The Security Guard, often unnamed, is a recurring, albeit minor, character archetype within the DC Comics universe. He typically appears as an employee of Wayne Enterprises, LexCorp, or other organizations that frequently become targets for supervillains or are involved in shadowy activities.

His primary role is to provide a human element amidst the extraordinary events. He is usually depicted as an ordinary individual caught in the crossfire of superhero battles or villainous schemes. Often shown as surprised or frightened, the Security Guard rarely possesses any superpowers or exceptional skills.

While individually inconsequential to the overarching narratives, Security Guards collectively represent the vulnerable populace affected by the actions of both heroes and villains. Their presence highlights the dangers faced by ordinary people in a world populated by metahumans and super-powered conflicts, grounding the fantastical elements in a sense of reality.

He represents the everyday person living and working in a world of gods and monsters.
