Characters / The Infinite Loops Loops G To M

Go To

Characters from universes starting with the letters G, H, I, J, K, L, or M.

    open/close all folders 

Anchors:

    Godzilla 

Godzilla

Anchor for his universe and pretty much all giant monsters. His baseline is the second Showa-era Godzilla (1955-1975), but he's been known to replace all of his other selves. His Loops cycle through the Showa period, Heisei period and some of the Millennium films, along with Legendary Pictures' Godzilla.

  • Interspecies Friendship: Gets along surprisingly well with Ranma Saotome and Sunset Shimmer. Averted with most other Loopers and non-Loopers, who tend to be scared out of their wits when he shows up.
  • Interspecies Romance: With Roxanne "Roxy" Hammond, a cloned T-Rex from the Jurassic Park Loops, after she Looped in as Zilla.
  • Papa Wolf: Don't mess with his kids. Junior and Biollante may be perfectly capable of taking care of themselves, but he'll still put you down if you try to hurt them.
  • Summon Bigger Fish: Ranma Saotome can summon him as needed, dating to the early days of the Loops. Even after becoming an Anchor, Godzilla doesn't mind this status, as Ranma only rarely summons, and when he does, it's for those times when he really needs help.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: He's mellowed considerably since he started Looping. Still enjoys a good fight though.

    Gundamverses 

Cosmic Era Anchor - Kira Yamato

  • The Ace: He picked up how to pilot a Mobile Suit just from watching someone else try to operate it for a couple minutes in baseline and also fixed its OS in a couple of minutes during that same battle. He’s only gotten better from there.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: He’s a kind soul and doesn’t like killing. That said, you harm anyone he cares about and you’ll be lucky if there’s a body left to recover.
  • Bifurcated Weapon: Generally, if his Mobile Suit has two beam sabers, they can link together into a...
  • Double Weapon: Only did it once or twice with his baseline Gundams, but if he’s not dual-wielding or using a specific one weapon style, then he’s doing this.
  • Dual Wielding: A carryover from baseline. If his Gundam doesn’t have a shield or two-handed weapon in hand, he’s most likely going to be doing this. He’s done it with knives, beam sabers and beam rifles. This also applies to his own personal melee weaponry too as he often finds himself replacing someone who does this.
  • The Gloves Come Off: This is what happens when he considers you a threat. If you’re lucky, he'll make it quick and painless.
  • Good Is Not Soft: He is likely one of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet. Make him see you as a threat and he'll make you regret it, if you survive.
  • Martial Pacifist: Avoids killing if he can help it. However, he’s also a near unstoppable Mobile Suit pilot and is trained in all forms of self defense.
  • Mindlink Mates: At the time they worked everything out, the ladies had awakened enough of their potential psychic nature to do this.
  • Nice Guy: Even with all the loops he’s been through and the grimness he’s had to endure because of them, he’s never stopped being this. However…
  • One True Threesome: Both of his baseline love interests started looping at the same time. It took some time and effort, but now they wouldn’t give each other up for the world.
  • Robot Buddy: He has a small robotic bird made for him by his friend Athrun Zala from baseline. Its name is Birdy.
  • Troll: If he’s feeling particularly bored, he does things like swap out the OS of his enemies Mobile Suits for a Rickroll, lock down every comm frequency during battle with Nyancat or set up his Gundams to dance to a variation of Gangnam Style.

Neotopia/SD Gundam Force Anchor - Captain Gundam

  • Beware the Nice Ones: Probably the most adorkable robot you'll meet from Neotopia... at least until you threaten Shute or his brother Madnug. Pray he doesn't use a Soul Drive boost to take you out.
  • Big Brother Instinct: If he and Madnug/Gerbera are both Awake in a loop, expect Captain to be looking out for him, a LOT. Even with his brother not Awake, he'll still try to save Madnug from his Baseline death.
  • Chronic Hero Syndrome: He'll always try to save people, from his brother to his best friend Shute, or anyone else that might need it.
  • Good Is Not Soft: Well let's see, he killed Commander Sazabi in Baseline for the whole invasion thing, he'll probably be willing to do that for anyone dumb enough to cause that much damage again.

