* AlliterativeName: '''Gr'''eer '''Gr'''ant.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Cat, but also tiger.
* ArchEnemy: ComicBook/TheHood after he and his gang gave her a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown because another villain asked him to do so in exchange for his advice. Tigra gets her revenge when, at the end of Dark Reign, she corners him and talks at length about how she wants to kill him... and then doesn't. [[CruelMercy Instead she simply brings in his wife so she'll know who he is and what he's done and never let him near her or his daughter again]].
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Tigra's fairly nice and even a little flirtatious normally. Keep in mind that this is a woman that had a conversation with X-23 about the best way to eviscerate a person.
* CatGirl: The Cat was once a costumed heroine who used a powered costume, but a ritual was performed on her, transforming her into the werecat Tigra. There's a tug-of-war between her human and feline instincts and which has the upper hand tends to [[DependingOnTheWriter depend on the writer]]. One day she's able to fly interstellar spacecraft, the next she's chasing and eating mice and unable to speak (except in cat noises.)
* CatsHateWater: Tigra used to be deathly afraid of water, though she seems to have at least somewhat gotten over it.
* ChildByRape: Has a BedTrick one in the form of her son who was conceived [[spoiler:by Skrull doppelganger pretending to be Hank Pym who seduced and impregnated Tigra. Despite this, she still loves her son, but responds with barely veiled rage when his Skrull parentage is brought up.]]
* DatingCatwoman: In a miniseries from 2002, Greer (using the false name of Greer Sorenson) infiltrated a police academy hoping to find answers about the death of her husband Billy. While there she met and fell in love with Sergeant Matt [=McMullin=], an instructor at the academy. Unfortunately, Greer discovered that Matt was involved with a group of vigilante cops called the Brethren of the Blue Fist. Worse, it was revealed that Matt had killed Billy to stop him from exposing the Brethren's crimes.
* TheDragAlong: Didn't want or even ask to be involved in the events of ''Defenders: Beyond'', but magic spells don't really care about little things like that.
* HalfHumanHybrid: She is a human woman turned half-tiger thanks to magic. And ''then'' she... [[spoiler: went and got knocked up by a Skrull pretending to be Henry Pym. Which would make her child half-Skrull, one-quarter human and one-quarter magic tiger.]] The disguise was so good that the [[spoiler:Skrull imposter only gave Hank Pym's DNA, so the child is three-quarters human, one-quarter magic tiger.]]
* HealingFactor: If Tigra is injured, she is capable of regenerating damaged tissue faster than an ordinary human. She can heal injuries as severe as broken bones within a matter of days. However, she is unable to regenerate missing limbs, organs, or brain cells.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Her romantic history is a mess to say the least. Her first late husband was a chauvanist beat-cop who tried to strong arm her [[StayInTheKitchen into being a housewife despite her contrary wishes.]] She then courted another cop who [[spoiler:ended up being the man who murdered her late husband.]] Her next lovers were various and none lasted for long while the man who would bear her a child ended up being [[spoiler:an alien spy.]]
* HotTeacher: After joining Avenger's Academy, Tigra's definitely this. {{Lampshaded}} several times by the students, but especially when she meets Emma Frost in issue #22.
--> '''Emma Frost''': By the way, darling, I love your outfit. Don't let anyone tell you it's inappropriate for a teacher.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: In ''Defenders: Beyond'', when stuck in a LotusEaterMachine that shows everyone their greates desire, Greer's is being a respected A-List hero.
* JackOfAllStats: Tigra has impressive strength, speed, agility, healing and combat skills but is surpassed in one area each by another Avenger.
* LegacyCharacter: Greer is in fact not the first Tigra. In West Coast Avengers, Volume 2, Issue 6, it is revealed that the first Tigra was also a woman who was transformed into a cat person by the original two Cat People, Flavius and Helene.
* MostCommonSuperpower: Made especially obvious by her usual attire.
* MsFanservice: Tigra is a twofer, being a CatGirl who walks around wearing naught but a bikini. Later books have tried to justify this with Tigra saying wearing anything else over a full coat of fur would result in heatstroke, and the bikini is pretty much for modesty's sake.
* MyInstinctsAreShowing: Tigra originally struggled to control her cat-like urges and desires. After her "Human" and "Cat" souls were fused, it ceased to be an issue.
* NaturalWeapon: Her claws and fangs.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Tigra's power set isn't as impressive compared to a lot of the other Avengers. As she herself once said, "I can't fly. I don't teleport. I'm not a god of any type. I'm just... me."
* PrimaryColorChampion: As The Cat, Greer wore a yellow and blue costume.
* ReallyGetsAround: Known for being very sexually active and having had a lot of partners.
* SexyCatPerson: She's basically a humanoid tigress, and she's certainly gorgeous.
* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: She has pretty green eyes and her fiery red hair remains in cat form.
* StatuesqueStunner: She stands at 5'10"/178cm tall and very much attractive.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: She runs around in a bikini!. Counts as FridgeBrilliance when you consider the West Coast Manor is in California, and its probably hot enough for her already, as she's covered in fur 24/7. She even lampshades this in an issue of ''Avengers Academy'' where the students and the Runaways meet up.
* SuperSenses: Tigra's senses are about ten times as keen as an average human's, and about five times that of an average cat's. She also has a rarely used sixth sense that allows her to sense the emotions of others on a basic level.
* SuperReflexes: Tigra has incredible reflexes. She was able to dodge Ragnarok's hammer after it was thrown at her, and showed incredible flexibility while training White Tiger and again when slipping out of restraints that would've easily held a normal person.
* SuperSpeed: While not a speedster by any means, Tigra can move pretty fast if she wants to.
* SuperStrength: Though it's not usually played up, Tigra's officially as physically powerful as Spider-Man.
* SuperToughness: Tigra's physiology makes her much tougher than an ordinary person. Her body is able to withstand great impact forces and blunt trauma that would severely injure or kill a normal human, though she is far from invulnerable.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Tigra possesses a mystical talisman that allows her to change her appearance from feline to human at will. She rarely uses it and only appears in her human form when circumstances require it. She regards her feline body as her natural form.
* WolverineClaws: Tigra's claws are extremely sharp and tough.

