The Justice League of Earth-27.

On New Year's Eve 2003, Brainiac invaded the Earth and seven heroes rose up to stop him. Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Flash and the Martian Manhunter would go on to form the Justice League of America (later rebranded the Justice League). This team would go on to gain over eighty members and has easily become the most recognized superhero team in the world.

    In General 
  • Badass Crew: THE most Badass Crew in the DC Universe. That explanation is enough.
  • Big Good: The founding members of the League are this.
  • Breaking the Fellowship: The death of Jason Todd ended up leading to the dissolution of the original Titans and even the first Justice League.
  • Corporate-Sponsored Superhero: In 2009, the team was re-established under A.R.G.U.S. and U.N. supervision and re-branded as the Justice League.
  • Dream Team: The League brings the greatest superheroes of the Earth together.
  • Home Base: The Hall of Justice and the Watchtower.
  • The Paragon: There are many superhero teams in the DCU... but there's them, and there's The League. They are the greatest, most powerful and most admirable of them all. A hero making it into the Justice League basically graduated into hanging with the big boys.
  • Putting the Band Back Together: After the dissolution of Justice League of America in 2007 there were two members (the Question and Captain Atom) that chose to band together. Their goal was to create a new Justice League based in their shared home of Hub City. They were joined by Agents Sato, Steel, and Smith from the DEO, who had received special permission from Director Bones to work as the team's government liaisons. While they did manage to recruit fresh talent from the Titans (Blue Beetle and Booster Gold) and a young Hub City heroine named Nightshade, they never really got their new Justice League off the ground, with the Question ultimately quitting the team just eight months after it was founded in order to relocate to Gotham City.
  • Super Team: The Trope Codifier in the comics and media.
  • Two Girls to a Team: The Justice League of America's female founders Wonder Woman and Black Canary are this and later the League would expand with more female recruits, before eventually turning into a Gender-Equal Ensemble in later years.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/captain_atom_earth_27.jpg
Click for Civilian Look

Beginning his career in the military as a member of the U.S. Air Force, Colonel Cameron Scott was coerced into an experiment which bonded alien metal to his skin known as Dilustel, giving birth to Captain Atom, a superhero fueled by the Quantum Field.


  • Adaptational Modesty: Captain Atom normally doesn't wear any clothes over his body, but here he does wear pants for practical reasons.

  • Expy Coexistence: Doctor Manhattan was based off him. Here, he was created after him.
  • Flying Brick: He has this power as a result of his nuclear power based abilities.
  • The Good Captain: Played with. Although he kept the moniker "Captain Atom", he was actually promoted to colonel. Also unusual in that he is one of the few superhero captains to actually have received that rank in the military. And he's sometimes a little more morally ambiguous than most "Captain" characters.
  • Life Energy: This is, to all intents and purposes, the source of Nathaniel's power; he's plugged into the quantum field, the life energy of the universe, allowing him to manipulate all forms of energy.
  • Light Is Good: Nate is a good if flawed man and his costumes are either silver or white.
  • Military Superhero: Colonel Cameron Scott of the United States Air Force. Interestingly, he did not start this way: he was a full-time soldier who received his powers as the result of an experiment, and was ordered by the military into infiltrating the superhero community to spy on them a keep them in check. However, as can be expected, Captain Atom eventually did grow to appreciate his role as a superhero, but not without serious conflict between both aspects of him.

  • Radiation-Immune Mutants: Or in his case, Radiation Immune Energy Being.
  • Superpower Lottery: Cap is at least on the same level as Superman and Martian Manhunter. In addition to Flight, Super-Strength, and Nigh-Invulnerability, he can project any kind of energy (including light on the same wavelength as that of a red sun... or radiation identical to that of kryptonite), he's close to immune to energy-based attacks, and he can become intangible at will.
  • Super-Strength: Boosted by the quantum field, as Captain Atom his strength was such that he was able to go toe to toe with beings such as Superman, Captain Marvel, etc. and hold his own.

    Red Tornado (Maxine Hunkel) *ACTIVE*

Click for Civilian Look
Click for Red Tornado 1.0

Originally an android created by the supervillain T.O. Morrow to infiltrate the Justice League. The android has since become a noble superhero However, the original Red Tornado was destroyed after he defected his creator. Later On, Morrow built a android called Mister Twister, the lifeform now housed in Red Tornado was a teenage girl named Maxine Hunkel, a hyper-excitable (but actually depressed) aerokinetic metahuman with a passion for musical theater that had ran away from her home after her powers developed, where she was discovered by Morrow and used as one of his test subjects. Now remembering who she is, Maxine Hunkel is allowed to once again pick her life with the help of S.T.A.R. Labs giving Red’s chassis a secondary human form, perfectly detailed to the look of Maxine’s original body.