    Half-Life 

Gordon Freeman

Anchor of the Half-Life Loops; his personality comes from the Freeman's Mind machinima.

     How to Train Your Dragon 

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third and Toothless (Co-Anchors)

  • True Companions: They, along with Naruto and Kurama, are the original Co-Anchors of the Loops.

     Invader Zim 

Dib Membrane

  • Crippling Overspecialization: It's stated that when he started Looping, he initally speced himself in abilities that would let him more easily expose Zim to the world... which went about as well as you can expect in a world that runs on a healthy combo of Humans Are Morons and Apathetic Citizens. This means that when Zim and Tak started Looping and developing more roboust abilities, Dib quickly outclassed beyond the point of catching up.

     I Wanna Be The Guy 

The Kid/The Guy

The anchor to the I Wanna Be the Guy loops.
  • Defeating the Undefeatable: This version of the Kid did a perfect run of I Wanna Be the Guy, (basically the video game embodiment of Nintendo Hard), without knowing where the traps would be beforehand. Most of the Admins and Loopers were expecting to never see the Kid start Looping.
  • Unexpected Character: No one expected Ares to get him looping. Not at all.

    Jurassic Park (and World) 

Alan Grant

Anchor for his universe. A paleobiologist, he was disoriented by his first Loop and was quickly killed, angering his Admin Artemis, who put him to work trying to make Jurassic Park work. She later recruited him for help in the Prehistoric Park Loops, hoping to get them out of their Read-Only status.

     Kirby 

Kirby

Hero of Dreamland
  • Armor-Piercing Question: He hits the Mage Sisters with one via pointing out that, considering Void Termina is an Omnicidal Maniac, who's to say that they'll be spared if he's successfully awakened? Cue Zan sheepishly asking to join up with the Star Allies upon realizing that she and her sisters don't have a high chance of survival.
  • Big Eater: May be the biggest eater in the entire multiverse (not that Pinke will admit)
  • Determinator: Vowed to befriend Nightmare (who Awoke from the Crisis), no matter what the wizard thinks about it.
  • Does Not Know His Own Strength: He normally does, but sometimes he forgets that Unawake loopers can't handle tougher blows. He accidently broke Duncan's leg trying to knock him over merely because he forgot that while Unawake, he's mostly a normal human.
  • Physical God: Possible connections to Void Termina aside, Kirby has been theorized to be on the same power levels of the O7
  • She Is Not My Girlfriend: Has this reaction about Ribbon when Dedede teases him about it
  • Suddenly Voiced: Justified, as spending so much time in the loops has given him a better grasp on speaking.

    Madokaverse 

Madoka Kaname

The original Anchor, until she Ascended. For information on her, see The Infinite Loops Admins

Sayaka Miki

Chosen by Madoka herself as the new Anchor of her universe after the Restoration.
  • Me's a Crowd: She can split off Oktavia, the Witch version of her, as a separate combatant to help her fight.
  • Mind over Matter: She spent most of her time after her Branch's destruction as a "data ghost" in the Star Wars Loop. She acquired Jedi powers as a result.
  • Sealed Good in a Can: In baseline, is one of two safety measures Madoka used to seal away her memories.
  • You Are in Command Now: Madoka herself chose her as the new Anchor (Madoka was the previous Anchor, but after she Ascended, couldn't hold the position anymore).

    Mass Effect 

Shepard

Due to a glitch in the coding, almost nothing about Shepard remains consistent from Loop to Loop. However, since the only other viable choice for an Anchor was the Reapers, Shepard was the choice.

