    In General 
  • The Alliance: Rather than a single unified front, they're several different groups and independent agents with their own agendas that stay out of each other's way and aid the others on occasion.
  • Big Bad Duumvirate: The Light as a whole are a Legion of Doom consisting of seven individual villains at a time, always with an eighth villain as an enforcer to do their dirty work. Vandal Savage is the founder of the alliance and first among equals.
  • Composite Character: The organization is mostly based on their characterization from Young Justice, including their leaders.
  • Complexity Addiction: Exploited. The Light often stages complicated attacks they expect to fail as distractions for far simpler operations.
  • Evil Plan: They want to turn Earth into a galactic power, and believe the way to do so is through "survival of the fittest" and playing various other factions against each other.
  • Greater-Scope Villain: Considering their involvement, it's no surprise they're this for several heroes.
  • The Illuminati: The Light seems to have a lot of Illuminati-characteristics, down to their group's name being similar to "the enlightened ones".
  • Legion of Doom: A unique reconstruction of it.
  • Light Is Not Good: They're called the Light and they're evil. Simple as that.
  • Nebulous Evil Organization: So nebulous they don't even have a symbol.
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: While they're nominally allies, some groups within The Light dislike or downright hate each other, like H.I.V.E. and the League of Assassins.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: Want to fast-track humanity's advancement and put Earth on top throughout the universe. Unfortunately, they're also willing to do almost anything to get there.
  • Xanatos Gambit: The Light are experts at these, setting up hedges in nearly every encounter that ensures that no matter whether the heroes win or lose, The Light's plans continue moving forward.

First Circle Operatives

    The Cult of Kobra

  • An Ice Person: Just like his son.
  • Composite Character: He's a combination of his original comic book self and Thomas Snow, Caitlin Snow's father from the Arrowverse.
  • Related in the Adaptation: He's the stepfather of Caitlin Snow and her sisters, having married their mother Sigrid Nansen after she abandoned her husband.

Frostbite is the son of the first Icicle, Joar. Cameron somehow inherited his freezing powers from his father's prolonged exposure to his cold-ray gun which altered Cameron's DNA. Half-brother of Caitlin Snow and her sisters.
  • Adaptation Name Change: He's not called Icicle Jr. but goes by the name of Frostbite.
  • Amazing Technicolor Population: His skin is light blue (with or without activating his powers) because he was born with cryokinetic powers.
  • An Ice Person: Frostbite has the ability to create large ice crystals from his own body, and freeze the air around him to create various obstacles. He has demonstrated the ability to sling crystals great distances, which freeze whatever they strike on contact. He can also shoot light blue beams of ice.
  • Related in the Adaptation: Because of his father's marriage to Sigrid Nansen, he's the half-brother of Caitlin Snow and her sisters Bethany and Roxanne.

    Atomic Skull (Albert Michaels) 

    King Vertigo (Werner Zytle) 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/werner_zytle_earth_27.jpg

Werner Zytle is the ruler of the country Vlatava, and one of the archenemies of Green Arrow.


