History Characters / ChildOfTheStormOtherHeroesAndAllies

* FreudianExcuse: The fact that she grew up both without her father and to an extent, in his shadow didn't help. However, it is implied that her mother vanishing in 1962, when she was 17, hit her much harder. More than one character notes that she modelled herself very heavily on Peggy, singlemindedly dedicating herself to SHIELD in an attempt to live up to her parents' legacy - which led to neglecting her children. She tried to make up for it, but frankly admits that she was 'a much better spy than a mother' and by pushing them towards SHIELD and related careers, caused her rift with her daughter.
* FullNameUltimatum: Uses it on Tony, her godson, as it's one of the few ways of getting him to hear and obey that she cares to use. It seems to run in the family, considering how her son (Jack O'Neill) used it on her granddaughter/his niece, Carol - who, ironically, is the target of it when he fails to inform her of [[spoiler: Carol's kidnapping]], though her ire is also aimed at Steve and, though he doesn't notice it, Tony.

* ParentsAsPeople: Admits to Carol - and later, [[spoiler: the Kent family]], that she was 'a much better spy than a mother'. She was single-minded in her desire to succeed at SHIELD, to be the best and live up to Peggy's (and Steve's) legacy. It wasn't until Tony was born and she saw how Howard treated him [[WellDoneSonGuy (and the effect that had)]], that she realised her mistakes. However, as she laments, she was arguably too late, and even after trying to be better, she still unconsciously tried to mould her children in her image, which resulted in pushing her daughter away. Alison acknowledges her mistakes, observes that she hopes she's a decent grandmother because she's learned from them, and she and Marie seem to have since reconciled.

* LostLenore: To Steve.

* MySecretPregnancy: Kept her pregnancy as secret as possible, passing Alison off as her little sister, knowing exactly how even the nominal good guys would want to study the daughter of Steve Rogers.

* PosthumousCharacter: Possibly - she hasn't been seen for nearly fifty years, but the hints are that she isn't dead. Of those who know (Strange, Alison, Magneto, and the rest of the 'First Class' of X-Men), only Strange has said anything on the subject - apparently, it's "wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey".

* VillainRespect: Pierce notes that he met Peggy once as a young Agent, and apparently found her to be a very formidable and impressive woman, later needling Alison, her 'sister', about not matching up to her.

* SuperSpeed: He can shift into living light, coming with this. Since he's spliced with [[spoiler: Anakin Skywalker]] when he reveals this, the combination is a fearsome one.

* PhysicalGod: Borders on this at his height, taking on the Grandmaster.

* EveryoneLovesBlondes: The PM notes that she's rather attractive and that [[DirtyOldMan his Chancellor]] tends to check out her arse, filing the latter away for blackmail material for the next time the latter tries a leadership bid. [[note]] The Prime Minister is just the leader of the leading party and Ministerial posts are filled by powerful [=MP=]s, especially the Chancellor. Therefore, internal coups are common - only 1 of the last 6 [=PM=]s (David Cameron) actually got the job in an election, though 2 of the others (Theresa May and Boris Johnson) won later elections. [[/note]] [[AmazonChaser Harry,]] for his part, goes a little red when he sees her in a [[UnkemptBeauty battered and torn]] SpyCatsuit.

* UncannyFamilyResemblance: In personality, but she's a dead ringer for Peggy Carter. In appearance, she resembles an older Carol and wears a practical SpyCatsuit, something which Harry [[HormoneAddledTeenager notices.]]

* {{Expy}}: She's heavily influenced by the canon version of Agent 13/Sharon Carter, being Peggy's blonde and blue eyed 'sister' and a prominent and powerful SHIELD Agent with a tendency to wear white, both in skill and capacity for ruthlessness.

* GenerationXerox: Carol takes ''very'' heavily after her, in both looks and, to an extent, attitude. Sharon looks a little less like her, being built more like Peggy, but has pretty much the exact same attitude. For her part, she takes after Steve in body and Peggy in mind.

* WellDoneSonGuy: It's not immediately obvious, what with her cool, confident and classy demeanour, but it underpins her character. What with the fact that her father was the then believed dead Captain America, and her mother was Peggy Carter, a legend at the SSR/early SHIELD, who disappeared when Alison was 17, she was left feeling she needed to fill the gap they left, fulfil 'the Duty', and get her children (who she at first neglected to fulfil said duty) to follow in her footsteps. One did, the other didn't, creating a major rift between the two of them (though one that has since been patched up).

