    The Dragon "Family" 

(The) Dragon a.k.a. Emperor Kurr

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/savage_dragon_comics_a.jpg

  • Back from the Dead: He survived certain deaths so many times thanks to his potent healing factor.
  • Beard of Sorrow: Grows one after Debbie's death.
  • Big Bad: Emperor Kurr persona.
  • Body Horror: After being beaten to a pulp and stuffed into a narrow smokestack, his Healing Factor turns him into a twisted monstrosity. Later, he has to have Mighty Man break every bone in his body so they can be set properly.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: As a result of Horde.
  • The Chosen One: Of his home species, which is the source of his superpowers.
  • Full-Frontal Assault: He's naked in his climactic battle with Overlord, as a result of Overlord vaporizing his clothes along with the team of Red Shirts that came along.
  • Good Thing You Can Heal: Dragon has been Impaled with Extreme Prejudice on a church spire, been repeatedly dismembered, had a bowling-ball sized hole blasted through his chest on at least three separate occasions, his skin burned off, etc.
  • Fusion Dance: The circumstances of his death result in his essence getting entangled with William Jonson's body, allowing Dragon to periodically take control, bulking Jonson up in the process.
  • Healing Factor: It's so powerful, he even develops immunity to mind-control. It's also a family trait, but not a racial one, and is associated with the Chosen One status; his brother survived his mother being disintegrated when he was literally minutes post-conception — the fetal mass was fished from her ashes and proceeded to grow into a normal, healthy baby.
    • There's a bit of realistic consequences to go with it. Once, when severely beaten (his jaw broken, fingers mangled, among other injuries), he had to go to Mighty Man (who is a nurse in his/her civilian identity) to have his bones re-broken so they would heal correctly. So while he'll eventually recover from almost any injury, his body won't automatically just straighten everything out.
  • HULK MASH!-Up: Dragon's creator, Erik Larsen, cited Hulk being one of his inspirations or the character and stories, along with Batman, Captain Marvel and Speed Racer. Through the book's run, Dragon was often derided by real-life critics as being "Hulk with a fin on his head". This criticism was parodied in issue #64, where Dragon and his girlfriend come across a statue erected in Dragon's honor, which is too large and makes him look brutish, more closely fitting a "Hulk with a fin".
  • Immune to Bullets: Bullets have no effect on him. They bounce right off.
  • Immune to Mind Control: Downplayed. He doesn't resist completely the first time but all subsequent attempts using the same technique are ineffective thanks to his Healing Factor.
  • Improbable Aiming Skills: His aim is perfect from the first time he steps onto a shooting range.
    • In fact, it has been stated to be one of his powers. When he was struck by negate and had his abilities stripped, he noted that this power was removed and this was the first time he ever missed.
  • Lightning Bruiser: He's a big strong guy but unlike most strongmen, he is extremely fast and is as agile as characters like Spider-Man.
  • Mysterious Past: For the first part of the series, Dragon is a total amnesiac who remembers absolutely nothing about who he is or where he came from.
  • Naked on Arrival: Dragon first shows up naked in a burning field.
  • Not Wearing Tights: The only time Dragon wears spandex is during his stint in SOS. Before that, he wore a police uniform.
  • Omniglot: He lost count of the number of languages he knows, so all he's sure of is that it's around a hundred.
    • Typically, he doesn't even realize he knows the language until he hears it due to Laser-Guided Amnesia.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: Dragon started out as a nickname given to him by Nurse Ann due to his appearance. Since he didn't remember his original name, he adopted "Dragon" as his legal name.
  • Planet Looters: In his former life as the psychotic emperor of a race of aliens searching for a new home, he wanted to develop a virus to wipe out humanity so his race could displace them.
  • Pre-Mortem One-Liner e.g. When about to blow up a monster's head using one of Dung's high-pressure diarrhea-spraying cannons: "Eat shit and die!"
  • Rubber-Forehead Alien: He looks essentially human, save the green skin and fin on his head.
  • Super Cop: He served as a police officer for much of his career.
  • Superpowered Evil Side:Emperor Kurr.
  • Super-Strength: He is massively strong, and more powerful than any human could ever be.
  • Top-Heavy Guy: He has large muscles and comparatively small legs, and according to Erik Larsen that look isn't stylistic - he's really shaped like that because it's normal for his species.
  • Upgrade Artifact: How he knows so much about Earth.
  • Wall Crawl: Since he's strong enough to dig his fingers into solid stone.