  • Adaptational Badass: Besides his signature power of inducing vertigo unto others, he can also overwhelm the senses of people and even disrupt the balance of electronics.
  • Adaptation Origin Connection: The one who made his first hearing aid that allowed him to hear and remain balanced was Adrian Veidt.
  • Amplifier Artifact: Werner wears an apparatus on the back of his head with nodes that fit into each ear. This device creates an electromagnetic field that offsets the defect in Werner's inner ear. Werner can use this device to amplify his hearing to superhuman levels. As an added bonus, the electrical field also makes telepathic manipulation rather difficult.
  • Aristocrats Are Evil: He's a former Count, now King and a terrorist and a usurper.
  • Badass Cape: Wears a fancy green cape over his coat and suit.
  • Boring, but Practical: His only power is to disorient people, but it's more than effective against his opponents.
  • Classy Cane: Which also doubles as a Cane Sword and Staff of Authority.
  • Combat Pragmatist: He uses his powers to gain an upper hand in battle.
  • Composite Character: Being married to Lady Quark means he's composed with Lord Volt, Lady Quark's husband in the comics.
  • Diplomatic Impunity: Being the ruler of Vlatava means he can get away with much of his illegal dealings without his enemies being able to do much about it without evidence.
  • Evil Cripple: Werner was born with an inner ear defect that made hearing and maintaining his balance almost impossible. When he was eight, he was given a special apparatus designed by Adrian Veidt which offset his disability. If this device is removed, Werner's inner ear disorder will quickly incapacitate him.
  • Evil Uncle: To Perdita Zytle alias Gabrielle Doe alias Halo. Which he tried to kill his niece and the queen of his country in order to gain the throne for himself.
  • Green and Mean: Has green eyes and dresses mostly in green and he's a pretty nasty costumer.
  • Man of Wealth and Taste: Dresses in a fancy suit with a coat and a cape with a golden chain, plus a cane, all to show his status as the new king of Vlatava.
  • Master Swordsman: Werner is a master swordsman, particularly with his cane's hidden blade. He is slightly better than his nemesis Green Arrow, though both have their share of victories in their past duels.
  • Mind Manipulation: This is Werner's infamous "Vertigo Effect", which uses psionic energy to disrupt his enemies' balance. He achieves this through a combination of empathic signals, illusions that create a visual distortion effect and auditory feedback, and even psionic manipulation to the local gravitational field surrounding Werner. Werner can use each of these effects independently or simultaneously. Similarly, he can target a specific individual or create a wide area of effect that does not distinguish between friend or foe. His ability is also capable of disrupting guidance systems on missiles, vehicles and detection systems of all kind. Werner is immune to his psionic effects.
  • Mind over Matter: Though controlled Odic manipulation, Werner can destabilize the gravity around him, causing himself or nearby objects or persons to float in defiance of gravity. Use of this ability requires concentration.
  • Pride: Werner is an extremely arrogant person. He enjoys lording his greatness over others — especially his long-time archnemesis Green Arrow.
  • Related in the Adaptation: He's married to Tashana Bogdanow, better known as Lady Quark, making him brother in-law of Anton and Szemere Bogdanow/Scimitar, which makes him uncle by marriage of Wolfgang Bogdanow. Through his Kasnian mother he's related to Lyuben Plunder of ECO.
  • Royal Inbreeding: It's believed that the reason behind his hearing in-balance is due to his family's shallow gene pool, which only married with nobility of the other three neighboring kingdoms; Kasnia, Zandia and Markovia.
  • Sensory Overload: Werner can destabilize a person's emotions, causing an emotionally stable person to experience 'emotional vertigo' which is likely to quickly turn the affected persons(s) to violent anger, irrational fear, immense confusion, or uninhibited lust. Werner cannot control the specific reaction of any person, but he is a good judge of character and can often manipulate events to put a person in a situation where his power can tip the scales and elicit the desired response.
  • Team Member in the Adaptation: He's not a member of the League of Assassins in the comics, but he is here due to his enmity with Green Arrow.
  • The Usurper: Has his brother and his wife killed so he can usurp his niece.
  • White Hair, Black Heart: White-blond hair on a man willing to murder his own niece to usurp his home country's throne.

    Cadmus Labs 
  • Adaptation Origin Connection: They were originally Gila Flats, before being bought by LuthorCorp as the future site of Cadmus Labs.
  • For Science!: Basically their entire motivation.
  • Greater-Scope Villain: They're the ones who experimented on Grodd, gave steroids to John Diggle and created Conner Kent, Galatea and Bizarro.
    • They're also the ones who experimented on and indirectly created the Royal Flush Gang, as well as giving Carrie Cutter, Slade Wilson and Alex Fairchild the COBALT formula.
    • Cadmus Labs also kidnapped and experimented on the children of former members of Team 7, who would go on to become the hero team Gen13.
  • Mad Scientist: An entire lab dedicated to the mad sciences.
  • Satellite Character: So far no member has appeared in person, and they serve mainly as motivation for different characters.

