1. #1Malevola

   Keys: Malevola

   MALEVOLA: (Apperance: Malevola is a tall half-demon with yellow, pupilless eyes, red skin and long black hair. Her horns are dark grey, protruding from the sides of her head and curling inwards, pointing up in an H-shape. She wears a low-cut white tank top, yellow diamond shaped earrings, light blue jean shorts, and black heels. Described as terrifying by Blonde Blazer, Malevola is conversely a down-to-earth, self-aware half-demon. She has an independent streak with little respect for procedure, purposefully showing up late to meetings, and is implied to use her portals to leave the room, refusing to get her mugshot taken. She enjoys gossip and playing into jokes, using common church phrases such as ‘confess your sins, cause I… really want the tea,’ and greeting citizens by calling herself their ‘lord and savior.’ Malevola shows amusement in being feared, saying that ‘fear is the best teacher’ when dispatched to handle a juvenile pickpocket, and gleefully saying that people will ‘piss their pants when they see [her.]’ When commenting on first impressions, she quips that people judge her for her appearance, then judge her even more after getting to know her. Similarly, she’s aware that while she’s not to everyone’s taste, ‘too many’ people fetishise her. Despite this, she’s implied to be dissatisfied with being perceived unfavourably, expressing her enjoyment of being seen as a ‘benevolent devil,’ re-routing to avoid police and churches, saying ‘[she] doesn’t need that drama today,’ and sarcastically commenting that her favourite part of the job is ‘scaring children’ when ordered to scare one. She is a member of the Z-Team and is dispatched to do missions by Robert.)

2. #2Sonar

   Keys: Sonar

   SONAR: (Appearance: Sonar has a human body, but the head of a bat with sharp fangs and big ears. He has pure white eyes, and wears a navy-blue suit with a red tie and black dress pants. When transformed, his eyes turn red and grows in height, his body growing more bulky physique. His arms transform into bat wings. He has fluffy grey fur and pink snout. Backstrory and Personality: Sonar was a Harvard graduate who also orchestrated some of the most effective Silicon Valley investment frauds in US History, according to Blonde Blazer. Also, sometimes he transforms into a bat monster. Sonar fails to understand jokes, in the Demo, Robert Robertson introduces himself just for his team to laugh at his name, which Sonar starts repeating "Robert Robertson" to attempt to comprehend what's funny about Robert's full name. Him repeating the name over and over while making slight changes each time could also read as an attempt at using a mnemonic device to make sure he remembers Robert's name for networking purposes, due to his intelligence and general business presenting demeanor. He shows remarkable talent in white collar crimes. Business oriented, he’s eager to network with Vanderstenk on his ideas for ‘human meat alternatives,’ and says that ‘[he] can never have too many soft skills’ when levelled up. He also has an elitist side, having cyberbullied others, calling himself a ‘high ranking Vanderstenker,’ and frequently boasting that he’s a Harvard graduate. When faced with his own failures, he makes excuses for ‘not trying that hard.’ Friends and co-heroes. As his NA sponsor, Malevola helps him with controlling his monster form. When dispatched together, he shows excitement at the prospect, saying they should ‘fuck shit up,’ to her agreement. She acts as the voice of reason to him, pointing out that Vanderstenk needs protection from his fans when Sonar requests to go, interested in networking with him. he is a member of the Z-Team and is dispatched to do missions by Robert.)

3. #3Blonde Blazer

   Keys: Blonde Blazer

   BLONDE BLAZER: (Appearance: Blonde Blazer is a young woman with long blonde hair and blue eyes. She has a tall and athletic physique, being slightly taller than Robert. Blonde Blazer's superhero outfit consists of a white, skintight bodysuit with a blue sleeveless leotard as an outer layer, navy blue elbow-length gloves and knee-high boots. She wears waist-level cape attached to a yellow collar that covers her neck and frames her shoulders, flaring slightly outwards, ending in a pointed dip in the middle of her chest, holding a slim red jewel. Backstrory and Personality: In the SDN office, Blonde Blazer is shown to be friendly, welcoming and encouraging towards her subordinates and co-workers, something alluded to in the reveal trailer, and made clearer in the demo. Idealistic, she is insistent on her faith in the Phoenix Program, reluctantly admitting it being at risk of shutting down is results fail to show for it. She’s also described to have a hero complex, sincerely extending an offer of employment to a depressed Robert, comforting him, and saying she believes there is more he can still offer as a person. As the implied branch manager at the SDN, the staff respect her as an authority figure, with one quietly passing along a document for her to sign without interrupting her giving orientation to Robert. Despite this, she’s shown to be capable of some thoughtlessness, committing a faux pas of trying to demonstrate the SDN’s value of diversity by using Galen as an example, failing to remember he was from Florida until he answered. She also instructs Robert to take off his clothes while distracted in finding him an SDN uniform, seemingly unaware of the suggestiveness of the line. Blonde Blazer brought Robert into the dispatching position and is a very popular superhero.)