Uncle of Carol Danvers, father of [[ComicBook/{{Agent13}} Sharon Carter]] (she took Peggy's surname when she joined SHIELD) and all round badass. He was added to the story simply for RuleOfCool purposes, while the rest of the [[Franchise/StargateVerse Stargate universe]], a few characters excepted, is implied not to exist.

* BadassFamily: Part of one. His grandparents are Peggy Carter and Steve Rogers, his mother was a SHIELD Special Agent (the original Agent 13, as it happens) and Deputy Director of SHIELD before she "retired," his daughter is also a SHIELD Special Agent and one of their best, and his niece is well on course to be one of the greatest superheroes the world's ever seen, having been chosen to wield the Green Lantern Ring by the Sorcerer Supreme himself. His daughter explicitly describes super-spy stuff and heroics as 'the family business.'

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Chapter 75 subtly implies that he lost his son roughly the same way as his canon counterpart. Chapter 80 all but states it. He was also captured during Desert Storm, and while captured, his sister states that he was tortured.

** According to Deadpool, they were both on a mission to East Berlin in '88 that ended up involving a swimming pool full of black market Ben & Jerrys, a lot of vodka, half a dozen Stasi Agents, him and Deadpool singing Abba in some capacity that involved the Hellfire Club (but not its high-quality leather drag, apparently), which left Jack with a trick knee and Deadpool with threats that he'd be shot into orbit if Jack ever saw him again.

** By ''Unfinished Business'', he's mellowed out a little bit, revealing that he is still worried but he's got the discipline to keep up with his part of the mission and knows that she can look after herself.

* PuppyDogEyes: Carol implies that he's susceptible to this. O'Neill, for his part, [[BlatantLies maintains]] that her puppy dog eyes, effective as they are, [[NoodleIncident never stopped him telling her that she couldn't have more]] [[TrademarkFavouriteFood ice cream.]]

* SuperSoldier: Thanks to his heritage, he has the potential. [[spoiler: In ''Ghosts of the Past'', he reluctantly has the Serum activated, as the alternative was long term nerve damage.]]

A powerful mutant, master-thief and ladies man from New Orleans, [[ObfuscatingStupidity who is much, much smarter than he pretends to be.]] He first appears in ''Ghosts'' working for Sinister to pay off a debt, though his actual agenda [[WildCard is initally a mystery]]. He's also an artificially aged clone of Scott Summers. He is always charming, always friendly, and always, ''always'' dangerous. Given the nature of his identity and his scheming, he's WalkingSpoiler, so spoilers for ''Ghosts'' are UNMARKED.

* TheCasanova: Subverted, surprisingly enough. While he's charming and has a flirtatious manner, he's only mentioned as being in two relationships, and in the one we see, despite his [[TheVamp original intentions]], he's absolutely loyal to his girlfriend - Maddie and when they do break up, it's amicable and he sticks around for long enough to ensure that she was fine.

* DeadpanSnarker: A bit, first shown in a very dark, grim way when talking to Agent Coulson.

* TheMagicTouch: He can make anything he touches explode. He can also zap people back into consciousness and turn a vampire corpse to dust. It's later revealed in ''Unfinished Business'' that he can control his charge, delaying its detonation, charging something through another substance, and he's even capable of charging air and water molecules - and it's indicated that [[SwissArmySuperpower this is only the tip of the iceberg]]. It turns out that the precise control comes from his grandmother, Emma Frost.

* ActorAllusion: He jokingly claims to be "a clone of Ryan Reynolds" until he was "bitten by a radioactive Shar-Pei". This is also a ShoutOut to ''ComicBook/CableAndDeadpool'', where Deadpool explicitly described himself as looking "like Ryan Reynolds crossed with a shar-pei." He reckons that since his [[Film/GreenLantern2011 super-suit]] isn't [[{{Film/Deadpool}} green or animated]], he came out ahead.