  • The Ace: Still very much so, but Shepard also occasionally replaces other badasses, such as Mace Windu, or Blasto.
  • Badass Adorable: When (s)he's a pony in Equestria.
  • Drives Like Crazy:
    • Actually justified here; the Mako was not supposed to be driven with the Mass Effect core on (8 kilograms of mass and 500 horsepower means a lot of crashing will happen). Also, the company who produces the Mako changes from loop to loop, meaning the specifications on the power core, steering, and thrust also change. Even so, everyone is still terrified of Shepard when they're behind the wheel.
    • The main issue is stated not to be that Shepard won't get you where you need to go, it's just they'll leave you terrified till you get there.
  • Gender Bender: Due to a coding glitch, Shepard's gender changes from Loop to Loop.
  • Me's a Crowd: Can use the Kage Bushin no Jutsu, and also once downloaded their consciousness into several Geth Primes. Later on, it's also revealed that Shepard keeps Synthesis-based Doombots called "Shepbots" in their Pocket, who are mentally based off of people Shepard has replaced in the past besides themselves.
  • Multiple-Choice Past: Just like the games. Even Shepard's not sure what their original history, combat class, or gender was. This gets deconstructed, however, as it's stated that in their earliest Loops, without any explanation as to why their history was constantly being swapped around, Shepard nearly went insane if it hadn't been for a meeting with Nanoha.
  • Sanity Slippage: With Shepard not having an explanation for their changing history in their earliest Loops, they nearly went crazy. A visit to Nanoha's universe and learning about the Loops was more or less all that averted them going insane.

    Marvel Comics 
One of the first two universes outside the original seven to start Looping, alongside the DC-verse.Due to its size, there was some difficulty in determining whom exactly was the Anchor for the Marvel Universe, with the Loopers themselves having narrowed it down to five options. It turned out to be...

Spider-Man / Peter Parker

The Spectacular/Amazing/Ultimate... The Adjectival Superhero and the Heart of the Marvel Heroes.

    Mario 

Mario

Hero of the Mushroom Kingdom

    Megaverse 
Due to this Loop being so badly damaged, it requires more than one Anchor. Even worse, the sections based on other parts of the Megaman verse were so corrupted that it took them even longer to get going.

Rock Light (DLN-001)

Also known as Mega Man, Rock Light jointly shares Anchor status with his 'twin' sister Roll. The two are, for all intents and purposes, full Anchors and only one needs be Awake to run an iteration.

  • All Your Powers Combined: He can do this, he just tends not to (especially given Dr. Wily's Dreamer status). Technically what he does is switch and fire the different Master Weapons he's copied so fast that it looks like this is happening.
  • Awesomeness by Analysis: As explained by Roll during the Mega Pony loop:
    Roll: Because that's what my brother does. Blues may be military and I may take to fighting styles better than Rock, but this is what he's best at. He analyzes everything about his opponents. Their powers, their patterns, their tells, their attitude, the way their armor moves and fits together, all of it. He studies them as he fights, and then when he's got everything he needs, he uses it to take them apart.
  • Chronic Hero Syndrome: Cannot bring himself to stay on the sidelines, even in a sanctuary loop.
  • Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory: He remembers all of the failed attempts to get the Megaverse looping, including the one that led to the Crash (though he can't remember anything about the guest anchor).
  • Super Mode: Courtesy of some borrowed Chaos Emeralds.

Roll Light (DLN-002)

Also known as Mega Woman in the Loops she adopts a heroic persona, Roll jointly shares Anchor status with her 'twin' brother Rock. The two often Loop together, but not always.

X

Anchor of the X series section of the Megaverse as well as classified as a normal Looper in the Zero section. Officially online as of the tenth loopset of the Mega Loops.

  • Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: He and Zero drove off Cthulhu one time, being immune to his maddening presence.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: As "Model X", a brainwashed minion of the thing that caused the Crash.
  • Hero Killer: Model X permanently destroyed several Robot Masters.
  • It's Personal: In his first failed attempt, X tries to kill Dr. Wily for causing Sigma's fall from grace, and everything that followed, because he considered the Reploids his children.

Zero (DWN-∞)

Anchor of the Zero series section of the Megaverse as well as classified as a normal looper for the X section (same individual). Officially online as of the tenth loopset of the Mega Loops.

  • Early-Bird Cameo: Same as X.
  • Gender Bender: Spent fifty Loops in a row as a fembot. Confusion ensued on the fifty-first, when he went back to being a guy.
  • Hero Killer: As "Model Z".
  • Tempting Fate: Telling Yggdrasil it wasn't going to annoy him for a Loop was a stupendously bad idea.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: Seems to have gone back to his more carefree personality from the first three X Games. Getting Iris back probably helped.