Malcolm Dragon

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sd199_13_14_copy.jpg

  • Chick Magnet: By virtue of being both the celebrity son of a beloved superhero and a total Hunk, there's rarely a woman Malcolm meets who isn't attracted to him. This includes his own half-sister.
  • Electric Black Guy: Inherited his mother's power but only uses it as a last resort.
  • Half-Human Hybrid: He's the product of an Interspecies Romance between the male alien Dragon and an African-American human woman.
  • Healing Factor: As The Dragon's son, he inherited the Chosen One genes, and that includes the regeneration. The fact it, and the Super-Strength, pass on through the generations actually plays a plot point in his story: it's discussed during his wife's pregnancy that it's actually ideal for her to have the baby surgically removed from her uterus prior to its full development, since its healing factor will allow it to survive the premature birth much better than her frail human womb could handle its growing Super-Strength. His step-sister Angel, who aborted a child they conceived, learns that their son survived being aborted because of this trait. And another lover of his, Tierra Jones, actually dies because she got pregnant by him and refused to have the baby extracted, resulting in their son fatally kicking its way out of her at some point in her pregnancy and going on to raise itself on the streets.
  • Really Gets Around: Malcolm has seduced and bedded numerous women throughout the comic's run, which inevitably culminated in him scoring an outright foursome with three of his main love interests.
  • Polyamory: Played-with. While Malcolm and Maxine have a healthy sex life and had experimented with multiple partners, Malcolm finds that he isn't comfortable with sharing his girlfriend and inevitably pushes Maxine to stop inviting people into their bed altogether. That said, despite all of their claims of now being in a monogamous relationship, both Malcolm and Maxine actively lust for Angel even after their marriage. Eventually the Threesome Subtext is thrown out all together in later issues as Malcolm and Maxine have effectively entered a mĆ©nage-Ć -trois with Angel.
  • Super-Strength: Like his father, he has enormous strength and is far stronger than any human.
  • Legacy Character: Malcolm goes on to replace his father as the titular hero and inevitably follows in his old man's footsteps by becoming a police officer as well.
  • Twofer Token Minority: Kind of; he's alien on the father's side and African-American on the mother's side.
  • Unresolved Sexual Tension: He and Angel were in this phase for the longest time. Siblings in everything but blood, something was bound to happen eventually. Eventually the two finally do the deed with Maxine's blessing, and Angel later becomes the married couple's mistress all in but name.

Jennifer Dragon (nee Murphy) AKA Smasher

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/smasher_murphy.jpg

  • Brought Down to Normal: In the Savage World, she eventually loses her powers due to the Nullifier. This causes her a great deal of angst as she fears she can't protect her daughter any more.
  • Captain Ersatz: Of Wonder Woman, at least is appearance.
  • Cute Bruiser: She's beautiful and a pleasant person, but also a super-strong, super-tough vigilante who can more than hold her own in a fight.
  • Does Not Know Her Own Strength: Pulped the head of her abusive first husband to protect her daughter when her superpowers manifested.
  • Mama Bear: She first used her powers to protect her daughter from her abusive husband who wanted to take out his frustration on her since Jennifer was no longer suffering anymore.
  • Most Common Superpower: As is typical of Larson's style.
  • Killed Off for Real: At least in the current reality.
    • She was later spotted in Dimension X — only to be killed again. And again. And again.

