| 10 | [[quoteright:277:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/endeavor_anime_profile.png]] |
| 11 | |
| 12 | The Number Two Hero in the world. His Quirk, Hellflame, allows him to emit incredibly hot flames. He is known the world over for solving the most crimes, but is rather unpopular due to his coarse and off-putting demeanor and arrogance. That's not even getting into his home life... |
| 13 | ---- |
| 14 | * AbusiveParents: Anyone familiar with ''My Hero Academia'' knows that he is definitely not a good dad. [[spoiler:This fuels the Ultra-Humanite's disgust for the art exhibit being erected in Endeavor's honor]]. |
| 15 | * ActuallyPrettyFunny: When he learns of his youngest son’s belief that Midoriya is All Might’s illegitimate child, he broke down laughing. |
| 16 | * AdaptationExpansion: Chapter 19 brings out his more sympathetic traits far earlier than in canon. |
| 17 | * GeniusBruiser: He's powerfully muscled and skilled in hand-to-hand combat on top of having an extremely strong fire Quirk. He is also extremely intelligent, having the highest number of solved cases of any Hero, even when All Might is taken into account. This makes him the detective and "Dark Hero" of the current Trinity consisting of him, All Might, and Wonder Woman. Midoriya even compares him to the first Batman. |
| 18 | * TheGhost: He's been mentioned many times, but he has yet to make an actual appearance. Subverted as of chapter 19. |
| 19 | * {{Hellfire}}: As if the name of his Quirk, Hellflame, wasn't obvious enough. Unlike most variations of this trope, his fire doesn't have anything to with Hell itself, it's just really, really hot. |
| 20 | * HumansAreFlawed: Endeavor believes that you can't be human if you're perfect. This contributed to his dislike of All Might, but when All Might humbled himself when [[spoiler:he apologized for killing Noumu]], he started to gain some respect for him. |
| 21 | * IJustWantToBeLoved: After All Might humbled himself when [[spoiler:he apologized for killing Noumu]], Endeavor came to the conclusion that the thing keeping him from being at All Might's level was a show of humanity, so he decides to find a way to do that. |
| 22 | * JerkassRealization: In the wake of All Might's public apology, Endeavor starts to realize that his methods might be flawed. |
| 23 | * OnlyKnownByHisNickname: He's rarely ever referred to by his civilian name. Most people just call him Endeavor. |
| 24 | * PlayingWithFire: His Quirk, Hellflame, allows him to produce an extremely hot and powerful fire that can outright carbonize living beings if he goes all out. |
| 25 | * RequiredSecondaryPowers: How else do you explain him having a beard of fire almost 24/7? |
| 26 | * RebuiltPedestal: Endeavor regains some respect for All Might after he makes himself seem more approachable by [[spoiler:apologizing for killing Noumu]]. |
| 27 | * SecretKeeper: Just like the rest of the Top Ten, he knows that Midoriya's an alien. |

| 30 | [[folder:Heino Okata - Most Excellent Wonder Bat]] |
| 31 | !!Heino Okata - Most Excellent Wonder Bat |
| 32 | A young sidekick of Ultimon, the Number Seven Hero, and leader of the aforementioned Hero’s team of sidekicks named the Super Young Team. Most Excellent Wonder Bat was among the team of heroes who investigated Mt. Fuji after [[spoiler:the Ultra-Humanite was defeated by All Might, Firestorm, and Midoriya after his ship left the mountain]]. Due to the state of the mountain in the aftermath, Most Excellent Wonder Bat outright bought Mt. Fuji and turned it into a base for both his team as well as Ultimon’s own team Big Science Action. His Quirk? Being rich... maybe. |
| 33 | ---- |
| 34 | * AdaptationNameChange: Due to the fact Superman doesn’t exist in this universe yet, the young hero’s name is Most Excellent Wonder Bat rather than Most Excellent Superbat. |
| 35 | * CoolCar: He apparently has a "Wonder Wagon", which he claims is the closest any Hero has to having their own Batmobile. |
| 36 | * CrimefightingWithCash: He claims that his Quirk makes him as rich as he needs to be to do anything. |
| 37 | * FanBoy: Is one of both Batman and Wonder Woman, having styled his identity and costume after both. |
| 38 | * {{Foil}}: To Mount Lady, in that both treat their Hero careers more like jobs and act like shameless celebrities. However, while Mount Lady does it partially because she needs the extra publicity so that her department can pay the damages her Quirk causes, Wonder Bad does it... because he likes the lifestyle of a celebrity. While Mount Lady tends to laze around whenever she’s not on the clock, Wonder Bat gets very antsy whenever there’s an extended period of time when he doesn’t have any “real” Hero work. |
| 39 | * Fiction500: He ''bought Mt. Fuji'', a national landmark. It apparently hasn't even put a dent in his finances. His comic book counterpart is even more ridiculous in this regard, having ''bought out Japan itself'' to bring it out of a fiscal crisis. |
| 40 | * JerkassHasAPoint: As callous as he sounds about buying Mt. Fuji, Most Excellent Wonder Bat does point out people are too nervous about the landmark on account of [[spoiler: Ultra-Humanite booby-trapping it]]. Having heroes turn it into a base helps to alleviate those fears and also provides Big Science Action and the Super Young Team a much-needed base of operations. |
| 41 | * MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Claims that his Quirk is simply being rich, but nothing confirms or denies this claim. But in any case, he is fully capable of buying Mt. Fuji for his and his mentors’ teams. |
| 42 | * MyCard: Carries his own stylized business cards to give to anyone who doesn’t know him, which also contain his social media handle MOSEXBAT. |
| 43 | * MythologyGag: His claiming his Quirk is being rich is the same answer DCEU Batman gave to DCEU Flash when the latter asked about his superpower. |
| 44 | * SarcasmBlind: He takes Tsukauchi's sarcastic comment about humility as praise. |
| 45 | -->'''Tsukauchi:''' ''[reads Wonder Bat's business card, which reads "Most Excellent Wonder Bat: The Richest, Most Fabulous Hero Who Will Ever Save Your Life"]'' You're quite humble, when it comes down to it.\ |
| 46 | '''Most Excellent Wonder Bat:''' It's a gift, I know. I'm done here, so just tell all of that to the stone lady and the old guy, assuming the old guy doesn't have an aneurysm, of course. See you the next time I save the day! |
| 47 | * {{Sidekick}}: Of Ultimon. |
| 48 | * SmugSuper: He’s a Hero who’s unafraid of flaunting his wealth and is extremely casual over the fact he bought the once proud landmark of Japan. |
| 49 | * TeenIdol: He’s a fairly young hero who’s popular amongst the youth of Japan, and lives the lifestyle of a celebrity while commodifying his team and mentor’s battles for profit. However, he and his team are very serious about their careers as Heroes in spite of appearing and acting like shallow celebrities. |