Fifth Circle Operatives

  • Amazon Brigade: With the exception of Black Manta, all known operatives of this circle are women.
  • Elemental Powers: Siren represents water, Volcana represents fire, Poison Ivy represents earth, Livewire represents lightning and Killer Frost represents ice. Black Manta is The Team Normal.

    Siren (Hila) 

    Livewire (Leslie Willis) 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/livewire__earth_27__commission_by_phil_cho_dcwjsqn_pre.jpg
Click for Civilian Look

Originally a shock-jock Leslie Willis was turned into electricity-based super villain known as Livewire.


  • Deadpan Snarker: Comes with her job as a Shock Jock.
  • Dumbass DJ: Before gaining her powers, she was a popular DJ who spent all her time insulting Superman in order to boost her ratings.
  • Elemental Baggage: She works like a battery; she must absorb charge from other electricity sources to use her powers, and when that charge runs out, she's normal.
  • Fire, Ice, Lightning: Has formed a trio of sorts with Killer Frost and Volcana.
  • Flipping the Bird: In her Arkham mugshot.
  • The Glasses Come Off: When Leslie got her powers, her eyesight improved and she stopped using glasses. But when she is wearing an inhibitor collar in Arkham, her powers don't work and she has to wear glasses again.
  • Hand Blast: Livewire also uses an unusual application of which is the ability to act as a radio antenna as well as fire powerful blasts of electrical energy.
  • Inferiority Superiority Complex: She's been diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. She has an exaggerated sense of self importance and constant attention seeking behavior. She is also oversensitive to failure, is prone to extreme mood swings between self-admiration and crippling insecurity, and tends to exploit interpersonal relationships for short-term gain.
  • The Lad-ette: While she's a woman, she doesn't act very feminine.
  • Lightning Can Do Anything: Passing through Superman first apparently means it can create metahumans. Applying the trope to Livewire specifically, she's able to do nonsensical things like dive into TV screens and then appear on them.
  • Logical Weakness: Livewire and water do not mix. Her stored electricity will short circuit and at least partially dissipate if she gets wet.
  • Navel-Deep Neckline: She has a large lightning bolt-shaped slit that goes down to her belly button.
  • Psycho Electro: She has electrical powers and isn't very sane.
  • Shock and Awe: Gains electric powers after being struck by lightning. Livewire has the ability to absorb, generate and project volumes of electrical energy of an extremely high voltage. She also has the ability to transform into living energy. In that form she can transmit herself through powerlines.
  • Statuesque Stunner: She's 5'9"/175cm tall, and she's not bad looking at all.

    Poison Ivy (Pamela Isley) 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/poison_ivy_e_27_enhanced.jpg
Click for Civilian Look

A brilliant botanical biochemist, Pamela Isley is a fervent eco-terrorist out to save the world's plant life by any means necessary.


