The Light's Council
Vandal Savage
Voiced by: LordJazor
- Abusive Parents: To Scandal. It's clear he can't understand Sportsmaster's affection for his own daughters, and his idea of "parenting" involves killing Scandal's girlfriend.
- Been There, Shaped History: He was the first metahuman, claims to have invented the wheel, and was somehow present at most of the Justice League's origin stories.
- Big Bad: Even before becoming the leader of the Light, he's had his fingers in the pies of practically every villain in the series.
- My Greatest Failure: Allowing the rise of superheroes to happen, because he was there when they originated, and he could've stopped them before they became a problem.
Lex Luthor
Voiced by: LordJazor
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: He puts on a friendly, personable act in public that he absolutely loathes having to do. If someone gets under his nerves, he drops this and reveals his true egomaniacal nature with a Badass Boast.
- President Evil: Though he loses the election to Superman on an Electoral College-based technicality, Superman steps down and allows Luthor to become president. Which is honestly for the better, as Luthor is capable of Pragmatic Villainy and doesn't have Alfred pulling his strings.
- Villain with Good Publicity: Subverted. The public acknowledges him as a lying criminal, and it's only the favors he does for corrupt politicians that allow him to keep his power over them.
Klarion the Witch Boy
Voiced by: HawkAbridging
- Ax-Crazy: A talkative, cannibalistic loon with some... colorful threats to go along with his powerful magic.
- I'm a Humanitarian: And his favorite food is gingers, like Wally.
Queen Bee
Voiced by: Eilemonty
- Brief Accent Imitation: Played for drama. She taunts M'gann with both her own Francophile accent and M'gann's own Valley Girl accent without changing her stone-faced expression.
- French Jerk: The act she puts on in public is that of a Large Ham Francophile.
- Obfuscating Stupidity: The Team can't believe that Queen Bee is getting away with her crimes when they first hear her voice. Even the rest of the Light (except Brain) roll their eyes when she's around. M'gann finds out the hard way that Queen Bee is far more clever, and therefore dangerous, than she comes off at first.
The Brain
Voiced by: Starbeastrave
- Epileptic Flashing Lights: Uses these to stun the Team, though it helps that he was also showing images of intimate moments between himself and Mallah.
- Expy: Of Tommy Wiseau in The Room (2003).
- Interspecies Romance: With Mallah, a male gorilla.
- Non Sequitur: Speaks entirely in these. Even among the Light, only Queen Bee can keep up with him.
Deathstroke (Slade Wilson)
Voiced by: LordJazor
- Addiction-Powered: He fights by getting doped up on cocaine. Apparently, it helps him deal with the pain.
- Expy: Of Macho Man Randy Savage.
- Large Ham: He normally acts like a canonical version of Slade Wilson would, but he's also addicted to cocaine. And when he gets high, he starts talking like Randy Savage.
- Sailor's Ponytail: After Damien defeats him, he's forced to grow the Ponytail of Shame. He's not happy about it.
Legion of Doom
Metallo (John Corben)
Voiced by: Throkk Grungeshield
- Undignified Death: As John Corben, he tried to declare war on Canada after one of Superman's rants about the Canadians. He got mauled by a wild moose before crossing the border and then got his heart eaten by grizzly bears that were scared off by a squirrel.
El Bane
Voiced by: Leik777
- Addiction-Powered: Venom, as per usual. What's unusual is that he speaks with the Tom Hardy Bane voice when he muscles up.
- Bond Villain Stupidity: Multiple times.
- He starts monologuing during his fight with the Team, and ends up paying for it.
- The Legion of Doom's plan falls apart when Bane expected Bruce to give up and die after being buried alive in his parent's grave. Spoiler alert: he didn't.
- Leaving an obvious weakspot in the form of a long, easily severable Venom tube.
- Psychic Static: When Miss Martian tries to read his mind, all she gets is a soccer game in Spanish, complete with "¡GOOOOOOOOOOOOL!"