Doctor Druid
''The Avengers'' #326 (November, 1990)

At age 13, Elvin Haliday
was a psychiatrist who was attracted exposed to the mystic arts. After toxic waste after hiding from bullies that attacked him for being trained in their neighborhood. Returning to his grandmother's home, Elvin was nursed back to health. The chemicals caused Elvin's teenage body to grow into adulthood in a matter of weeks, but also endowed him with superhuman strength, speed, and stamina. Encouraged by his grandmother to use his newfound abilities for good, Elvin adopted a Tibetan Lama, Druid gained mastery over some mystic arts.costume and name: Rage.



* AlliterativeName: '''D'''octor '''D'''ruid.
* BestialityIsDepraved: His son Sebastian Druid appears as a member of Nick Fury's Secret Warriors, and is said to have monster blood in him.
* BackFromTheDead: In ''Dr. Strange, Surgeon Supreme'', he left Weirdworld and came back for real.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy:
** His Avengers membership was tainted when he was mind controlled by supervillainess the Terminatrix (at the time impersonating the space pirate Nebula) into manipulating the team on her behalf. While in this state, he even assumed chairmanship of the team for a very short period, though only because he rigged the election by controlling the minds of other members and forcing them to vote for him. When "Nebula" was cast into Limbo, Druid followed, as he was still under her thrall. He eventually regained control of his own mind and returned to Earth.
** As leader of the Secret Defenders, he was once again victimized by a villain's mind control, this time by the demon Slorioth.
* {{Druid}}: He was said to carry with him the ancient powers/knowledge of the Britons.
* EnlightenmentSuperpowers
* FallenHero: In the time leading up to Damion Hellstrom's murder of Druid, he'd become a murderous psychopath and cult leader, and his time on Weirdworld had him become a tyrant.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: During Stern's run on the Avengers, pretty much any interaction with him had everyone coming away thinking what an ass he was.
* {{Geas}}: When he gained his new powers in the ''ComicBook/Druid1995'' series, they were accompanied by a geis that he must not break. However, as his own powers couldn't see the nature of the geis, and Ludgate was the ''last'' druid, with no colleagues who could tell him, he didn't learn what it was until he hooked up with the witch Nekra Sinclair -- at which point he lost his magics and discovered that he's not supposed to love witches. Nekra, a LoveInterestTraitor working for Daimon Hellstrom, had seemingly known this all along.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: In ''ComicBook/Druid1995'' he snapped and became a SociopathicHero, leading to his murder by Nekra and Daimon Hellstrom. Then he was among the reanimated Avengers who rebelled against both the Grim Reaper and Amatsu-Mikaboshi. In the 2016 ''ComicBook/SquadronSupreme'' series.

