What is the player-created character called in Lego DC Super-Villains?

The player-created character in Lego DC Super-Villains is called The Rookie.

The Rookie is unusual in the Lego video-game series because the custom character is not merely an avatar used for free play. Players design the character’s appearance, name, fighting style, and later powers, while the Rookie becomes a central figure in the game’s story.

The plot begins after the Rookie is captured and transferred to Stryker’s Island. The character possesses a previously unseen ability to absorb energy and gain new superpowers, which makes the Rookie valuable to Lex Luthor and the Legion of Doom. The Rookie eventually becomes deeply involved in the villains’ conflict with the Justice Syndicate and Darkseid.

Players also make a major ending choice: the Rookie can join the Justice League or remain with the Legion of Doom. Names such as “The Recruit” or “The Outsider” may sound plausible, but they are not the character’s canonical name.
