!Henchmen

[[folder:Damselfly]]
!!Dana Vandergast AKA Damselfly

A former research scientist involuntarily turned into a supervillain by Tom Terror. She is now stuck with a horrifying reputation and is forced to work for supervillains.

* BeenThereShapedHistory: [[spoiler: In this reality, led the Third Reich after Hitler was taken down by Ultragod.]]

* BoobsOfSteel: Is quite...uh, blessed. Played with as Gabrielle mentions superheroes use illusion spells to appear more attractive than they are. Apparently, she's still quite lovely without them, though.

* {{Expy}}: Has elements of Barbara Gordon and the Huntress. [[spoiler:Later becomes one for Selene from Film/{{Underworld}}. Also, incorporates elements of Lucita from ''TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade.'']]

* HandsomeLech: Is a somewhat dorky kind of guy who has been in relationships with an {{Expy}} of ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}, an {{Expy}} of ComicBook/HarleyQuinn, and [[spoiler:an {{Expy}} of Selene from ''Film/{{Underworld}}'']]. Perhaps justified as he's apparently very handsome in-universe, devoted, and dorky.

* NiceHat: Her hat that is a reference to Carmen Sandiego in-universe (she grew up on the games).

* CoolHat: Her hat that is a reference to Carmen Sandiego in-universe (she grew up on the games).

!Henchmen

[[folder:Damselfly]]
!!Dana Vandergast AKA Damselfly

A former research scientist involuntarily turned into a supervillain by Tom Terror. She is now stuck with a horrifying reputation and is forced to work for supervillains.

* AnimalMotifs: Has these for a Damselfly.
* BeleagueredAssistant: In a humorous bit of role-reversal, former henchwench Cindy dragoons a fellow supervillain, Dana Vandergast AKA Damselfly, into being her sidekick. Dana is an {{Antivillain}} who just wants to get out of supervillainy but bullied into being part of a massive heist.
* CowardlyLion: Damselfly would clearly rather not be engaging in violence, and is a mainly brought onboard the team because her knowledge of shrinking science is the only way it'd be possible to actually steal Dragon King's entire horde, yet whenever a fight breaks out she pitches in, despite her shrinking powers being extremely well suited to finding someplace to hide and hoping not to be noticed.
* CutLexLuthorACheck: Damselfly is interested in using her research into shrinking things as a way to cure cancer and make money legitimately. Sadly for her, Nikki Tesla is determined to see trope played straight and use it to turn people into her minions.
* TheFundamentalist: Dana had to deal with this from her parents as neither of them were fond of her status as a gay woman or super scientist.
* GenreBlindness: Damselfly despite being a somewhat experienced supervillainess is repeatedly flabbergasted by the comicbook shenanigans that working with Cindy inevitably involves. Though to her credit this allows her to [[TooDumbToFool correctly describe]] [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Merciless with "He's the guy who acts like the Hamburglar ]][[TheDreaded and has killed more people than some wars"]] when numerous heroes and villains alike have severely underestimated him.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: The star of ''Tales of Capes and Cowls'' short story, "Escape from Ironhyde"
* IncredibleShrinkingMan: Her powers are similar to that of Ant-Man or the Wasp.
* ShrinkRay: Developed one of these in-universe. Is appalled that Gary's daughter, Leia, improves on it in moments.
* TrappedInVillainy: Damselfly is basically forced into working for supervillains due to the fact that there are few opportunities for legitimate work as a scientist after being forced to work for Tom Terror and now being labeled a Nazi supervillain (she's not). Nikki Tesla more or less uses her and discards her before Cindy dragoons her into participating in the heist.
* WantedAGenderConformingChild: Dana's parents (apparently conservative Mormons by the references made to Utah, Brigham Young University, and annoyance at polygamy jokes) did not approve of her interest in super sciences or lesbianism.

[[folder:Diabloman]]
!!Diabloman
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/diabloman.png]]

Diabloman used to one of the most feared and respected villains in the world before he started to suffer health problems from his black magic-related powers. Eventually reduced to henching for D-list supervillains, he eagerly takes up Gary's offer for better paying employment and more respect.