* ArchnemesisDad: A variant; her grandfather's Terrigenesis drove him insane, and he became the GaiasVengeance-themed WellIntentionedExtremist known as the Shredded Man.
* LivingLieDetector: Under Cable's tutelage, Synapse realized that she has a synaesthetic reaction to other people's thoughts. When someone is telling the truth, she registers it as smelling like seaweed, while lies smell like strawberries.
* OnlySaneMan: Synapse is not a fan of the Terrigen Clouds and thinks the Inhumans are not doing enough to help stop the problems they cause. In issue #6 of Uncanny Avengers volume 3, she calls out ''Medusa'' to her face on the fact that the Shredded Man would never have become so dangerous if the Inhumans hadn't carelessly unleashed the Terrigen Clouds, and advocates the Inhumans burn the Clouds out of the atmosphere before they do any more harm.
* {{Telepathy}}: Distinguished by it being presented less as interacting with minds but more remotely interfacing with animal nervous systems and biology connected to it.
* TokenMinority: She's the only Inhuman member on the team.
** TwoferTokenMinority: Her family is half Irish, half Mexican.

* TheBabyOfTheBunch: She's probably the youngest Avenger so far, even with the rapid aging. Eventually, age starts catching up to her.
* BrattyHalfPint: For a period, which is probably not helped by being raised by Rocket Raccoon in the dystopian ''Heroes Reborn'' reality, a rapid PlotRelevantAgeUp which meant she lacked the emotional maturity to deal with her powers, and the somewhat murderous default settings of the Starbrand power. Captain America mildly but pointedly knocks her out of it by telling her about her mother.
* FantasticAngst: Underneath her bravado, she's very aware that she's going to burn out soon, and feels like she lives only to fight. With the help of the other Avengers, she starts finding other things to live for and enjoy while she's alive.
* FantasticRacism: During her BrattyHalfPint period. She grows out of it.
* FlyingBrick: On a cosmic scale, and that's just the start of her powers.
* GooGooGodlike: She's got the power to destroy planets, plural, and she's introduced as an adorable baby. An adorable... floating baby.
* LittleMissBadass: A young girl who utterly beats up Doctor Spectrum and helps in defeating the Squadron Supreme. Even as a ''baby'', she's willing to attack Khonshu-empowered Moon Knight - and powerful enough that neither Captain Marvel nor Iron Man can steer her.
* LittleMissSnarker: Having an alternate Rocket Raccoon as a parent left her pretty snarky.
* PlotRelevantAgeUp: She began as a baby, growing into a young girl during ''ComicBook/HeroesReborn2021'', before aging all the way to a young adult during the fight against the Multiversal Masters of Evil.
* RapidAging: The more she uses her powers, the faster she ages, risking total burnout. She seems to be reconciled to it, though the other Avengers are worried for her.
* RuleOfSymbolism: She's got a lot of star themed gear.
* TookALevelInKindness: After her second age-up, which makes her a young woman and takes her past the BrattyHalfPint stage.