- Spell My Name with a "The": It's El Bane, thank you very much.
Cheetah (Barbara Ann Minerva)
Voiced by: Kendra Murray
- Only Sane Man: To Wonder Woman, who wants her pelt to make a coat and has also thought about eating her.
Mirror Master (Sam Scudder)
Voiced by: Omahdon
- Driven to Villainy: He tried to have an honest job at some point, but it didn't work out for him. Being a supervillain actually pays the bills better.
- Even Evil Has Standards: He's unnerved by the trap Batman created to take out the Flash, which puts an old woman in danger to trick the Flash into getting himself killed.
- Villain Has a Point: He makes legitimate criticisms of the society he lives in, which is undermined by the fact that he uses it as an excuse to be a criminal.
Star Sapphire (Carol Ferris)
Voiced by: Tallest Silver
- French Jerk: She has a near-incomprehensible accent and a major sadistic streak.
- Proud Beauty: Shamelessly promotes herself as "the most beautiful and bootylicious Star Sapphire".
Ma'alefa'ak J'onnz
Injustice League
The Joker
Voiced by: LordJazor
- Crazy Jealous Guy: He hates it when people touch his stuff, whether it be Batman or Harley.
- Domestic Abuse: He pulls no punches on what his relationship with Harley is like:Joker: Now there's the girl I mentally abused into loving me!
- The Dreaded: To Arkham's staff, who realize they're already dead the moment they hear him laughing.
- Joker Immunity: Played with. He has, in fact, died at least three times over the course of the series, but his deal with the League of Shadows prevents it from sticking.
- Knight of Cerebus: Joker stands out as one of the few characters unchanged and unexaggerated by the nature of The Abridged Series. If he shows up, expect his antics to be funny until they can't be played for laughs anymore.
- The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: Towards Batman. It even extends to his jokes, as he gets annoyed when Deadshot laughs at one of them because he's not Batman.
Black Adam
Voiced by: Malcom X Ray
- The Comically Serious: He's a stoic villain who doesn't play around, but he also has to put up with the quirks of the heroes he's fighting or the villains he's teamed up with.
- No-Nonsense Nemesis: Unlike most villains in the series, Black Adam doesn't bother with banter, preferring to skip to the part where he's forced the heroes to surrender.
Poison Ivy
Voiced by: Tallest Silver
- Can't Take Criticism: While she normally acts like a smug Femme Fatale, mocking her and avoiding her attacks causes her to lose her composure.
Count Vertigo
Voiced by: LordJazor
- All Germans Are Nazis: Defied. Kid Flash believes that Vertigo being German and evil means he's a Nazi, causing a lull in the battle where Vertigo explains otherwise.
Wotan
Voiced by: Sehanort
- Everyone Went to School Together: He and Nabu attended magic school together. Wotan does not have fond memories of the time, and Nabu bringing it up causes him to nearly cry.
Minions
Lord Kobra (Jeffery Brr)
Voiced by: LordJazor
- Snark-to-Snark Combat: Engages in this with Robin, and he holds the advantage for most of it.
- Would Hurt a Child: Robin annoying him one too many times causes him to decide to revoke his rule of not killing children.
Dr. Anthony Ivo
Voiced by: LordJazor
- Camp Gay: The accent, the lisp, constantly worried about his appearance, and flirting with male heroes... it's safe to say that he is.
- Effeminate Misogynistic Guy: He appreciates the male heroes far more than the female ones. The girls of the Team have to put up with some creative insults if they talk to him.
- Too Much Information: When Zatanna gets him to revel Morrow's location, Ivo starts spilling the details of their past relationship along with it.
- Tsundere: He claims to look down on Morrow, but still uses an old pet name when actually talking to him.
Amazo # 1 and # 2
Voiced by: Recycled clips from Mortal Kombat and LordJazor
- Foil: To each other. Amazo #1 speaks in Mortal Kombat Robo Speak and doesn't mess around, doing his damnedest to kill Batman and Nightwing. Amazo #2 speaks with Dr. Ivo's Camp Gay lisp and toys around around with the Team during their fight, using taunts and sarcasm over lethal force.
