dc super hero girls ( 2019 ) swap au because I have no self control. itβs essentially just a role swap of the villain group and the heroβs ( and batman with the joker, mostly for narrative )
the hero ( formerly villain ) group themselves are INCREDIBLY unorthodox, mostly because none of them other than harleen and selina ever wanted to do something for other people before, they were mostly using their powers for selfish reasons ( not evil ones, just for personal gain ) so even though theyβre all learning to be better people theyβre not super well liked by the general public because of their destructive and frankly dangerous methods ( mostly adults hate them, other teenagers think theyβre the coolest ) theyβre referred to as vigilantes more rather than actual heroes
harleen swaps with babs, she still retains her canon personality sheβs less apathetic, and genuinely cares deeply for a lot of her friends. she still loves playing pranks and practical jokes, but sheβs less rowdy and rambunctious in the beginning, especially when she meets new people, mostly because sheβs now really worried about making a good impression and not getting into too much trouble. rather than her dad taking a new job in metropolis, harleen got expelled from gotham high for playing a big prank ( itβs a running gag that no one but babs knows what it was ) and her dad was so pissed that she got kicked out of the only high school in gotham that he kicked her out. she lied about her address to her address to get into metropolis high, and sheβs really trying her best to do well in school, and like diana was in canon, she was kinda just homeless for a bit. since the joker is a superhero in this universe, harley quinn ( a superhero name the others poke fun at sometimes because of how obvious it is ) is a crime fighting vigilante
selina swaps with diana, she isnβt an amazonian or anything ( thatβs still diana ) but instead sheβs more of a robin hood type character pre canon. sheβd steal from banks or take valuables and sell them on the black market and give the money to people and families who need it, which isnβt an amazing tactic, but her intentions were good. she didnβt have any real interest or intention in starting a superhero group or actually fighting any crime before harleen brings up the idea, but she has been keeping a close eye on a couple girls ( pam, leslie, doris, carol ) at school that she thinks might have superpowers. once the group is formed she is the leader, mostly because she has the most battle iq / experience. like diana, she is the one leading the main training in the beginning, and though sheβs the elected βleaderβ sheβs not really the mom of the group. she does care deeply about her team though, and she does try her best to keep them safe. sheβs the least destructive member of the team because of how practiced she is at sneaking in and out of places without getting caught but sheβs one of the most disliked because of catwomanβs already existing presence pre show, her intentions were good, but robbing banks is bad
the rest of the girls are less obvious swaps, itβs mostly just the villains are now heroes and the heroes are now villains
leslie is the more tech savvy one ( like karen ) sheβs actually super smart which comes as shock to people based on her punk looks ( she hates when people say she doesnβt look like sheβd enjoy math or science ) sheβs not a bully anymore, instead, like kara sheβs more sarcastic and just pokes fun at people, though it she takes it too far with people she cares about sheβs very quick to apologize. sheβs the one who is put under raβsβ spell ( sheβs still super punk guys OF COURSE she loved the league of shadows ) and her lighting gets all red and stuff and she looks super cool. sheβs actually part of school newspaper, since sheβs nicer, she doesnβt run a gossip column ( though sheβs constantly BEGGING lois to let her start one ) sheβs instead a field reporter, who always manages her to somehow get the inside scoop and really good pictures ( sheβs hiding out the in tech guys ) also her and doris are one hundred percent going out
doris is more the mom of the group, sheβs no longer a bully and instead uses her strength to defend people she cares about / beat the shit out of people she doesnβt like, she gets in trouble a lot because sheβs constantly beating up kids at school who make fun of pam. her and pam are really close because their parents are both scientists and they grew up hanging out at labs together. both of them were experimented on by their parents, and have been aware of eachothers powers for a while. sheβs super over protective of the others in the group, mostly pam ( because theyβre basically sisters ) leslie ( cause theyβre going out ) and harleen ( because harleenβs always putting herself into harms way ) sheβs quite literally the type to just grab her friends and walk away with them tucked under her arms if she feels that something isnβt safe, despite their protesting. sheβs the worldβs biggest man hater ever, she gets pissed off so much if a guy says something misogynistic to her or her friends, her powers act ho so much itβs not even funny