Lan Hikari

Anchor of the Battle Network section of the Megaverse. Currently in the middle of his Loop start-up.

Hub Hikari (MegaMan.EXE)

Lan's twin brother and Co-Anchor, as well as the Mega Man of their time period. Currently in the middle of his Loop start-up.

Volnutt

Anchor of the Legends section of the Megaverse, also known as MegaMan Trigger.

  • The Ghost: Confirmed as a Looper per Word Of God, has yet to actually appear.

Data

Co-Anchor of the Legends section of the Megaverse.
  • The Ghost: Confirmed as a Looper per Word Of God, has yet to actually appear.

Geo Stelar

Anchor of the Starforce section of the Megaverse.
  • The Ghost: Confirmed as a Looper per Word Of God, has yet to actually appear.

Omegas-Xis

Co-Anchor of the Starforce section of the Megaverse.
  • The Ghost: Confirmed as a Looper per Word Of God, has yet to actually appear.

    Middle Earth (The Silmarillion, The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings) 

Gandalf / Olorin / Mithrandir

  • Ring of Power: In addition to Narya (of which he has several dozen copies collected from baseline loops), he has acquired a Blue Lantern ring.
  • The Older Immortal: When he began Looping, he was already older than his universe. Of course, that's still rather young by looper standards. When Applejack loops into Middle Earth, she's surprised that he defers to her wisdom. While as an Anchor he'll eventually become far older than her, at that point she's the elder.

     Metroid 

Samus Aran

  • Mama Bear: Hurt the Baby Metroid and Samus will hurt you.
  • "No. Just… No" Reaction: Has this reaction when she realizes that, due to the loop having the humans and Space Pirates swap roles, all humans are running around the galaxy naked.
  • Not So Above It All: Silently Squees when Kirby starts purring like a cat from being pet.

     Mother/EarthBound 

Ninten

Anchor of the original 'Mother' universe, also known as 'EarthBound Beginnings'.

Ness

Anchor of the 'Mother 2' universe.

Lucas

Anchor of the 'Mother 3' universe.

    My Life As A Teenage Robot 

XJ-9/Jenny Wakeman

Loopers:

    Godzilla 

Junior

Son of Godzilla from the Heisei film series. Has something of an ongoing rivalry with the non-Looping kaiju Gabara.

Godzilla (1954)/Mecha-Godzilla

The title character of the original film.

     Gundamverses 

Professor Gerbera/Madnug

  • Badass Bookworm: As in Baseline, generally takes care of business using science (though Nanohaverse magic is certainly not unheard of for him).
  • The Dog Bites Back: Quite happy to dispose of General Zeong all by himself once gaining enough power from looping.
  • Do Not Call Me "Paul": He prefers being called Gerbera, and is known by that outside of his own loop for the most part. Only close family get to call him Madnug, though he'll grumble about it if it's done in public.
  • Hates Being Alone: Specifically, this is being alone in a loop without other Loopers. He can handle it for a few loops in a row, but if Yggdrasil is feeling sadistic or glitching... well, bad things tend to happen.
  • Necessarily Evil: A bit more willing to do what has to be done when compared to the other Loopers from his 'verse.
  • Papa Wolf: Becomes this eventually to his subordinates... as well as the Numbers and Vivio from Nanoha Takamachi's baseline.
  • Person of Mass Destruction: Yes, most Loopers qualify, but given he tends to replace mad scientists and is generally kitted to take out mecha-gods, he's not someone you want to annoy.
  • Reformed, but Not Tamed: He's still a pretty nasty piece of work, in spite of recognizing that his brother/the SDG had nothing to do with his warp gate accident.
  • Screw Destiny: Most likely to take his home loop Off the Rails.
  • Training from Hell: Grahf of the Xenogears loop is a very harsh teacher, though nothing else would've really gotten through to Gerbera at the time...
  • Troll: Probably the worst one out of his loop, given how he'll always retaliate in kind if he gets trolled himself.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: With Bakunetsumaru; neither is immune to the other's snark, and with the amount of sparring they do some might think they were actually bitter rivals, but scuffling with each other is how they bond.