  • Action Mom: She's the spiritual mother of Tefé Holland/Sprout. She's also the parent/creator of Hazel, Thorn and Rose Isley.
  • Adaptational Badass: While powerful, most versions of Ivy are Glass Cannons that rely on her plants to do all the fighting. Here, she has enhanced physical capabilities to go with her plant powers.
  • Adaptational Angst Downgrade: Since Jason Woodrue doesn't interact with her much on Earth-27, she doesn't have a history of abuse that many of her counterparts do.
  • Amazing Technicolor Population: When she's in Poison Ivy mode, her skin turns green due to her connection to The Green. In Arkham Asylum, Ivy's inhibitor collar lowers her chlorophyll levels, turning her skin from green to flesh colored. Since her powers are what corrected her vision, she also needs her glasses when she wears the collar.
  • Anti-Villain: She wants to protect plant life and stop humans from polluting the world and deforesting it. The problem is that she views a plant's life as infinitely more valuable than any number of humans' lives (even if it's just a tiny leaf, since that leaf can sprout into a new plant).
  • Badass Bookworm: She's a very talented and knowledgeable botanist and chemist, but she's also one of the most deadly people on the planet, with powerful control over nature.
  • Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: Her outfit as Poison Ivy shows off her toned stomach, and she's incredibly feminine and seductive.
  • Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: With Harley and Catwoman as the Gotham City Sirens.
  • Betty and Veronica: She is the Betty to Joker's Veronica and Harley's Archie. Compared to the Joker, she is far more loving and affectionate toward Harley. Granted, it's not saying much and she isn't above her own problems.
  • Beware the Quiet Ones: Somewhat. Back when she was just Pamela, she was actually pretty shy and demure with the implications of having controlling parents. Then her accident happens and she finally vents out her problems and issues.
  • Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: The redhead to Harley's blonde and Selina's brunette.
  • Blue-and-Orange Morality: What keeps her from being a purely evil character despite her occasional state as a Misanthrope Supreme is her completely alien sense of right and wrong. In short, she considers crimes in terms of their effect on nature, starting with plant life, then animals, with humanity on the lower scale.
  • Charm Person: Ivy's pheromones tend to work like this. She can also use more direct Mind Control through toxic kisses (when they don't just kill outright).
  • Cultured Badass: She is quite versed in being sophisticated and lady-like. However, she mostly uses it as part of her Femme Fatale allure. She also drops obscure botanical knowledge at the drop of a hat, often in the context of explaining that You Are Already Dead to her poisoning victims.
  • Dark Action Girl: As said below, she isn't much of a fighter but that doesn't make her any less dangerous.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Being around Harley so much gives her a lot of practice.
  • Defrosting Ice Queen: Upon meeting Harley, Ivy softened somewhat towards humans, but still manages to be quite strict whenever Harley screws up her plans. Which is frequently.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: Will straight up murder all of humanity because they mistreat plants. Hell, even being vegetarian is enough to earn a death sentence from her.
  • Drugged Lipstick: Most common explanation for her deadly or mind controlling kiss.
  • Eco-Terrorist: As stated previously, her ultimate goal is to avenge crimes against plants.
  • Everyone Went to School Together: She went to Gotham State University with Phillip Sullivan, creator of Black Orchid.
  • Fallen Hero: Ivy originally wanted to use her plants to help people, but circumstances led her to become the villain Poison Ivy.
  • Friends with Benefits: This is one way to describe her relationship with Harley.
  • Garden of Evil: She tends to constantly be making these for bases of operations, which is only logical.
  • Garden Garment: She's usually wearing leaves and flowers.
  • Good Powers, Bad People: The current image trope. Ivy's control over plant life would have been fairly benevolent on its own. Too bad she is an insane and genocidal misanthrope.
  • Green Means Natural: The chlorokinetic villainess Poison Ivy has green eyes, generally wears green, and sometimes has green skin.
  • Green Thumb: The quintessential plant-themed comic book character. She is an avatar of The Green after all.
  • Honorary Aunt: She and Selina are Lucy Quinzel's 'aunts'.
  • Hypocrite:
    • It's kind of hypocritical that a woman who claims to want to protect plants from being exploited does so by... manipulating plants to grow in all manner of unnatural ways.
    • For all her disdain of humanity and hating using people, a large part of her motivation boils down to payback for her neglected childhood and heartbreak from her college professor, which is a very personal, selfish and petty driving force.
  • I Have Many Names: Rose Branch, Lilly Bush, Ivy Thorn, Patient #66181-M are among her aliases.
  • Kiss of Death: She can easily transmit poison through her lips.
  • Leg Focus: She has very long, toned, yet shapely legs.
  • Man-Eating Plant: She specializes in sicking these on her enemies.
  • Mad Scientist: Possesses a disturbed and unhinged love for plants, to the point of preferring them to people.
  • Master Poisoner: Her main form of attack; it helps that her body makes it on its own, though she can make it in a lab just as well.
  • Morality Pet: Harley is this to her, serving as her first real connection to humanity.
  • Ms. Fanservice: Ivy is this as always with her voluptuously athletic body, impressive hourglass figure, buxom breasts, and long shapely legs. She tends not to wear anything, other than leaves and vines.
  • Plant Person: The example, in comics. Often, her skin is colored green and she protrudes leaves to cement the fact.
  • Poisonous Person: Her body (and the plants she controls) typically utilize a wide variety of poisons and toxins which can kill in anywhere from seconds to days.
  • Redhead in Green: Her primary clothing is green, and her skin color has also become green, but she is always a red head.
  • Reformed Criminal: Zigzagged. While she's nominally a member of The Light, she still has her day job and doesn't commit crimes nearly as frequently as she used to.
  • Shrinking Violet: Prior to her villain days, she was very shy and this cost her a chance to find more funding for her projects, as she was too afraid to talk to Bruce. She shedded this after being exposed to chemicals that made her more confident.
  • Spike Shooter: She can shoot thorns from her wrists.
  • The Glasses Come Off: The serum that turned her into Poison Ivy corrected her vision. She needs to wear them again if her powers are suppressed though.
  • Toxic Friend Influence: Subverted case, in that Harley, despite her faults, is generally the sole person who influences Ivy away from her misanthropic attitude and contempt of humanity.
  • Truly Single Parent: She has given birth to three "sporelings" named Rose, Hazel and Thorn Isley.
  • Villainous Friendship: Her friendship with Harley is genuine on both sides. She also has shown to be on friendly terms with Catwoman, though not nearly to the extant she is with Harley.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: She may be best friends with Harley, but she sometimes shows a very low opinion of her intelligence and common sense. This is played more seriously as this is one of the factors that keep Ivy and Harley from having a long-lasting relationship.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: She wants to protect plants from the humans that abuse and massacre them. She'll go to any extremes to do this, and sees human life as meaningless by comparison.
  • Western Terrorists: Of the "Fanatical Eco-Terrorist" sub-variety. Her fixation on the health of plants often leads to her committing atrocities to protect nature at the expense of human life.
  • When Trees Attack: She can summon or grow entire trees to attack her enemies, and she can even get them to walk around.
  • Wicked Cultured: As part of her Femme Fatale allure, she can behave like a sophisticated and charming lady when she wants.

