==Characters==
===Main===
* John Smith/The Olympian - the main protagonist of the series who is a mysterious hero with a number of abilities, including flight, super strength, energy projection, and others, as well as a psychic link to living creatures that lets him communicate with them. At the beginning of the series, he is unsure of his origins and is suffering from depression due to a past of being given up for adoption repeatedly and an inferiority complex that causes him to believe he's never doing enough. In his civilian identity, he is a paramedic who uses his psychic abilities to pinpoint someone's injuries and how to treat them.
* Beverly Wax/Olympi-Girl - Olympian's daughter who he conceived accidentally while in college. Having gone her whole life not knowing who her father was, she quickly pieced it together when her own powers manifested in full at age 10, though she is much less powerful than her father. She is hyperactive and easily bored, but has great love for both her parents, even if her relationship with her father is strained at times. It's hinted that she has greater potential than her father, as her psychic abilities manifested far earlier than his own, though she only uses them to talk to her dog, Biscuit.
===Supporting===
* Amanda Wax - Olympian's ex-girlfriend from college who he accidentally got pregnant. She and Olympian begin with a complicated relationship, as she wants Beverly to be in Olympian's life but resents him due to the fact her pregnancy made her have to put off her own dreams to raise her daughter, doing so with the assistance of her mother. At the beginning, she works as a barista at a questionable job where she dresses provocatively but is later fired upon turning 30, Olympian helping to get her a desk job at the hospital he works for. Though she has a pipe dream of one day becoming an author.
* Clara Wax - Amanda's mother and Beverly's grandmother who helped to raise her. She primarily serves as comic relief in the series, her being an overly grouchy woman with no filter, her and her daughter often getting into comedic arguments. She does have a strange soft spot for Olympian though, who she is almost saccharine towards. However, when asked for advice, she proves herself to be a surprisingly intelligent woman who tells people the honest truth in spite of how much it may hurt to hear.
* Biscuit - Beveryly's puppy, having found him abandoned in the streets by his mother due to him being born sick. According to Beverly, the doctors gave him a few days to live but he has managed to survive two years so far, which Olympian suspects may be the result of Beverly unknowingly using her powers on him.
===Antagonists===
* Dr. Horton Gloom - the main antagonist of the series, Gloom is the man in charge of Pygmalion Labs, a research group dedicated to creating the ultimate human being. The group successfully created Olympian's mother, who Gloom fell in love with and is implied to have attempted to force himself on. She eventually escaped after giving birth to Olympian and died not long after. Upon taking over Pygmalion, Gloom's obsession with the woman evolved into an obsession with finding her baby, which he is convinced is his own. He claims this to be out of love, though in reality he wants a super being under his power and is willing to settle for others.
* Mr. Roboto - a calm and emotionless mob boss who is a cyborg that replaced most of his body parts with cybernetics as he is one of Orbits Coast's most infamous mob bosses, being well aware of the Olympian and wants to get him permanently out of the way, often creating robotic monstrosities to try and destroy the Olympian.
* Xerox - the first perfect attempt by Pygmalion Labs at recreating their initial success at making a perfect human. Xerox was born from the DNA of Olympian, granting him all of his powers and making him heavily resemble the hero, though Xerox's brain patterns were heavily based on Horton Gloom's. This later proved to be a mistake, as Xerox's empathy was slowly burned out and he became a sociopath who used his immense power for personal gain.
* Brandon King/Chessmaster - a flamboyant and overly confident self-proclaimed criminal genius who is motivated by his own jealousy that Olympian is gaining more attention than him. He has a series of cybernetics implanted into his brain which grant him both the telekinetic and mind reading abilities as well as protection from Olympian's own powers. Most of his schemes have the gimmick that they have something to do with board games or games in general.
* Prometheus - an AI created to be able to predict almost anything within reason. However, as its system grew more advanced, Prometheus became increasingly bored with humanity and how seemingly predictable they were, crafting itself a body and hoping to spread chaos to shake up the monotony of its own existence. It has various abilities thanks to its robot form, the main ones being self-repair and the ability to absorb and integrate other electronics into its system.
* The Scowler - an immortal serial killer who has been haunting Orbits Coast since the early 20th century, the Scowler has several origins that all contradict each other. In reality though, he is a psychic entity (referred to as a "tulpa") who was created through the fear that the story of the Scowler created. There is no real Scowler, with this one being a manifestation of people's collective subconscious. He is able to shapeshift into various forms and feeds on the fear of his victims.
* Baron Reginald Cox/Bloody Baron - the corrupt and sadistic ruler of the fictional Eastern European country Bolstad who is heavily connected to occult circles. He always wears a full body cloth suit as below it, he has no body and is made out of hell fire, having sold his soul to a demon in order to obtain the political power he currently possesses. According to him, the nameless demon lives inside of him, and he hopes to one day find a suitable host to force the demon into to be rid of it.
* Mother Belial - an intergalactic war criminal, claimed to be the most wanted woman in the galaxy, Mother Belial is a highly powerful alien who, upon witnessing the death of her own home world, came to the conclusion that life had no purpose. Because of this, she began traveling the world in search of meaning, but has failed to find any so far, with her leaving a trail of dead planets in her path as punishment for failing to prove they had a reason to live. Her ultimate nihilism is unmatched, and she has yet to meet anyone who can prove optimism has any merit.
*The Dreamer - an ancient entity who claims to be a part of a race of entities who existed long before the creation of the other Pantheons as despite his immense power, he is only capable of possessing and controlling those that are currently asleep thanks to his dying power. Now wanting to regain his power no matter what, he possesses the bodies of whoever he can find sleeping and has them commit crimes to find a way to free him into the "waking world", becoming a somewhat dangerous threat to the Olympian.