* AffablyEvil: Is friendly, kind, and seems far too nice of a man to have once been the most feared supervillain on the planet.
* ApocalypseCult: Was raised by one of these to be their TheChosenOne (or to protect his sister to be their AntiChrist. It's a big vague.
* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:A surprising revelation in ''Games.'' He joined Gary, in part, because he recognized he was essentially good. Also, to make up for killing his sister.]]
* BackFromTheDead: He's [[DeathIsCheap died twice in the books]] and Gary has been able to bring him back much easier [[spoiler: than Mandy.]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Was raised by a Satanic cult to destroy the world [[spoiler:and eventually killed his sister who rebelled against his cult.]]

* EvilParentsWantGoodKids: Is implied to be a deeply devoted father who is making no effort to raise his child to evil.
* FamedInStory: Was once the most terrifying supervillain in the world. He ''successfully'' destroyed the universe once, [[ResetButton but it didn't last.]]
* ForgivenButNotForgotten: Heroes will work with Diabloman to save the world but all of them hate his guts. Its problematic for Gabrielle especially as he killed a couple of her close friends.
* GeniusBruiser: Possesses low-grade superhuman strength and super-fighting prowess but is a philosophical and intelligent man.
* HeroKiller: Used to have this reputation in-universe but is known to have suffered massive VillainDecay. How bad was he? He ''destroyed the entire universe.'' [[NoodleIncident It got better.]]

[[folder:Red Riding Hood]]
!!Cindy Wakowski a.k.a Red Riding Hood
[[quoteright:282:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cindy_8.png]]

A former teenage prostitute who worked her way up from the gutter to becoming a doctor. However, the pressures of her past combined with financial needs resulted in her becoming a professional henchwench, err person. She and Gary were boyfriend and girlfriend in high school and remained best friends through college. Later, she became his first henchman and devoted partner.

* ActionMom: [[spoiler: She's the mother of Gary's daughter, Leia, conceived during the time Mandy was a soulless vampire.]]
* AmbiguouslyBi: Seems very attracted to Mandy and willing to have threesomes with women but her actual orientation is unclear. [[spoiler:Confirmed in ''The Secrets of Supervillainy.'']]
* TheAtoner: Tries to become one [[spoiler: after Mandy's HeroicSacrifice.]] It doesn't stick.
%%* AxCrazy: Cindy is literally this once she gets a fire ax.
%%* BigFun: Her role in the story along with being TheLancer.
* CherylBlossom: Has some hints of this with Gary inbetween his struggle to choose between Mandy and Gabrielle. [[spoiler: She wins in a most unconventional way.]]
%%* CoDragons: Eventually ascends to be this with Diabloman to Gary.
* CombatPragmatist: She's a skilled fighter but lacks superpowers. Instead she makes a point of looting or buying high-tech weapons to use against superpowered foes.
%%* CuteButPsycho: A good way of describing her.
* DarkActionGirl: Cindy is very possibly crazy but extremely dangerous, doubly so when she reveales she's been collecting supervillain gadgets.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: When Gary and she first meet, she's a teenage prostitute [[spoiler:and just witnessed him gun down the man who killed his brother.]] Cindy's reaction is to treat it as nothing particularly noteworthy [[spoiler:and loot the man's corpse before giving Gary advice on how to dispose of the weapon.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Almost as much as Gary.
* {{Expy}}: For Harley Quinn, though she lacks the psychotic fixation with a Joker-esque figure.
* FieryRedhead: Redheaded and psycho.
* ForgotFlandersCouldDoThat: Much like Harley Quinn, it's sometimes easy to forget Cindy is a trained surgeon and medical doctor.
* FriendsWithBenefits: She and Gary apparently had this relationship for years.
* GadgeteerGenius: Played with as she makes use of plenty but they're all stolen.
* GirlishPigtails: Has these in proper Harley Quinn fashion.
* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: Cindy occasionally makes references to a genuinely horrifying past with her mother but plays it off flippantly, like the fact ''she was sold by her mother to be a prostitute.''
* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: Cindy was one until Gary accidentally gave her the means to escape the life.
* HospitalHottie: Is both a Doctor as well as a supervillain. By ''Secrets'', [[spoiler:she's using the proceeds from her life of crime to run a free hospital.]]
* HyperspaceArsenal: By ''Games'', she's installed a BagOfHolding inside of a picnic basket, stuffing it full of various high-tech weapons and gadgets that she has either looted from dead villains or bought off the internet. Whenever she encounters an opponent outside of her [[BadassNormal weight class]], she'll produce some random weapon and [[CombatPragmatist blast them with it.]]
* InsistentTerminology: Is a henchperson, not a henchwench.
* LackOfEmpathy: Like Gary, seems to suffer from this but lacks his other oddities.
* MsFanservice: Deliberately cultivates this role with a very revealing but functional outfit.
* PaidHarem: Alludes to this as part of her backstory. Apparently, many supervillains expect their attractive female minions to be this. Cindy joins Gary in part to get better treatment. [[spoiler: They end up hooking up anyway.]]
* PerkyFemaleMinion: Serves in this role to Merciless, though is far more cynical and sassy than typical examples of the trope.
* {{Polyamory}}: Would be happy to have this relationship with Gary and Mandy or Gary and Gabrielle. [[spoiler: She ends up getting her wish.]]
* PunchClockVillain: An almost literal one as she opens the series employed as a henchwoman to multiple supervillains in order to make ends meet.
* OddFriendship: Is much more supervillain-like than Gary but seems to be a good friend with Gabrielle a.k.a Ultragoddess without the excuse of a past romance.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Her stated motivation, though she seems to have some small loyalty to Gary.
* TookALevelInBadass: Becomes ''significantly'' more dangerous between books after stealing a number of other supervillain's gadgets. [[spoiler: Later becomes a werewolf.]]