  • Absent-Minded Professor: Don't let her naturally bubbly personality and motor mouth tendencies fool you, Maxine's actually incredibly intelligent.
  • Blow You Away: Maxine's nickname isn't "The Witch of The Winds" for nothing. Red Tornado's true form was a powerful entity composed purely of violent wind forces. Their android form channeled these forces through their arms and legs to produce bursts of cyclone-force winds and high speed forward velocity.
  • Broken Bird: She's been insulted and picked on all her life for her Motor Mouth and obscure interests, and copes with it by putting up a happy facade.
  • Color Character: Red Tornado.
  • Composite Character: Red Tornado in Earth-27 is a composite character of Red Tornado (John Smith), Red Tornado of Earth 2 (Lois Lane) and Cyclone (Maxine Hunkel), the grand-daughter of the original Red Tornado (Ma Hunkel). On top of that, her appearance as the female Red Tornado is heavily based upon the Tess Mercer version introduced in the Smallville Season 11 comics.
  • Elemental Powers: Wind-based. Can project his/her whirlwinds at over 350 mph from each arm. their winds are said to level a building in seconds.
  • Extreme Omnivore: Maxine can process food and drink much more efficiently than humans can. She is bionic. Biological and mechanical. STAR Labs gave her the best of both worlds.
  • Genius Ditz: Don't let her naturally bubbly personality and motor mouth tendencies fool you, Max' is actually incredibly intelligent.
  • Genki Girl: One of the only examples in western comics. Hyperactive and frequently seen jumping around or talking on-end.
  • Hearing Voices: An aspect of her aerokinetic abilities is that she can draw far-off sounds to her ears on the winds. Its pretty useful, but sadly, it also lets her hear all the negative things people say about her, both in and out of costume.
  • Motor Mouth: Defines this trope, going on huge rants ad nauseam, saying about a paragraph in the time in takes most characters to say one or two lines.
  • Nanomachines: Technically the source of her powers. Occasionally AI Is A Crap Shoot, leading to odd predicaments, though they've never been outright malevolent.
  • Primary-Color Champion: Red body and yellow/gold accents.
  • Redhead In Green: She is redhead and her civilian outfit is predominately green.
  • Red Is Heroic: He/She's a heroic, red robot.
  • Stepford Smiler: She acts cheerful and lighthearted but she actually has serious depression issues.
  • Took a Level in Cheerfulness: Her teammates are actually surprised The Stoic Red Tornado and Genki Girl Maxine Hunkel were once the same person.
  • Tornado Move: Red Tornado could ride on tornadoes and generate them with her hands. By channeling these cyclone-force winds through the lower part of her body, she can fly at incredible speeds or hover in one place.
  • Unwilling Roboticisation: She's a metahuman who T. O. Morrow turned into Mister Twister through mechanization. She was turned into the android Red Tornado by Adam Strange and later gained a gynoid body, and then a second one resembling her original self after she regained her lost memories.

When Vic Sage, a television investigative journalist, encountered stories he couldn't investigate by normal, legal means, he donned a special mask (kept in his belt buckle) that made it appear that he had no face. As the Question, Sage investigated corruption in the face of all danger, leaving a blank "calling card," which, when touched, emitted a smoky question mark.


  • Ascended Fanboy: Vic Sage after reading Rorschach's journal originally tried to emulate Rorschach's brand of justice (at least, from the early days of Rorschach's career). However Vic did not anticipate how difficult it can be to effortlessly break hands and after failing to do so during an interrogation, Vic himself found himself the one in for a beating. The Question was able to turn the tides and come out victorious and as he dealt a knock-out blow and dusted off his coat, witnesses to the event recall the Question muttering "Rorschach sucks" to himself.
  • Badass Longcoat: With his trenchcoat and fedora, he is pretty awesome.
  • Badass Normal: One of the 'non-supers' in the league. Justified as his talents are detective work, not super powers.
  • The Blank: Practically the Trope Codifier.
  • Cloud Cuckoolander: Comes with his status as the League's resident Conspiracy Theorist.
  • Deader than Dead: Vic Sage's ghost cannot be summoned, Edwin Paine tried but failed. He must have found some way to ward his grave.
  • Genius Bruiser: Vic possessed genius intelligence and has an extremely unpredictable way of thinking. He can make a weapon out of common objects and often uses his mind to win fights.
  • Great Detective: He's just as good as a detective as Batman is if not better.
  • Heroic Willpower: His training and lifestyle demanded much determination, and he was rarely known to give up or surrender especially in physical confrontations.
  • I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Dated Huntress, but broke up with her because he didn't want her to go through the pain of losing a boyfriend again.
  • Post Humous Character: Has unfortunately passed away due to lung cancer.
  • Related in the Adaptation: Victor Zsasz is his half-brother in this continuity.
  • Who Shot JFK?: Vic Sage thought Lyndon B. Johnson was behind JFK assassination.

The King of The Seven Seas. Born Prince Orin of Atlantis, Aquaman is the fruit of the union between Queen Atlanna and the human Tom Curry. He was raised by his lighthouse-keeper father who gave him the name Arthur Curry; after his father's death, Arthur became the hero Aquaman, found out about Atlantis, and claimed his rightful place as king.

  • Manly Facial Hair: His famous barbarian phase beard and surely has the badassery and manliness to match.
  • Mr. Fanservice: He goes topless quite a bit, due to being a swimmer.
  • Nigh-Invulnerable: Can take high caliber bullets and only get a minor cut, suffer abrasion from torpedoes while coming out mostly unharmed, withstand blows from Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter and even an insane Hercules and keep on fighting. He is also pretty immune to cold, having spent six months in Antarctica with just pants and not even being bothered. He has an immeasurable resistance to heat as well, having endured things from heat blasts, explosions, and even swimming into open lava vents. Though dry, arid environments like deserts cause him more struggle.
  • Prongs of Poseidon: His trident is made of a special gold by the first king of Atlantis, one of Arthur's indirect ancestors.

