The Justice Society of America

A precursor to the modern Justice League. While most have only appeared in flashbacks, a few show up in the present day.

Doctor Fate (Kent Nelson)

Voiced by Edward Asner

• Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: He'll remain within Fate's mask until a proper replacement for him is found. Though as of "Misplaced", Nabu has released him to the afterlife.
• Blue Eyes
• Cool Helmet
• Cool Old Guy
• Death by Adaptation
• Old Superhero
• Order Versus Chaos: The good doctor works for the Lords of Order.
• Shipper on Deck: He seems to think Wally and Artemis would make a great couple, too bad they hate each other.
  • He seems to be saying this is why it would work, as his own wife Inza apparently never let him get away with anything.

The Flash I (Jay Garrick)

• Brown Eyes

• Old Superhero: The original Flash, retired.
• Super Speed

Green Lantern (Alan Scott)

• Imagination-Based Superpower

• Bishonen
• Childhood Friend Romance
• Elemental Powers
• Everything's Better with Spinning: Has the power to summon "the Tempest", which manifests as a powerful whirlpool.
• Functional Magic
• Purple Eyes
• What Could Have Been: Discussed in-universe. Garth could easily have been the team's Aqualad like he is in many other iterations of the DC universe.

Queen Mera

• Bare Your Midriff
• Elemental Powers
• Functional Magic
• Green Eyed Red Head
• Happily Married

• Shaping Your Attacks: Crafts water constructs in the shape of sea creatures, such as massive Combat Tentacles.

Aquagirl (Tula)

Voiced by Cree Summer

• Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder: Implied to be the reason she wound up with Garth instead of Kaldur.
• Bare Your Midriff
• Blue Eyes
• Dropped A Bridge On Her: In Season 2.
• Elemental Powers
• Functional Magic

• Taking the Bullet: For Garth when he was attacked from behind.
• Youthful Freckles

Topo

Voiced By: James Arnold Taylor

• Cthulhumanoid
• Everything's Squishier with Cephalopods
• Fantastic Racism: The victim of it in the tie-in comic. He's referred to as a "fish head" by the Atlantean purists...
• Mark of Shame: ... who then brand him with a phrase in ancient Atlantean that means "impure."
• Mundane Utility: Uses his Atlantean sorcery for the purpose creating art.
• Smoke Out: He uses a variation using octopus ink in the tie-in comics.

Lori Lemaris

Voiced By: Kath Soucie

• Ascended Extra: Given a fairly prominent role in the tie-in comic.
• Every Girl Is Cuter With Hair Decs
• Fantastic Racism: Like Topo, the victim of it.
• Making a Splash
• Our Mermaids Are Different: To an extent, courtesy of her character designer. They tried to emphasize her aquatic-ness and make her more deliberately fish like, making her tail and movements closer to an actual fish' rather than the dolphin-like traits mermaids are often given.
• Painting the Fourth Wall: Her appearance in the show has her casting a translation spell, after which all the spoken Atlantean becomes understandable english for the viewer.
• Translator Microbes: See above.

King Nanaue Sha'ark

• Adaptational Villainy: Inverted. His mainstream DCU counterpart is usually a villain, but here, he's (more or less) one of the good guys.
• Authority Equals Asskicking: He's the king of the Atlantean city-state of Nanaue.
• Canon Foreigner: Has appeared only in the tie-in comic so far.
• Fantastic Racism: The victim of it like all other less human-like Atlanteans, but he shows traits of it himself, shown most notably when he refers to most other characters as "chum" and looks down on poor Topo for not being a "predator" like himself.
• I'm a Humanitarian: Repeatedly threatens and even attempts to eat other characters.
• Species Surname
• Token Evil Teammate: Acts like a bully, threatens to eat people, but is generally on everyone's side when they go after the purists. Still, his attempts to take a bite out of their enemies cause some friction.

Ronal

• Canon Foreigner: In regards to the show. Basically, the same situation as Sha'ark.
• Easily Forgiven: Pardoned by Aquaman for his part in Mera's kidnapping, because he turned on Ocean Master in the end.
• Fantastic Racism: Towards non human-like Atlanteans. He's one of the Purists, seeking to drive the "impure" from Atlantis.
  • Does This Remind You of Anything?: He has blonde hair, blue eyes, and hates the "impure." Hm.
• Making a Splash
• Shaping Your Attacks: Ronal can also make water constructs as Aqualad and Queen Mera can, such as when he is shown attacking Ocean Master with one shaped like a barracuda.
• Unwitting Pawn: He and the other Purists were just used by Ocean Master in order to get at Queen Mera.

Forever People

Bear

Voiced by Bill Fagerbakke

• Call a Smeerp a Rabbit: He adopts "Bear" as an equivalent of his true name in this continuity. His first choice was "Wolf", but that was taken; he likes "Bear" more, though.
• Super Strength

Serifan

• The Gunslinger

Moonrider

• Energy Ball
• The Voiceless: Has yet to say anything so far.

Earth's third Green Lantern. When the League considers an expansion in "Agendas", the Flash puts his name forward - something Hal and John are both very opposed to.