!!Swordsman
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2310795_swordsman.jpg]]

!!! '''Alter Ego:''' Jacques Duquesne
!!! '''Team Affiliations:''' ComicBook/TheAvengers
!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''The Avengers'' Vol. 1 #19 (August, 1965)

Beginning his career as a circus performer where he helped train a young Hawkeye, Jacques Duquesne later became the costumed mercenary Swordsman. He joined the Avengers, at first for nefarious reasons, but soon resolved to become a true Avenger when he fell in love with Mantis.
----
* BackFromTheDead: In the 2010 ''Dead Avengers'' miniseries, The Swordsman was one of a number of dead Avengers resurrected by the Chaos King, and apparently survived the end of ''ComicBook/ChaosWar'', unlike several of the others in that group.
* ButtMonkey: In Englehart's run. It even gets to the extent that the LemonyNarrator insults him over the scene of his damn funeral.
* CarnivalOfKillers: He got his start performing at the Carson Carnival of Traveling Wonders.
* CoolSword: His sword shoots out [[ShockAndAwe lightning]], [[PlayingWithFire fire]] and [[EnergyWeapon laser beams]].
* DisappearedDad: He didn't even know he had a daughter, Adelynn Duquesne, who became Swordswoman.
* EvilMentor: Initially to Hawkeye. Seeing great potential in him, he and Trickshot trained the boy in blades and archery respectively, with Clint often being a secondary performer in the Swordsman's act.
* FrenchJerk: French and could be quite the jerk.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: When he joins the Avengers, he develops a crush on Scarlet Witch. Ordered by The Mandarin to plant a bomb in the Avengers HQ, he fears she will be injured. Eventually he has second thoughts and tries to dismantle the bomb...but he's caught in the act, and the Avengers think that he's setting the bomb instead of already having set it and now trying to get rid of it. With them already having been suspicious of him and with the real explanation not likely to do him any favors ("No, you don't understand! Sure, I planned to blow you all up ''before'' and I planted this bomb to do that earlier, but that was then! Now I'm trying to disarm the bomb, I swear!"), the Swordsman goes on the run after a fight and, perhaps for lack of any better options, goes back to being a villain for a number of years, often teaming up with the original Power Man.
* HeroicSacrifice: Saving Mantis by getting in the way of Kang's force-blast.
* LoveRedeems: His attraction to the Scarlet Witch would have led him to betray The Mandarin and join the Avengers for real, if not for a misunderstanding. His love for Mantis not only motivated him to get his life together after he'd been reduced to a shell of his old self, but to join the Avengers again, ''this'' time for real.
* LegacyCharacter: Three people have taken the Swordsman codename; Philip Javert, Andreas Strucker and his Cotati template.
* MasterSwordsman: He is a master of bladed weapons, most notably all forms of the sword.
* TheMole: The Mandarin sent a faked message from Iron Man asking the Avengers to allow the Swordsman to join them. Although they suspected a trap, he was allowed to become a member. k
%%* PurpleIsPowerful: His costume was purple and he was Hawkeye's mentor.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: A variant. The Swordsman had reformed and joined the team proper some time before this, but he was often somewhat ineffectual; it didn't help that he both got stuck in a wheelchair, ''and'' got sick. This comes to a head when Kang captures the rest of the team, only leaving Swordsman because he considered him 'useless'. (Hawkeye was spared as well, but only because he wasn't a member of the team at the time.) The two of them, after saving Vision, then invade Kang's base, with the Swordsman largely responsible for saving the rest of the group. And finally, in a final HeroicSacrifice, he saves his love Mantis from Kang; by the time of his death, he had proved to both the team, to Mantis, and to himself, that he was truly a worthy Avenger after-all.
* SleevesAreForWimps: His outfit lacked sleeves.
* WorfHadTheFlu: He gets wounded in a fight early in his tenure with the team, and he tries to tough it out and keep fighting with the team rather than getting it properly treated and taking the time to heal up. While he's doing this to prove himself to both the team and Mantis, he isn't very effective in his weakened condition, which results in Mantis losing respect for him.

!!! '''Alter Ego:''' Greer Grant Nelson
!!! '''Notable Aliases:''' The Cat, Greer Sorenson, the Werecat, the Were-Woman
!!! '''Team Affiliations:''' ComicBook/TheAvengers, ComicBook/WestCoastAvengers, ComicBook/SecretAvengers
!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''The Claws of the Cat'' #1 (November, 1972) [[note]]As the Cat[[/note]]; ''Giant-Size Creatures'' #1 (July, 1974) [[note]]As Tigra[[/note]]

Tigra (Greer Grant Nelson) is a fictional superheroine appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Introduced as the non-superpowered crime fighter the Cat in The Claws of the Cat #1 (November 1972). The character was created by writer-editor Roy Thomas and artist Wally Wood (Marie Severin was then brought in to help layout the art), with her early adventures written by Linda Fite. She mutated into the super powered tiger-woman Tigra in Giant-Size Creatures #1 (July 1974), by writer Tony Isabella and artist Don Perlin.