carol is still the overemotional one of the group, though itβs mostly because her ring is more connected to strong emotions rather than love, but because she still not super sure how to control her ring yet ( none of the others really know what to do either so theyβre all just trying their best ) so whenever her friends, or anyone else around her frankly, are feeling something really strong it effects her pretty deeply. sheβs not obsessed with hal, though they are still exes, but him being a shitty boyfriend is one of the reasons she became so intune with her ring in the first place. sheβs like the opposite of a therapist friend, in the sense of sheβs a friend constantly trying to give therapy but also needs it more than anything. her and thaal are the definition of βtwink and in denial lesbianβ friendship ( and she totally doesnβt dump to him about how hot she thinks lois lane is, even if she is trying to uncover the identities, theyβre essentially this aus barry and babs ) sheβs still a hopeless romantic, and is constantly gushing to the others about her βdreamβ guy ( and theyr all like βcarol you dumb lesbian my god!β )
pam is basically the same, other than the fact that sheβs less inclined to use her powers, mostly because sheβs scared to. she really only goes into poison ivy form when she desperately needs to photosynthesize and when sheβs either completely alone or with doris. her parents exterminated on her when she was little, and because of that fact that they literally turned her into a walking plant sheβs completely incapable of eating plants ( people just think she has a weird medical condition ) though sheβs still anti social, she does quite enjoy the company of a select few people. when she does finally agree to join the others in becoming a super hero, she really only does it / participates in certain crimes to try and help the environment. it isnβt until she and harley come face to face with batgirl that she finally starts using her powers to actually fight. sheβs also less anti social, she still doesnβt have many friends, but itβs mostly because sheβs shy and not because she doesnβt want them ( her and karen have basically swapped personalities ) sheβs very much the sweetest member of the group ( leslie, doris and her are literally simon, alvin and theodore )
diana is a lot more like her aunt antiope, she spent a lot more time with her as a child and so sheβs a lot more reckless and carefree. she doesnβt really care that much about her teammates, and to her theyβre really just pawns she uses to achieve her goals and help her have a good time. sheβs still new to metropolis, having just arrived at the time of the first episode, but rather than wanting to protect the world of man, she instead just wants to cause problems, have fun and possibly grow rich. antiope sent her the the human world willingly, because in this universe sheβs the older sister and is the queen of the amazonians, rather than dianaβs mom. sheβs less academic and way more sporty, a trait sheβs picked up from her aunt since she never really had to study when she was younger. diana is incredibly manipulative in this au, almost every member of her group was manipulated into joining by her, and it continues as long as they remain part of the group
( bonus : the episode #thewarriorandthejester plays out basically the same, including diana figuring out harleen is harley quinn. during nightmare in gotham diana is present, and when harleyβs tied up on the roof she reveals to babs that harleen is harley )
babsβ dad is still commissioner gordon, but she instead idolizes batman, and since batmanβs a bad guy in this universe, so is babs ( sheβs just extra careful about keeping her identity a secret ) like in canon, babs is extremely hyperactive, but in this universe itβs a lot more unchecked. since harleen forced herself to learn how to tone down and not always draw attention to herself in fear of getting kicked out again, her babsβ energy doesnβt match eachotherβs as well as it used to. babs lacks a filter, so sheβll often just say what she doesnβt like about someone to their face, which is one of the reasons harleenβs new friends donβt like her as much. batgirl is a lot meaner in this universe, sheβs rude, and blatantly makes fun of people, particularly harley ( cough β¦ the reason pam gets so worked up and uses her powers in a fighting sense β¦ cough ) while out of the costume harleen still is the more overprotective one ( she still would willingly kill for babs ) babs is the one who often goes to extreme measures to make sure the other is happyΒ
zee is somewhat of an accidental villain, she used dark magic one time on accident ( she caused the gremlins to spew out of ace of spades a lot earlier on ) and diana, who witnessed this, pressured her into jointing her villain group, claiming it would help her βlearn to control her dark magic betterβ ( spoiler alert, it doesnβt ) while zee enjoys the freedom and publicity being a villain brings her, she really doesnβt enjoy using her dark magic, because she has no idea how to control it, she avoids using it most of time, because when she does use it, things get chaotic and very out of hand. sheβs still the most popular girl in school out of costume, but sheβs a lot less nice ( sheβs stereotypical mean girl core and Iβm sorry ) sheβs a lot less open and kind as she is in canon, even to her friends, sheβs a total asshole to everyone but especially to her friendsΒ