4. #4Punch Up

   Keys: Punch Up

   PUNCH UP: (Appearance: He has black hair and a large mustache, fitting the look of a traditional strongman or carnival performer.

He’s implied to be aware of his unintelligence, proudly remarking that he ‘knew how to use his head’ if he fails a mission. He’s not above laughing at himself, saying he’ll get to the site as fast as his ‘legs can get [him].’ He also asks the other heroes if 'cauliflower ear is an STD.' He has a bloodthirsty side, lamenting that he hasn’t fought anyone the entire day, and is dismayed when he notes that he can’t punch a kid if dispatched on a call for one. When recalling a familiar street he used to fight in, he reminisces that he 'used to punch bums' there and sadly wonders if the best days are behind him. He’s implied to be an alcoholic, asking anyone for a ‘pint on the road’ if dispatched, and celebrating a successful mission by offering to cover the first round of drinks. he is a member of the Z-Team and is dispatched to do missions by Robert.)

5. #5Prism

   Keys: Prism

   PRISIM: (Appearance: Prism is a black female in her mid twenties. Her hair is as bob style cut with half of it being a light blue and the other half a neon pink.

On her left arm matching her hair she wears a long elbow length glove colored light blue while on her right arm she wears the same type of glove except pink. She wears long blue boots, purple lipstick and purple tinted shades on her face. Backstrory and Personality: Described as highly dramatic, Prism is a proud, charismatic diva. Prism shows talent in makeovers, able to bestow new hero identities to two men quarreling over the name ‘Fight Man.’ Blonde Blazer also describes her as talented when asked why Prism dresses as a pop star, evident in her number of followers. She has a judgemental side, noted to be a ‘music snob’ and looking down on William Vanderstenk, calling him a ‘loser’ and doesn’t respect his certificate, saying he’s not a genius just for having one. Prism shows some interest and enthusiasm as a Phoenix, occasionally commenting that a mission looks fun if dispatched. When succeeding, she proudly exclaims her success, telling others 'It's okay, don't be jealous' while asserting she knows they've witnessed it. Upon failing, she becomes aloof and hostile, telling others not 'to fucking try her today.' Her power is not explained but could be assumed to be her making copies of herself teammates and really anything she wants out of light which are able to fight for her. She is a member of the Z-Team and is dispatched to do missions by Robert.)

6. #6Coupè

   Keys: Coupè, Coop

   COUPÈ: (Appearance: Coupé is a tall, dark-skinned woman with short, straight black hair slicked back into a neat bob. She has yellow eyes and mascara running down her cheeks from her eyes, and wears dark lipstick. As a Phoenix, she wears a black, slim catsuit with a V neck collar, slim, silver pauldrons on her upper biceps, and metallic accents framing her body: with similarly designed wings at her back. She wears a metallic domino mask that reaches to the sides of her head, ending with four pointed spikes. Backstory and Personality Described as cold and merciless, Coupé is a mysterious and efficient assassin. She takes pride in her abilities, cursing herself and asking what ‘all of [her] training was for’ when failing a mission, and seeing a retrieval of a child’s balloon as beneath her. Similarly, she expects her missions to be difficult, expressing confusion when remarking it was ‘easier than [she] thought it’d be,’ and occasionally showing interest that she’ll finally be dealing with ‘criminals with class.’ Coupé is implied to have a background in ballet, naming herself after a French ballet term meaning 'to cut,' and her starting ability following in a similar fashion. She exhibits some interest in poetic wordplay, calling herself ‘graceful, but deadly,’ and ‘swift as the night, sharp as my knife,’ when dispatched. She displays dry humour, saying she can ‘take a stab at’ a mission, and clarifies she was trying to make a joke. She is a member of the Z-Team and is dispatched to do missions by Robert.)

7. #7Golem

   Keys: Golem

   GOLEM: (Appearance: Golem is a towering construct of brown colour and varying size, changed by the amount of material he absorbs on a given day.