Angel Dragon (nee Murphy)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/45e914da2fc4dac90677d09485c05f2f.jpg

  • Abusive Parents: Her own father, on top of being an domestic abuser, tried to beat her up after her mom's superpowers made her resilient to his beatings. Keep in mind Angel was a infant/toddler at the time.
  • All Love Is Unrequited: The second they hit their teenage years, Angel starts becoming seriously attracted to her half-brother Malcolm who rebuffs her advances at every turn. At least until Maxine convinces Malcolm to finally agree to having a threesome with her.
  • Berserk Button: Hurting Malcolm has consistently been shown to be a trigger that sends Angel into an Unstoppable Rage that has resulted in the death of nearly every villain who has earned her ire. This is partly because Malcolm is the only family she has left and can't imagine living in a world without him.
  • But I Can't Be Pregnant!: With her half-brother's child, no less.
  • Cute Bruiser: Has superhuman strength and invulnerability just like her mom and manifested these powers at an earlier age as a young teen.
  • Dark Mistress: Her Savage World counterpart became one to Mr. Glum.
  • Does Not Know Her Own Strength: Her power manifested in pretty much the same situation as her mother's.
  • Even the Girls Want Her: On top of her numerous male suitors, Angel has attracted both Maxine Dragon and Officer Alex Wilde.
  • Evil Twin: Her Savage World counterpart up until Mr. Glum merged the multiverse into a singular reality, causing Angel to inherit her counterpart's temporal history, and with it, the love her counterpart had for Glum.
  • Generation Xerox: She has the exact same powerset as her mother, manifested her abilities in a similar situation as her mother, fights crime in a star-spangled costume inspired by her mother, and inevitably falls in love with a Dragon just like her mother did.
  • Going Commando: At first, she only did this while in costume: see image. Eventually she stops wearing underwear all together, much to Malcolm's embarrassment.
  • Good Girls Avoid Abortion: Averted; she does end up getting her baby to Malcolm aborted. It turns out fine, though.
  • Incest Subtext: With her half-brother, Malcolm. As of Issue 200, it's just text.
  • The Mistress: She's this to both Malcolm and his wife Maxine. Whenever she isn't busy fighting crime or helping raise their kids, Angel is having casual threesomes with the couple on the regular.
  • Ms. Fanservice: Even in the World of Buxom that is the Savage Dragon universe, Angel ended up becoming this trope as the one super-heroine in the setting with the largest amount of Fanservice to her name. This includes being featured in multiple sex scenes with various male and female members of the cast, including a full-blown splash page of her getting it on with Mr. Glum of all people.
  • Unresolved Sexual Tension: She had this dynamic for a while with Malcolm, before they finally did the deed.

She-Dragon AKA Amy Belcher (formerly Sensation)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1081821_shedragon12.jpg

  • Action Girl: She's an attractive female with Super-Strength and Super-Toughness, and consequently she doesn't stray from a good fight.
  • Brought Down to Normal: She loses her powers in the Original World because of the Nega-bomb, and in the Savage World after being pumped with the freak-out drug.
  • Clothing Damage: A Running Gag in her early days in the Police Force is that every fight would leave her with her uniform in tatters and only a couple of strategically placed shreds away from being completely naked. This stopped once she learned how to fight properly.
  • Composite Character:
    • In addition to her obvious She-Hulk references, she takes a bit from the 80s incarnation of Storm as well, what with the mohawk, leather outfits and (later) take-not-crap attitude.
    • For a time, she wore an outfit identical to a certain red-headed swords-woman.
  • Cute Bruiser: Yeah, she's a Cute Monster Girl version of the Dragon. But that means she has the same Super-Strength, Super-Toughness and Healing Factor powers that he does.
  • Delinquent Hair: Gains an oversized mohawk after her previous Godiva Hair was burnt off in battle. It serves as a "feminine emulation" of the Dragon's iconic fin.
  • HULK MASH!-Up: She-Dragon is an Expy of the Sensational She-Hulk from the 80s; even her early insanity is a reference to Walters' No Fourth Wall gimmick and her abusive mentor Johnny Redbeard was originally a Take That! against Sensational She-Hulk writer/artist John Byrne.
  • Idiot Hero: At the beginning at least, she acts in an extremely erratic and self-sabotaging fashion, which is intended to convey her mental instability. As she pulls herself back together, she smartens up.
  • Ms. Fanservice: She's a female mutate who has a very nice body and isn't afraid to show it off.