    Killer Frost (Louise Lincoln) 

Six Circle Operatives

  • Evil Genius: All members of this circle have a high intelligence on different fields.

    Blockbuster (Mark Desmond) 
  • The Ghost: While mentioned by Nightwing, he hasn't been seen in person yet.

  • Two First Names: His last name is more common as a first name.

    Mister Freeze (Victor Fries) 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mr_freeze_2027_earth_27.jpg
Click for Civilian Look

After his wife became terminally ill, Dr. Victor Fries devoted his life to saving her and used cryogenics to freeze her to get time to find a cure. After being attacked by his boss Ferris Boyle and exposed to some of his chemicals, Fries could only survive in sub-zero temperatures and built a special suit to keep himself alive, becoming Mr Freeze.


  • Abusive Parents: His father was an abusive Control Freak.
  • Affably Evil: Trying to cure his wife was his main motivation, and is perfectly capable of addressing people with 'professional courtesy' if his cell is in a suitably cold temperature.
    • He even saves Selina from Hush's procedure because that's what Nora would have wanted.
  • An Ice Person: Unlike most examples, his powers don't come naturally. Instead, he has to use his gun (which may or may not be linked to his sub-zero body temperature) to achieve this.
  • Bald of Evil: The transformation process apparently caused all his hair to fall out.
  • Cursed with Awesome: Freeze's condition means that room temperatures will kill him. However, he can survive without his suit in bitterly cold regions that would kill ordinary humans. Arguably more Blessed with Suck, since super-cold environments are comparatively rare/temporarily limited and usually very barren, whereas the world where all the people live is out to kill him.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: His desire to save his wife is a major part of his motivation.
  • Freak Lab Accident: This is what gave him his powers.
  • Freeze Ray: His Freeze Gun.
  • Heel–Face Revolving Door: He constantly switches allegiance since Nora's health is his main priority.
  • Herr Doktor: Victor's ethnicity is Germanic and has a doctorate in medicine and engineering.
  • Icy Blue Eyes: A literal example.
  • Literally Shattered Lives: He invokes this trope with objects just as much as with people.
  • The Lost Lenore: Nora is perhaps one of the best examples in comic books and media.
  • Love Makes You Evil: Especially when the one you loved is dead.
  • Misanthrope Supreme: The neglect and occasional abuse of his parents made him lose faith in humanity. Nora actually helped him to improve, but went back at it after her condition worsened.
  • Sinister Shades: He's usually seen with red goggles.
  • Tragic Villain: A depressed scientist desperate to save his wife's life before it's too late, and is forced to live in coldness, never getting attached to warmth due to the incident by one specific person. He also holds the page image.

