This page is for listing tropes related to members of "The Light", a [[The Omniscient Council of Vagueness|mysterious council]] of DC [[Big Bad|bad guys]] who seem to be behind almost every major crime the Team encounters in the animated series ''[[Young Justice (Animationanimation)|Young Justice]]''. Their alliances even extend off-planet - Desaad has supplied them with the technology of [[The New Gods]], and they add {{spoiler|the Kroloteans' "Competitor", heavily implied to be the Reach,}} to their contacts in season two.
 
While they control a large number of minor baddies from DC lore who do their bidding and dirty work, the group itself is a mere 7 members. As of season 2, the members are:
Line 11 ⟶ 12:
* Klarion the Witch Boy (L7)
 
For other characters that appear in the series, see the [[Young Justice (Animationanimation)/Characters|Young Justice Character Index]].
 
== In General ==
Line 28 ⟶ 29:
* [[Order Versus Chaos]]: Chaos to the Justice League's order. Though in this case, they don't want to destroy the world, just prevent humanity's stagnation from too much peace and status quo.
* [[Shadow Archetype]]: You might notice how there are seven members of The Light just like there were seven founding members of the Justice League.
* [[Spell My Name Withwith a "The"]]
* [[Rule of Seven]]: They have never had more than seven members at a time so far.
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Want to fast-track humanity's advancement and put Earth on top throughout the ''universe''. Unfortunately, they're also willing to do almost anything to get there.
Line 38 ⟶ 39:
== L1: Vandal Savage ==
== [[Vandal Savage]] A04 ==
{{quote| Voiced by Miguel Ferrer}}
[[File:Vandal_Savage_422.jpg|frame]]
 
Line 46 ⟶ 47:
* [[Contemplative Boss]]
* [[Contemporary Caveman]]: Very evident in his design.
* [[Earth Is the Center of Thethe Universe]]: He appearantly holds the opinion that Earth's rightful place is "at the center of the cosmos".
* [[Evil Sounds Deep]]
* [[Fallen Hero]]: [[Word of God]] is that Savage was a hero at one time or another.
Line 54 ⟶ 55:
* [[Kneel Before Zod]]: {{spoiler|At the end of "Usual Suspects" he makes the ''entire mind-controlled Justice League'' bow to him}}.
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Considering he caught {{spoiler|Wally}} by surprise, he clearly qualifies.
* {{spoiler|[[Revenge Byby Proxy]]: Subverted. He tried to kill Wally, claiming in order to take revenge against [[The Flash]]. According to him, he has a score to settle with the Scarlet Speedster. However, in reality he was only trying to delay him from his mission.}}
* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|Really 50,000 Years Old]]
* [[The Social Darwinist]]: He is a firm believer of conflict helping to advance the species. {{spoiler|He founded The Light because he believes the Justice League's goal of helping humanity is holding mankind back.}}
Line 62 ⟶ 63:
== L2: Ra's Al Ghul ==
== Ra's Al Ghul ==
{{quote| Voiced by Oded Fehr}}

Line 74 ⟶ 75:
== L3: Lex Luthor ==
== [[Lex Luthor]] ==
{{quote| Voiced by Mark Rolston}}
 
* [[Affably Evil]]: Politely spoken, kind and seems to want peace for the world. But he's still [[Lex Luthor]], and working with Savage and the others to carry out a decidedly [[The Social Darwinist|social darwinist]] agenda.
* [[Badass in Aa Nice Suit]]
* [[Bald of Evil]]: It is Lex Luthor after all...
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]
Line 89 ⟶ 90:
* [[Third Person Person]]
* [[Villain Team-Up]]: Is shown to be in one with Ra's Al Ghul in "Targets". It's only later that we learn it's because they're both members of The Light.
* [[Villain Withwith Good Publicity]]

* [[Even the Girls Want Her]]: According to Batman, she has the ability to put not just men but also some women under her thrall ([[Getting Crap Past the Radar|no doubt a thinly veiled reference]] [[Don't Explain the Joke|to her power working on lesbians]]).

