* IronicName: She's anything but merciful.

to:

* IgnoredEpiphany: After seemingly having cut ties with Lex for good in ''Justice League'', come ''Unlimited'' she's back to being his righthand.
* IronicName: She's anything but merciful. Her last name, Graves, is a [[MeaningfulName bit more on-brand]].


Added DiffLines:

* PuttingOnTheReich: She dresses in what's basically a Gestapo uniform sans the skull and swastikas.

* LogicalWeakness: Livewire and water do not mix. Her stored electricity will short circuit and at least partially dissipate if she gets wet.

* NeverMyFault: Her transformation was due to her stupidity of hosting a concert ''in the middle of a storm''. Superman tried to get her to cancel it as she was both putting herself and the audience in danger; she wouldn't listen and even though he saved her from getting hit by lightning, the bolt passed through Superman and hit her anyway, transforming her into Livewire. She then blamed Superman for the mess, mostly from seeing on TV a reporter interviewing Superman accusing that he deliberately didn't push Leslie out of the way when the lightning struck.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Between her being a DumbassDJ, having black hair pre-transformation, and referring to herself as the "queen of all media", she was basically a [[GenderFlip gender-flipped]] counterpart to Creator/HowardStern.

* TooDumbToLive: When lightning began striking her stage, rather than running for cover, she enthusiastically stared at the display as if it was some pre-planned light show.

Added DiffLines:

* CreateYourOwnVillain: She gained her powers after a lightning bolt passing through Superman finally struck her, causing her to absorb a portion of his abilities.


Added DiffLines:

* VillainHasAPoint: She argues with Lois that the reason for her being so brash is because shock jockeying is a rather sexist profession, and to be even half as notable as male jockeys she had to be twice as loud.

* ImproperlyParanoid: For all that CADMUS ''may'' be right about [[BewareTheSuperman the possibility of evil superhumans]] and [[MilitariesAreUseless the U.S. government lacking the firepower to fight them]], Hardcastle from beginning to end is into killing Superman for no damned good reason at all.

* AdaptationDyeJob: In the tie-in comics, she temporarily loses her powers. While human again, she's a blonde rather than the brunette she was in the show.
* AdaptationalHeroism: In both the tie-in comics and the mainstream comics, she eventually becomes an ally, a stark contrast to her original animated incarnation who simply did things ForTheEvulz.
* AttentionWhore: A decent part of her characterization, especially in her first appearance. It's particularly obvious before her transformation. In the tie-ins, realizing this is her first step towards a HeelFaceTurn: she tries to call Superman out for a big, flashy showdown in the middle of an alien invasion, but instead of fear from the populace she only gets annoyance that she's trying to grab the spotlight when there's far more important events taking place, causing her to realize how ridiculous her usual schtick is.

* HeelFaceTurn: In the tie-in comics to the show, at least. After making the jump to the main DC Universe, she eventually turns good there as well when her powers are rewritten to cause her to develop incredible psychosis, and Superman helps her by giving her an energy-regulating suit, restoring her mind.

* CanonImmigrant: She follows from Harley Quinn's lead as a character created for the cartoon prior to being added to the continuity of the source material. She proved popular enough that she would subsequently appear in the comics and in other animated series like ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'' (with some [[RaceLift slight changes]]) and ''[[WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010 Young Justice]]'', and heavily inspired the character of Tess Mercer from ''Series/{{Smallville}}''.

Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalIntelligence: At the time the series aired, Corben was typically characterized as a stupid two-bit thug given too much power by becoming an indestructible robot powered by his main enemy's secret weakness. This incarnation was a fair bit smarter and more cultivated as a capable and cunning criminal mercenary, and while his post-roboticization plans often lack a bit of nuance, it's implied to be the result of SanitySlippage rather than "just" not being particularly bright or creative.

* SanitySlippage: Corben was never a good guy, but he was sane and rational for the most part. His transformation into Metallo made him unable to feel anything, which slowly wound up driving him insane; the fact he had to spend months trapped on the bottom of the ocean didn't help matters either.