Brotherhood of Dada

    In General 
  • Composite Character: The Brotherhood of Evil is combined with Mr. Nobody's team the Brotherhood of Dada, which the Brain took over and made his own.
  • A House Divided: The original group split up due to The Brain and other members growing dissatisfied with the goals of Mr. Nobody. Morden would then create his own faction, the Brotherhood of Nada.
  • Multi National Team: The members of the Brotherhood come from France (The Brain, Mallah, Laura, Gemini), Germany (Ultra-Humanite, Plasmus) and England (Phobia). Immortus is so old he doesn't have a conventional nationality.

    The Brain (Maximilien Olivier)

  • Unholy Matrimony: With his creation and boyfriend, Monsieur Mallah.

    Monsieur Mallah 
  • Alliterative Name: Monsieur Mallah.
  • Composite Character: Him being experimented by S.T.A.R. Labs was given to him instead of fellow primate Grodd (who was only there for a time before being shipped to Cadmus Labs).
  • The Dragon: To the Brain.
  • Gratuitous French: Adds french to his sentences on occasion.
  • Intelligent Primate: Once a regular gorilla, he was given great intellect by The Brain, and now he speaks French and knows how to operate a machine gun and other weapons.
  • Killer Gorilla: He's a gorilla who serves the Brotherhood of Evil.
  • Unholy Matrimony: With his master and boyfriend, The Brain.
  • Uplifted Animal: Although unlike Grodd and Simeon, he wasn't born with his intelligence. He obtained it after being experimented on by the Brain.

    Ultra-Humanite (Gerard Shugel) 
Click for Civilian Look

  • Brain in a Jar: When he's between hosts.
  • Genius Bruiser: Transferred his consciousness into a gorilla's body. He also knows scientific techniques which endow superpowers to ordinary humans.
  • Grand Theft Me: Aside from being incredibly intelligent, he also specializes in transporting his brain from one body to another.
  • Killer Gorilla: His current body is that of an albino gorilla.
  • Maniac Monkeys: Ultra-Humanite sort of fits this trope, as he is a Mad Scientist inside an albino gorilla's body.
  • My Brain Is Big: In his albino gorilla form.
  • Team Member in the Adaptation: He's a member of the Brotherhood of Evil/Dada, while in the comics he wasn't related to either group, being more associated with the Injustice League and the Secret Society of Super Villains.

  • Parent-Child Team: In the comics she was long dead by the time her daughter's criminal career started, but here both mother and daughter are part of the Brotherhood.
  • Spared by the Adaptation: Unlike the comics, she lives to aid her own daughter's criminal career.

    Gemini de Mille

  • Evil Old Folks: Looks as old as a man over a millennium old would look like and is a war monger.
  • Meaningful Name: Semprevita, which roughly translates as Everliving.
  • Taught by Experience: His strength is that his long life has given him plenty of battle experience.

    Phobia (Angela Hawkins) 

    Plasmus (Otto Von Furth) 

Seventh Circle Operatives

  • Evil Sorcerer: With the exception of Abra Kadabra, all members of this circle are evil sorcerers of different fields.

