny's puppet.}}
* [[Space Police]]
* [[Stranger in
* [[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:
** [[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
=== The Flash ===
Line 113:
{{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:
Quite possibly the youngest of the Original Seven, the Flash was first seen in the ''[[Superman:
* [[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
* [[Bad Liar]]: "The Great Brain Robbery" [[Crowning Moment of Funny|plays it for humor]].
* [[Bash Brothers]]: With Green Lantern.
Line 129:
* {{spoiler|[[But Now I Must Go]]}}: {{spoiler|[[Defied Trope|Defied]] when the other Leaguers pull him out of the Speed Force}}.
* [[Chivalrous Pervert]]
* [[Commuting
* [[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 164:
{{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:
* [[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--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
* [[Overshadowed
** 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.
Line 234:
* [[Platonic Life Partners]]: With Flash.
* [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|Proud Warrior Race Girl]]
* [[Put
** [[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
* [[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:
* [[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
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Tomboy to Diana's Girly Girl.
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: With Flash and Wonder Woman, the latter more so after "Starcrossed."
Line 253:
* [[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
* [[You Can't Go Home Again]]
* [[Your Cheating Heart]]: {{spoiler|In a past life, she did this to her husband with his best friend}}.
Line 276:
'''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 Bastards]]: 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

Line 282:
** 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
* [[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
* [[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
* [[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.
Line 295:
'''J'onn''': ''I'' wanted the green one... (smirks) }}
* [[Psychic Powers]]: Usually of the [[Telepathy]] variety.
* [[Put
** {{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
* [[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
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]
* [[Warrior Poet]]

=== '''Aquaman (Miguel Ferrer on ''[[Superman:
* [[Animal Talk]]: With marine life, anyway. Up to and including killer whales and the goddamn ''Kraken''.
* [[Kill It
* [[Atlantis]]
* [[Badass]]: And ''how''!
Line 321:
** Easily one of the most badass versions of Aquaman. He held his own against Wonder Woman for a while on land. As soon as he got her in the water, it was game over.
* [[Cain and Abel]]: With Ocean Master
* [[Chained to
* [[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.
Line 329:
* [[Hot-Blooded]]
* [[Nature Hero]]
* [[The Other Darrin]]: Aquaman was voiced by Miguel Ferrer in his appearance on ''[[Superman:
* [[Papa Wolf]]: You should never, ''ever'' threaten or harm his infant son. You won't live to regret it, even if you are his [[Cain and Abel|brother.]]
* [[Pet the Dog]]: Helps defend Longshadow from Cadmus Agents.
Line 342:
* [[Badass Normal]]
* [[Battle Couple]]: With Black Canary.
* [[Crimefighting
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Faking the Dead]]: In "The Cat and the Canary."
Line 410:
** [[Guns Akimbo]]
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: With Shining Knight.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]:It's [[Firefly
* [[Those Two Guys]]: With Shining Knight.
Line 427:
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: [[Playing
* [[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 445:
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Applies to BOTH her costumes!
* [[Big in Japan]]: [[In
* [[Brought to You
* [[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.
* [[Cute Bruiser]]
Line 461:
* [[Nigh Invulnerable]]
* [[Prophecy Twist]]: Benefits from one.
* [[Put
* [[Superpower Lottery]]: She has all the powers of Superman.
* [[Super Speed]]: Though not quite as fast as Flash.
Line 482:
* [[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
* [[Super Strength]]: After {{spoiler|taking the Captain Nazi serum}}.
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Pretty much the same as Waller.
Line 498:
* [[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
** 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 569:
* [[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.
* [[Everything's Better
* [[Evil Genius]]
* [[Eviler Than Thou]]: With Luthor.
Line 576:
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: ''Every'' single one of the women he's been involved with has been human. One of them WAS originally an ape, and he used his scientific abilities to turn her INTO a human!

* [[Story-Breaker Power]]: He is only in four episodes and is [[Put