  • Telepathy: He is capable of psychically moving sea life to do as he wants. But if their survival instinct is high enough, they can resist his orders. Why he has this ability has not been explained. It has been shown it does indeed work on alligators as well as mutant, monstrous sea life from an otherworldly prison and outer dimensions.
  • Underestimating Badassery: It happens to him a lot.
  • Unscrupulous Hero: Has crossed into this realm here and there. He's still easily the most brutal member of the League even on his best days.
  • Walking Shirtless Scene: That Atlantean scale armour tends to come off a lot.

  • Cool Crown: Her headdress.
  • Fiery Redhead: One of her defining traits, which usually gets her into trouble. While Arthur can be pretty hot-blooded himself, Mera is far less restrained with voicing her thoughts, and her much more preferred way of handling things is to beat them into submission.
  • Foil: To Wonder Woman in many ways. Both are royalty from mythical humanoid races and skilled fighters. While Wonder Woman has been an All-Loving Hero her whole life and been motivated by her love of mankind to leave her home of Themyscira, Mera was originally filled with enmity towards Atlantis for its perceived subjugation of Xebel, and left in order to kill their would be king, Arthur, only to fall in love with him after observing what a selfless person he was, and started to become a hero herself.
  • Hair-Trigger Temper: Maybe not the quickest to anger, but beware her when her fuse goes out.
  • Happily Married: With Arthur.
  • I Am Not Weasel: Often called a mermaid, which, she does not appreciate.
  • In a Single Bound: Like Aquaman, she's adapted to and is strengthened by the ocean deep so she can jump incredibly high.

  • Making a Splash: She has the power to control water, which includes the ability to steal water from a person's body. Later revealed to be a trait of Xebel's royal family. If you marry into it, you will also get the power.
  • Mama Bear: Like her husband, messing with her kids or with Atlantis means that you'll have to deal with her very shortly, and odds are that you're not going to survive a confrontation like that.
  • Meaningful Name: Mera ta'Xebel ro'Curry translates to "Mera of House Xebel and married into Curry" (she uses the alternative "ro'Atlan" for official records as Orin wished to keep his identity as Arthur Curry secret).

Ray Palmer is a scientist, professor and superhero who devised a means of miniaturization through dwarf star matter technology. From the Microscope to the greater world, he fights for good as the mighty Atom.


  • Badass Bookworm: Dr. Palmer has a Ph.D. in physics and is a full professor at Ivy University. He is considered to be a world-class genius and a leading expert in a number of scientific fields. A modern-day renaissance man, Ray is capable of just about anything.
  • Composite Character: His appearance and personality is based off his Arrowverse incarnation, but his costumed appearance is more in tune with the comics.
  • Ditzy Genius: Despite being a Gadgeteer Genius, Ray is really naive when it come to things like stealth, infiltration, and espionage.
  • Gadgeteer Genius: He did invent the Bio-Belt after all.

  • Official Couple: Engaged to Felicity Smoak.
  • Power Armor: Aside from the defenses and life support systems of his Atom Suit, Ray has found a way to use his shrinking tech to fit a considerable arsenal into his armored Atom suit. His favorite weapons are a precision-edged sword and a gauntlet blaster.
  • Primary-Color Champion: The Atom suit is blue and red.
  • Science Hero: One of Ray's most defining traits is him utilizing science to solve problems. He used his scientific knowledge to craft the suit that makes him a hero to begin with. Even outside the suit, he constantly applies his knowledge to get the job done.
  • Sizeshifter: Ray Palmer has the ability to shrink his body to varying degrees (including the subatomic level), achieved by storing most of his mass in a pocket dimension. Ray can assume any size from his normal six-foot stature down to sub-microscopic, although he generally deems a height of six inches as most functional. He can also assume any weight at any height — up to his full 207 pounds. For some reason, Ray's metahuman physiology allows him to not explode when he is miniaturized, unlike other living things which explode after a short time of being miniaturized. By shifting most of his mass into his fists, Ray has found he can punch with incredible force.

Nabu, an ancient being tasked with protecting the world from the powers of chaos, Dr. Fate must take on a mortal body as his host- and he doesn't much care what said host has to say about it.

  • Badass Cape: Comes with the powers.

  • Large Ham: He's not too emotive, but nearly everything Nabu says has a tremendous amount of gravitas.

  • Magic and Powers: A good deal of what's on that list.
  • Mystical High Collar: Part of his costume.
  • Primary-Color Champion: Blue and gold are the colors of Doctor Fate.
  • Stage Magician: Giovanni was this before he became Doctor Fate.

  • Willing Channeler: Someone has to choose to put him on, though they might come to regret it.
  • You Can't Fight Fate: A firm believer in it. Those who "defy fate" and attempt to imbalance order are his enemies. That may even include other superheroes, depending on what he decides their fate to be.

  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Ted Kord.
  • Mistaken for Gay: As not with Ted Kord.