| 53 | !!Uwabami |
| 54 | [[quoteright:190:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/uwabami.png]] |
| 55 | A Hero with snake powers who helps Kaori with her Vigilantism. |
| 56 | ---- |
| 57 | * AdaptationalBadass: In canon, Uwabami's Quirk wasn't shown to have offensive capabilities and she was only good for support. Here, she's a fully capable fighter with SizeShifter snakes and a NighInvulnerable body. |
| 58 | * AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Uwabami first appears well before the Stain arc. |
| 59 | * AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: Uwabami's powers come from magic in this story. |
| 60 | * DemonicPossession: Heavily implied at the end of "The Daily Struggles of U.A. High School Janitor Hana Aoi, Age 32, Blood Type O, Three Sizes Moderately Satisfying, Part 2". |
| 61 | * LadyOfWar |
| 62 | * MeaningfulName: Her Hero name roughly means "giant snake". In addition, her nickname "Jackie" could be derived from "Jakuzure", a name that contains the kanji for "snake". |
| 63 | * MysteriousPast: She appears to have some personal connection to Kaori, and it's implied that she's very familiar with the spider creature that was possessing Nuo Harime. |
| 64 | * NamedByTheAdaptation: "The Daily Struggles of U.A. High School Janitor Hana Aoi, Age 32, Blood Type O, Three Sizes Moderately Satisfying, Part 2" makes it clear that her name is derived from the nickname "Jackie", in some way. |
| 65 | * NighInvulnerable: Bullets don't seem to have any effect on her. |
| 66 | * SizeShifter: In this story, her snakes have the power to increase in size as they attack people. |
| 67 | * SnakePeople |
| 68 | * TeleportGun: Another power of the snakes in her hair. When one snake eats something, another snake is able to spit it right back out. |

| 74 | The Number Ten Hero who helps Kaori with her Vigilantism. |
| 75 | ---- |
| 76 | * AdaptationalBadass: In addition to his canonical powers, Gang Orca also has [[MakingASplash water-based abilities]]. |
| 77 | * AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Gang Orca first appears well before the Stain arc. |
| 78 | * AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: In addition to his canonical powers, Gang Orca also has [[MakingASplash water-based abilities]], though it's unclear what the exact nature of his abilities are in this story. |
| 79 | * DemonicPossession: Implied, given his association with Uwabami and Toytoy. |
| 80 | * FaceOfAThug: His face is literally that of an orca's, and he was voted number three on the list of Heroes who look like Villains. |
| 81 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Admonishes Hardquannone for being a Vigilante, yet he has no problem working with Kaori. He gets over it by the end of "The Woman who Doesn't Laugh", but before then, it was implied that him making an exception for Kaori ties into his MysteriousPast. |
| 82 | * MakingASplash: In this story, Gang Orca can also shoot water at people. |
| 83 | * MysteriousPast: He appears to have some personal connection to Kaori, and it's implied that he's very familiar with the spider creature that was possessing the Spider Woman. |
| 84 | * SecretKeeper: Just like the rest of the Top Ten, he knows that Midoriya's an alien. |
| 85 | * SharpDressedMan |
| 86 | * SuperScream: Can do anything an orca can on land, including a sonar attack. |
| 87 | * WrestlerInAllOfUs: Defeats the Spider Woman with a guillotine drop. |

