* VocalDissonance: He has a BaritoneOfStrength that usually fits with the characters he plays. The teaser for ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie'', however, shows him using his baritone voice for the king of the [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter small and adorable penguins]]. The character's voice is ironically as deep as his opponent [[EvilSoundsDeep Bowser's]], the latter of whom more believably looks like he would have a deep voice.

** He really does have a remarkable range, but doesn't see enough roles to to show this off.

** In ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'', he already voices series regular Kaldur'ahm/Aqualad/Aquaman and a half-dozen smaller roles like Black Manta, Black Lightning, and Brick. At the same time, the show had a lot of fun with the fact that Payton ''wasn't'' voicing Cyborg. He ''did'' voice the ComicBook/DoomPatrol member, Robotman, who was presetned as a parody of Cyborg called alongside the other ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' actors. He also voiced Cyborg's father Silas Stone, and Cyborg's classmate who just ''happened'' to have the exact same voice as his classic Cyborg and yelled "BOOYAH!" a lot.

** In ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', he voices Ten in the first incarnation of the Royal Flush Gang, which Joker managed. This doubles as RelationshipVoiceActor, as the entire gang were voiced by the five ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'' heroes.

** Of course, in his tour through the [[Franchise/TheDCU DC Universe]], he does show a remarkable amount of skill - listen to [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans Cyborg,]] [[WesternAnimation/YoungJustice Kaldur'ahm,]] his roles in the ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries'', and his roles in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueGodsAndMonsters''. It can get hard to believe they're all the same guy's voice.