== L7: Klarion ==
== Klarion the Witch Boy ==
{{quote| Voiced by Thom Adcox}}
 
* [[Adaptational Badass]]: In the comics, he's a magic user from the Witch-World. Here, he's a ''[[Powers That Be|Lord of Chaos]]'' and the actual [[Arch Enemy]] to Doctor Fate.
Line 154 ⟶ 155:
** He has lost to Nabu twice, and its unlikely Nabu was at full power either time; however, the first time he lost because his familiar was targeted, the second because he was distracted fighting the entire team at once {{spoiler|and he wasn't serious because his plan was just a distraction.}} He has yet to lose in a straight fight.
** And in the final episode of the first season, {{spoiler|[[Vandal Savage]] stops him from fighting the team- and possibly the Justice League, or at least any members who might have woken up-, not because he wouldn't win, but because he would probably ''destroy the Watchtower'' in the process. Klarion halfheartedly denies this before admitting that, yeah, he probably would}}. Its pretty obvious that he's the most powerful villain in the show at time of writing.
** [[Badass in Aa Nice Suit]]
* [[Adaptational Villainy]]: While he is morally grey in the comics, he's nowhere near this bad.
* [[All Witches Have Cats|All Witch Boys Have Cats]]
Line 165 ⟶ 166:
* [[Femme Fatalons]]: Black, of course.
* [[For the Evulz]]: [[Word of God]] is that Klarion joined the Light mostly because "it seemed like fun".
* [[Game Face]]: [[Freeze -Frame Bonus|First seen]] during his fight with [[Doctor Fate|Nabu]] in "Denial" and used throughout "Misplaced". It helps to show that [[Humanoid Abomination|he's not human at all.]]
** [[Nightmare Face]]: His eyes alone put him pretty firmly in the [[Uncanny Valley]].
* [[Horned Hairdo]]
Line 175 ⟶ 176:
* [[Oh Crap]]: When he realizes that Nabu knows what his cat actually is.
* [[Order Versus Chaos]]: In this series Klarion is a Lord of Chaos.
* [[Red and Black Andand Evil All Over]]: His [[Badass in Aa Nice Suit|normal outfit]] and overall colors are black and shades of red.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Teekl's eyes can look [[Hellish Pupils|downright demonic]] but Klarion's [[Game Face]] has a [[Uncanny Valley|rather ratlike]] pair of them as well.
* [[Right-Hand-Cat]]
* [[The Sociopath]]
* [[Spoiled Brat]]: His own minions occasionally have to act like frustrated parents.
{{quote| '''Klarion:''' This isn't T. O. Morrow. <br />
'''Sportsmaster:''' Klarion, this is Professor ''Ivo''. <br />
'''Klarion:''' I didn't order this! Send it back! ''(Teekl purrs at him)'' Morrow's in a coma? [[Cloudcuckoolander|Did I already know that?]] }}
* [[Trickster]]: Not a nice one though.
Line 190 ⟶ 191:
== L5: Ocean Master ==
== Ocean Master (Prince Orm of Atlantis) ==
{{quote| Voiced by [[Roger Craig Smith]]}}
 
* [[Bishonen]]
* [[Cain and Abel]]: With Aquaman.
* [[Dropped a Bridge Onon Him]]: Savage says that he was disgraced. This may or may not mean he's dead, but he lost his membership regardless.
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: Ocean Master is actually mentioned and appears very briefly in a flashback told as a story in "Downtime." This is before it's revealed that Orm is him or that he's a member of The Light.
* [[Foregone Conclusion]]: A version of Aquaman's brother who's a decent person? That's not gonna last long...
Line 203 ⟶ 204:
* [[Would Hurt a Child]]: Or more specifically, would hurt said child's pregnant mother in an attempt to gain her power, thereby killing said child at the same time. Luckily, he was stopped.
