Slade/Deathstroke: So the version of Deathstroke who's appearing in this quest is going to be fairly different from the version of the cartoon. This version isn't really a mastermind and is nowhere near as ambitious as he is in the show itself. Furthermore his use of weapons (guns, swords staves etc.) is way more prominent as is the fact that he's technically a super-soldier. I draw most heavily on some of the early comics for Deathstroke but many elements of his characterization come from other depictions as well. The most relevant point of comparison between Deathstroke in quest and in the cartoon is that I imagine that Deathstroke speaks a lot like how Ron Perlman voiced Slade giving him a fairly distinctive creepy monotone voice that he only occasionally drops when things have been turned on their head.
Makes sense, as much as I love Slade from the cartoon the inclusion of his kids alone kind of prevents him from going down that same path
He also lacks inherent ties to H.I.V.E. even if he may end up ultimately coming to take charge of it.
Assuming that Queen Bee doesn't beat him to it
- Mammoth: Mammoth draws heavily from his cartoon version as I like that version much more than his comic book and Young Justice counterparts and so his primary influence comes from there but his nationality (Australian) and his sister Shimmer are both more accurate to the comics than the show. He's still a simplistic brute but his dynamic with his sister shows a more compassionate side of him that really wasn't present in the cartoon.
- Gizmo: Gizmo similarly draws most heavily from his cartoon version with him being a very short kid (as opposed to an adult with dwarfism) but his real name is derived from the comics (Mikron O'Jeneus). Gizmo's still a mouthy brat who hurls around made-up insults like it's going out of style and his general arrogance and enjoyment of kicking people while they are down remain as well.
- Billy Numerous: Billy Numerous is pretty much exactly his comic book counterpart as while he has appeared in comics he's drawing almost entirely from the show. The only real difference that he has in characterization that I can think off of the top of my head is that he's explicitly a metahuman in quest. He's still the loud southern accented self-duplicating braggadocio who commits crimes out of a sense of delinquency.
- See-More: See-More is another case of not really appearing in any media besides the cartoon show, hence his personality and characterization are mostly derived from there as well. The main original invention for him is that he's explicitly a metahuman using supertech to get his powers. See-More is generally characterized as a calmer and more thoughtful kind of criminal but not one who is incapable of getting caught up in others stupidity. He's a bit cautious and sensitive but at the same time he's also more than happy to break the law or fight others due to seeing himself as superior to others.
- Kyd Wykyd: Kyd Wykyd is yet another character who exists in quest but doesn't really appear in any media besides the Teen Titans cartoon. Kyd Wykyd is explicitly a magic user and he remains a stoic silent operator with a willingness to follow others lead while also being unwilling to turn away from his life of crime
I kinda want to recruit all of these people at some point but that might just be nostalgia, also what are the odds of these guys attending the Charles McNider school?
Well, we already know where Billy Numerous is though I'm still not clear if Queen Bee is keeping him or sending him to us
Blackfire: Blackfire in quest is characterized in a mix of her comic and cartoon version. She keeps the appearance and general confident and cunning personality (as opposed to the comics more angrily psychotic version) and has the same powers as the cartoon version (comics Blackfire was born powerless and had to cut a deal with alien invaders to get them) but the version of Blackfire in quest does differ from the cartoon version. Quest Blackfire was born weaker than Starfire and was passed up in succession because of it. Quest Blackfire is also responsible for selling off Starfire to the Gordanians but unlike in the comics, she didn't become ruler of Tamaran and instead fled into space herself. Quest Blackfire hates and resents Starfire immensely and when sufficiently pushed into a corner she drops the cool confident facade she puts up and becomes almost animalistically mind-bendingly furious. Blackfire's experience with being passed up in succession for being too weak has caused her to fixate on being powerful and gaining more power which often causes her to come into conflict with others especially since she views Starfire as a threat to any security she might gain.
I also kinda want to recruit Blackfire but only if we can't get Starfire first
Kardiak: Kardiak will show up in quest and as he has next to no characterization in the cartoon (which is the only place he's ever appeared) any characterization he gets will be entirely original. Kardiak is basically an example of mad science gone wrong.
I'd honestly be shocked if he ended up as anything but a monster of the week, he's literally just a giant heart robot that kidnaps
Red X: I cannot go too in depth with Red X but suffice to say if he shows up he'll have broadly the same character and appearance as in the show. I've combined him with an existing character (not Jason Todd) and I believe his real name in quest has actually been dropped without any fanfare already so eagle eyed readers who want to delve through every threadmarked post might be able to narrow down who he is ahead of time.
Clearly he's a bionic monkey
Honestly though Red X is probably one of my favourite DC characters despite him only being in the show, and kind of in a recent comic
Fixit: Fixit retains his cartoon characterization and personality but he is given the additional ambition to cast off biology entirely and to eventually become nothing more than an AI.
I would really like to get Fixit, especially if we want to pursue robotics or AI research
That alone is arguably worth investing into Jump City
Mad Mod: Mad Mod is primarily characterized based off of how he appeared in the cartoon but he keeps his real name (Neil Richards) and his sartorial sense from his comic book incarnation. Mad Mod is still a deranged Anglophilic villain with a penchant for mind control and an increasing awareness that he's becoming a relic of the past, leading him to hate more youthful villains and heroes.
I stand by that Mad Mod and Carl would get along, he might also get along with Nygma and Elaine
But Oswald would hate him
As for other characters you've clearly forgotten the greatest Teen Titans, Ding Dong Daddy!
Seriously though I'm curious which version of Doctor Light you're going with and I imagine Terra will be the princess of Markovia?
