==Characters==
===Main===
*The Enigma - a mysterious masked vigilante who wears all black including a metallic mask that conceals his face as well as a fedora as he is hyper-intelligent as well as a master in the martial arts of Jeet Kun Do, Judo and MMA fighting as he truly cares about the safety of Hazel City, operating through the shadows. He also has quite a few gadgets as well as a motorcycle as almost everyone in Hazel City wonders one thing: who is the Enigma. It is revealed that not even the Enigma knows who he used to be due to his devotion to fighting crime and injustice having consumed most of his life.

*Danica "Dani" Tyson - a brash and aggressive rookie detective working for Hazel City's Police Department who often works both under her superior's orders and off the books, as she occasionally encounters the Enigma, not truly knowing that if the Enigma is good or bad but is often forced to work with him against the rising stranger threats of Hazel City.
*Chief Patrick Brennan - the quite tired yet law obsessed chief of Hazel City's Police Department who isn't a massive fan of masked vigilantes as he sends Dani to investigate and maybe take down the Enigma, as he believes unchecked, the Enigma can cause the entire city to crumble as he only wants things done by the word of the law, sometimes hating how Dani is willing to go off the books to solve a case.
*Emilia Staples - an extremely cocky and somewhat liquor loving journalist and photographer who works for the Hazel City Gazette as she is somewhat obsessed with uncovering who the Enigma is, deciding to use her investigative journalist skills to try to figure out who the Enigma is, being quite horrified at the fact that Enigma has no trace or anything that can link to an identity. She also is extremely skilled at photography, at the point that she doesn't need a photographer to follow her around.
*Don Freeman - Emilia's boss, and the loud-mouthed chief editor of the Hazel City Gazette who is not a fan of vigilantes in the city, as he views the Enigma as a menace.
*Mr. Rogers - an extremely goofy and silly old man who quite loves fishing although it seems that he knows a lot more about the Enigma and his thought process than he lets on. It is revealed that he was once the Enigma of the golden age who after training the current Enigma, got facial surgery and retired, taking the name of Mr. Rogers off of the TV show of the same name and resides in Hazel City to keep an eye out on the current Enigma.
*Mayor Duncan Rosenblatt - the flamboyant yet somewhat caring mayor of Hazel City who is aware how it is surrounded by criminals and madmen as he attempts to find ways to clean the city's image, although this often causes him to deal with Enigma, who Duncan claims is another one of those criminals, but sometimes has to work with him.
*Laura Anne Bentley - Duncan's extremely emotionless personal assistant and secretary who often updates him about the events of Hazel City, not really caring about the Enigma, just wanting to make sure that Duncan's ego is stroked, knowing that if she isn't making him satisfied with the city, her job is at risk.
*Ryan Bell/Rocket - a goofy and silly race car driver who after getting in a career ending accident, gets visited by scientists and is outfitted with a suit that allows him to run faster than a rocket as he wants to use it to protect people, becoming a defender of Hazel City's smaller Shining Apple district, befriending and often working with Enigma.

*Johnny De La Roca/The Planner - a flamboyant yet intelligent criminal for hire who is hired to create plans for criminals and mob bosses to act out as he learns of Enigma and becomes fascinated by him, attempting to create the perfect plan that not even the Enigma could stop, rarely physically getting involved in his plans. Enigma soon learns of his existence and attempts to find a way to stop his plans and machinations.
*Roland Sullivan/Red Spot - a ruthless yet quite calm mob boss with a mysterious red spot around his left eye which allows him to hypnotize anyone who looks at it as he learns of Enigma, who is immune to his hypnotic powers thanks to his visor as he becomes obsessed with taking down Enigma, seeing him as the biggest threat to his empire. Most of his henchmen are criminals and thugs taken control thanks to his eye, never truly keeping a henchman.
*Phillip Greer/Leopard - a cocky assassin for hire who claims to have killed dozens of people as he initially arrived to take a bounty on the Enigma as he is a master of both speed and knives, which caused him to earn his nickname of the Leopard. After initially failing to kill the Enigma, he becomes a recurring threat to him, often being hired to kill numerous faces.
*Winona Jekyll/Ms. Hyde - a young yet severally insane mob boss who claims to be the descendant of the real Dr. Jekyll as she forced chemists to create a chemical that will awaken "the Hyde" inside of her, with her transformation into Hyde being quite unpredictable. As Jekyll she is quite bubbly and flirtatious but severally unhinged while as Hyde, she is extremely aggressive and violent, not taking no as an answer. This causes her henchmen and goons to be terrified of both sides of her as soon both sides learn of Enigma, with Jekyll falling madly in love with him, being obsessive over him, while Hyde despises him and wants him dead. Hyde is also extremely strong, being capable of throwing a car with her own fists.
*Nigel Porter/The Surgeon - a terrifying and deranged young man who claims to be a surgeon as he happens to be a serial killer and mad scientist, turning his patients into horrific and terrifying monsters that lost all signs of humanity as he learns of the Enigma, and becomes somewhat obsessed with experimenting on him, seeing everything as a big science experiment.
*Ashton Meyers/The Match - a loud mouthed and aggressive masked anarchist who believes that society has been corrupt thanks to politicians and their power over people as he often schemes to destroy and rebuild the government with a focus on freedom.

*Katrina Tickman/Clockmaker - a mentally insane clockmaker who is quite obsessed with time as she soon begins to craft dangerous gimmicky clocks and even clockwork robots and becomes a criminal mastermind as she can't spend a single second without knowing what the time is, often clashing against Enigma who she isn't the biggest fan of.
*Gerald Greene/Brute - a deranged former military soldier who volunteered for a government experiment to create more powerful soldiers known as Project Titan, being injected with a serum that horrifically mutates him, giving him a horrifically long tongue as well as brute strength and razor-sharp claws as he now wanders around Hazel City, on a single-minded quest for destruction, often fighting the Enigma.

*Harvey Whitmore/Harlequinn - an egotistical classically trained theatrical actor who leads a troupe of criminals and thieves all based on characters from Commedia dell'arte as he wants to become the richest criminal around, often using strange high-tech weapons while finding Enigma to be quite a troublemaker for his schemes.

==Characters==
===Main===
*The Enigma - a vigilante operating in Hazel City, fighting crime with a series of martial arts and gadgets, his true identity unknown to anyone, including himself. The series further expands his ideology and thought process, which is heavily inspired by the teachings of Buddhism and philosopher Laozi, the main theme of the series being Enigma's views on identity and how it should be shed in favor of a more important cause. In the second half of the comic, he is heavily injured and begins training a protege to temporarily replace him.
*James Rosenblatt/The Enigma II - the deuteragonist of the series, James is Enigma's protege introduced near the second half of the comic. He is the son of Hazel City's mayor and, following Enigma's body being heavily injured, he is trained as the second Enigma, needing to learn how to shed his own identity. Unlike the much more refined Enigma, James has not yet embraced this ideology and often gives into rage and pride, which he is scolded by Enigma for.