Several debris are stuck in his body, including a large tire in his right bicep, and several unidentified pieces half-sunken in his back. Large pieces of rock are embedded in his arms and legs.

He tends to speak informally, making a habit of calling other heroes ‘baby,’ and using slang such as ‘kobe’ and ‘that’s the gravy, baby’ when succeeding a mission. He practices being polite, trying to smile more but remarks that he doesn't have enough teeth for it, and resolving to try and not ruin anyone's carpet when dispatched. He has a proud side, boasting 'let's show these molehills a mountain' and 'someone order a mudslide?' Despite this, Golem admits to being dimwitted, saying he has rocks for brains. He mispronounces ‘humongous’ when angrily asking who called him ‘a humuncuous', though it's also possible he was attempting to express someone had referred to him as 'a homunculus' Blonde Blazer thinks he’s lonely, a claim somewhat evidenced with him being on dating apps, and having dated a cliff side before, citing it didn’t work out. He enjoys rock climbers, saying that they're handsy. he is a member of the Z-Team and is dispatched to do missions by Robert.)

8. #8Chase

He was unaware of the drawbacks of his powers, and ultimately retired from being a hero when he realised that he couldn’t use them anymore without risking his health. He currently works at the Torrance branch for the SDN. Chase is a crass and blunt man with little patience for nonsense. He swears liberally in his interactions, and playfully ribs people he’s close to, referring to them with different titles such as Robert being a ‘skinny latte prick’ and ‘freckle faced fuck.’ While able to comfort others, Chase expresses a limited tolerance for emotional vulnerability on his end, expressing his disdain for being pitied if Robert offers his condolences for his powers, eventually saying he’s had enough of the ‘feelings crap’ before moving on. He freely admits to using dark humour to suppress trauma, a trait he shares with Robert when he jokes about killing his father again in exchange for being able to use his powers. He regrets his hero days, saying he was a chump for trying to help people. He agrees with Robert when he says his fate is cruel, asking what he’s done to deserve it, with Chase calling the drawbacks of his powers akin to a ‘war criminal level punishment.’ Chase can move fifty times faster than the average human, with the drawback of aging fifty times faster when using his powers.)

9. #9Beef

   Keys: Beef

   BEEF: (Beef is Robert's pet dog and the closest thing he has to a best friend. Beef is present when Robert is interrogating Toxic. He licks Robert's bleeding nose while he's laying on the ground. When Robert returns late after meeting Blonde Blazer, he apologizes to Beef and tells him the lady is going to help them. Robert didn't want to leave Beef home alone while he's at work so he brings him to the office during work and asks Chase to look after him.

Backstory and Personality: Phenomaman is an alien from another planet. At some point, he comes to earth and becomes a superhero for SDN and appears in multiple SDN advertisements. Phenomaman is a polite yet seems to struggle with social cues. Due to being from another planet, Phenomaman isnt accustomed fully to human traditions and thinks its okay to invite Robert to his date with Blonde Blazer, and can appear to be a little awkward. Despite this, he is a gentleman and presents himself as confident. However, sometimes can unintentionally give backhanded compliments. Phenomaman is utilised by SDN as an effective marketing mascot, however he is clearly not fully capable nor comfortable in advertising and recording, constantly glancing at a teleprompter, repositioning his hands constantly and having forced awkward smiles. Phenomaman is currently incapable of properly dealing with breaking up with his Ex-girlfriend, Blonde Blazer. He still very much remains enamoured by Blazer and in love with her, sending her many edible arrangements, too many to eat it seems as they end up rotting in the break room or eaten by others. He appears to have a particularly strange sense of personal physical boundaries, and the naming thereof, giving multiple tight, damaging hugs to Robert and referring to this action as "making love." Additionally, it seems his alien biology and genitalia removes the prospect of sexual acts between him and Blazer. He seems to completely identify himself as an other in the world, with himself and Blazer referring to him as "not people")