| 91 | [[folder:Firestorm]] |
| 92 | !!Firestorm |
| 93 | A young, undefeated Hero who works in the United States but comes to Japan to hunt down a Villain who stole S.T.A.R. Labs tech. His story began seven years ago after a freak accident at the Hudson University Nuclear Plant in New Carthage, New York fused two scientists together at the subatomic level, allowing them to act as one person with a potent mix of AtomicSuperpower, PlayingWithFire, and transmutation abilities. |
| 94 | ---- |
| 95 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: He has one in the form of Killer Frost, an ice-slinging Villain who froze downtown Brooklyn because Firestorm wouldn't marry her. Of course, [[spoiler:he's already HappilyMarried]], so his aversion to her is understandable. |
| 96 | * AdaptationOriginConnection: Firestorm has close ties to S.T.A.R. Labs in this story, seeking out the mysterious thief in place of The Flash. |
| 97 | * AfraidOfTheirOwnStrength: He mentions that he rarely uses his transmutation abilities because of how dangerous and hard-to-control they are. Given their potential to turn him into a PersonOfMassDestruction, this is wholly justified. |
| 98 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Firestorm is a nice, friendly guy, but when he gets enraged at [[spoiler:Ultra-Humanite seemingly killing Midoriya]], his anger and the Firestorm Matrix starts transmuting things around him and even the ground beneath his feet with each step while declaring he'd kill [[spoiler:Ultra-Humanite]] even if he had to turn Mt. Fuji into a pillar of salt to do so is enough to make [[spoiler:the Ultra-Humanite]] and All Might to break out in a cold sweat. |
| 99 | * CallingYourAttacks: One of his finishing moves is called [[Myth/NorseMythology Surtr Impact]]. |
| 100 | * CompositeCharacter: Firestorm is much more mature and professional like his ''Series/{{Arrowverse}}'' incarnation at first. After meeting All Might, he becomes much more energetic and excitable like his ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueAction'' version. His general power level as a PersonOfMassDestruction more closely matches his comic book version. |
| 101 | * {{EMP}}: While it takes time to charge, Firestorm can emit powerful {{EMP}}s that can shut down even the toughest robots with ease thanks to one of the Quirks of the people that compose him. |
| 102 | * FlamingHair: Has fire shooting out of his head instead of hair. |
| 103 | * FlyingFirepower: His most frequently used powers are his ability to sling fire and fly. |
| 104 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: His SecretIdentity as [[spoiler:Hisashi Midoriya]] is heavily implied throughout the story. |
| 105 | ** While landing in front of Midoriya Firestorm says that he knows who it is and to let him handle the situation. |
| 106 | ** While getting Midoriya to stop rambling, Firestorm has to pause to think before calling Midoriya, "kid", indicating that he would have said something else under normal circumstances. |
| 107 | ** [[spoiler:Hisashi]] is Japanese, which would explain why Firestorm looks Asian rather than Caucasian or African-American like Ronnie Raymond and Jason Rusch. |
| 108 | ** [[spoiler:Hisashi has a [[BreathWeapon fire breathing]] Quirk.]] Firestorm outright says that his abilities are composed of two people's Quirks, one of which is a fire Quirk, and the Firestorm Matrix. |
| 109 | ** After Midoriya discovers the door to the Villain's lair, Firestorm says "He is smart, isn't he?" the way [[spoiler:a proud father would.]] |
| 110 | ** He calls Midoriya by his given name while on the verge of being killed by one of [[spoiler:the Ultra-Humanite's]] robots. |
| 111 | ** Firestorm immediately goes into a RoaringRampageOfRevenge after a brief period of StunnedSilence when [[spoiler:the Ultra-Humanite seemingly blasts Midoriya off Mt. Fuji to his death with an ionic disruptor cannon.]] Even All Might has never seen this level of anger and fury within a young Hero before. While [[spoiler:the Ultra-Humanite]] attributes this to Firestorm's relative youth and newness to heroics, this can also be interpreted as a natural PapaWolf reaction. |
| 112 | ** What immediately calmed him down was [[spoiler:Midoriya's return, which Firestorm outright cheered compared to the surprise of everyone else present.]] |
| 113 | ** Firestorm's reaction to finding out that Midoriya is an alien is never mentioned. Firestorm is also wholly supportive of Midoriya even after the fact. |
| 114 | * HypocriticalHumor: Firestorm brushes off Midoriya's fanboying over him because he "[[HeroWorshipper knows the type]]". The minute "Mr. Yagi" reveals himself to be All Might, it's Firestorm's turn to start fanboying. |
| 115 | -->'''All Might:''' ''[after saving Firestorm from a robot]'' Are you alright, Firestorm?\ |
| 116 | '''Firestorm:''' Yeah, relatively speaking. More importantly, you're All Might! You're really All Might! I can't believe that sickly, old man was All Might, the whole time!\ |
| 117 | '''All Might:''' Well, I had my reasons for-wait, old? I understand sickly, but old?\ |
| 118 | '''Firestorm:''' Ah, no, sorry! I didn't mean to upset you. ''[to Professor Stein]'' Shut up, it's All Might! I'm allowed to be happy about this!\ |
| 119 | '''All Might:''' Excuse me?\ |
| 120 | '''Firestorm:''' Wasn't talking to you, it was just-oh, goddammit! |
| 121 | * FusionDance: He's the product of two scientists merging together to act as one individual. |
| 122 | * IAlwaysWantedToSayThat: Firestorm is very happy to be able to use All Might's trademark "I am/We are here!" CatchPhrase during their BigDamnHeroes moment. |
| 123 | -->'''All Might:''' There won't be anymore evildoing going on today, Villain!\ |
| 124 | '''Firestorm:''' For we are here! I've always wanted to do that. |
| 125 | * InvincibleHero: According to Midoriya, Firestorm has never lost a single battle in his Hero career. He ''does'' come close to dying after some robots managed to effectively nullify his powers, but he's swiftly rescued by All Might afterward. |
| 126 | * TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: As mentioned above, Firestorm is a huge fan of All Might's and can't contain his excitement around him. |
| 127 | * MonochromaticEyes: He has no irises, only white sclera. |
| 128 | * NiceGuy: While he initially comes off as a ConsummateProfessional, that facade falls away after meeting All Might, revealing Firestorm to be an extremely empathetic and upbeat guy who is supportive of Midoriya's heroic aspirations and not caring that he's an alien despite widespread and accepted [[FantasticRacism anti-alien sentiments]] in the world. |
