History Characters / AgentsOfSHIELD

** BadassLongcoat

* AllThereInTheManual: It's mainly in the shorts he has any role at all.

** Finally made his debut on Earth-616 (Main line of comics) on the Mini-Series Battle Scars. He isn't revealed as Coulson until issue #6 though.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives one to Loki, followed up by blasting him with a BFG.

An agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Nick Fury's right-hand-man. He was first introduced trying to debrief Stark of his captivity by the Ten Rings, and later assisting him in pursuing the Iron Monger and curing his poisoning. Some time later, he was assigned to excavating Mjolnir, and bumped heads with Thor and his new human companions. Those efforts paid off in recruiting the Norse god to the Avengers, and he remained a major figure in escorting the heroes.

* DefiantToTheEnd: Even when mortally wounded by Loki, Coulson refuses to let the demigod talk him down.
-->'''Coulson:''' '''[[{{BFG}} [BOOM]]]''' Oh, so that's what it does.

* WithMyHandsTied: [[spoiler:Rather than use his pistol against ''two robbers with shotguns'', he kindly slides it over to them before defeating them with [[ImprovisedWeapon a sack of flour]] and martial arts skills]].

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Not long after her introduction, after hearing [[BadassInCharge Nick Fury]] get shot, she leaves with a small team and a truck, to chase after [[spoiler:[[BigBad Loki]], and the BrainwashedAndCrazy crew of an unnamed {{SHIELD}} agent, {{Hawkeye}}, and [[TheProfessor Erik]] [[{{Film/Thor}} Selvig]] to try to take back the [[AppliedPhlebotinum Tesseract]]]] without even being ordered. She ends up with her truck facing the opposition head on, with them firing at each other through windshields until she is forced to move away, surviving a crash not long after.

!!''Clint Barton / {{Hawkeye}}''

* DoesNotLikeGuns: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-Zagged]]. On one hand he willing handed over his gun to two armed robbers before suddenly beating them in hand-to-hand combat. On the other hand, he wielded a BFG to use against Loki. Maybe because Loki is tougher than your average robber.

An agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. who is an AcePilot and weapons expert. She is a member of Agent Coulson's team that is assembled to investigate strange events around the world.

An anti-social Level Six agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. with a strong moral foundation. He is a member of Agent Coulson's team that is assembled to investigate strange events around the world.

An agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. who is expert engineer. He works alongside Jemma Simmons, with the two of them sharing a close friendship. He is a member of Agent Coulson's team that is assembled to investigate strange events around the world.

An agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. who specializes in biology and chemistry. She works alongside Leo Fitz, with the two of them sharing a close friendship. She is a member of Agent Coulson's team that is assembled to investigate strange events around the world.

* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Averted. After a grenade knocks her off her feet, she gets a cut on her forehead and cheek (as shown), and both stay there for the rest of the movie.

!SHIELD Leadership

Nick Fury's aide and an espionage SHIELD agent. Clear-minded and pragmatic, she carries out his orders, though his seemingly reckless approach doesn't increase her trust of him.

A secretive international group in charge of SHIELD. Nick Fury reports directly to them... but he doesn't always agree with them.

** BadassNormal: SHIELD agent responsible for handling jerkasses in PoweredArmor and investigating mysterious aliens objects.

-->'''Coulson''': I need the full power of SHIELD's legal team STAT. We need to limit how much actual meat you need to legally call something "meatloaf". We could save the [school] budget, man!

* HeelFaceTurn: She used to be a TrueNeutral assassin, [[spoiler:but made her change after Hawkeye chose not to kill her when on a mission to do so]].

* ProfessionalKiller: Before joining SHIELD.

A Level Six Agent of SHIELD. Like Coulson, he is frequently sent across the globe to handle what Fury can't.

* ObfuscatingStupidity: He's says he does "a great patsy", and offers to do it so SHIELD can sabotage General Ross's meeting with Fury.

* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem / ExactWords: Sitwell is ordered to [[DeadlyEuphemism neutralize]] [[OutlawCouple Benny and Claire]]. [[spoiler:He does so by hiring them to SHIELD, putting them to work on reverse-engineering Chitauri weapons.]]