11. #11Z-Team

    Keys: Z-Team, phoenix program

    Z-Team: (The Z-Team is manned by Phoenix Program, a group of ex-supervillains. Robert is in charge of rehabilitating. The whole program is currently at risk of being scrapped due to lack of improvement — for a few months, their ranking hasn't been increasing at all. Its roster: Sonar the batboy conman, Flambae (controls fire and flame), Invisigal ("Visi") aka Invisibitch, Coupé, a merciless, ghostlike assassin, Punch Up the carnival strongman, Malevola ("Mal") the devil from down under, Golem the sentient construct of clay and stone, Prism the trick of the light When it comes to the Z-Team's dispatchers, most people don’t make it past their first shift. In some cases, members of the Z-Team might've expedited this, seemingly unaware of what this might mean for the program and them personally (scrapping the program and them ending up incarcerated again as a result). The Phoenix Program is run by the Superhero Dispatch Network where ex-supervillains sign up to help out SDN subscribers. At SDN, 8 former villains were chosen from those who signed up and placed on the Z-Team. However, owing to the team's less than welcoming approach to every dispatcher assigned to them, such as Flambae setting one dispatcher's car on fire, they tend to quit in droves. As a result of this and less than optimal results, the program is on the verge of being shutdown. Beware the Silly Ones: Though their antics might make them appear harmless, if slightly obnoxious, at first, the fact remains that they are former villains and several of them have assaulted, kidnapped and even killed people before being put behind bars. Boxed Crook: Nearly everyone in Z-Team is a former supervillain, and service through SDN is on offer instead of a prison sentence. The Dreaded: Chase tells Robert that no dispatcher assigned to them has lasted more than at most a day. Dumb Muscle: As shown by their stats, Punch-Up, Flambae, and Golem are lacking in the brains department, but have solid combative stats. Dysfunction Junction: Aside from being "reformed" criminals, each of them also has some form of hang-up that can and will screw over the mission if Robert isn't careful. Establishing Character Moment: After hearing Robert's full name, they all immediately crack up and start playing off each other to mock it. This establishes them instantly as not respecting him at all, extremely insubordinate, and immature, but also witty and friendly with each other. Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: A very colorful group of people with their own hang-ups and quirks. The only thing they have in common is a criminal history. Recruiting the Criminal: All of them have a criminal record, ranging from assault, to arson, to murder. Blonde Blazer clarifies that most of the members joined the Phoenix Program to escape their sentences.)

12. #12Royd

    Keys: Roy, Royd

    ROYD: (Appearance: Royd is a tall brown male presumably of Hawaiian decent he has long black hair and very defined muscles aswell as a few tattoos on his forearms. He wears the usual SDN uniform of a blue polo shirt, black jeans, and brown shoes, aswell as shades placed in the neck hole of his shirt. Backstrory and Personality: Royd is an easygoing and amiable man, making small talk with Robert when meeting him for the first time. He’s somewhat naive, initially believing that his nickname came from his coworkers (similarly named Roy) naming him after how he fights, citing ‘you got Royd’ before expressing sadness over the idea that they ‘think [he’s] some kind of a juicehead,’ nicknaming him after steroids. Despite this, Royd is resilient, quickly recovering from being hurt by the idea, saying he doesn’t care if it’s true. He also has little care for hygiene, saying he doesn’t wash his hands after using the urinal, citing he ‘doesn’t touch [anything]’ when asked. Royd is also seemingly unaware of other people’s disgust for this, offering a fist bump to Robert in the bathroom and resting a hand on him when laughing at his quip. If Robert refuses to touch him, Royd is understanding and seemingly doesn’t hold it against him, though remembers the act. Royd is implied to be skilled in engineering, seen in the trailer looking over 3D schematics of Robert’s Mecha Man suit. Roy is very chummy and kind hearted man. He likes making new friends and joke around. His joyfful personality can sometimes lead him to a bit akward situation like revealing Robert superhero identity by accident. While giving impression of being a bit "simple" he is actually a technological genius capable of developing and fixing the most advanced technological equipment like Mecha Man suit. Coworkers. Royd is one of the few people who knows Robert is Mecha Man on a ‘need to know basis,’ having picked up his suit for fixing. He’s friendly towards Robert, greeting him, engaging in small talk, and calling him funny after laughing at a remark. Robert is disgusted by Royd’s lack of hygiene and can refuse to touch him, but is otherwise civil with him. When remarking on his nickname possibly being based off of ‘steroids,’ Robert apologises for unintentionally hurting his feelings. The first time Roy came to the mainland, he tried to steal from a Radio Shack, but Robert Robertson II caught him in the act. The two then sat and talked about tech for an hour before Roy was taken to jail, where he ended up in the Phoenix Program eventually becoming one of their most successful members.)

13. #13Brave Brigade

    Keys: Brave Brigade

    BRAVE BRIGADE: (The Brave Brigades are a group of superheroes who were operating in the city of Torrance fifteen years ago. Known members included Robert "Robbie" Robertson II, Shroud, and Track Star.

