Teekl II - Young Justice: Phantoms

The second familiar of the Lord of Chaos Klarion, after the death of his first one at the hands of Flaw, Teekl II is his anchor on the Earthly plane. She shared a striking resemblance to her namesake. However, due to her age and unfamiliarity with magic, she is far less powerful than the original Teekl, forcing Klarion to be a lot more careful and protective over her. She is regularly doted upon by her new master. 

Surviving Child's last stand outside the ruins of the Tower of Fate, Teekl II and Klarion said farewell to the Sentinels of Magic and returned to the Warworld. She would remain by his side, acting as his conscious, curbing his more impulsive and rash desires in the same manner Teekl I had done. While he often got exasperated and snapped at her for doing this, he found it a pleasant reminder of his best friend. 

On September 6th, 2020, Teekl and Klarion were summoned to the rebuilt Tower of Fate by Zatanna Zatara, watching as his master overpowered the five heroes. However, before he could kill them, Zatanna invoked the Lords of Chaos. Speaking through the kitten, they force Klarion to honour the debt he owed her for bringing him back to the mortal plane. Sparing their lives, which he concluded to be a satisfactory boon, the pair left the Tower. 

Not wishing to endanger her in the Phantom Zone unnecessarily, Klarion left her asleep on the command console of the Warworld, while he hunted down and captured the Kryptonian prisoners on behalf of the Light. 

Red Hood - Injustice 2: Arcade Ending: Red Hood

The alter ego of Jason Todd, Red Hood is a vigilante operating during Brainiac's invasion of Earth. Joining the uneasy alliance between Batman's Justice League and Superman's One Earth Regime, he fought his way onto the Coluan's Skull Ship and shot Brainiac dead, ending any further threats from the alien conqueror.

Despite Brainiac's death, the conflict persisted, reigniting the battle between Batman and Superman. Not wishing to see another five years of countless injured, displaced, missing, or deceased heroes, villains, and innocents, he deserted the team. While he understood both points of view and somewhat agreed that some criminals deserved to die, he chose not to align himself with either faction.

Since their dogmatic war often overlooked the innocent people in Gotham caught in the crossfire, he took to the streets independently, meting out his own form of justice and making the city a safer place. Among those he fought was Professor Pyg, whom he executed before the serial killer could murder a young woman named Sasha, who Valentin had tried—and failed—to convert into one of his Dollotrons.