| 129 | * NuclearMutant: He was created when two scientists were fused together on a subatomic level by a freak accident at a fusion reactor. |
| 130 | * OneManArmy: Firestorm wrecks 200 robots in rapid succession with just his fireballs and waves of fire while only suffering a single stab wound to the leg while protecting Midoriya and "Mr. Yagi". |
| 131 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: After calling Midoriya by his last name for the entirety of their time together, [[spoiler:Firestorm suddenly calls him by his given name when the latter was nearly killed by robots.]] |
| 132 | * PapaWolf: Firestorm is extremely protective of Midoriya despite only just meeting him and tries to get him out of danger at the first sign of a Villain's presence. His sheer rage when [[spoiler:Midoriya is seemingly killed]] gives even All Might, a PapaWolf himself, pause. [[spoiler:Of course, he's Midoriya's adoptive father, so this reaction is only natural.]] |
| 133 | * PlayingWithFire: One of his most frequent uses of his powers is to shoot balls or waves of fire at his foes. |
| 134 | * PersonOfMassDestruction: He threatens to transmute all of Mt. Fuji into a pillar of salt if necessary to kill [[spoiler:the Ultra-Humanite after he pissed him off by seemingly killing Midoriya.]] |
| 135 | * RaceLift: The person controlling Firestorm's body is the Japanese [[spoiler:Hisashi Midoriya]] instead of the Caucasian Ronnie Raymond or the African-American Jason Rusch. |
| 136 | * RedIsHeroic: His costume is primarily red and yellow. |
| 137 | * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Firestorm is royally ''pissed'' after [[spoiler:the Ultra-Humanite seemingly kills Midoriya]] and threatens to turn all of Mt. Fuji into a pillar of salt if it means taking [[spoiler:the Ultra-Humanite]] down. Both All Might and [[spoiler:the Ultra-Humanite]] are appropriately unnerved at the young Hero's fury. The latter chocks this response up to Firestorm's relative youth. [[spoiler:In truth, he's acting on his paternal instincts as Midoriya's father.]] |
| 138 | -->'''Firestorm:''' ''[to Professor Stein]'' Don't lecture me, old man. ''[turns a robot into a pile of rocks]'' I don't need you screaming in my ear, right now. ''[turning the ground beneath his feat into different gemstones with every step]'' Don't tell me to calm down! I'm going to kill this bastard! Right here! Right now! And I don't care if I have to turn this whole mountain into a pillar of salt to do so! |
| 139 | * SecretIdentity: Unlike most Heroes, Firestorm keeps his identity a secret in order to protect the secret of the Firestorm Matrix and prevent harmful and likely lethal attempts to forcibly fuse people together the way he was. One half of him is Professor Martin Stein, who is only alluded to by Firestorm's dialogue. All Might learns about this while saving Firestorm and promises to keep it a secret. [[spoiler:The other half of him is Hisashi Midoriya.]] |
| 140 | * SecretKeeper: By the end of the Mt. Fuji incident, Firestorm is aware of Midoriya's alien heritage, but can't bring himself to hold it against him after seeing Midoriya in action. So he keeps Midoriya's involvement in the incident and his knowledge of the young alien's true nature a secret. [[spoiler:Of course, this is easy for him to accept, because he's Hisashi Midoriya.]] |
| 141 | * SelfDeprecation: Firestorm doesn't really see himself as a Hero, just someone who's doing it out of obligation. |
| 142 | * StunnedSilence: Twice. The first after [[spoiler:Midoriya is blasted off Mt. Fuji by the Ultra-Humanite]], the second after [[spoiler:Midoriya tells him that he considers Inko and Hisashi Midoriya his real parents.]] |
| 143 | * SuperheroSobriquets: "Nuclear Man". |
| 144 | * SuperpowerLottery: He effectively has three Quirks: his PlayingWithFire Quirk, his {{EMP}} Quirk, and the Firestorm Matrix that allows him to fly and transmute matter. These abilities have served him well, as he has never lost a battle in his Hero career and he threatens to reduce Mt. Fuji into a pillar of salt while threatening [[spoiler:the Ultra-Humanite.]] |
| 145 | * SupermanStaysOutOfGotham: Subverted. While he does most of his work in the States, his fluency in Japanese and ability to fly gets Flash and S.T.A.R. Labs to send Firestorm to Japan to deal with the Villain who stole S.T.A.R. Labs tech. This also means that he has little fame in Japan, which works to his advantage when [[spoiler:he's ducking into an alleyway to separate into Hisashi and Professor Stein.]] |
| 146 | * TalkingToThemself: Firestorm is often speaking to no one in particular and seems to be holding conversations with himself, which baffles All Might and Midoriya. He later explains himself by revealing that both consciousnesses that make up his form are still active, which is why he's able to use two Quirks as well as the Firestorm Matrix. Those familiar with Firestorm will know that he's one-half Professor Martin Stein, a Nobel Prize-winning nuclear physicist. |
| 147 | * YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Shares one with All Might while trying to assuage Midoriya's fears of his own growing array of ComboPlatterPowers. |
| 148 | -->'''Midoriya:''' I mean, when my powers first came in, all I could do was jump really high and punch people way too hard. By the time I was ten, I could shoot lasers out of my eyes and knock people down just by exhaling. Now I'm fourteen going on fifteen, and all of a sudden, I can fly. Am I just going to keep getting more and more powers, the older I get? When I'm eighteen, are bones going to start shooting out of my fists? When I'm twenty, is my body going to turn into electricity, and I'll just zap everything around me? Is it ever going to end? Am I even going to be able to control it, forever?\ |
| 149 | '''All Might:''' Of course you will! Even if you end up with a million different powers, there will always be a way for you to control yourself. I'm not going to say that it'll be easy, but you already don't want to hurt anyone, right? If you ask me, that's the most important step, there is.\ |
| 150 | '''Midoriya:''' ''[looking down at the ground]'' Still, though…\ |
| 151 | '''Firestorm:''' Don't get like that, kid. He just said he believes in you, didn't he? That's the second most important step. Even if you have no confidence in yourself, never forget that there will always be people who care about you. |