Mercenary, mutant (in line with the [[{{Film/Deadpool}} films]]), assassin, and surprisingly chirpy soldier of fortune. Has an incredibly powerful HealingFactor, may be immortal, and is definitely completely insane. After eight years of [[Creator/NimbusLlewelyn the author]] refusing to include him, he finally appears in ''Unfinished Business''.

* MamaBear: Implied to have unleashed one hell of a can of arse-kicking on the Red Room and their Kree allies when they kidnapped an eight year old Alison.

* PostHumousCharacter: Possibly - she hasn't been seen for nearly fifty years, but the hints are that she isn't dead. Of those who know (Strange, Alison, Magneto, and the rest of the 'First Class' of X-Men), only Strange has said anything on the subject - apparently, it's "wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey".

Agent of SHIELD, chief opponent of Magneto, and the first wielder of the Green Lantern Ring in the modern era. Retired in the late 1990's, before being killed in the Battle of New York. [[PostHumousCharacter Several years dead]] by the time of the story, he nevertheless makes an appearance courtesy of Death to teach Carol the basics of ring slinging. Has at least one child, Jade, who's currently attending Hogwarts.

* PostHumousCharacter: He's been dead for over a decade by the time the story starts, appearing only in a flashback.

* {{Superweight}}: Type 4, at least, with the Ring, if not Type 5. Type 1 without it.

Former Deputy Director of SHIELD, and the first Agent 13 of SHIELD. She's a RetiredBadass when we first meet her in ''Ghosts of the Past'' - albeit for a rather dubious value of 'retired' ([[spoiler: and following ''Forever Red'', she's been reinstated alongside Maria Hill]]). She's also the daughter of Peggy Carter and Steve Rogers, passed off as the much younger sister of the former. Additionally, she's Tony Stark's godmother, who he refers to as his 'Aunt Ali', Carol Danvers' grandmother, and the matriarch of [[BadassFamily the Carter-Danvers]] clan. Like her granddaughter, she's more emotionally screwed up than is immediately apparent. Also a sort of godmother to [[spoiler: Clark Kent.]] In general, she is very much her mother's daughter.

* TokenGoodTeamMate: For the Red Room. He's a fairly decent guy, as Carol observes, while his colleagues are [[AxCrazy Belova]], [[MadScientist Sinister]], [[GeneralRipper Lukin]], and [[spoiler: Maddie]], who's not precisely malicious but a bit... ''off'', and Dudley, probable murderer and definite rapist who enjoys hurting people. It transpires that he's Natasha's mole and TheAtoner, ultimately out to save both the prisoners and Maddie.

* EthicalSlut: As demonstrated in her life as Phryne Fisher, she ReallyGetsAround, but she also seems to genuinely care for her exes. Despite shagging over a third of the Round Table, Merlin, and Morgana, she implies that her connection with Arthur (who was married) was strictly platonic, and refers sympathetically to Lancelot's unrequited love for Gwen.

* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: Unlike almost every canon version of him, Johnny's powers are not fire-related, but light related - much like his sister's, in fact. However, the Grandmaster implies that there's still some similarity, stating that he's a "matter-energy shifter", implying he can become living light.

* TookALevelInBadass: Powers aside, the brief glimpses of him in Book I and the mentions depicted him as a fairly ordinary and impulsive teenager with zero brain to mouth filter. Despite the fact that he's not physically aged (mentally is more complicated), fifteen years on Sakaar in the DeadlyDecadentCourt of the Grandmaster has made him an excellent actor who knows just how far he can push the Grandmaster's amusement, can quickly pick up on a situation and manipulate it at least somewhat in his favour, and endure some pretty horrible fates.

%% Doesnt explain the reaction* BerserkButton: In Sith mode, being mocked. Which Harry does, relentlessly.

* MasterSwordsman: As per canon. However, Harry can match him blow for blow once he gets past the shock, and is controlling the fight.

* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: He's wearing black and his lightsabre is, courtesy of the Grandmaster, suddenly red. Harry, in a fashion typical of both him and Obi-Wan, points this out and mocks the aesthetic - and states that red ''really'' isn't Anakin's colour.

* DudeMagnet: She shagged over a third of the Round Table, and that seems to be pretty normal by her standards. [[ChickMagnet And it isn't just the guys, either.]]