Jaime's codename switch pretty much cements Ted's status as spared.

  • Action Mom: She and Ted have a son named Amistad Ervin.
  • Affectionate Nickname: Raq and Rocket Gal.
  • Badass Bookworm: Raquel Ervin is a gifted writer as well as a voracious reader.
  • Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: Averted. Rocket she exposes her midsection but she's neither too feminine nor really tomboyish.
  • Barrier Warrior: She can create force fields, they're pretty powerful. This field's kinetic energy nullifies the energy of anything trapped within down to the molecular level. As a result, Rocket can use the inertialess field to effectively immobilize her opponents.
  • Birds of a Feather: She gets along well with Green Arrow due to their similar liberal mindsets.
  • Clothes Make the Superman: Rocket has no innate powers but derive from the inertia winder installed in her belt buckle. When activated, the inertia winder surrounds Rocket in an "inertia field," which absorbs and stores any kinetic energy used against it.
  • Deadpan Snarker: She's snarky even in the heat of battle.
  • Energy Absorption: Her barriers only get stronger when kinetic energy is applied. As with her kinetic punches, the amount of damage she can cause depends on the amount of kinetic energy she uses.
  • Flight: Rocket can fly by releasing her inertia field's kinetic energy beneath her, launching her skyward. Initially, she was not very skilled with this ability and thus could only leap over great distances.
  • Kinetic Weapons Are Just Better: Uses her force fields as projectiles sometimes. Rocket can hit with superhuman force by releasing kinetic energy as she throws a punch.
  • Promoted to Love Interest: She and Ted Kord are dating, while in the comics they never interacted.
  • Sassy Black Woman: A milder example than most people who fall under the trope, but she still fits the bill. Raquel is well known for her liberal views on economic and social issues, which results in frequent political arguments with her conservative partner. She gets along famously with Green Arrow, though.
  • Sidekick: To Icon. She was the one who convinced him to become a hero and his partner in crime.
  • Weaksauce Weakness: Maintaining a force bubble around someone else, whether to protect them or trap them, leaves her more or less a sitting duck.

  • The Blacksmith: He invokes blacksmithing in addition to his folkloric image (see his first and middle names). He is notable for hand-forging the plating of most of his Powered Armor.
  • Brought to You by the Letter "S": In homage to Superman and John Henry, he put the S on his suit.
  • The Cape: Out of all four Superman pretenders, he is the only who can be considered unambiguously good. Put this together with the fact that he's simply an ordinary man working a blue-collar job, and you'll see why some consider his heroics to be even more impressive those of the big man himself.

  • Gentle Giant: Despite everything he still considers himself a scientist and not a fighter.
  • Honorary True Companion: He's an honorary member of the House of El.
  • Nigh-Invulnerability: The suit's ability to impart a resistance to physical injury was quite considerable before the addition of the inertial dampening field.

  • Official Couple: He's officially engaged to Lana Lang.
  • Steven Ulysses Perhero: The "Irons" aside, it's also a shout-out to American folklore hero John Henry.

  • Legacy Character: Third Person to don the Wonder Woman mantle after Nubia.

  • Awesome by Analysis: Adam Strange has a keen analytical mind and is a master tactician and strategist.

It is no surprise to anyone that has met him that Adam is a world-class engineer, chemist, physicist, computer programmer, roboticist, and mathematician. Though he spends most of his professional focus on perfecting Zeta-Beam technology, Adam continues to expand his scientific knowledge.
  • Composite Character: Adam is combined with lesser known hero Geoffrey Barron, who went by the alias Technocrat.
  • Cool Helmet: His spacefaring helmet.

Among the many skills Adam has mastered in his idle time include chess, Bonsai tree cultivation, Canadian and American history, Ancient Greek philosophy, Roman military campaigns, multiple card-based games of chance, the heraldry of feudal Europe, molecular gastronomy, and Rannian literature.
  • Interspecies Romance: He's human and he's happily married to Alanna Strange.
  • Jet Pack: His signature Jet Packs. His experience with the jet pack has made him proficient in aerial combat as well.
  • Missing Mom: His mother Andrea Strange died of cancer shortly before he turned one year old
  • Multi-Melee Master: He's aptly skilled with just about any form of melee offensive battery's he can get his hands on.
  • No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup: Aside from being the mind that cracked the code on Zeta-Beam technology, Adam remains one of the foremost experts on its use and principles. Only the Ranian scientist Sardath, Adam's father-in-law, exceeds Adam's own mastery of this specific teleportation technology. Part of the reason for Adam remaining one of the only real experts in the use of the technology is due to Zeta-Beams being unavailable to private industry, remaining proprietary technology of STAR Labs. The use of the technology is licensed solely to the Justice League.
  • Omniglot: Adam Strange has a knack for linguistics. He speaks thirteen languages with expert fluency and knows a few dozen at a basic conversationalist level. Among the languages he has displayed some level of proficiency with include English, Spanish, French, Latin, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, Ancient and Modern Atlantean, Amazonian, Kryptonian, Rannian, and Martian.