karen is a little wet rat in this universe, she was tired of being called small and weak and being picked on, so she built the bumblebee suit with the intention of getting revenge, but even with the broken growth tech diana still recruited her to her team, karen being the only one she didnβt have to manipulate in some way. she used to be incredibly shy, and while sheβs still anti social ( her and pam have kind of swapped personalities ) sheβs just rude now, and thats why she doesnβt have many friends. sheβs a little wet rat and will a hundred percent bite you. sheβs still constantly fix her growth tech, but she also refuses to let any of her team mates help her. basically all of them besides diana and maybe jessica like hate her because sheβs so rude to them all of time and never follows any of their plans and just does her own thing half the time, but diana wonβt listen to them when the tell her to kick karen off the team
jessica doesnβt want to be a villain, she definitely doesnβt enjoy it, like zee and literally every but karen, she was manipulated by diana to joining the team. like pam in canon, most of her motives for doing literally anything villain related is when she sees or hears about social injustices that she wants to fix. she does believe in fighting in this universe, she doesnβt love it, but she thinks that the only way to deal with social injustices is to use violence to punish people. in this universe, her fears of not being good enough for the green lantern core got the best of her and she ran off, quitting and instead taking up a yellow ring ( thaal still has his green ring in this au ) sheβs a lot less of a social butterfly, she still uses school as a place to voice abut problems around metropolis, but because sheβs a lot more self conscious the negative response get to her a lot more. sheβs no longer like βI donβt know the meaning of the words leave it aloneβ and more just βoh β¦ okay Iβll stopΒ πβ sheβs still one who tries befriend pam, and theyβre still adorable and probably dating. she also needs a hug asap
kara became a villain because she was really jealous of super man ( heβs still a hero in this universe ) and diana used that against her. she started out trying to be a hero but literally no one cared and they all called her destructive so diana was like βbecome a villain and then you can beat up your cousin mwa ha haβ and she was like βthat sounds dope Iβm inβ when zod shows up, she still helps defeat him, because she still wants to be a hero deep down, she wants to help people, but diana wonβt let any of them leave her villain group. she does try to help people whenever she thinks diana isnβt looking, and she always tries desperately not to hurt people when theyβre pulling off heights or schemes. sheβs still destructive and thinks punching things is a solution to everything mostly because diana tells her that itβs a great idea to do that, and so sheβs never really learned any other way to deal with problems
lena and lex swap, so heβs the little rat child and sheβs the super genius billionaire asshole. people donβt love lena as much as they do lex in canon mostly because sheβs still a bit of a brat. sheβs still beloved and held to a super high regard but people are also like βsheβs also super fucking weird and is like a ratβ she also has a keytar because fuck it ricky owens reference. so when sheβs fighting with the girls instead of some weird dance sheβs like putting on a little concert for them. most of her robots that need to be manually controlled have a piano as the control piano, so when lex is fighting the girls in the beginning heβs just slamming his hands on random keys and hoping it worksΒ
barbi still starts out a villain, sheβs jealous that harleen became captain of the gymnastics team and was like βmagic is the only solution fuck itβ her and selina are exes but itβs so obvious they have not gotten over eachother at all ( βwhyβd she break up with you selina?β βit was over something stupid - I stole from herβ βthatβs a really good reason to dump youβ ) cheetah is still a villain until around after the girls fight when lena because she was captured and then like immediately let her out and selina like was begging her to be a good guy with them, she late becomes an honorary member of the team. while she was captured she was in the tube next to selina and the whole time selina was like βbarbi Iβm sorry please take me backΒ πβ
the joker and batman swap so babs is the one who idolizes a villain and harleen idolizes a hero. the hive five also swap with the teen titans
dexter is literally the same except selina is the one who works at the animal shelter and is the one who adopts him