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Of Coulson after his "death". While he's appeared beforehand in the films, ''Item 47'' hinted he would take Phil's place as the everyman of SHIELD. Agent Blake even accidentally calls him "Coulson" due to force of habit. However, this was negated when Coulson was revealed to be alive. Ironically, in the comics Sitwell has been around since the 60's, whereas Coulson is a very recent CanonImmigrant, so you'd think it would be the other way around.

An agent of SHIELD in charge of surveillance. After [[OutlawCouple Benny and Clyde]] get on the organization's radar due to their robberies, he tasks Sitwell with retrieving the alien ArmCannon known as Item 47.

An agent of SHIELD who is an AcePilot and weapons expert. She is a member of Agent Coulson's team that is assembled to investigate strange events around the world.

An anti-social Level Six agent of SHIELD with a strong moral foundation. He is a member of Agent Coulson's team that is assembled to investigate strange events around the world.

An agent of SHIELD who is expert engineer. He works alongside Jemma Simmons, with the two of them sharing a close friendship. He is a member of Agent Coulson's team that is assembled to investigate strange events around the world.

An agent of SHIELD who specializes in biology and chemistry. She works alongside Leo Fitz, with the two of them sharing a close friendship. She is a member of Agent Coulson's team that is assembled to investigate strange events around the world.

A civilian hacker who draws the attention of SHIELD and is tracked down by Agent Coulson's team.

* BoxedCrook: She starts an anti-SHIELD movement called "The Rising Tide" to reveal their coverup of the world's superheroes, but is quickly caught by them. And hired.

::In fact, this may be why he and Blake thought Coulson was still dead, because his survival was classified as Level 7.

He was first introduced trying to debrief Stark of his captivity by the Ten Rings, and later assisting him in pursuing the Iron Monger and curing his poisoning. Some time later, he was assigned to excavating Mjolnir, and bumped heads with Thor and his new human companions. Those efforts paid off in recruiting the Norse god to the Avengers, and he remained a major figure in escorting the heroes.

During the events of Loki's raid on the [[AirBorneAircraftCarrier Helicarrier]], Coulson was mortally wounded in an attempt to attack him. He was reported as dead to the Avengers and most of S.H.I.E.L.D., who promised to honor his memory and stop Loki for him. However, only the highest in S.H.I.E.L.D. knew that Coulson had actually survived, and soon after he was given in a new job in assembling a team to investigate strange events and rogue supers around the world.