Justice, and several other undisclosed bases used by members of the Justice League. This insight also has given him knowledge into the identities of Batman, many members of the "Bat-Clan" (including Oracle), Superman, Blue Beetle, and many other members of the Justice League that are known to maintain secret personal identities outside of their heroic personas. Supposedly, this knowledge has been "secured" by psionic means by J'onn J'onzz, giving Adam a mind that is nearly impervious to psionic manipulations.
  • Socially Awkward Hero: Adam has never made friends easily. He would rather be in his lab by himself, creating a new prototype based on alien technology than sitting at a bar with friends or teammates. Due to his wife's influence, Adam does make an effort to make friends nowadays, but he's still decidedly awkward in social situations.

  • Human Aliens: Much like Kryptonians, Daxamites and Kherans, her race is superficially indistinguishable from normal humans.
  • I Just Want to Be Loved: Arcella seeks out romantic and sexual partners with regularity. Though she claims the ultimate goal is to find a mate to produce offspring with to secure her claim to the Throne of Almerac, she also seeks comfort from such intimacy. Until recently, Arcella struggled with overcoming the Almeracian custom of 'claiming love' which is almost as rapey as it sounds. Even still, she tends to be quite persistent.
  • Mark of the Supernatural: One of her eyes is green and the other is brown, and she's an alien queen and superhero.
  • Named by the Adaptation: In the comics Maxima was her actual name, but here Maxima is her royal title, while her name is Arcella Teraeux.
  • Named Weapons: Her sword is named Starbreaker. As per Almerac custom, the weapon's name was taken from the life of an enemy Arcella slew. She will rename the blade if she ever takes the life of a more worthy enemy. The blade is made from an alloy that has shown the ability to cut Kryptonians and Apokalyptans alike.

  • Really Gets Around: Bisexual and besides having tried to get Superman, Power Girl, Scion/Superboy and Captain Atom, she also has several on-and-off again lovers.
  • Really 700 Years Old: Thanks to both her Almeracian biology and cryostasis, Maxima looks 30 at most despite being over 600 years old.
  • Redhead In Green: She's a pretty redhead whose costume is green.
  • Royal Inbreeding: Maxima is the result of countless generations of Almeracian royals who kept their bloodlines pure by intermarrying with close relatives and offshoots of the royal family. Her parents are first cousins.
  • Royals Who Actually Do Something: She's the Princess of Almerac.
  • Secret Identity: While in the comics she didn't bother with a human identity, as part of the Justice League she uses the alias Alice Thoreau.
  • Statuesque Stunner: Stands at 6'3"/191cm and drop dead gorgeous.
  • Superpower Lottery: On top of being near Kryptonians and Kherans in all physical stats, she is able to teleport herself or others, create force fields, control over metals, manipulate inorganic matter (usually to change her clothes on a whim), Eye Beams, multiple forms of mental power, illusion projection, and Telekinesis. Though this may be explained because she is a product of selective gene manipulation to produce powerful offspring.
  • Tsundere: To Supes and the other men and women she sets her eyes on.

  • Elemental Baggage: Will's costume is decidedly low-tech, however, does sport a pair of metallic bracers which are equipped with samples of various materials he does often finds useful to emulate. These include concrete, brick, steel, gold, iron, and wood. He does keeps several such tokens that he can swap out in his locker at the Hall of Justice and the Watchtower — often taking them with him on missions and carrying them in hidden pockets built into his robe.
  • Healing Factor: Will's muscle fibers and skeletal system are accustomed to quickly transforming which involves rapid chemical breakdowns and restructuring, which seems to have left his body with an augmented healing rate that allows him to recover from superficial injuries in a handful of minutes.
  • In-Series Nickname: Mr. Amazing, The Amazing, "The Amazing Mr. Amazing Man".
  • Manly Facial Hair: He's got an impressive beard and is very much manly.
  • No-Sell: When he has transformed into non-biological matter, his body often reacts this differently to various stimuli, granting him protection against such hazards. Notably, this appears to make Will immune to telepathy and most forms of mind control — except when the psionic is accustomed to dealing with sentient lifeforms made of rock, metal, wood, ice, etcetera.
  • Power Copying: Amazing Man could cause his body to duplicate the properties of any inorganic material he touched from stone to glass. He could also absorb and duplicate vast amounts of energy, as when he defeated the Overmaster by draining and duplicating its powers.
  • Power Limiter: Amazing Man could not adapt the properties of a Green Lantern Ring. He once attempted such a feat, but the ring energy temporarily canceled out his powers, returning him to a normal state of being.
  • Traumatic Super Power Awakening: His meta-gene first activated when his family's house fell on top of him and his parents, using his powers to protect himself from the debris.
  • Walking Shirtless Scene: Other than a cape, he doesn't wear a shirt as Amazing Man.