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[ComicBook/BlueBeetle A Scarab Warrior?]] A brief amusement and a messenger. The Grandmaster? A concern, but no more. Harry in the arena? Popcorn entertainment. When someone arrives disguised as Darth Revan? Someone she recognises? ''Now'' she's concerned.

* BerserkButton: Assuming that he'll put himself ahead of his country. T'Challa presses it at the end of ''Child of the Storm'' by accident, and Thor nearly presses it in ''Ghosts'', before neatly changing tack.

* ManOfTheCity: A national level variant. His only - and we mean ''only'' - concern is the protection of Britain from threats, mystical or mundane. Any implication that he might put his own interests ahead of his country's is a reliable BerserkButton. Unfortunately, this also makes him TheUnfettered, as there's practically nothing he ''won't'' do to protect his country.

* BerserkButton: Hurting the innocent or [[BreakTheCutie a character losing their innocence]]. Once it is pressed, he can be relied upon to go on a vicious rampage.

* GoodIsNotSoft: He is a patient and wise ReasonableAuthorityFigure with a good sense of humour and a kind heart. He is also capable of doing things that give Nick Fury recurrent nightmares when he needs to/his BerserkButton has been thoroughly pushed.

* BerserkButton: He has two big ones - he really does not like bullies, and he doesn't appreciate apparent callous insensitivity to severe trauma - something which probably goes back to how he got his wings.

* BerserkButton: Don't threaten his family. Just don't. Even implicitly - and perhaps unwittingly - threatening his niece has him on the point of lunging across the conference table and killing the person suggesting it with his bare hands, and when he finds out that [[spoiler: she was kidnapped by the Red Room,]] he's pretty much set to take them on single-handed.

* BerserkButton: He keeps it very well controlled, but he is ''furious'' when he hears how [[AbusiveParents Lord Raith]] treats his children (not telling them about their true identities until after they have made their first, accidental, kill during sex, to make them easier to control).

* BerserkButton: In Sith mode, being mocked. Which Harry does, relentlessly.

* GlassesDoSomethingUnusual: He sometimes wears a pair of glasses which give him a full view of the electromagnetic spectrum, including, he implies, magic. They also [[ShoutOut double as]] [[Series/DoctorWho 'brainy specs.']]

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: A super spy that successful isn't going to have had much time for her children, and it's not surprising that someone growing up in the shadow of Captain America and one of the founders of SHIELD would have trouble accepting a child who doesn't want to live up to that legacy.

* PopCulturedBadass: Implied to be this, recognizing Dresden's reference to him as "[[Film/{{MIB}} Agent C]]." Though given his exasperated reaction, it's probably not the first time he's heard that joke.

* BlackSheep: Implies that she's this to her family, since she doesn't behave as they feel a lady should.

* CompositeCharacter: Of his 616 and Ultimate selves, being a teenager (more like the latter) and having amber eyes.

* CloningBlues: Strongly hit by this after TheReveal he's actually Scott Summers' clone, feeling that he's a bad copy of a better man.

* BeenThereShapedHistory: Trained Sif and Fandral, served Merlin and was 'the best of Arthur's court', fought in the Last Great Frost Giant War, trained [[KnightInShiningArmour William the Marshal]], [[WroteTheBook Johannes]] [[{{Literature/Blossfechten}} Liechtenauer]], [[Literature/TheSongOfRoland Roland of Roncesvalles]], [[MasterSwordsman Gerard Thibault]] [[WroteTheBook d'Anvers]], [[WroteTheBook Ridolfo Capo Ferro]], [[Characters/CelticMythology Chu Culainn]], [[Characters/ClassicalMythologyMortalsAndDemigods Atalanta and 'most of the Argonauts']], cross-trained with UsefulNotes/MiyamotoMusashi, and that's apparently not a complete list.
** Oh, and she ''was'' UsefulNotes/JulieDAubigny.

* ContraltoOfStrength: An excellent singer with a comparatively deep voice and a literal LivingLegend in combat.