Shute

  • Badass Normal: While there are certainly powers he likes to hang onto, he generally doesn't need them unless he's outside his home loop.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: He's not quite as bad as Captain with this, but yeah, don't go hurting anyone he cares about.
  • Big Brother Mentor: He already was one for Captain and Genkimaru, but he's got a bit of this going for Gerbera as well now that he's looping.
  • Incorruptible Pure Pureness: A little bit tarnished due to looping, but Shute generally hangs onto this...
  • Precision F-Strike: ...though even he will occasionally drop an F-bomb when the situation requires it.

     How to Train Your Dragon 

General

  • Bond Creatures: Not naturally, but by now every single human-dragon pair that has started looping has cycled through Pern.
  • Extra-Dimensional Shortcut: Similarly, Between jumps have become a fixture. This is used for getting around, both for serious purposes and pranks.

     Kirby 

Meta Knight

King Dedede

Adeleine

Bandanna Waddle Dee

Marx

  • The Gadfly
  • The Prankster: Marx loves pulling pranks on the other loopers.
  • Troll: Needless to say, Marx loves messing with the other loopers whenever he can.
  • Reformed, but Not Tamed: Firmly on Kirby's side and respects him and his power level, but is also the Looper most willing to cause trouble.
  • Super Mode: Now has control over his Marx Soul form.

Susie

  • Brutal Honesty: During the Crisis, when Bandanna Dee brings up having to kill Hyness, but is trying to avoid saying the reason, Susie says he (Hyness) is "Completely Mental."
  • Everyone Has Standards: She's still very much in things for the money, but when it comes to actually doing business, she will always ensure that her products are safe for use and will never comprise on safety for her workers or customers, as a fused loop with Five Nights at Freddy's revealed.
  • Reformed, but Not Tamed: Still highly business oriented but is willing to stop mechanizing planets and behave.
  • Set Right What Once Went Wrong: Has made it a goal to save Haltmann any time she is Awake.

Tiff

  • Lampshade Hanging: Points out that sound shouldn't be able to hear sounds from across space. The others tell her Kirby doesn't care about logic anymore.
  • Naïve Newcomer: The other loopers see her as one.

Nightmare

This is anime version of Nightmare.
  • Card-Carrying Villain: He claims that no matter what, Kirby will never be able to reform or befriend him because he is evil. Kirby says otherwise.
  • The Chessmaster: What he thinks of himself as.
  • Evil Cannot Comprehend Good:
    • Insists that he does not want friendship in anyway, despite Marx (who is a reformed villain and knows what he is talking about) telling him that it will make his life better and prevent him from becoming an MLE.
    • While it's completely possible that he only implied it to screw with her, Nightmare seems to be under the idea that Susie purposely killed Haltmann in a bid to steal power, not realizing that while she did try to steal Star Dream, it was an attempt to get Haltmann to remember her, not because she was after the company and that his death was complete accident on her part.
  • "Not So Different" Remark: He points out that he and Susie are not as different as she would like to pretend. She's pretty rattled by it.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: Convinced that he will soon be able to pull the strings of loopers as he sees fit. Most of the other loopers from his branch don't even take him seriously.
  • Smug Snake

Customer Service

    Jurassic Park (and World) 

Roxanne "Roxy" Hammond

The Tyrannosaurus rex from the original film, her coding was tampered with by Artemis in order to create another Looping dinosaur, allowing her to steadily gain sapience over the course of many loops. After constantly looping into Jurassic World, she finally met another Looper and began to find her place in the Loops. While initially referred to as "Rexy" in the films, the Looping incarnation has adapted the name "Roxy".

