Cast
- Bryan Cranston as Titanium Rex, the aged leader of the League of Freedom and main character. Mirroring Superman, he is a superpowered man who wears a cape, and happens to be the last of his kind. (although his kind were simply humans who lived underground). Active since the late 30s, His leadership stems from his super strength, flight, adaptability, and great wisdom. However, his old age hinders him in many ways (i.e, back pain, bladder issues, erectile dysfunction) to which he is pressured by many to retire. He has affairs with multiple women, to which lead to plot-affecting consequences. His left hand is naturally composed of titanium, and it can fire devastating plasma beams.
- Tucker Gilmore as Black Saturn, a brooding black and purple clad vigilante highly reminiscent of Batman (with a slight resemblance to Bass). He has a wide array of gadgets, with large ring-shaped boomerangs being his usual weapon of choice. Unlike Batman, his wealthy parents are still alive and despise him for his immaturity, overdependence, and refusal to get a job. He easily gets jealous and throws tantrums akin to an adolescent.
- Keegan-Michael Key as American Ranger, an exceedingly patriotic superhero (analog to Captain America) who served in the original League along with Rex and Omega Ted. Ranger was placed in a time tunnel after serving in World War II. 70 years later, he rejoins the League after being defrosted by a garbageman. Unlike his wife and Titanium Rex, Ranger hasn't aged due to his preservation. A running gag is that Ranger believes things during his era are still relevant, such as Nazi Germany being intact, the Japanese attacking America, and being unable to grasp the concept of a black president.
- Zeb Wells as Jewbot, an introspective and soft-spoken robot man. Initially called Robobot, he renames himself Jewbot after discovering his creator was Jewish and after befriending a rabbi who granted him a hat. He is seen as the brains of the group.
- Tom Root as Brad, an unreliable, colossal pink man with blue hair who is a spoof of Hulk. His strength and large stature come from a pink super serum, as well as cocaine and heroin. Despite his good nature, he secretly discusses gambling and drug deals over the phone.
- Heidi Gardner as Cooch, an anthropomorphic female cat with a southern accent. Crude, filthy, promiscuous, and very distractable, she however proves useful when the need arises. She has an ongoing on/off relationship with Brad.
- Jillian Bell as Lex Lightning, a beautiful young woman who is Titanium Rex's illegitimate daughter. She visits the League to catch up with her father and become a member of the League, but is denied multiple times. Although Rex wants no business with her at first, he later accepts responsibility and becomes a great parent for her.She also begins a relationship with Saturn, She betrays the team in the first-season finale revealing that her mother is Frau Mantis an enemy of Rex whom he had an affair and wanted revenge on Rex for not saving her mother, she also has the ability to change gender, Rex blinds her by using his powers which he didn't teach her (Spoofing Supergirl).
- Clark Duke as Groaner, a clown with an Afro and a skull for a head. After being held captive by the League for dangerous pranks, he often assist the heroes with dirty work and has a hostile-to-friendly rivalry with Black Saturn. (spoofing the Joker)
- Keegan-Michael Key as Sgt Agony spoofing Nick Fury is a military grade accountant who tries everything in his power to end the League of Freedom.
- Seth Green as various characters.