* LongLived: It's very heavily implied that time travel aside, she's lived far longer than any human should have been able to, with Harry stating after watching her fight that humans simply ''don't live long enough'' to get as good as she is, something she does not deny. [[spoiler: Buri]] later tacitly confirms this, implying that they're at least in similar age categories - and he's somewhere between four and eleven thousand years old.
* MasterSwordsman: As a master of the sword and a teacher of masters, she's got a good claim to be ''the'' greatest example of this in the setting. [[WarGod Sif]] and [[LivingLegend Fandral]]'s sheer skill is explicitly put down to the fact that ''she'' trained them. And Harry states after watching her fight that even as good as those two have become, she's ''still'' better than they were. Separately, she was stated to be the best of Arthur's court.
** When we finally meet her in person, this is confirmed; she goes toe-to-toe with a Blue Beetle, something that gave Harry Thorson a significant fight when it was ''holding back'' (when it isn't, Harry explicitly notes that if it had fought against him like that, he'd have quickly discovered how much of a HealingFactor the Phoenix would give him on Sakaar), and utterly defeats it without more than a couple of hairs out of place. An astounded Harry, who's already pretty talented with a blade, notes that for a swordsman, watching her in action is like a musician listening to Mozart or Doctor Strange.

* OddFriendship: The snarky, anti-social, hot-blooded King of Atlantis has this with Steve Rogers, going back to their days fighting side by side in WW2.

* BeenThereShapedHistory: Trained Sif and Fandral, served Merlin and was 'the best of Arthur's court', fought in the Last Great Frost Giant War, trained [[KnightInShiningArmour William the Marshal]], [[WroteTheBook Johannes]] [[{{Literature/Blossfechten}} Liechtenauer]], [[Literature/TheSongOfRoland Roland of Roncesvalles]], [[MasterSwordsman Gerard Thibault]] [[WroteTheBook d'Anvers]], [[WroteTheBook Ridolfo Capo Ferro]], [[Characters/CelticMythology Chu Culainn]], [[Characters/ClassicalMythologyMortalsAndDemigods Atalanta and 'most of the Argonauts']], and that's apparently not a complete list.

A Knight of the Cross and wielder of ''Amoracchius'', the Sword of Love, better known as Excalibur. A carpenter in his day job and devoted family man, he's a devout Catholic (but not a dogmatist) and a KnightInShiningArmour. All canon tropes up through ''Literature/ProvenGuilty'' apply here.

* HiddenDepths: He's not exactly a sweetheart, but he is fairly kind, willing to help Harry work through his issues and understand himself and the Phoenix better.

* NiceGuy: Sweet and vivacious he is not, but he does have a sense of true compassion.

* AdaptationNameChange: Sue and Reed's son is canonically named ''Franklin'', but this iteration of him has been called ''Francis'' instead. WordOfGod insists there's a reason behind this choice.

* OurPhlebotinumChild: He is a quite literally impossible. Given that Sakaar's timeless nature prevents little things like ageing, no one has a clue how the hell he was conceived, much less how he continues to grow at an apparently normal rate.

Current favourite at the Grandmaster's court, he appears to be a pretty, vapid, and pretty vapid eternal teenager, an influencer style celebrity and sycophant. However, as becomes quickly apparent, appearances deceive - after all, hes lasted this long, hasn't he?

* SmarterThanYouLook: Given that he's survived the equivalent of fifteen years in the Grandmaster's immediate proximity, when the Grandmaster has the attention span and impulse control of a toddler, it's pretty safe to say that he's not the brainless youth he pretends to be.

** Gives three rather good ones in chapter 20 of ''Ghosts'', when laying out [[KickTheSonOfABitch an ultimatum of the 'do as I say or suffer' variety.]] One is the folder quote, the other two are below.

* HurtingHero: Though she's exceptionally good at concealing it, she cares very deeply for people and constantly being yanked onwards to leave them behind has taken a serious toll on her, even more so when loved ones are erased from time - something which [[spoiler: Buri]] hints has happened more than once.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Performed a very literal example, apparently having 'drop-kicked' Omega Red through Mount Yamantau.

* RoyalFavourite: Subverted. Superficially, this is his dynamic with the Grandmaster, leading Harry to suspect the historical sexual associations - and to make it quite clear that if this ''is'' the case, he'll repeat his trick of making "an Elder God scream". As it is, that isn't the case, but the truth is arguably worse - he's more like a court jester, entertaining the Grandmaster to survive, or spending time as an abstract installation of living art which makes his soul scream.