Greer Nelson (née Grant) first appeared as The Cat. She later became Tigra through a mystic ritual that bound the soul of one of the Cat People to her own.
----
* AlliterativeName: '''Gr'''eer '''Gr'''ant.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Cat, but also tiger.
* ArchEnemy: ComicBook/TheHood after he and his gang gave her a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown because another villain asked him to do so in exchange for his advice. Tigra gets her revenge when, at the end of Dark Reign, she corners him and talks at length about how she wants to kill him... and then doesn't. [[CruelMercy Instead she simply brings in his wife so she'll know who he is and what he's done and never let him near her or his daughter again]].
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Tigra's fairly nice and even a little flirtatious normally. Keep in mind that this is a woman that had a conversation with X-23 about the best way to eviscerate a person.
* CatGirl: The Cat was once a costumed heroine who used a powered costume, but a ritual was performed on her, transforming her into the werecat Tigra. There's a tug-of-war between her human and feline instincts and which has the upper hand tends to [[DependingOnTheWriter depend on the writer]]. One day she's able to fly interstellar spacecraft, the next she's chasing and eating mice and unable to speak (except in cat noises.)
* CatsHateWater: Tigra used to be deathly afraid of water, though she seems to have at least somewhat gotten over it.
* ChildByRape: Has a BedTrick one in the form of her son who was conceived [[spoiler:by Skrull doppelganger pretending to be Hank Pym who seduced and impregnated Tigra. Despite this, she still loves her son, but responds with barely veiled rage when his Skrull parentage is brought up.]]
* DatingCatwoman: In a miniseries from 2002, Greer (using the false name of Greer Sorenson) infiltrated a police academy hoping to find answers about the death of her husband Billy. While there she met and fell in love with Sergeant Matt [=McMullin=], an instructor at the academy. Unfortunately, Greer discovered that Matt was involved with a group of vigilante cops called the Brethren of the Blue Fist. Worse, it was revealed that Matt had killed Billy to stop him from exposing the Brethren's crimes.
* TheDragAlong: Didn't want or even ask to be involved in the events of ''Defenders: Beyond'', but magic spells don't really care about little things like that.
* HalfHumanHybrid: She is a human woman turned half-tiger thanks to magic. And ''then'' she... [[spoiler: went and got knocked up by a Skrull pretending to be Henry Pym. Which would make her child half-Skrull, one-quarter human and one-quarter magic tiger.]] The disguise was so good that the [[spoiler:Skrull imposter only gave Hank Pym's DNA, so the child is three-quarters human, one-quarter magic tiger.]]
* HealingFactor: If Tigra is injured, she is capable of regenerating damaged tissue faster than an ordinary human. She can heal injuries as severe as broken bones within a matter of days. However, she is unable to regenerate missing limbs, organs, or brain cells.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Her romantic history is a mess to say the least. Her first late husband was a chauvanist beat-cop who tried to strong arm her [[StayInTheKitchen into being a housewife despite her contrary wishes.]] She then courted another cop who [[spoiler:ended up being the man who murdered her late husband.]] Her next lovers were various and none lasted for long while the man who would bear her a child ended up being [[spoiler:an alien spy.]]