Click for Civilian Look
Dorcas "Dora" Leigh/Godiva is the premiere heroine from Ireland and England. She is a stunningly beautiful woman who has meta-human hair capable of changing its shape to become wings so she can fly or become transparent to conceal herself. She's both a member of the Justice League and a freedom fighter of the Victory V Resistance.
  • Best Friend: She's best friends with her teammates Constance and Vivian D'Aramis.
  • Celebrity Superhero: She doesn't have a secret identity and she has used both her status as a member of the Justice League and political activist to bring awareness of the tyranny and human rights violations made by the Norsefire government.
  • Domino Mask: She wears one as part of her ensemble as Godiva. She actually doesn't need it since Norsefire outed her early in her career, but now she has taken to use it again after Batman had integrated several state-of-the-art investigative technologies into the mask's lenses.
  • Empowered Badass Normal: Since becoming a crimefighter, Dora has trained with the likes of Black Canary, Wonder Woman, Mink and Marten, and Maxima. She has her own distinct style of fighting, mostly utilizing her hair to grapple, restrain, or inconvenience her enemies; however, outside of her missions, she prefers to hone her more conventional martial arts techniques so she does not need to always rely on her powers.
  • In-Series Nickname: Dora, Rapunzel and Goldilocks.
  • It's Personal: She already strongly disliked the Norsefire government for its abuse of power, but after they imprisoned and executed her family over nothing but association, she traveled back to England to bring it down.
  • Prehensile Hair: Her hair goes beyond just being prehensile; she can reshape it into forms she can use, eg. wings, a fan, etc. Dora can control the movement of her hair as if each fiber were thin appendages growing from her head. A psionic field permeates her altered hair-cells, causing mutual attraction across gaps between strands. These relatively small forces operate in conjunction to develop larger forces. Through concentration, Dora can psionically move her hair in any manner imaginable.
    • Excuse Me While I Multitask: Dora can also perform delicate manipulations with her hair such as lock picking or threading a needle, and such complex acts of coordination as typing on a keyboard or shuffling a deck of cards. Although she has no nerve endings in her hair, she cans till "feel" sensations on all parts of her hair by a form of mental feedback from her psionic field.
    • Morph Weapon: Dora can snap the length of it through the air like a bullwhip (the tip of which moves faster than the speed of sound, causing that distinct 'sonic boom' snap), or rotate it in a fan-like manner. She has also shown the ability to wrap her hands in her hair to deal punches that are bolstered with her psionic strength while also protecting her hands from injury.
    • Rapid Hair Growth: Dora's hair is much stronger than normal human hair. The tensile strength of a single hair can sustain a weight of approximately 300 lbs, making it stronger than heavy duty fishing line. Her hair is also considerably elastic, being able to "grow" on average to lengths of up to thirty feet at her usual length. When she has activated her hair, it stretches to three times it usual length.
  • Required Secondary Powers: It is worth noting mentioning that neither Dora's scalp, skull, nor neck support the weight of any object thats he lifts. Rather, it is held aloft by the psionic field.

  • Emerald Power: Her suit and cape are green and she has powers that can even match a Kryptonian.

  • Flight: Clara can launch herself into the air, moving herself through the ambient Odic energy around her. She can reach speeds of ~250 MPH (~400 km/h).
  • Hand Blast: Clara can expel bolts of concentrated Odic energy from her person. At the lowest level, these bolts can stun the average person, leaving them confused and winded. At their most potent, Clara's blasts can shatter steel or send a Kryptonian reeling from the impact.
  • Intrepid Reporter: Clara has a knack for creative writing, research, and problem-solving. These traits have made her a successful journalist. She is an investigative reporter from Star City's Channel 6 News Team, as well as a correspondent for their parent company, GBS.
  • Nigh-Invulnerability: Tomorrow Woman's body is composed of an known metallic substance. This material makes her durable to most attacks. However, as a gynoid, she has certain limits to what she can achieve without damaging her exterior appearance. She can lift approximately 2 tons of weight before damaging her biomechanical chassis' joints. Clara can run at speeds of ~300 MPH (~480 km/h) before her synthetic skin begins to tear. Likewise, her body can deflect gunfire from smaller caliber weapons but armor piercing or high-power rounds have the potential to damage her chassis.
  • Related in the Adaptation: Clara is the daughter of Cliff Steele from the Doom Patrol, half-sister of Ryan Kendall, the second Black Condor, and she's considered the "sister" of Jim Lockhart/Red Torpedo, Danette Reilly/Red Inferno, Maxine Hunkel, Red Volcano and Amazo.
  • Statuesque Stunner: She stands at 5'11"/180cm tall and she's quite beautiful.
  • Super-Senses: Clara has upgraded senses compared to those of most humans. Having unlocked hidden software, Clara also has access to different visual filters, ultrasonic sensors, and a state-of-the-art processing computer that works to analyze sensory data in real time. Her audio software also allows perfect pitch and the ability to mimic the voices of others (provided she has a voice sample).
  • Technopathy: Clara has the ability to directly interface with computers and other advanced technology. This gives her the ability to remotely hack into networks and conduct a wide-variety of technical operations. Though she has displayed the power to enslave less-sophisticated robots to her will, she finds doing so to be repulsive.
  • Telekinesis: Her telekinetic power level is high enough to psionically lift objects as large and heavy as automobiles into the air with minimal effort.
  • Telepathy: Her telepathy allows her to read minds and project her thoughts into the minds of others. She can free people from psionic possession and purify corrupted minds when a virus caused children around the world to become homicidal.
  • Tron Lines: Her body has several small glowing lines while she's in Tomorrow Woman mode.

The premier superhero of India, Chandi Gupta/Maya is a metahuman who can control the elements. She's also the cousin of fellow superhero Kiran Singh/Solstice and of Kala Dandekar.


  • Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: Her costume as Maya shows her stomach and it fits her Indian nationality and her femininity.
  • Blow You Away: Chandi can fly, manipulate the air around her to simulate strong gusts of wind, deprive a room of oxygen, soften her landing from a great height with a cushion of air, and many other things by tapping into "the White".

  • Dishing Out Dirt: Chandi can reshape rock, cause mud or stone to levitate or launch at her enemies, create small scale earthquakes in her vicinity, or other such effects through the channeling of "the Melt".
  • Elemental Powers: Chandi's ancestors claimed to have control over the elements and though it was seen as "magic", we understand now that, in actuality, it was most likely intrinsic manipulation.
  • Green Thumb/Festering Fungus: Through her connection to "the Green" and "the Gray", Chandi can cause plants and fungi to grow rapidly, ensnare her enemies with vines, reinforce the health or strength of pre-existing flora. She can also speak to plants and fungi.
  • It Runs in the Family: Just like her aunt Arani, Chandi is a psionic metahuman who can control the elements, but she can control more than just fire and ice.
  • Making a Splash: Chandi can cause water to freeze, propel herself at great speed underwater, walk on the surface of water as though it were solid, remove impurities from water with her mind, or all manner of other tricks though tapping into the intrinsic field identified as "the Clear" (or sometimes "the Blue").
  • Nephewism: After the death of her parents she was raised by her aunt and uncle the Dandekar's.
  • Parental Abandonment: Her father Rasi Gupta died at the epicenter of the Manhattaning that destroyed Delhi, while her mother Divya Patel died giving birth to her.
  • Playing with Fire: Through the grace of "the Burn", Chandi can conjure fire to erupt from her hands, increase the intensity of an existing fire, snuff out flames with a thought, and walk through an inferno without breaking a sweat
  • Power Incontinence: When experiencing a potent migraine, Chandi's powers often go haywire. This may cause open flames near her area to erupt dramatically, water pipes to burst, papers or small objects being scattered by an errant breeze, flowers to bloom spontaneously, tame animals becoming berserk, and so forth.
  • Purple Is Powerful: Her costume is purple and orange, and she's a very skilled hero.
  • Related in the Adaptation: She's the cousin of Kala Dandekar and Kiran Singh/Solstice of the Titans. Her aunt is Arani Desai/Celsius from the Doom Patrol.
  • Secret-Keeper: Becomes the first person aware her cousin Kala has powers, and she in turn is the one who finds out her secret identity as Maya.
  • Supernatural Gold Eyes: Her eyes glow gold when using her powers.
  • Super-Empowering: Chandi may possess some ability to tap into "the Red", however unlike her cousin, Chandi's connection does not seem to allow her to heal. Instead, Chandi can augment her own physiology to become stronger, faster, or more resilient than normal for periods of time. Using this ability, she has managed to increase her strength to Class II Enhanced Strength, run at approximately 100 MPH (160 km/h), or take small-arms fire with no lasting injuries sustained (just some bruises).
  • Super-Speed: On one occasion she's granted herself enhanced speed, allowing her to run faster than a normal human.
  • Supreme Chef: Chandi is a graduate of the MCCAA and is accordingly a master of the culinary arts. She is likely one of the best chefs in India and could become a highly sought personal chef or an executive chef, she prefers to remain as her uncle's assistant chef and remain fairly low-key to afford her chance to pursue her vigilante activities.

  • Foil: Out of all the orphans, she provides the sharpest contrast to Billy. For one, Billy had a problem with authority and the other was his self-reliance from having survived plenty of abusive situations. Still, Mary did her best to be gentle with Billy as she did sympathize him as both had lost their mothers to substance abuse.

  • Cool Shades: Wears them to hide his eyes that are different from humans.
  • Escape Artist: This is his main ability, that he has perfected throughout the centuries. He can escape most bindings in his sleep. In fact he has passed beyond unconscious competence in the realm of meta-cognition.

  • Super-Strength: Mister Miracle is strong enough to effortlessly shatter steel with his bare hands.
  • Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: Not that he's short (he's 6ft tall), but his wife is much taller than he is.
  • Women Are Wiser: Gender Inverted — Barda is quick-tempered and impulsive, while Scott is more logical and down-to-earth. It’s one of the reasons why she loves him.

Brainiac had admired Dru-Zod and chose to preserve Dru-Zod's progeny for study. Lor-Zod then spent weeks aboard the same military vessel manned by a silent robotic crew as Brainiac's guest of honor; but after several months of this isolation, Lor-Zod went to sleep one night and was placed in cryogenic stasis for later study. He was found by Thaddeus Sivana and was made a member of the Salvation Syndicate as Ultraman. He would later defect the Syndicate by joining the Justice League as Zenith and was adopted by Clark and Lois.


  • Abusive Parents: His biological parents, not Lois and Clark.
  • Adaptation Name Change: Rather than becoming Nightwing to avoid confusion with Dick Grayson or Stephanie Brown, Chris in E27 is Ultraman, a name taken from Superman's Mirror Universe Evil Counterpart from the Crime Syndicate during his time with the Salvation Syndicate. He later takes the name of Zenith after joining the Justice League.
  • Calling the Old Man Out: His actions against Zod and Ursa can qualify this.

