Characters
- Wonder Woman: She is 317 years old and has sneaked away from the Amazons' island home of Themyscira in order to fulfill her dream of protecting the mortal world. Upon reaching the city of Metropolis, she learns to pass herself off as a typical high school student with help from the other main characters. [lower-alpha 1] Voiced by Grey Griffin.
- Supergirl: She is a central protagonist in the web series Lego DC Super Hero Girls where she is a student at Super Hero High. Voiced by Anais Fairweather.
- Batgirl: She is a student at Super Hero High and is an extremely intelligent genius. She is a tomboy and loves to investigate criminals. Voiced by Ashlyn Selich.
- Bumblebee: She is a student at Super Hero High. Voiced by Teala Dunn.
- Eclipso: She is the secondary antagonist in Lego DC Super Hero Girls: Brain Drain. She is a secret ally of Lena Luthor. Voiced by Mona Marshall.
- Harley Quinn: She is a student at Super Hero High and the roommate of Wonder Woman. Unusually for the character, she is portrayed as a hero instead of a villain and has a mostly positive relationship with her superhero counterparts. Voiced by Tara Strong.
- Lashina: She is a whip-wielding member of The Female Furies. In Lego DC Super Hero Girls: Brain Drain, she and Mad Harriet are assisting Lena Luthor.

- Lena Luthor: She is the main antagonist of the Lego DC Super Hero Girls series. Unlike the main series, instead of avenging her brother's arrest at the hands of the heroes, she wishes to surpass him as a true supervillain, but she never succeeds. She's developed a series of Kryptomites with one of six different colors each, which affect everyone that comes near them by changing their emotions, such as anger, sadness, fear, distrust and forgetfulness, while the green ones only act as normal kryptonite that only affect Supergirl. She's usually seen assisting the Female Furies and Eclipso, though she always hinders the plans of the latter in the end, hindering her own plan in the process. Voiced by Romi Dames.
- Mad Harriet: She is a vicious member of The Female Furies. She wears metal claws. She appears in Lego DC Super Hero Girls: Brain Drain and voiced by Jennifer Hale.
