  • Complete Monster:
    • General Anton Arkayn is a Soviet general who uses Supergirl and Stargirl as his pawns in his quest for power. Throwing people by the hundreds into concentration camps for the most petty of reasons, Arkayn has Supergirl and Stargirl lead assaults on enemy troops with orders to kill even surrendering soldiers, threatening the lives of everyone in the girls' village if they resist. After trying to have Supergirl and Stargirl annihilate an entire concentration camp of his prisoners when he decides to clean house, Arkayn responds to their refusal by invading their home village and taking their parents at gunpoint, promising to execute them unless the girls allow Arkayn to dissect them alive and use their biology to create a Super-Soldier army and take over the world.
    • Faora Hu-Ul is a Kryptonian revolutionary who lends her DNA to the birth of Kara Starikov. After being thwarted in taking her daughter from her other mothers, Faora spitefully has Krypton annihilated and goes to Earth to sow wars, devastation and mass death across the planet to make Kara lose faith in the world, including assisting the Nazis. When Kara refuses to join her, Faora tries to murder her and harvest her DNA, eventually changing herself into Doomsday to slaughter any in the world who stand between her and her "New Krypton".
    • Edel Nacht, or Brother Night, is a high ranking Nazi officer who worships the demons known as the Tenebrae. Sacrificing dozens, even his own men, to provide the Tenebrae a host while attempting to round up innocents for extermination camps, Edel Nacht sees himself ruling a new and "perfect" empire. To this end, he fuses the Tenebrae into one great Titan he controls, plotting to slaughter everyone in London, and then moving on to annihilate the rest of the world until the Nazis reign over the ashes.
    • The Joker's Daughter is an Evil Sorceress who forces others to be her students so she may leech off their power. Constantly abusing and trying to control Zatanna, the Joker's Daughter later seduces Killer Frost to her side and has her wipe out a village to give her Raven. Assisting the Nazis in their schemes while she harnesses the power of the dreaded King Beneath the Dark, the Joker's Daughter tries to murder her "daughters" if they grow too independent and steal the power of the chaos god, The Joker. Attempting to ravage and remake the world, she opts to finally try to kill her former students once they have grown useless to her.
    • Dr. Hugo Strange is a eugenicist obsessed with creating a "Master Race" of perfect individuals with whom he can replace humanity. Traveling the world and coercing men and women who fit his criteria into becoming his lab rats, Strange responds to any resistance by either murdering or ruining the lives of his intended targets, children included in his cruelty. Though failing in an attempt to turn Gotham City into a testing ground, Strange takes political prisoners from the Soviets and performs horrific experiments on them that turn them into howling monstrosities, who he later uses to massacre his enemies. Strange intends to commit genocide against the human race once his "perfect" army is completed, and even when his life is spared by Harley Quinn and Ivy, Strange repays them by trying to gun them down with a smile on his face.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: When Dawnstar was introduced to the series, she was heavily featured in a storyline involving the attempted internment of Japanese-American citizens following Pearl Harbor. During that storyline, Dawnstar discusses the cycle of people and races being victimized by those in power (referencing how her own ancestors were subjugated by colonizers) and being expected to simply forgive their tormentors even when said tormentors do nothing to earn forgiveness. Several years later, when Brian Michael Bendis took over as writer for Legion of Super-Heroes (2020), he included a new version of Dawnstar becoming attracted to Ultra Boy after Ultra Boy becomes leader of Rimbor and announces his plans to "civilize" his people. Specifically, Dawnstar expresses romantic attraction after Ultra Boy beats up several Rimborians who disagree with him.
  • LGBT Fanbase: Given the series has a female-centric cast, several of which are dating each other, the series is unsurprisingly quite popular amongst lesbians.