    INVISIGAL: (Appearance: Invisigal is a white woman in her late 20s of average height with dark purple, short hair and dark brown eyes. She wears a pink cropped jacket with a black, cropped shirt, as well as black capris pants. Backstrory and Personality: She is very confident and sassy, not afraid to speak her mind and fight back if needed. Described as aloof and abrasive, Invisigal is a tough, independent loner. As a hero, she’s occasionally pleasantly shocked and relieved over her successes, wondering aloud if she ‘did that right’ and remarking that a successful mission ‘was great.’ She’s implied to care more about her performance than she admits, notably upset when saying that ‘[she] doesn’t care’ after failing a mission, and sincerely commenting that helping people ‘feels nice,’ before deflecting it by saying ‘as long as [she] gets paid for it.’ Invisigal also displays a willful streak, refusing to be dissuaded from being dispatched to Granny’s Donuts, wanting to get unbanned by saving them. She supports aspiring criminals, giving a young pickpocketer pointers for next time, misunderstanding an order to give him a pep talk. Joined the SDN as a Phoenix on the condition she wasn’t asked questions. Her power is to obviously go invisible. She is a member of the Z-Team and is dispatched to do missions by Robert)

15. #15Flambae

    Keys: Flambae

    FLAMBAE: (Appearance: Flambae is a tall, well-built man in his early 30s with broad shoulders and long legs. He has long black hair tied in a ponytail, reaching down to the middle of his shoulder blades, and a strand of hair left free to frame his face. He has a 5 o’clock shadow beard with thicker sideburns and unshaven chest hair. He has orange irises. Depending on Robert's choices, he can either have partially singed off eyebrows, or a missing front tooth.

His cuffs and boots are orange, and is seen wearing visor sunglasses with a black frame and fiery gradient for its lens.

When mocked by the team for losing against ‘just a guy’ (Mecha Man), Flambae angrily defends himself and goes rogue to set a park on fire. He also takes pride in driving his last dispatcher to quit in two days. As a serial arsonist, he also comments that a juvenile pickpocket should 'pick up arson instead' when dispatched on the mission for it. He wonders aloud if art is flammable, if dispatched to the museum. He's confrontational, picking a fight with Robert at Crypto Night and attempts to assault him. In the trailer, he mocks Robert and says he should accept that he isn't a hero anymore, needing to support 'actual ones' like him at his desk, before telling him to get off of 'his' workout bench, despite a vacant one being available. When confronted with his mistakes, Flambae is dismissive of his role in them, lying about starting a fire, and refusing Robert’s orders to ‘clean [his] mess.’ Flambae is notably vain, having designed his own hero suit, implies that he admires himself in the mirror, and admits to wanting to set a tree on fire, saying they aren’t better than him, showing a petty side and implied self-esteem issues. When dispatched together with Prism, he asks her how his hair looks, and that others shouldn’t mess with ‘perfection.’ He has a habit of rambling, saying ‘brace yourselves, bitches’ and quickly amends that he ‘doesn’t see gender.’ When trying to give his ETA on a call, he describes pulling up Google maps before giving up, saying ‘he’ll be there.’ If it isn't obvious his power is to create fire he's also unable to be set on fire. he is a member of the Z-Team and is dispatched to do missions by Robert.)

16. #16SDN

    Keys: SDN, Superhero Dispatch Network

    SDN: (Superhero Dispatch Network, abbreviated as SDN, is an organization that utilizes heroes and reformed villains to help fight crime for subscribers. One branch operates out of Torrance, though they have branches in other parts of the world. SDN follows what's known as the 3 D's: Dispatching, Documentation, and Diversity.Likely unknown to many of their subscribers, SDN has access to subscribers' security cameras as per the fine print when they sign up for the service. SDN then utilizes this to help get eyes on the ground for when dispatched heroes need more assistance.There are 24 known field agents in Torrance, though many more exist in the world, as indicated by the leaderboard also showing a Global top 24.Based on the scores, everyone in the Z-Team make up the bottom 8 at the Torrance location.)

He approaches Robert after watching an advertisement featuring Phenomaman and appears to look up to him. Waterboy struggles to fasten a tie, soaking it in the process, before Mecha Man helps him. He explains that he has the ability to make things "moist." Later in the episode, he is seen again cleaning the keyboard of Robert after Invisigal smashed a donut into it, explaining he didn't do it. It is here that we can see that he can expel water from his mouth. Waterboy is a very kind, honest, and proud worker at SDN, who enjoys work both as a janitor and a hero. However, he is shown on multiple occasions to freak out or get nervous.