The Director of [[{{SHIELD}} S.H.I.E.L.D.]] and campaigner for the Avengers Initiative. He comes to each of the heroes one by one, urging them to join SHIELD in assembling a team to protect the world from its approaching threats. Despite being personally involved in recruiting them, though, he's a busy man and has many urgent responsibilities to juggle, ''including'' dealing with his superiors, the World Security Council. Consequently, he can't always be trusted, though he can be counted on to do what he feels is right.
-----
* AntiHero: [[GoodIsNotNice Type III]]. He's a practical, levelheaded man who's ultimately fighting for the good side, but he's also a [[TheChessmaster pragmatic manipulator]] and [[GuileHero isn't above deceiving]] [[ManipulativeBastard or lying to The Avengers]] to achieve his goals, [[spoiler:such as when the team discovers that he was keeping secrets about using the Tesseract to develop weapons of mass destruction. Even Rogers became appalled with him.]] He's a good guy, but one doesn't become the world's greatest spy without learning to play the angles.
* {{Badass}}: As we see in ''The Avengers''.
** BadassNormal: Gods, aliens, a man with "breathtaking anger management issues"... all nothing he can't handle.
** BadassBeard
** BadassInCharge: Of [[SuperTeam the Avengers Initiative]].
** BadassLongcoat
* BaldOfAwesome
* BaldBlackLeaderGuy: Aside from the obvious he's a type I {{leader}}; the mastermind behind the Avengers Iniative.
* BigGood: Of ''Film/TheAvengers''.
* TheCameo: His appearances in most of the MCU films have largely been this, save for ''Iron Man 2'' and ''The Avengers''.
* TheChessmaster: As with Phil Coulson, this seems to be a mandatory skill for upper-level SHIELD agents.
* DeadpanSnarker
* DeathGlare: His general reaction to those he does not like, rather than actually shooting them. Not that that's any less deadly.
* [[spoiler:[[EtTuBrute Et Tu, Hawkeye?]]]]: In the opening scene of ''The Avengers'', [[spoiler:when he was shot by Hawkeye]].
* EyepatchOfPower
* HiddenDepths: Is genuinely devastated when Coulson is stabbed by Loki, and refers to the former as his one good eye.
* HumansAreWarriors
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Several times he takes unethical directions in performing actions he feels is right. Sometimes in big ways, such as [[spoiler:authorizing plans for weapons of mass destruction powered by the Tesseract, to defend Earth from extra-terrestrial threats]]. Sometimes in small nudges, like [[FatalFamilyPhoto Coulson's cards]].
-->'''Maria Hill''': Those cards, they were in Coulson's locker, not in his jacket.
-->'''Nick Fury''': [The Avengers] needed [[AndThisIsFor a push in the right direction]]. (''sees the Quinjet takes off'') They found it.
* ManipulativeBastard: Much like his comic counterpart.
-->'''[[Film/IronMan Tony Stark]]''': He is ''the'' spy. His ''secrets'' have secrets.
* MilitaryMaverick: Goes on his gut instinct instead of going along with [[ObstructiveBureaucrat the World Security Council]], which is why he trusted [[DysfunctionJunction the Avengers]] to defeat [[PhysicalGod Loki]].
* MovieSuperheroesWearBlack
* NervesOfSteel: Norse God with an alien army? Doesn't scare him.
* OnlySaneMan: Much like his comics counterpart, he generally comes across as the only person with his mind together in most of his scenes. Interestingly for this trope, instead of (or in addition to) being a constant annoyance to him, he uses his perspective and bluntness to help people and/or situations reach their potentials. ''The Avengers'' shows that he even plays this role to the [[WellIntentionedExtremist World Security Council]], his bosses.
** ''The Consultant'' reveals that in a world full of political power games, he and SHIELD are the only ones who are generally trying to handle the situation well.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure
* Creator/SamuelLJackson: This Nick Fury is based on the Ultimate Marvel Universe's Nick Fury, who was specifically modeled after Samuel L. Jackson. Jackson being [[OneOfUs a big comic book fan, especially of Fury himself]], he agreed for them to use his likeness, so long as he could play Ultimate Nick Fury if they ever made a movie with him. And sure enough...
* ScaryBlackMan
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: He's more than willing to openly defy the World Security Council when they make [[WellIntentionedExtremist harsh calls]].
--> '''World Security Council''': Director Fury, the council has made a decision.
--> '''Nick Fury''': I recognize that the council has made a decision, but given that it's a ''stupid-ass'' decision, I've elected to ignore it.
* SharpDressedMan
* SophisticatedAsHell
* TheSponsor: Mostly to Tony and Steve.
* SuperheroPackingHeat