| 155 | !!Barry Allen - The Flash II |
| 156 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/latest_179.jpg]] |
| 157 | Barry Allen, better known as Franchise/TheFlash, was a simple forensic scientist before a freak lab accident gave him blistering SuperSpeed. He regularly battles The Rogues and Black Hole to keep the denizens of Central City safe. Because of this, he is unable to head to Japan to retrieve stolen S.T.A.R. Labs tech, instead notifying the Japanese Hero community and sending Firestorm in his place. |
| 158 | ---- |
| 159 | * ActionDad: To twins Don and Dawn, with Iris West. |
| 160 | * AdaptationalPersonalityChange: While Barry is still largely TheGenericGuy like in the comics, he's also shown to sometimes be as much of a clown as Wally, and he's also apparently a stoner. |
| 161 | * AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: A variant. While Barry has his signature SuperSpeed like in the comics, he does a quirk alongside his speed, in this case a forensic analysis quirk. |
| 162 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Wally has surpassed him in raw speed, making Barry the second fastest man in the world. Even then, Barry's superior experience makes him better able to lead in stressful situations, as shown when he has to give Wally pointers. |
| 163 | * BadassFamily: He and his nephews, both named Wally West, are Central City's staunchest defenders and some of the fastest Heroes alive. |
| 164 | * ComboPlatterPowers: He has a Forensic Analysis Quirk and his trademark SuperSpeed, allowing him to quickly work out what exactly happened at a crime scene and act on it. |
| 165 | * CompositeCharacter: He works with S.T.A.R. Labs like his Series/{{Arrowverse}} counterpart, but seems to have much of the history of his comics counterpart. |
| 166 | * CoolUncle: He's this to his nephews, who much prefer hanging out with him than their own AbusiveParents. |
| 167 | * HappilyMarried: To Iris West. |
| 168 | * FreakLabAccident: He got his powers when a lightning bolt burst into the lab he was working in, interacting with various chemicals to give Barry his trademark speed. |
| 169 | * GiverOfLameNames: His [[AllThereInTheManual Flash Fact]] implies that this is the reason his kids-Don and Dawn - have similar sounding names, though Barry claims that [[ItMakesSenseInContext Iris told him it's a popular naming convention in the 30th. century]]. |
| 170 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: He's blond-haired and a very kind and capable Hero. |
| 171 | * InventorOfTheMundane: Barry created "speed weed," a form of marijuana supercharged by Speed Force energy to create an extreme high. He's apparently made too much money to count selling it. |
| 172 | * TheLeader: Of both the Flash Family and the Flash & Flash Hero Agency. |
| 173 | * LegacyCharacter: He's not the first Flash (that honor would go to Jay Garrick) and he's certainly not the last, as his nephews, both Wally Wests, are raring to take up the mantle. |
| 174 | * MundaneUtility: Since marijuana is legal in all fifty-seven states, Barry uses bits of Speed Force energy on his joints to supercharge them and give him an even better high to relax. He also makes incredible amounts of money making this "speed weed". |
| 175 | * OneSteveLimit: [[AvertedTrope Averted]], as both he and Wally go by "the Flash." |
| 176 | * ParentalSubstitute: To both Wally and Wallace. |
| 177 | * {{Protectorate}}: Flash's protectorate is Central City, as in canon, which contributes to the SupermanStaysOutOfGotham trope. He ''could'' go after the guy en route to Japan with stolen S.T.A.R. Labs tech and ''wants'' to intervene, but every second he spends away from home is an extra second in which the Rogues and Black Hole get to wreak havoc. |
| 178 | * RedIsHeroic: His costume is primarily red with yellow accents. |
| 179 | * TheStoner: Barry created "speed weed," a form of marijuana supercharged by Speed Force energy to create an extreme high. He's apparently made too much money to count selling it. |
| 180 | * SuperSpeed: He's one of the fastest Heroes in the world. |
| 181 | * SuperheroSobriquets: The Scarlet Speedster. |
| 182 | * SupermanStaysOutOfGotham: Due to differing jurisdictions and having his own hands full with the Rogues and Black Hole, Barry Allen, better known as The Flash, decides not to intervene after S.T.A.R.