* HotTeacher: After joining Avenger's Academy, Tigra's definitely this. {{Lampshaded}} several times by the students, but especially when she meets Emma Frost in issue #22.
--> '''Emma Frost''': By the way, darling, I love your outfit. Don't let anyone tell you it's inappropriate for a teacher.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: In ''Defenders: Beyond'', when stuck in a LotusEaterMachine that shows everyone their greates desire, Greer's is being a respected A-List hero.
* JackOfAllStats: Tigra has impressive strength, speed, agility, healing and combat skills but is surpassed in one area each by another Avenger.
* LegacyCharacter: Greer is in fact not the first Tigra. In West Coast Avengers, Volume 2, Issue 6, it is revealed that the first Tigra was also a woman who was transformed into a cat person by the original two Cat People, Flavius and Helene.
* MostCommonSuperpower: Made especially obvious by her usual attire.
* MsFanservice: Tigra is a twofer, being a CatGirl who walks around wearing naught but a bikini. Later books have tried to justify this with Tigra saying wearing anything else over a full coat of fur would result in heatstroke, and the bikini is pretty much for modesty's sake.
* MyInstinctsAreShowing: Tigra originally struggled to control her cat-like urges and desires. After her "Human" and "Cat" souls were fused, it ceased to be an issue.
* NaturalWeapon: Her claws and fangs.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Tigra's power set isn't as impressive compared to a lot of the other Avengers. As she herself once said, "I can't fly. I don't teleport. I'm not a god of any type. I'm just... me."
* PrimaryColorChampion: As The Cat, Greer wore a yellow and blue costume.
* ReallyGetsAround: Known for being very sexually active and having had a lot of partners.
* SexyCatPerson: She's basically a humanoid tigress, and she's certainly gorgeous.
* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: She has pretty green eyes and her fiery red hair remains in cat form.
* StatuesqueStunner: She stands at 5'10"/178cm tall and very much attractive.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: She runs around in a bikini!. Counts as FridgeBrilliance when you consider the West Coast Manor is in California, and its probably hot enough for her already, as she's covered in fur 24/7. She even lampshades this in an issue of ''Avengers Academy'' where the students and the Runaways meet up.
* SuperSenses: Tigra's senses are about ten times as keen as an average human's, and about five times that of an average cat's. She also has a rarely used sixth sense that allows her to sense the emotions of others on a basic level.
* SuperReflexes: Tigra has incredible reflexes. She was able to dodge Ragnarok's hammer after it was thrown at her, and showed incredible flexibility while training White Tiger and again when slipping out of restraints that would've easily held a normal person.
* SuperSpeed: While not a speedster by any means, Tigra can move pretty fast if she wants to.
* SuperStrength: Though it's not usually played up, Tigra's officially as physically powerful as Spider-Man.
* SuperToughness: Tigra's physiology makes her much tougher than an ordinary person. Her body is able to withstand great impact forces and blunt trauma that would severely injure or kill a normal human, though she is far from invulnerable.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Tigra possesses a mystical talisman that allows her to change her appearance from feline to human at will. She rarely uses it and only appears in her human form when circumstances require it. She regards her feline body as her natural form.
* WolverineClaws: Tigra's claws are extremely sharp and tough.