    Klarion the Witch Boy (Klarion Bleak) 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/klarion_earth27.jpg

  • Achilles' Heel: His sole known weakness at this point is that he needs to use a familiar to stay anchored in this world; target the familiar, and he'll be kicked out for a while until he can re-anchor himself.
  • Adaptation Origin Connection: In the comics he's not related to the Lords of Chaos.
  • All Witches Have Cats: He's called the Witch Boy and has his cat familiar Teekl.
  • Always Chaotic Evil: Being a Psychotic Manchild and a Chaos Lord, it's a given he'd be an Ax-Crazy psychopath.
  • Badass in a Nice Suit: A bit like a schoolboy outfit to go along with his appearance.
  • Beware the Silly Ones: The natural result of having a Lord of Chaos that has the attitude and temperament of a child.
  • Child Mage: Though he looks like a teenager, he acts like a child.
  • Composite Character: Klarion's personality and appearance is taken straight from Young Justice, including his relationship to the Lords of Chaos.
  • Devilish Hair Horns: As if he didn't look evil enough without his Game Face, though as a Lord of Chaos this is most likely intentional on his part.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He truly cares about his Familiar Teekl.
  • Evil Sorcerer: He uses magic, and is evil.
  • Familiar: His cat Teekl. It serves as his anchor to the mortal world.
  • Humanoid Abomination: He's an immortal and immensely powerful extraplanar Energy Being of chaotic magic who doesn't really have a quantifiable age but has certainly been around since the dawn of our cosmos, has been described as "elemental" and "fundamental to the universe", is not and never was human but wears the form of one like a cheap suit, engages with us almost solely for entertainment value, and thinks in - often childishly malevolent - ways that are massively alien to humanity, and apparently other species in his 'verse.
  • Immortal Immaturity: He's known as the witch boy for a reason.
  • Instant Runes: His magical abilities can cause complex runes to appear on the ground around him.
  • Physical God: As a Lord of Chaos, he's on the same level as the likes of Dr. Fate.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: He and Teekl have red eyes, and Klarion is not someone to be underestimated.
  • Right-Hand Cat: His familiar Teekl.
  • The Sociopath: In the sense that he views the people around him as toys and he enjoys breaking them.
  • The Trickster: Not a nice one though.
  • Unskilled, but Strong: When comparing his magic to Dr. Fate's, he seems to rely more on brute force.

    Abra Kadabra (Citizen Abra) 
  • Adaptational Backstory Change: Citizen Abra is not from the future in the 64th century instead he's a present set character since Time Travel doesn't exist in Earth-27.

  • Clarke's Third Law: He can do "magical" things because of his advanced technology.
  • Magic from Technology: Abra Kadabra uses advanced technology that gives him the effect of magic.
  • Puppet Permutation: One of his most memorable stunts involves turning the Flash into a living marionette puppet. It's since become a signature trick of his.

  • The Team Normal: He's the only member of the circle not to be a magic user, being a techno-sorcerer.

Former member of the Grand Coven under the name of The Akkadian and currently a member of The Light's Seventh Circle.

  • Composite Character: He is a composite character with Vincent Yatz. He's also been combined with Vortigern from Arthurian myths and the famed occultist Johann Georg Faust.

  • Dirty Coward: He's perfectly willing to sell his soul. However, he always chickens out when collecting time arrives.
  • Evil Sorcerer: Emphasis on the "evil" part, and probably one of the most morally bankrupt individuals in the DCU.
  • I Have Many Names: Felix Faust, The Akkadian, Vortigern, Johann Georg Faust.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: Nobody knows his true name, Felix Faust being merely his most recent and well known alias.

  • Really Gets Around: Faust has been married and widowed several times, and among his wives is Sevira, Tala and Rowena.
  • Really 700 Years Old: No one knows quite how long he's been around, but it is known that he's been around for at least several millennia.
  • Unholy Matrimony: To his former apprentice and lover Tala. He and Tala took part in a ritual which a child is formed in her womb.