Alex Wilde

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alexwilde1.jpg
  • Fair Cop: She is quite attractive, and also a seasoned police officer.

Paul Dragon

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2020_07_15_at_83519_am_605x502.png
  • Alternate Self: Of Kurr Dragon.
  • Replacement Goldfish: Everybody (except Malcolm) treats Paul as if he were Kurr due to him having all of the latter's memories and experiences.

    Freak Force 

Barbaric & Ricochet:

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/barbaric_freak_force_savage_dragon_comics.jpg
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ricochet_2.jpg

  • Altar the Speed: Barbaric proposes to Ricochet at the insistence of SOS's merchandising guy, since Ricochet is pregnant and he can't market a couple having a baby out of wedlock.
  • Dumb Muscle: Barbaric.
  • Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: luckily, Ricochet has stretching powers.
  • Playing with Syringes: How they got powers.
  • Rubber Woman: Ricochet has a very limited form of this— she bounces and can be stretched by external forces, but can't actually shapeshift.
  • The Runaway: Both of them are teen runaways.
  • Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: Ricochet is much more attractive looking than the big, hulking brutish Barbic.
  • Wedding Smashers: Predictably, a bunch of villains show up and start a fight, but Ricochet yells at them and they stop. This trope was lampshaded beforehand; when Barbaric invites lots of superheroes to the wedding because he wants a big superhero wedding "like Reed and Sue", Ricochet points out how much of a disaster that was.

Dart AKA Jill August

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dart_i_2.jpg

  • Badass Normal: She's a completely normal human who keeps up with a team of superpowered
  • Heelā€“Face Turn: When her niece takes up the mantle, she starts as a somewhat reluctant hero, before switching to villainy and eventually taking over the Vicious Circle. It is also implied her intentions were not that noble from the start.
  • Improbable Weapon User: Her main weapon is throwing darts with uncanny accuracy.
  • Legacy Character: After the Savage World Dart's accidental murder, her niece takes up the mantle.
  • Leotard of Power: Her superhero outfit is based around a leotard that helps show off her figure.
  • Scars Are Forever: Dread Knight disintegrates her legs from the knees down.
  • When All You Have Is a Hammerā€¦: Her whole schtick is impaling people with throwing darts. This leads to a perp she helps arrest suing the city for millions for police brutality.