Nick Fury's aide and an espionage SHIELD agent. Clear-minded and pragmatic, she carries out his orders, though his seemingly reckless approach doesn't increase her trust of him.
----
* ActionGirl: Though it's only shown twice so far, once being [[EstablishingCharacterMoment her first few minutes on screen]].
** AffirmativeActionGirl: It doesn't really balance it out, but it does help to decrease Black Widow's [[TheSmurfettePrinciple Smurfette]] rating.
* BadassNormal: Would have to be in order for NickFury to trust her to use a truck and a small team to [[spoiler:chase after [[PhysicalGod Loki]] and the BrainwashedAndCrazy Hawkeye]].
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Averted. After a grenade knocks her off her feet, she gets a cut on her forehead and cheek (as shown), and both stay there for the rest of the movie.
* ByTheBookCop: This creates friction with her and Fury due to his more MilitaryMaverick style, and several times she's filed reports to the WSC criticizing his actions.
* CastingGag / DevelopmentGag: Cobie Smulders in a superhero movie directed by Creator/JossWhedon? [[WhatCouldHaveBeen A long time ago]], this team-up [[Franchise/WonderWoman was planned for a DC film]].
* CommunicationsOfficer
* DeadpanSnarker: At times.
-->'''Tony Stark''': (''simulating an eyepatch while looking at two screens'') How does Fury even see these?
-->'''Maria Hill''': [[CaptainObvious He turns.]]
* DemotedToExtra / TheArtifact: Originally Hill was supposed to be narrating the film. However, the scenes of her doing so got cut out.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Not long after her introduction, after hearing [[BadassInCharge Nick Fury]] get shot, she leaves with a small team and a truck, to chase after [[spoiler:[[BigBad Loki]], and the BrainwashedAndCrazy crew of an unnamed {{SHIELD}} agent, {{Hawkeye}}, and [[TheProfessor Erik]] [[{{Film/Thor}} Selvig]] to try to take back the [[AppliedPhlebotinum Tesseract]]]] without even being ordered. She ends up with her truck facing the opposition head on, with them firing at each other through windshields until she is forced to move away, surviving a crash not long after.
* [[spoiler: TheMole]]: [[spoiler: For the World Security Council in deleted scenes, though she sides with Fury in the end.]]
* [[MovieSuperheroesWearBlack Movie Superheroines Wear Black]]: Dark blue, actually, but still looks like black from a distance.
* NumberTwo: To Nick Fury.
* ScullyBox: It's hard to see in some shots, but Hill's boots have significant heel to them. Most likely due the fact that while CobieSmulders is fairly tall at 5'9'', she's frequently next to Samuel L. Jackson, who's 6'2''.
* SpyCatsuit
* [[SuperheroPackingHeat Superheroine Packing Heat]]
* TheWatson: At times to Nick Fury.

----
* CosmopolitanCouncil
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: [[spoiler:When they decide to nuke Manhattan, they launch two jets just in case S.H.I.E.L.D. manages to stop one.]]
* EvilIsNotWellLit: It must be hard to see anything or write notes in such rooms.
* TheFaceless / FaceFramedInShadow: You actually can see their faces, but it takes a bit of squinting.
* FlatCharacter
* FantasticRacism: They distrust the Avengers on the basis of them being an untested "[[RagtagBunchOfMisfits handful of freaks]]". They also initially refer to Loki as merely "the Asgard", until Nick Fury corrects them.
* LawfulStupid: Hence why Fury [[MilitaryMaverick often elects to ignore their orders]].
* MisaimedFandom: In-Universe. The WSC wanted the Abomination on the Avengers instead of the Hulk, since they viewed Blonsky [[VillainWithGoodPublicity as a war hero]] and blamed Harlem's destruction on Banner. It takes a sneaky BatmanGambit from SHIELD to have their request for Blonsky to be denied.
** [[spoiler:Later, Steve Rogers finds they've been collecting old HYDRA tech, as they've been studying them so they too can create Tesseract powered weaponry.]]
* ObstructiveBureaucrat: Mostly to Nick Fury, but there's also some directed to Coulson.
* TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness
* [[spoiler:NukeEm]]
* [[StrawCharacter Strawmen Political:]] They basically exist to make Fury look right in spite of his MilitaryMaverick attitude, most notably when they opt to [[spoiler: immediately nuke New York rather than send the National Guard, give the Avengers more time, or ''anything'' else.]]

* MovieSuperheroesWearBlack: Though he's justified, seeing as he's a marksman, and mildly subverted as its based off his Ultimates incarnation, though that series was written as if it was a film. Somewhat played straight concerning his bow; Hawkeye primarily used a bright yellow longbow in the comics, until he gave it to [[LegacyCharacter Kate]] [[YoungAvengers Bishop]], to which he started used different coloured bows of many different designs. In the films, he uses a compound bow in ''Thor'', and a collapsible recurve in ''The Avengers'', both of which are coloured black.

* UnfazedEveryman: There really isn't anything that can surprise him, be it thunder gods, men in metal suits, or WWII vets who were frozen for the better part of a century. Well, the WWII vet gets a reaction, but only because [[TheKnightsWhoSaySquee he's]] a giant {{fanboy}}. Justified in that it's implied that this kind of stuff is just what S.H.I.E.L.D. ''does''.

* CanonImmigrant: Finally made his debut on Earth-616 (Main line of comics) on the Mini-Series Battle Scars. He isn't revealed as Coulson until issue #6 though.
