This is a list of the key characters in the television series, Dark Angel.

Max Guevara is a genetically enhanced transgenic super-soldier who escaped from Project Manticore. She can be identified by the bar code on the back of her neck, which reads the number 332960073452. In order to blend in with normal society, she works as a courier for Jam Pony Express, which also helps her travel with greater freedom in post-Pulse Seattle.

Max also uses her messenger job to help scout potential targets to burgle, and uses the money obtained to fund her search for her fellow Manticore escapees. Max teamed up with Eyes Only in the pilot episode, and her friends include her roommate Kendra, played by Jennifer Blanc in the first season, and her Jam Pony co-workers Original Cindy (Valarie Rae Miller), Herbal Thought (Alimi Ballard, who is not present in the second season), Sketchy (Richard Gunn), and Alec (Jensen Ackles). Jensen Ackles also appeared in the first season as Alec's twin, Ben.

Logan Cale is a cyber-journalist who uses his knowledge of computer technology to bring down the corrupt power brokers of the new millennium. Heir to a family fortune, Logan hacks into television cable networks and delivers his scathing video messages under the pseudonym and alter ego Eyes Only. Max and Logan develop a partnership and close friendship, as she helps him to take out villains, and he helps her track down her fellow Manticore escapees. He often refers to Eyes Only in the third person, even when talking to people in the know.

For Real secured their recording contract by accident. "We were picking up our manager from the airport. So we decided to greet him with an acappella song. Someone from A&M Records just happened to be in the airport and heard them perform. Not long after, they were signed," said Latanyia Baldwin.

The band released their debut album, It's a Natural Thang, with production from Brian McKnight on A&M Records in 1994, and it became a critical success, including a rare four stars from Rolling Stone magazine.

The song peaked at #54 in the UK Singles Chart in July 1995. The album sold over one million copies worldwide, and peaked at #80 on the Billboard 200.

Chloe Sullivan is a fictional character from the television series Smallville. Series regular Allison Mack has portrayed the character since the pilot episode; two other actresses performed the role of Chloe Sullivan as a child. The character was created exclusively for Smallville, by series developers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar. By the time of the tenth season, she and Clark Kent are the only two remaining characters from the first season of the show, though Mack only signed on for five episodes of the tenth and final season. Chloe has also appeared in various literature based on Smallville, an internet series, and DC Comics Universe comic books.

In Smallville, Chloe is Clark Kent's best friend, and the editor of the high school newspaper the Torch; she notices that the meteor rocks (kryptonite) are mutating the citizens of Smallville. She generally teams up with Clark and Pete Ross in tracking and stopping meteor-infected people from harming other citizens. In the first four seasons, Chloe harbors an unrequited love for Clark, but eventually accepts her place as his best friend and nothing more. In later seasons, Chloe discovered that she had a meteor rock power of her own; the character of Jimmy Olsen was introduced, whom Chloe dates, marries, and eventually divorces. She eventually finds romance with Oliver Queen, otherwise known as the costumed vigilante-archer Green Arrow, whom she eventually marries.