| 189 | |
| 190 | The fastest man alive and the newest Flash. He left his abusive parents to live with his much nicer and cooler uncle, Barry Allen, before discovering that he was the Flash. After replicating the experiment that gave Barry his powers, Wally joined his uncle as a crimefighting speedster. |
| 191 | ---- |
| 192 | * AdaptationalBadass: This version of Wally has a Quirk, in addition to his SuperSpeed. |
| 193 | * AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: A variant. Like Barry, while Wally has his signature SuperSpeed like in the comics, he does a quirk alongside his speed. |
| 194 | * ComboPlatterPowers: He and his cousin Wallace both have the power to create a wall out of anything they punch, be it the air, the ground, or other materials nearby in addition to their SuperSpeed. |
| 195 | * CompositeCharacter: Wally's personality takes a lot of inspiration from the DCAU version, but his history from the comics is still used and his costume is the one he's worn since the beginning of ComicBook/DCRebirth. |

| 197 | * HappilyMarried: To Linda Park. |

| 199 | * OneSteveLimit: Subverted. He and his cousin Wallace have the same name (redhead Wally is Wally West II, while his cousin is Wally West III). Redhead Wally calls himself "Wally" while Wally III is referred to as "Wallace" to distinguish them. |
| 200 | * RedIsHeroic: In addition to having the scarlet red costume, Wally is also a redhead. |
| 201 | * StevenUlyssesPerhero: A guy with a Quirk that lets him create walls is named "Wally". |
| 202 | * SuperSpeed: He's ''the'' fastest Hero in the business, surpassing even Barry. |
| 203 | * SurpassedTheTeacher: He is the fastest man alive, surpassing his mentor in raw speed. |
| 204 | * TruerToTheText: Wally's relationship with his aunt Iris is this. The story uses her original origin of being an orphan sent back in time from the 30th. century, meaning the two aren't actually related by blood. While their relationship is still the same, it avoids the common practice of adaptations and retellings making them related by blood. |

| 211 | * AdaptationalBadass: He has a Quirk that lets him telepathically communicate with the animals he's bonded with. |
| 212 | * AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: In the comics, he's a BadassNormal with extensive prep time and a DealWithTheDevil to gain a HealingFactor.

| 220 | * SpeaksFluentAnimal: He's the first member of the Batfamily to develop a Quirk, which lets him establish a telepathic link with animals he's bonded with. This makes Kouda a big fan of his, as Damian would lead his pets into battle during his nightly crusades to protect Gotham. |
| 221 | * {{Tykebomb}}: He was raised by the League of Assassins as a child to be an expert martial artist, tactician, detective, and assassin. |
| 222 | * VigilanteMan: He's noted to be particularly brutal when compared to the previous Batmen and works outside of the law when a legalized system supported by his brothers exists. |

| 272 | !!The Legion of Super-Heroes |
| 273 | In the 30th Century, Earth has become a very different place. Xenophobia, war, and pollution are things of the past, and society has advanced in the fields of technology. However, there is still conflict and even Villains both on Earth and beyond. Thus, the ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes was born. Taking inspiration from Superman, also known as Izuku Midoriya and Kal-El of Krypton, the Legion recruits like-minded individuals all across the universe to help maintain order and peace by battling the evil forces that would threaten it. They use their flight ring as both a symbol of membership and grants each member the ability to fly. Besides maintaining peace in their own time, they also handle matters that involve the use of time-travel. The main members that travel back in time to Midoriya’s early years are Saturn Girl, Chameleon Boy, Lightning Lad, and Brainiac 5. |
| 274 | ---- |
| 275 | * DeadpanSnarker: Both Chameleon Boy and Lightning Lad can’t help but snark at the time-traveling assassin’s protests. |
| 276 | * TheEmpath: Irma Ardeen, better known as Saturn Girl, is able to read minds and feel the emotions lingering in others. Just before she leaves the 21st century, she decides to feel Midoriya's mind, finding his doubt, fear, and nervousness along with his determination, bravery, and hope. |
| 277 | * HeroOfAnotherStory: [[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/neither-a-bird-nor-a-plane-its-deku-mha-x-dcu.610714/page-7#post-46248376 In an officially recognized short sidestory]] written by the The Infamous Man, a member of the Cult of Evil from the 30th century had traveled back in time to assassinate Midoriya with a Kryptonite bullet while he was hunting down his spaceship. The would-be assassin was foiled before he could even lay eyes on his quarry by a team from the Legion of Super-Heroes, Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl, Chameleon Boy, and Brainiac 5. All of them express their desire to meet Midoriya at some point, but acknowledge that this wasn't the time before returning back to the 30th century. Midoriya isn't aware of any of these events occurring because he had filtered out the background noise and was wholly focused on what he'd already set out to do. |
| 278 | * HeroWorshipper: In the 30th century, they were inspired by Midoriya, who would later become known as Superman, and All Might. The Legion members refer to both of them as "living legends" in their time. |
| 279 | * InMediasRes: They're introduced after they already foiled the assassin and are about to interrogate him. |
| 280 | * LamePunReaction: Saturn Girl, Lightning Lad, and Chameleon Boy all groan when Brainiac 5 makes a time-travelling pun. |
| 281 | -->'''Saturn Girl:''' I hope we do meet him, one day. For real this time.\ |
| 282 | '''Brainiac 5:''' We will one day. It's only a matter of time. ''[other Legionnaires groan]'' |
| 283 | * MindProbe: Saturn Girl threatens to do this to the assassin if he doesn’t cooperate by telling them who hired him. She doesn’t like doing it, but will if left no other choice. |
| 284 | * MotorMouth: Brainiac 5 starts rambling when he discusses the affiliations of the assassin the Legion just stopped and the fact that the 21st century has a pollution problem. |
| 285 | -->'''Brainiac 5:''' ''[to Saturn Girl]'' You want to see him.\ |
| 286 | '''Saturn Girl:''' Can you blame me? We’re just a few miles away from him. Back when he discovered his origins. It’s the stuff that’s shown in holo-vids everywhere. Plus... he could use some friends before he enters his training period.\ |
| 287 | '''Brainiac 5:''' Yes, he could. But not yet. He needs to find himself first, and when he does... He’ll take the first steps needed to make our future. A future that’s moved past... this fairly ugly time. ''[pulls out a napkin to wipe his hands]'' And unsanitary. So can we go now, please? I feel the need to begin stating the periodic timetable to keep my mind occupied from all the pollution we are currently inhaling. I mean really. Fossil fuels? Do they have any idea how horrid it all smells? And don’t get me started on those glass bottles I saw on the ground in our arriva-!\ |
| 288 | '''Saturn Girl:''' All right Brainy. All right... Don’t short-circuit on us. Let’s go home. |
| 289 | * ProHumanTranshuman: Many of the members of the Legion are aliens and they protect both Earthlings and offworlders alike. |
| 290 | * ShoutOut: |
| 291 | ** Brainiac 5’s clothing choice is clearly inspired by [[Series/DoctorWho the Eleventh Doctor’s]] outfit. |
| 292 | ** Lightning Lad mentions [[ComicBook/TheAuthority Midnighter]] attempting to assassinate Adolf Hitler during Earth’s First World War, which was done during [[Creator/GarthEnnis Garth Ennis’]] run in the character’s solo series. |
| 293 | * TheSmartGuy: Brainiac 5 is this for the legion, due to being their leader and generally knowing more than the others of what is going on. |
| 294 | * ThisIsSomethingHesGotToDoHimself: Brainy invokes this to keep the other Legion members from running up to Midoriya in the present, warning against the [[ForWantOfANail butterfly effect]] it can cause. |

