Added DiffLines:

* HeelFaceDoorSlam: After receiving extensive therapy and medication for her emotional instability, she legitimately regrets her past actions but decides to kill herself out of guilt for hurting Tony.


Added DiffLines:

* LackOfEmpathy: Zigzagged. Her suicide is motivated by her guilt for hurting Tony, but she's never shown expressing any regrets for the other people she hurt like her brother and the musician lover she had before she stalked Tony.


Added DiffLines:

* RejectedApology: At a wake being held for Tony, she approaches his entourage now on strong medication and tries to acknowledge and apologize for her past actions. Considering the situation and her past behavior, Rhodes and the others understandably want little to do with Kathy or her apologies.
* SanityHasAdvantages: She reappears after Tony fakes his death yet again, having been put on Prozac by doctors and finally understanding her behavior was unacceptable. Unfortunately, she's so overcome with guilt that she shoots herself in the head later on.


Added DiffLines:

* StalkingIsFunnyIfItIsFemaleAfterMale: Averted. She's initially seen as an annoyance, but the narrative makes it clear her clinginess is unacceptable even before she got violent.


Added DiffLines:

* WoundedGazelleGambit: At her lawyer's insistence, Kathy tries to pretend that Tony was physically abusive towards her and she shot him out of self-defense. It doesn't work, especially when a psychiatrist who's known her since she was a child takes the stand.

A one-time Iron Man enemy, Mallen only appearance as an antagonist was during the critically acclaimed ''Extremis'' storyline.
When Mallen's [[ParentalAbandonment parents]] were [[JustFollowingOrders killed in a shootout of the FBI over a weapons violation]], he grew up to search for [[YouKilledMyFather revenge against the FBI]] and [[RageAgainstTheLegalSystem the Government itself]] eventually joining a group of [[WesternTerrorists domestic terrorists]].

Then [[spoiler:Dr. Maya Hansen]] gives them the [[PsychoSerum Extremis virus]] to enhance Mallen... [[GoneHorriblyRight they succeed]]. After this Mallen started his RoaringRampageOfRevenge by attacking [[RevengeByProxy Houston's FBI branch]], his method: [[KillItWithFire toasting everyone inside the building]] [[BreathWeapon with his new fire-breathing powers]].

This caused Iron Man to confront him... [[CurbStompBattle It didn't go well for Tony.]]

His next step was to eliminate the US leaders at Washington D.C. However [[CameBackStrong Iron Man was waiting for him outside]], [[NextTierPowerUp this time having taken Extremis himself]], the battle ended differently this time...

* CyberNinja: Runs a clan of these armed with LaserBlade katanas.
* DatingCatwoman: Heavily implied to be the reason why she was smitten with Miles Morales and why she was so disappointed to learn that he was Spider-Man. Even if Miles did requite her attraction to him, it would never realistically grow past flirting by virtue of her being a {{Yakuza}} and him being a {{Superhero}}.
*
DragonLady: A CyberPunk {{cyberpunk}} variation.
* EverythingsBetterWithNinjas: Commands an army of CyberNinja.
ExplosiveLeash: She implants bombs in her goons' heads as a measure to keep them from divulging information. Not that she needs to worry as they are [[UndyingLoyalty fanatically loyal to her]].
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Describes herself this way, saying that nobody cared who she was before her Inhuman powers kicked in and helped her to overthrow the Japanese underworld, becoming a very powerful crime boss who fights the likes of Iron Man and Spider-Man.
* GenreSavvy: She is well aware that the only reason
she got is thriving is because she has not caught the ire/attention of any S.H.I.E.L.D. or Avengers operatives. The moment that she did, she immediately dipped out and went into hiding. She was also relieved when the bane and reason why her powers.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: The Techno Golem armor has [[GlowingEyesOfDoom glowing red eyes]]. eyes]].
* RevengeBeforeReason: She is vindictive and prideful, so she does not forget those who betrayed her and slighted her in the least. Given that both Spider-Man and Ironheart drew her ire, one can expect that she will come back and haunt them again.



* SmittenTeenageGirl: Very much the case with Miles Morales and why she was disappointed that he was Spider-Man. Even after the fight and the realization that he is Spider-Man and everybody had collapsed, she crawls over to him hinting that she wanted to kiss him.
* {{Technopath}}: An extremely powerful one at that -- she can use any technology that is metal-based. She has stripped four Iron Men of their suits, stripped both Spider-Men of their web shooters, implanted several biotech mods in her flunkies that she can detonate on will, and shut down an entire building. There is a reason why S.H.I.E.L.D. has her under constant surveillance.
* {{Yakuza}}: Although she was not born in a gang, Tome did create her own syndicate from scratch and used them to overthrow and assimilate her rivals in the Japanese underworld.