  • Ace Pilot: Fell in love with the idea of flying during a Calvin & Hobbes Loop. And she can do it as both a human and a T-rex.
  • Berserk Button: She absolutely hates the song Roxanne by The Police. Playing or singing it near her really, really ticks her off.
  • Breath Weapon: She can breathe fire from her Pokémon and Digimon Loops, and has nuclear breath from her time as Zilla.
  • Dinosaurs Are Dragons: She's gained dragon abilities from looping into Pokémon (as Reshiram) and Digimon (as Agumon).
  • Interspecies Adoption: She was eventually adopted by the Looping John Hammond as his daughter, since he is the "father" of Jurassic Park. She's also become a mother figure for several Loopers.
  • Interspecies Friendship: Almost any friendship with other Loopers is this. Of particular note is her relationship with her Anchor, Alan Grant, which began as extremely antagonistic (since he refused to believe she was anything more than a vicious carnivore), but eventually developed into respect and friendship.
  • Interspecies Romance: Developed one with Godzilla, the first Looper she met outside of Jurassic Park when she visited his Loop, Replacing Zilla.

John Hammond

Creator of Jurassic Park and adoptive father of Roxanne "Roxy" Hammond.

Ian Malcolm

A mathematician at the Santa Fe Institute who specializes in chaos theory. He was one of two Anchor candidates for Jurassic Park, but was passed over in favor of Alan Grant.

  • Running Gag: He has decided to improve the Ping. Word of God says he won't succeed. His failures have a variety of effects, many of them embarrassing, annoying or otherwise.

    Madokaverse 

Homura Akemi

  • Back from the Dead: After her Loop was fully restored.
  • Did You Just Romance Cthulhu?: Inverted; she apparently became romantically involved with Madoka before the latter became an Admin. After the branch was restored, the two seem to have continued the romance (which is made problematic due to the fact that in-Loop Madoka can't Loop and Admin Madoka is often too busy to show up every time Homura's Awake).
  • Long-Distance Relationship: She's extremely upset Madoka can't see her as much anymore due to her duties as an Admin, but hasn't let it affect her loyalty or love for her.
  • Shell-Shocked Veteran: Seems to consider herself one. However, it's heavily implied that spending time with Madoka (before her Ascension), Mami, Sayaka, and Kyoko has helped her mellow out a great deal.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: She's become more open over the Loops. Having friends that don't die very easily, know her secrets, and can remember past her "Groundhog Day" Loop probably helped.
  • Wrong Context Magic: Sort of - she Looped into MLP as a unicorn during her time as a Data Ghost, and can use magic from there through her hands (most MLP unicorns use their magic through their horns).

Mami Tomoe

Kyoko Sakura

Hitomi Shizuki

Sayaka and Madoka's friend before they became magical girls, and the first looper after the Restoration.
  • I Let Gwen Stacy Die: She blames herself for Sayaka's death in baseline.
  • Mundane Utility: During a Mikasa glitch, she decided... to practice piano duets with her duplicate.
  • The Team Normal: Hasn't made an official contract, meaning she hasn't officially become a magical girl. Considering the consequences of contracting, it's probably for the best.

Nagisa Momoe

The only other known post-Restoration looper.

     Mass Effect 

Sovereign

Managed to gain Looping status when the admin (Ares) literally decided "why not?" Spent some time as a near-MLE.

  • Heel–Face Turn: After a very long time of discovering that turning organic beings into Reapers isn't possible while the Loops are occurring, (and a brief Villainous BSoD that nearly made it Ascend and destroy the Mass Effect Loops), Sovereign decided to just abandon the whole Reaper thing completely. It's not quite a true hero, but it's not actively trying to kill Shepard and co anymore.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Killed Shepard on its first Loop. An instant Eiken Loop followed. Needless to say, Sovereign isn't trying to kill Shepard anymore. Indoctrination, however, is fine by it.
  • Oh, Crap!: It's utterly terrified of Pinkie Pie.
  • Once Done, Never Forgotten: Apparently had a brief "Frat boy" phase that only showed up in a few Loops, but it's not something that anyone's forgotten.

Garrus

A turian sharpshooter, and Shepard's Number Two in the Loops.

  • Gun Nut: Towards some of the more impressive guns he's collected over the Loops.
  • Must Have Caffeine: He even goes as far as to recreate a 21st century coffee machine.

Legion

A geth platform containing 1183 different geth runtimes.
  • Literal Split Personality: There are 1183 different runtimes carried in Legion. They're not Soul-Bound, so they all Loop separately from each other.