The Riddler (Edward Nygma)
Voiced by: LordJazor
- Insufferable Genius: Like Batman does, he makes sure everyone knows he's the smartest person in the room. Unlike Batman, he can't always intimidate people into recognizing it.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Pun not intended, he stole a data file containing all of Batman's contingency plans for the rest of the Justice League, which was then retrieved by the Suicide Squad and given to Vandal Savage, leading to Justice League Doom Abridged.
- Verbal Tic: Question: What does the Riddler say at the beginning of his inquiries?
Mr. Freeze (Victor Fries)
Voiced by: LordJazor
- Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: There's no mention of Nora in this series. Instead, Freeze is motivated by his pet cat that got run over by a truck.
Ocean Master (Orm)
Voiced by: LordJazor
- Anti-Villain: After he gets recruited into the Light and later released from jail, Orm is won over by Arthur's kindness and spends his time in Atlantis feeling guilty about being The Mole.
- Butt-Monkey: His abusive mother ruined his self-esteem and reputation, so nobody in Atlantis or the Light has any respect for him.
- Heel–Face Turn: During Manta's attempt to steal Starro, Orm admits his role in the Light's plan and helps the Atlanteans repel the invasion.
- Only Friend: Arthur is the first person to not treat him like crap.
Black Manta (David Hyde)
Voiced by: Malcom X Ray
- Auto-Tune: His helmet auto-tunes his voice, making him sound goofier than he has any right to be.
- Evil Sounds Deep: As David Hyde, his voice is deep and intimidating, cementing him as a credible threat. As Black Manta, however...
- Luke, I Am Your Father: Reveals this to Kaldur... who already knows due to Fate's magic showing him the future. Though Kaldur doesn't let him know about this.
Mercy Graves
Voiced by: RedMiel, Kendra Murray
- Robot Girl: A robotic bodyguard shaped like a beautiful woman. And Luthor makes sure that the Korean governments want one of their own.
Sportsmaster (Lawrence Crock)
Voiced by: LordJazor
- Adaptational Heroism: He's still a violent thug, but this version of him cares about his ex-wife, daughters, and granddaughter.
- Appeal to Obscurity: Does this with himself. Despite being a loud and dangerous assassin, none of the Team knows who he is at the beginning of the series, which Sportsmaster justifies as "No witnesses."
- Boyfriend-Blocking Dad: If there's one thing he can't stand, it's how both of his daughters got involved with "BLOODY GINGERS!"
- Large Ham: It's a wonder how he wasn't well-known at the start of the series, considering his accomplishments and lack of an indoor voice.
- Truer to the Text: His more positive relationships with his wife and daughters is more accurate to classic versions of Sportsmaster, whereas the show's version is an expy of Slade's family.
Psimon
Voiced by: LordJazor
- Large Ham: His voice is unnecessarily loud, and because he can communicate telepathically, there's no avoiding it.
- Motor Mouth: He talks much too fast for other people to keep up.
Professor T.O. Morrow
Voiced by: LordJazor
- Bad Boss: He'd find it hilarious if Miss Martian had actually crushed Stikk with a boulder, if only to f**k with the Team.
- Straight Gay: In contrast to the Camp Gay Ivo.
- Tsundere: He claims to look down on Ivo, but his ringtone for him is "All Out of Love" by Air Supply. Clearly, someone's not over their past relationship as he'd like to be...
Icicle Sr.
Voiced by: Starbeastrave
Icicle Jr.
Voiced by: Demongrocerystore
- Affably Evil: Shamelessly admits that he's learned nothing from prison, but he's friendly enough to get along with an undercover Superboy.
- Even Evil Has Standards: He has no qualms about blowing up a base full of children, but he won't allow his new friend to get involved with Nazis.