| 301 | ---- |
| 302 | * AdaptedOut: Save for Gideon, none of the Legends from the original TV show are on the team. However, since this team is flying the Waverider Mk. XVI, it's possible that they're simply a later iteration of the Legends. |
| 303 | * AdaptationOriginConnection: None of the characters who weren't {{Original Character}}s had anything to do with the original Legends of Tomorrow. |
| 304 | * AllThereInTheManual: The team's familial relations are revealed by the author in Spacebattles comments. |
| 305 | * GenderEqualEnsemble: Counting Gideon, there are four men and four women on the team. |

| 313 | |
| 314 | !!!Captain Selene Wayne - Batgirl |
| 315 | The captain of the Waverider Mk. XVI |
| 316 | ---- |
| 317 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Has slightly orange skin thanks to her Tamaranean heritage. |
| 318 | * AnachronismStew: Midoriya is confused when he sees Batgirl, as there hasn't been one for years by his time. |
| 319 | * DarkIsNotEvil: As is common with the Batfamily. |
| 320 | * {{Expy}}: Of Nightstar/Mar'i Grayson, who's actually her great-grandmother. |
| 321 | * HalfHumanHybrid: Captain Selene is a descendant of a human and a Tameranean. |
| 322 | * HandBlast: As part of her being a descendant of Starfire. |
| 323 | * HeroicLineage: Her great-great-grandparents are [[ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} Dick Grayson]] and ComicBook/{{Starfire}}. Her last name aslo implies that she's a descendant of [[ComicBook/{{Batman}} Bruce Wayne]] as well. |
| 324 | ** LegacyCharacter: She's also the current Batgirl in whatever time period she hails from. |
| 325 | * TheLeader: As the captain of the Waverider Mk. XVI. |
| 326 | * PurpleIsPowerful: Her costume is colored purple in various areas, most likely in reference to Starfire. |
| 327 | * SurroundedByIdiots: Her reactions to seeing the rest of her team destroy the Midoriyas' apartment make it seem like that. |
| 328 | |

| 332 | * CannotTellALie: She has never lied to the Legends before, which Volk brings up when Warhawk brings up disbelief when a time vortex opens just as she says it would. |
| 333 | -->'''Warhawk:''' Huh. Guess Gideon was telling the truth.\ |
| 334 | '''Volk:''' When—mrrrrrrr—has she ever been known to lie? |
| 335 | * CoolShip: The Waverider Mk. XVI, a spaceship that can travel through time and is equipped with massive cannons powerful enough to fend off Brainiac's Skull Ships. Unfortunately, it has a bad tendency to stop working at the worst of times. |
| 336 | * WaveMotionGun: Her Bleed Buster fires a powerful beam of red energy strong enough to punch a hole clean through Brainiac's Skull Ship. |
| 337 | |

| 339 | A crewmember of the Waverider Mk. XVI with [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Spider-Man-like]] abilities. |