Horridus AKA Sara Hill

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sarahill.jpg

  • Abusive Parents: Her parents were deeply religious people who thought God was punishing them for having premarital sex and therefore treated her more like an animal than a daughter.
  • Accidental Murder: In Freak Force 1993 #13, she accidentally gets Hornet killed when she crawls through the Cosmic Cops' barrier with Hornet on her back. In Sara's defense, she had stuck her arm through the barrier to no ill effect and had assumed it was safe.
  • Achievements in Ignorance: In Freak Force 1993 #13, she infiltrates the Cosmic Copsā€™ headquarters and tries to find a way to stop them. Crawling through one of the ventilation tunnels, she accidentally damages the artificial environment and the Cosmic Copsā€™ life support system shuts down, forcing them to call off their invasion and retreat. She doesn't realize she saved the day until long afterward, and is ashamed it only happened by accident.
  • All Women Are Lustful: She tends to get a boy crazy at times, especially if they call her cute. In #71, she attempts to perform oral sex on Dragon while he's asleep, and complains that she has urges she can't satisfy because her body would hurt most men.
  • Beware My Stinger Tail: Like nearly the rest of her body, her tail is covered entirely in sharp spikes.
  • Crossover Ship: With Michelangelo of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
  • Cute Monster Girl: She's a little more monstrous than some examples of this trope, having an anthropomorphic reptilian head instead of a human face, but she's still very cute and a lovely girl despite looking like a humanoid spiky lizard.
  • A Day in the Limelight: Freak Force 1993 #13 has her play a much more active role in the story than she usually does, and ends up stopping an alien invastion.
  • Driven to Suicide: How she became an orphan — her parents committed suicide when she was 19.
  • Half-Human Hybrid: She's believed to be this at first; her mother was abducted by aliens, who impregnated her with a genetically altered embryo that become Horridus. It's later revealed she's fully alien, as she's able to pass through a force field that kills any human that tries to pass through it, including mutated ones. Vanguard deduces that she's an alien hybrid — half terran, half kh'mari.
  • Happily Married: To Battle Tank.
  • Innocent Fanservice Girl: Because of how socially inept she is, and because her parents didn't think of her as human enough to being worthy of learning what their interpretation of the bible demanded of "proper" behavior, Horridus has very little understanding of modesty, and unthinkingly flaunts or shows off her rather nicely curved figure.
  • Killed Off for Real: She is hospitalized with COVID-19 in #261, and succumbs to it in the issue afterward.
  • Madwoman in the Attic: Her parents kept her locked up in their basement for her entire childhood, which made her quite socially inept for the longest time.
  • No-Sell:
    • In Freak Force 1993 #13, due to not being human, she's able to pass through the barrier surrounding the Cosmic Copsā€™ headquarters, which allows her to sneak in and shut down their life support system, forcing their retreat.
    • In Freak Force 1997 #3, evil scientist Negate tries to drain her of her powers. Unfortunately for him, she has no powers, and immediately retaliates.
  • Prehensile Tail: Her tail is long, flexible, very strong, and can be used as an extra limb.
  • Running on All Fours: She almost always walks on all fours.
  • Tail Slap: One of her most reliable attacks is striking with her spiky tail.
  • Token Non-Human: Of the Freak Force, she's the only member that's not human.
  • Unskilled, but Strong: She spent most of her life locked in a basement and had minimal training before being drafted into crimefighting. But her thick hide, sharp spikes, agility, and alien strength make her a formidable opponent.
  • You Don't Look Like You: The 1993 Freak Force series changes her head shape, gives her full lips, and changes her eye color from green to amber. This briefly bled into the main Savage Dragon series before being changed back to her original design.

Mighty Man AKA Nurse Ann Stevens

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mighty_man.jpg
As Mighty Man

  • Attractive Bent-Gender: Ann as Mighty Man. Her friend Phyllis wants to sleep with Mighty Man even though she knows he's really Ann.
  • Blessed with Suck: Being an Expy of Captain Marvel sounds cool, except for the Gender Bender and, more seriously, that Ann can't get any nourishment of anything Mighty Man eats, which means she could starve or die of thirst if she is transformed too long.
  • Flying Brick: She can fly and has super strength and durability.
  • Gender Bender: Nurse Stevens' entire power set is that she has the ability to transform between her birth form, that of a human woman, and that of a male Flying Brick.
  • Hospital Hottie: Ann in her natural form is a fully licensed hospital nurse and a very attractive woman.
  • Killed Off for Real: her Earth version is killed by Chelsea Nirvana.
  • Missed the Call: She just happened to be the one at the deathbed of the previous Mighty Man, Robert Berman. His Grandson Billy didn't get to the hospital in time, so he transferred his powers to her instead.
    • Ann almost Missed The Call herself, being unaware of the transfer for weeks until she accidentally made the motion to transform into Mighty Man (striking her forearms together, while trying to break a fall). Her Savage World counterpart never had the accident, and went unknowing for years, until the Dragon from the original timeline showed her how to transform.
  • Secret Identity: A very effective one, since her super-identity and her true identity are completely different genders with very obviously different physiques.