A Japanese American hotel heiress who has the public identity as a party girl and the private identity as the heir to the Nightwalker's name (or one of them). She never quite gets the respect she feels she deserves but helps save the world a few times.

* ActionGirl: Is quite a bit tougher upon her second appearance.
* AscendedExtra: Goes from being a random kidnap victim to a heroine in her own right.
* BadBadActing: Pretends to be disabled by Gary in order to let him deal with an AssholeVictim. Gary is not amused by it or how transparent it is.
* BlackCloak: Just like Gary.
* CoolHouse: Actually grew up in a literal castle moved stone-by-stone to Falconcrest City.
* CreepyGood: Just look at her. Otherwise averted despite her background.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Was raised in a creepy ass mansion by an [[spoiler:evil cultist]] father after her mother disappeared. [[spoiler:Later, she discovers her father actually murdered her mother as part of a HumanSacrifice. Worse, her father is bonded to the cloak she wears and will be part of her for the rest of her life.]]
* DistaffCounterpart: Played with as she wants to be the new Nightwalker but Gary keeps calling her variants on the Nightwalker and his own name. She is less than pleased with this. May actually qualify as a GoodCounterpart and {{Foil}} since she's rich while Gary is poor, good while Gary is bad (if not evil), serious where he is joking, and gets along with Sunlight.
* EnemyMine: Considers Merciless and his company to be dangerous criminals but works with them to stop the [[ReligionOfEvil Brotherhood of Infamy]]. Gradually, their relationship warps into a FriendlyEnemy one.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Is operating in Falconcrest City during the ZombieApocalypse, working to save as many lives as possible.
* NoodleIncident: Is mentioned to have a sex tape out about her, which she claims was organized by her publicist. Combines with OldShame.

[[folder:Ultragod]]
!!Moses Anders a.k.a Ultragod

The most powerful superhero in the world and the founder of the Society of Superheroes. He is an astronomer empowered by an alien force sent by the Ultranians.

* BackFromTheDead: Ultragod came back from the dead after being killed by Merciful. He was implied to have been okay with dying due to his wife passing, though.

* ImaginationBasedSuperpower: The Ultra-Force allows him to create objects composed of energy, fire energy blasts, fly through space, and shields around people. It also makes him almost indestructible.
* KryptoniteFactor: In the substance known as Ultranite.
* OurPresidentsAreDifferent: After spending the entire series dealing with various Presidents who were corrupt at best, and supervillains at worst, in this novel Ultra God is the president. We don't see too much of his exact policies, but to his credit we don't see any references to Department of Supernatural Security or Variant Intelligence Collective Enforcement so presumably progress is being made.
* ScaryBlackMan: Did his best to oppose this perception of him but it was inevitable as an omnipotent African American in the 1930s.
* SupermanSubstitute: Ultragod is the resident equivalent to Superman. His powers more closely resemble Green Lanterns even if he uses them to mostly replicate the standard FlyingBrick power-set. He has a Supergirl equivalent in his daughter Ultragoddess, The Observatory as his Fortress of Solitude-esque base of operations, and a reporter wife named Polly Perkins. He's also African American, immortal, and a human astronomer empowered by aliens.