| 343 | * AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Her costume is themed around spiders and rams. |
| 344 | * DeadpanSnarker: Acts as such in fights and regular conversation. |
| 345 | * {{Expy}}: Of ComicBook/SpiderGwen. |
| 346 | * HeroicLineage: According to the author, Gordium is related to [[AdaptationalHeroism Black Spider]]. |
| 347 | * MeaningfulName: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordium Gordium]] was the location of the mythical Gordian Knot, and considering she's an {{Expy}} of a [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Spider-person]], it makes sense that she'd name herself after an unbreakable knot. |
| 348 | * RedIsHeroic: A large portion of her costume is red. |
| 349 | * SensualSpandex: The narration describes her costume as skintight. |
| 350 | |
| 351 | !!!Starro/Jarro - Robin |
| 352 | The former alien conqueror who's now a reformed Hero and a crewmember of the Waverider Mk. XVI. |
| 353 | ---- |
| 354 | * AnnoyingYoungerSibling: He calls Selene "Sis" (which she doesn't reciprocate) and is as much of a nuisance to her as he is a help. |
| 355 | * AuthorAppeal: Jarro being a Legend is most likely playing off of the author's previously expressed appreciation of Starro's characterization from ComicBook/DarkNightsMetal, onwards. |
| 356 | * BrainInAJar: Well, starfish alien in a jar, but Jarro is kept suspended in a glass jar filled with fluid, through which he controls his armored gorilla body. |
| 357 | * CallingYourAttacks: Gorilla Knee! Gorilla Punch! |
| 358 | * FaceOfAThug: Jarro is a miniature version of Starro the Conqueror, the most feared alien to ever arrive on Earth and Midoriya screams in horror at the sight of him. Despite this, Jarro is jovial, playful, and devoted to doing the right thing by protecting Midoriya. Midoriya finds the whole group intimidating enough that he tries to sneak away from them until they catch him again. |
| 359 | -->'''Jarro:''' Something on my face? ''[while Midoriya screams and squirms in his grip]'' Oh, wait, it's the whole, "evil alien overlord in a glass jar" thing, isn't it? Come on, man, no one likes having their Twitter history brought up! |
| 360 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: No one on the team appears to respect him. |
| 361 | * InsistentTerminology: Insists on being referred to as "Robin," but the rest of the crew refuses to do so. |
| 362 | * LegacyCharacter: He's the current (or at least, self-proclaimed) Robin in whatever time period he hails from. |
| 363 | * MythologyGag: Jarro being a future Robin is referencing a DreamSequence he had in ComicBook/JusticeLeague2018, which, in turn, was a bit of a FandomNod. |
| 364 | * ReformedCriminal: Starro tried to mind control all of Earth in a terrible event that led to the founding of the Justice Society. As Jarro, he's a genuine hero. |
| 365 | * SuperStrength: Jarro's gorilla body is strong enough to keep a squirming five-year-old Midoriya from wriggling out of his grasp and drop kick a proxy of Brainiac down a hallway. |
| 366 | |
| 367 | !!!Kurisu |
| 368 | The only "normal" person on the Waverider Mk. XVI. Kurisu is cool, aloof, and distant, but she shows a motherly side from time-to-time. |
| 369 | ---- |
| 370 | * FieryRedhead: Inverted. She's red-headed, but she's by far the most distant and levelheaded member of the team. |
| 371 | * OriginalCharacter: She's the only Legend who's both a completely OriginalCharacter and has no connection to any pre-established characters. |
| 372 | * TheStoic: She's far less emotional than her compatriots, responding to Selene's orders with a bored "Aye, aye, Captain." and an eye roll, preferring not to emote at all if possible. |
| 373 | * SugarAndIcePersonality: Kurisu is aloof and distant, not even looking at others when she's speaking to them. But just as Midoriya is about to burst into more tears and screaming, she walks over to calm him down with gentle pats to the head and words of comfort. As soon as he does, she turns away again. |
| 374 | |
| 375 | !!!Volk |
| 376 | A member of the Green Lantern Corps who hails from the planet Maag, where he and others are beings made of pure lava encased in molten rock. In present/[[TimeTravelTenseTrouble future day]], he works as a crewmember on the Waverider Mk. XVI. |
| 377 | ---- |
| 378 | * AuthorAppeal: The author described Volk as being too awesome ''not'' to use. |
| 379 | * BizarreAlienBiology: His head is a volcano. |
| 380 | * CharacterTics: He rumbles with an "rrrrrrr" sound between phrases, rumbling the way a walking volcano would. |
| 381 | * {{Determinator}}: Being a Green Lantern makes this a requirement. |
| 382 | * HeroicSpirit: Presumably, as a Green Lantern he'd be able to push through nearly anything with sheer willpower. |
| 383 | * ImaginationBasedSuperpower: Like all Green Lanterns, Volk is able to create virtually anything with his Power Ring, only limited by its charge and his imagination. |
| 384 | * PileBunker: Fashions one with his Power Ring to punch Joubu/Brainiac away. |
| 385 | |
| 386 | !!!Astro |
| 387 | An orphan from Warworld who wields a powerful black spear called the Org and works as a crewmember on the Waverider Mk. XVI. |
| 388 | ---- |
| 389 | * AdaptationOriginConnection: Warworld and Industria are one and the same and one of the alien tyrants Astro had to fight was Mongul. |
| 390 | * CanonWelding: In this story, Industria and Warworld are one and the same, and Mongul was one of the alien tyrants Astro had to fight. |
| 391 | * HeroOfAnotherStory: He was the protagonist of Horikoshi's previous story ''Manga/{{Barrage}}''. |
| 392 | * KidHero: He's a young teenager who travels through time to stop villainy and has defeated the likes of Mongul, who is often portrayed as Superman's peer if not physical superior, on his own. |
| 393 | * RummageSaleReject: He's still wearing rags from his time on Warworld despite joining a superhero team. |
| 394 | * TransformingWeapon: The Org usually takes the form of a bracelet when not in use, but turns into a spear when it's time for battle. |
| 395 | * {{Transplant}}: From ''Manga/{{Barrage}}'', one of Horikoshi's earlier works that was CutShort. |
| 396 | |
| 397 | !!!Rex Stewart - Warhawk |
| 398 | The son of John Stewart and Shayera Hol and a crewmember of the Waverider Mk. XVI. |
| 399 | ---- |
| 400 | * AdaptationalBadass: This version of Warhawk wields a mace, presumably an Nth. Metal one like his mother. |
| 401 | * AdaptationalJerkass: While he wasn't the nicest guy on the team in WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond, he acts a lot more hostile here than he did there. |
| 402 | * CarryABigStick: A presumably Nth. Metal mace. |
| 403 | * GoodIsNotNice: Warhawk angrily tells a screaming and crying five-year-old who had nearly been squeezed to death a few minutes before to shut the hell up, which only makes said five-year-old cry harder. |
| 404 | * HalfHumanHybrid: Warhawk is the son of a human Green Lantern, Jon Stewart, and Shayera Hol, a Thanagarian warrior. |
| 405 | * HeroicLineage: He's the son of Green Lantern John Stewart and Hawkgirl Shayera Hol. |