Superpatriot AKA John Quincy Armstrong

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/superpatriot.jpg

  • Bottomless Magazines: His nanomachines can fabricate replacement bullets, shells and other ammunition as fast as he uses it, so he never has to worry about running out of shots in combat.
  • Nanomachines: His powers basically stem from being modified with these.
  • Old Soldier: He's been fighting since World War 2.
  • Phlebotinum Rebel: Got his original powers as a result of being captured and experimented on by Those Wacky Nazis. He destroyed their base so they couldn't replicate the process.
  • Shapeshifter Weapon: He can turn his limbs into various sorts of guns.
  • Telescoping Robot: His nanotech implants allow him to alter the length of his limbs at will by manipulating their molecules.
  • We Can Rebuild Him: After having his limbs destroyed by the Vicious Circle's Mako and being Left for Dead, he was made into a Hollywood Cyborg with Artificial Limbs.

Rapture AKA Sharona Jackson

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rapture_2.jpg

  • Breeding Slave: Implied to have happened to her in Dimension X, before she fought back and took control of the monsters. After she captures her former allies who have become trapped there, she tells them in no uncertain terms that she plans to have her monsters do the same thing to them.
  • Clingy Jealous Girl To Dragon.
  • Electric Black Guy: Electric Black Girl, actually; she's a African-American woman with Shock and Awe abilities, which is one of the most common power sets for African-American superhumans in comics.
  • Faceā€“Heel Turn: In Issue 230, she is revealed to be alive in Dimension X, and very, very evil.
  • Hooker with a Heart of Gold: Invoked but ultimately subverted.
  • Killed Off for Real: On Earth, Darkworld, and Savage World.
  • Most Common Superpower: she admits that she relies on static cling to keep her costume in place.
  • Psycho Electro: Rapture in The Savage World is a homeless schizophrenic who believes she's an angel/alien with invisible wings.
  • Shock and Awe: She has electric powers.
  • Stripperific: Even in her civilian attire she's liable to wear Vapor Wear or show Underboobs.

    The Deadly Duo 

Kill-Cat

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kill_cat.jpg

  • Pointy Ears: Probably as a side-effect of his cat powers.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: Despite being constantly shown as incompetent, when not outright destructive, he considers himself one of the greatest superheroes and does not understand why other heroes don't call him for help more often.

The Kid Avenger

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kid_avenger_1.jpg

  • Mike Nelson, Destroyer of Worlds: during Mars Attacks! Image, he accidentally blows up Detroit, and Later God World.
  • Powered Armor: His powers come from a power armour that allows him to fly and shoot energy blasts.
  • Side Kick: He has a Robin/Batman relationship with Kill-Cat, even if his powers make him the most powerful of the two (but not the most competente).

    The Vicious Circle 

Overlord

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1087235_overlord5.jpg
  • Arch-Enemy: Was this for Dragon in the old days.
  • Big Bad: Overlord 1 was this until his death in issue 21.Overlord 2 and 3 took over this role with the original's mind in the armor
  • Brain Uploading: Overlord 1 does this to himself inside the armor.
  • Disc-One Final Boss: Antonio Seghetti served as this during the first couple years of publication. He was soon replaced by Vic.
  • Evil Is Hammy: Oh yes. And thanks to Tony Jay, the Animated Adaptation turned this up to eleven.
  • Evil Old Folks: Overlord 1, Antonio Seghetti, was approximately 70 years old by the time of his first appearance.
  • Expy: Of Doctor Doom, apparently.
  • Legacy Character: There were three Overlords so far: Antonio Seghetti, Vic Nixon and Flash Mercury.
  • Powered Armor: Uses highly advanced armored exoskeletons to be a threat.