Doctor Druid was a psychiatrist who was attracted to the mystic arts. After being trained by a Tibetan Lama, Druid gained mastery over some mystic arts.
----
* AlliterativeName: '''D'''octor '''D'''ruid.
* BestialityIsDepraved: His son Sebastian Druid appears as a member of Nick Fury's Secret Warriors, and is said to have monster blood in him.
* BackFromTheDead: In ''Dr. Strange, Surgeon Supreme'', he left Weirdworld and came back for real.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy:
** His Avengers membership was tainted when he was mind controlled by supervillainess the Terminatrix (at the time impersonating the space pirate Nebula) into manipulating the team on her behalf. While in this state, he even assumed chairmanship of the team for a very short period, though only because he rigged the election by controlling the minds of other members and forcing them to vote for him. When "Nebula" was cast into Limbo, Druid followed, as he was still under her thrall. He eventually regained control of his own mind and returned to Earth.
** As leader of the Secret Defenders, he was once again victimized by a villain's mind control, this time by the demon Slorioth.
* {{Druid}}: He was said to carry with him the ancient powers/knowledge of the Britons.
* EnlightenmentSuperpowers
* FallenHero: In the time leading up to Damion Hellstrom's murder of Druid, he'd become a murderous psychopath and cult leader, and his time on Weirdworld had him become a tyrant.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: During Stern's run on the Avengers, pretty much any interaction with him had everyone coming away thinking what an ass he was.
* {{Geas}}: When he gained his new powers in the ''ComicBook/Druid1995'' series, they were accompanied by a geis that he must not break. However, as his own powers couldn't see the nature of the geis, and Ludgate was the ''last'' druid, with no colleagues who could tell him, he didn't learn what it was until he hooked up with the witch Nekra Sinclair -- at which point he lost his magics and discovered that he's not supposed to love witches. Nekra, a LoveInterestTraitor working for Daimon Hellstrom, had seemingly known this all along.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: In ''ComicBook/Druid1995'' he snapped and became a SociopathicHero, leading to his murder by Nekra and Daimon Hellstrom. Then he was among the reanimated Avengers who rebelled against both the Grim Reaper and Amatsu-Mikaboshi. In the 2016 ''ComicBook/SquadronSupreme'' series. One always thought he was a self important asshole, but this combined with his reputation as the worst Avenger, and the general disrespect his former teammates had for him after his death lead to him taking over Weirdworld as a cruel tyrant. When he reappeared in 2019's ''Dr. Strange, Surgeon Supreme'', he once again seemed to be on the side of the angels, but the series ended before it could be confirmed to be true.
* HunterOfMonsters: He was a member of the pre-Fantastic Four team [[Characters/MarvelComicsMonsters the Monster Hunters]] (alongside [[Characters/{{Bloodstone}} Ulysses Bloodstone]], [[Characters/TheEternalsEternals Makkari]], [[ActionGirl Zawadi]] of the [[ComicBook/BlackPanther Wakandas]], and [[Characters/MarvelComicsMonsters Gorgilla]]), who combatted the assorted [[{{Kaiju}} giant monsters]] who were stomping around the Marvel Universe in those days.
* {{Jerkass}}: The guy could be quite a prick.
* KryptoniteFactor: Druidic magic is affected by iron.
* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: His son Sebastian Druid is a far nicer person than Anthony ever was.
* MindOverMatter: Druid was capable of levitating himself or other objects.
* MoreThanMindControl: His manipulation at the hands of Ravonna did include some brainwashing, but also just playing on Druid's general toolishness as was.
* NotQuiteDead: Killed by Hellstrom in the ''ComicBook/Druid1995'' series, but in ''ComicBook/SquadronSupreme2015'', it revealed that despite being dead, his soul took on a corporal form when it encountered Weirdworld, and that as long as he remained in the magical realm, he was essentially alive. Then he seemed to come back for real in ''Dr. Strange, Surgeon Supreme'', though the end ended before it could be revealed how.
* OccultDetective / ProtoSuperhero: Back before ''Fantastic Four #1,'' when Marv... er, Atlas Comics wasn't publishing super hero stories, Dr. Druid was a plainclothes hero with mystic powers who investigated assorted weird phenomena. He was originlly called "Doctor ''Droom,"'' but this was later changed so readers wouldn't confuse him with Doctor Doom. Creator/RogerStern brought him back after decades of obscurity to join the Avengers.
* PrecursorHero: He was this to Doctor Strange, both in-universe and out, according to [[https://www.cbr.com/doctor-strange-doctor-druid-origin-connections/ this link]].
* TheStarscream: As an Avenger, he started undermining or sniping at Monica Rambeau at every opportunity. Then Terminatrix got in his head, and Druid became willing to leave her for dead so he could be leader, and basically usurped control via brainwashing everyone in the room while standing over her in hospital.
* {{Telepathy}}: He possesses some degree of telepathy.
%%* WarriorTherapist
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: After he abandoned his superhero identity in ''ComicBook/Druid1995'', he devoted himself to the triple-goddess, acquiring nature powers and truly becoming the last druid. Unfortunately, this also harmed his already fragile sanity. Daimon Hellstrom swiftly decided that this new version of Druid was too dangerous to live.

