| - The series' main character. A mysterious man with incredible powers, he was once the Earth's greatest and most beloved hero. Then one day something snapped inside him, and he went on a murderous rampage with no apparent aim other than spreading maximum pain and suffering across the globe. He's now the greatest threat the world has ever faced, and nobody knows how - or if - he can be stopped.
* Alternate Company Equivalent: Superman, but with his powers deconstructed and lacking his pure and strong spirit
* Beware the Superman
* Big Bad
* Big Good: Before his turn.
* Blessed with Suck:
* He didn't have the psychological strength to handle his super-senses - hearing literally every little snide comment about him drove him increasingly close to the edge.
* His invulnerability is also so great that he Can't Have Sex Ever, since his body hairs would cut through a human rather than bend.
* The Cape: When he was a hero. After he became evil he stopped wearing it.
* Changeling Tale: His origin
* Dark and Troubled Past: A mother who tried to murder him, several foster families who rejected him and a period where he lived outside the laws of man.
* Eleos Unaware: Played with. He knows naturally that he is superhuman, but he doesn't know why.
* Evil Costume Switch: The white parts of his costume get turned red and the red parts go black. Loses the cape too.
* Evil Is Petty
* Face Heel Turn
* Fallen Hero
* Flying Brick
* Freudian Excuse: He got tossed from one foster home to another after his families discovered his powers. Several rejected him out of fear, and one mother even killed herself
* Genius Bruiser: The Plutonium is very intelligent and manipulative, which makes him that much more dangerous.
* Glowing Eyes of Doom: Like Superman when he's angry
* Good Hair, Evil Hair: Went from windswept to a buzzcut
* Heroic BSOD: When he realises just how badly he screwed up with the sound virus.
* I Just Want to Be Normal
* Jumping Off the Slippery Slope
* Mood Swinger
* Moral Event Horizon: Probably either lobotomising Samsara or destroying Sky City.
* Mysterious Past: Not even his friends know his origins, or even if he's really an alien.
* Omnicidal Maniac: He kills masses of people on a whim after his fall, including all of Singapore.
* The Perfectionist: His inability to handle criticism and the fallout from his own mistakes played a major part in his fall.
* Physical God
* Replacement Goldfish
* Samaritan Syndrome: Before he turned evil. At one point he flys to the moon just so he can enjoy a 15 minute break from the cries for help.
* Sealed Evil in a Can: Doesn't last long though
* Secret Identity: Dan Hartigan
* Smug Super: After his fall.
* Strong as They Need to Be: Deconstructed. Tony's powers are psionic based, so he really is making himself as strong as he subconsciously restricts himself.
* Super-Hero Origin: Not even he knew what his origin was, possessing his powers as far back as he could remember. Eventually the extraterrestials the Eleos reveal that he was a probe they created from themselves to study the emotions of humans, which was drawn in by the maddened grief of a woman who'd just killed her baby and turned by her will accidentally into a replacement baby with the Eleos' powers.
* Superpower Lottery: He hit the jackpot big time. If even Superman pulled off some the stuff Plutonian does without even really trying, it would probably be declared an Ass Pull.
* Batman Can Breathe in Space: With no apparent limits.
* Eye Beams: That can carve lines in continents.
* Flying Brick
* Made of Diamond: His body hair's tough enough that it'll cut any human who touches it, and the only things that have even scratched him so far are literal magic powers and teleporting bits of him away. He can get knocked around like any other superbeing, but he's almost impossible to kill.
* Super Senses: To an extent that he can read a person's thoughts by watching electrons travel through neurons in their brain and hear across hemispheres of the Earth.
* Super Speed: When he really gets going, he's too fast to see and can perform fairly intricate actions while doing so.
* Super Strength: He can squeeze asteroids into diamonds and throw them hard enough to sink islands, and shoulder-charge opponents through tectonic plates.
* Reality Warper: His real power.
* Red Right Hand: He gains an extra finger on each hand like his parents after his powers evolve.
* Then Let Me Be Evil
* The Paragon Always Rebels
* Token Non-Human
* Unskilled but Strong: What allows him to be defeated by Orian and Survivor. He's simply not used to having to fight physically skilled fighters with powers on par with his own.
* Villain Protagonist
* Would Hurt a Child