Cyberface or King Khan

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cyberface_1.jpg

  • Back from the Dead: Twice: First thanks to project born again so he could testify against Overlord and later through Brain Upload.
  • Big Bad: Of most story arcs he appeared in.
  • Dragon Ascendant: Was quick to replace Overlord when the later died.
  • Enemy Mine: Fought with dragon against booth Overlord and Horde.
  • Technopath: His powers. His Savage world counterpart was even powerful enough to control the entire worlds technology.

Powerhouse

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/powerhouse_savage_dragon_comics_chicken_vicious_circle_b_4.jpg

  • Anti-Villain: His goal is to create a world where "freaks" like him can live without suppression. It's just unfortunate that his hatred of humanity gets in the way.
  • Defector from Decadence: He absolutely couldn't stand Horde's leadership and briefly helped Dragon by becoming The Mole. He was quick to rejoin the vicious circle once Overlord III came.
  • Flying Brick: A classic example. The fact that he can fly also is one of the few reasons Dragon has never been able to defeat him in a fight as he is otherwise just as strong.
  • Freudian Excuse: Why he hangs around with the vicious circle: Was constantly bullied throughout his life and had to see booth his parents and grandparent commit suicide.
  • The Dragon: To Cyberface before he died and later to Overlord III.

  • Chekhov's Gunman: The Wicked Worms were introduced long before Horde but the true significance of their power was yet to be revealed.
  • Expy: The Wicked Worm is this to Mr. Mind.
  • Diabolical Mastermind: Horde preferred to work from the shadows by utilizing the mind control abilities of the wicked worms to make sure he could't be be linked to any of his activities.
  • Mind Control: The Wicked Worms can do this by attaching themselves to people.

    Other Villains 

Mako

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mako_3.jpg

  • Affably Evil: He is actually quite a nice guy. It's just that he also loves maiming and eating people.
  • Meaningful Name: "Mako" is a type of shark, while he is giant walking shark.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: Mauled Superpatriot prior to the start of the series, which was one of the events that inspired Dragon to become a police.

Mr. Glum

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jcdaewi.jpg
With his power armor
Without Power Armor

  • Beyond the Impossible: Mr. Glum, a bite-sized alien conquerer, singlehandedly fused the entire multiverse into a singlular Merged Reality in the vain hope that it would make the main universe Angel Dragon fall in love with him.
  • Boldly Coming: Lets just say he's not one to take questions of his virility lying down.
  • Mister Big: Outside of his Powered Armor, he is a very diminutive alien who is towered by anyone else, specially around his human girlfriend.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: He is in genuinely in love with Savage World!Angel Dragon and tends to react very violently when she is injured. When Angel is eventually killed by Rex Dexter, Gloom murders Rex and spends the rest of his waking existence trying to figure out a way to bring Angel back from the dead.
  • Interplay of Sex and Violence: One of the most infamous scenes in this comic book is a full splash page of Glum having sex with Angel Dragon Atop a Mountain of Corpses brought about by their conquest of Dimension-X.
  • Interspecies Romance: With Savage World!Angel Dragon. He's a red-skinned alien dwarf from another dimension while she's a superpowerd human from an alternate Earth.
  • Galactic Conqueror: In Dimension-X, he had conquered several planets and laid waste to many others that stood in his way.
  • Killer Rabbit: Glum looks a little red doll and has a rather harmless name, but he is not to be underestimated: he is a fearsome Galactic Conqueror that devastated armies in his powered suit and could very well destroy Earth.
  • Powered Armor: To make up for his height, he wears a power armor that makes him a much more formidable foe capable of trading blows with the dragons.
  • Wife Husbandry: He effectivley adopted the Savage World's Angel Dragon and raised her to become his Dark Mistress in Dimension-X. When all of his plans to bring her back from the dead fall short, Glum just decides to start from scratch by raising another Angel Dragon from infancy into becoming his replacement lover.