Tali'Zorah

A quarian engineer, and daughter of one of the Admiralty Board.

  • Playful Hacker: Once hacked Sovereign when it was unAwake. And then, she took it to the Citadel... for a flight show.

Jeff "Joker" Moreau

The handicapped pilot of the SR-Normandy, both the second and first. Born with a disorder that causes very brittle bones, Joker very rarely leaves the cockpit.

Wrex

One of the best combatants in the Mass Effect Loop after Shepard themselves, and in most Loops, the leader of the krogan.

Mordin

Salarian. Scientist. Looper.

  • Terse Talker: No time full sentences. Get straight to point.

Grunt

A genetically engineered krogan, recruited by Shepard as an ally.

Liara T'soni.

Ashley Williams

A rank-and-file soldier who stood out due to her family's bad reputation and one of Shepard's older crew members.

Kaiden Alenko

One of the early biotics of humanity, and after Shepard themselves, one of their stronger biotics.

EDI

Resident AI of the Normandy SR-2, and later on member of Shepard's ground team, and Joker's partner.

Kasumi Goto

The best thief in the galaxy, but not the most famous. Just how she likes it.

  • Stealth Expert: Apparently has been Looping for a while, but has made an effort to make sure only people from Mass Effect know that.

    Marvel Comics 

Captain America / Steven Rodgers

The First Avenger, Star Spangled Man and the Soul of the Marvel Heroes

  • Big Good: One of several for Marvel's heroes, and probably the biggest.

Adam Warlock

Genetically perfect human being and founding member of the modern-day Guardians of the Galaxy. Has a nasty evil version called the Magus.

Susan Storm-Richards / The Invisible Woman / Girl

The heart of the Fantastic Four.

Nicholas 'Nick' Fury

Super spy and head of S.H.I.E.L.D. Utter jerk, and badass.
  • Crazy-Prepared: Similary to Batman, he devises plans to deal with the 07 and other loopers going rogue.
  • Race Lift: Alternates between the white 616 Nick Fury and the black Ultimate and Cinematic Fury

Jennifer Walters / She-Hulk

Hulk's cousin, given similar abilities to his by blood transfusion. Has much better luck and control over them though.

Mary Jane Parker (Nee Watson)

Peter Parker's wife, girlfriend, girl-next-door, and the girl he usually rescues from distress.
  • Adaptational Badass: Has taken up the mantle of Black Cat on at least two occasions.

  • Morality Pet: He's Bowser's, as discovered when Black Hat implied that he was going to take Junior out of the picture in order to make Bowser a more effective villain. Bowser went on a rampage to the point where the other loopers were worried it would result in a loop crash.

Kamek

Bowser's right hand man and former babysitter
  • Badly Battered Babysitter: During the Crisis, due to Bowser being busy in the Paper universe, Kamek was left in charge of the Koopalings and Bowser Junior, who all were mistakenly given coffee. Due to his attempts at controlling them, Kamek ends up covered in paint, exhausted and pretty eager to use the Crisis to escape the madness.

Rosalina

  • Mama Bear: Don't hurt the lumas in front of her. Just don't.

Vivian

Variant Looper Activated during the Crisis.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: Vivian is still just as sweet as she was in Baseline. However, she has been training with Meta Knight and is not afraid to get her hands dirty if she needs too.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: Arguably fits this even better then she did before, as in addition to her shadow like appearance, she now wields a scythe and has a dark suit of armor, yet still remains a hero and overall Nice Girl.
  • Happily Adopted: By Meta Knight.
  • I Can't Believe I'm Saying This: Said word for word when she comments that, in a loop pitting her, Mario and the other partners against Choo-Choo Charles rather than the Smorg, admits she misses the latter monster.
  • Magic Knight: While she does have knight training from Meta Knight, she still uses her magic quite a bit when fighting.
  • Not So Above It All: While she's normally the voice of reason to her brother, Duncan, she had no problems setting Chris's hair on fire when he made one too many jokes about the two of them possibly having a romantic interest in each other (Long story short, it was the wedding challenge during World Tour and they got paired up). She also joins Duncan in shoving him into Niagara Falls after he makes another one.
  • Sinister Scythe: Averted. While she is a scythe wielder, she is a Nice Girl.