  • Mythology Gag: The Nightwing hoodie is a nod to his identity as Nightwing in the comic books.
  • Nigh-Invulnerability: Due to the interaction of his dense molecular structure and supercharged bio-electric aura, Zenith is nigh-invulnerable to extreme energy forces. In addition, his extends this protection against toxins and diseases.

Before she would be consumed by the Intrisic explosion struck inside the HMS Tintagel warship.

Twenty seven years and fifty-two days after the intrinsic explosion, the wreckage of the Tintagel suddenly appeared in Bjorland... with a single survivor on board. Though alive, Penny Black had been changed. ARGUS were the first responders to the anomaly, dispatching medical shuttles to the site where Penny was found half-frozen and comatose.

Once Penny learned the truth about the state of her nation under the control of Adam Sutler's Norsefire Party, she was all too eager to enlist with ARGUS.

  • Laser Blade: The "Generous Flame" Intrinsic Blade is a fierce blade channeled with intrinsic energy located in her right forearm.

  • Eye Color Change: Her once brown eyes turned gray when her powers first awakened.
  • Handicapped Badass: Since she was eight years old, Laura suffers from an extreme form of color blindness. For her, the world exists in black and white, much like an old-time television. This may be the explanation for her altered appearance, as an example of some sort of mystical mind over matter. It is worth noting that this condition only effects her physical sight.
  • Hidden Depths: Laura is a fan of older (black-and-white) movies and television shows, possibly due to her severe color blindness.
  • Hot Witch: Very attractive and a sorceress.
  • Mage Species: Just like the Zataras, Laura is a Homo Magi, a species of humans that descend from the original inhabitants of Atlantis before its sinking that intermingled with normal people.
  • Mystical White Hair: Her once brown hair turned platinum blonde when her magical powers first manifested.
  • Mythology Gag: The Angorian Magical Academy is a nod to the character being from another planet called Angor.
  • Psychic Dreams for Everyone: Called Silvering, Laura can place an enchantment on herself or others which induces a potent period of intense self-reflection. This is best used as a therapeutic practice on sleeping subjects, but it is possible to cast such a spell on a waking target. Targets of this spell will experience visions, dreams, nightmares, or hallucinations that can depict things that a person has fears, regrets, desires, or hopes concerning. Laura has no control over what visions the person may experience when under this spell, how long the spell lasts, or what may happen to the subject after surviving the experience.
  • Related in the Adaptation: Her late grandfather is Kent Nelson, the first Dr. Fate, while her grandmother is Inza Cramer-Nelson. Her parents are Kent Nelson Jr. and Marissa Nelson. Her uncles are Seth and Bruce Nelson, while her aunt is Celeste Nelson. Through her aunt Celeste and uncle Terrance Kelly, she's the cousin of Lia Nelson-Kelly, who was The Flash in Tangent comics.
  • The Rock Star: Laura plays a number of acoustic instruments including guitar and piano. She is also a skilled singer. She can often be found strumming chords and singing ballads in her cabin on the Watchtower as a means of calming herself before or after a mission or to provide a diversion from her mystical studies.
  • Shout-Out: Her liking black and white movies references WandaVision.
  • Smoking Is Not Cool: Laura's mother used to smoke. As a result, Laura cannot stand the smell of tobacco. On more than once instance, she has forcibly put John Constantine's cigarette out or used a spell to cleanse him and his clothes of the residual odor.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/triumph_earth_27.jpg
  • Abusive Dad: His father James McIntyre was a violent individual who abused both Will and his mother Sarah, even putting his ex-wife in a coma. Even worse, when he found out by chance his son had superpowers, he tried to blackmail him in order to rob a bank, only for Will to fight back. Then James killed Will's teacher, confidant and Parental Substitute Mr. Harmon. Will could have easily killed his father but chose to let him live and be arrested.
  • The Dog Bites Back: Tired of his father's abuse and his attempt at blackmailing him, he fought back. After James McIntyre killed Will's teacher Mr. Harmon, he broke into the police station and would have killed his father had he not chosen to let him live.
  • Domino Mask: He wore a black and green one to cover his eyes.
  • Fanboy: Thanks to his teacher Mr. Harmon, Will was a big fan of the Watchmen movement, and he became Triumph as a way to honor him while fulfilling his duty to the US government.

  • Heroic Sacrifice: He was killed by Brainiac after rescuing Victor Stone from certain death after being torn to pieces.
  • Magnetism Manipulation: Triumph has the ability to perceive and consciously control electromagnetism, one of the four fundamental forces of the universe. His daughter Mina would inherit his powers.
  • Mentor Occupational Hazard: His teacher, confidant and Parental Substitute Mr. Harmon would be killed by Will's father in retaliation for Will fighting back and Harmon reporting the abuse Will and his mother had suffered.
  • Military Superhero: After almost killing his father, Will turned himself to the government so they could experiment and test his powers. He finally managed to cut a deal with the government to do 10 more missions in order to return to civilian life and be a true father for his family, but he did create the Triumph identity to help people and live out his dream.
  • Posthumous Character: Killed by Brainiac just before the Justice League truly began as a team.
  • Purple Is Powerful: When using his powers, his hands glow purple and controlling electromagnetism is a pretty powerful ability.