Bonita Juarez was raised as a devout catholic in Buena Vista in New Mexico. Bonita Juarez gained superpowers when she was hit by a ball of cold fire that came out of the sky. The fireball contained extraterrestrial radiation that gave Bonita energy-wielding powers.

Taking the creature's name, she became a costumed hero, eventually joining the West Coast Avengers.
----
* AmicableExes: With [[Comicbook/AntMan Hank Pym]], her former West Coast Avenger's teammate.
* BraidsBeadsAndBuckskins:
** Averted with her initial costume, a yellow unitard with red boots and gloves, and Firebird-themed shoulder pads and tiara. Played straight with her later second uniform (see above).
** Taken to near-ridiculous extremes during her short tenure on Omega Flight, with her costume being made up almost entirely of buckskin-tassels and a giant fur-cape.

!!Jocasta
[[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/92503_60833_jocasta.jpg]]

!!! '''Alter Ego:''' Jocasta Vi Quitéria
!!! '''Notable Aliases:''' Bride of Ultron
!!! '''Team Affiliations:''' ComicBook/TheAvengers, ComicBook/MightyAvengers, ComicBook/AvengersAI
!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''The Avengers'' Vol. 1 #162 (August, 1977)

Once the Bride of Ultron, Jocasta has become an honorary member of the Avengers after years of loyalty and sacrifice. She had until most recently held a position at The Avengers Academy.
----
* BrainUploading: Ultron originally intended her to have Janet's brain. It didn't quite take, but Jocasta has enough of Janet's memory engrams in her to say she's sure what Janet might think.
* ChromeChampion: Her bodies are usually silver colored.
%%* ComboPlatterPowers
* EnergyWeapon: One of her many abilities is shooting lasers.
* GoodCounterpart: She's pretty much the good version of Ultron. She has her own EvilCounterpart in Alkhema.
* MeaningfulName: Named after the mythical Jocasta, wife and mother of Oedipus. The robotic version has Ultron in a similar role - she was his 'daughter' but created as his wife (and Janet Van Dyne, the template for her mind, was perceived as his mother, of sorts). Her relationship with Hank Pym has a hint of this as well.
* NonHumansLackAttributes: While she doesn't wear clothes, she doesn't have the human attributes that would make her indecent.
* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: Not only does she have a ridiculously human personality, but Jocasta can actually alter her physical appearance to look completely indistinguishable from an actual human.
* RoboRomance: She's had a long-standing on-again off-again romance with fellow robot [[ComicBook/MachineMan Aaron Stack the Machine Man.]]
* RobotGirl
* RobotHair: She's a robotic copy of [[ComicBook/TheWasp Janet Van Dyne]], and thus has a head shaped like her hairstyle.
%%* RobotMe: Of Janet Van Dyne.
%%* RoboticSpouse: Briefly with Hank Pym.
* TangledFamilyTree: She's technically both Ultron's daughter and intended bride. This, in her mind, makes her the Vision's sister ''and'' step-mom. And of course, this ties her to the monstrous Pym-Maximoff family tree.
* WeCanRebuildHim: She was destroyed, but rebuilt during the 80s by agents of the High Evolutionary wishing to use her knowledge of the Avengers against them. Given much of Jocasta's original body was destroyed, they had to remake a lot of her body from back-up plans. Happened again afterwards, with Sunset Bain appropriating her remains for a while.
* YankTheDogsChain: Rebuilt during "The Evolutionary War", and then she has to sacrifice herself to stop the High Evolutionary's schemes.

An incarnation of Hyperion from Earth-13034, he was brought into Earth-616 when he was saved from his dying universe by A.I.M., who intended to use him for their atypical generic evil plots. It is revealed in his origin issue that this Hyperion's Earth was destroyed by a universal incursion, a problem that the Illuminati where dealing with in New Avengers.

Hyperion accepted the Avengers' offer to join their ranks and subsequently joined the team to battle the Garden.

* TheBabyOfTheBunch: She's probably the youngest Avenger so far, even with the rapid aging. Eventually, age starts catching up to her.
* BrattyHalfPint: For a period, which is probably not helped by being raised by Rocket Raccoon in the dystopian ''Heroes Reborn'' reality, a rapid PlotRelevantAgeUp which meant she lacked the emotional maturity to deal with her powers, and the somewhat murderous default settings of the Starbrand power. Captain America mildly but pointedly knocks her out of it by telling her about her mother.