Sir Grodus

    Megaverse 

Blues Light (DLN-000)

The older brother and prototype of the joint Anchors of his Loop.
  • Adapted Out: Due to the events of the Loops, Blues never became Break Man.
  • Break the Badass: His failed Loops were traumatic.
  • Cool Shades
  • Demonic Possession: From the thing that caused the Crash. And it's been there for a long while. However, it's only after an incident that it gained the power to do more than thrown bad memories at him.
  • Dimensional Traveler: Due to some problems getting the Megaverse online, Blues's 'home reality indicator' was damaged. As a result, he ends up Looping more into other universes than he does into the Megaverse.
  • Freudian Excuse: The reason he won't go back to his "father" just yet. In one of the failed Loops he actually did just that. Unfortunately in that Loop Dr. Light had been replaced or taken over by... something which promptly strapped him down to a table and killed him. Even after everything that's happened, including said entity apparently being annihilated out of time and space, Blues is still reluctant to talk to his father because of this.
  • Sealed Evil in a Can: Blues is the can, with help from his magically charmed scarf and shades.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: Much earlier (technically speaking) than his canon counterpart.

Dr. Light

The scientist who created Rock, Roll, and Blues as well as numerous other robots. Dr. Light has a 'Dreaming bug' in his code that allows for random access to memories of Loops where he was not Awake. Even when he is also not Awake.
  • Badass Normal: Has a truly brilliant and amazing set of skills... that he collected in his baseline.
  • Evil Laugh: In one Loop, where he was in Wily's place and decided to roll with it, he had to remember to do the evil laugh.

Sniper Joe

One of Yggdrasil's failed attempt to start Bass Wily looping accidentally hit an unknown soul in the damaged depths of the Megaverse that overlapped enough with the nature of the otherwise soulless Joe series that one began looping.

Quint

An evil version of Rock from the future, reprogrammed by Wily and sent back to attack "himself". Started Looping after the Mega Sonic Loop

    Middle Earth (The Silmarillion, The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings) 

Bilbo Baggins

A Hobbit, and very much reluctant adventurer
  • Famed In-Story: Has no idea where his reputation as a dragon-slayer came from, since he's only ever dealt with one dragon, and isn't usually the one who lands the killing blow.

Smaug

Also known as the Terrible, the Golden, Chiefest of Calamities. Looping hasn't dulled his ego, or the threat he poses.
  • Badass Boast: His introduction to the MLP Loops is his list of all the things he's burnt.
    I am without equal! My armour is as battle steel, my teeth are swords without peer, my claws like manifold diamonds, my wings bear terror aloft with the force of a tornado, the shock of my tail cuts all defence, and my breath the ruin of a nation! I have burned Napoleon's Europe and slain five hundred dragons in the doing. I alone spread fire and destruction across Derain, Sagene and Roche, with neither the puling anchor Kailar nor his pet Storm able to stop me! Neverwinter was but blown ash by the time I left it. I have incinerated Corellia in a day and a night, defeated the mightiest battleships of the Imperium of Man, and destroyed the Volturi and all their kin!
  • Bond Creature: For Bilbo, courtesy of a Pern Loop. They kept the telepathic link.
  • Break the Badass: Sombra's defences showed him a vision of his worst nightmare, utterly alone on all the riches in the world, and it horrified him.
  • Heel–Face Turn: Gradually. Smaug has decided he's no longer interested in gaining gold or wealth, or being the last dragon standing.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: He was the delivery system for the Volturi.
  • Nigh-Invulnerability
  • Our Dragons Are Different
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: Once got himself elected mayor of Laketown, with Bard as deputy mayor, and proved quite good at it.
  • Smug Super: He's an egotistical ass, sure, but he can back it up. He can burn planets in a day.
  • The Social Darwinist: By the time he reached Equestria, it was his belief that as the strongest being around, he had the right to take what he wished. He eventually got over it.

Claus

Lucas's older twin brother
