Added DiffLines:

* ArchEnemy: She seems to be working her way to becoming this for Diana and the original Avengers, given that she has been the catalyst so far for every major event related to the Phase One segment of the MCU.


Added DiffLines:

* BigBad: She is shaping up to be this for the Phase One portion of the story, as she was responsible for the Grootslang attack, Obadiah and Raza's campaign against Tony, and giving Loki the information that allowed him to release Herakles (though she admits the latter was largely unintentional). It is also implied that she knows about Thanos and his plans to attack Earth to acquire the Tesseract, and plans to take advantage of the inevitable assault for her own gain.

* CoolAunt: Granted they don't properly meet until Tony is an adult but Diana quickly fills this role for him. She tells him stories about what inspired humanities myths, brings him gifts and occasioanly mothers him.

* FamilyOfChoice: As well as her unconventional ‘family ties’ to Tony and Natasha, Diana is officially considered an aunt by Sharon Carter, Peggy’s niece; Sharon muses at one point that when she was a child, Peggy was her role model while Diana was the ‘fun aunt’ who played with her.

* MusclesAreMeaningless: She's described as smaller than the more muscular men around her. She's also able to casually toss a ''tank'' around and knock the Iron Monger armor back from one hit.

* SuperpowerLottery: Has Super Strength on the same level as Hulk and Thor as well as SuperSpeed, and is [[SuperToughness capable of taking hits from the likes of]] [[PhysicalGod Ares and Herakles]]. Diana also has the Lasso of Hestia in addition to the Sword of Athena, the Shield of Achilles, and her armor. Her Bracelets of Submission are virtually indestructible but most devastatingly she has her divine powers which when fully unleashed can create enormous shockwaves which can form a miniature Grand Canyon.

* WorldsStrongestMan: This guy makes the Hulk look like a ''joke''. He managed to almost kill all the Olympian gods, and it took Zeus himself to stop him -- and unlike Ares, who was jumped up on an empowered domain, he did it with his natural abilities, with his famous Twelve Labors acting as his TrainingFromHell. According to both Diana and Thor, there is no theoretical limit to his strength, and Diana (at this point the WorldsBestWarrior) admits that if she fought him, all it would take is one mistake for him to kill her. Note that Diana is empowered with the blessings of all twelve of the Olympians and was specifically conceived to kill gods like Herakles. ''That's'' how strong Herakles is.

Added DiffLines:

* BigBadDuumvirate: He is (unknowingly) this with Ares during the fic's WWII arc. Though, it's fairly one-sided, as Schmidt arguably only became a big enough threat to Diana because of Ares' manipulations.


Added DiffLines:

* BigBadDuumvirate: With the Red Skull in the 40s portion, though Ares is clearly the more dangerous and powerful of the pair, and Schmidt is only at his current level of threat thanks to Ares' unknowing assistance.

!!''Harold "Happy" Hogan''
Officially Tony's bodyguard and a former boxer.
----
* ActorAllusion: Happy Hogan's reflection on his boxing career can also be seen as a reference to Creator/JonFavreau's character arc as Pete Becker in ''Series/{{Friends}}'', as both attempted a career as a professional fighter only to find that they actually weren't that good at it (with the exception that Happy accepted that he wasn't good at it and moved on where Pete refused to give up despite taking numerous painful beatings).

* MayflyDecemberFriendship: As noted by Circe, Diana, as a god, is doomed to outlive every mortal she will ever care about. In fact, it's already happened with Howard, who Diana considered a brother in everything but blood.
* MistakenForRomance: Frequently with Tony, due to Tony's reputation. Even Pepper, Tony's ''actual'' love interest, mistook her for one of his flings, until she saw them interacting with each other as basically aunt and nephew (or even mother and son).



* BloodKnight: Thor debuts with this attitude, angry at being exiled to Earth for trying to attack the Frost Giants. When he engages the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents guarding Mjölnir, Thor initially enjoys fighting them in his currently powerless state as it gives him an actual challenge for the first time in centuries.

* AuthorityInNameOnly: She's acknowledged by numerous gods of other pantheons as the Heiress of Olympus and Zeus' rightful successor as ruler of the Greek Pantheon. However, the title is essentially meaningless as Olympus has long since been destroyed and sealed off, with the rest of the Olympians, including her father, dead. With Ares dead as well, the only other living Greek Gods seen besides Diana are Circe and Herakles, neither of whom will submit to whatever theoretical authority she has for their own reasons.
** Averted in regards to Olympus. It still exists, but it is locked in a PerpetualStorm, and apparently, Hestia is it's ruler.

* AntagonisticOffspring: To Zeus. Zeus was hardly an innocent but he did work to protect humanity and stop Ares, and ultimately what happened to Herakles was largely of his own doing more than anyone else's. The worst Zeus was guilty of was not doing more to stop Hera from antagonizing his son. Nonetheless, Herakles still despises his father even long after the god's death, and anything even remotely related to Zeus is liable to set him off.



* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Diana's Abel, being her half-brother via their father Zeus.



* HerosEvilPredecessor: He was the original Heir of Olympus before Diana, and was so strong that it is very likely that if he had been around, he could've stopped Ares from slaughtering the Greek Pantheon. His fall from grace is one of the reasons why Diana was conceived in the first place.



* MirrorCharacter: For all that he and Hera hated each other, they had a lot in common. Hera was unable to retaliate against Zeus for his constant public infidelity and so took her rage out on his children. Herakles was unable to retaliate against Hera for constantly messing with his life so he took his rage out on her worshippers. Finally, their rivalry ends disastrously for both of them: had Herakles not attacked her temple then it's possible that she would not have cursed him with the madness that caused him to kill his family and eventually led to him being sealed beneath Mount Olympus for 5000 years. Had Hera not cursed Herakles then he might have been there to fight Ares and she and the other Olympians might have avoided their deaths.

* TangledFamilyTree: Hippolyta and him used to be lovers, their relationship ending when he had her and the rest of the Amazons enslaved. This crime is one of the reasons why Zeus had Herakles sealed within Mount Olympus after defeating him. Subsequently, during Ares's rampage, Zeus slept with his son's former lover in order to conceive Diana.

* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Comes up more than once during her time with the Howling Commandos, after her centuries of living on Thermyscira, to the point that she doesn't realize why the twelve-year-old Eric Lensherr became uncomfortable at the idea of accompanying her and Peggy to the baths in Wakanda.

* MadeOfIron: Diana is extremely tough capable of shrugging of damage that even a Super Soldier like Steve would be downed by. After fully unlocking her divinity she can take multiple blows from the likes of Herakles without a bruise. Lampshaded by Bucky who at one points asks what Diana is made of after seeing her smash through buildings with her body.



* SemiDivine: Subverted. While she has mortal lineage, she's actually a full god, in part due to being blessed by eleven of the Twelve Olympians and deliberately empowered by her father so she would be able to kill Ares. 'Demigod' is more to denote her heritage than her actual status.
